so like.... he's in this REALLY WEIRD SPOT because it's.... this place is way nicer than Hell on like every level? he's not 'needing' to fight Everything All The Time For Survival kinda and like.... he can just sleep whenever without worrying about bullshit trying to murder him

but also... he's without his Family Of Choice, which because of their weird fucking bullshit inability to communicate Stolas.. doesn't count as sadly

so he's like... cruising for a screaming breakdown of some sort (again)

the overall "inability to actually do anything meaningful" is going to fuck with him a lot

this man does not to actual idle very well

"hurry up and wait" is The Worst TM

Oh boy

there's no clients. there's no Random Fuckers From Hell Trying To Kill You Because It's Thursday. there's nobody besides Stolas to watch out for. there's no... purpose to chase.

He... is seriously going to self destruct. Isn’t he?

he's likely to try

at the very least self-sabotage

that like... you know that bit in Lilo and Stitch where after building the toy city and destroying it Stitch is just.... Purposeless And Lost and :<

i am also kind of... low key kicking the can down the road a little to see what happens in canon? because it's soon

Yeah fair enough

and yanno, building a base of CR is important to being able to long-term keep him viable lol

so like "nope we are ignoring the elephant and my own emotions here" is also a whole thing because like.... "If i never talk about it I can't fuck it up and have the only person I know here throw me out on my own, this is a very sensible way of doing this"

Eventually that elephant is going to get the best of both of them. Stolas will eventually want to address ... when he eventually figures it out himself or thinks he does first he needs to stop avoiding it tho thaaaats hoing to be a aawhil aand I fully expect it to blow up hard in their faces cause planning to talk about feelings

And then doing are hard af. And Stolas will probably inadvertently say something that can be taken the wrong way and cause some sort of massive misunderstanding somehow

or Blitzo will say something that will come off Terrible

I am betting on a bit of both honestly?

yeah like... guh

Yeepp. They are a mess

i chew on them and it gives me seratonin
