That got us thinking that Barbie may have left the circus and had already had a damaged relationship with Blitz before the fire, and that the show is currently letting us believe her reason for hating Blitz is because of the fire as a misdirect.

And this is where I put on my theory hat.

I think the most likely possibility is that her drug abuse developed early and Blitz was the first to find out. Because of how close she and Blitz were, she confided in him and swore him to secrecy. Blitz keeps it and tries to help her out but considering Blitz would be like…a fucking teenager at this time, and he had presumably taking on a lot of responsibility already, he could only keep it under wraps for so long until he told Cash because Cash is the only one with the means to get her actual help.

Blitz would have faith that Cash would get his daughter actual help…only for Cash to let everyone down and throw Barbie onto the street because her addiction is a liability to the circus (which, what a fucking hypocrite, can I put him in the wood chipper?)

When Blitz tried to confront Cash on how terrible what he did was, Cash said to him, “Well if you wanted it done any differently, maybe you should have stepped up and helped her instead of making someone else carry your weight, like you always do!”

So like…just classic gaslighting happening over here (seriously can I PLEASE put Cash Buckzo in the wood chipper?)

And of course, this would lead Barbie to hate Blitz because in her eyes, she confided in him and he ratted her out and ruined her life.

I love this theory! I think it's extremely relatable. So many teens do this thing where they swear each other to secrecy on things no teen should have to carry, and then feel big emotions of betrayal and a break in trust if one of them goes to an adult for help. Especially if said adult then uses this to hurt the teen(s) more and drive them further apart.

I’m obsessed with the way Stolas carries Blitzø

+ shaded ver:

oh so thats what had to bump uglies w an imp to make him

EDIT: wait. if dealmakers are a greedling species. and imps a wrathian one. that leaves open the possibility that striker could have been born in greed, but raised in wrath.

the opposite of moxxie.

In Octavia’s eyes, Blitzø may be seen as a home wrecker who stole her father from her.

In contrast, Blitzø clearly respects and accepts Octavia, as we see in Blitzø's imagination, Octavia is with him, Stolas and Loona, even sharing a hug.

"You really just... Know how to send a message in the shittiest fucking way."

Definitely. 😆

Striker: So you even conned that ditzy blueblood into gettin' you to the surface?

[Blitz looks unhappy at Stolas being called ditzy, and that he's conning him].

Blitz: Well, it's long and complicated, but the short answer is yes.

(What feeling are making it complicated Blitzy?)

Blitz: But he's not like, you know [my boyfriend]-- (blushing)

Blitz: W-We're y-[ou know] We're not, like...[dating] (Blitz's looking sad about it).

Blitz: We're not doing it... (Blushing again. What you think about Blitz?)

(Millie's was so ready to call bullshit)

Blitz: We w-[e are doing it]

Blitz: What's betw- [us] (purely for more of M&M's giggling).

Blitz: It's a transactional fucking, you see.

(ah yes, just business bros being hoes. Definitely not anything else right Blitz?)

What if now that Stolas is living with Blitz, he starts noticing there are nights when Blitz cries in his sleep? What if he finds out there are nights when he even screams and calls out for his mom?

And Blitz has no idea he does this, and Stolas doesn't know how to bring it up. But Loona notices how worried Stolas looks after one of those bad nights and decides to broach the topic with him.

And she says, "yeah, it's been happening ever since I moved in with him. I thought you knew, with all the times he stayed at your place overnight."
