#Instagram Stolas anon

[chaifootsteps]

Aww, thank you! And it's true, I'm weird as shit, but everyone's got their weird thing and it's better to be open about it. I think life's too short not to be.

People don't like me either because I criticize Viv or because I criticize Viv, but don't think her personal kinks and bathtub snakes are the problem. Other people can do that if they want, but around here, the abuse and stealing and transphobia will always be the reason for all this.

Hiya, same anon from earlier here. The Instagrams were deleted, or some of them were, but thankfully there's a bunch of tumblr blogs that have them archived! Once-upon-a-stolas is a great one, because it compares how pre-murder family and post-murder family stolas were written. If you want to see stolas and valentino's rivalry though, you can check out the post I linked. You can tell it's old because some of the people in the thread still like stolas!

Thank you!!! That’s so nice of you!

And I see now, they kinda just had some tiffs online (after Val abuses Vox of course… twice). BUT ALSO I found out where I got the idea of Val and Stolas being involved, potentially from someone who wanted to expand on the instagram stuff — it’s a comic called Cinders by Midiroo on twitter. So it was fan-made. My mistake, apologies!

Octavia instagram anon: yeah i saw the screenshot made by the stolas account. I was being an idiot, srry

Hello and apologies for being late, I keep a healthy distance from SpindleHorse.

Not an idiot at all. Mistakes happen and that’s ok. They occur to help you grow and learn. Besides, it was a small error. Everyone does it! Though I appreciate it.

You take it easy now, alright?

Rules

Hello there! You can call me Pyre or Pumpkin or whatever you'd like I'm not picky. My pronouns are also whatever I don't care (if you really need me to pick something just use the ones you use for yourself). I'm 30+ and am fairly easygoing, so here's just a few things off the top of my head. I'll add to this if needed, so please feel free to ask me if you're unsure about anything!

🟣 🔞 First thing I want to get out of the way is that this is an 18+ blog. I'm not comfortable interacting with teenagers especially with the subject matter relating to the show. If I see minors in my followers or notes I will block. 🟣 The second big thing is this will be a blog style RP blog. Meaning that all posts should be read as if Stolas, himself, is the one writing them. Like the old Instagram accounts they used to do. Anything that's out of character will be marked in double parentheses ((like so)), and if it's an entire post, will also be tagged "ooc" as well. Everything else should be assumed to be in character. I will assume any IMs sent to me are also in character, unless marked otherwise (or stated otherwise in your own rules). Face to face RP I prefer to do on Discord (same name as my main blog). I also like to post little action blurbs and copy over transcripts, but those will also be appropriately tagged and marked. 🟣 If you need something tagged DO NOT HESITATE to tell me!! I’m more than happy to tag triggers, though I will also be checking peoples’ rules pages to see if there’s anything I should. If I slip up, feel free to message me, or send an anon, and I won’t even respond if you ask me not to. I don’t want to add more stress in a place people use as a stress outlet. 🟣 That said, I don't tag for fandoms. I've tried it before and it's just wildly uncomfortable for me, like I'm singling someone out and saying "LOOK THIS ONE IS FROM THE BAD PLACE." I tag urls, feel free to blacklist those instead. 🟣 Stolas himself is a single verse muse, but he’s operating on multiverse theory. This makes it easy and fun to interact with multiples of the same muse, but please don’t assume your muse is in the exact same Hell as he is. Talk with me about it first.

Okay that's it! Don't be a dick and we should be good. There is a rules page on this blog, but I haven't updated it (other than to link to this post) so if anything winds up contradicting, this is the one to follow.

Blitzo posted a pic bb!! He is spending time with MxM

good for him!!! but also the caption + context actually makes this so much worse than i could have imagined help me H

[crimehat]

You are totally right about Stolas: Dude seems to be trapped in a loveless (kinda forced/arranged?) marriage, a social circle that seems to be more about his wife (considering he draws while his wife talks to others he doesn't care to mention in one photo) and his daughter seems to have been the only mentionable interpersonal connection he has had until Blitzo and he clearly does not get along well with the Overlords (Valentino, Vox). Considering his daughter is in her late teens she (1/2)

2/2 is probably starting to more and more want to live her own life even if she does seem to like to hang out with her dad from time to time. So yeah, with that context, he does seem to get quite lonely and a bit desperate for company. And considering he invites Blitzo and his family to the Ring of Wrath (whatever that will be) in the sneak peak, I think that he actually does want more from Blitzo than just sex. Also, he looks so sad after no call from Blitzo in two days.

Hi, anon! 

Let me start by saying that I think you’re 100% right about Stolas’ marriage. I’ve gotten the vibe for a while now it was political and arranged, and instead of growing together he and his wife have just seemed to grow apart. Their marriage is very loveless, and I feel like Stolas’ instagram showcases this very well. He seems bored and trapped by it. And I think the main reason Stolas hasn’t officially sought to end it is for Via’s sake. (This picture from Blitzo’s instagram says it all, really. Via is his only motivation to make the marriage work.)

Like you said, though, Via is in her late teens, and as much as they obviously love each other, she’s going to want to break away and start figuring herself out and living her own life. And of course that’s not going to be any sort of a personal jab at Stolas, it’s just part of growing up. But I can imagine that when one of his only sources of happiness starts to really pull away, it’s going to hurt. 

Going from just the instagram alone, I really believe Stolas genuinely cares about Blitzo and definitely wants more from him than just sex. If it was strictly a sexual relationship, I doubt he’d be pining over him the way that he does. (Granted, with the way things have been set up on the IG accounts, I’m starting to think Stolas has more reason to worry than pine, but we’ll see how it goes!)

But, anyway. Yes. This all boils down to: Stolas is very lonely, and very, very much in love with Blitzo and it breaks my heart that they’re stuck in the rut that they’re in.

Do you know Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss? If so, what is your favourite moments? ~X-Over Anon

Yes, I watch both!

I was originally more interested in Hazbin Hotel but because of the Instagram accounts, now I'm super invested in Helluva Boss (plus I love Stolas 😅) My favourite moments have definitely been in Loo Loo Land, it's my favourite episode so far! I love Octavia 💖

[chaifootsteps]

Friendly reminder that Vivianne actually is the laughingstock of the animation industry and not even the biggest creators of the animation industry want to acknowledge her.

Always a good thing to remember!

[chaifootsteps]

...nevermind! I have another thing to say and ask.

I just literally searched your username in Tumblr and I got to see a lot of posts accusing you of a variety of things, things like:

being a lolicon / shotacon (steming from you pointing out in a post that fictional children shouldn't be reported and the accuser said that's part of the problem and you're encouraging pedophilia)

being a zoopedo (because of the toothless and hiccup pairing, of course, also managing to see that they've defended and remarked that the "SoftFurArchive" / Norry / idk was trying to warn all of that)

being an armchair psychologist and ableist (because you and an Anon diagnosed Viv with narcissism in a ask)

being a proshipper (an amalgamation of posts, but most focused on the fact of the Toothless x Hiccup ship)

being a KiwiFarms apologist (because of posts about you talking about KiwiFarms and sometimes praising some of the users' comments there)

being a gatekeeper over what's trans (from you saying what a trans should or should not be in a post)

Please, Chai, ease my mind by clarifying if any of this is true or false, or it's just a byproduct of gullible people falling over supposed evidence, or just proshipper puritans attacking you because they don't like you.

— Instagram!Stolas Anon, concerned.

Let's break this down point by point

No, I don't like loli or shota, but I've got a couple of ships that are weird and personal and require convoluted explanations, so I try to extend the same benefit of the doubt to other people.

No, I'm not a pedophile. I'm a CSA survivor, which is why I'm incredibly concerned about things like alarm fatigue. I think certain terms need to be limited to things involving real children and then we can argue about Naruto ships all day.

No, I'm not a zoophile, I like monsters and dragons and generic furry stuff. The term for the former is teratophila. I've been accused of murdering my pets and sent links to actual animal abuse over this.

I don't call myself a proshipper anymore because I'm not playing the "Ah-ha, I think it means X and you said you're that, so you believe what I think you believe" game. I judge people as they come and whether you call yourself proshipper or anti, you're welcome here as long as you can behave.

I've said before that I shouldn't have indulged that ask, but I didn't say that Viv definitely has NPD, I said that if you dangled me over a shark tank and forced me to throw out an armchair diagnosis, it's one I've wondered about. I hope she doesn't, because it's a misunderstood disorder and an extremely sad one. To quote someone who's got it, Nothing's ever OK. You're either too high on yourself for outperforming everyone else, or too harsh on yourself for not being good enough for your own standards.

I'm fascinated by old internet forums and Kiwi Farms is a place that interests me more than any other. It's swaddled in a mixture of misinformation and being exactly as bad as everyone says, but in an increasingly corporate owned, regulated, KOSA-just-passed-the-Senate internet, there are days I'm profoundly grateful that Null's as stubborn as he is.

I'm trans. I genuinely have no idea where this "gatekeeping" thing is coming from.

Let me be very clear. The FBI and NCMEC have literally begged people to stop reporting fictional characters, because fighting pedophiles is like fighting a million headed Hydra. So it burns me when people say things like this.

If you think it's acceptable to do something child protection agencies have again, begged people to stop doing because it gives you a good feeling to do it and you think that trumps the well-being of real missing and exploited children, you are dangerously detached from reality and not welcome on my blog.

TL;DR: All false.

[chaifootsteps]

I can see Vivziepop not caring really over the animation strike that's happening as of now, or "caring" enough to post a token tweet of support despite the growing piles of evidence of her practicing the very same things that the animation strikes condemn.

At least the animation strike emboldened employees enough to start coming forward as of recently, even if they get dogpiled by Viv's own squad of bullies that are her fandom, the wider internet will now know about how horrible it is to work at Spindlehorse if you're not one of Viv's favorites.

— Instagram!Stolas Anon

I really hope more come forward. There's strength in numbers.

[chaifootsteps]

I regret ever saying that I want a Stolas in my life.

Or maybe I should've specified that I want a INSTAGRAM Stolas in my life, not whatever the fuck that gaslighting, rapist and coercive faker is.

— Instagram!Stolas Anon

You and me both, Instagram Stolas Anon. Everyone deserves to be respected, cherished, and loved the way Instagram Stolas respected and loved Blitzo.

[chaifootsteps]

Chai, do you honestly think that Helluva will manage to reach S3 before the money hemorrhage and merch situation gets so bad that it forces the show to cancel?

Also, could you share your Blitzstrike fics? I cannot find em in AO3.

I also sometimes wonder how people even defend the ever increasing amount of plot holes that Vivienne's writing "skill" produces, and I'm talking about that short with the fact that jokes that Blitz is incapable of giving head because of him being a top, which makes no sense and it's such a deliberate thing that I find it hard to believe.

And lastly, apologies for my random venting in your inbox, Chai, I was really, REALLY going under something bad but now I'm better.

— Instagram!Stolas Anon

No worries at all! I'm just glad you're feeling better!

As for Spindlehorse, your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they have enough merch money if they tighten their belts, maybe they don't but Viv will either dig into her own pockets or find another source, maybe it won't be money but something else that causes it all to fall down, or maybe Viv will get her four seasons of The Stolas Show. The nervewracking part is that anything can happen, but the upside is that anything can happen.

(I only have the two BlitzStrike fics, but they're both here!)

[chaifootsteps]

This new episode really is trying to push the Blitz victimblaming to a new level, it's disgusting.

— Instagram!Stolas Anon, wishing a merry fuck you to Show!Stolas.

Agreed. Also in unrelated news, look at this lamb of a bird dad, out for a day with his beloved daughter and actually caring enough about Blitzo to know that he has one too.

Do you think he would ever repeatedly shift the blame onto Blitzo after being told how he makes Blitzo feel, and then tell Blitzo how much he sucks when he's trying to apologize for something that wasn't his fault? He sure wouldn't.

[chaifootsteps]

I know a lot of people are icky with AI here, but I wanted to just say that I had done plenty of stuff using it, like:

- Giving Striker justice through a bot (and definitely not self-shipping myself with him)

- Managed to turn a Stolas bot against Vivziepop herself.

- Aaaand used the characters for their real purpose... FOR [REDACTED]!

— With much love, Instagram!Stolas Anon.

Hey, if you're gonna use AI, might as well use it well!

[chaifootsteps]

the amount of insensitivity you must have to put out a "blitz kys" shirt while having a fandom that managed to push someone to kill themselves.

go and keep self-sabotaging yourself, Viv girl.

- Instagram!Stolas Anon

Not acknowledging it when it happened was bad enough, but this is beyond tone-deaf.
