"I tried so many years to make it comfortable for us; to have this family, but it was never enough. The only reason I have endured your constant insults and cruelty was for that girl to have a normal life." - Stolas S2 E1

"Also, son, you are destined to sire a precautionary addition to the Goetia family." - Paimon S2 E1

Some of you all are completely misunderstanding the second half, I am not downplaying the love Stolas has for Octavia, I am not saying that at all, what I am saying, is that Octavia is 100% going to think she was a 'obligation' when she finds out she was born to be a 'precautionary addition to the Goetia family'.

[drama-glob]

Remember people:

Paimon is said to be one of Lucifer's most loyal followers. Soooooo...

How do you think he'd feel if he saw Lucifer like this? ;)

Fanart for his majesty and his most loyal Goetia u^u

[geekgirles]

In light of the most relevant Goetia men being all revealed as gay, someone please draw that one meme with Stolas (bonus points if he's making out with Blitzo), Vassago, and Andrealphus confirming they're all into men and an exasperated Paimon asking if there's anyone in their family that likes women. ...Only for the "camera" to focus on a startled and embarrassed Stella.

Please, it'd be hilarious!

[umnokorito]

you could say goetia forgetting about their kids is........ hereditary

[sharkaiju]

Blitzø: Dads see their kids and say "Is anybody gonna emotionally traumatize that?" And then don't wait for an answer.

Stolas: Dads see their kids??

ARS GOETIA OCS (And Paimon redesign ig)

Long post ahead 💀

So like, after the release of the new Helluva Boss trailer, I got SUPER fixated on the Ars Goetia. So I wanted to try my hand at designing my own takes on members not yet shown in the series, as well as crafting some self indulgent lore about the group.

So, I imagine that there are 4 main Goetia families, with each of their houses being in one of the cardinal directions of the Pride Ring. 3 of the 4 families have both a king and a queen at the head, with the 4th only having a king (we’ll get to that).

The couples, and their directions go like this:

Belial (North)

Paimon and Balam (West)

Vine and Zagan (East)

Beleth and Purson (South)

These are just where the kings and queens live. Offspring often move out to other rings, so there’s Goetia influence all throughout Hell.

Each of the kings and queens are also fallen angels, having fallen with Lucifer after the battle in Heaven. For this reason, their crowns appear more halo-like, floating above their heads. Two of them don’t have this on their refs, but that’s just because I designed them before coming up with that idea.

Anyways, to the designs!

Belial

Belial is one of the most powerful members of the Ars Goetia, rivaling the power of the sins, and many mortals think of them synonymous to the Devil himself.

So powerful they can actually reproduce by themself. For this lil hc, I made them a California Condor, a species of bird known to have reproduced without a mate. Also, the look of the condor just goes well with the whole pestilence thing Belial has going on.

I think their cloak is actually wings that come from their back, remnants from their time as an angel. I just didn’t draw them in that second picture cuz I just didn’t feel like it 💀

They’re one of the two I drew before I came up with the whole “halo crown” thing, but I have drawn a doodle of what they would look like now with that concept. It’ll be shown later in the post.

Also, I imagine them being agender, so go with the vibes of “being so powerful, the concept of gender means nothing to them and no word can ever truly describe them”, if that makes sense. Idk, that’s just the vibes I get from them. So I usually refer to them with they/them pronouns, but you can really call them whatever you want.

Paimon

I actually don’t mind Paimon’s canon design all that much. Think it actually goes pretty hard. I more so just wanted to change his species cuz with how I imagine my tweaked version of the Ars Goetia, the parents’ species has no effect on what species the offspring will be. Just as long as they’re bird. So Stolas is still an owl, don’t worry. I decided on making Paimon a raven because Stolas is sometimes described as a raven instead of an owl, so I wanted to pay homage to that.

I also gave him wing arms because he has been said to be able to fly.

That’s about all I got for Paimon

Balam

Balam is Paimon’s wife and also Asmodeus’s sister. I made this decision because when looking at their descriptions, Balam and Asmodeus are described very similarly. They are both chimeras with the head of a man, a bull, and a ram, and both possess a serpent tail. So I decided “fuck it, they’re related now”. This also means Ozzy is Stolas’s uncle, which I think would be an interesting dynamic.

I made Balam a bearded vulture mainly for the fact that Balam is also described to have “fiery eyes” which gave bearded vulture to me, idk.

I imagine her other two heads usually only appear in her more demonic form. They can prolly appear normally too, but I think she doesn’t let them show often.

Vine

Vine is a demon known for construction, and I imagine he built most of the Goetia manors. He makes structures using vines that sprout from his wrists, which then morph into the desired material after the creation is finished.

I decided to make him a Montezuma Oropendola, which are birds known to build large nests out of, you guessed it, vines.

Vine is never escaping the spelling of his name.

Which is also the reason I made him very plant themed. Idk, I just find something so nature-y and alive existing in someplace like Hell to be interesting.

I even wrote a lil world building tidbit about him:

To the east of the Pride Ring rests an overgrown forest, with trees so dense that no light hits the dead grass below and roots so tangled that one cannot hope to get through without getting caught within the knots. But if one ventures far enough, they will see this monstrous forest transform into a lavish jungle. The plants are radiant in their green color, the several ponds sprinkled throughout filled with water that almost sparkles. Within this sanctuary, in a clearing with no true location, sits a grandiose manor; a looming structure almost resembling that of an old European castle, encased in hordes of vines and flowers. The home of King Vine and Queen Zagan — the rulers of the East.

Speaking of Queen Zagan-

Zagan

Zagan is known to transform liquids, turning water into wine, blood into wine, oil into water (which can then be turned into wine). She just makes a ton of wine. But I wanted to mainly focus on the blood to wine part, since I realized I could go with a vampiric aesthetic when designing her.

For this reason, I also chose to make her an oxpecker, which is a (sometimes) parasitic bird known for pecking at wounds on large mammals and drinking their blood.

I decided to pair her up with Vine because they’re both creators. Vine’s creations may be more grandiose, with being literal buildings and all, but Zagan’s creations are probably still useful. I mean, she can also create coins.

Oh, and now that I’ve shown both of them, this is what Belial and Zagan’s crowns would look like now, with the whole halo crown thing

Beleth

Beleth was very tricky for me to design at first. Beleth is described as appearing intimidating and fierce when summoned, in order to test the courage of the conjuror. So I wanted to make her intimidating, but was struggling to figure out how exactly I wanted to do that.

Thankfully, my good good friend @braveboiart helped with ideas, and suggested the armor and shadowy cape.

I also made her a shoebill stork, cuz when I think of a bird a lot of people find intimidating, I think of the shoebill.

Purson

And then last but not least, Beleth’s husband, Purson. I decided to pair them up because I wanted to depict them both with armor. They’re a warrior duo.

I made Purson a harpy eagle mainly cuz I thought it’d be cool, but also cuz they’re one of the heaviest birds of prey, and I read somewhere that during the battle it took a swarm of angels to take him down. Idk how canon this is to actual bible lore, but I like it so I’m stealing it /lh

I imagine Beleth and Purson manage some sort of military, and probably train the knights in the Ars Goetia ranking. Idk, I’m still figuring lore out.

Anyways, that’s all I have to show off today. I’m working on redesigning Stolas, Stella, and Octavia, so look out for that I guess.

Paimon/Fem!Nightjar!Reader who raises Stolas fic preview because no one asked for it:

****

“Is it true? Is Father really here?” Stolas asked. “For my birthday?”

You smiled at the owlet, bouncing on his talons in front of you and chirping excitedly. He could hardly contain himself, even with a gentle pat to the head to signal him to be steady. 

“Yes, darling.” You hoped for the King’s sake that your words were not an unknowing lie, as they’d been the last two times Paimon’s arrival was announced then retracted. “He really is.”

Stolas hooted with delight, zipping around you in circles as you silently ruminated on current events.        It was a shame to see the little boy you’d raised be so excited over something that would likely be lackluster, given Paimon’s reputation. You had heard tales of the almighty ruler and his conquests, both on the battlefield and amongst hellish whores. And while he was a cunning evil entity, the King was also father to a plethora of neglected demon spawn, Stolas not the least among them. 

You doubted he’d spend more than an hour with his own son. 

Stolas continued to jump up and down, little arms flapping as though he might actually fly in his current form. That was until the Head Imp returned to inform you of King Paimon’s arrival in his droll way. 

“His highness is waiting in the Throne Room, my Prince.” The butler nodded to you. “Ma’am.”

Your little boy froze, seemingly unearthed over the meeting that he’d been over the moon for just a second ago. 

     He nestled into you as you leaned down, nudging his feathered brow that had raised in worry. 

Gently, you lifted his gaze to your own. “I’ll be right beside you.” 

After a moment, Stolas nodded and took your offered hand in his. The two of you walked out of his room and down the hall together, treading lightly until you stood in front of the grand double doors that would lead you to King Paimon’s throne.

Quickly threw together a little collage of every single season 2 thumbnail now that the season has ended.

Now the question is, how are we planning to survive the wait until season 3 starts?

Stolas (Pleads and counters): Yes father, for I am immortal!

Fizzarolli (Quirks eyebrow in confusion and asks): Yeah, what did you think I was going to do?

Asmodeus (O_O): N-nothing.

[imp-imp-im-a-simp]

There's a thing that have been on my mind for a while. Doesn't the royalty of Goetia seems so... insecure and fragile?

Every step they need to assure the world and themselves how high they are. They have a king above them whom they have to obey. They use lower class as slaves to assure themselves that they're powerful, even if they're not at the top of hierarchy.

Or I just babble cause it's pretty late.

Imao they seem like a bunch of posers.

Why Wasn't Paimon At The Trial?

I know the easy answer would be he doesn't care since he has so many children but I think there's more to it.

It was a pretty deliberate choice to not have him included at the trial that included several of the Goetia and almost all the Sins. If this was something involving Stolas, a high ranking prince supposedly being "assaulted" and his Grimoire being taken and Blitz being accused of plotting to assassinate him, surely Paimon--a King of the Goetia--would've been the first to be informed, right?

I don't believe he's dead since Goetia and royals in general can live for very long periods of time. No he was kept out of the loop by Andrealphus on purpose because he could've blown a hole in their plans. Or be brought in at a later date as the man that brought his son in contact with Blitz in the first place.

The playdate deal Paimon had with Cash Buckzo could be used as a means to protect Stolas and Blitz's hides if a second trial were to occur. While unofficial, Paimon made a deal with an imp to have their sons play together for a whole day, allowing Blitz access to the treasures of the Goetia. Paimon's an airhead but I think he would notice that many of his treasures were stolen. He could've rained hell on the Buckzo circus for that but didn't.

Very interesting.

If Stolas is allowed to actually tell the truth about the deal he and Blitz had later, Paimon could bring up that as a prince if he made an arrangement with Blitz about allowing usage of the book, that would get them off scot-free. It isn't exactly something they'd approve of but willingly allowing access to the book with given permission from the owner could turn the tide in their favor.

And I think there's one more person that Paimon could've invoked if he had been at the trial. Someone in the real life Ars Goetia that he has been stated to be close to.

Big Daddy Lucifer.

Paimon in the real life Ars Goetia has been stated to be very loyal to Lucifer so the same could be said for in the Hellaverse as well. He could ask him for assistance in helping his son not pay the consequences for his actions and reveal the truth of Andrealphus's lies. If he is as close to him as the original texts say, maybe that's why Andrealphus chose to not inform Paimon of the trial. He would bring up Lucifer and that would piss Satan off worse. We know he's been throwing his weight around as the currently leader of the Sins so anyone that would bring up Lucifer would most likely not get out unharmed, even a king of the Goetia.

But with Hazbin Hotel characters and Helluva Boss characters being allowed to interact with each other and Lucifer finally being more active again, maybe he could play a role in the future?

[tranquil-slaughterhouse]

He'd* better be T-posing if that ever happens.

*Paimon, not Stolas.
