…Is what I would have wanted Blitzø to have said to Stolas if he didn’t have the emotional intelligence of a pebble.

Anyways! Rant incoming, and this is going to be the longest description I’ll ever make on my channel. I don't have enough characters, but so help me, my rant will continue in the comments, haha.

First of all, this cover is not to somehow invalidate your love for any characters or ships. This is just one interpretation in a sea of different interpretations that might just not be suited to you. Please be respectful in the comments if you disagree haha.

I am by no means a songwriter or an experienced singer, but… I kept looking for something like this through the site, only to find AI covers. :,) I feel like there are so many things that just aren’t really being brought up yet and Stolas REALLY needs to hear them.

Essentially, the original song would have been the romanticized perspective that Stolas had on their relationship, whereas Blitzø's version would be more... realistic? Of course, it’s still from his perspective, so he doesn’t have the full story, but instead of asking for Stolas to “look his way”, Blitz does a reversal and is actually demanding he don’t look away from him, whether it be due to shame or guilt (Ya’ll remember Ozzies?), or because he literally can’t stand to look at him after the initial confrontation.

Some lyrics I wanted to point out:
Your impish plaything A call back to when Stolas LITERALLY calls him that to his face, and in front of his employees / daughter. Also, remember when he literally puts out a cigarette in his horns? (While also ignoring the fact that his body has burn marks and the implications of that action was seriously messed up? Like) And then told him in that same scene that the Grimoire was much too important for such an “ittybitty imp” to handle? ALSO, remember how in the original version of the song, Stolas even calls Blitz this exact same thing? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

I’d play along that you were my king / And I was your shining knight When they were in the amusement park, Stolas literally calls him this and is then upset that the M&Ms were the ones to rescue him. His full quote: “Where is Blitzy? He’s my knight in shining armor, not you littler ones”. You know, cause he doesn’t look down on imps.

You’re not a friend, more like a patron Yall, they were not friends when they were kids. The first and only time they interacted as children was because Stolas’ father literally bought Blitz for a day to spend time with his son, and he could because of their difference in status. From the very moment they met, their relationship was transactional; Blitz’ literal being was up for sale because it benefited his father. In the present day, nothing had changed. You want my book? Give me your body. I saved you from the humans, didn’t I? Well, I expect you to give me something in return. Why was Blitz supposed to hope, let alone expect, that the dynamic would change? And so, is he really any different from any other imp servant he employs?

I feel free from your chains There is a literal scene that shows the audience that Blitz feels like he’s chained to Stolas, and that he can be pushed and pulled in any way because he’s beneath him. He knows he doesn’t really have any power in the dynamic. Like… regardless of any serious feelings being developed further down the line, the fact that at some point that was his actual interpretation of the relationship is just… no. Of course, it’s in that same episode that Stolas then calls him his “Impish plaything”. Which, you know, probably doesn't help his view on the relationship, as well as his own selfworth.

In the end, you made me plead I absolutely hated that Stolas literally made him grovel at his feet before presenting him with the Asmodean Crystal. He says he understands that Blitz has walls to protect himself with, but why did he think that this was the way to get him to be vulnerable? Threaten his livelihood, which would put himself, his daughter and the M&M’s with no income, without an immediate explanation? So many ways that he could have done that interaction, and he chooses the absolute worst way possible.

Your praise was merely noise A callback to his rant with Fizz haha. Given all of the above, why would compliments and laughs be enough to change his mind about him?

A lovely lie Just him repeating Stolas’ own words in “Stolas’ Song”. It was all just a “comfortable lie”. Again, throwing his words back at him.
A game of pretend Much like the game of pirates they would play as children.

Time to face / your mistakes I’d like to think that he says that both metaphorically and literally. He’s telling Stolas that he needs to accept all the ways he did him wrong, but he’s also literally telling Stolas to look at him, the biggest mistake he has ever made.
