Do I Have The Maturity And Experience To Tackle This Dynamic Right? - Tumblr Posts

Thinking about Helluva Boss rn, and I'm honestly surprised I'm still here, when like, I really should hop off after Apology Tour, that episode still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

There's still a vague, vague, hope in me that they can recover this with an episode covering Stolas's part in the relationship, but a part of me knows that an episode like that isn't going to see the true nuance of the situation if Vivziepop is writing it. I don't need my writer's to be saints, like, I don't care about the reports that Vivziepop is a jackass to everyone she works with or whatever, but somebody mentioned something that I think explains so much, and lines up with those reports.

I saw a post somewhere at one point that mentioned Vivziepop might not be emotionally mature enough to tackle a story like Stolas and Blitz's relationship, and so much clicked after that.

She wants to keep Stolas as this cute soft uwu boi, when everything from his social status to his actions indicate otherwise.

And I was willing to brush it off as it being that it's simply the character acting like that, but thinking about it more, Vivziepop just straight up probably doesn't see the problem with Stolas's actions, it's not just a retcon or a writing fluke on her part.

Like, the Full Moon fight scene genuinely felt like such a masterpiece of character writing between Blitz and Stolas because it felt like characters interacting as characters, with their own flaws and worldviews going into the situation, and not as a mouthpiece for the author, and because of how nuanced and masterful that scene is, I genuinely don't think Vivziepop wrote that scene :v

Nah, I'm serious. How can that whiplash happen? From nuance to shoving it in your face that Blitz is supposed to be in the wrong for most of the relationship. I don't know who all else is on the writing team, but props to you for making this powerful scene👍

But this is like historical levels of whiplash, I have never felt such joy seeing Helluva Boss release a new episode shortly after creating such a promising one, to feeling disapointed, betrayed, and just this ugly feeling afterward like "...Goddamn, they really did him like that? Ok"

And I feel so ugly after watching that, like, I feel gaslighted on Blitzo's behalf. Like, "no, blitz, I was there. I saw it happen too. They can't just do us like this blitz, they can't."
