HELLUVA BOSS 2.12 - Sinsmas

[hooffuloftootsierolls]

Ugh fuck ass birds (the sequel)

I can't tell whether I like Octavia better with Stolas's pale blue-gray or Stella's white

Concept redesigns for my (currently mental) rewrite

[rosyborealis]

I’m really starting to dislike Octavia after Sinsmas. I get that she’s a sheltered, naive rich girl and she’s only seventeen, but understanding her unreasonable behavior doesn’t mean I have to like it. Her dad lost custody of her as a result of saving his boyfriend(?)’s life!! Her reaction of “you chose him over me” is unbelievably self-centered when the only other outcome would’ve been Blitzø literally dying!!

She’s either reacting incredibly rashly without actually looking at the whole picture, or she fully would rather have Blitzø die?!?

I’d feel a whole lot better about her reaction if we saw a bit more of how her mother is actually framing the situation to her. Does Octavia even know that Blitzø was about to be executed? Has her mother been instilling anti-imp prejudice in her that would make her unfeeling towards Blitzø’s death? We don’t know! The only thing we actually see Stella or Andrealphus do as far as influencing Via about the situation is openly laugh at the fact Stolas is repeatedly trying to call her. If anything, for Via, that should be more of a red flag about Stella and Andrealphus than about Stolas!

Don’t even get me started on her reaction to the happy pills!! Absolutely zero concern or care for her own father, just a completely self-centered reaction of “are you taking these cause I wasn’t enough for you?” What the fuck kind of reaction is that!!! Yes she’s young and sheltered, but she’s almost an adult and she shouldn’t be this lacking in compassion for her own father who is one of the closest loved ones she has!! (I’ve known many people, myself included, who were much more caring at 17 and younger, so I don’t personally feel like her age is a valid excuse for her behavior)

The signs and clues that always pointed towards Stella being a shitty mother to Octavia.

A revamp of an old post that I really should've gotten to earlier but hey, I'm in the mood now to catalogue literally everything pointing to Stella being a shit and neglectful mother.

Evidence 1: S1 E2.

Pay attention to the fact that Stella is not concerned in the slightest about the fact that Octavia is very clearly upset and is actively calling for both her and Stolas, which is very obviously seen by the fact by she makes Stolas deal with Octavia, not even bothering to even move a muscle to help calm Octavia down, already showing us our first signs of Stella being a neglectful mother towards Octavia.

Plus, Octavia's nightmare was specifically about her not being able to find Stolas, Stella wasn't involved in the nightmare at all, which I believe was another very intentional writing decision to subtly point to how little Stella is involved in Octavia's life.

To add onto this, look at some of the drawings that Octavia drew as a child that we see in the same episode, pay close attention to the rightmost drawing, we see a drawing of both Stolas and Octavia, but what I find interesting is the fact that we don't see Stella in any of the drawings at all, in pictures like that drawn by young children you'd normally expect the whole family to be in the picture or there to be another drawing including Stella, but we don't see that happen at all, we only see a drawing of specifically Octavia and Stolas, also giving us another clue that Stella isn't involved in Octavia's life much.

This appears to be a pattern as well, in Sinsmas we see yet another drawing of specifically her and Stolas, with us still not having any drawings of Stella, only Stolas.

Which I believe shuts down the argument that I've heard before that goes something like 'there could be more drawings that we haven't seen yet', because the team is 100% making it a recurring pattern that Stella is suspiciously absent from Octavia's life for the most part, as we can infer from these drawings.

Evidence 2: Literal fucking child abuse.

I think we can all agree that this section of s1 e2 is just Stella blatantly committing domestic violence against violence against Stolas, not even bothering to give a single fuck that Octavia is awake and is actively witnessing the event go down, showing us even further how self-centered and neglectful Stella is,

and giving us airtight evidence of Stella committing child abuse, by actively abusing Stolas right in front of her.

Evidence 3: Stolas' assassination plot.

Other than the fact that Stella is completely willing to rob her own child out of a caring and loving father to fuel her own self-centered agenda without even a second thought, as is most obviously seen by this scene where Stella literally screams that she wants Stolas dead right in front of Octavia as well. (The fact she was wearing headphones is entirely irrelevant to the point I'm making, she still said all of that right in front of Octavia.)

Which very clearly shows us just how self-centered Stella is, and how little she actually cares about Octavia's feelings as well.

Which is something we see happen again in that conversation with Andrealphus in s2 e4, alongside not giving a single fuck about how Octavia might feel if her dad is killed, we also see that Stella literally did not even consider Octavia into her self-centered assassination plan before this point, so forget about Stella caring for Octavia emotionally, she never even really considered Octavia in a practical sense as well, because truth be told, I cannot attribute that moment in the show happening purely because Stella is just being stupid.

It very clearly shows that Stella is purely interested in what she wants, her own agenda.

Evidence 4: "You leave with Via on weekends."

We never see this get expanded on at all, it's literally just that and nothing else, we don't hear any specifics of what Stella does with Octavia while she has her for the weekends, which if we consider how Stella behaved during the whole of Sinsmas, it really points to the fact that Stella did not make any attempt to bond with Octavia at all while she had her over the weekends, instead just choosing to her own shit while leaving Octavia to her own devices all the time, showing even further how absent Stella is in Octavia's life.

Not to mention Stella literally sidetracks that line from Stolas with "I like tormenting you."

Evidence 5: "What? No! I'm not turning her against you--"

Let's be real here, we all know that Stella doesn't care for Octavia, not to mention that Stella was already screaming at Stolas over petty shit before this, so it's pretty obvious to me that Stella is not actually worried about Stolas turning Octavia against her, it just screams like she's using that as a weaponized statement of sorts against Stolas instead of actual concern.

Plus, that's very clearly also just Stella projecting like crazy, as we can see by the fact that Stella is literally just insulting Stolas right in front of Octavia as well, calling him a deadbeat in this scene.

Evidence 6: "I'm glad one egg fell out of me."

The fact that Stella called Octavia as "an egg" has always irked me, like, out of any possible way she could've phrased that statement she chooses the one way that refers to Octavia as "an egg", instead of saying something like her name or her daughter for instance, which even furthers points to me that Stella does not care for Octavia at all.

Plus, this is also a pattern, we see a very similar event play out in Sinsmas as well.

Instead of saying something like Octavia's name or our daughter for instance, she chooses to say "his daughter", Stolas' daughter, which really gives me the impression that Stella doesn't even consider Octavia to be her daughter, something that appears to be further backed up by the fact that Stella referred to Octavia as "an egg" in s2 e1.

You could argue against this point, but personally I really think it was an intentional decision to have Stella say "his daughter" for this exact reason.

Evidence 7: The portraits.

The main example here has to be the Loo Loo Land picture, and I say that because of the fact that you can see Stolas actually be happy in this picture, while if you look at Stella, that smile is barely there for her, like she's forcing herself to smile.

Plus, you can see the fact that she also has her arms crossed, which while I could be reading into this a bit too much, I believe further points to the fact that Stella is not happy to be at Loo Loo Land with Octavia at all, and is forcing herself to smile as a result.

Plus, in Sinsmas we also see quite a few new portraits involving Stolas, Stella and Octavia.

Let's look at the first one, we see something extremely similar to the Loo Loo Land picture, we see that smile from Stella that appears to be barely there while Stolas has the whole open mouth smile thing going on with him, and she's also crossing her arms in that portrait as well, further pointing me to the fact that Stella doesn't even want to be in those family portraits at all, which really points me to the conclusion that Stella doesn't care to be in Octavia's life at all unless necessary for whatever reason.

Plus, I want you to pay attention to the 2nd and 3rd portraits here, pay attention to the fact that while Stolas' smile fades significantly with each progressing picture, Stella's smile seems to grow and grow, which if we remember the line of "I like tormenting you.", very clearly shows us that Stella is taking joy in beating Stolas down, taking joy in tormenting Stolas on a daily basis, not because she actually cares for Octavia at all, she is smiling in those two portraits because she takes joy in tormenting Stolas and nothing else, further showing just how self-centered and cruel Stella really is.

Evidence 8: Parental Isolation.

Again, let's look at this scene early on into the Sinsmas episode, we see Stella completely snatch and confiscate Octavia's phone from her the moment Stolas tries to call her in order to make contact with her following the Mastermind episode, and we know that Stella has never given Octavia her phone back at all during the month that passes in this episode, considering that Stella says that Stolas has been trying to reach Octavia for a whole month, and the fact that when we see Octavia again later on in the episode, instead of having her phone, we see her holding some sort of music player that really looks like an iPod.

Which in turn, shows us that Stella is employing a parental isolation tactic by preventing Stolas from making contact with Octavia via phone calls and/or messages. It is also completely irrelevant to discuss the specific reasons as to why Stella did this as well, what actually matters is the fact that Stella confiscated Octavia's phone from her, which in turn, helps to prevent a method Stolas had to easily make contact with Octavia, which in turn makes me believe that this is a parental isolation tactic that Stella used here.

With parental isolation also being commonly referred to as a form of child abuse as well.

So in conclusion, I have pointed to a number of different ways throughout the show that shows just how much Stella was absent in Octavia's life, alongside her also being neglectful and abusive towards Octavia as well.

extremely hungover so i think i shall binge watch helluva boss. a good day for me

[drama-glob]

It's just so sad to see Octavia's view of Stolas morph from a beautiful bluish-purple cosmos to a dark silhouette/shell of what she knew. I know Stolas's demon form is black with red eyes, but seeing him look so apathetic or acting like she's an inconvenience to him is what really gets me, and the last one makes him especially look tattered or that he's crumbling/fading away, possibly to reflect the line where she's wondering is he's just another ghost. :(

I do love how in the first three, we see Stolas is her light with the edges of him even animated to be like he's on fire (at least that's how they look to me), and since he looks like a galaxy as well as they both have a love of astronomy, I could see it be him representing being her guiding star too. Then when Blitz enters the picture and he takes on this dark appearance, the edges look more like his feathers falling off or like I said before that he's burning/crumbling away. The fact that Blitz looks like he has a devious smile while he wraps his tail around Stolas (who's blushing by the way) further shows how Octavia views Blitz being the evil one who seduced her dad and took/coerced him away from her. It's also sad that the only time Stolas smiles during this bit is when Blitz enters the picture, so it's definitely telling how she see Stolas is only happy with Blitz and not with her despite us knowing the truth of how much he loves her and wants to be with her. ;_; ;_; ;_;

[dorkycreature-89]

rip carlo

you would've loved octavia from helluva boss

[voidsquidd]

Octavia's character is actually so well written like

The first time we see her is her having a nightmare about not being able to find her dad in the palace no matter where she looked. Her fear is already clearly shown in her first appearance, and from then on every time we see her is her having that fear re-instilled

In loo loo land, Stolas is unable to understand how she is feeling, that she doesn't want to go to the circus with him (this is a trait Stolas has throughout the series where he cannot tell what other ppl feel, and viv has made posts hinting at this being an intentional character flaw). So not only is he dragging her somewhere she doesn't want to be but then makes it worse by inviting blitzø becuz he wants to spend time with him. We know Stolas could defend himself, it's clear he wants him there not as a body guard but becuz he genuinely wants him to be, ignoring how via may feel, ignoring why he was doing this to begin with. He just invited the guy he cheated on vias mother with to spend time with them while they went somewhere to try cheer her up, and via puts up with it the whole time.

And remember, she was awake when Stella was screaming abour Stolas cheating, she knows what's going on already. They didn't do anything to try and hide what happened from their daughter.

It's also implied that Stella has always yelled and been like this, since we see a picture of younger her in s2ep1. This is important to show how via has always been living in a dysfunctional household. Her mother reacts to issues by yelling and throwing things, potentially physical violence too, and Stolas has needed anti depressants since before he met blitzø again. While Via doesn't know about that, his depression is going to have affected the way he raised Via.

Both her parents are unable to cope with emotions in a healthy way and that will have caused her to struggle as well.

When she finally has enough during the ep and runs off, Stolas goes after her and talks to her but isn't able to tell her the real circumstances for the marriage, she doesn't know why her parents act the way they do, or why they don't love each other. she doesn't know why Stolas cheated with some other guy or why he invited him just to flirt with the whole time. She's scared her nightmare will come true, she always has been due to her unstable environment and now there is someone Stolas could leave with. That is terrifying for her, that is where she starts to hate blitzø.

And all Stolas can do is promise he won't, but he repeatedly fails to change his behaviour. It's shown in all episodes we see via play a large part in: Stolas does something wrong without thinking about via, ignoring her feelings, forgetting important dates, he apologizes but then goes on to do the same again and again.

That is not enough, that makes via lose trust in him, makes her wait for the next time he fucks up, for the next apology, for the cycle to continue. It is meaningless if he doesn't change.

But that's all Via has, Stella is shown to be mostly absent, not wanting anything to do with Via. If her dad leaves then she will have no one and she constantly feels like he could leave at any moment.

In loo loo land, he paid more attention to blitzø than her.

In seeing stars, when she saw him again after running away becuz of the divorce she was also now having to cope with (which she could easily blame on the cheating and blitzø), blitzø is there, and had been with Stolas the whole day

In sinsmas, blitzø is there when she went to find her dad, blitzø who was the reason this was happening to begin with in her mind, was the one Stolas was now spending all his time with

And let's talk about the divorce a bit more.

For 17 yrs she has had both parents present, even as toxic to each other as they are, Via had always lived with both of them. And now she won't. Now she has to get used to both of her parents separating, living away from each other, all the moving their stuff out, the arguments, procedures and the legal side.

Suddenly everything has changed, her fears are getting worse, nothing is stable in her life anymore. And at 17 too.

When a divorce happens when the child is young, they get used to it, their memories of it get vague over time, even if having seperate parents will always have its own issues, they get used to it and adapt better since young children are overall better at adapting to changes like this, they haven't developed their emotions properly yet and are unable to understand what's happening.

But she is 17, she has always had 2 parents, she isn't used to it, and by that age she is old enough to understand, to feel those emotions. She is dealing with a lot and her fathers continuous issues are getting to her.

And then mastermind happens

Stolas thinks he is going to die when he goes to save blitzø, when he claims to have committed crimes he never did.

Via watches him do this, she probably saw how they were about to sentence blitzø to death, and now her dad is taking the blame, believing he would die; she believes the same.

Her father, after promising he would never leave, after repeatedly messing up and leaving Via last, after prioritizing blitzø and getting carried away with him and focusing on him so much, after being unable to do anything but apologize only to do the same again until those apologies mean nothing.

He is going to permanently end his life, leave his daughter behind forever, for the guy Via was always scared of losing him to.

Her nightmare that she has always has is coming true.

Her dad is leaving her for someone else, we dont even see him think or speak about her while he is doing it, she doesn't cross his mind.

Her not being able to find him was her fear all throughout her life and she had told him multiple times, ask if he would, and he was still going to die for someone else.

And then he doesn't even remember to call her till the next day, and they can't even speak becuz Stella doesn't allow via contact with him.

She has to deal with not having her dad there, for a month. She is with Stella and Andy and unable to speak to her dad all month. He tries to call her but she can't answer and she feels more abandoned than ever. Her mother still seems uninterested in her. The only one who cared even a little bit about her is gone and she's all alone having to cope with how she feels, how much has happened.

She was right, after everything, after all her fears, after constantly feeling like he was close to leaving, the insecurity she dealt with her whole life became true and she was proven right. All her fathers promises mean nothing, they were empty and his actions never reflected what he said he would do.

She clearly misses him, but she expected this, she was just waiting for it to happen.

Then she finds the pills, realises how unhappy he was in the relationship and she goes to find him.

And when she confronts him, this is what she says.

"You lied to me, you said you would never leave me, you promised . . . It was your choice. You chose him . . . You don't love mother, you don't love me, you love him . . . So does that mean you just stayed miserable because of me? Was I some fucking obligation? Is that why you didn't even hesitate when you got a chance to leave?"

When Stolas asks to explain she just says she can't. This isn't her genuinely blaming him, she isn't mad at him really. She just can't handle that conversation. So much has been changing, her life's been more unstable than ever, she never had ppl in her life who could manage their own emotions and she is a teenager and struggling to manage her growing emotions already, and that lack of guidance only makes her ability to worse. She was never taught how, she cannot deal with how she is feeling and simply cannot stand to hear the explanation. Seeing Stolas is hard for her.

And what I think makes this scene even sadder is what Stolas says in s2ep1 to Stella:

"You and I were arranged for one reason, to birth a precautionary heir to the Goetia family . . . The only reason I have endured your constant insults and cruelty was for that girl to have a normal life . . . And the only thing the Goetia family wanted out of our marriage is already 17, so it's over, I'm done."

Via wasn't even wrong. Stolas said exactly what she is accusing him of, even if he didn't mean it like that, even if she didn't hear. Even if it was for him to explain to Stella why he was finally thru with it, why nothing she did could change his mind. He still said those things, he still left once he had a chance, he still chose blitzø.

He didn't leave Via once he got the chance, he left Stella, but in the end his actions still had an affect on Via, one that he once again failed to realise.

And Via doesn't have the full story either.

All she knows is her parents never loved each other and it always seemed like her dad would leave and she was always scared of that happening. Then suddenly he cheats and starts spending more time with the guy until he eventually almost dies for him without even thinking about her. And she finds out he needed pills, that he was miserable. And she's just so upset over it, so scared over the fact he almost did die, the fact everything she thought would happened did happen. She almost lost her dad and he didn't even say anything to her before going to get himself killed. He admits to being sad in the marriage, to Via being the only good thing, but Via's grown up in such a toxic environment, she misinterprets what he said, she feels like it's her fault he felt this way, and she doesn't even wait for any more apologies.

She's heard his all her life and they never meant anything, they were never a sign he would change, so why should she listen to another one while knowing it was just another lie?

She can't listen to that again.

[thegurlwhoisntthere]

Don’t mind me, I’m just thinking about how Octavia’s fear of abandonment isn’t something new that’s been brought on by the divorce.

No, from the first time we see her, as a literal baby child, she has had persistent nightmares about this exact fucking situation. When she sings in Sinsmas, she’s not singing about fears that she’s had for the last year or two, she’s singing about fears that have been plaguing her for literally her entire life. And worse, we know that her and Stolas’ powers are made for looking into the future, so it’s probable that those nightmares were just premonitions of this situation, which—

Which makes the hurt so much worse, because her nightmares would’ve been accurate.

So it makes sense that her fears haven’t been soothed completely in the episodes that she’s appeared in, especially when in every single one her father has been repeating the behaviors he said he wouldn’t. Of course she’d still have a little voice in her head telling her to keep waiting for the other shoe to drop. To keep vigilant, and when that voice wasn’t able to be silenced for a month because her father wasn’t there?

Yeah, Sinsmas hurt me deeply and continues to do so.

[madmanwonder]

(Ask, maou au, crossover au)

What did Makoto think of Loona after meeting her?

“Loona-san has a rather outspoken attitude.” Makoto answered with a sheepish expression.

[wolfmage553]

Helluva Boss/Once Upon A Witchlight Crossover AU

This AU basically has the plot of "What if Octavia was kidnapped and sent to the Once Upon A Witchlight universe where she was adopted and raised by Kremy and Gideon?"

Let's start with who would kidnap Octavia and why.

Andrealphus is the most likely culprit though another villain kidnapping Octavia wouldn't be out of the question.

His motive for kidnapping her? He wants Stolas' power and title, Octavia stands between him and getting Stolas' power and title when Stolas dies.

Why does Andrealphus banish Octavia instead of killing her? Because Octavia is his sister's daughter and he sees a lot of his sister in Octavia so he cannot bring himself to kill her because he cares for his sister (I think it's been confirmed that Andrealphus is gay so he isn't in love with his sister). Plus, killing Octavia would hurt his case for why he should have the powers and title.

Octavia gets banished to the Once Upon A Witchlight dimension, more specifically Prismeer, and ends up a short distance where Carnivàle Lecroux (or The Krew) camped for the night.

Octavia, being a scared and lost child, cries. Gideon, who was taking watch, overhears the crying and finds Octavia.

At first, Octavia cries harder and louder which wakes up everyone else at camp, but after she realizes that Gideon isn't a threat she calms down and allows Gideon to pick her up.

Kremy tells everyone to go back to sleep and that their first priority tomorrow would be finding the family of "this Aarakocra".

Gideon gives up his sleeping roll to Octavia and sleeps on the tent floor. Octavia has a nightmare and Gideon hums a lullaby his mother used to sing to him to get Octavia to go back to sleep.

In the morning, The party heads to a nearby town and asks around but nobody has any information on Octavia or her family. Some people assume that Octavia is Kremy and Gideon's adoptive daughter, which Kremy furiously corrects.

Torbek says that maybe knowing the name of the child they're trying to return might help them get answers. Octavia has a hard time pronouncing her own name so the group plays charades to figure out her name.

The clues are: Seven letters, music themed, first letter is O.

Kremy guesses Octavia's name correctly first try.

However, her name doesn't yield any answers.

They figure they'll have to ask around in other towns to find any answers.

The group stays at an inn to rest for the night.

The process repeats until a week passes with no answers.

The Krew come to the conclusion that Octavia's parents were likely murdered and that she was left to die in the forest by her parent's killers.

Of course, Gideon wants to adopt Octavia right away. Kremy, not wanting Octavia to be potentially caught in the crossfire of his choices and mistakes, tells Gideon that it'll be too dangerous to adopt Octavia so it'd be best to give her to a family that will look after her.

However, that proves to be a headache and a half as a lot of families don't want to adopt Octavia and circumstances beyond their control prevent any family that might want to adopt Octavia from doing so.

Kremy turns to his patron, Baron Samedi, for advice and Baron Samedi basically says "It seems like the universe wants you to keep this child with you. Whom knows, she might change your path for the better."

Kremy is salty about it but accepts the possibility. He tells what Baron Samedi told him to the rest of The Krew

Gideon is ecstatic to have an adoptive daughter while Gricko, Frost and Torbek accept their roles as uncles to Octavia. While Kremy is initially hesitant to get emotionally attached to Octavia, he does grow to love her as an adoptive daughter.

Of course, the quest still continues and fey curses still happen to the group. Once they woke Zybilna and got enough money to pay off Remy Garou (with interest), The Krew more or less ask themselves "What now?"

Kremy and Gideon decide that, after the amount of shenanigans they went through and after they finally revealed their true feelings for each other, a simple quiet life raising Octavia to adulthood is the life for them. They have a small vow renewal ceremony where Octavia is the flower girl and Hootsie is the ring barer before settling into their long overdue peaceful life.

However, Octavia doesn't remain an only child for long. Whether through some residue fey magic allowing Kremy and Gideon to have biological children or Kremy and Gideon simply adopting more orphaned children, Octavia ends up having lots of siblings who she loves.

Now that we've talked about Octavia's life with her adoptive dads, let's talk about the effects Octavia's disappearance has on her biological family and Hell itself.

The disappearance of a precautionary heir is unprecedented, let alone the heir of one of Paimon's children, so soldiers search every ring for any sign of Octavia in vain (due to her being banished to another dimension)

Since Octavia is missing, Stolas sees no point in remaining married to Stella and divorces her way earlier than in canon. He justifies it to Goetian society as the disappearance of his daughter dragging him into a dark pit that he doesn't want to drag his wife into.

Stolas does know from his grimoire that his daughter is still alive but that does little to bring him comfort knowing that, wherever she is, he cannot reach her.

Blitzo tries to steal the grimoire and Stolas, still depressed over his daughter's disappearance, doesn't stop Blitzo.

Blitzo actually stops because he recognizes the signs of depression in Stolas. The two talk about what's happened since they last saw each other and restart their friendship but don't start a romantic relationship.

Stolas does explain to Blitzo that he can't use the grimoire, as it's the only thing keeping him updated on his missing daughter, but he'll speak to Asmodeus about getting an Asmodean Crystal for Blitzo's new business.

At first, Fizzarolli forbids Stolas getting an Asmodean Crystal for Blitzo due to his past with Blitzo, but once Blitzo and Fizzarolli make amends he allows Stolas to get an Asmodean Crystal for Blitzo.

Of course, Stella and Andrealphus still try to kill off Stolas due to Andrealphus wanting Stolas' power and title.

Thankfully, I.M.P is spared from the Mastermind trial because Stolas didn't allow Blitzo to use the grimoire and only gave Blitzo an Asmodean Crystal, which is legally sound because Asmodeus himself gave the Crystal to Stolas knowing full well who it was going to and for what purpose it was gonna be used for.

However, Andrealphus gets too cocky at one point and lets it slip that he's the one who kidnapped and banished Octavia.

Remember the beat down Andrealphus received from Stolas during Sinsmas? Picture that but five times more brutal as it's fueled by the rage of a father who's been separated from his child for years only knowing that they are alive through a magical book.

Stella is just as pissed at Andrealphus for two reasons.

1) Octavia was her ticket to power and wealth and he made that ticket disappear.

2) Octavia's disappearance directly led to her favorite person to torment divorcing her.

Stolas asks Andrealphus where his daughter was banished to and Andrealphus reluctantly opens a portal to where he had banished Octavia to.

Blitzo and Stolas enter the portal in hopes to find Octavia. Zybilna, realizing that Stolas is Octavia's biological father, brings Stolas up to speed on what happened.

Octavia is now the age she is in canon and has more or less decided to become a bard in the traditional sense of the word (traveling around and singing songs to brighten people's moods and give them hope) with her favorite song to preform being a melody of You Will Be Okay and the lullaby Gideon passed down to her.

Stolas and Blitzo happen to be in a town Octavia is preforming at and Stolas overhears the melody. He sings along with the You Will Be Okay parts and father and daughter finally reunite after so many years apart.

Octavia decides to introduce her biological dad to her adoptive dads and adoptive siblings.

Stolas' goal initially was to bring Octavia home but he sees that she's already home with a loving family and a bright future ahead of her so he bids his daughter a farewell and an apology for not being able to be a part of her life due to his own duties before leaving. Kremy tells Stolas that, if he ever retires, there's always a guest bedroom ready for him.

Cue a very emotional reprise of You Will Be Okay entitled She Will Be Okay as Stolas and Blitzo make the trip home.

Stolas actually starts to feel a lot better and, after a bit more therapy for both Blitzo and Stolas, they actually start a healthy romantic relationship with Stolas accepting Loona as a potential step-daughter.

That's pretty much it for the AU plot-wise. I might have more when newer episodes of both Once Upon A Witchlight and Helluva Boss come out.

[uf-faux]

Some helluva boss sketches from a year ago when I was playing a lot of Nikke. I just thought the idea was cool.

(Also I was lazy and stole a gun from fortnite cause I didn't want to draw one for the doodle.)

[mochi-bella]

“And I’ll know that I was right to doubt you”

Sinsmas broke me, the amount of times I felt sad then happy back to sad and so forth was crazy. But I loved this episode, the songs especially.

And because I loved I will be okay, I decided to make something because I love Octavia.

[angelshizuka]

Think Andre will attempt to force Via into an arranged marriage as both to get rid of her and get back at her. This will be what forces her to see her father’s situation.

My theory is that Andrealphus is gonna try and stage an "accident" (or even assassination) for Octavia, because getting her out of the way, now that he realized she's not easily manipulated, is the only way he can keep a hold of Stolas' status/title.

I assume if an arranged marriage happens, it's more the Goetias in general forcing it, not Andrealphus specifically. Though, I'm ready to be suprised by whatever they have planned for s3.
