Random and non cohesive HB thoughts, particularly season 2:
I don’t condone or support Stella’s actions, but I am very disappointed in how she is written. Im fine with her being a villain, and I’ll even let a lack of a backstory slide! My main issues with Stella are:
A) Being 1 dimensional. Please, give her traits outside of “bitch” and “angry at Stolas”. The majority of the fan base already is (somehow) in support of Stolitz, you don’t need another prop to keep your ship going.
(subpoint to a): Also, not a fan of the “wife finds out that her husband is queer” trope, but whatever, she is a villain. Its pretty fucking basic though.
B) Her lines. My fucking gosh, her lines are so fucking flat and weightless. You’d think that something an abuser says would stick and sound intimidating, but no. We get “I LiKe ToRmEnTiNg YoU”. For fucks sake, what was that?! As someone who grew up with an abusive mother, I can confidently say that no one will say that. Its like they didnt respect their ADULT audience enough to figure things out and felt they had to have a giant ass neon sign screaming
“LOOK HERE, THIS IS ABUSIVE, SHE SAID SHE LIKES HURTING HIM! A-B-U-S-E! NOW GO AND FORGET ABOUT ANY TERRIBLY TOXIC THINGS STOLAS OR BLITZO HAVE DONE”
Clearly the show is meant for adult audiences. We don’t need to be told what is and isn’t abuse. Why not do a little something called “show vs tell”? Some alright examples they have previously done are the portraits usually having just Stolas and Octavia, or a pissed Stella. Or seeing how she threw a fucking imp butler across the room.
I got a bit off topic, but here are some ways id probably write her:
A narcissist. To the outside world, she is friendly Stella, who just likes to party and smile. She has a perfect family, and everyone loves her. But under the surface, in order to feel superior she puts Stolas down constantly, through verbal abuse and perhaps some physical. Her love for Octavia is conditional, she is only pleased as long as everyone is doing everything to her command. All this possibly stems from an inferiority complex that she desperately covers through a high ego, false confidence and making sure others feel lesser to her.
Some possible lines?:
“You are nothing without me. You think you can make it on your own without me? You cant even take care of Octavia, what makes you think you can handle yourself”
“You would choose a lowly imp over me? I guess I shouldn’t have expected more from someone as low as you”
“You don’t even deserve to have me, consider yourself lucky that I am willing to stay”
“You look so damn stupid like that, singing in your self pity. Had you stuck with me, you wouldn’t have been in that position.”
That or someone else mentioned Blitzo and Stella being childhood friends, her being arranged with Stolas, and then having the cheating incident
whoever had that idea is a genius.
C: Why is her design so damn good? I love fancy pigeons and they made her a fancy pigeon. (this isn’t a complaint but a thought)
Moving on from Stella, lets get to S2 E2…
I was so excited to have an episode where it wasn’t the Stolitz shipping show. I got my hopes too high.
The one positive thing Ill say is that I enjoyed the adoption flashback. Maybe I read too much into it but it feels kind of like a commentary in how shitty the adoption system is, especially to teenagers. Any kid really, as they’re treated like literal dogs, and then kicked out on the street.
Back to me complaining about shit:
For one, why did we spend so much fucking tome in that stupid ass sitcom? If Stolas is such a caring dad, shouldn’t he just leave and look for Octavia? So much character growth could have happened in that time.
I know that Loona didn’t just tell Octavia to just deal with her dad neglecting her just because “he’s trying”. Its HIS responsibility as a parent to take care of his kid, and Octavia has every right to be upset st him and her circumstances.
Her parents have been unstable, but after a divorce, even more so. Her dad has straight up ignored her, in favor of arguing with Stella. She did nothing wrong and has nothing to apologize for. I got so excited when Stolas started to apologize, but then Octavia apologized.
Did I mention that there was 4 minutes of Octavia and Loona together at most? Despite the thumbnail? Yeah, that blowed.
Honestly the only reason I keep up anymore is because of the animation and the weak dying hope that it’ll get better.
thats all ig, please don’t be rude in the comments. You can disagree but keep it civil. Going to bed now, bye
#hb critical#hb critique#aaaa i agree so much#stella is a flat character#kinda wish they didn't give her so much screentime if they weren't gonna make her an interesting villain#personally i wanted Stella portrayed similarly to mother gothel from tangled lmao#Gothel was a shit mom but knew how to balance her fake kindness with her abuse#and i thought.. idk. maybe Octavaia was going thru some similar manipulation#but ugh s2 is just not vibing with me 😭#and IMP hasn't done any jobs since like ep4... i am missing my imp family content yall asfghjk#idk if its the aroace in me but the heavy leaning on Stolitz (instead if it being a casual buildup to a functional relationship)#has made me not rlly like this ship#which... RIP because i know its endgame#i guess im just gonna deal with the crumbs of I.M.P. family content until hazbin drops#long post#very long post

Spoilers
Loona gets harder to like in every episode she's in istg
I liked her in season 1 when she seemed to be kinda improving, but the constant abuse towards Blitz and then saying HE is the one constantly screwing up (as her father figure) just kinda made me... Not like her at all anymore. Blitz is literally trying with her and she literally kicks him in the nuts for that. Blitz doesn't even try this hard for whatever he's got with Stolas who DOES like Blitz ugh
#me.txt#helluva spoilers#hb spoilers#this writing is not hitting me at all sorry#so far s2 is kinda bland imo

Yeah!! I watched Helluva first, then watched Hazbin afterwards (wrong order, but it happens lol). I haven't made any posts on HH though since I think everyone already made gifs and other posts of the Pilot episode already,,, and I don't have any specific favorites from Hazbin yet too ff
#asks#sapphicwriter87#aa i joined this fandom bc of helluva but i might get more into hazbin in the future tbh#since im interested in angel dust and alastor (fandom faves ik but im unoriginal as hell)

mm I'm still kinda on the fence about s/tolitz. I like Stolas and Blitz, I like their personal stories and how they're growing as characters, but the way their relationship together is moving has so far not appealed to me much.
BUT I DO NOT HATE THE SHIP.. Its just... not interesting for me. Altho maybe its bc I'm an enemies-to-lovers dumbass half the time.
#me.txt#i dont hate the ship!! 😭#but its just.. not rlly taking my interest ig#i think its bc there hasn't really been any positive progress in their relationship yet (and ngl that does feel a bit frustrating for me)#and fluffing up their past history isn't gonna change any of the problems they have in the present time#idk i am just trying so hard to like this endgame ship and flailing around in 2 inch water like im drowning

can i point this out?
baby stolas had a book on botany, which is the scientific study of plants and herbs, he even gets excited and goes on a small tangent about plants before blitzo cuts him off, which tells us he's really interested in them.
and what do we see stolas growing up with?
his pet, carnivorous, plant.
we even see that compared to when it was under paimon's rule, in the present the mansion is filled with plants.
it's a small detail, but stolas really loves nature, doesn't he?

It makes me SICK to my stomach to know that Stolas has only pictures like this on his phone.
Pictures of a grumpy Blitz who obviously looks like he couldn’t hate being in his presence more. Pictures that show him that whatever they had really wasn´ t what he told himself it was. In one fucking night he is losing ANY proof that the thing between him and Blitz was more than fucking and him just hanging on to a thread to feel something.
Then meanwhile …
Blitz is the one who has a picture of him and Stolas being together. ANd he is genuinely smiling. He has the proof that beneath every fucked up aspect of their relationship, there are true feelings. That he cares.
AND STOLAS CANT FUCKING SEE THAT NOW !!!
