It just now clicked how fucking manipulative and gaslighty Stolas is, ESPECIALLY in apology tour
Like, oh my god, Stolas is basically trying ti rewrite their history; aka, GASLIGHT Blitz into thinking he didd all these things-
These episodes are supposed to make us feel sympathy for Stolas, but all I can see is my own abuser saying how they feel in order to undermine the events and others feelings and try to gaslight me/get away scott free, and holy fuck I don't feel good anymore
Oh God yeah theres. So much I could say about this.
I fucking hate this bit, the missing every sign and every turn. Because those "signs" were literally just Blitz saying no leave me alone. They were him expressing discomfort at being demeaned like a toy and at explicit sexual advances, often that occurred in public, further adding to Blitz's humiliation. We know this because this one in the screen cap has Blitz in the harvest moon festival outfit. Remember that episode, and how Blitz was uncomfortable at others knowing he'd been forced to allow St*las' sexual extortion to happen to get the book for his business? Remember how he'd express constant irritation at the fuckass bLiTzIe!!! shit? Yea. Pepperidge farm remembers...
The "did I come on too strong" is so fucked too. So incredibly fucked. Blitz tells St*las "Don't try to fuck me today, I'm not fucking you out of hours, this isn't what we agreed to and I don't want to be propositioned for sex" and he gets laughed at and told hes "so cute when hes serious" in response. Yeah idk about anyone else. But I can't imagine my fury if a guy responded to me saying I'm anxious and hostile at the idea of being propositioned for sex I don't want by him like this. And after this, St*las then goes ahead and mocks Blitz's job and work and makes it about sex with the aim comment etc. Demeaning his career on top of demeaning his anxieties about being hit on and propositioned for sex against his will. Great.
Finally, it cracks me up so bad that we've had so little positive consensual content of these 2 that they had to make up some to be able put it in here.
Like aw geez yeah hes smiling! But. Hes still. Only there. Because. His business goes belly up if hes not there. And the ball gag means this is from right before Harvest Moon I think. So this is around when St*las said and did this demeaning shit to Blitz:
Oh yeah totally this is all Blitz's fault though guys and BLITZ is the one who is a motherfucker yep mhmm! Stolas definitely has the right to see this as a sweet wholesome positive moment between them amongst the bad ones, fuck what Blitz is actually expressing here and all the demeaning actions taken against him while he expresses disgust!
The way the realities of all of these moments are changed in St*las' head to make him a victim makes my skin crawl. The show actively lies to us via St*las and we're supposed to still like him. Hell no.
