#octavia and stolas

[reylokisses]

I love the detail (that I just noticed) of how Stolas and Stella are drinking from champagne glasses, while Octavia has a regular glass, implying that they (Stolas and Stella) are drinking alcohol, while Octavia isn’t.

In spite of all their mistakes as parents, Stolas and Stella don’t give their minor daughter alcohol.

It’s good to know that poor Octavia got some care and nurturing from her parents!

Been rewatching HB and I am haunted by the passing gag in episode 2 where it shows Blitzo working at Loo Loo Land at the same time that Octavia visited as a child.

If Octavia ever finds out about her parents’ forced marriage, it will be completely nightmarish for her. I hope the show acknowledges that.

It will be traumatic for Octavia to find out that she is her beloved father’s rape baby and that, if there were any justice in Hell, she would never have existed in the first place.

It’s touching how much Stolas loves Octavia, even though it would be understandable if he couldn’t bear the sight of her. I hope the show explores that further!

When I think back to the Instagram accounts helluva boss used to have this one post always comes back to my mind. (yes I am aware that it's been stated that these accounts aren't 100% canon but that doesn't really change anything). The implications of this post are quite dark if you think about it for more than a second. Like where was this poster hung up at?

If it was the bedroom the constant reminder about the rape Stolas went through to have Octavia hits even closer to home, it'd still hit pretty hard like that anywhere else but it'd seem like it'd hit harder in the bedroom, where the rapes happened. It's just heartbreaking that it was deemed necessary for Stolas to have this poster as motivation to get through Stella raping Stolas to have Octavia.

I was thinking about what @iwannaplaybg3butimbroke @kityana and @timkontheunsure said about my Beatrice Horseman/Stella Goetia post, and on second thoughts, you’re right - Octavia definitely didn’t know about Stella’s abuse of Stolas.

In the brief glimpses we see of Stolas and Stella’s marriage before Stolas had an affair with Blitzø*, Octavia isn’t around when Stella is cruel to Stolas:

Stella probably didn’t want Octavia to know that she (Stella) was abusing Stolas, so that Octavia would think well of Stella and not turn against her.

Octavia’s line in Loo Loo Land points to this, as she says that, when she was a child, her parents “didn’t hate each other”.

Originally, I assumed that Octavia had to know about Stolas’ abuse, because otherwise the writers would be throwing her under the bus and blaming her for not sympathising with Stolas, but now I see that it’s the other way around.

Octavia remains sympathetic if she doesn’t know what Stolas has gone through. If she still blamed Stolas for breaking up the family even though Octavia knew how miserable Stolas was, that would make her selfish, but since Stolas and Stella have been keeping the abuse from her, then no one can blame her for that.

I’m defensive about Octavia, because I hate how some writers stereotype teenage girls and dismiss their pain and problems as trivial.

Divorce is traumatic, being a teenage girl is traumatic, and being emotionally neglected is traumatic as well.

The above scene is -so far- the saddest scene in all of Helluva Boss to me.

Stolas, Stella and Octavia are sitting down to eat together as a family, but they’re completely disengaged from each other.

Stolas is reading a book and ignoring Octavia, Octavia is listening to music, and Stella is ordering a hit on her own husband.

It’s interesting that neither Stella nor Stolas tell Octavia off for being rude and listening to music at the dinner table - either they’re so caught up in their own affairs that they haven’t even noticed, or they know how unhappy Octavia is with their family life, and they’re allowing Octavia her music as a coping mechanism.

I hope that Octavia and Stolas reconcile and are a happy family again eventually!

(*not that I blame him for it; he didn’t owe his abuser any loyalty, and Stolas wanted to divorce Stella right after his and Blitzø’s first encounter.)

dad???

guys i need more wholesome fanfic of octavia and stolas because good parenting please if you have any send it before i cry

[reylokisses]

I hope we get to see a flashback episode about Stella’s pregnancy and Octavia’s birth.

Was Stolas horrified at the prospect of fatherhood, and only saw “egg” as a duty?

Did he love his baby girl as soon as he laid eyes on her, or did he grow to love Octavia as she got older?

Also, does Stella care about Octavia? Was she unable to love Octavia, since she was forced to give birth to her? I’m excited to find out!

Stolas def printed that pic out and stuck it to a wall during a mental breakdown istg
