can you imagine a helluva boss role swap AU where blitz and stolas have the roles of fizz and asmodeus?
Not really because of how both couples work in the story.
They're foils for each other relationship wise. They wouldn't work well the other way around.
Stolitz is very new, so they're still working a lot of things out.
And because it was very public from the get go, they are both now pretty aware of the social gap their trying to bridge. And the consequences that doing so has.
Where as Fizzmodeous is an old relationship, where alot of things are more settled and comfortable. But with the caveat that they spent almost the entire relationship in the closet. So they haven't had the big tough questions that being out prompts. (Like does family or people we know approve).
There's also the angle that Stolitz started as something unhealthy, being tit for tat sex work that they both enjoyed.
With Blitz trying to pretend he's not getting attached, and Stolas trying to tell the whole of hell he wants Blitz as his man. And is becoming a healthy thing.
(Heh Ozzie's making little flaming love hearts 💕 gets me every time).
Where as Fizzmodeous appear to have started pretty healthy; but now be slipping into unhealthy patterns, by ignoring all the social divisions they have and power imbalance that leads to. (Including Ozzie has been recently restricting Fizz's autonomy. Overstepping as his carer).
With Fizz able to show he love Ozzie in private, but had to deal with Ozzie denying it on a nearly daily basis in public.
Even after his kidnapping, and escape from someone blackmailing them over keeping their relationship secret; Fizz feels like he can't just except affection publicly. He's got to take time to remind Ozzie that people can see them.
(This has changed now, but they still haven't had the conversations they need from it).
As well as the couples being relationship foils for eachother, they are also mirrors of each other's characters. But not like you might think.
Blitz is much more like the extremely energetic Sin, with his passion for his work.
And Stolas is much more similar character wise to Fizz. Both have been controlled by their abuser during the timeline of the show, and it's still shown as an ongoing threat to both of them.
People were kinda pointing out after MMMM that Ozzie stood up for his relationship with Fizz. Where as Stolas didn't.
He instead hid behind a menu. When Ozzie mocked his relationship with Blitz, as being only physically; and for it hurting Stolas' kid.
And yer, they are both the Goetias with the power here in these relationships. But they aren't one to one parallels you can swap.
Even when Stolas' at point of risking everything the man he love, it doesn't parallel Ozzie's coming on at the concert. Because Stolas is put on an act of being the Mastermind*; using a sham relationship to trap Blitz. (*mwhahaha™)
Not anywhere near the truth of what either of them feels.
So the scenes don't match.
Both Blitz and Stolas also just have more to loss than Fizzmodeous, by being dad's.
The queefs are sweet, but Fizz and Ozzie are much more isolated, not appearing to have really close friends.
It probably made keeping their relationship on the downlow easier, but it also limits any possible blow back to just them. Ozzie's too powerful to lose everything for their relationship, like Stolas did.
I do love Ozzie attitude off 'I wish a mother-fucker would'; but he's a'n't the disabled person of colour in this.
It'll all be on Fizz when shit goes sideways.
The interview with James; shows Ozzie doesn't understand that nobody going to say or do shit to him. It's not going be him dealing with those consequences. He is a 100 feet tall. Fizz is not, and Ozzie won't always be around 24/7.
(😔 though it a really common thing, for the more buch person to think they can always protect their weaker partner. And pick fight because of it).
So to really put Fizzmodeous in the same dumbass position that got Stolitz started; they'd both need family to loss;
And for Mammon to be a threat that Ozzie couldn't counteract, and protect against day to day.
Which realistically would swap Ozzie for Blitz, because others while Mammon would just get told to feck right off early.
And at that point you're not really writing Fizzmodeous any more, you're writing Stolitz with swapped names.
