Ok So I Know Everyone Is Talking About The Animation That Just Got Posted, Now That Your Gone Stolas

Ok so I know everyone is talking about the animation that just got posted, now that your gone stolas one.

Tw: Metions of gore, s*icide, and self harm. Please if you’re struggling don’t be afraid to reach out to those who you trust.

And I wanna share my thoughts even tho nobody asked lmao.

Im gonna say this before continuing:

Do I think that helluva boss should have dark topics like this? Yes, should it be done like in the video? No not really.

As someone who does like stolas, I think He has a lot of flaws, bad father, hypocrite, etc. you don’t have to be on my side about this, this post isn’t made to change everyone’s mind. I wanna share my thoughts as someone who loves helluva and wants to see it be written better. It would have been nice to see a more darker side with the story, how depending on someone so hard can destroy not only those around you but you as well.

Do I believe stolas loved blitz? Yes of course, thats why Im explaining all of this. Stolas wanted Blitz to stay with him without a second thought, but when he didn’t say yes right away it broke him. Because he wants to feel the person who he views as amazing as someone who loves him deeply. We know that stolas has depression as well, we’ve been shown this. Like I said, I don’t think showing him killing himself is the only way. But we should have seen how bad his depression can be, weather it’s self destructive, isolating himself, or even ignoring what happen and forcing himself to work more. Helluva wants to be an adult show, there are so Good elements in it.

For example, ghost fuckers. My personal favorite episode because we got to explore Blitz depression with what happen, how much he thinks he ruins those around him, how much he wanted to care about stolas. Even showing how he views everyone around him. Sure there was some gore but not a lot. They could have done that with stolas, we’ve seen him use the stars to explore how he feels, we could have seen how he views himself, how he views his loved ones. How much it broke him when blitz didn’t answer him. His thought process, hell even if he’s scared to be like his father.

Helluva should be able to write scenes that make people uncomfortable and sick. Because they shown they can do something like that with ghost fuckers. My best example of shows making uncomfortable writing without gore is bojack. It’s able to explore mental illness and how it affects people so heavily. Making things uncomfortable because mental health IS uncomfortable sometimes.

Anyways, sorry if this makes no sense, I’ve just been wanting to yap about this topic so yeah :D remember that you’re not alone, please reach out if you need help
