#Stella helluva boss

Keep thinking about an argument I had with a Stella defender who said that Via "doesn't give a fuck" that she's growing up in a dysfunctional household? I just... what? Was it not everyone else's assumption that she was just emotionally numb as a trauma response? Figured that was kind of obvious from the fact that she doesn't react much to what's going on around her, but the song she's listening to is literally singing "my world is burning down around me."

What an odd way to try to exonerate Stella and brush off her traumatizing Via by abusing Stolas in front of her

I feel like the "villain is evil for the sake of being evil" trope can work in some cases, like with Ozai from Atla.

With Stella, however, it doesn't work because of the fact that in a family drama, every character's perspective should be taken into consideration: Stolas' pov, Stella's pov, Octavia's pov. Only then can we get the full picture of what actually went wrong, how and when.

Instead, nothing was Stolas' fault according to the writers: his bitch of a wife was tormenting him this whole time!! Forget the cheating! His daughter just needs to learn the "whole truth" of how abusive Stella has always been and how much her dad sacrificed for her!! Forget the neglect! Blitz must love Stolas despite how he treated him because Stolas is a sad lonely repressed gay!! Forget the abuse!

If Stella is what you call "A bad mother" then I reckon Stolas wouldn't be that stupid enough to let her take care of Octavia. It's confirmed that they each take turns taking care of her. If Stolas let Stella take care of Octavia knowing that Stella is a bad mother, how does that make him any better as a father? Even if Stolas had no choice but to let Stella take care of Octavia, then you'd think he'd be more worried about how to gain custody of her instead of his drama and love life with Blitzo.

Not saying Stella made the right choices as a mother either and she's definitely not a good mother, but people wanna act like she doesn't at least love Octavia at all when she does love her. The only reason why she'd be grinning like this is because she was getting exactly what she wished for; the downfall for Stolas.

That's a little dramatic but i like it Besides, these problems are serious, such as reproductive violence (force to give birth if you don't want to), loneliness, and high expectations And your husband is also a disgrace to you

“We’re sick and tired of sympathetic villains! We want them gone! We want purely evil villains we love to hate again just like the old days!! We want to enjoy how evil they’re are!”

People, you couldn’t even handle these two.

A little bit obsessed with the idea of Blitzø having one (1) interaction with Stella and going "oh HELL no. I'm Via's dad now. I adopted a 17-year-old girl once and by Satan, I'll do it again"

I know we're supposed to view Stella as one dimensional and all, but what about these incestuous comments from Andrealalphus? I feel like they accidentally give her more depth.

The comments could imply that Andrealphus was weirdly sexual towards his sister before. If I grew up with a sibling who made sexual comments about me I'd turn out fucked up too

Not only this, but Andre probably kept insulting Stella's lack of intelligence for years, which explains why she cares so much about status and hates imps. She thinks she's got nothing else going for her, and the mere existence imps reminds her of who she doesn't want to be; worthless. So, Stella sees imps as worthless (because, in Hell's society, they ARE), and since Stolas cheated on her with one, that explains her outrage. If Stolas found a creature at the bottom of the barrel worthy enough to willingly sleep with him but could never show an ounce of enthusiasm while he had sex with her, that means she really IS worthless ─ worth less than an imp.

But the thing that confuses me is that the audience is supposed to believe Stella cares about her public image, but for some reason she had no problem talking smack about Stolas and their sex life in front of other rich people so idk. Shouldn't she avoid bringing up their terrible marriage to others? I mean, she's associated with Stolas, so her status would have 100% suffered if these people had spread the word
