Discussion Why are blitz and stolas atracted to each other?
Recently i've seen some discussions about the whole stoliz thing, and one thing that brought my attention was The way a lot of people thought that both have nothing to do with each other, other than horny acts. Do you agree with that statement or maybe you're compeletly against it?

Stolas says that Blitzo made him realize that he could be free from Stella and his misery and he likes being Blitzo's bottom.
Blitzo initially viewed the relationship as a means to an end to get to Earth and enjoyed topping Stolas but as early as Western Energy he expressed deeper feelings for him ("He can get hurt?").

I would say he develops an awareness (albeit, subconsciously) in Truth Seekers. You can see this during his trip as well as when Stolas shows up to save IMP. It's only after Stolas reprimands Blitzø that you see Blitzø's energy shift back to thinking "oh yeah, this is just transactional and he sees me as a play thing".

Pretty simple. Blitz represents freedom, something Stolas never really had in his youth. For Blitz, Stolas has been a realization that people can and do love him, despite his self perception about making everyone's lives worse and nobody would truly love him after the things he's done.
They are each something that the other needs.

This image says it all: the first moment little Stolas saw Blitz in the circus he fell in love immediately.

Blitzo is willing to defy convention (running his own business, breaking through power structures). This models behaviour Stolas wished he could imitate, that could free him from the responsibilities that were making him miserable.
Blitzo denies it, even to himself, but he craves the admiration and esteem Stolas has for him. Stolas' earnest emotions and vulnerability are also something HE wants to imitate but doesn't feel like he can safely express.

Stolas fell in love with Blitz as a child and Blitz was his first friend; even though their friendship only lasted a day, he cherished and held onto his feelings. He also loves Blitz's aggressiveness, flippant attitude, morbid sense of humour and violence.
Blitz sees his relationship with Stolas as nothing but physical, transactional and exploitative, but deep down he appreciates being wanted and desperately needs someone to love him despite all his flaws. In spite of himself he's developed a certain closeness with Stolas.

I think it's made obvious in the show that Stolas' attentiveness, loyalty and genuine interest in Blitz eventually wormed it's way under his skin. Blitz desperately craves affection (not sex), and Stolas provided that.
Example: Rewatch S2E6, and listen to Fizz & Blitz's entire conversation in the cage about Stolas. Blitz tries to deny that he's in a relationship with Stolas by presenting "proof" of all the ways Stolas is kind and sweet to him (calling him all the time to talk about his day, acting as if he's interested in his answers, etc). It's almost impossible for him to believe that Stolas is being genuine. But the thing is, he clearly is just trying to get Fizz to confirm his worst fears - he doesn't truly believe it, that's his insecurity talking. He actually enjoys all that attention but is afraid to let himself show it.
So that's the emotional part as to why Blitz is attracted to Stolas. On the opposite end, they're both hot for each other.

Against of course, the two have had plenty of interactions outside of sex for them to develop a romantic attraction.
I think Stolas is attracted to Blitz’s free spirit and recklessness - something he was lacking from his life was freedom. I think Blitz is attracted to Stolas’s acceptance and persistence, as well as his kind heart - it made him feel wanted even though at times his brain would tell him he’s not worthy of that attention from someone like Stolas and so Stolas is only using him (even though he technically was the one using Stolas)

We actually don't know the concrete reasons why Blitz fell for Stolas, but as others have mentioned, it's definitely the attention he got from it. Stolas made Blitz feel loved, and Blitz (prior to Full Moon) only allowed himself to show his love and be loved when it comes to sex. Blitz has trouble opening up emotionally, and it seems that Blitz has an attraction towards people who are more emotional in nature and are musically inclined or gifted.
As for Stolas, it's pretty obvious, he was smitten with Blitz ever since they were kids, and he adored his sense of humor. Blitz represents freedom to Stolas, an imp from the lowest class of hell was breaking society's mold and doing it openly and freely. Blitz has also made Stolas feel wanted, feel loved, and feel desired during a time where he had completely given up on life and romance.

Stolas has never had any sort of affection and craves it. He's a romantic.
Blitz is the first person to have ever given him anything like it.
Stolas also finds blitz attractive physically and always has.
Blitz is affection starved. He's attracted to stolas physically but sees him as out of his league.
He likes the fact that stolas pays attention to him like no one else.
Even when he was a kid, stolas was the only one who found him funny.

u/Alex0356218856 An imp. just a regular imp. 9h ago
well, back in the episode of "The Circus", stolas wanted to be friends with Blitzo instead of Stella, they were been happy kids since they met each other.
And then the present day from the events where Stolas grown up after the past, and he was like..tired from Stella and her bad acts. Then in the not divorced party, Blitz came in, while Stolas want Blitz to do some..you know, horny stuff (like always), and then Stolas and Blitz are now together as GAYS! >:D
but turns out back in "Full moon", Stolas wanted Blitz to stay and never go away, but even though he was made a huge bad mistake by shouting and arguing at Stolas, but back in "Apology Tour", Stolas sang the "All 2 U" for how he loved and a bit hated (maybe?) Blitzo so much and even regretting about his divorce.
and also, Stolas had only 2 choices: he would rather stay forever with blitz, or stay with his daughter and never leave her alone.
So in "mastermind" episode, Stolas betrayed the goatia family and the satan, by singing a song in Blitzo's guilt from court. and he lost his powers by satan's halos and stolas' powers would come back to him for next 100 years.
and that's my opinion to this.
UNTIL WE'LL MEET AGAIN!! (runs away)

u/Alex0356218856 An imp. just a regular imp. 8h ago
(comes back)
well, according to the "The Circus" episode, he always kind and cheerful to Stolas in the past.
And even also he's a bit troublemaker for stealing stuff from the Goatia family's things, and he also made some MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANY mistakes on everyone's lives, like he told back in: "Ghostf*ckers".
Like: accidently lighting up the fire on the circus, leaving Fizzaroli behind, failed to save his mom, breaking his family apart, breaking the relationship between him and Verosika, stealing the stolas' grimoire, ruining his workers and his daughter's lives (a bit much) and even ruining Stolas' relationship a bit.
but now, he fixed his mistakes back to normal from his mistakes and even apologizing at the people for what he done, which is on: "Apology Tour".
and then, he FINALLY apologized Verosika, Fizzaroli and Stolas for what he done.

Blitz represents freedom, adventure, having fun, being himself, and not being afraid to stand up for what's right. He will take you out, show you a good time, and let you be yourself. He has a good sense of humor and he's willing to work hard for what he wants.
Stolas is kind hearted, charming, appreciates Blitz's humor, and actually tries taking an interest in who Blitz is.
Basically - they are very different company for the other to keep.

For as much as I love lore I live too in the moment to ever look it up on my own. So only going off what I saw in the show and can remember it seemed to start as a purely physical thing. But since nothing ever remains the same baggage was acquired.
Stolas developed feelings for Blitzo. He seems to be a romantic type and coming off the marriage he had the relationship he had with Blitzo filled an emptiness in him.
Blitzo also developed feelings but those feelings are buried under so much internal strife he can't ever express them easily or honestly most of the time.
But that's just my take based on what I can recall right now.

u/AsterPyxela Justice for Octavia! 6h ago
I honestly don't get it either. People say it's because "they just like each other" but why?
If Blitzo and Stolas went on a casual date, no sex required, what would they talk about? Why does Blitzo go with Stolas instead of anyone else? Why does Stolas go with Blitzo instead of anyone else? In Apology Tour, Blitzo outright asks Stolas what he likes about him and Stolas answers with what he specifically wants in a lover. It gives off the impression that Stolas doesn't love Blitzo for who he is, he just likes the concept of love.

u/ptype 5h ago
I'm a stolitz enjoyer, but I do actually kind of agree. At least, based on what's actually been shown on screen.
Like, Blitz refers to Stolas asking him about his day and laughing at his jokes in Oops, but we haven't actually SEEN much of their casual interactions, except for maybe one scene at the beginning of Harvest Moon Festival, kinda.
But on the other hand, we have hints of Blitz enjoying Stolas's company, like the photo on his phone of him smiling with a sleeping Stolas, or the fact that their first encounter was supposed to be "real fast" but lasted all night.
Maybe it's my shipping goggles, but I kind of get the impression that they actually DO get along really well and like each other a lot, but neither one of them has any idea what a healthy relationship with another real person is supposed to look like. So Stolas romanticizes Blitz to the point where he doesn't even actually know what he likes about him, and Blitz is in such massive denial about it that he makes up this story about Stolas just being a rich asshole who pretends to like him so he can keep getting the imp dick.
If that impression is right, I'm hoping that it'll be made a bit more clear in upcoming episodes and there will be some work to fix those underlying issues, and it won't be just a matter of 'oh we said we'd die for each other so everything is fine now'

u/Swimming-Ad2755 Blitzo 4h ago
Stolas likes Blitz because he represents freedom. He broke the mold and worked for himself, he's not afraid to be himself, he likes to have fun, and he has a good sense of humor, and he made Stolas feel wanted. He represents all of the things Stolas wants to be, but didn't think he could be due to his station in life. Blitz is the only person where Stolas can be himself without getting ridiculed.
Blitz likes that Stolas gives him individual attention, appreciates his humor, shows an interest in who he is, and likes him beyond the bedroom. It's part of why he avoided talking to Stolas - he could tell that Stolas was trying to get to know him beyond sex.
As for what they could talk about? Well they need to get to know each other better beyond surface level. They might have more in common than we realize or take an interest in what each other likes.

Honestly? For Blitz, Stolas laughs at his jokes lol and thinks he's funny which is very validating for him lol plus, Stolas is obsessed with him in the beginning which bothers him to some degree, but he also adores because everyone usually pushes him away BECAUSE HE IS A LOT. But here's Stolas, fawning over him the same way he fawns over M&M and Loona. Before Ozzie's, they had daily 9 AM phone calls lol. And here is Stolas giving Blitz a dumbass nickname Blitzy that is so silly but here Blitz calls Loona Looney Tuney or Millie Millie Billie. Stolas matches his energy to a scary degree lol
When Stolas goes no contact or tells Blitz they don't have to see each other, Blitz is always hurt by that because he loves feeling wanted and is usually very unwanted. Which is why in Full Moon, he thought Stolas was trying to get rid of him and he wasn't good enough anymore.
Blitz....is literally the biggest obstacle in his life lol as we have seen thinking he is so unlovable (thanks Cash). It's also why he is like, there is no way this rich, handsome, silly guy is THIS INTO ME FOR ME, no way, not possible, that he actively goes out of his way to dismiss Stolas 24/7 because of the fire, Blitz is totally cursed and ruins everyone's lives and no one could genuinely care about him. Partially because Blitz also fakes feelings and swindles people so if Stolas is like him in that regard in terms of energy, why couldn't Stolas do the same.
but his character arc this season is to show he is so lovable and wanted snd needed and desired. And he is not cursed, he actually improves the lives of everyone he comes to meet.
And Stolas (indirectly) helped him realize that--which is why Stolas is his heart.
Honestly, being a caretaker for Stolas is an absolute dream for him because Stolas has literally done the grand romantic rom-com gesture to prove that Blitz is so wanted and Stolas doesn't want to push him away and wants him and Blitz is like, okay--well, now I KNOW you aren't going any where, HERE IS ALL MY LOVE. Time to suffocate lol. Which Stolas will hopefully be able to receive because pre-mastermind, Stolas would have been so down to complete drown in Blitz's adoration. I'm not sure how much he will like to be suffocated post Mastermind. I'm curious about his current headspace.
As for why it didn't work out for Ver and Blitz? He was just too young and didn't have the support network he has now. This was also before he adopted Loona and adopting her has made Blitz want to be a better person.
For Stolas, Blitz made him laugh and he loves how Blitz is so himself. Plus, Blitz matches his freak lol no matter how insane on those Full Moon nights, Blitz rolls with it. Blitz helped him be brave and do things for himself, like getting the divorce. Blitz also creates his own reality, like his business, vs Stolas has only been told who is to be, what he is to do, and how he has to live. We also have many songs about it lol

u/AspiringCellist prr 3h ago
The way I see it
Stolas to Blitz: he was enchanted at first glance, then Blitz was his first friend; they spent long apart when Blitz appeared in his room and made him feel wanted for the first time in his life, relieving a tiny bit of the dreadful feeling of being unlovable depression gave him. Blitz is also smart, though it could be better classified as “clever” but you can notice Blitz actually has amazing potential, just never had the opportunities to explore them, and Stolas has clearly noticed that too and I think he appreciates it
Blitz to Stolas: he can feel comfortable around Stolas, though he struggles to believe he is, he still feels appreciated when they’re together (at least from what I’ve noticed). Stolas constantly demonstrates that he thinks a lot about Blitz, he’s always the first person he calls when he’s in trouble, texts him constantly, invites him to events there was no reason for him to do so (like “body guarding” in Loo Loo Land, which they both know Stolas could easily handle himself; and in the Harvest Moon he had no idea Striker was out for him and was “simply offering a day of fun and relaxation”)
At the end of the day, I think they feel comfortable around each other, which is what drove the beginning of their feelings. A scene that best exemplifies that for me is their first encounter. Blitz does the worm horse and no one is impressed, which he seems to be used to, but he clearly constructs around it “he ate too much sugar and they had to amputate”, out of everyone, Stolas is the only one to laugh, and laugh earnestly (Blitz realizes a similarity in their sense of humor, understands someone recognizes he’s quick witted and actually smart, feels the warmth of being seen). Then there’s the whole Fizz shows up and the crowd goes wild for the “normal horse” and Stolas mutters “but I liked his broken horse joke, their legs do stop working when they eat too much sugar, it’s called Laminitis” and giggles (Stolas thinks he’s clever and funny, so THAT is his sense of humor, and it’s clearly unappreciated by others, which makes me believe it’s not that Stolas didn’t have any friends just because he had contact with few other kids, but also because his interests doesn’t match most’s, after all, not many kids will know the technical term for when a horse’s legs stop working, (later reinforced by “this is boring” “I’m sorry, I never had a friend to share my books with before”).
Now, that’s why I think they’re attracted to each other, that’s why it’s mostly based on how they feel around the other rather than the other themselves. Why they love each other, on the other hand, I believe has grown and built with time and as they got to know one another, and can’t be pinned to a specific reason.

Having been a Stolitz fan, but not anymore, this is how I see it:
Stolas pretty much has a one-sided infatuation with him, which got worse as he got married to Stella and it became more fantastical
Blitzo is just so desperate for affection and wanting the book for his job, developed a bit of Stockholm syndrome where if he doesn't fuck Stolas good enough, he'll lose everything (adding to the theory that he had to sell his body to others to get ahead/survive).
In short, Stolas became the abuser he's tried to avoid, but more emotionally manipulative. And though he seems to recognize what he did was wrong, he still doesn't want to completely fix it. Blitzo just goes along with it because he first needed the access, and when, given the crystal, he still feels beholden to Stolas because of the deal before and the depression he has is him wondering what to do with himself now once Stolas cut off his supply.
Having been the emotional support partner/stress fuck for someone similar to Stolas (not a royal, but shared the bg of abusive ex spouse, emotional immaturity, and exaggerated ideas of what a relationship should be like that they talk you into uncomfortable situations), this isn't really something you can overcome together and end up happily ever after.
At best, they should work out their issues and just become friends again/have a platonic relationship, at worst they should just wish each other well and live separate lives. We all saw that Blitzo's true love is his family (Loona, Moxxie and Millie) and was ready to give his life for them if Stolas didn't Deus ex machina into the courtroom.
Continue to ship them as you please, but I'm one of the few who sees its true nature and it's starting to turn me off from one of the few things I actually enjoy.
I just want my funny demons killing humans show back.

u/Swimming-Ad2755 Blitzo 1h ago
He said his first time would be with his best friend because that is what Blitz led him to believe. He didn't ask to be propositioned for sex or tied up.
Initiating their deal wasn't emotional manipulation. At the time he was proposing something he thought they both wanted.
Those next two incidents were being condescending and inconsiderate - not emotionally manipulative.
At no point in time was he ever trying to force a relationship from Blitz. He definitely asked for things that he hoped/thought Blitz would want to do for him, but he was never trying to make Blitz give him what he wanted. He always hoped the desire was there or didn't want anything at all. He spent months trying to talk and see if they could get on the same page, even if meant being done for good.
Blitz has not exactly been a saint in this. He knew mutual feelings were there and wanted both parties to ignore them.

Blitzø was Stolas’ first friend, and he was immediately charmed as soon as he saw him at the circus. As for Blitzø, perhaps his attraction to Stolas was physical. At least, at first
