Stolas’s character development is amazing, he went from horny comic relief to one of the most tragic and beautiful characters in the show

That's a mood, Gabriella

This is what happens when a genius song writer meets a talented animator

The way Bryce sings "Let me hold you, keep you close to me, I long to hear your voice" absolutely melts my heart and it's by far my favorite moment in the song

Y’all, don’t forget that this was originally a FANMADE song that Viv decided to make canon. Can we talk about how someone managed to capture such raw emotion through the music only?

I'm crying, this is spectacular.

Love how this song is just saying Stolas doesn't need Blitz to love him back, but to acknowledge his feelings and talk to him rather than leave without words

2:33 I love this scene, especially the detail of the string, my theory is its based off a Chinese proverb: "an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet regardless of time, place or circumstance"

The fact that Stolas doesn't even say "Love me back" or "You owe me this" but only "At least acknowledge my feelings for you" is the essence of unrequired Love. The Silence in the end after the light litteraly leaves his Eyes ...hurts

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING I LOVE IT

Reminder to everyone that Stolas thought he wasn't getting the crystal and wasn't made aware of it getting delivered. This thing just showed up randomly, he INSTANTLY comes up with this banger of a song. That's the lore now and I'm glad for it.

I think what hurts so much is how real this kind of one-sided relationship is to people. A lot of people live this kind of life where there is somebody they care deeply for that refuse for whatever reason to give them the time of day.

Now all we need is a song from Blitzøs view called Look Away because he thinks he's unlovable

The fact that viv changed "my little impish little plaything we both made our choice" to "dearest i know better now i must give you this choice" is beautiful

"What's left for me and my broken heart if I can't have you?" This line hits too close to home

It is expected An oath by blood to hold the tome And the starlight passes overhead Fuels all the skills I've honed I am a guardian A watcher of these ancient rites Yet I find myself drawn from that path On those dazzling moonlit nights Let me hold you Keep you close to me I long to hear your voice But dearest I know better now I must give you this choice I can give you everything you need Or do you want to hear me plead? Just look my way Just look my way Is there something more that I don't know That you won't say till we've both grown cold? Just say Please stay Look my way This unspoken contract A deed we forged for mutual gain If that's all this was when you're not here What is this rooted pain? I don't care that you're of lower station Or primed to sate my dark temptations Why can't you understand? Let me explain And I'm terrified As I cry To make this feelings true What's left for me and my broken heart If I cannot have you? Unless it's me? And no matter what in this world I could give Its not enough To get through the walls you've conjured up to live Is this what you feel? Scorned by a realm that cannot comprehend What you are So I'll grant you this mercy, this bind on our souls need to end I will try to make amends For making you means to an end So, look my way Please, look my way And if there's something more that I don't know? I'll save us both before we grow cold If you stay And just say Look my way

A cool detail is how the moon, representing Blitz, went from being something small, manageable, and close, to becoming progressively getting larger, further away, and untouchable.

Stolas doesn't just want Blitzo anymore, he wants him to be happy. But here, he understands what sacrifices might need to happen for that to come to pass. He hates what might need to happen, but he's willing to face it to help the one he loves. This episode is going to break me, and I'm sure many others as well. What a song.

I'm not exaggerating... i watch this video every day. It's part of my routine by now

I have never felt so moved and pained from a song ever. The animation, the desperation in Bryce's voice, it's gut-wrenchingly beautiful. Vivziepop literally never misses. This continually makes me more excited and terrified for Full Moon.

I love how Stolas's eyes are usually empty red voids, but when he shows intense emotion, like when he stood up to Stella, or here at the end as he's consumed by grief, he gains little pupils, it really helps you connect with him more and makes the moment more impactful

“But dearest, I know better now I must give you this choice.” This line hits so hard

"how many times have you listened to this" Me: JUST LOOK MYY WAAAYAYYAAYAYYAYA

Blitzø NEEDS to realise that Stolas actually loves him, because it’s so sad, I think they would be perfect together.

Love how Stolas' tears turn into shooting stars, like how he told Octavia that they are actually Azathoth's tears, which are the things that never were weeping at their nonexistence. Perfectly reflects how BlitzØ and Stolas' relationship never was.

"Yeah so sometimes the boss just starts singing, you get used to it."

I'm here after the trailer 😭 of Helluva Boss season 2. 💔 "Thank you, Blitz, for making me so happy, even if only for a little while." 😭 Please don't break up!

This version needs to be on Spotify

This is a masterpiece it really embodies Stolas wanting to be with Blitzo and not knowing if he feels the same or if he’s the issues and even relating to Stella and how she must feel 10/10

Bryce's voice is simply incredible, he totally conveys the pain that the character is feeling, that's really admirable. The totally fluid animation is worthy of a lot of applause to the animators!! the melody, instrumental of the song is very exciting. I cried listening to this. Thank you for making the song canon!! Looking forward to getting much more emotional watching the episode!!! 🌙✨️

How has nobody mentioned that when the string rips in half, it turns into hands reaching to each other 😭😭

Stolas is my favorite character on this show, they are all amazing but I feel for him. Plus that voice is pure honey.

When this show first came out I thought "oh haha, gay horny owl. Its funny" But by the end of the first season I am genuinely invested and want them to be happy! This free cartoon on youtube is making me feel more than anything i've seen from holywood in years!

bryce's voice is the ONLY one that should EVER voice stolas

“And I’m terrified, as I cry, to make these feelings true… what’s left for me and my broken heart, if I cannot have you?” ..First time I ever cried to a song…

Stolas’ voice actor did amazing in this song, and the animation is just so beautiful Had me weeping

I love how they changed “impish play thing” to “dearest”. It displays his growth and his genuine care for Blitz’s feelings

Dude, we're not surviving the Full Moon episode, aren't we? Also, also... Viv making the original fanmade song canon is awesome, and I'm happy that Paranoid DJ is getting that recognition that's well-deserved. Edit: 3.2k likes?? Shit, didn't expect that. Thanks.

Vivs, please, it's been years. We just want this damn gay owl to be happy.

“Why can’t you understand?” And “Is there something more that I don’t know?” Broke my heart because there is stuff he doesn’t know about Blitz. Blitz won’t tell Stolas anything because he thinks Blitz thinks he can’t be loved 😢

I loved that blitz went from a LITERAL small little plaything (stolas was literally playing with the tiny moon) to something so intense and bigger than stolas over the course of the video

This song is gonna hype a lot more attention for the next episode. 🌕🔮

This video came out December 3rd. Five days later, I was engaged. 59 days later my dad died. Life has been insane. But I keep going and the love I have for this song is as strong as ever.

I love how Stolas knows how much it hurts Blitz to agree with contract, and that’s why he bought the asmodeous crystal for him to travel freely. That shows how much Stolas really cares about Blitz.

Vivziepop can go from "haha funny sex joke lolz" to the most gut wrenching, heart breaking, soul shattering, jaw dropping song known to man

My heart is BREAKING for Stolas. The animation made me GASP. SO amazing and Bryce's voice was stunning.

I love how they changed the lyrics from “come now, my little impish plaything we both made our choice.” to 0:55 “but dearest I know better now I must give you this choice.” ❤️

lyrics!!! It is expected An oath by blood to hold the tome And the starlight passes overhead Fuels all the skills I've honed I am a guardian A watcher of these ancient rites Yet I find myself drawn from that path On those dazzling moonlit nights Let me hold you Keep you close to me I long to hear your voice But dearest I know better now I must give you this choice I can give you everything you need Or do you want to hear me plead? Just look my way Just look my way Is there something more that I don't know That you won't say till we've both grown cold?

You know what I love most about the moon symbolism? The moon directly affects the tides. So even when Stolas falls into and starts sinking in the water, the moon is still affecting him, even though it’s so far away.

You can tell Bryce put his heart and soul into this song. You can hear the emotion in his voice. He did an amazing job.

I’m so incredibly invested in not only this show, but also Blitzø and Stolas’ relationship. Stolas is such a tragically and beautifully written character in my opinion and I cannot wait to see where his development takes us

Stolas is hands down my favorite character from Helluva Boss. He has such an amazing character development.

I love how the moon is depicted as stolas’ love. First small and bright, something he can hold close and dear. Then larger, something harder to hold but something still fully within his grasp. Then at the end, impossibly large but also just out of reach. It’s tragically beautiful and I love it.

I can NOT get passed the fact Stolas was wearing shorts the WHOLE TIME

This song has to be my favorite from the series, not just because stolas is my fav character and comfort character, but I can relate to him so much. I hope him and blitz can stop being so stubborn and truly make amends and get together already. 😞😤😭❤️💜

2:00 The most painful little detail: some particles stay a bit longer, wrapping around Stolas’ hand, like Blitz was trying to hold onto him too 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Someone *please* give this poor demon a hug please I beg of you

I just love how viv's team changed the original "My little impish plaything, We both made our choice" lyrics to the "but DEAREST, I MUST GIVE YOU THIS CHOICE". SO SATISFYING, so gentle and profound of their relationship, thank you.

When Stolas said “or is it me?” Shows that bro rlly cares for Blitzø and doesn’t just blame him for things which people have done to him like when he was blamed for that fire back when he was younger. This song just broke my heart and after not watching this video for 4 months this broke my heart ONCE AGAIN.

Unrequited love is one thing. But being in love with someone who loves you back and yet feels unworthy enough to not let you love them is a different kind of torture.

To think Stolas originally was just some horny owl and turned into such a beautiful and complex character amazes me to no end. This is a truly powerful song and it’s sung and animated perfectly to suit the character as a whole. Thank you for this masterpiece!!!

I do appreciate the fact that Stolas is actually paying attention to Blitzo and understands that he has many issues and Blitz is actively pushing him away because of said issues. Too many characters these days would usually just fall into a trope of "Why is he like this" as opposed to how Stolas is moreso saying "How can I support him" by giving him individual freedom and the show of trust with the crystal

There was a poll awhile back that asked which series had better music, Hazbin or Helluva. I dont really think its a fair comparison. Hazbin is more like musical theatre, Helluva is more relevant to daily life. One is more showy and polished, but Helluva touches everything. Love, isolation, being trapped, and just straight awesomeness!

Stolas is one of my all time favorite characters in any media. He's gorgeous. He's sophisticated. He's tragic. He's got a heart of gold. He's so wonderfully written and designed. His voice actor does him ultimate justice. I initially didn't like his design in the pilot, but it's leagues better now. I wish I could give stolas a hug and tell him that everything will be okay. He really needs a good friend. It seems like he's really carrying all of the cosmos on his shoulders completely alone. It seems like only Octavia really has a true connection with him (Blitzø has room for redemption, but he's just needs to really work on himself and his relationship with our sorrowful prince.)

One thing I love about the Spindlehorse team is that they see fanmade content and recognize how well-made and fitting it is to the story and find a way to make it canon, 100/10

Bryce absolutely KILLING IT once again; he's so emotive when he sings, you can FEEL the pain in his voice.

The world sucks horrendously already, if I don't get the little happiness of these two getting an happy ending i'll genuinely give up my optimism.

The fact that this shows songs aren’t purchasable is a crime. This is stunning.

It's crazy that we went from Stolas and Blitzo's relationship being a crude joke to now being so complex that it delivers us this powerhouse of emotions. Really happy that Viv made this song canon (and I can now appreciate the original by Paranoid DJ), probably the most i've ever been moved by this show.

I love how stolas has had 3 solo songs. It just shows how much of a sensitive, soft and sweet person (well, owl I guess) he actually is.

2:22 I don’t know why I don’t see more comments about this part, but the ghostly soft piano absolutely hits me with emotion. It’s the helplessness and fragility. It’s the fact that Stolas’ sings with that feeling of helplessness. He sings like Blitzø is the most fragile thing to him that he can’t get close enough to Blitzø to comfort him otherwise he’ll break, so all he can try to do is comfort with the softest voice he can manage. That’s what breaks me.

This is the kind of thing that made me fall in love with Helluva Boss… this is what made me willing to put up with all the sex jokes (which _as a fan of the series_ I can say are hit or miss) and the gore. Just the raw, unfiltered EMOTION. In my opinion, this is the show at its absolute best.

Imagine an animator from the 1920’s watching this and seeing how far art has come. Bryce knocked it out of the park again. The animation is amazingly smooth, and the visuals are stunning. I hope that the fan who wrote the song is having the best time ever, knowing that their beautiful song inspired this.

Absolutely adore this ❤

Why is nobody talking about 3:03??? It’s so incredibly BEAUTIFUL!! I’ve replayed it so many times, it’s absolutely dazzling! The animators did amazing on this part, and the whole song in general!!

If anyone is still waiting for the next episode, please like this :)

Can I just say, the part where Stolas jumps from the water, and all the droplets coming off him, and reaching out only to fall, are so beautifully conveyed; showing you can give everything and still end up crashing. Gorgeous

This definitely deserves to be on trending. The voice actor for Stolas went all out and it’s fucking incredible. Edit: NOOOO ITS OFF TRENDING

I nearly cried watching this. I feel so bad for Stolas. He just wants Blitzø to see that he truly loves him rather than just wanting their little bargain.

This might be a bit of a reach, but I like how when Stolas is "drowning," his tears are mixing with the water around him. I think it's a reference to Hans Christian Anderson's quote about a mermaid's tears being lost to the sea, and therefore undistinguishable from any other water, sort of representing how Stolas wants to express how he feels to Blitzø, but can't, so he drowns how how he really feels with other emotions to hide the pain it causes him.

vivzie woke up and said "hey how about we make our audience cry with a heart dropping video about stolas singing for unrequited love"

Genuinely made me cry a bit the first time I watched it. Stolas sounds so passionate and pained here in this musical. The VA deserves it all hahaha

When the lights left his eyes at the end, I felt that💔

Bryce Pinkham actually made Stolas' heartbroken voice sound realistic. I like it whenever voice actors and voice actresses show off the range of emotions in their characters' voices. It brings life to the characters' voices.

Ozzie sending that gemstone was such a good touch, seeing as he's going through a similar situation as Stolas. I might be a little behind on Helluva but I just like that attention to detail for those two. Absolutely beautifully done. I love the representation of Blitz being the moon that revolves around Stolas, the music, the song, and the colors were just gorgeous ❤

we're not going to survive The full moon.

His voice is so enchanting, I've literally watched this like 10 times today

Vivziepop has successfully created a fanbase that can actually generate top-tier content and storytelling that she can then pick and choose from to elevate into canon stories and moments. Just incredible all around.

This is actually beautiful, it’s terrifying how a show that was based on murder and sex jokes has such a tragic and complex twist on love, I am here for every single bit of it

Stolas and Blitzø need to both sit down together for a couples therapy session with Rosie.

Stolas' songs get the best imagery of both series. Damn, this is beautiful.

The voice actor for stolas is just amazing, hit all the notes right. 👍🏽😍🤩

We need animation like this in movie theaters again. This is one of the examples of 2D animation showing just how far the limits can go.

From a comic relief to my absolute favourite character of Helluva boss. I just want to give him a hug 😭

i watched this before watching Helluva Boss and cried my eyes out. Now that I've watched the show, it hurts so bad that I can't even sing to it anymore.

Magnificent. As Disney falls, creators like Vivziepop only continue to rise.

HOLY SHIT. The animation, the vocals, the trauma, the perspective. Just a masterpiece. You can really see how he comprehends and sees blitz's trauma even though he wants Blitz in his life and to love him he thinks by just giving him the crystal it will help even if that means cutting off the slightest connection they had. The line "this soul binds need to come to an end." really puts that into perspective. He just really wants to comfort and help him.

I say this everytime stolas sings but HE HAS AN AMAZING SINGING VOICE

The voice quivver at 2:08 is incredible. Very very good job Bryce.

The lyric changes from the original song just make this so much more painful and emotional - we see that stolas doesnt just treat Blitzo as his "impish plaything" but as his dearest, The voicecracks full of pain are so powerful and expressive. So glad Paranoid DJ got to have this song animated. Was in tears when i saw this for the first time. I absolutely love that Stolas sees Blitzo as vulnerable and acknowledges that hes in pain and puts his walls up but hes still trying to fight to show him he loves him and he yearns for him. Cant express how gorgeous everything about this video is.
