Blitz is really good at taking care of people. He took care of Moxxie in prison when Moxxie was too upset to talk and gave him a job. He comforted Millie when she was having some hard thoughts about their race and the office. He's always taken care of Loona, ever since he saw her at the orphanage. Now he gets to take care of Stolas.
For as blunt and loud as Blitz is, there has never been any doubt in my mind that he loves people. He loves them so hard.
And it’s only made better by the fact that Blitzø immediately backed off/didn’t pursue a play fight when he realized Stolas didn’t know/wasn’t into it.
Blitzø is so considerate sometimes, gotta love the gremlin lizard! ❤️
OH MY GOD I JUST REALISED
BLITZØ WAS TRYING TO DO WHAT M&M WERE DOING AT THE OFFICE! This is how you celebrate Sinsmas in the spirit of wrath—you playfully attack the people you love!
Stolas just didn't get it because he doesn't know about Sinsmas 🥺
Blitzø showing his love VS Blitzø receiving love
We all know at this point that Blitzø loves his found family. He encourages them, he protects them, and is even outright physically affectionate at times. Blitzø acts the unlovable asshole, and even outright self-sabotages his relationships in certain cases, but he can’t hide the fact that he cares. And he cares more than anyone is willing to give him credit for. Himself especially.
Which makes his reactions to his found family returning his love in their own ways all the more heartbreaking. He questions it, he’s shocked by it, and doesn’t really know how to react to it. And that says more about his true character than any facade he hides behind.
So, I’ve been rewatching some of my favorite Helluva Boss episodes lately (as you do, the cope is real). And to add some variety to each rewatch, I’ve started to focus on watching reactors and seeing their takes on those episodes. It’s been a blast! Seeing the different reactions and perspectives that they bring to my favorite episodes. Some of them have even pointed out things I never even noticed while watching the episode on my own. It really adds a freshness to each rewatch, as if I’m seeing the episode for the first time all over again.
Hower, it’s not always a matter of new insights and enjoyable new perspectives. Which is understandable, and expected honestly. It’s the internet, afterall.
What I don’t understand is how every reactor has had almost the exact same response to the scene from “Mammon’s Magnificent Mid-Season Special” regarding Fizz’s stalker “fan”.
Every reactor’s initial response is excitement at Blitz’s timely arrival in intercepting Creepzo, eagerly anticipating Blitz doing what he does best and assassinate the creep. But then Blitz decides not to shoot, opting instead to just smack Creepzo with his gun and leaving him to slink off. Every reactor I’ve watched was flabbergasted by this, not understanding why Blitz didn’t just kill the creep. But then, the whole event is put to the back-burner and ultimately forgotten due to the drama that immediately follows afterwards.
Heck, if I’m being honest, I had the exact same response when I first watched the episode myself. But I’ve been obsessively rewatching my favorite episodes back to back ever since “Sinsmas” aired, so of course I noticed something I didn’t pick up on that first viewing.
Blitz’s reaction to Fizzarolli’s panic says it all. He knew that Fizz wouldn’t be able to handle it if Creepzo got shot. Heck, he was there when Fizzarolli himself admitted that he does’t handle dangerous situations.
Blitz was listening. And he handled the situation in a way that he thought wouldn’t agitate Fizzarolli any more than he already was.
And it doesn’t end there! Here’s another interesting little detail that I don’t see people mentioning.
Asmodeus arrives just in the nick of time to support Fizz and help talk him down from his panic attack. But here’s the thing. How is he there? It was stated multiple times that Asodeus wasn’t supposed to be at the event in Greed. And the whole fiasco that took place in “Oops” shows that he doesn’t keep tabs on Fizzarolli when he’s outside of Lust. So, how did he know?
Simple, Blitz told him.
Blitz was working with Asmodeus to convince Fizz to quit the clown pageant in the first place. But, when everything Blitz said went completely ignored or was outright rebuffed, he simply stood by his friend to act as support. Until he realized it wasn’t enough. Blitz actually assessed the situation and determined that Fizz needed Asmodeus more than anyone else in that moment. And he took a step back and left it to Asmodeus.
Showing yet another instance of Blitz caring about his found family, and showing his love by being considerate in such subtle ways that people don’t notice.
Blitz was checking in with his team. Watching their backs and offering them assistance or additional support if they needed it. He even returned to check back in with Moxxie since a decent amount of time passed since he last checked in.
It’s stuff like this that really highlights just how much Blitz cares about his found family. And makes me question why people are so surprised with how considerate Blitz can be with those he cares for in later episodes.
