#stella helluva

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

Ugh fuck ass birds (the sequel)

I can't tell whether I like Octavia better with Stolas's pale blue-gray or Stella's white

Concept redesigns for my (currently mental) rewrite

[hazshit-hotel-hater]

I feel like vivzie doesnt realise you can write a character with NPD or any disorder and show them get better. Im thinking about Stella mostly and in canon I don’t think she has NPD but if I were to rewrite her I think I’d want to touch on that a bit maybe? I don’t think vivzie really understands that peoole with personality disorders aren’t automatically terrible people. Like if she met me I think she would label me as a abuser because I have aggressive episodes sometimes. God forbid someone show symptoms of being mentally ill. Ugh anyway I hate vivzie. I need to save stella and all of the other women.

It's pathetic how evil and obnoxious they had to make Stella in a desperate attempt to convince the viewers to hate her. Vivzi is never beating the fujoshi-sexism allegations.

LGBT stands for Let’s Get Blitzo Therapy

"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'.

[birdy-babe]

She was sitting by the phone WAITING. She knew that Stolas was going to call. She was waiting for him, even changed Blitz’ contact so she knew when he reached out. Look at the smile on her face, how excited she is that he finally called.

Stella when I FUCKING GET YOU

Helluva Boss has definitely had its fair share of poorly written female characters, but Stella isn't one of them.

Like, basically the whole situation is that Loo Loo Land clearly potrayed an abusive household, but people missed very clear red flags and defended Stella with everything they had. Then The Circus came out and they realized that they couldn't come up with excuses for her anymore, so they decided that the whole character is poorly written instead of just admitting that they're wrong like mature adults.

Their argument at the end of the day seems to be that the character is poorly written because the creator(s) didn't go along with their headcanons. They claimed that Stolas was "retconned" and that there were "no signs Stella was abusive" as if she wasn't throwing potted plants at him and hiring an assassin while he's right across the table from her.

People are so disappointed that it didn't turn out that they were in love at some point and their marriage just spoiled over time, but they seem to be dismissing the fact that Stolas is gay anyway, so it's not like a relationship could work out between them even if Stella was crazy.

It's so funny that people bring up Stella as an example of Helluva Boss having poorly written female characters when she's actually one of the only women in this show that's decently written

I think I cracked the case on Stella

The Ars Goetia Family

I might get a lot of hate for this, but I want Helluva Boss to explore the myriad of reasons cis women get abortions. I want it to be explored in a healthy way

Because I feel in the current climate (especially politically) people don't want to ever think of the possibility that a woman won't want children. Millie isn't happy about this news.

And I'd absolutely love for Millie to not tell Moxxie she had an abortion, I want her to feel guilty about it and talk to Blitzø about it, worrying that if Moxxie knew he'd hate her.

And I want Blitzø to convince her that because he loves her he would support her no matter what. And when she tells Moxxie he just says "it's your body so it's your choice, but next time let me know so I can help you through this."

Not all cis women want nor can physically have children. We need to talk about abortion in a much healthier way than the current climate allows.

Edit to add this:

Okay so while replying to someone it made me think, what if they tied this in to Stella's backstory? Very early on we see that Stella seems kind of distant towards Octavia.

If Stella is a woman who was forced to have a child when she didn't want one, her personality towards Stolas and Octavia becomes more apparent.

She spends more time with her brother than with Octavia.

she even calls her "an egg"

and "his daughter" instead of ever calling her Octavia or even her own daughter.

This could be a good way to explore how a person who was forced into a mothering role could act, and explains her distaste for Stolas' strength of actually doing something against the Ars Goetias authority.

Stella in this moment sees Octavia crying, but if we look at her eyes closely she isn't watching the television, she's looking at Octavia and smiling at the fact she's in pain.

Stella thinks she's proven here that it's impossible/was impossible to ever go against the status quo, that her wishes of ever disobeying the Goetia is futile and she's proven to Stolas and Octavia that it was always impossible.

I think a plot like this could really help the audience understand childfree people from a different perspective, and what  could happen if you force a person who wishes to be childfree to have a child.

She could even have been mentally unwell/unstable after/before giving birth, which effects how she reacts towards people.

We as a society need to stop pressuring people into doing things our grandparents did just because it's what is expected of you.

This whole show is about generational trauma and breaking free from it, so I can see the show going this direction if it chooses to.

What do you think of this idea, and of it tying into a possible Stella backstory?
