This emotional arc of Blitzø realizing that there ARE people who care about and love him for who he is has been so great.

[MALØR.]

Can we still appreciate how Millie was so patient and sweet and badass she was in this episode because Blitzø REALLY needed this kind of closure and reassurance.

I do love how Blitz is so desperate for a sense of control at all times, that he makes everything around him spiral out of control

It’s perfect in how fucked up it is

[J-jeyc]

"They've turned him into his father."
I love how even in hell, that is the WORST thing that could ever happen to an individual

15:30 - I think the reason Fizz seems to be this exception is because of the previously established dynamic they had.

I.M.P. is employer to employee, inherent power dynamic.
Stolas’s deal made him a power dynamic.
Verosika could be considered a power dynamic-ish in that Blitzø was her bodyguard before dating I think.

Fizz was considered a coworker, someone on the same level as Blitzø in title. Fizz was naturally better than Blitzø at their shared craft, sure, but as kids they were chill with each other anyway. They had shared goals like stealing his dad’s beer together and being entertainers.
Fizz was never in charge of Blitzø. Blitzø was never in charge of or responsible for Fizz. I think that’s ultimately what the exception is.

4:58 Thanks for making me realize that the workplace comedy aspect of this show is one long drawn out “were not coworkers were family” joke.

Love isn’t a transaction is so true but the cold hearted truth is as people tend to look at it that way

[Moonlight.Howlings.]

Honestly, this episode really builds up Millie's backstory and her character to much higher pay than ever before! It’s great to see! As for Blitzø, he's becoming to terms with what happened and wants to become better in the future. I hope to see more development in the future.

A thing that isnt really talked about is how the whole "I'm not only in it for the sex" thing for Stolas was kinda retconned since, in the start of the series he "Was only in it for the sex".
Blitzø was just going along with it and now he's the one being punished for it.

[rainbowtoyfunrandomess]

My theory is that the reason Blitz is having a hard time finding someone to love is because the lack of love from his father and Barbie Wire is now just ghosting him. The only person in Blitz's family that truly cares for him is Tilla, but she's gone because of the accident. All Blitz wanted was a family who would always be there for him and possibly have a decent relationship with someone. At least Millie understands of what he's going through and cares about him, she's like a sister figure to Blitz.💕💕💕💕

[bananabolt]

I really like this character development they're giving Blitzø.

[_Noah_ManhwaEdits]

Poor Blitz😭 I feel so bad for him. Maybe if his mother was still alive, his life wouldn’t have been so shitty. Praying that he will get better ❤

[andreamartinezz]

Maybe IMP is the family and friends we made on the way

-Blitzø, probably

[milkflavored]

It's so hard to watch this video knowing you hit the nail on the head, when Blitz is the first fictional character I have ever related to on a spiritual level. Its both encouraging and depressing af

[josiahtheawkward]

16:44 That cut was from Blitzø and Moxxie to younger Blitzo and Cash was super effective

[shadowwriter]

When it comes to Verosika and Blitz, I wouldn't be surprised if they were also a transactional relationship too; however, I'm of the belief that their transactional relationship wasn't just because of how Blitz's views on love but what Verosika views as love too, her's being just as messed up as his. If I'm remembering correctly, it was implied that Blitz wasn't just her ex boyfriend/they dated but also that he was her bodyguard; she said when she introduced Vortex that "Unlike you, he does his job well" and that job might have been bodyguarding. If that's the case then Verosika is doing what Blitz is sort of doing with IMP but it got physical instead of familial. However, unlike Blitz, Verosika probably espected her transaction to work because she always gets what she wants while Blitz does believe that you can lose anything at anytime; if you want to take it a step further, Verosika has probably never been rejected before (regardless of how bad it was). Regardless of how you feel about Apology Tour, you can't deny that her throwing an anti Blitzo party for a couple of years is stupid for an ex, especially if he was her only ex or if she had more you'd think they'd be a topic of discussion; she says she's helping people that were harmed by Blitz but that's very debatable if not unrealistic since she's not exactly a therapist and we don't even know most of the people there and if most are lying. Ultimatley, Blitz's flawed view on love with Verosika was clashing against a potential flaw on how she views love and it was doomed regardless of what Blitz did or did not do, cause I can't imagine if Blitz breaking up with her civilly would not lead to her throwing this party anyway.

Your one of my comfort channels, thanks for posting today

[cussundriakneal]

I always thought Blitz was just like his Dad. But I could never put my finger on HOW he was like Cash-- but I just felt he WAS.

And of course, you explain every instance I was subconciously reminded of Cash. Thank you!

Seeing this video makes me realize that every member of IMP. Is it just a physical representation of blitz's character. From moxie.
Literally being him wanting to be loved and appreciated. Buy the people around him. To Luna being of him as a child, a want to not be a lone (this one might be a bit of a stretch). Too mil being him when he is not being self hating And at his most confident to a point that she is kinda like a mother figure to him. Always encouraging him and caring for him in his slumps. Or its all me looking to deep into it again
