This animation is spectacular and I adore every second of it. This is the true mask-off moment the show was too cowardly to give him and it is my canon end to the series at this point.
The song used for the animation is "Now That You're Gone" by The Raconteurs is very obvious about its meaning that the animation has taken full advantage of. It begins with the image of Stolas asking an absent Blitz what he'll do "now that [he's] alone" and the image cuts to a closeup of Blitz struggling through a white landscape littered with those golden feathers from Truth Seekers.
It's clear that Stolas is getting a petty revenge from breaking Blitz's pride. But the framing of the song makes it very clear what direction the narrative is going. Stolas goes back to his normal life (presumably the video was being made before Mastermind) where he takes back the book and gets back with Stella. Clips of him enjoying his high roller life of luxury. The line that best emphasizes what Stolas is actually trying to do is in the line:
"Who is going to love you if it isn't me?"
Which goes back to my point about abuse in relationships and how that very much is the ground floor of control. Where they isolate their victims from others in order to warp their perception of reality. If you rewrite their world where no one else will ever love them, that will be true. If you can alienate someone from what a healthy and loving relationship looks like, just then saying "I love you" is the proof of their love. It allows the opportunity for the victim to justify the abuse for the abuser to make it make sense that their abuser must love them.
And my favorite part is how, on beat, the animation cuts to Blitz being comforted by Moxie and Millie where Moxie flicks away the golden feather on top of their three entwined tails. A short but powerful bit of storytelling that lingers just long enough, unlike the show that tends to rush every single frame. The feather landed on top, just like how Stolas inserts himself in their lives, and Moxie is rejecting it so as to protect his friend.
And then the music cuts as Stolas changes the lyrics from "What will you do now that I'm gone" to "What will I do now that you're gone".
Which recontextualizes the delivery of the song and connect the early tells to a more overt understanding. Stolas stares into the camera and becomes progressively more unhinged as he realizes he did lose.
The entire point of someone saying "You won't find anyone better than me" isn't a farewell for better things. It's expressly to reel a victim back in, and it lines up perfectly to Stolas' unwillingness to talk to Blitz or have any conversation where he acknowledges his own issues, especially in Apology Tour.
I know some will say Stolas shit talking about the Blitz Hate Party is a sign that he knows he is pathetic, but he doesn't talk to Blitz about that in a way that lumps himself in with the rest of it. He talks about "All these people" without ever acknowledging specifically that he is an active and enthusiastic participant in this pity party. Even ending the episode for Stolas with him begging to have literally anyone love HIM, even as he is at this party, partaking from the table, over how much he felt entitled to Blitz.
This animation fits perfectly in with the events and logic of the show and Stolas in the canon.
Honestly the ending of this animation is the only self-actualization I support for Stolas and Blitz in the canon series. This is my finale, anything after this is a zombie fic that refuses to just stay dead.

-------couple information--------
Character: Frieza (Dragon Ball)
Oc: Karik (or Karikan Marilyn)
(I would call them Godalien, or something like that)
This is my second most favorite char/oc beside CxH, so I'm about to yap about them :>>
The one you see on the right is Karik. He is a god, literally a god. If you're wondering why is he in that form of SS4 then you're right, he is a saiyan, actually the first and the most ancient saiyan (He didn't know he created a race though, not until he visited Beerus at the seventh universe). I was convinced that SS4 was the form of ancient saiyans.
He is a close friend to Lord Zeno, like his brother or something. Yes, I did say brother. This one is 9 million-year olds, guys, literally the oldest I could think of (And also because I searched Zeno age and it popped up, hehe). He was there when the multiverse was created, just didn't remember a shit since he's old.
He was feared, and maybe respected (just maybe) by the other gods, not as much as Zeno though since Karik is much easier to read, and he doesn't destroy planets out of fun. His work is to protect and keep the multiverse in control, the balance, yes. If Zeno is powerful in the way he could manipulate the multiverse existence then Karik is physically powerful. See those rings around his neck and arms, they were to keep his power in control and not accidentally destroy any universe.
With that power, it's understandable that people rarely try to get on his nerve. Yet, when he first met Frieza, the little emperor didn't know Karik was a god. That was one of the rare times in his 9 millions-long life did Karik be treated like a lowly being (You know Frieza's snake tongue). He was intrigued.
Karik fell first. Frieza is...well, he is not the kind of...you know. It was one-sided all the time, but look at that fod face. Does he look like he care?
------
So that's the start :>>
I love this cp so much. From the size (1m58 x 1m92) to the chemistry and all the stuffs they have (Their relationship is sensual as fvk, like they fvk all the time, whenever Karik is bored and you know the stamina of the strongest god)

maybe tooooo confident in the face of certain threats
has to use dumb rhymes to do magic sometimes
favourite episode/etc
Price of Deceit!!! we got DADDY ISSUES we got ANGSTY FLASHBACKS we got NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE VIA ELDRITCH ABOMINATION it truly has it all
and for the etc, the comic where she gets despondos poisoning and her dad and skeletor have to save her because . see above. daddy issues and angst we love to see it.
otp: lyn/keldor
brotp: aaah probably her and clawful!! i like how she goes a little easier on him sometimes and helped him decode messages from his cousin because he couldn't understand the language
ot3: can't think of anything
notp: i don't think there's much? like apart from a few uncomfortable ones i don't think anyone even ships, and maybe some things i'd like in other iterations more than this one, i could be convinced of most things
best quote:
there are so many but what comes to mind rn is after he-man saved her and he was like "this could be your second chance :)" and she just...
Maybe I could change my ways... Live a life of virtue and light, fight evil, protect the innocent! [Blasts He-man as soon as he starts to believe her.] Think I'll pass.
head canon: i think her running in with the evil warriors and keldor when she was younger was extremely calculated lmao. like she'd already heard of keldor and probably realized he would be a ticket to power. so i'm guessing she was spying on them for WEEKS at minimum--studying their abilities and how to exploit their weaknesses, what they were after, where they were headed, etc. then decided to teleport over and swipe the orb and wait for them to catch up so she could beat the shit out of everyone and impress that hot half-gar conqueror.
she still sleeps the same way
Forgot to add, but Stolas basically guilt tripped him into doing it.
"The one who wants me is my first ever friend..."
Blitz was perfectly willing to just leave Stolas there tied up, but instead gave him pity sex.
Yeah sure...Blitz was the one to make it all about sex. No Stolas....no....that was ALL YOU! The only thing Blitz did was do a little bit of flirting and steal the book, he didn't make it about sex. From beginning to end, that was all you.
People like to defend this kind of shit with "Oh it's intentional because it's meant to show Stolas lacking self-awarness!", which is very funny because 1. You are actively acknoweledging that Stolas' perspective here is invalid and Blitz's is which goes against the whole idea that both sides are suppoused to be in the wrong and 2. The show is not calling this shit out and every time Stolas says something like this (The final scene in Full Moon and the begining of Apology Tour) it's never called out nor is it ever frammed as that, and in Apology Tour specifically it is very obvious that we are specifically suppoused to take Stolas' side here and see Blitz as purely in the wrong.
I also do need to acknowledge that there are people who think that Blitz's feelings are portayed as valid by the narrative. They are not. The final scene in Full Moon and the begining of Apology Tour have Blitz rant about Stolas being a prince and considering that Oops established that this is a bias Blitz has towards Stolas it is very clear that these scenes are intended to be read as Blitz being blinded by his biases against Stolas due to Stolas being a prince, and he's too consumed in his biases to see that Stolas has real feelings for him. That is how these scenes are being frammed and clearly how they are suppoused to be read.
So no, the show doesn't see Blitz's perspective as valid. There is that rant in the begining of AT where Blitzo awkardly spells out his self-hatred keeping him from believing that a prince could possibily love him but the rest of the episode frames Stolas as someone hurt by Blitzo's actions and Blitzo as an asshole who hurts others. So his self-loathing isn't really something that the episode really wants you to sympathize with, only as another reason for why Blitz struggles to see that Stolas loves him.
Blitzo isn't a character that the show wants you sympathize with in this situation; the point of the episode is Blitz realizing that he isn't a good person and he needs to change. That's not a set up for a sympathetic character.
The show is directly outlining people information like this yet people still make bullshit excuses for Viv's writting based on some tweets. Blitz's perspective is never treated as valid by the narrative at all, sure, it acknowledges that Stolas was wrong for making this deal in the first place, but that gets rendered moot because that's not the reason for why Blitz hates Stolas; Blitz hates Stolas because of a bias he had against royals that completely came out of nowhere in season 2 solely so the show could make him purely look like an asshole consumed by his biases.
The narrative doesn't see Stolas SAing Blitz as the reason he hates Stolas, rather it sees Blitz's bias being a reason for that. It doesn't actually look at Blitz's perspective and how Stolas' actions may have affected him, hell it shows that it doesn't even affect him at all!
It's another instance of the show demonizing the people who Stolas has hurt so it could make them look unreasonable and further woobify Stolas. It's made even worse with the implication in Apology Tour of Blitz gaining feelings for Stolas and since Blitz really wanted to fuck Stolas it's not unreasonable to assume that the show may go in the route of "Blitz liked being SA'd by Stolas but he was just too comsumed by his biases to realize it!" because then you are fully painting Blitz as an biased asshole and any argument that the show understands his perspective gets thrown out the window.
Stolas' feelings are treated as valid by the narrative, how hurt he feels that Blitzy doesn't love him, that Blitzy doesn't see that Stolas loves him back, that Blitzy is "making him uncomfortable". Meanwhile, the narrative purely treats Blitz's feelings about Stolas as completely invalid, not using Stolas SAing him as an reason for Blitz hating him but rather him being too comsumed by his own biases.
There's a strong inbalance here that makes the argument that the show wants us to see them both as in the wrong completely fall apart. Blitzo is treated as the problem by the narrative and the fandom, that he's hurting poor Stolas' feelings with how he's treating the bird boy. And here's the thing; Blitzo having this bias came out of nowhere. There as no hint of this in season 1 or the first five episodes of season 2, it was only until Oops where this thing came up. This was never shown to be a character trait Blitz had nor is there even any reason for it, why Blitz has these preconcieved notions about Stolas going in. It's because the writters pulled this out of their ass so they could have an easy way to make Blitzo look like a complete asshole. Nothing more.
It's further accentuated by the show using "tell don't show" in that scene, where we are told that Stolas did all these nice things for Blitz rather than shown, and not to mention these nice things do not line up with Stolas' behavior at all in season 1. It's all just completely and utterly lazy. It's a lazy way to make Blitz in the wrong here. It's a lazy way to absolve Stolas of his behavior again so the narrative could coddle him.
It's a lazy way for the show to pretend this relationship has naunce when it doesn't. Oh, and fans have the fucking gall to say "you don't understand the nuances" when people critisize this shit. Oh, I'm sorry, what naunces? This relationship isn't nuanced in the slightest; it's a victim and abuser relationship where the victim is strawmanned and portayed as wrong and the abuser is coddled and woobifyed. Whether it was intentional or not, that is how the relationship comes across as.
The show needs to see that BOTH perspectives are valid for the "their both in the wrong" thing to even work, but it doesn't. Blitz never gets any slack and Stolas is babyed. That is how this relationship is frammed. You can not ever convince me otherwise.
