#they don't deserve you and your upcoming self awareness arc stolas............

[theophagie]

Stolas unthinkingly treats imps in demeaning ways and often patronises Blitz, absolutely. People who aren't deliberately malicious can still be *le gasp* problematic or act on ingrained prejudicial beliefs, and someone who's never thought twice about their place in the world and in relation to others is bound to say things or behave in ways that reflect their privilege and their environment (that would be the point of character development. btw)

*smiles and grabs you by the shoulders so hard that you start bleeding*

There should still be nothing stopping you from divining that back at Ozzie's Stolas tried to walk away and hid his face out of shame not because he was seen with Blitz, but because he was publicly accused of abandoning his family. "You sold your life for a tryst", literally how much more obvious do you want it to be...... sorry that the guy who put up with domestic abuse and public humiliation for years because he thought that he could keep his family together if he tried hard enough avoided conflict when someone shamed him in front of a crowd for failing at his self-imposed objective ig. Also there's a pretty fucking substantial difference between being casually out with someone or drawing attention to something by yourself (see: Stolas being publicly affectionate towards Blitz during the harvest moon festival) and having someone singling you out and talking about your business in front of a bunch of people in a manner that comes across as mocking, but what do I know

And re: conflict, the way he did get up to seemingly defend Blitz before Asmodeus got on his case... I'm gonna bite you all, put some respect on his name !!!
