This base picture has to be a piece of fanart because of how ludicrous it is, but at the same time, I can’t say with 100% certainty that it is not a some leaked screen shot, which is very concerning. 90% certainty ain’t that bad, but still.
Is this a thing in the fanart community BTW? Making Stolas this absurdly weak and pathetic just to salvage this sorry excuse for ship and make him just a poor little princess that Blitz needs to save? The demon that can turn people to stone just by looking at them? The one that caught his wife’s hand before she could hit him without so much as flinching meaning that the threat did not illicit a fight or flight response. The demon that isn’t even in his final form apparently?
Someone please explain why this pairing is popular. I feel like I am going insane because by all metrics on the whole Power imbalance and all the consent and any other MeToo talking point everyone that would like this show wants to adhere to, this should be hated. (I know this ain’t made for anyone right of center-left, so you know the type of person that does love this, and by their metrics, this should be reviled)
What, because it’s gay it’s ignorable? Or is it like with India and the Cows, where all gay ships are sacred, thus none may be butchered? Do the people that ship it at least admit that the show and the relationship is garbage, so they retreat to their fanfics to make it ‘better’, or is this how they legit view canon? I know the answer to that last one, but still. I would love to be in their minds to understand the thought process.
I swear, part of me is hoping that Blitzo and Verosika work things out and get back together, just because the firestorm it would cause online. Could you imagine?
Side note: Thinking about it, Stolas would be one of those soy-boys that acts tough, but, the moment he encounters resistance that’s equal to or greater than his ability, he cries victim. So, very accurate depiction. 10/10
