Viv hired a r*pist????? Is it Brock Baker or is it someone else?

Vivziepop never hired a rapist. Brock Baker is the pilot voice of Stolas, however in July 2020 he got hit with allegations of sexual misconduct. Which publicly went nowhere and as you can tell he got replaced.

🦉Stolas Goetia Redesign✨

Since I hated Stolas from the pilot and series I decided to redesign him because why is he skinny furry gay twink like Viv wtf have you done to the adorable owl prince?!

So I decided to make him into his bible accurate design and make him more owl like appearance,no clothes for hin and his ears make him more like an horn owl.

Btw my version of Stolas is a shy Astronomer that screams a lot when there’s a intruder in his library than his icky OG version.

He is Asexual in my version because I am disgusted and disappointed with Viv Stolas and he’s immortal since Paimon and Stolas are not related on the internet I searched up.

His voice is deep like his old pilot VA Brock Baker but no suggestive words though.

He marries Stella when she became a sinner and died in the French mob revolutionary where Marie Antoinette died,fell inlove with her.

My Stolas is Asexual he have to give birth to Octavia by using magic instead of Stella.

Finally someone in the community who is actually aware that Brock Baker (stolas pilot voice actor) is a pedo like everyone wishes he was still voicing stolas like guys that’s the reason why his disgusting ass got fired from the show because he was talking to a minor girl and let’s not forget how Vivzepop didn’t do jackshit until the girl made a YouTube video calling him and spindlehorse out and that’s when viv decided to do something 🙄

He's not a "pedo". What he did was legal- BUT!

The girl was still barely 18 while Brock was in his THIRTIES.

Regardless of the law, I dont think people realize how much of an unhealthy power dynamic that is. Let alone physically so.

The human brain isnt fully developed till 25. The girl's brain was only 18 years old.

Of course, this is still legal. But just not morally right.

PS: He also let her drink alcohol while she was only 18. Which is NOT legal even in California.

So he DID technically do something against the law by letting a underage girl (by alcohol law standards) drink alcohol AND had sex with her while he was in his thirties instead of telling her parents like a decent goddamn person would.

Bottom line,

Vivziepop's associates are just disgusting people in general.

Period.

(Once again, if anyone has an archive of the tweet Brock made with the extended tweet that'd be great!)

[chaifootsteps]

Okay I know he wouldn’t be the first VA to settle on a different performance halfway through the production, but I noticed Stolas used to have a lower register in the early episodes and now he sounds quite young. It’s a personal preference, but I don’t like it and I gather it must’ve been one of many things that turned me off to the whole show. He sounded just as playful while sounding like a grown man/owl. I almost miss it and I don’t even watch or rewatch Helluva Boss anymore.

Oh, that's not a performance choice, that's because Stolas used to be voiced by Brock Baker. Vivzie cut him because a girl accused him of sexual misconduct, Brock said he didn't, neither had any proof to speak of, and while Vivzie apparently didn't entirely believe the girl, she said that Stolas was the price of Brock's behavior.

This has been my bone of contention ever since we heard the first words out of Bryce Stolas's mouth, that he sounds way too young. He sounds like Via's brother, not her dad, and while I didn't need Brock back specifically to be happy, I've never been happy with him sounding like a wispy little college boy.

(Although for what it's worth, you're right, Bryce's Stolas performance actually has been creeping steadily higher. I know because in the course of my dumb little quest to pilot-ify it so I can listen to it without hating it, I've had to make adjustments accordingly.)

For me it was half the humor and half the charm of Stolas, that he was a much older guy with a teenage daughter who was behaving this way. Part of the sympathy too, that he'd lived so long and seen so much, that at the time we thought he was an ancient being, and that Blitzo brought color and excitement back into his life.

[heartshapedcreaturefromcriptoon]

Okay, you know what? Fuck fuck fuck I am pissed the fuck off I am pissed I am so fucking pissed!

Because y''all I knew some fuckwit was gonna try and pull this kind of gaslighty, guilt trippy, virtue signaling, trolly garbage on on our fandom and achieve nothing but fucking re-traumatizing everyone eventually, I just didn't think the person doing that would be this fucking stupid, nor did I think it would be this fucking soon.

So without further ado, before I jump scare anybody as much as I was when I initially first saw this shit and confused it for real at least within the tumblr drop down menu (very fucking understandably so, as you'll see in a moment) and because I coined an actual fan run Hazbin Hotel drama/satire/parody tag that razzle dazzled and hocus pocus'd nearly every single anti, fanti, and their mother at one point into try'na love me from behind like I'm Beth Cooper only for me to turn around around and be like "nah brah I love the show u mad? ;)" and then they whine about me when I block them, and I still, to this day, gotta deal with obnoxious Big Name Fans TM with no brain who've complained about me blocking because I didn't wanna be their friend and then, stuck me into the 'anti' category because of that and then continued to harass and block evade me afterward because they wanted to be my friend (which I feel like is very Alastor coded of me to be honest) and because I'm already working on several Hazbin Hotel "Drama" Themed Satire/Parody SONGS that would make Weird Al Yankovic blush because we need some actually good Fan Music written by women because we're all queer adults here and we deserve that and can take this, and all this and this warning for what I'm about to show you and do about it because I KNOW I'm already braver than ANY U.S Marine ...Here the fuck we go, folks:

... So um @blackgryph0n who isn't actually THE dread blackgryph0n and who just like, re-appropriated a goddamn fucking confirmed pedophiles official url across any and all social media to make da funsies shits and giggles with thusly re-traumatizing and triggering every victim who uses this website into a slight fight or flight panic attack when we thought you were legit, and made me personally wanna knife you down Nifty style the second I saw your very official url and believed it to be true because you're nothing but a virtue signaling leech with no creativity of your own to make a joke of that bastard actually worth it's salt so you have to settle for tricking victims into thinking you're really him even if it's only for a split second to get your jollies and making everyone around you feel unsafe and making me feel ready to again like, knife you down Nifty style the moment I saw this shit blog and freaked out for half a second and thought you were legit because you're a fool to think this is funny and you're harming victims, not helping them?

Hazbin Hotel and it's Fandom aren't "implicated" in anything. That's like saying Daron Nefcy, StarCrew and Star vs. The Forces of Evil are "implicated" for ever having Jeffery Tambor on payroll for it's first 3 seasons before replacing him with ... Well who the fuck do you know? Keith David, also a Hazbin Hotel Series Proper Cast Member, in the fourth one!

It's like saying that Helluva Boss is also "implicated" for having Brock Baker on it's Pilot Episode before replacing him with Bryce Pinkham!

Hazbin Hotel's Creators, it's official crew and it's fans, are absolutely NOT fucking responsible, nor are we "implicated", in any goddamn fucking thing the fired pedophile your own stank ass is currently roleplaying as for chuckles did so you can just fuck right the hell off with this bullshit right the fuck now!!!

The only "fact" we have to "contend" with now is the fact that Gabriel C. Brown, Ashley Nichols, and The Cult of Michael Kovach all held our Hazbin Hotel Fandom hostage at gun point with Gabe's guns while Dave Dave Capdevielle wouldn't stop screaming "REEEEEE!!!!!!" into our faces while Gabe and Mike got into into a cishet asexual singing pissing contest on all the girls legs and then cried about it on twitter when Roman and Talai shielded the girls from those parasocial weirdos and offered them towels. Bosco's in a contractual bind and the Evil Cishet Leprechaun Overlord let's it happen to get his gold. And it's not the Hazbin Fandoms fault that Medrano's been pretty much forced to operate like a Hot Girl using Incels to get her Food and Money since the beginning and her previous employees found ways to sneak themselves back into the Hazbin fandom like a bunch of scorned creepy incel stalker exes who just refused The Breakup once they were told it was Over.

If you're gonna "implicate" someone, implicate Ashley Nichols and the rest of the horrible cishet men of the hunicast barring Bosco! Not Vivienne Medrano or her frankly much queerer shows or fandoms! 💀💅

Which brings us to our next point:

1. Minors shouldn't even be in the Hazbin Hotel fandom, so you're really only talking about the damn video game here, which is not the Hazbin fandoms fucking problem or responsibility, and neither is Brown anymore , all he's left is the damage he's done to our fandom and those who happen to now also be within it, who weren't even in the Hazbin fandom when Brown first victimized them because Hazbin Hotel as a creation didn't even fucking exist yet! So you're reheating your leftover brony garbage and throwing it on us Fur Fags here? Shaking my head! 💀

2. "...Or even be in private contact with." Real nice subtle shade and Victim Blaming towards Brown's first Victim to come foreword within the Hazbin Hotel Fandom you got going there, and really nice to know that you only care about Brown's victims from the fandoms that you aren't trying to implicate. So good to know you don't really care at all about Brown's victims "staying safe" if they stayed happily within the Hazbin Hotel fandom all this time, and are entirely willing to throw away their entire existence along with the fact that your real person kinnie blog only exists and this whole thing only blew up because a Hazbin Hotel Fan TM came out about being abused by a pedophile who was let go from the actual show so long ago now, and any of all instance of her being a target of said pedophilia by this man, choosing only to to focus on him grooming his wife, while impersonating him as a bit. I see you, Rage Bait Pedo Kinnie! 💀

3. And... Again: HAZBIN HOTEL AND ALASTOR, THE RADIO DEMON, HAVE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH GABE C. BROWN ANYMORE SO KEEP ANY AND ALL MENTION OF OUR FANDOM AND AMIR TALAI'S CHARACTER THE FUCK OUT THE TAGS OF YOUR WEIRD PEDO KINNIE THEMED CALLOUT BLOG AND POSTS, WHY DON"T YOU!? 💀🔪

Well at least now I know I'm a better satire/parody account than this fool will ever be because at least I don't have to resort to jump scares and faking people out and making them need to do a double take for their own sanity when I do it! BAD FORM FROM YOU!!! 💀🔪

In the words of someone who I'm hoping to be the only good man left over from the Hazbin Pilot/hunicast days, and someone who I also wouldn't in a million years boycott these shows for because I love him...

YOU'RE NOT FUNNY!!!!!! 💀🔪

I HATE YOUR PEDO KINNIE FACE DELETE YOUR PEDO KINNIE BLOG PLUS YOU'RE UGLY IRL!!!!!!! 💀🔪

That was a paraphrased Pony Head SVTFOE Quote hope that helps! 💀🦄🩸🔪💖💅

My thoughts on the voice cast for

When I heard that the VA of Stolas was changed, I will admit I wasn't in favor of the voice at first.

But Bryce Pinkman won me over. He brings so much to the character giving Stolas a wide range of emotion.

While Brock Baker did a good job for Stolas in the pilot, I think it was for an older version of Stolas that didn't make it into the show. This Stolas came across as very aristocratic and demanding. I thought he was going to serve as a low grade antagonist, someone IMP has to appease in order to stay in business.

However, this final version of Stolas as portrayed by Bryce Pinkman who shows a greater range of emotion and personality which gives more to the overall story and romance for Stolitz.

That being said, I trust Vivziepop when it comes to casting her characters from Hazbin Hotel for these reasons.

She knows the characters. These are HER characters, she created them. She knows their backgrounds and their futures. What do we know about these characters except what we see in the pilot and possibly non-canon comic prequels?

Viv has an ear for voices. She did an excellent job casting the roles for the pilot. Doubtless she can do it again and this time with a larger network of potential actors.

The cast are Broadway actors. Which means they can both sing and act! Perfect for a musical such as Hazbin Hotel. Give these songs a listen.

Blake Roman's voice is beautiful. I can hear Angel Dust forlornly singing this song. It's both sad, but hopeful.

I am so excited to one day to hear this performance as Valentino, especially with this rich voice.

Skip to about a minute into the song to hear Christian Borle properly. It sounds like Vox is going to have a 'young entrepreneurial' voice. I like it better this way as I can hear Christian Borle giving a wide range of personality to Vox.

Now this cast change came out of left field for me. I was fully expecting Viv to keep Husk with the 'Rick Sanchez' drunk voice, but Keith David's deep smooth voice is a big change! It could mean like Stolas, the Husk we saw in the pilot was just a previous version before the final version we'll see in the premier.

Part Twenty-Six: Decisions, Decisions...

[slow burn romance between Steve Rogers and SHIELD agent Emma Baker]

Warnings: 18+, contains humor, fluff, mental health, family trauma, romance, angst, language, violence, (potentially smut later on).

installment list

Word count: 6.7k

General Ross proposes the Sokovia Accords and Emma has some big decisions to make.

On the way back home, there is relative silence on the jet. No one speaks because they're all just trying to process what they saw. As Emma is tapping away at her laptop trying to get a report done before they get back, Wanda wanders up to her. She sits beside Emma on the bench and asks quietly, "Is...is there any way we just...don't send the footage to the media?"

Emma sighs and shakes her head, taking a break from her typing. "Unfortunately no. Sam and I aren't the only ones who got footage of that today. A report has to go out, but I'm trying my hardest to make sure everyone knows it wasn't your fault."

"But it was my fault, I couldn't contain the blast," Wanda replies despondently.

"Well even then, if you hadn't stepped in we would be down a man and many many more people would have died. So here I am being the one to say thank you, Wanda." She makes a quick glance up to Steve who is piloting the jet and adds, "And thank you for saving Steve."

Wanda tries a small smile as she says, "I'll always have my team's back."

"Good," Emma replies. "And hey, look on the bright side of things, the ending may not have been the best, but while we were there, we did a helluva lot of good."

When the team gets back to the compound, Emma heads to her room to shower and take another look over the footage. She plays the news report on the TV as she showers and mutters to herself, "Of course they're only talking about the explosion. Of course they aren't focusing on how we saved that bio-weapon from being unleashed on the world. I don't see them publishing footage of Wanda taking all that gas out of the building and saving everyone inside's life..."

Freshly clean and pissed off, Emma sits down at her desk and opens her laptop. She takes snippets of the footage from the day, of all the good things they did, and edits them together into one video. Emma then goes to her recording feature and makes a voiceover for the video.

She takes a deep breath and starts her speech. "Hello everyone. My name is Emma Baker and many of you may know me as the Avengers Reporter. Today as you all know, a small group of the Avengers, including myself, went to Lagos, Nigeria on a mission. That mission's goal was to take down former SHIELD agent and STRIKE leader, Brock Rumlow AKA Crossbones. And we were successful. The footage you're seeing is footage I personally recorded of the mission. Here you get to see what the news isn't covering. Today Wanda Maximoff saved dozens of lives from noxious gas in this building. Natasha Romanoff and Sam Wilson saved what could have been millions of lives from a bio-weapon being unleashed on the world. Captain Steve Rogers made sure that all of this went down as smoothly as possible. No one could have known that Rumlow was going to detonate a suicide vest, and we are very thankful that Wanda was there because without her. Captain Rogers would no longer be with us. Same with dozens of people in that crowded market. As a team, we did what we could with the resources and time we were given and as you can see, we did a ton of good that the news simply is not going to show you. Thank you for watching." Emma hovers her finger over the upload button for a second before clicking it. There had to be a way to make things right...

A few minutes later Emma makes her way to the kitchen to start something for dinner for everyone because what they all needed was comfort food in the midst of what happened in Lagos. As she cooks, Emma keeps checking her phone. From across the kitchen, Maria notices and asks, "Why do you keep checking your phone? I know you aren't checking a recipe, you know this one by heart."

Emma scrunches her eyebrows in confusion before putting her phone down. "It's just...I published something to put on the Avengers blog about the mission today and it hasn't gotten any views."

"Well, how long ago did you publish it?" Maria asks as Emma puts the dish she's making in the oven.

"About half an hour ago before I came in here to make dinner. Usually my Avengers stuff gets thousands of views within minutes and I would assume after something big like this, people would be wanting answers."

"Huh, that is weird," Maria says, thinking of what could be the problem.

They don't have to think too long though before the voice of Tony Stark presents itself. "What happened was me, Baker."

Emma turns around and takes off her oven mitts, asking, "Hey Tony, what do you mean by that?"

"Don't you 'hey Tony' me. I had to stop that video you were publishing because it was about to cause me a PR nightmare. You aren't supposed to cause me PR nightmares, Baker, you're supposed to prevent them!"

Emma can't help the hot rage burning inside, so in response to Tony's yelling, she raises her voice a bit too. "How the hell would that video cause a PR problem Stark? Everything in that video was the truth whether you admit it or not!"

"The truth is that you were blatantly ignoring the fact that people in that building died!"

"Dozens more could have died if Wanda hadn't intervened! Millions more if we hadn't been there! Maybe you would know that if you had listened to a goddamn word I said!"

"Guys! Guys!" Maria shouts trying to stop the argument.

At the sound of the yelling, Sam and Steve walk into the area followed by Wanda and Vision to see what was causing the commotion. Both Tony and Emma ignore Maria as Emma takes a jab at Tony. "You never listen to what I have to say when it comes to this stuff Stark! Way back when you completely ignored my coverup of the whole Iron Man thing and now you're not letting me publish the truth? I got into this business so that the news and its biases couldn't just publish whatever they want with no one taking the other side. That video was the other side! That video shows all the good we did and the silver lining of it all!"

"Well, silver linings don't mean shit when the world doesn't trust you anymore, Baker!" The words hit Emma and even though they have nothing to do with her and Steve's falling out, it takes her back to that headspace. In this fragile state, Emma can no longer think of anything to say to Tony, the fire inside her being put out at the mention of mistrust. At Emma's silence, Tony gets one more zinger in, saying, "All the world sees is the destruction we leave behind and you have always caught that destruction on camera."

Emma tries to open her mouth to say something but can't get any words out. She stands there defeated and turns her eyes to the ground. As he watches her reaction, Steve wishes he could take Emma into his arms and tell her it wasn't her fault, but instead of doing that, he simply asks Tony, "You're here for a reason aren't you? You aren't just here to yell at Emma?"

"Yeah, I am here for a reason as a matter of fact. We have a meeting with the Secretary of State. Everyone to the meeting room. Now."

Everyone follows Tony to the meeting room, Emma taking up the rear of the group and walking slowly, not wanting to face the music. Steve slows his pace to match Emma's before they reach the doors. He takes Emma's hand in his own and gently squeezes it, telling her, "Hey, it'll be okay, Em." Emma gives him a small smile at the gesture, her mind too clouded by anxiety as to what the meeting could be about to respond with words.

The team all gathers in the room, taking seats around a table with Secretary Ross at the head of it. Ross starts off the meeting with a story about his past heart attack, ending with talking about perspective. "The world owes the Avengers an unpayable debt," he tells them all. "You have fought for us, protected us, and risked your lives, but while a lot of people see you as heroes - a great deal thanks to you Miss Baker - there are some people who see you as vigilantes."

Natasha is the first one to speak up, asking, "And how do you see us, Mr. Secretary?"

"How about dangerous?" Ross asks her. "What would you call a group of skilled individuals based in the US who routinely ignore sovereign borders and inflict their will wherever they see fit? Top it off with those individuals seeming almost unconcerned about what happens when they leave and that's why I call it dangerous."

A small fire ignites itself in Emma at the words, wanting desperately to speak up, but words fail her as Ross brings up a holographic monitor to show them footage of the major battles the Avengers have been present in. Ones that Emma captured footage of. As Ross goes through footage of destruction and battle, every time Emma sees her watermark in the bottom corner, she breaks a little more inside. She keeps her eyes glued to the screen, not wanting to look at anyone else to see if they notice the mark too even though she can still see their eyes shifting...

Everyone has their own reactions to the videos and Steve notices so he says to Ross, "Okay, that's enough."

Ross nods and stops the footage. "For the past few years, you have operated with unlimited power with zero supervision. Frankly, that's an arrangement that the governments of the world can't accept anymore. I think we have a solution though." He takes a hefty book from his assistant and passes it to Wanda. "The Sokovia Accords. It's approved by 117 countries and states that the Avengers shall no longer be a private organization. Instead, it will be run and regulated by the United Nations panel and only go out if and when necessary."

"The Avengers were formed to make the world a safer place," Steve tells him while staring at the book. "I feel we've done that."

"Then tell me, Captain, do you know where Thor and Banner are right now?" Ross is met with silence from Steve so he continues with, "If I misplaced a couple of thirty megaton nukes you can bet there would be consequences."

The fire inside Emma burns a little brighter at the words, but once more her own words fail to make an appearance because her mind keeps going back to the videos they were shown as well as Tony's words earlier. When no one says anything, Ross speaks again. "Compromise and reassurance. That's how the world works. This is the middle ground."

From his place at the table, Rhodes asks, "So there are contingencies, yes?"

"Three days from now the UN meets in Vienna to ratify the Accords. Talk it over," he tells them before starting to leave the room.

As he heads for the door, Natasha asks, "And if we come to a decision you don't like?"

"Then you retire," he tells her sternly.

When Ross leaves the room and everyone moves to the living area, arguing about the Accords ensues. Sam and Rhodes argue about what Ross knows about Avenging while Steve reads the Accords and Tony sits on the couch with his hand over his face. Emma gets the almost burnt food out of the oven and sits plates beside it if anyone feels the need to eat, but she certainly doesn't. She also doesn't want to be surrounded by her friends arguing so she stays in the kitchen just listening in.

"I have an equation," Vision says loudly to stop Sam and Rhodes' fighting.

"Oh great, this'll surely clear things up," Sam smarts off.

"Well in the eight years since Mr. Stark revealed himself as Iron Man, the number of enhanced individuals has increased exponentially. During the same period, the number of world-ending events has also increased."

"Are you saying it's our fault?" Steve asks, looking up from the Accords.

"I'm saying there may be a causality," Vision responds.

Pissed, Emma smarts off just loudly enough to be heard by Sam and Rhodes. "Correlation doesn't equal causation Vision, that's basic college statistics..." Sam turns and smirks at Emma's comment and mouths a thank you!

Vision continues his statement, saying, "Our very strength invites challenge which then incites conflict and conflict...well that brings catastrophe. Oversight is not something that should be dismissed out of hand."

"Boom," Rhodes says, turning to Sam which makes Emma roll her eyes as she turns to get a glass from the cabinet.

"Tony," Natasha speaks up, "you're being uncharacteristically non-hyperverbal."

"That's because he's already made up his mind," Steve tells her with frustration in his voice.

"Boy you know me so well," Tony mutters while getting up and walking toward the kitchen. "Actually I'm nursing an electromagnetic headache. That's all. Just...pain, Cap." He looks in the sink and asks, "Who's been putting coffee grounds in the garbage disposal? What am I running a bed and breakfast for a biker gang?"

Emma sighs and shoots a look at Sam and says, "Damnit Wilson what did I tell you?"

Sam puts his hands in the air, "Sorry, I was in a rush this morning."

"I don't care if you were in a rush," Tony tells him. "I care about this." He slaps his phone onto the counter and starts telling them about one of the people that died while the Avengers were there doing their thing.

Wanda lets out a barely audible "Oh my God..." at the information.

Tony then continues in frustration, "There's no decision-making process here. We need to be put in check and whatever form that takes, I'm game. If we can't accept boundaries or limitations we are no better than the bad guys."

"Tony, when someone dies on your watch you don't give up," Steve tells him.

"Who said we're giving up?"

"We are if we're not taking responsibility for our actions," Steve retorts. "This document just shifts the blame."

"I'm sorry, Steve, that is dangerously arrogant," Rhodes tells him. "This is the United Nations we are talking about here. Not the World Security Council, not HYDRA, not SHIELD-"

"No, it's not," Steve interrupts him, "but it's run by people with agendas and agendas change."

"That's good!" Tony shouts, leaving the kitchen. "That's why I'm here. When I realized what my weapons were capable of I shut it down."

Emma finally finds words to say and calls, "Stark, you chose to do that! If we sign this we surrender our right to choose."

"Emma's right," Steve agrees. "What if this panel sends us somewhere we don't think we should be? Or if they send us somewhere they want us to be and we would be of better use somewhere else? We may not be perfect but the safest hands are still our own."

Tony comes back with, "If we don't do this now, it's just gonna be done to us later. That's the fact and it won't be pretty."

Wanda finds her voice and says, "So you're saying they'll come for me."

Vision responds immediately with, "We would protect you."

"Maybe Tony's right," Nat says to them all. "If we have one hand on the wheel we can still steer, but if we take it off..."

Before she can finish though, Sam interrupts her, asking, "Aren't you the same woman that told the government to kiss her ass a few years ago? Am I still talking with her right now?"

"I'm just trying to navigate this situation," she replies. "We have made some very public mistakes and to make up for it we need to win people's trust back."

"I'm sorry, did I hear you right?" Tony asks. "Did you just agree with me?"

"Oh I'm starting to regret it now," she smarts off.

"No, no, no, you can't take it back," Tony tells her with a smirk.

From his seat, Steve feels his phone start buzzing with a text so he takes it out to check the message. "I have to go," he says out loud before letting the Accords fall to the table, walking out of the area quickly.

Emma watches as Steve leaves and Sam takes the initiative to follow him. "I'll be back."

When he leaves, everyone starts to get up from their seats and goes into the kitchen for food. Emma starts to leave the area so she could get some time with her thoughts when Tony stops her. "Baker, can I speak with you?"

"Uh sure yeah," Emma mumbles, turning back around.

"We don't have to talk right here, let's go somewhere quieter." Emma nods and follows him down the hall and back into the meeting room they met with Ross in. Tony closes the door and starts with, "Look, I'm gonna get straight to the point. As I see it, you have two options here. You can either stay an Avenger, sign the Accords, and do so legally under government control or you can continue as an Avenger without signing, become a vigilante, and lose your job here as well as any sort of government support.  If you go the second route, on a mission, anyone at any time can call for your arrest or worse your execution depending on where you are. Baker, you're my best reporter, so I hope you make the smart decision here. There's big coverage coming up for the meeting with the UN and I'll need you there."

Emma nods while her mind turns over what Tony had said. "You've given me a lot to think about. I'll keep you updated on my decision, I'll try and make up my mind by tomorrow evening."

"Just let me know," he tells her as he walks out the door.

Emma leaves the conference room and walks through the living area to make her way to her bedroom. While passing through, she bumps into Sam. "Sorry, I'm super distracted, I didn't mean to run into you," she apologizes to him quickly.

"You're okay," he replies.

"How's Steve? Did he say what was up?"

"Well, Peggy died," Sam replies with a sigh. "He's pretty broken up about it, so naturally he's beating the shit out of the punching bags in the training gym."

Emma's heart breaks for Steve, she knows how it feels to lose someone that important... "I should go talk with him," she says and starts to head in the direction Steve had gone off in.

Before she can leave though, Sam grabs Emma's arm to stop her. "He just needs time alone, Ems."

"No one needs to be alone in a time like this, Sam. He was there for me when my Grammie died, I need to be there for him now," she tells him.

"And I understand that, but he explicitly told me he wanted to be alone. If he hadn't I'd still be in there with him right now."

Emma stops her walking and nods. "I understand."

"Good," he replies. "Now just go to your room and relax for the night, it's been a long day. Tomorrow we can figure all of this shit out."

"Okay," Emma says, not wanting to bring up the talk she just had with Tony. "Goodnight Sam."

"Night. Don't get too into that head of yours, okay?"

"I'll try. No promises," Emma tells him with a soft laugh.

The next day comes and by morning Emma still doesn't have an answer to her dilemma, so instead of staying at the compound, she heads back to Manhattan for the day to try and buy some time. As Emma is heading out, Maria spots her and calls out her name. Emma quickly turns around and shushes her, "I don't need anyone to know that I'm leaving right now! I just need time to think, time I won't get that being here with everyone all day."

"Where are you going?"

"Manhattan. I need to go to that coffee shop for a bit. Maybe then I'll take a trip down to Central Park to see if I can come up with an answer to all of this crap going on."

"I'm coming with you," Maria tells her.

"Oh Maria, you don't have to. I don't want to interrupt your work."

"I want my work to be interrupted," Maria tells her. "Since things went down yesterday I've had a massive headache from dealing with it all."

"Sorry about that," Emma tells her sheepishly.

"Don't be, now let's head out and have some fun like old times when it was just the two of us."

"You don't have to tell me twice," Emma replies with a smile.

After her day out with Maria, Emma arrives back at the compound with answers. "Here goes nothing," she whispers to herself as she goes to knock at Steve's bedroom door.

The door cracks open to reveal an exhausted-looking Steve Rogers. "Hey Em, what's up?"

"Can I talk with you about something?" At the question, Steve opens the door fully and invites her into the room. When she takes a step in, she sees Sam is there as well. Sam stands up from his spot on a chair, but before he can leave, Emma takes a deep breath and tells him, "You don't need to go, Sam. This kinda involves you too."

Sam sits back down and Steve sits on the edge of his bed, asking, "What'd you want to talk about?"

"Well..." she trails off, suddenly losing confidence in herself and her decision.

Emma starts subconsciously fiddling with the ring on her thumb, a tick Steve has picked up on that means she's really stressed out. "Is everything okay, Em?"

Emma sighs and replies, "I guess I'm just gonna have to rip the bandaid off aren't I?" She avoids eye contact with Steve and Sam as she continues, "I have to resign from the Avengers."

"And why do you have to do that?" Steve asks, his eyebrows furrowing in confusion.

"I had a talk with Tony last night about the Accords and-" Emma tries but is interrupted by Sam.

"Since when the hell did you listen to what Stark has to say about the Accords? I thought you were on our side! You can't just abandon ship when things get rough, Emma!"

"He pushed my hand, okay? I refuse to sign those Accords, Sam, and because there's no way in hell I'm signing them, if I continue avenging I risk everything I have here. My job, my tech, maybe some of my friends. I can't lose every bit of stability I have in my life at once."

"Do you realize how selfish you sound right now?" Sam asks in frustration. "The whole point of being a hero is that you risk your life to save others who can't protect themselves! How don't you understand that?"

"Oh I'm so sorry that I'm finally in a stable place for once in my life and I would like to keep it that way! And don't you even dare accuse me of not understanding what it means to have the title of an Avenger. Of a hero. Because I lived most of my life believing I was the villain in my own life's story and now that I'm finally helping people, there's nothing about that title I don't understand." She turns away as her voice breaks, "I can't lose everything over a stupid piece of paper."

"You'd still have us," Sam tells her softly, sensing that he had gone too far.

"And I get what you're saying," Emma continues quietly. "I get that I can't just stop saving people because things get rough, but what Tony told me scared the hell out of me. He said that if I don't sign the Accords and I go out on a mission, even if I'm saving people, the government of wherever we are can call for my arrest or execution."

"Emma you know I would never let that happen to you," Steve tells her instantly.

Emma sighs and wipes a tear from her cheek with the sleeve of her sweater, saying, "I know, I know, but then you're in the crosshairs too. There are just too many factors and risks now. I'm sorry."

"Emma," Sam says, "that's what our whole job is: risk. We risk our lives to do the job that no one else will."

"But if we go out and have the government on our tails as well as the bad guys then we can't do our jobs properly. Please don't act like I didn't think this through."

Sam's frustration begins to show again as he mumbles, "I don't have to act."

Emma sighs in frustration and shouts, "I don't know what to tell you here, Sam! As long as I want to keep my job with Stark Industries, I have to remain a neutral third party in all of this and that means giving up being an Avenger! Trust me, it breaks my heart having to give up everything I've worked so hard for but I really don't have a choice."

"The hell you don't!" Sam says, raising his voice once more. His frustration reaches another peak and he shouts, "I really thought you of all people would understand what needs to be done here! You know, breaking the law for the greater good, it's not like you haven't done that before!"

Emma is speechless for a second as she sees red. She tries to keep her cool though, almost growling, "Don't you dare compare this to what I did back then."

Steve finally gets fed up listening to the bickering without getting a word in, so he stands up and says, "That's enough you two. They're tearing up the team enough as it is, we can't let them tear our friendship apart too!"

"Steve, are you even hearing what's happening right now?"

"Yes I am, Sam, and as your Captain, I advise you to back down. Emma is making the decision that's best for her. That doesn't have to change our position on the matter."

A few more tears slip from Emma's eyes and she tells the both of them quietly, "I hope both of you know that I support you one hundred percent, I just can't be involved in all of this, okay?"

"I understand, Em," Steve tells her softly.

"I'll just see myself out," she tells them and turns to leave.

Steve follows her to the door and tells her, "Don't worry about Sam, he's just pissed and needs to blow off some steam. I'll talk with him, okay?"

Emma nods and makes her way down the hall. She decides to go to her room to listen to music and calm down her nerves. When she gets there, she puts on her headphones and blasts some rock music to try and drown everything from the past 72 hours out.

After about half an hour, she feels a presence in the room and spins her chair around to see Sam standing in her room with a smirk on his face. Emma takes out her headphones and says, "I didn't think you'd want to talk with me right now."

"And I didn't know you listened to heavy metal, I guess we're both full of surprises."

"Aren't you pissed at me?"

"I wouldn't say pissed, more so just frustrated in your decision," he replies. Emma is about to open her mouth to smart off, but Sam says, "Ah, ah, ah, I know what I said back there was uncalled for and I'm here to apologize. Steve talked with me and I realized that what I said really hurt you and for that, I am very sorry."

"Thank you..." she whispers.

"Now I didn't come here just to apologize, I wanted to help you get your mind off of things too, so," he says and ducks out into the hall for a second. He then returns pulling a cart loaded with what might as well have been a fully stocked bar.

Emma can't help but laugh at the gesture. "So you came here to drink away our problems?"

"Not drink them away, just pretend they aren't here for a while," he tells her while closing the door.

"Is Steve coming?" Emma asks.

"No, he can't drink his feelings like you and I can, so he's blowing off steam in other ways. All of this isn't sitting well with him. He can try and hide it, but I can tell he's hurting."

"I would be concerned if he wasn't," Emma tells him as she grabs a glass from the cart and fills it a bit with liquor, topping it off with soda. She then sits on her bed and pats it, inviting Sam to sit with her. Sam shoots her a look of confusion and she laughs, "Not like that, you ass. I just want to drink and play video games and this is the best vantage point to see the screen."

"Got it," Sam laughs as he rolls the cart to be beside him so he can play bartender for the night.

As Emma boots up her game console, Sam says, "I hate to keep bringing it up, but you really do agree with us about the Accords though right?"

"Yes, I do. With all my heart. And that's why I have to resign, because I agree with you guys." Emma pauses for a moment and takes a drink before saying, "There's just so much that goes into the UN. With what they're wanting to do and with how many countries are involved, hundreds could be dead before we would even be given the clear to go do our job. How I see it is that it's all political. They say it's about saving lives, but I just can't see how. I think everyone just wants to save face, be the ones doing 'the right thing.' Well, I think it's all bullshit."

"Wow, you really did think this through, didn't you?"

"That's what I was trying to tell you," Emma tells him and lightly punches him. "They all know how many lives are saved every time the Avengers go out, they see the footage I've gotten through the years. I just wish it didn't come back to bite us in the ass..." She sighs heavily before throwing back the rest of her drink and handing the glass to Sam.

"Hey, no one's saying this is on you," he tells her as he hands her glass back once it’s refilled.

"Well I am," Emma retorts as she loads up a game for them to play, Mario Kart of course. "I know for a fact that you all saw my watermark in the footage that Ross used in that meeting, and even if no one's saying it out loud, my mind is telling me that I'm to blame for this mess."

"Try not to listen to those thoughts, okay?"

"It's just hard not to slip into that mindset when everything seems to be crashing down around me," she tells him while they choose their carts for the game.

Sam takes forever to customize his cart, so while he does, Emma finishes off her second drink. When she gets up to get herself another, Sam laughs. "Okay speed demon. Since when did you drink like this?"

"Since everything I've worked so hard for seemed to start to slip away, Wilson," she tells him. Emma makes her way back to her side of the bed with the bottle of liquor in one hand and the soda in the other, not wanting to get back up to get more later. She settles back into the bed and clicks start on the game so they can begin the round.

"Game on," Sam tells her.

The two sit and play the game for a few minutes while drinking, and Emma starts to slip up while trying to concentrate on the game and her conversation at once. "You know what I just don't understand?" Emma asks as she falls off the map once again.

"How you and alcohol do not mix well with Mario Kart?" Sam asks with a laugh.

"I mean sure, but that's not what I had in mind," she says back. "What I had in mind was who in the hell does Ross think he is asking Steve about where Thor is? The man is the literal God of Thunder, how and why does Ross expect us to keep tabs on him?"

"Right, it's not like they have the ability to email us from Asgard," Sam agrees.

"Exactly! And furthermore, does he really think that Thor Odinson would be okay with anyone telling him where he can and can't fight?"

"No, he would not be okay with that," Sam replies as they finish the map with Emma in last place. He decides to take a jab at Emma and jokes, "Wow I didn't know you were such a lightweight, Ems."

"Some of these maps are hard sober, okay?" Emma defends herself. The next map starts and she is left staring hard and silent at the screen as she tries to concentrate but can't as she falls off the map yet again.

Veering off-topic because of the buzz catching up to her, Emma says aloud, "You know, it sucks seeing Steve in so much pain."

"Tell me about it."

"He's just been through so much lately. First the Accords possibly take away his right to Avenge and then the possibility of them taking away his shield if he doesn't cooperate... And then on top of that the woman he loved for so long dies. He can't catch a break and it isn't fair. He doesn't deserve this kind of pain. He can hide it all he wants with that damn stoic look of his, but he's definitely hurting a lot more than he lets on. What I did earlier probably didn't help..."

"Yeah, I get what you're saying," Sam tells her as he loses his first-place position to concentrate more on the conversation at hand.

"I just..." Emma pauses for a beat to choose her words carefully, but at this point, her filter is gone. “I wish he knew how much I love him...maybe that could help take away some of his pain or at least give him an outlet to go to that isn't those poor punching bags.”

A bit more sober than Emma is, Sam takes time to process Emma's words before responding with a smirk, "I totally knew you were into him!" He pauses and then curses, "Damn, now I owe Nat five bucks..."

Emma pauses the game and disregards the second comment for now, saying, "Well of course I'm into him. He's one of the kindest, most caring, and genuine people I've ever met. He does this job and saves people's lives because he knows it's the right thing to do." Emma pauses and giggles before adding, "Not to mention he looks damn good while doing it." After saying this, she asks, "Wait let's go back, did you say you made a bet on me?"

"Yes, yes we did, and you just lost Wanda and me five bucks each," Sam replies.

"So what was this bet?"

"It was just us betting on who would admit their feelings first. Wanda and I bet on Steve because I mean, come on, he's one of the most confident and brave guys I know, and no offense, Ems, but you're...well you."

Emma laughs a bit but then her demeanor changes to be a bit more somber. "Well, it's not like the bet will mean anything anyways."

"What do you mean by that?"

"It's not like he has feelings for me."

"Emma, there's no way he doesn't have feelings for you. You can't tell me you haven't felt the tension between the two of y'all."

"I guess I just thought I was projecting," she replies, taking the last drink from her cup.

"I'm willing to bet it isn't that."

"Oh, well, now I know you aren't afraid to make a bet on me," Emma tells him.

Sam chuckles as Emma pours herself another drink. "So why don't you say anything to him?"

"Are you kidding me? He's Captain freaking America, the literal definition of perfection, and I'm just plain old me. Not to mention my shitty past when it comes to relationships... Then there's how my father treated me all my life... Overall, relationships and admitting feelings just...don't come easy to me after all of that."

"Well he was a boy, she was a girl, can I make it any more obvious?" Sam asks teasingly.

Emma cringes at the reference and tells him, "I'm also just afraid to ruin our friendship...if I make a move and he doesn't feel the same way then I risk things being super weird after and I don't know if I would be able to handle that." She pauses and then continues, "Plus, you saw how he reacted when Peggy died, he still loves her..."

"Ems, he's hurting so much because she was one of his only connections to the past. Barnes is still at large so she was the only one left. Of course he's gonna be hurt over her passing, but who's to say he doesn't have feelings for you?" Emma thinks about the words as she takes another long drink from her glass. When she takes the glass away from her lips, Sam chuckles and takes away the bottle and glass saying, "I think it's time for you to stop while you're ahead before you start telling me all your dirty little secrets like whose poster you made out with as a teenager."

Emma laughs as she leans her head back against her headboard, feeling like she was spinning. "I just wish I had the guts to tell him how I feel."

"Maybe soon," Sam tells her as he stands up from the bed, slightly tipsy, but gaining his footing quickly. He thinks for a second before saying, "You know, you're a lot more fun to drink with than Steve or Nat."

"I thought you said I was a lightweight," Emma replies.

"Oh you totally are, but at least you get drunk and tell me your secrets. Nat keeps hers even drunk and the only thing I've ever seen come close to getting Steve buzzed was that ale Thor brought from Asgard that one time."

Emma laughs as she stands up to change into her pj's, almost falling over in the process. Sam laughs at her as he helps her into the bathroom to change, standing outside the door to make sure she doesn't fall down. When Emma reemerges dressed in her pj's, she says to Sam, "Justin Timberlake." In response, Sam sends her a quizzical look. "You asked whose poster I made out with when I was younger. The answer is Justin Timberlake."

Sam can't help but laugh as he asks, "So I see you have a thing for blondes with nice jaw lines?"

"Shut up," Emma says with a blush on her cheeks.

"Well it's getting late," Sam says, checking the clock that reads 1:20 am. "It's been a fun night, but I'm gonna call it."

"Well thank you for letting me rant and drink away my feelings," Emma tells him with a smile. "I really needed it."

"I bet you won't be saying that in the morning," Sam replies as he heads to the door to leave.

"That's a fun fact about me, Sam. I can get blackout drunk and the next morning I won't have a hangover. It's actually really nice," Emma tells him, pride in her voice at the genes she inherited from Grammie’s side of the family.

"We'll see in the morning, you did quite a bit of drinking tonight," he replies as he turns to shut the door. "Goodnight, Baker."

"Goodnight, Wilson," Emma replies as he shuts the door. She then crawls into her bed and turns off the lights, hoping to get some shuteye after the events of the day.

“Oh, darling,” Stolas drawled, voice honeyed with condescending venom. “It truly wounds me to say this, but it appears you’re confused—likely from the severe lack of air reaching your brain. You see, I am the manager… of the clientele. And by that, I mean I’m the last thing standing between you and a lifetime of disappointment for calling me to solve your sad little coupon conundrum.” His tone sharpened, biting through the air with a feral undertone as he added, “So why don’t you save what’s left of your dignity and scamper off to complain to someone who doesn’t cringe at your unwashed energy?”

He gave a dark, humorless chuckle and whispered in a sugary tone, “And no, I’m not going to hold while you search for your last two brain cells. Good luck with that, by the way… so with that have a magical day.”

_____________________________________

Appearance / personality:

Stolas is tall and slender with a heart shaped facial disk (similar to a barn owl) and small black, slightly curved, beak. He has two pairs of almond-shaped red eyes, one set atop the other, with no visible irises or pupils, albeit white highlights do occasionally appear when he is excited. (On a side note, he also does wear guyliner mascara)

He has gray-blue feathers, which gradients to dark gray-blue on his head and long, plume-like tail. He has a lighter gray-blue puff of fur on his chest. His limbs are long, thin, and black, and his feet are tipped with owl claws.

Although he frequently changes clothes, Stolas is often seen wearing a deep red tunic with six linked golden buttons down the breast, and beige breeches.

He accessorizes with a feathery tophat that features a regal gold crown encircling it, as well as a long burgundy cape, tattered at the hemline, with a plush ermine-look fur collar, and long black gloves with white feathered trims at the elbows.

Human form (formerly):

In Stolas’s human disguise, he has light white skin. His hair is a light grey. His sclerae are white yet retain the red irises.

His outfit changes (form his regalia when in demon form) to a red tunic with greyish puffy sleeves and a red bow tie

Demon form (formerly):

Stolas in his demonic form is black and red, and slightly larger than he is in his standard form. Everything else changes except for his eyes which pretty much stay the same

When he opens his beak he has more demonic-like sharp teeth and a prominent forked tongue

Trivia:

2x02 - Seeing Stars

• Stolas is seen picking out sunglasses and placing them on top of his head. This action references his two sets of eyes, which are present in his natural demonic, owlish form.

<> Additionally, earlier in said episode, a reminder appears on Stolas’s phone for “Deal @ Ozzie’s” set for three days later. This strongly hints at a connection to the Asmodean Crystal, a theory later confirmed in the episode “The Full Moon.” and then was actually used by Blitz in the episode “Apology Tour” onwards

2x04 - Western Energy:

• At the end of the episode, it was revealed that Stolas—referencing a conversation from a couple of texts ago—was attempting to resolve the tension stemming from the incident at Ozzie’s with Blitz. Despite Blitz’s reluctance to address the issue directly, Stolas reassured him that their arrangement didn’t need to be transactional; Blitz could keep the grimoire, even for a longer period, without any expectation of intimacy. However, Stolas expressed a deep desire to see Blitz again, even as Blitz’s responses appeared indifferent.

That said, it’s worth considering the ambiguity of Blitz’s texts. Perhaps his brevity—like typing “y?”—wasn’t indifference but a genuine, albeit curt, question. Stolas might have been reading tone into the exchange, projecting more negativity than was intended. After all, Blitz didn’t begin to truly fall in love with Stolas until Season 2, Episode 2 (“Seeing Stars”), though the emotions were bubbling beneath the surface.

Adding another layer of complexity, we know Blitz has dyslexia, which likely affects his spelling and text style. His inability to write “why” clearly could inadvertently come across as “dry texting” to someone like Stolas. Whether Blitz was genuinely indifferent, struggling with his words, or simply misinterpreted remains unclear—something that can only be resolved when they finally talk it out. After all, tone is notoriously difficult to gauge over text.

• Stolas only calls Blitz by his preferred name out of either seriousness or appreciation

Stolas now addresses Blitz by his preferred name during face-to-face interactions, a meaningful shift that underscores a newfound respect for Blitz’s boundaries and desires—far more than what was evident in Season 1. The casual, unchecked use of “Blitzy” has given way to a more intentional and measured approach, signaling Stolas’s personal growth and emotional awareness in season two. This subtle, but deliberate, change reflects his understanding of Blitz’s comfort and autonomy, reinforcing their evolving dynamic.

(This reveals that he’s not as oblivious as we initially assumed. It suggests that he may be what I refer to as a “delayed thinker”—someone who doesn’t process or fully reflect on a situation until later. This trait, in turn, highlights his underlying intelligence, as it demonstrates a capacity for deeper thought and analysis over time as we’ve seen between 1x07 and all throughout S2 which has actually given him more than enough time to think about the events of his and Blitz’s relationship)

Yet, in Stolas’s phone contacts, “Blitzy” remains untouched— at the end of “Western Energy” episode — a quiet, sentimental holdover. It’s not an act of defiance against Blitz’s wishes but rather a personal comfort, a silent relic of the tenderness and history. He associates with the nickname. For him, that honorific contains memories of unguarded affection, longing, and the vulnerability of a time when he didn’t yet grasp the importance of earning trust or respecting boundaries. In this small, private space, (such as caller ID) “Blitzy” is a reminder of his journey, a bittersweet echo of the love he still holds and hopes to nurture with greater care.

2x05 - Unhappy Campers

N/A

2x06 - Oops (cameo)

This episode marked the beginning of Stolas’s character growth from his Season 1 personality. He likely began to subconsciously self-actualize when he arranged the meeting with Ozzie to obtain the Asmodean Crystal, with the physical intention of giving it to Blitz later in The Full Moon episode.

<> Given that Stolas in Season 1 would have never considered letting Blitz go (as harsh as that sounds, it’s probably true), this moment becomes even more significant. It took almost the entire season — minus two episodes — for Stolas to come to the realisation that it was morally wrong to hold the grimoire (the key to his business) over Blitz’s head.

• Stolas mentioned in this episode— albeit very briefly—that he’s a fast reader. Considering he has four eyes, that makes perfect sense, as he likely takes in information at a quicker pace. Pair that with his evident love for wordplay, and it paints a pretty vivid picture of his character. I mean, the man bird could not be any more autistic if he tried 😂

2x07 - Mammon’s Magnificent Musical Mid Season Special (ft Fizzarolli)

N/A

2x08 - The Full Moon

It has been observed that when Stolas experiences intense emotions, tears flow from both sets of his eyes, not just the lower pair as depicted in the episode “Ozzie’s.” This detail highlights the depth of his emotional vulnerability, suggesting that his physiology reflects the intensity of his feelings. The dual tears may symbolise the overwhelming nature of his sorrow or emotional release, adding another layer of complexity to his character and further emphasising his expressive, otherworldly nature.

Even more significant is the appearance of Stolas’s white pupils (not counting episodes post 2x11 😂), a visual cue that only manifests during moments of profound emotional impact. This subtle yet powerful detail underscores the depth of Stolas’s connection to Blitz, as his white pupils are typically reserved for instances where his emotions—whether love, desire, or heartbreak—reach their peak. Together, these visual elements not only deepen the portrayal of Stolas’s character but also show how strongly his feelings affect his appearance and behavior.

2x09 - Apology Tour

• Despite Stolas’s quip, “So, what are you doing here then?” after Blitz dismissed relationships as “boring,” there’s a definite hint of playful teasing—like Stolas is poking at something just under the surface. It’s as if, for all his obliviousness, Stolas isn’t entirely clueless; he seems to sense that Blitz might have feelings for him deep down. Stolas may be dramatic (as any theatre kid can get 😂) and a bit naive, but he’s not stupid, and this moment feels like a mix of curiosity and gentle prodding, as if to say, ‘You’re not fooling me—at least, not completely’ or something along those lines. Blitz, of course, isn’t ready to acknowledge it, let alone say it out loud.

Although, since the episode “Mastermind” came out, I’d say Stolas is pretty damn close to figuring it out — once he is out of his depressive state that is — after all, actions speak louder than words. 🤭 Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if Blitz finally admitted his feelings and Stolas just looked at him knowingly, as if to say, “I know—it took you long enough.”

• Knowing Blitz’s preference for people dropping the “o” from his name, Stolas still pronounced it when reading out Verosika’s invitation to the Anti-Blitzo party. It was most certainly an intentional jab fuelled by the rising tension between them.

Given their dynamic, and current relationship, it’s easy to imagine Stolas doing it to irritate Blitz, in the same way Verosika would do it prior to this episode ending, though it’s a detail that likely won’t come up unless they address it in conversation.

How do I know this? Because after the “Mastermind” episode, Stolas immediately reverted to using the name “Blitz” — without adding the ‘o’ to his name — So, it was undoubtedly a deliberate choice on his part

• Stolas saying “I don’t look down on you!” might come across as contradictory, but I think it stems from a lack of awareness rather than intentional condescension. He genuinely doesn’t realise how his words or tone come across to Blitz because it’s all he’s ever known. Growing up in a privileged, high-ranking family, Stolas was likely surrounded by attitudes and behaviors that normalised speaking down to imps and others of lower status. It’s

<> This is similar to how someone—particularly an autistic person—might unintentionally use a “rude” or blunt tone without realizing it because they aren’t perceiving the social cues in the same way others do. Stolas isn’t necessarily trying to be dismissive or superior; he simply lacks the self-awareness to recognize how his upbringing and habits influence his behavior toward Blitz. His intentions and his delivery don’t always align, which creates this dissonance.

This mindset is clearly ingrained in Stolas, even if he doesn’t consciously acknowledge or share those prejudices. This is particularly evident in the episode “Loo Loo Land,” where a Young Octavia is depicted surrounded by commoners at the circus—a stark contrast to Stolas’s own upbringing, during which he was kept separate from them by his father on his birthday in the episode “The Circus”

• Stolas drops his formal tone, saying “wanna” instead of “want to” when telling Blitz what he wants in their relationship.

<> On that note it was understandable that Stolas — when emotionally overwhelmed he has aphasia

2x10 - Ghostfuckers

N/A

2x11 - Mastermind

Stolas, who’s usually so eloquent and advanced sometimes shows his emotional vulnerability in unexpected ways. When he’s exceptionally distressed or overwhelmed, his smooth, sophisticated speech starts to falter— he stumbles over words, breaks sentences, and even makes little grammar mistakes (for example he actually said ‘I got banish-ed’ in “Mastermind”) . For someone who takes such pride in being refined and well-spoken, these moments stand out. They make his turmoil feel all the more real and relatable, revealing a raw, tender side of him that’s rarely seen beneath his usual composed and otherworldly exterior.

• Since getting banished and being stripped of his title and powers, Stolas’s eyes change in a big way—his once pupilless, otherworldly gaze, now has permanent white pupils (similar to whenever he had intense emotions during a certain scene all throughout S1 and S2; obviously, prior to “Mastermind” ). This shift is a pretty major contrast to how he used to look and seems to show just how much losing his status has affected him (not just emotionally but physically as well in regards of both eyes and hair whilst everything else basically stays the same). What’s interesting is that this seems to be unique to Goetian royals like Stolas, since Stella’s side of the family and even Octavia never had pupilless eyes to begin with. It makes you wonder if those, supernatural eyes are tied directly to their power and authority— once it’s gone, they start to look a little more… mundane

<> However, I do briefly theorise, that Stolas’s current status will likely transform his speech patterns as well. Since he is no longer royalty, (or at least for the next 100 years; which is probably a month and a bit or perhaps even less than that — judging by Andrealpus saying ‘What? NO!’ — in Hell’s timeline) but during that period Stolas would, probably, eventually drop the formalities and begin speaking more like a commoner. For instance, instead of saying “you are,” he might shift to “you’re,” and so on.

Or he might not — considering he does in actual fact love words and witticisms; and it’s just part of his personality that will never change despite being a civilian now (we’ll have to see in the next episode)

2x12 - Sinmas (finale)

• Stolas had still maintained his formal speech — albeit with a bit more vulgarity as he navigated the five stages of grief after coming off his meds — though his appearance now mirrors hat of a commoner.

• After Stolas attempted to call his daughter by using Blitz’s phone, Octavia contact appeared as “Dad [Shitty boyfriend’s phone],” which could hint at a developing father/daughter dynamic between her and Blitz as the season progresses.

Similarly, Blitz’s contact for Octavia is saved as “Via (Stolas’s bird daughter),” which is sweet, as he uses the same nickname Stolas does. This detail might further support the theory of a growing bond between Blitz and Octavia.

• The Karen client’s request for an assassination felt a little too close to home — literally — for Stolas (and, let’s be real, Blitz too) when she hired I.M.P to take out her cheating husband. The request sent Stolas into a spiral of panic, depression, and a hint of suicidal ideation as he wailed that cheaters like the client’s husband — a clear projection of his own guilt — didn’t deserve to live.

• Stolas finally got to live out his fantasy — playing the damsel in distress while Blitz swooped in like a knight in shining armor to rescue him from Andrealphus. Naturally, they capped it off with a romantic kiss in the middle of the battle with his (ex)-brother-in-law.

• Back at Blitz’s apartment, after Loona had her friends over and pulled out the drinks, Stolas noped out the second he saw alcohol — really showing how much he’s struggling with even being around it.

• Stolas leaned away from Blitz’s outstretched hand — but didn’t fully pull back, especially when Blitz gave his shoulder a reassuring squeeze. He was still feeling guilty about Octavia’s whole “you don’t love Mama, you don’t love me, you love HIM” thing.

Although — that guilt wasn’t hitting as hard anymore (hello, acceptance), which kicked in the moment he and Blitz shared an intimate dance — complete with mild flirting about their height difference that had Stolas laughing by the end. It was a little reminder that even though he felt like he lost his relationship with his daughter, he still had Blitz and their growing romantic connection.

No one asked me, but I think I know where the other anon got the Austin Powers claim from. I don't know if Viv said it to fans, but there was an audio clip with Stolas's original VA, Brock Baker talking about working on the Helluva Pilot and he said Viv brought up Austin Powers being loose inspiration for Stolas, when discussing the character with him; the reason he has a British accent. Stolas was originally more daring, horny, unfiltered, and eccentric vs what we have now. I can't say where the audio clip came from or if it's still up. Some speculate it might have been from one of the hunicasts, while others think it was a group call in a discord server.

Thanks for the information Anon. I tried to search for this Austin Powers/Stolas information but I couldn’t find anything. The BLM Hunicast stream that featured Brock didn’t have any mention of Austin Powers.

So, it’s most likely in a private group call. However, it is interesting to see Brock voicing Stolas in the old sneak peek animatics. Very different vibe compared to Bryce.

[petitprincess1]

My biggest thing abt ppl complaining about the new voices for the main cast is.

Do y’all not remember how Brock Baker was the voice of Stolas in the pilot, and then Bryce Pinkham is now Stolas and is DOING A FANTASTIC JOB AT IT 😤😤 way better than what in my opinion, than Bryce could have done for Stolas.

But we barely know these characters beyond a surface area and we have yet to see their true potential. We don’t even know if character traits or ideals from the pilot will be kept in the actual show! Idk it irritates me a lot that so many people won’t even give the new cast a chance. :(

First, I think what you meant was "what Brock could have done for Stolas" and I completely agree. There's so many emotional scenes that I just can't imagine going over as well with Brock's voice. Not to say he isn't a good VA, just maybe not for Stolas. Plus, his voice is just a little too deep. Bryce is perfect.

Second, for the characters' personalities, that's not how that works. Why would they change? Vivzie is very particular and strict about her characters, so it's incredibly confusing as to why she would change their personalities. Judging simply by the character redesign images, the personalities seem pretty well intact to me. I understand designs will often change from the pilot to the actual, but it's not too often that the personalities change. Especially from a pilot that's already "aired".

Also, if their goals/ideals change...that ruins the whole plot of the show. Can't imagine Alastor suddenly wanting to be pure and helpful with the hotel or Charlie changing her mind about redemption as a possibility.

[chaifootsteps]

Why were Millie and Stolas's pilot VA's changed anyway? I heard Stolas's was a sex pest but I'm not sure

The only thing that happened with Brock Baker was he had consensual sex with a girl who was over 18 (they both admit this point), she accused him of abusing her, he said he didn't, and neither of them had any proof whatsoever. But in hindsight, I think it gave Vivzie an excuse to swap him out for a Broadway actor. It also had a lot of the fandom screaming "Believe victims, no questions!" and funny how that went out the window the second it was Vivzie herself in the hot seat.

Millie was just Erica and the excuse Vivzie gave at the time was that she didn't like it when actors played more than one role, which we know now to be absolute bullshit. I don't know if it was an issue with Erica herself or again, Vivzie just wanting someone from Broadway, but for me, I remember that being my first realization that as to how blatantly she would lie to the fanbase.
