To Start This Lovely Commentary, I Will Place My Cards Out In The Open:

To start this lovely commentary, I will place my cards out in the open:

Blitzo is not the villain in his and Stolas' relationship nor is Stolas the victim in this realtionship either.

To some, this statement is a recognizable fact, one the canon caste system even supports. However, many of the current fanbase seems to disagree with this idea, comparing Blitzo to abusive characters like Stella, Crimson, and even Mammon. Others even put him on the same level as those previous characters. Besides this being one of the greater leaps of logic I've seen come out of this fandom, it is simply not true.

Yes, Blitzo does not treat Stolas kindly outside of their sexual agreement with Blitzo appearing to outright ignore him most of the time if not purposefully avoiding him. However, notice the wording I used there: sexual agreement.

Stolas and Blitzo have never been in an official romantic relationship and their current agreement is not one Blitzo entered in on equal footing with Stolas nor out of affection for him. Blitzo agreed to be with Stolas as a means of survival for his business, somethings that is extremely rare for imps to have due to their caste position.

Time and time again we are poorly shown that a rather strict caste system does exist in hell. This means that relationships with people in different castes carry different problems and consequences for those involved.

For those in higher ranking castes in a high-lower rank relationship, the worst outcome of being with a lower ranking demon appears as a diminished social standing and lack of respect, but the lower ranking partner doesn't get that. For the lower ranking demon of the relationship, they risk dehumanization by their partner with them loosing all autonomy and independence. They are no longer themselves; they become an extension of their higher ranking partner, an object that can be tossed away if the partner

Blitzo, who was raised in this system and still suffers under it, is right to fear stepping into a relationship with Stolas, and he has more than a right to refuse to be kind and gentle to a being that is literally hanging his livelihood over his head for sexual favors.

It does not matter if Stolas truly cares about him or not. Their relationship from Day 1 was not something Blitzo could walk away freely from nor even wanted to be in. In physical, social, and economical might, Stolas holds all the cards in their relationship, and nothing Blitzo can do can change that. Stolas could kill Blitzo and no one would turn an eye because he is an imp and Stolas is a Prince.

As a result, Blitzo has no obligation to be kind to someone who is a high ranking member in the system that views him as equal to dirt nor can Stolas be upset about Blitzo doing such when their relationship was born from Stolas taking advantage of Blitzo in a vulnerable situation.

Stolas is no victim here, and if Viv had researched caste systems, the true victim of the relationship would be clearer: Blitzo.

Because at the end of the day, Blitzo remains under Stolas' thumb, an unwilling subject to whatever tasks or desires Stolas forces on him. That is all the caste system of hell allows him to be.

Even if Stoltiz was healthy and didn't start out as the guy with more power coercing sex out of him: Neither of them clash off each other, let alone have chemistry. But you know who Blitzo DOES have chemistry with:

Fizz (the ex strained childhood best friend)

Striker (His foil)

Verosika Mayday (his bitter ex who he hurt and I do hope one day Blitzo genuinely apologizes to her being character growth what's that?)

Hell, he had more chemistry with Ozzie and the two had what, two minutes of screen time together but they bonded over their love and care for Fizz (polycule when?)

Viv had so many opportunities to have a genuine couple, let alone two choices for queer couples, that Blitzo could have ended up with but she chose this end game to be stuck with his abuser and rapist because she finds it hot.

Granted Blitzo would need to work on himself before entering a relationship but my point still stands.

Everyone’s favorite incel: Ashfur!

They doxxed my boi 😔✋

My guy is 1695 years old yoooo

One thing I don't understand about Asmodeus is that he purports to being against love potions, etc, but then he apparently directly controls who gets to go to Earth using the crystals only found in the Ring he rules over, and he chooses to send succubi who can induce feelings of lust in the humans who hear them sing? So... How's that different from any other dubcon sex pollen situation?

Everybody give it up for columnar jointing
