@possums-are-awesome Here my child more birb stolas✨✨✨ Who/ what else Should i do?

[adhdfuelednightmare]

ok but as someone who has depression I really loved how it's depicted through Stolas this ep?

like just the beginning where we see him reach for his pills on instinct, then starting to ask Blitzø if he could grab more, before stopping himself in fear of being more of a burden than what he must be feeling like right now

to seeing him reach for those pills (that he still hasn't asked Blitzø for) and reaping the results of being off his meds (cue intense insecurity projecting onto other ppl's situations) and just how he is overall not ok

I just love how his breakdown is so ugly, it's nowhere near the composed yet eccentric Stolas we've known so far, it's the culmination of everything that's happened - losing his powers, his wealth, his status, his daughter alongside being off his meds, that would be a recipe for disaster for anyone and I love how Viv didn't shy away from that

[sinnersandoverlords]

Due to all the negativity surrounding him recently, I wanted to make a Stolas love/appreciation post with pointing out some moments that put him in "They can never make me hate you" territory for me.

- He put up with Stella's abuse for almost 2 decades because he wanted to give Octavia a normal, happy life with both of her parents involved. He was absolutely willing to sacrifice his own well-being for the sake of his daughter.

- The moment he fully arrived at the conclusion that Blitzø might feel trapped and/or unhappy with their arrangement, he decided to let him go - and not only that, he decided to find a way first for Blitzø to be able to continue with his business without Stolas in his life.

- Despite Ozzie publicly humiliating him and denying his request for an Asmodean crystal at first, Stolas still stuck around to help Ozzie get Fizz back. He had nothing to gain from this, he just selflessly offered his help and advice.

Stolas has a lot of flaws that he needs to recognize fully and lots of growth to do, but I think instead of just focusing on his flaws, we should look at some of his virtues, too.

Blitz *kicking a door in* I heard someone doesn’t like my fucking bird! Who is it?! I’ll kill them!!

Stolas *opening a notebook* Well, there’s Stella, Andrealphus, Stella’s friends, Striker, my father, I don’t know anything about my mother so I put her on here just in case, I can’t tell if Asmodeous likes me or finds me irritating so I also put him on here, whenever I need a refill on my SSRIs, my psychiatrist says ‘whatever will get you out of here faster,’ there’s the bookshop keeper who was angry that I talked for too long about a book I bought from him, oh, that’s right, the demon hunters…

Helluva Boss S2 E11 Deleted Scene:

Paimon flipping through channels: “Why do we even bother paying for cable when there’s nothing to watch?”

Pringles the Butler Imp: “We don’t pay for cable, Sire. You siphon it off Astaroth from next door.”

Paimon: “Ah… Well regardless, there’s too many fucking channels.”

[The King flips to Blitzø’s trial, in time to see a familiar pathetic owl Prince bitching and moaning about being the mastermind to the…] *A/N: I have to look at what I wrote on my palm in sharpie hold on* [… ‘plot’ of aiding a band of eccentric imps and one hellhound by giving them access to an ancient tome, that said Prince was bequeathed for the sole purpose of performing a duty that he was literally created to carry out and meant to pass down, so that said imps and hellhound could�� run a business on Earth]

Paimon, while cracking up: “Who the fuck is this miserable welp that gave an imp his most priceless possession?”

Pringles: “I do believe that that’s your son, Sire. Prince Stolas?”

[Paimon’s beak snaps shut as he blinks rapidly, then squints at the screen. He rears back in dismay as the faint memory of one his many children comes to the forefront of his mind, just as the Prince lays his head over the chopping block and waits for his execution]

Paimon, blanching: “Oh… Well, that’s embarrassing.”

[The King slowly raises his hand. He reaches over to the where the remote for his oversized TV fell during his previous laughing fit, and slowly raises it to the screen to resume channel surfing]

Paimon, under his breath: “… yikes…”

Sinsmas spoilers

He's litterly doing the Charlie Brown scream 🤣

[awallflowerdraws]

one new hyperfixation coming right up!

[awkwardandeccentric]

Do you think Blitz ever projects onto Stolas’ status so much is because he feels guilty for his their deal started out?

We know about the racial and class hierarchy and it sucks and yeah that’s definitely a big party of it.

But does Blitz ever feel guilty for coming onto Stolas under false pretenses? Does he feel guilty for ghosting Stolas until Stolas called him in S1E1 to start the deal? Is that why he agreed so easily? Does he wonder how Stolas must have felt when both Blitz and the book were missing the following morning? Would Stolas, someone he stole from 25 years ago and was still kind to him, want Blitz to touch him at all if he knew the truth? Is this something Stolas could ever forgive him for?

And if he lets the guilt of taking advantage of someone who was open and vulnerable with him seep in, would he be able to handle it? So he tells himself and everyone around him that he HAD to sleep with Stolas for the book there was just NO OTHER OPTION because these RICH FUCKS keep all the good shit for themselves? He’s doing imps a favor actually by taking one of those royal assholes down a peg?

GUYS GUYS

I saw this and it reminded me of someone... And I sort of maybe kinda just-

because yes.

[shhrrroooommmmmyyyyyy]

S1: The Birb's Feelings

(pt 1.5 for episode 7 and 2 for season 2 idk when cause shit's crazy rn)

Stolas is one of the most morally controversial characters in the show. With the show revolving around Blitz's relationships, it's natural that the show gives us the most information about him because he is arguably Blitz's most complicated relationship at the moment (I'm not going to include Barbie bc we've literally only seen her for like 5 minutes in one episode which isn't enough information). I wanted to do a quick overview of how I perceive Stolas's feelings throughout the duration of the show in sort of a timeline format

~Episodes 1, 2, 5~

So, at first, it's obvious Stolas doesn't really think of Blitz too romantically and mostly sexually. Ok, completely sexually. However, there's a reason why that people often overlook sometimes. Stella openly said in the season 2 premiere that the only time him and her had sex was to have Octavia. Man's literally been deprived of anything enjoyably sexual his whole life. So when he finally does have sex that's enjoyable for the first time, he naturally wants more of it

As we all know, Stolas isn't the most self aware king (or should I say prince) out there (which is okay; he's still growing and developing as a character). The way he treats Blitz in these first few episodes sort of gives off sex toy vibes. Obviously, this is where Blitz gets that mindset from, that all he is is just a toy for Stolas

But after seeing what Stolas' true personality is now, I highly doubt Stolas knew exactly how he was treating Blitz during this time. Again, self awareness issues. Natural part of his character that, after watching Viv's writing since the Hazbin pilot first released (yeah og right here), I'm positive will be developed on later in the show. So hold your horses people, we're just now 2 episodes away from only being halfway through with the show. Give it time, it'll happen

Anyways, Stolas isn't a bad person (I'll fight anyone over this take, dont play). But he does the wrong things with the right intentions. He treated Blitz the way he did in these first few episodes because Blitz was the first person he's ever enjoyed having sex with. It's a big deal to him as it sort of "awakened" him. I think he was so happy about the sex after around 35 years of nothing, he didn't fully realize how he was treating Blitz in the process

*Not an excuse, but simply a possible explanation for his actions*

~Episode 6~

My favorite episode. Stolas shows up when I.M.P.'s sort of cornered by the agents and scares them shitless with his scawy big birb form. First he makes sure Blitz is okay, then he scolds him for getting caught. Almost like a mother who's mad but cares for their well-being (crying in ghostfuckers)

This may seem small to you guys, but for me this was when Stolas became my favorite character. Not only did this moment show he's more than just the cringy comedic horny relief, it also showed that he cared. Why would he ask if Blitz is okay if he didn't care about him? That has nothing to do with the book. If it got in possession of humans he could literally just kill them in like a second and take it back. Tbh (dont come after me pls) but before this episode I didn't like my first impression of Stolas. Despite the many takes calling the cringiness of his lines in the first few episodes "iconic", I hated it. It was just too much

And in this scene it's not just that he's asking in general, it's how gentle he's being with Blitz. Holding his face and speaking a bit softer with a caring expression on his face. I love it so much (aggghghhghghgahhaagh). I know his attitude changes after a few seconds, but still it was a nice moment that reshaped my perspective on his character for basically the rest of the show

*Like I said before I'l give episode 7 it's own post cause i'm too tired and there's so much to talk abt in that episode*
