The creative boy

Stolas is NOT a good father at all 😶

it is a problem when your child feels neglected by you and octavia is incredibly sheltered (to her detriment) bc growing up she and stolas were (it seems) more attached at the hip and therefore she was used to being given his undivided attention

but...the only "friend-like" person you have in your life being your parent/kid is an unhealthy dynamic, and not one i necessarily blame stolas for forming - he was also incredibly sheltered, plus shamed and ignored by the other goetia (not to mention surviving domestic abuse) so his daughter being the only person he's friends with until he re-meets blitzø makes a lot of sense especially in abusive environments

now that is not to say i condone his prioritizing his feelings for blitzø over his relationship with octavia, bc i do not BUT something in their relationship HAD to change bc the codependency was unhealthy and even if stella never hit octavia like she did stolas raising a child in domestic violence is still child abuse (not victim blaming stolas but this IS food for thought) so even if stolas didn't handle the divorce...mmm...let's say with octavia as the priority (bc yelling insults at the other parent in front of the child is not okay) it was still necessary even if poorly handled

Stolas only considered Octavia when he discovered he wasn't going to die; he was ready to be beheaded and didn't even think about how his daughter would be until the last second.

Does this sound like something a good father would do? I don't think so.

Oh yeah, and he constantly neglected Octavia to stay with the man he abused and sexually coerced. This it gets even worse the more I think about it.

Oh yeah, it's been confirmed that Vassago was friends with Stolas before Blitz, even though he didn't give any indication of it during the series, and that contradicts some things in the plot.

Stolas is a sexual predator the uses he's past to guilt Blitz into being with him.

He used his grimoire and Blitz stealing it as black mail to rape Blitz monthly. He then gaslights Blitz into thinking he was wrong in his way of thinking, that being the relationship was entirely sexual, which it was. CONSTANTLY sexually harasses blitz despite him being uncomfortable with it! Literally treats him like a ash try despite Blitz having trauma with fire.

He treats his daughter like shit, prioritizing his wants over her NEEDS. It's heavily implied he doesnt give her an education or facilitate her having any sort of socialization, which is abuse! He acts sexually in front of her!!! He cared more about fooling around with Blitz rather then finding his daughter in a place he KNOWS has DEMON HUNTERS [DHORKS]. He tries to gaslight her into thinking everything she's feeling is wrong and incorrect!

He treats imps like accessories, servants and toys.

Yes, Stolas committed sexual coercion. The "contract" he makes with Blitz literally fits the definitions of sexual coercion.

And no, he didn't delete the comments, I can still comment on this post just fine.

And Blitz is a jerk to his employees... okay? Should that somehow erase what Stolas does or make it less bad? I mean, it just proves he's a racist son of a bitch.

And even though Blitz is a jerk, Millie has already partially called him out on it in Ghostuffers. Sure, it's not even a third of what he should be called out for the way he treats his employees, but it's way more than Stolas ever gets.

sexual coercion is defined as pressureing or manipulating somebody into having sex Stolas did neither of these things he clearly explained the circumstances of the deal. He asked blitz if he would agree to it and blitz did. Sex work should not be viewed as more crude or exploitative than any other form of work.

Making someone sign a contract with you while they're running for their life and making that perfectly clear to you is anything but asking.

And Blitz can't do his job without the grimoire, so he accepts. This is literally sexual coercion for work.

He committed sexual coercion, so much so that Blitz himself sees himself chained to him, as shown in the hallucination he had.

Blitz was literally crying like a child, begging and saying he would do whatever Stolas wanted when he said he was going to get the book back permanently. Tell me, does that seem normal or something that was done with consent?

Blitz only accepted out of fear of losing his job; there was no real consent here.

And no, Stolas is never a full call-out. The only time he's relatively a call-out is in Ozzies, and that it.

Stolas is never called out or held accountable for the narrative after that; on the contrary, he is constantly victimized by the narrative.

When Blitz, with full reason, called Stolas out in Full Moon, he was portrayed as the one in the wrong and Stolas as the victim of the situation.

And when he tries to point out that Stolas is a racist, classist, and that he looks down on imps, the narrative, again, portrays him as the one in the wrong.

Octavia cutting ties with Stolas isn't used to call him out or hold him accountable for his mistakes; it's only used to make him suffer and elicit pity and empathy from the audience.

But at no point is Octavia cutting ties with Stolas portrayed as his fault. All the suffering Stolas goes through in this episode is solely to victimize him and garner pity from the audience.

Blitz is still calling out and trying to be better for his employees. Stolas, however, hasn't done that.

And sorry, but no, it's not the same thing. Blitz might be an asshole, yes, but he doesn't reduce his employees to stress toys like Stolas did.

Stolas, without any problem, was using one of his servants as a squeezing a stress doll, without caring if he was hurting him.

He was literally reducing a living being to a toy, and he never a callout for that. Never call him out for being the classist racist that he is.

Ribbit is not shocked or scared or disturbed, she just accepts it right away and comforts him. granted, sure, Jax probably didn't mean to hurt or kill his mom. it was an impulsive action. whatever.

but i feel like you should realistically react a little more than just "eh it happens. she's probably fine". is Ribbit just used to their friends casually admitting to manslaughter?

and this is basically how the show treats Jax's behavior too. "eh it's fine that he threw Ragatha into a deep fryer. look, she's okay!" "Gangle doesn't really mind being abused by Jax. see, she agrees with him instead of blaming him for what he did!"

How can you watch a show where Gangle, the one character who was abused by him the most, literally says “why can’t I cry for him?” and somehow come away from that thinking the show says “gangle doesn’t really mind being abused by Jax.” It’s literally spelled out for you and you STILL got it wrong. If TADC was an open book test you’d still manage to fail it. How is that even possible??

To take Ribbit’s attempt to comfort someone who is clearly regretting their actions and being vulnerable about a terrible traumatic experience and come away from that believing the show is suggesting they’re brushing away MANSLAUGHTER and excusing his behavior towards others is absolutely insane. You’re actually insane if that’s how you read that. What the fuck is wrong with you? Are you just incapable of expressing empathy in the slightest?

There’s a lot you can criticize the show for… but this is absurd. I don’t even like Jax as a character, but even I’m able to have empathy for him. Empathy isn’t forgiveness. Jax’s actions aren’t brushed away. And Jax abstracts because he did that to himself. You don’t think the show punishes him? He’s the only core main character who abstracts.

It's not wild to say that the show never calls out Jax, because that's true. The narrative and characters never truly call out Jax for the constant abuse he committed against everyone in the circus.

Even if the OP was wrong about one thing or another, that doesn't make them sociopaths; you're extremely stupid for thinking that.

And Boo hoo fucking hoo, people aren't sympathizing with an abuser, a bully, someone who tormented everyone's lives and didn't apologize until the end of his life, poor Jax 😭 We're all sociopaths because of that.

Bojack Horseman was one of Vivziepop’s biggest inspirations for both Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss. …which is extremely hard to tell.
