Sinsmas - Blog Posts
I think a bunch of us have already posted/fawned over how smooth/nice Stolas' laugh was in this moment (jfc Bryce Pinkham your VA work never misses). And how significant it is that Blitzø can get a laugh out of him even when he's having literally one of the worst days of his life and feeling serious grief.
But I've been mulling over how good that laugh must've felt to Blitzø.
IIRC, he hasn't made Stolas laugh since Seeing Stars. It's been at least 4-5 months, probably more like 6+.
And of course we know that, when Blitzø was in denial about Stolas' feelings, one of the things that hurt the most was the thought that Stolas laughing at his jokes was fake. We know he has lifelong insecurities about how his humor is perceived, stemming from Fizz always being more liked and charismatic.
This is the first time Blitzø has made Stolas laugh, not since the not-a-breakup, but since very, very soon after Ozzie's.
It's the first time he's made Stolas laugh knowing it was real and letting himself feel that it was real.
Even if Stolas is feeling like shit and the happiness is just for a moment, it's there and it's genuine. The real, walls-down Blitzø is who he's connecting with. Blitzø knows he can and does make Stolas happier just by being himself.
And oh lordy does it make him so relieved and happy, too.
Look at that face. Man down! He's smitten all over again. His heart's going to vacate his chest and ascend straight out of Hell.
There's been discussion on how/why Blitzø fell for Stolas, and here we're seeing evidence. He fell for the tall, pretty bird who has a really nice laugh, who exchanges banter easily with him, who goes along with his offbeat ideas like dancing on the balcony, who understands that being compared to a tall-tall horse is a compliment... the one who thinks he's funny even when no one else in Hell does. Blitzø would fight 1,000 Andrealphuses and all of Hell for that laugh.
Worries unfounded, Stolas IS stronger than “Mastermind” led me to believe. I am SO freakin relieved right now!
Now I just need Stolas to not backpedal in season 3.
sinsmas yaps
okay so I was busy all throughout last night and I never saw viv's tweet, so imagine my surprise today when this cinematic masterpiece showed up in my yt notifications!!
overall such a great episode and it leaves me SO. FUCKING. EXCITED for season 3, but more (MUCH more) thoughts below the cut (I tried to make it in order this time ;v;)
first of all, I'm LOVING the domestic Stolitz SO MUCH and soft moments like this is exactly what they need after being in such a hypersexual relationship imho
I didn't even think about how weird eating eggs would be for an owl. Or that stolas eats rats
Stella and Andre are being assholes, what else is new.
It's interesting how they treat Octavia like a child, talking about her as if she weren't in the room with them
The whole scene of them shopping was so cooool
I really like the interesting take on Christmas, also shoutout to blitz flipping the couch over lol
M&M lovingly beating each other up🤌
More goofy moxxie screenshots to add to my collection!!
Stolas has finally fulfilled the prophecy and become IMP's secretary!
Via has such a pretty singing voice, and I love the parallels of her song to "You'll Be Ok" from s1e2
Love how stolas has a fucking mental breakdown in front of the customer
Stolas writing a spicy novel? If we don't get that published into a book it will be such a huge missed oppertunity
Millie being frustrated and wanting to kill the family was especially interesting after getting more background on her after ghostfuckers. After finding out that she's pregnant at the end of the episode, it would make sense if she wanted to kill them because it reminded her of that and she was scared. But it could also connect to her "I'm the muscle and nothing else" insecurity that we saw from ghostfuckers. Even if she's come to peace with that, it's bound to come back on a day all about celebrating your origins.
Laughed my ass off when stolas punched Andre. He def learned that from moxxie and millie
The fight scene was absolute perfection. You can tell the animators said "fuck the budget!"
THE STOLITZ KISS SCENE OMFG
The fact that via saved stolas' life, but still hasn't forgiven him is actually so sad
Yayyy loona has friends to talk to! (I actually didn't think she had any friends other than tex but I'm so happy for her)
Loving all the sinsmas outfits, very bootiful
Millie is fuckin PREGNANT??
That whole scene on the balcony killed me
A little detail I loved was that blitz was actually able to make stolas laugh, even though they are both in such dark places. And I think that's how they are gonna get through it in the end
ill probably post more unpacking this stuff but this is just everything important I noticed. Anyway good job to Viv for another heart wrenching episode!
MY LIFE FOR THESE TWO
This episode hit a little too close to home
ok wait i need to ask
are you one of those people that's like "oh yeah sinsmas was really good! big emotional roller coaster!"
OR
are you the: "AHAJSBDBFVEKENDVD SINSMAS OMFG STOLITZ IS CANON AND MILLIES SURPRISE AND THEJRHHF-" *foams at the mouth cutely*
like this is fr a genuine question because i am curious to see if i am either having the same reaction as everyone else or am i just mentally unstable and losing my mind
Helluva boss ep 12 came out TODAY!?!?!?
Why did NO ONE tell me!?!,!?!?
Things I would like to or think will happen in Helluva Boss season 3
I would like to know why blitz decided to stop saying the o in his name and the reason he likes horses so much
I NEED the Octavia arc realizing how manipulative her mom is and letting her dad back in her life (maybe with the help of Loona or being stuck with blitz realizing he isn't trying to push her out of her dad's life)
The pregnancy arc is going to be good 1. We get more Millie and 2. We will also get some more Moxxie development as well. They are both such interesting characters who we got arcs of them by themselves but one of them together will be amazing (and maybe with Millie talking to Sallie May at the end we will get more of her)
I think that Verosika and Fizz's development is mostly done but still would love to see more of them
In mastermind we kind of got to see how the sins are taking fizzmodeus and Bee and Tex's relationships but I would like to see more of that
The stolitz arc is pretty much done like all their is left is to say I love you but Stolas needs to go through his emotions with being banished and not seeing Via and all
Loona also seems to be a character who hasn't had many arcs so far maybe she will get one later is S3 but I am not sure
I would like to know more about Barbie since Blitz mentioned her to stolas at the end of the season but I also don't see that happening
Watching Sinsmas and finishing Sword AF S2 in one day is crazy. I have felt so many emotions and have almost cried 7 times before noon. And now I am choosing to watch supernatural, like that isn't an emotional nightmare
It’s rather late to reblog this, but this fucked with me so much because I saw this prior to watching the episode and had my heart broken as a result. Thanks meanie.
What a great way to end a season. Nothing bad happened, no surprises, or anything that was a gut punch. You know, just wholesomeness 🥲
I'm sending Vivian medrano my therapy bill
The way Blitz looked at Stolas while they danced struck me so hard like he’s so obsessed with sex and turning things into crude comments yet he had nothing but care and concern in his look while they danced on that balcony ?????? End me
Thanks, I didn't need my heart anyway
In Queen Bee we learned about Blitz's Biggest Fear...
And in Sinsmas we learned about Blitz's Dream...
It may have taken some time, but Blitz's biggest fear didn't come true in Mastermind. Even if Blitz died that day, on that chopping block, he would have died smiling knowing that he told his found family he loved them, and that his found family (and at least Millie) were there to see his final moments.
Y'all know what this means chat?
Blitz is going to fight tooth and nail to make this dream come true. The dream that he and Stolas could be healthy and happy enough to settle down with their girls and be an actual family.
