Stolas representing every fanfic writer out there

The new short was so sweet, I loved it. I'm so glad to see Stolas is doing well

Reddit post

Baby Via is ADORABLE. Baby Stolas is... not that.

It's funny because their designs are incredibly similar but the differences between them change how cute they are by a mile. And this was probably on purpose. Stolas's was probably ment to look funny or kinda ugly, while Via's was made for maximum cuteness.

I'm only gonna go into their designs. Not the backgrounds but needless to say the backgrounds do make a difference in how the two of them appear

Via is pink. Which is a softer color often associated with cuteness. Stolas on the other hand is an angry red. Possibly because he's upset.

Moving on to that. Baby Via is clearly happy and smiling. A positive emotion like happiness makes things seem nicer and leads to a more positive response (aww). Stolas on the other hand is upset. A negative emotion will lead to a more negative response (Ew).

Vias hands are relaxed and Via seems to be reacing out towards you. She's protrayed as friendly. Stolas's however are clenched because he's upset.

Via's eyes are mostly flat against her head while Stolas's are basically popping out of his head. While more realistic when it comes to baby birds his popping eyes are weirder. Not to mention his eyelids are dark purple. It almost looks like he has two black eyes. Via's are also purple but they're a much softer color. Via also is lacking the markings on her eyes, Stolas isn't and on first glance you might think they were actually open. Bet you can't unsee that now huh?

Speaking of lacking. Via also lacks the extra eyes. But Stolas isn't, his top eyes also look kinda like angry eyebrows which really I'm sure you'll never unsee. Stolas just looks funny with those things there.

Time for Stolas to offer to help Blitz practice😆

I think this night in All 2 U, when Blitz stays, is the night Blitz takes this photo.

Stolas has a habit of misread Blitz's expressions. (Little autistic bean he is).

And because of it being in All 2 U; it looks like Stolas assumed Blitz was annoyed with him.

But probably nothing to do with Stolas, because otherwise Blitz probably would have just left.

And this lovely person pointed out something I missed.

That Blitz is sending long texts to someone, and not a getting any reply.

Their theory is Blitz was trying to text Barbie. And that could really make sense why he's looks so unhappy.

I love how far Blitz has come with understanding Stolas. And how much Stolas trusts Blitz.

Because Stolas' autistic butt uses Blitz's example in new social situations a road map on how to act.

It's the source of their miscommunication in Ozzie's.

From Stolas point of view he was just taught hidding behind the menu, and meting eachothers eyes over it, is what you do when the club host is making you feel uncomfortable.

(You can even see Stolas was trying to met Blitz's eyes with his upper set from his memory).

And now Blitz uses this to help Stolas adjust normal life. (I love them being partners in crime).

And it's been really helping him fit-in in IMP.

Stolas is madly in love with Blitz.

And Blitz is one of the two people Stolas would give his life for.

(He tried to give his life up just for a chance to see his daughter, so don't start 😛).

But from Stolas' perspective Blitz has told him very clearly that:

Blitz doesn't do relationships,

doesn't do romantic feelings,

that all they ever had was purely sexual.

Actually directly Obsessing over your unattainable ex situationship, roommate, and boss; and using that as wank foder would be a bit creepy and dumb for him to do.

So Stolas compartmentalizing off his hopes and wants off to writing them as fanfic.

That's a pretty healthy way of dealing with his love and lust, for a guy he thinks he can't have, but still has to act normal around. (Altext for transcribed dairy)

He's not writing fix-it's of his own life. Where he'd rewrite the past, and they both say and do only the right thing; to be that perfect romcom love story.

Because from Stolas' perspective that would mean rewriting Blitz's personality to love him.

Changing who the man is on a fundamental level.

Rewriting Blitz this way would be much more intrusive.

So instead Stolas casts Blitz into a role that both something both closer, and further away; from the real him.

He's still the man that liberates the prince sexually, who has a love of horses, and a cocky attitude and his the devil may care smile.

Who dips him like Blitz does.

And kisses him like Blitz does.

Who gives the prince of his story the same butterflies Stolas felt about seeing Blitz in When I See Him.

Just like how Stolas' previous story drawing was inspired by Blitz being his hero, being a good caring father to their daughters.

As well as the writing being inspired first time together.

But Baron isn't really just Blitz.

He's a stock bodice ripper love interest, with a stupid name, in a very classiest troopy smuty self insert fic; there's a lot of mental distance from reality.

Giving Stolas the breathing space to work the some of his feelings. Process he's emotions and his love for Blitz; with a little bit of distance to get his head together.

Even some of the social positioning he's lost, and start to vaguely understand his PTSD. (Even if both of those are at the baby steps stage).

I do kinda wonder if Blitz has been reading these stories along with us.

Using them as a way to check in on how Stolas has been doing, and because he wants to be closer to him.

(Blitz tends to boundary stomp with people he cares about without meaning to. And he's never really being malicious).

Blitz seems very personally annoyed that homophobic Karen lies, and claims Stolas stories about them, based on their sex life; didn't get her wet at all.

I guarantee this man has a pavlovian response to any of Stolas' insane horny ramblings. If anyone one is going find Stolas using breath for the 100 time to describe their first kiss hot, it's gonna be Blitz.

Blitz also is extremely quick to hid the diary behind his back as soon as Via comes in. Like sure hidding her dad's smut makes sense, but it feels a bit more than just that.

I also like that we see Blitz turning Stolas into a OC fantasy version of himself too.

Both before and after he was sure of how Stolas feels about him.

Feels like making a horsesona of Stolas probably was a way for Blitz to deal with all the emotions he didn't think he was aloud to have with Stolas, during what assumed could only be a physical affair.
