Can. Can we talk about how D.H.O.R.K.S gave Blitzø and Moxxie a truth serum and then DIDN'T EVEN INTERROGATE THEM

Every time i rewatch Blitzo’s hallucination sequence in Truth Seekers i notice more.
Like, on a base level-
The steps to Stolas are difficult and slippery to climb at first, but the path clears as he climbs.
Stolas’s positioning and framing not only call out their significant class differences but also frame Stolas in a sort of heavenly position, at the top of an elegant marble stairway to heaven. Furthering a few things- it posits Stolas as something unattainable, something holy, something that might lead to good, but also something too good for him?
As he climbs the steps he is cleaned of the grime of his previous guilt and he regains himself (loses his clown outfit and appears how he usually does)- but in doing so he also becomes shackled in golden chains to stolas.
The chains being a reminder of what he fears about any relationship including with stolas- being ‘shackled’ (commitment-related issues) and then also, specifically, and importantly here- being seen as just a plaything to stolas.
Stolas is the most clear and realistically depicted of the characters in Blitzo’s hallucination. Closer than even Blitzo himself. Every other figure of his life that comes to taunt him is distorted. Not even Moxxie, who is in the room with him, comes close- even after his depiction shifts, he is in drag. What does this say? I think in part it furthers the fact that Stolas here seems to represent a kind of escape for Blitzo from the torment of everything else (but at what cost- i.e. the shackles).
AND something ELSE i noticed is that on his forehead for the majority of the hallucination Blitzo’s forehead mark is a clear broken heart. But on the steps to stolas it returns to its usual appearance. This is another way in which he regains his usual self, but also, this change specifically could speak to the potential of his heart healing?
Blitzo of course does not appear to be comfortable in the dynamic that hallucination-Stolas has brought him into, once he reaches Stolas, but even still, he snaps at Moxxie, which reads to me as that he wants to stay undisturbed in the moment. Maybe he thinks that that sort of power dynamic is the best that he would ever get or deserve.

I like how when Moxxie and Blitzø first start feeling the effects of the truth serum they keep insulting each other and then immediately apologizing because that means the apologies are also truthful. They feel bad for hurting each other. Isn't that lovely 🥹

Today (March 17th) it's two months since I've started to draw again 🥳🥳 and I wanted to celebrate with this beautiful scene from Helluva Boss, from "Truth Seekers".
I worked on it all day and it was really complicated to put two different shots together 😅 you can see it from the many pencil lines transparing through the colour, especially on the yellow which is very light.
I don't know if the perspective is right but this is the best I've been able to do.
I also bought some new pencils, of a slightly lower quality than the ones I had before (you can see from the blue of Blitzo's jacket) but they are 180 colors. 😍
Sadly with this pencils I can't layer over the colors well with other colours, in fact Stolas' tail remained too blue, but there was no way, they didn't mix! :/
Last thing, at the end I added the golden feathers, which are a must, but they ended up looking more like bananas! XD Oh well, good night! 💙🍌😋
Reblog if you can, thx!! :3

I don't know how late I am to the party, but I haven't seen this pointed out yet. It Truth Seekers, during Blitz's bad trip, look who it is fanning Stolas.
