Pro Stella - Tumblr Posts

The thing is, Stella was raised in such a way that her self-worth is entirely dependent on approval from the Ars Goetia.

Being a wife and mother were effectively her jobs, jobs that represented the total value of her life to her.

The marriage was something where both her and Stolas shared relatively minimal responsibilities, and Stolas couldn't even uphold those.

When you couple all of this with Stella being a naturally temperamental person raised in a world where violent and extreme solutions to interpersonal conflict are commonplace, it's honestly impressive she managed to hold out for as long as she did.

Fuck it imma be the one to say it Vivi you can use as many excuses as you want try and justify it as much as you like but it wont change the fact Stolas still cheated !!!

HOLY FUCK!!! I never thought about how awful that would be for her. Poor Stella... :(

I think the root of Stella's more toxic behaviors is that, with the possible exceptions of Andre and Octavia, literally no one has ever valued Stella as an actual person. I'm pretty sure if Octavia ever hugged her and told her she loved her, Stella would just started bawling.

And if Stella really was a fussy kid, it's possible she's so bratty because her parents were so emotionally detached and neglectful that they just gave her whatever she wanted to avoid provoking her temper instead of teaching her to manage it and channel it into something positive.

Actually, the first show in the trilogy, "A Very Potter Musical" has a duet between Quirrel and Voldemort that sounds almost like it was written for Series!Stolas and Pilot!Stolas. LINK

I'm not sure how familiar, if at all, you are with Team Starkid. There a musical theatre group who got their start with a trilogy of Harry Potter parody musicals while still in college. I bring them up because I recently rewatched a bunch of their shows and started thinking about a potential HB fan-musical with the basic premise of Stolas NOT getting woobififed and also some other changes to characters, either to make up for the flaws in the series writing or to mock said flaws.

One idea I had was Stolas using his higher rank to force Stella (and Octavia, when she chooses to be with her mother) into hiding, possibly with Striker. Partly for character exploration potential between the three and partly for strella because I'm am feral for them.

I was hoping to get some ideas, even if individual or running gags, from you :)

Of course hon bounce ideas off me anytime :3

I haven’t heard of that before. Nothing better than some cathartic satire. I am also interested in the Strella but I wouldn’t want to keep pushing the Goetia x Imp thing it seems a bit excessive now

I imagine Moxxie being the first to point it out and Blitz tells him off but later tells Stolas that Mox is right and they need a proper gig soon but Stolas just gives him a bunch of money and gaslights him about it.

Also, you know that I wrote this right before going to sleep when I forgot that the word "fulfillment" exists. The fuck is wrong with me?

Now Some More Stuff!!!

Every time Octavia tries to talk to Stolas he interrupts her before she can finish a sentence and reacts to what he assumes she was going to say, which is, of course, something that assumes she agrees with his self-pitying view of his life.

An inverse of the ending of Seeing Stars, as in, Loona's occasional aggression towards the rest of the team is resolved (at least partly) through her interaction both with Blitz and with Via.

I'm still working out the Harvest Moon Festival/Pain Games equivalent, but the idea is that Striker participates to act as a diversion for IMP and potentially someone else who could be after Stella and Octavia, speaking of them, they could be disguised as imps in this segment. Maybe Blitz and Moxxie compete together since Striker taunted them both (I like the idea that it takes Striker some time to respect either of them, making him slightly more dynamic and helping with Moxxie's arc and his dynamic with Blitz)

To clarify the last one, the mid segment of the show would have Blitz slowly realizing he's being exploited while he and the team search for the mother daughter duo since Stolas passive-aggressively threatened and/or guilt-tripped Blitz into feeling he has to find them.

Also, to give Mills some actual characterization and more chemistry with Moxxie, she has MAD shop skills, customizing IMP's weapons and later her family tell her she can't be in the Pain Games... Because she' been chosen as the lead organizer, which in Wrath's super rugged nature, means she literally constructs all the event courses herself.

More Song Ideas!

A comedy ensemble number with all of IMP in act 1 with them doing a regular hit.

Another comedic song with Blitz, Moxxie and Striker in the pain games, maybe Millie's family joins in during the chorus. While still comedic, this one would mainly develop Moxxie and to lesser extent, the other guys.

Of course, Stolas has a proper villain song (one that starts with him pouting that Via is mad that he forgot something she was excited for, Azatoth's Tears or otherwise). The song itself would have Stolas lament relatively small things in his life while saying that "Blitzy" makes him forget them, tacitly admitting that he views Octavia as a problem, and how he's happy that Blitz is his and his alone, and that that's perfectly just since it makes up for his own personal suffering.

Both a song and a joke, Moxxie tries to sing to Millie multiple times and gets interrupted each time. However, he only starts the song once, every other time he sings it it's actually the next verse, a non-live viewer could piece it together and the song could be a bonus on the soundtrack.

Rest assured, there will be more to come.

More ideas for "Helluva A Rewritten Musical":

Jokes, Running Gags and Story Moments With A Comedic Twist :

After the Ozzie's equivalent Stolas' actor would wear a different wig after every two scenes, with each having more grey feathers than the last, until, by his final scene, all his hair/feathers are grey

The first time we see the M&Ms is their morning routine, Millie enters the scene first, with curlers/rollers in her hair, then Moxxie enter with curlers/rollers in his hair AND in his sideburns.

Wally appears a few times, he's exactly the same as in the show but has a much deeper voice to contrast with the high-pitched, scratchy voice Don Darryl Rivera does in the actual series

We only see Andre once, during a half and half split of the stage to show his phone conversation with Stella, later, in hiding (Yes, I'm going with that idea for the time being), Via asks why they could ask him for help and Stella reveals he got in hot water for drunkenly hitting on one of his cousins.

If we go down the Strella route, we could have some early bonding when Striker hisses at a minor frustration and Stella very obviously finds it attractive, because both snakes and swans hiss as a defense mechanism. In response to this Octavia let's out a sharp exhale that ends up sounding like a hoot.

A member of IMP pointing out how little actual hits they've been carrying out since getting pulled into the divorce drama, poking fun at the show abandoning it's original premise, maybe build on it by having Stolas be the only character who doesn't seen an issue with that.

Song Ideas (The Good Stuff):

An opening number or at least early song where Blitz sings about how, by running his own business, he has freedom to make good life for himself. The song would immediately be followed by some form of bad news.

A flashback duet between young Stolas and Stella, meeting for the first time, promising to make their situation work. Stella's lyrics make it clear she hopes that she will find some form of personal fufilled-ness in the relationship, while Stolas' make it clear that he plans on taking every chance to distract himself from what will be his family.

Striker having a song where he tries to console Via, because he can tell that she is in no way personally responsible for the shit she's going through, big stepdad energy, slightly more comedic elements towards the end of the song. This would play into Striker's arc, realizing that not all royals ae truly malicious and finding sympathy for them because he comes to view them as too sheltered for their own good.

A climactic duet between Striker and Blitz, after Blitz realizes that Stolas is a complete shitsack, during the song they're fighting over a blessed revolver to see who gets to kill the jizz-soaked feather duster.

That's all I got for now, more to come :D

Very beautiful. Your mind. Your vision.

Especially the meta commentary I NEED that scene to happen

The part of HRM I've had the most fun developing

There's a particular part of Helluva Rewritten Musical that I've been thinking about more than any other. That being the sequence that focuses on Stella and Octavia's relationship and personal issues while their hiding out in Wrath.

Some of this I've only previously shared with @pinkandpurple360 , whose insights about HB's writing and general willingness to help me develop these ideas has been invaluable to HRM as a whole, and especially to this scene.

Bare in mind this is just an early outline, though I plan to keep the specific lines of dialogue as I'm really proud of it.

The sequence begins with Stella, Octavia and Striker entering a hideout Striker had prepared for the Goetia women while they were in hiding with him as their bodyguard. Towards the back of the stage there's a door slightly to the left and a couch slightly to the right.

Stella is very anxious as she recognized Blitz in an earlier scene and decides that for the remainder of their "exile" that she and Via have to disguise themselves as lower rank hellborns, something Octavia says she doesn't know how to do.

This revelation infuriates Stella as she lashes out in indignation that Via can't manifest a disguise, she says she'll explain it to Via later but that in the meantime, Striker has to find a succubus and off them for their asmodean crystal.

Striker nods and exits the scene.

Here Octavia reveals that she tried to learn on her own but couldn't get the hang of it and, due to his self-absorbed and neglectful nature, Stolas never actually helped her manifest a disguise, something Stella herself only learnt by watching her brother practice, as typically only a Goetia's heir is taught the skill.

Stella yells at Via that she needs a moment to collect her thoughts and that they'll back to the disguise talk later.

Stella then goes into another room in the hideout, something depicted with Stella walking through the door at the back of the stage as Via exits stage right, then Stella re-enters through the same door, representing her entering another room and the scene changing.

Here the show arrives at Stella's solo number, wherein she vents her frustration that she's never been listened to despite being a noble, during the song she comes to the realization she isn't frustrated that she hasn't been listened to, but that she's never had meaningful agency over what matters to her (her status, the respect of the Ars Goetia, etc...), except for her relationship with Via.

I've yet to come up with any satisfactory titles for Stella's song, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

After the song ends Stella decides that she has to smooth things over with Via. The scene changes in the same way as before, this time, while Stella is behind the door Via enters stage right, sitting down on the couch, frustrated trying to manifest a disguise. Her attempts are represented by brief moments of purple lighting illuminating her corner of the stage, that's when Stella enters and sit down next to her. The lights only illuminate there half of the stage.

The two talk about the frustration they've been suppressing for as long as they've been living with Stolas, which unfortunately for Via, includes her whole life up to that point, she also expresses anger at her mother and how distant she's been during the affair drama. This gets Stella emotional and prompts this exchange between them:

Stella: I just hope you can understand, Dear. All I've ever had is my place in the world, and now-now I've lost my own and cost you yours. * Stella rests her head in one of her hands as the other stays between her and Via on the couch* What could I ever have now? *Stella's voice is shaky and she clearly feels she's lost everything, she's on the verge of tears*

There's a moment of silence between the two

Octavia: *Takes hold of Stella's free hand and gently moves it over her chest* A place in my heart, mom. You'll always have that. *She lets go of her mother's hand but Stella holds in there for a moment before she slowly pulls it back*

Octavia starts leaning in for a hug but Stella quickly hugs her first, Via is surprised but than happy to finally see her mom feel something positive again.

The lights over the other half of the stage light up showing Striker holding the crystal he was sent to get, he's seen at least part of their exchange, and though he tries to hide it, has obviously been emotionally impacted by it himself.

Striker: I-uh-I ha- *His voice is noticeably warbly before he clears his throat* I have the crystal, ma'am. *He holds it up and pauses for a moment while processing the emotions brought on from seeing such a loving moment from people he'd dismissed as emotionally vacant and vapid husks up until that point* Jus' thought ya should know.

Stella thanks him but also makes a comment about how Via likely won't be using it very long. She than asks Via to remind her of what part of the disguise spell she was having trouble with.

The stage goes dark as everyone and everything is prepared for the next scene.

And that's where the scene stands for now. Really hope someone enjoys reading this as much as I did writing it, there's more HRM to come so keep your eyes peeled! And remember that I'm accepting asks about the project!

Literally not one person in the show has been confirmed to find Stolas attractive, and given the sheer number of jokes in this show that amount to someone using weird phrases to say that they want to fuck someone else, that's impressive.

"Stella forced herself on Stolas! She hates him because she hates the idea that he's not attracted to her!"

"Blitzø likes Stolas! He just acts like he doesn't because he's afraid of letting someone getting too close to him!"

Say it with me, everyone. . .

Any thoughts on the revised version in comparison to the version we discussed, @pinkandpurple360?

I'd really appreciate any feedback. :)

You fool! You released my brainrot about them! Now you must bare all these cute ideas!

Stella spent two and a half decades with a man she can't stand and who can't stand her, this combined with her daughter becoming closed off means it's been a long while since Stella felt genuine affection. Why am I bringing this up? Because we all know that Mam is touch-starved, there is no way in Heaven he is not spending every available moment reminding his swan that she's the most perfect demon ever, this would be doubly significant for them since Mammon's primary love language is 100% touch. Hugs, kisses, nuzzles, gently stroking her hair, every imaginable way someone could appreciate Stella's body and general presence is something Mammon does. Including in the bedroom ;)

Matching. Outfits. So many of them! Stella gets at least as many as Mammon has, same shade of green but with her white and pink accenting it, instead of Mam's black and yellow. If she complains about a given outfit even once the finest tailors Greed has to offer are already at the palace doors and the ones who originally made it just so happen to get dead in an accident with some "faulty wiring".

Since the Sins generally have a less formal and up-tight life style than the Goetic nobility it takes some time for Via and especially Stella to adjust, this actually helps the two bond more as Stella finally feels comfortable enough to let herself actually explore those slight "peasant" interests that have been piling up in the back of her mind her whole life.

Mammon becomes an honorary member of The Gossip Girls(tm) with Stella and her two besties. (Wish someone would make some fan content that expands on those two BTW) Because you just know he has tea to spill.

Via is pleasantly surprised when Mammon first tries to bond with her because, unlike Stol-ass, he comes clean that he doesn't really understand teens and is willing to let her explore her interests and join in on any they happen to share. Initially, as part of his father complex denial, Mam tells himself he's doing it for Stella's sake, but eventually finds himself genuinely having fun with Octavia and soon he's as protective of her as he is of Stella. And yes, he does teach Via how to FUCKING SHRED!

When Mam and Stella eventually get married it's Hell's biggest event in well over two centuries. All of Greed turns into a massive parade celebrating their new queen for at least two full days. No sounds of gunfire, no one getting mugged in allies over 5 souls, no one typing away at new adds for their pyramid schemes, just a celebration of seemingly impossible love.

The actual wedding itself ends up being the biggest non-business expense in Greed's history, every single person involved in the reception is handpicked by Mammon to make sure every single aspect is perfect.

And closing off with some Stol-ass hate: He basically becomes a hermit for a week after the wedding, trying to act like he doesn't care. He does, he so fucking does. To his surprise, he gets a card a few days later, It's a photo of Stella and Mammon kissing at the altar, Mam is holding her in his lower arms while one of his upper arms strokes her hair, she's caressing his cheek. They're both flipping the camera off with their free hand. Stolas turns the card around to see this message written on the back:" I would say sorry, but you don't deserve it. -O".

Mammon x Stella is so fuckin cute, neither of them have to budge even a little from how evil and despicable they are. But they can just be cute together and evil in their own little world

Plus the stepdad thing and Vias rant about corporate shame I saw in one of Chai’s anons makes it even better

“I’d be sorry if I’d hurt you but we both know I didn’t do that”

I think this is the worst one of all, mainly because, horrifyingly, he's being 100% honest. He's not trying to manipulate anyone, he genuinely believes that his actions did not hurt Stella emotionally in any way. Such is his inability to empathies that he can't register that Stella's upbringing would make her extremely dependent on approval from the Ars Goetia.

It actually makes a lot of sense if you look at how they're early childhoods would've differed. Stella was born (laid?) to eventually become a wife and mother, Stol-ass on the other hand, while still planned to become a father, was primarily to control his own legions and have a specific role in the nobility. Up until Paimon told him he's engaged, he likely had no idea he'd have any responsibilities in life other than commanding others, while his behavior definitely stems from nature (in more ways than one), his nurture actually makes his villainous actions that much more logical and compelling to watch... If only his villainy was taken seriously.

This is literally Stol-ass' enitre character:

This too.

“I’d be sorry if I’d hurt you but we both know I didn’t do that”

“Cheating implies there was a betrayal!”

“I’m glad you aren’t upset! I know you can handle any stupid joke a clown can make”

What do you mean "can be"? Stella IS a more tragic character than 🦉 and honestly, I feel comfortable saying that any other writer in the indie animation industry would recognize and acknowledge that.

I can't find the post where you said it, but I remember a joke you made where you said Blitz's first word was "Stolas", but just you watch, we'll eventually get a flashback of kid!Blitz sleeping, cuddled up with an owl plushie. (Of course with Fizz nowhere to be seen)

On a side note, I have a theory about Stella, she only exists because it was discovered that Andre wouldn't be able to have kids, hence why Stella was conceived. This also fits with the common assumption that Andre is roughly 10/11 years older, as it would be around that time that any developmental issues with hormones/reproduction would start surfacing. Andrealphus would be their parents' heir, while Stella would be the kid that gets married off. As if her life wasn't already miserable enough, Stella may be living with the knowledge that she's just a way to make up for her brother's "inadequacy" :(

Ugh. Stop. So gross.

That’s really devastating actually…Stella can easily be a more tragic character than stolas could ever be

Yeah, my response was rhetorical. Viv is unique in both the lengths and stupidity of her bad writing choices.

His constant lying and failure to educate Via is just another example of how Stolas is a worse father than Paimon. I think he lies because he thinks Via not knowing how toxic the Ars Goetia are will shield her from it's toxicity, when it will only make it a thousand times worse when it actually hits her.

Also, yeah, it's really sad to see that Via has essential zero social life, especially with how many parties Stella throws. You'd think that at least some other noble would've taken their kid to meet Via when they were young.

Side note, if Stolas and Stella were engaged at 10, why has the fact that Via should've already been engaged for the better part of a decade not been addressed at all? Will we see her get engaged against her will in season 3 and have this plot point used to make her like Stolas again and turn on her mother? Probably.

What really bothers me about Octavia is, like, does she have no friends, no peers?? If she’s heir to the Goetia family, has she been doing any training or studying for her “role” if something did happen to Stolas?? Does she even know what that role is, because Stolas had clearly been preparing for his job since he was a very young child (even though we have yet to see him do anything related to his job outside of the Harvest Moon Festival)??

Like Stolas with Blitz, her only existence is to be completely obsessed with one another character and never shut up about them. She has never passed the Bechdel test. I love via but her one personality trait is ‘i love my dad’ that’s it. Viv won’t let her have anything else. And if she does give via something it’ll either be her hating other women (probably her mom) or her getting a obsessive crush on a boy.

Yeah, stolas has been preparing for whatever his job is, reading stars or some shit—his whole life, and it’s clear that even Paimon had to have stolas out of obligation. Maybe even as a ‘precaution’ as well considering he had many children, this usually means plenty are needed in case anything happens to them.

No, she knows nothing. Stolas does nothing but lie to her by omission every single day of her life. He makes Stella do the same. And still sees himself as the victim.

All of her training and studying is impossible if the grimoire is in someone else’s possession. Stolas doesn’t even tell her that his marriage was arranged, and why she was born. He can’t even tell her about the divorce, unless it’s all offscreen. For some reason he thinks it’s better to just keep it all a secret and lie to her face every single day, then turn around and say “I’ve endured so much for that girl!!” He waits until she has a horrific mental breakdown, cuts him out entirely, and has to come to the conclusions all alone. She asks if she was an obligation and he keeps fucking lying saying “no” instead of “I had to have a child, it’s true, I’m so sorry. but you were the best thing that ever came from this awful situation.” Just tell her the truth

Let Stella and Blitz lead us in making this pathetic fucking man suffer!

I'd actually really like to see a fic where they team up to take the prick down.

Also, are his feathers greying or not? Make up your damn mind, Vivienne.

This is an official print :

Opinions everyone? Theories?

Of-fucking-course you're pro-stella and anti-Stolas. Jesus fucking Christ... Hope you don't have a total meltdown when future positive episodes surrounding Stolas and Blitz get released.

I won't because I know that they're only happening because Vivienne wants them to and that realistically, Blitz would eventually snap out of the manipulation and get Stolas out of his life.

AUs and fics exist for many reasons, and one reason is that sometimes viewers who happen to be writers themselves can't tolerate the bad and in some instances potentially harmful writing in canon.

I know that the series won't give Stella a happy ending, that's exactly why I focus so much on her.

We know for a fact that Stolas was originally going to be a major villain in the series and was retconned into being "mIsgUIdEd" during the production of season 2. All this means Stella was more likely than not, originally framed as at least somewhat sympathetic by the narrative. The reason I point out the implied and/or inherent nuances to Stella's character is because they're an inevitable holdover from a version of the show that would have been far superior to the product we received.

The reason I'm pro-Stella is because she, as a character, deserved to be handled with more tact.

If you take that much of an issue with these stances, I suggest you just block, and move on with your day.

This.... This is true art that understands the character better than the creator. Well done.

Eyes of hell are on her, watching her every move, pressuring her, forcing her to play a role she never wanted to play.
