HB Critical Tweets!

It's a trope you usually find in the fanfics of teenage girls circa the early 2000s, but of course, Viv never grew out of it.

Can I just say thank you for making Stella? it’s so hard to find fat characters in media that are portrayed as beautiful and desirable, it means a lot to me that a character with my features is loved without any embarrassment and is so beautiful!!!

I am so happy you feel that way!! ♡ I think Stella is one of my most beautiful characters and it makes me so happy that others love her just as much!!

[dragonbma]

in reference to your post ^^

I hope you feel better soon! Take breaks when you need them, drink water, avoid stressing yourself, and stay healthy <3

Love your art btw, and can’t wait for the next chapter

They’ve done to Striker what they did to Stella

I just "love” it when genuinely interesting antagonists/villains turn into Team Rocket archetypes of “DOH I’LL GET YOU NEXT TIME!” (Shakes fist)

1, 2, 3, 10, 14, 15, 29 ask game for the ship brella, please!

1. My first impression of them

I thought they were cute! I was pretty much obsessed with them the minute they appeared on my TV screen. Their chemistry has always seemed so effortless and genuine, and I would get giddy over the tiniest interactions they had.

2. When I think I truly started to like them

I can't recall the exact moment when I truly started to like them, but I remember I was heavily invested in them quite early on. And, fun fact, they're actually the reason I joined the fandom and opened a Tumblr account. Which is somewhat crazy to reflect on since I highly doubt I would have ever joined Tumblr if not for them!

3. A song that reminds me of them

"Paper Rings" by Taylor Swift.

14. Best storyline they had

The entirety of the Mirror of Truth episode where Brandon helps Stella break the spell that had transformed her into a cross between an ogre and a frog. The storyline primarily focuses on her character development, but it also underscores a few points about her relationship with Brandon. First, the storyline establishes that their relationship is not skin-deep; they may be a little shallow and flippant at times, but they care for each other beyond looks or superficial characteristics. Brandon being there for Stella without being put off by her beast-like appearance and supporting her are a clear testament to this bond. Their actions in previous seasons have already made the depth of their bond evident, but this storyline is a nice little reminder for those who might still question it. Second, their relationship deepens further thanks to the gift Brandon gives her by the lake. I feel like people don't realize or talk much about the significance behind this gift. While it may appear to be just a plain compact mirror, Brandon shares that it's a family heirloom that has been in his family for generations. The fact that he wants her to have it now shows that he's in it for the long haul and wants her to be part of the legacy. I know it's a bit cheesy and cliché, but it's also just so them!

15. Worst storyline they had

I hate how the writers treated them in the later seasons, but I particularly detest the episode in season six where Stella acted like a spoiled brat on their anniversary. At no point, in any alternate universe, would Stella act like that. I'm not suggesting everything should or would be smooth sailing for them; however, the storylines in later seasons were clearly fueled by unnecessary drama and tired tropes instead of genuine character development.

29. How do you think they would be as parents?

I think they'd be very fun and loving parents! I imagine Stella would dedicate a lot of attention to her children, as that was something she was deprived of in her childhood. I picture her as the type of mother who frequently worries about her kids and gets upset if they don’t keep her updated on their lives. I think Brandon would adopt a slightly more laid-back approach, while still being very protective of their children and ensuring they have a good head on their shoulders. Overall, I think they would be very affectionate and supportive as parents and encourage their children to have an open outlook on the world.

due south for the fandom ask meme

my favorite female character: Victoria Metcalf. I find her fascinating and would love to read novel length fics about her pre and post Fraser life. I love a female villain in general, and I think Victoria is an example of a well done one. I love that she’s smart and competent, complex, and most of all, uncompromising. She does love (and hate) and want Fraser, but she’s not going to ‘go good’ for him. She doesn’t soften or learn the error of her ways, and I think that’s great. At the same time, I don’t think she’s portrayed as Pure Evil or cartoonish in her villainy, she’s still human.

my favorite male character: Ray Vecchio. For me, Ray is a case of if I loved him less, I could talk about him more. Idk, I just love him. I love how he grumbles and protests doing anything, but still goes along with everything – and usually ends up going above and beyond. I love how brash he can be. I love his fashion sense. I love how loyal and caring he is to everyone he loves. I love how he feels like a real, lived in character with real flaws to go along with all his good traits. I would like to write more, but again, thinking about him makes my brain overheat with love and meltdown.

my favorite book/season/etc: Season 1. Overall s1 was the best written and had the most cohesive character/story arc.

my favorite episode (if it’s a tv show): The Deal (THE Ray Vecchio episode) A big thank you to David Marciano for fighting for this one.

my favorite cast member: I guess I’d have to say Callum Keith Rennie (my birthday buddy!) as he’s the main reason I started watching the show in the first place. I’m more familiar with his work outside of due South than any other cast member. (However, my fixation on RayV has bled through into wanting to seek out more of David Marciano’s work - and listening to a few podcast interviews - so he’s catching up. I also love DM for fighting for RayV’s character. We wouldn’t have The Deal without him.)

my favorite ship: RayV/Fraser. THESE TWO!!! This ship just perfectly scratches at a very specific part of my brain. I love the way that Ray just instantly welcomes Fraser into his life, into his home (into his heart). The way he offers Fraser friendship and acceptance on a level that he’s probably not used to. I love that they have a sort of two sides of the same coin thing going on, how they are parts of a whole, how when they’re alone they are incomplete but together better than they are separately!!!

a character I’d die defending: Ray Vecchio. I’m lucky that I wasn’t around for the Ray Wars and didn’t have to fight against the ‘Ray Vecchio is Homophobic’ or ‘Ray Vecchio is a bad friend to Fraser’(LMAO) allegations that apparently were flung at him back then. I’ve encountered a bit of it in some fics and it makes me want to scream. (To be clear, I don’t mind if RayV has some internalized homophobic issues, I think that’s fair to explore, I’m talking about Ray being violent towards Fraser or refusing to be his friend if he’s gay type of thing. The stuff that is clearly written in bad faith towards RayV.)

a character I just can’t sympathize with: Hm, idk…maybe Pa Vecchio.

a character I grew to love: Meg Thatcher. I never disliked her, but I think I grew to appreciate her more in subsequent rewatches than on my first run through.

my anti otp: Hm, I’d have to say RayK/Stella, I guess, but only in an ‘endgame’ scenario. I actually find their relationship and history interesting and like reading about it in fics occasionally. I also love the idea of them reconnecting as friends because they are a very important part of each other’s lives. I just don’t like the idea of them rekindling their romance in any sort of permanent way. I think Stella makes it very clear that she doesn’t want to reconcile with Ray, so I hate to see that happen on her behalf. I feel like she had to work hard to put up boundaries to keep them from slipping back into old patterns, because while they clearly still care about each other, they’re ultimately not meant to be married. I think that’s why she tends to act so prickly towards Ray, to keep that wall up, and Ray might take any softness as encouragement. Also, I’m not a big fan of divorced couples getting back together in general. I’ve seen a lot shows/movies where couples divorce/separate, only to reconcile (usually without really addressing the issues that led to the separation in the first place), and I’m always like “Please let that woman stay divorced!”

Thank you so much for the ask! <3

About MammonxStella I wonder how their sex life would be with how she is sexually frustrated after years of being married to an apathetic gay man and how he is ace. Like it is not precised if he is sex repulsed, neutral or still have sex so I don't know for sure

I'm always on the fence when it comes to Mammon being asexual because I'm 95% sure Viv only made him ace in an attempt to stop people from shipping/drawing porn of him, but regardless, I think it would be this and that he eats her like a Michelin star meal.

I blame you for my sudden love of Lambchop it’s ruining my life

Stella smirked. "Why hide it now Stolas? You see everyone knows you bend over for imps." (Sorry J, couldn't help it. :)

THE PROVOCATION sets his beak grinding, mouth curving downward and eyes slitting. Stolas extends a hand, head tilting to one side as if admiring a fresh manicure upon his fingers. ❝ Hide? My poisonous wench, I am not hiding anything. The TRUTH in that statement is the singular IMP. There is exactly one specific imp in which I will happily roll over for. I wouldn't think that needed clarifying, yet here we are! ❞

I LOVE KAI PARKER SO MUCH I'M GONNA GNAW MY ARMS OFF !!!!!!!!!!!

How are Viv and the team gonna write Stella’s relationship with Via? Viv can’t write her to have always been abusive towards her daughter because Via would’ve realized it and never would’ve stayed with her on weekend like in Ozzie’s. It’s not like Stella isn’t even turning Via against Stolas because she blames the collapse of home on him anyways (Loo Loo Land). Besides, with the leaks, Viv is making Via go through the same arc once again with Stolas, so like that to me makes me feel like Stella is the lesser of the two evils in a way.

I’ve seen people say “Stella if she was a good mom” whenever people draw fanart of the whole family, but I’ve yet to see her actually be a bad mom towards Octavia. I guess I’m just gonna have to see what kind of reconning Viv is gonna do. 

(sorry if there are spelling mistake)

I hate to break it to you anon but as of season 2, Viv doesn’t plan to make Stella actually have a relationship with Via. Their relationship is non existent and it will continue to be. And fans love to act like the empty writing is done on purpose like “oh Stella is such a bad mother she never acknowledges Octavia so there’s the proof for their relationship” when in reality if you wanted to do that, there’s ways of writing a parent being neglectful while also having an established on screen dynamic, especially since Octavia talks about her mother as if they DO have a relationship, the show just doesn’t care to actually show us that, as well as not making sense, flip flopping between hinting at Stella and Via having a relationship or Stella just not acknowledging her at all or caring. This is just another aspect of the show where the fans do the writing for Viv and try to fill in the BIG empty gaps unfortunately.

I certainly do expect the future to have retconning and rewriting, cause Viv right now clearly has no idea wether she wants Stella to be evil or just the slightly sympathetic woman who’s being controlled by her brother, (again…you can clearly tell she’s writing this as she goes and has no idea where she wants this to go but don’t worry I’m sure she’ll figure it out on the spot WAYY later down the road and rewrite the story to fit that) but I’m not sticking around that long to find out. Point is, as of now there’s no hope for Stella and Via actually having a relationship.
