#tw: stella defender

[yasmiralotta]

What the hell did I just read?

I don't know how to break this down honestly. Like, everyone has their own interpetation of things but...This would only work in a Au were Stolas and Stella switched places, because this would never happen in canon and is so out of ooc it's not even funny...

[yasmiralotta]

Sadly they are still stupid 😓

Can the "what if Stella is actually a good mother" people shut up now that we have undeniable proof she happily emotionally manipulates Octavia for her own gains.

[jinxed-sinner]

Sometimes I completely forget that TikTok is where most Stella defenders congregate so imagine my absolute shock and horror when a post came across my FYP comparing Stella to Moxxie and Angel Dust of all characters

Actually, you know what, I'm gonna just say it here: Stella's written to be a villain because she's supposed to be a villain, not because Viv can't write women. Women can be villains and women can be perpetrators of abuse. Acting like Stella's badly written just because she's abusive takes away the reality that women like that actually exist. My mom was (allegedly) like that. Additionally, Stella takes out her anger about her and Stolas's situation out on Stolas. That's inexcusable and since it's one of her defining traits and something that's continuously shown throughout the entire show (and it's indicated that she's been like that her entire life by the way), it makes her incredibly hateable.

Let's also discuss a few of the characters that this person was comparing Stella to.

Valentino - Val is meant to be at least somewhat likeable, because it's realistic for people like him. I absolutely hate him, but I still find myself drawn to him because I love his design and he was very purposely characterized to be charismatic, which is why he has fans.

Alastor - Alastor has morals. If he didn't, Husk wouldn't be in the show. He'd be wherever souls go after Alastor tears them apart. I firmly believe there can be nuance to murder (for example, self-defense), and I genuinely think that there's more nuance to Alastor's killings than just "he killed just because" because Alastor doesn't even attack people without reason. Additionally, even if he was outright abusive (which he's not, fight me), he's incredibly charismatic and likable. Alastor is far from the worst person in the Hellaverse.

Angel Dust - Angel’s an addict who was born into a mafia family and is a victim of trafficking and uses drugs and sex to cope with his situation, and he's prone to lashing out because of it. There's an entire episode breaking this down. If you genuinely think Angel’s a piece of shit please go rewatch Masquerade, I'm begging you

Moxxie - Moxxie was also born into a mafia family. He got into trouble, ended up in jail, and met Blitz, and they started IMP. It's worth noting that it's implied that IMP started as a freelance assassin business that did business exclusively in Hell; Blitz mentions that they don't do jobs in Hell anymore, only in the human world. These jobs are entirely vengeance based (sinner gets to Hell and hires IMP to take care of whoever killed them).

Adam and Lute - Adam and Lute are just a fun duo to watch, and Adam's funny to watch on his own. I absolutely adore their dynamic. That doesn't mean I don't acknowledge their role in a literal genocide; I can like them without condoning their actions.

Something Vivziepop does incredibly well is create characters that make you feel incredibly torn (and I know for me personally, both Val and Vox are good examples of this; I absolutely despise them both, but they're an absolute joy to watch. As a result I'm constantly flipping between "God I hate them" and "god I love them" because I hate them as people but love them as villains). That's the whole point of pretty much every character brought into the "Stella's so universally hated but there are these characters in both Helluva AND Hazbin who are so much worse!" argument.

Stella is written to be a hateable character. She has no redeeming qualities. Val at least has charisma and a funny dynamic with Vox and Velvette. Stella just makes you hate it when she shows up on screen. It doesn't make her any worse-written of a villain and it doesn't mean Viv can't write women. It shows, if anything, that Viv has a lot of range in how she writes villains.

This isn't to say people don't make fair points about Stella. She's a victim of an unfair system who was put into an unfair situation, but so was Stolas. Stella has absolutely no fucking reason to be taking her anger about her situation out on Stolas to the point of hiring an assassin to kill him.

Stella isn't defendable. Comparing her to characters like Val isn't fair because Val is written to be likeable, Stella isn't. Stop excusing Stella's abuse of Stolas (and some of that is implied to be sexual by the way) with "Viv can't write women" lol

Stol!tzø but it's straight ♂️♀️

"Well, the antis/critics wouldn't defend Stella if her and Stolass' genders were swaped!" - I heard this from the stans fairly often. Today I'm not going to disprove this claim though. However it inspired me for my current post.

What if the story wasn't revolved around two queer men? What if Blitzø was a woman and Stolass was a straight man instead? Would've the fans still loved this ship? NO. That's how the critics would respond. And I completely agree with them. Yet I decided to go further and visualize this crap... Why?!

In fact, it was just an experiment that turned out to something EXTREMELY revolting as a result. I mean Stol!tzø IS revolting the way it already is that's for sure. But this is becoming painfully obvious when they're depicted as hetero ☠️

So here are some screenshot edits with genderswaped Blitzø. At first I couldn't decide if I should hide this under the cut or not. Finally I've leaned towards the first option so...

<<< Tw: SA, harassment and Stolass being sexual predator under the cut >>>

Sorry for making you puke 🤢🤮🤮🤮

I don't think it'll be useful for the critical community since we're already aware about the abusive nature of Stol!tzø. Unless you argue with a dubious fan and you need to emphasize your point maybe?

Anyway stay hydrated and have a nice day! I wish you never ever meet the pos like Stolass in your life! ☀️

Tw

The double standards from Hellaverse fandom is so funny because wdym you're allowed to like Valentino but not Stella? Both commit the same CRIME (abuse, i wouldn't say rape because Stella didn't actually rape Stolas since she also didn't want this) but no one's allowed to like both because one is bad and another isn't? How does that make sense considering not only is Valentino abusive, he's also a RAPIST, hello?

(this is referring to the fandom) My sibling in christ, Stella has her own sexy merch despite being abusive so if you're gonna hate on Stella fans for liking Stella, maybe hate on Spindlehorse for making sexy merch for her? 🤔

And the "it's hell" excuse is also pretty dumb if you're allowed to like Valentino but hate Stella fans for liking Stella like bitch, i thought you said "it's hell", why suddenly it's a bad thing for fans to like her? Hypocrite much?

The double standards between Valentino and Stella is so weird. When there is drama surrounding Valentino, most of the fans are defending him and saying you can like him, he’s a great villain, etc, etc. For example, on R/Hazbin Hotel someone made this:

But when it’s Stella, somehow Stella fans be catching strays, getting sided eyed, and judged out of nowhere. “Of course a Stella fan wrote 🙄..” I thought we could like villains, what happened to that.

[yasmiralotta]

Holy shit, what a nutjob 😬

And unfortunately, they also certainly talk shit over here on this website in the main tags.

And I blocked them just now.

⭑･ﾟﾟ･*:༅｡.｡༅:*ﾟ:*:✼✿　⛧⃝　✿✼:*ﾟ:༅｡.｡༅:*･ﾟﾟ･⭑

Copia groaned as he lay in his bed. He didn't have the energy to deal with anything today. He didn't want to deal with the Clergy's demands, the problems the siblings brought to him, or even his own problems. He just wanted to lie in his bed in his new Imperator Suite and melt into the soft blankets and sheets.

No one would notice if he took just one day for himself- no one except two ghouls. He should have expected it when he heard the creak of his door opening and the soft chuff calling into the darkness of his room, searching for a response.

Copia huffed softly through his nose, mimicking the sound the best he could. He was rewarded with the sound of his door closing and the clack of claws on his floor approaching his bed.

"What's wrong? You never sleep in," The voice of Dewdrop broke the quiet of the room, Copia huffing as he lay his arm over his head.

"Just don't have it today," he mumbled before feeling the mattress dip as the ghoul clambered onto the bed.

"Burnt out?"

"Si."

Another soft chuff came from Dew before he flopped down hard against Copia's side, drawing a "Oof!" from the human. Dew then immediately made himself comfortable, pressing himself against Copia's side before trying to groom his hair.

"Dew," Copia huffed, pouting but not making a move to stop the ghoul.

The two stayed like this, Dew fretting over the former Papa, and Copia just letting it happen. He found it cute that Dew was worrying over him so much, it being rare to see the fire ghoul in such a state. He leaned towards the other's touch, his eyes fluttering closed.

Then he heard his door open once again, and the voice of his young quintessence ghoul, "Dew? Copia? Is everything ok?"

"Phantom, la mia piccola stella," Copia whined, lifting his arms to make grabby hands towards his ghoul, "Come."

Copia suppressed a soft giggle as he heard Phantom's chirping trill, as well as the sound of him scampering to climb onto the bed. Phantom nearly slipped on the hardwood floor before he hopped into the bed, purring as he lay down directly on top of Copia, purring as he rested his chin on his belly.

"Hi," Phantom chirped, his purrs growing in intensity as Copia carded his fingers through his hair.

"Hello, bello," Copia smiled before gasping when Dew bit his ear, a soft, jealous growl coming from him. "Ow! Dew!" Copia pouted, glaring at his ghoul.

"Bug gets cute nicknames, and I don't?"

"You are so unbelievable," Copia huffed, but there was no real venom behind his words. "Ok then. You get 'Bestiolino'," Copia nodded, snickering softly at the head tilt that came as Dew's response.

"What does that mean?"

"Little Beast," Phantom answered with a soft giggle.

"Hey!"

"Phantom, when did you learn- OW!"

Copia cried out before laughing, Dew biting and nipping anywhere he could reach. Or more accurately, anywhere ticklish he could reach. Copia squirmed and writhed, laughing hard as Dew's evil smirk grew.

"Phantom! Phantom, save me! Per favore!" Copia cried out between his laughter.

"Don't listen to him! Join the dark side, Bug!" Dew snickered.

Phantom had to fight back his own laughter as he tried to decide whose side he would take. Should he choose his mate's side and join in the 'vicious attack' on the human, or defend his Papa and give Dew a taste of his own medicine? He did like being Copia's little star, and he knew Dew could simply get even with him later. So he made his choice.

"Phantom! Fucker!" Dew squealed before his own laughter joined Copia's when Phantom turned on him, tickling his sides and base of his back. Dew was even more ticklish than Copia, the ghoul squirming and trying to escape as Copia joined in almost as soon as he had recomposed himself.

"Stop! Mercy! Mercy!" Dew cackled and squirmed, his voice cracking from how hard he was laughing.

The two continued their joint attack on Dew for a few more moments before taking mercy on him, Dew giggling as he was left lying on the soft sheets, his tail whipping back and forth before snuggling back to Copia's side.

"You two are so cruel," Dew chortled, purring as he pressed his cheek against Copia's shoulder.

"You started it," Copia smiled, wrapping one arm around Dew's waist, and the other around Phantom's, holding both close.

"Nuh uh."

"Yeah, uh."

"Can we watch Star Wars?"

"Sure, Stella."

The two ghouls purred as Copia reached for his remote, sitting up and turning the TV on, pulling up their movie library. As he selected a movie, both ghouls got comfortable at his sides. He then let himself get comfortable with the two, pulling the blankets close as their film began, the world outside the room forgotten.

"Stella is a good mom. You all just want to believe she's bad because Vivzie wrote her that way." Huh, it's almost as if that is how character writing works...Like...What?!...Viv wrote her that way because that's her character. Like, what?! My brain just short circuited because of that statment 🤯

I swear to God dude people only like Stella purely out of spite for Stolas and nothing else, at least someone is well aware she isn’t a good fucking person instead of some people who are just fucking delusional enough to think she’s actually a good fucking person.

Like I don’t know why so many Stella defenders are legit delusional enough to think “no she’s a good person guys Viv just can’t write good female characters!!!” Like ok my dude, hope you’re having a good time in fucking la la land.

…

Look, no one, and I mean, no one. Deserves the fucking wrath of Kiwifarm users. Those people are full on fucking stalkers and creeps who get some sick thrill out of talking shit about people who at best are cringe and at worst, even if they certainly aren’t good people themselves, stalking them and harassing them to the extent those people do doesn’t actually do Jack fucking shit and constantly talking shit about others is just as sad and pathetic as the people they talk shit about.

But! Same with 4Chan, if you seriously go to those places for info on hazbin, or vivziepop, or anyone fucking else, of fucking course you are going to find the scummiest fucking people! Maybe, just maybe, if you actually wanted decent information on the various bullshit that Viv is constantly getting herself involved in, you don’t go to a place known for cyberstalkings harassment, racism and transphobia? Just a fucking thought?

Like I’m not gonna say I’ve never gone to Kiwifarms before out of pure curiosity but I sure af never actually interacted with those fucking basement dwelling fucks, cuz I actually respect my fucking mental health, they make threads on their own users! They have no loyalty to each other! Why tf would they be nice to you when you obviously have mental weaknesses they have no care if they exploit?

You for all intents and purposes went to a site run by fucking psychopaths and your first fucking thought after the whole debacle is “This fandom is terrible, this is totally Viv’s fault somehow?!” Bitch do you think they like her either? I’ve been on the vivziepop thread out of burning curiosity, trust me, they don’t! They don’t fucking like anyone! I don’t think those people like themselves dude! That’s why they talk shit about other people! Because they so desperately want to feel better about their own shitty meaningless lives!

Like I’m sorry this whole thing is giving me “I blame vivziepop for literally everything wrong in my life ever, nothing is ever my own fucking fault!” Vibes. I bet every morning when they wake up their first thought is some kind of “I’m glad vivziepop didn’t kill me in my sleep!” Or some wack shit like that, Viv is this bitch’s boogeyman I swear to God.

I get that they clearly didn’t understand as a dumb kid the extent of Kiwifarm’s shittiness, I get that, but with how chronically online this bitch is nowadays (chronically online is not merely an online-all-the-time thing, it’s a state of mind imo) I would think they would recognize that the people there are wretched, and that isn’t Viv’s fucking fault? And maybe they should’ve just given up on this fucking moral crusade the second it started actually affecting their mental health to the fucking extent it did? Like Jesus Christ what the fuck are they getting out of this beyond some masochistic fucking thrill? Because it’s beyond obvious all this bullshit amounted to nothing.

Like I’m sorry if that sounds extremely inappropriate to insinuate against somebody online but good fucking God what other reasons could there be for why this bitch is constantly going on about Viv even when it’s beyond fucking obvious their whining and obsessive compulsion does nothing but make their own life worse?

I’m sure some people who read my posts on the daily are probably thinking “Yknow, you could say that about yourself?” Yeah I know, that just means I know wtf I’m talking about LMAO!

At least I’m brutally honest that I enjoy getting pissed off (my life is so fucking boring y’all don’t understand) and it’s definitely better than feeling fucking nothing.

At least I actively fucking enjoy something in my shitty life, even if it is just a fucking cartoon, I’m convinced this bitch doesn’t actually like anything, all I ever see this bitch do is whine and complain.

Marcus Acacius Headcanons

TW: mentions of child abuse and murder 𓃦

General Marcus Acacius 𓅂

- Please get this man a vacation. He’s exhausted, he’s tired. Physically, mentally and emotionally.

- He has a broken toe he never addressed because it just?? stopped hurting??

- He has a very bad habit. When he does get these vacations, he tends to abuse them and literally does nothing but bedrot, like he literally wont even bathe unless Lucilla hounds him.

- Burnout induced procrastination and laziness final boss

- He grew up in a relatively larger household, four siblings including himself. All were sisters (this is largely why he knows how to be a decent and faithful husband).

- He actually heavily disliked Lucilla at first. It was mostly because Lucilla was, understandably, still grieving Maximus and her son, but often times that anger was directed towards him.

- they worked their difficulties and misunderstandings out through the wonderful mystical skill that is critical thinking and communication. You know. Like adults. (the rest of the Roman elite cannot say the same, I fear).

- Acacius always wanted children with Lucilla, but Lucilla always refused because she was still torn and ruined from the loss of her son.

- Of course this saddened him greatly, but he understood. He could only imagine what that kind of pain is like—probably far more than what he’s feeling.

- Lucilla is beefing with his sisters. Why? Acacius doesn’t know and frankly he doesn’t really want to? He’s far too stressed, which is understandable. You try not being haunted by the wails of grieving “barbaric” mothers and fathers watching the corpses of their sons being burned by Roman soldiers under your command. You probably wouldn’t sleep well, either.

- The General has great respect for Julius Caesar, he ordered the Medusa head to be molded into his cuirass in honor of him and his successes as one of Rome’s finest generals to ever live. (In one of his busts, Julius Caesar’s cuirass had Medusa on it so this fanboy got inspired).

- Acacius is a reader. Loves to read fiction, especially. It allows him to escape the stresses of his life and become immersed into the world of whatever genre he’s reading.

- Astronomy as a hobby! He likes the stars, he thinks they’re pretty. A petname he has for Lucilla is Stella.

- He’s very intelligent and extremely educated. Sure he was technically a nepo baby, like most of Rome’s elite, but he genuinely used his academics and intellectual prowess to get to where he is. He somewhat regrets his position now.

- As much as he just wants to ring the young twins by the neck some of the times—most of the times— he can’t help but feel extremely bad for them. Everyone close to the Septimius household knew of the horrors those two had to go through in their most vulnerable, innocent years. They are lacking in love and mercy because they were not given that by their parents. They lack education because of that same reason. Education is very important to Acacius (if he were emperor, all citizens of Rome would be given an education), and he strongly believes if they were to only receive a solid education, they wouldn’t be making half of the mistakes that they are making now. And the lack of parental love? It hurts him personally as someone who wants children desperately. He couldn’t fathom how someone could neglect their children, their own blood in such a way. (he does not know about the chronic beatings, all he heard about was that they were ignored). Acacius will never defend the emperors’ wrongdoings ever, but looking at their lives every now and then is a nice reminder of how blessed he was to grow up in a loving household. The part that really breaks his heart is how young they are to be suffering like this. However, they are adults now, they are expected to act and behave a certain way, to make the right decisions with the power they hold.

- Regardless, he fights for Rome and her people, and the two have been a threat. You can’t blame him for trying to start a coup against the Septimius twins, even if it was done with a heavy heart.

- Like the emperors, Acacius has always been antsy around the Praetorian Guard. Something about them irks him. To be honest, those freaks creep out the majority of the Roman elite, even the Senate who seem to favor them. All they do is stare and watch from the shadows. Acacius swears they’re incapable of blinking. Sure they’re physically weaker and shorter than the cavalry he commands, but that didn’t matter when he was sure they could kill you with only a single stare. He doesn’t believe in ghosts but he wouldn’t be surprised if the Praetorian were just made up of vengeful spirits. And if not spirits, the offspring of mars himself.

- Acacius was there in the audience when the Praetorians betrayed Caesar Commodus under Praefectus Quintus’ command. Now, he thought it was a very noble act (as Commodus was a man who should have never been given power in the first place), but the way they were so detached and how easily they just let their emperor die spooked him a twinge. Do they simply not care about who they’re supposed to protect? If they were so easy as to let the emperor die in the ring, what does that say about their loyalty to the Roman people? He knows Quintus personally, he’s a good man with a solid head on his shoulders. But what of his guard? Acacius isn’t too sure about them. As a highly respected General, it would only be his duty to keep an extra eye on them

- Those who speak poorly about the Praetorian best wish that they weren’t being listened to by them. Like corvids, they hear one bad word, one little slight, and the entire guard 400+ strong will know about it by the end of the night. They like to gossip and protect their own. Scary Alt Kid Mean Girl Gang who will Probably Kidnap You. Being on the Praetorian’s radar is quite bad for your health.

- Just in case they might be listening to his prattles to senators where they would discuss the Praetorian, which chances are they were, he refers to them as “aureus”. A fitting name, well, insult. Not as strong and mighty as his wolfish cavalry, but deadly and crafty in their own right. And if those jackals were listening, they’d probably confuse “aureus” as “Aurelius”, Commodus’ father. Hopefully. Maybe. Yeah probably.

- Enough of those spooks, Acacius can play instruments!! And he often does for his lady. He’s rather exceptional with the lute!

- He’s not the only general who’s sick and tired of the warring. There are people to feed, homes to build. They need the tax money that the twins are spending for their Golden Parties and Colosseum events. Unfortunately, Acacius was the only one with enough mettle to try and do something about it.

- He miraculously survived the arrow strike brought on by the Praetorians (SHUT UP he lived lets just say his cuirass was actually made out of freaking titanium LET ME HAVE THIS Vomits Cries Sobs Commits Third Degree Arson Eats You Chews You Spits You Out)

- Yeah it was that day forward he developed a permanent dislike toward the Praetorian. He didn’t care if they were “just doing their jobs” if it were him he wouldn’t have fired that arrow. Either the Praetorian were literally sheep or they had cracked out that “aureus” referred to them. Regardless Acacius KNOWS that they aren’t afraid of the twin emperors. They could kill the two in their sleep easy. Who’s going to arrest the praetorians if they disobeyed the emperors’ command to fire? Themselves? Acacius is hellbent that it was personal because they had all authority to not fire those arrows.

- Acacius may be becoming a sort of conspiracy theorist?? An attempt at your life that nearly succeeds would make you paranoid, too. He thinks the twins and the Praetorian had it out for him before the coup attempt even happened, that all they needed was a reason to get rid of him.

- He was going to confront Quintus about it because why would he ever let that happen under his watch? Apparently Quintus was literally outside of Roman boarders to visit family in Graecia (Graecia is its own country in this au, Caesar Aurelius gave them full freedom from Rome temporarily. Aurelius only kept Graecia absorbed by Rome because he thought their people would do better under Roman rule, but gave them that temporary freedom of power just to see how they would do (he’s rather fond of them and their culture, also the Graecian senate convinced him to). But eventually, following his death and the rise of Commodus, that deal was forgotten. And Commodus didn’t really care about Graecia as his attention was on his own Senate. And after he died, Septimius was going to reabsorb Graecia but got murdered. And after he died, Caracalla and Geta both have no idea Graecia isn’t apart of Roman rule anymore—they are solely focused on southeastern conquest. So Graecia is just its own thing for now.).

- So yeah Acacius hates those black and purple blue bloods.

- So does Lucilla because these two are power couple to the max. She trusts her husband’s instincts far more than some armored fellow in a dark corner staring into space while listening to everyone’s conversations.

- Acacius likes flowers! His favorite are Gladiolus, as they remind him of his Lucilla. Whenever he sees them on boarder patrols, he’ll pick some for his lady.

- It was these same flowers that Lucilla put in a vase for him on his nightstand when he was in the Medicus’ office. Out of distrust in the emperors, they used the office far away from the palace. Many had come to pay their respects and thanks to their hero General. It made him regret his job just a little less. Just a little.

- Lucilla stayed by his side until full recovery, telling him about how he’s technically the step-father to Lucius. (Oh yeah Lucilla lives too because Geta’s death didnt occur in this au)

- He was actually very excited because Lucius is the biological son of Maximus, someone Acacius respects fully. But he’s worried that Lucius would never accept him to fill in that role, which is understandable. Lucius has been hurt by Rome too many times, the last thing he needs is a constant reminder of what was taken from him in favor of a cheap replacement. These are the things Acacius would think about in and out of consciousness.

- Poor Acacius has been very cruel to himself lately, as you can see.

- Lucilla would often sing to him to cool his thoughts. He loves his scary wife.

- They own two Borzois. One is named Gelu, the other is Nivis. They are sisters! They’re very good girls and are loyal to their owners. Gelu is far nicer than her sister, as Nivis is rather wary of others. They like to run along the palace walls in a blur. They are very polite but don’t let that fool you, they just want whatever snack they think you have.

- Acacius is very fond of Gelu and Nivis, he considers them the children he’s never had.

- Before this whole fiasco and all of the life threatening drama (the first year of the twin emperor’s ruling, so when the two were 17), Gelu and Nivis were given freedom to run around the whole palace, including the Executive Floor (where the emperors roam). Unfortunately, Acacius had no idea about Caracalla’s apparent crippling fear of dogs, because when Caracalla saw the two white blurs charging toward him, their tails wagging and barking playfully—he had a full blown panic attack and mental breakdown. He almost had a heart attack, too. Completely. Everyone on the Executive Floor made a b-line towards the shrill cries of horror. Geta was FAST, say what you want about him but this guy can sprint. He got there first. He expected to see pools of blood and gore, but only saw Gelu and Nivis licking Caracalla’s fingers while he was screaming. It may be funny to you but it was terrifying to Caracalla. His brother ushered the dogs away so the Medicus could get to him. When the Medicus, with the help of Dondas, calmed down the shaken emperor, Caracalla demanded that both dogs be put down by their owner effective immediately. Acacius was heart broken, but Geta stepped in. He deemed that the dogs were not at fault whatsoever, there was no attack and it was all a misunderstanding. Gelu and Nivis have been pardoned, however, they were strictly prohibited from ever leaving Acacius’ part of the Palace. To Geta, Caracalla’s health comes first, always.

- Acacius wonders if that incident caused a permanent mistrust within Caracalla. He remembered how quick the twin was to arm himself with a gladius and charge at him to protect his brother when the secret about Acacius’ coup came out. Poor kid. But Acacius didn’t feel bad about that coup attempt at all. In fact, looking back. he probably should have used Gelu and Nivis to scare off Caracalla and separate two. Sure, they couldn’t fight at all, they had zero fighting skills. But if they were apart, it would make the attempt much easier, and possibly successful.

- These are the thoughts he would have while in recovery. What he could’ve done differently. What could have changed? Well, as far as he was concerned, the twins were still in power. But at least he had his queen.

- Acacius has many different cuirasses and uniforms all for different occasions (also he likes many different color pallets). His second favorite is the ceremonial white and gold, but his first favorite has colors that Lucilla said complimented well. And, boy, does Lucilla have a fine taste. This uniform is mostly starch black, with cherry red as a secondary color and gold highlights here and there. It’s bold, it’s intimidating and it’s beautifully handsome on him. He likes to wear it in his spare time :)

- Sort of kind of separate from Acacius. Higher ranking guards, cavalry, Generals, Captains, Praetorian/Praefectus and, of course, Emperors have full design authority over their cuirasses. They can choose any molding they want on there, usually done to represent themselves and their personality. Acacius chose Sphynxes because they represent wisdom and strength, things he needs—well he hopes he has—as a general. The Sphynx is also a nod to Maximus, as the Medusa head is a nod to Julius Caesar. Maximus chose horses to represent his ability to endure and stand for justice; a noble and strong beast. Etc. Some of the more boisterous men enjoy keeping it plain as to not distract from the abs. Very classy.

- Yes, they get full design authority on helmets, too

But it's not like you couldn't defend yourself! You could! Just not from weird robot that literally catches you by the ankles from underground and makes tree branch hit you in the head!!! Who normal would've expected that?!!

So that's precisely why you hated this man. He'd make you paranoid every time you see him, not knowing what's coming for you this time.

That's why, when today during one of your missions you encountered him, you inmidietly pulled your gun out and he did the same thing.

"(This can't be all... I can get some bird is gonna eat my eyeball or some stupid shit!! It'd be his style to do that...)"

While you were panickly looking around, he on the other hand had time of his life~

"Fufu~ Scared of what? Little birds chirping~? How did they let you have a gun if you're afraid of birds~?"

"You know very well why I'm looking around!!"

"Oh, my bad. Are those the bees that make you scared~?"

You let out annoyed huff knowing he's definitely trying to get you to relax just to be hit by another one of his inventions.

"I swear I'm gonna-"

"What? Pull the trigger? You'd do that long ago if you truly wanted, sweetheart~"

"I could say the same for you."

"Maybe I simply don't want to. I enjoy seeing you like this!"

"God spare me..."

"I can do it for him~"

You rolled your eyes not wanting to speak to this man for any longer. You were in fact about to take your leave when you heard warning loud voice from above.

"WATCH OUT"

Looking up, you noticed whole building above you two falling apart making you have to put your guns away and run the other way.

But before you could start running, the man you were pointing gun at just now pulled out a remote, making you sure you're gonna die here and now... But instead, robot came from underground... shielding both you and him?

"Be careful, sweetheart~"

"Excuse me-"

"Don't wanna hurt that pretty head of yours now, do you~?"

As robot somehow successfully shielded you from falling building, you pulled your gun back at him. But once you did, this guy pulled yet another, this time flying robot, stealing your gun and passing it to him, how more annoying could he get!?

"You won't need that~ See you on another day~ Watch out for the rocks!"

He began running away, making you inmidietly get up to run after him and get your belongings back!

"Hey!! Get back here, asshole!"

But instead of running after him, you were stopped by rock hitting you on the head... it wasn't heavy enough to make you bleed or something but enough to make you stop.

"Ouch... Should've asked about the rocks..."

You massaged your head and with heavy sigh, you made your way out of this tight alley, preparing yourself for the scolding and consequences that await you for letting this purple head take your gun and making you stay on mission longer than needed.

Who knows where he's now? All you know is that he'll be back to make your life hell once more...

hey silly, if you're seeing this it means I actually did end up falling for you:3

tw: Yandere themes, obsession:3

You know who you are!!! fuck!! I couldn't sleep for days ever since I met you. Remember how much I didn't want you to see my tumblr to see this side of me I've been trying to hide!

My first question was, do you believe yanderes exist in this world? I didn't clearly hear it but that's fine!! None of that matters anymore anyway, since you're now my darling, yet you just don't know it.

I've always been yearning for someone to stalk me, to do anything for me<3

How much I love sniffing your scent on your ID lace that we exchanged with mine.

It drives me crazy. The way you stare at me, makes me want to melt in your arms and let you take control of my life.

The way you defended me from your friends, and I was not some bitch that you own.

and right after you said I owned you kind of stirred something inside me, but no(⁠*⁠´⁠ω⁠｀⁠*⁠)

I can't really own you, but there is a part of me that does.

once you fully see this side of me would you leave?

You know what would be great for Stella's writing and also an excellent way of calling out her stans/defenders? Making her an example of "White Feminism"

TW: rape mention!!

She is, in a way, in a position of opression since she's a woman in a mysoginistic family that raise all the men to be greater than her and to have power over her and other women in the family. She (rightfully) thinks this is unfair and protagonize some scenes where she expresses her frustration, ON THE SAME TIME, she uses the same system that opresses her to opress other people. She abuses her employees and is horrifically racist against them, even and SPECIALLY her female employees. She abuses Stolas and uses his lack of 'traditional masculinity/heterosexuality' to mock him, isolate him and retraumatize him. She feels empowered by abusing and raping him. She feels empowered by opressing other women. And not even Octavia is free from her mother's cruelty, because Via is queer, not traditionally feminine, she is kind and loves her father besides their problems, and she fastly becomes Stella's new victim.

The writers can give Stella a lot of depth without justifying her abuse, and actually making it even worse. She would be the white, wealthy, racist and queerphobic woman that relies on "White Feminism" to keep herself from responsability and to victimize herself. She is frustrated by her family's mysoginy while using it to opress others that are less powerful than her. This is not only a very realistic aproach, but also worth calling out. After all, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who witness self-labeled "feminists" glorifying abuse and opression against men, and also using homophobic and transphobic rethoric against men that they hate (just look at any comment section on a video about violent incels, people calling them "gay" as insult like if this is any better than their violence, or making Mpreg/gay fanfics of Trump and Musk as a way of mocking them, like if this is any better than their blatant fascism)

I really don't have much to add. This is definitely an interesting narrative and approach to be had when it comes to Stella's character.

However, I am not entirely to interested in her as a whole. While I am open to people conversating about Stella- she just isn't my priority of discussion.

I do apologize for not having much to add, but it is an interesting thought and thank you for the ask.

[yasmiralotta]

I absolutley adore both Blitzø and Stolas, and it hurts me deeply when people don't understand their characters and/or completely mischaracterize them.

Stolas' hints about the abuse

Stolas thinks Blitz's exes would actually try to kill him, when he was fine walking through them earlier. Maybe one or two would punch him.

But even Verosika, the most hurt of his exes, doesn't really want him dead. Unlike Stella does.

He talks about relationships being unfairly tethered. Thinking he'd trapped Blitz, like he was trapped to Stella.

Stolas flinches when screamed at.

That rough housing scares and triggers him. He is genuinely worried about M&M here.

And while he's not scared when Blitz tries it, it does still really does upset him.

That when he's depressed he blames himself; and his affair, for someone (Stella) trying to kill him.

Agreeing that maybe he doesn't deserve to live for leaving his wife. And trying to be happy with his boyfriend, and their children.

And Blitz does now know that Stolas' family is fine with killing him.

Blitz almost all has the puzzle pieces.

TW: sexual assault, rap3, allegations.

Melanie has been accused of bad sexual manners from multiple people.

The first message is a conversation where one of melanie’s victims was under the influence when they hooked up, before that melanie had asked multiple times to hookup where she had said no and was uncomfortable with it. Being under the influence and saying yes doesn’t mean it’s fully consensual. she had also mentioned melanie did the same thing to timothy before.

The next tweets are about melanie’s former makeup artists who was treated poorly by melanie, she has stated that she had giving mel pr relationships, and was giving her free of charge makeup sessions. As melanie got more fame she started to treat Gina differently and badly. She started to take her stress out on Gina and would often lash out on her and speak to her in a bad manner, later on when Gina charged her for crybaby makeup as it was for mels crybaby album, Gina was not credited and Melanie had said “you’re not even a real makeup artist, you’re lucky i work with you”. as this hasn’t been spoken about more melanie has not defended herself or talked about it.

Tweets following up about Stella rose who played the mom in melanie’s MVs, she had said melanie was already a shitty person and was being called out for being an even more shittier person. she had expressed she was processing a mixture of frustration and relief. it has also been rumoured that Stella was in the K12 movie but her face was being cut out of the scenes which also let Stella to not liking melanie. but other people have spoken about how melanie had not treated them with respected and was quite rude.

The last screenshots are how about melanie has not fully come forward about timothy, instead she lets her fans defend her and lets them send death threats towards timothy. she especially shouldn’t thank fans for investigating a serious matter that have nothing to do with fans instead something that melanie herself should deal with. obviously someone who has gone through a traumatic experience is going to forget parts especially if it was years ago. melanie hasn’t come forward instead she made a distrack on the issue which is very childish and disgusting as it is a rape allegation.

Multiple fans think melanie should come forward and speak on all of this as she has ignored it and has been letting her fans harass people online. it’s been going on too long and she needs to come forward.

and no “she didn’t say no to the things we did” is not coming forward or addressing the situation. it’s not even proof that it didn’t happen.

last thing is, madeleine has spoken about how melanie also begged her over and over to do sexual things till the point that she gave in and said yes, that is also not consensual as she begged her to do it till she said yes. so when multiple people have the same thing happen to them it’s kinda bad.
