molly says, ' the cosmic divorce feud, scary as it was, helped reunite me with my brothers and parents. the scorched earth event over stella (the half imp) nearly killing via( the cosmic forged) came. we need armies of demons and angels to stop them, and I helped my family to get the citizens to shelter. the only thing that can stop the goetias is charlie showing a vision of via's tearful pleas. after that, while desdemona is spending comfort time with her husband and her son, emily and the rest of us heaven crew were weeping. we cant believe that such hatred nearly ended the cosmos. me and emily decided to move to the hotel to help out, once we settled our own things. when we moved there, em and sal soon hit it off, and I get to be the hazbin crew's new stylist. I helped style the goetias into more understated luxury as opposed to their previously more theatrical goth cuts. even gremory told me that those old goth robes they wore felt so hollow after everything.'
Quotes from citizens who observed the Tarantellas' return
• A former Little Italy tavern owner: "The Capones left a mess. The Tarantellas, they came back, and the first thing Henroin does? Walks into my place, orders a glass of red wine, and hands me a stack of money. 'For the trouble,' he says. 'We're home.'"
• A retired dockworker in Sicily: "The Tarantellas didn't forget who they were. They got to New York, built a new kingdom, and then came back to their old one stronger. You don't see that much loyalty in the mob. And they gave us jobs, honest work. You always knew where you stood with them."
• A young sinner who heard stories from her parents: "My father used to say the Tarantellas' presence in New York was like a storm cloud with a silver lining. Yeah, they were mobsters, but the city was cleaner when they were around. People felt safer. And when they left, it was like the sky went grey again."
Quotes from fashion industry insiders
• A Hell-born designer who admired Molly's work: "The Goetias... they were all theatrical and loud. Molly changed that. She gave them a quiet strength. It wasn't about the robes anymore; it was about the power in the simplicity. That's a true artist, right there. She doesn't just dress the person, she dresses their future."
• A Schiaparelli design house intern: "We heard whispers of this Molly Tarantella, a new stylist for the demon royals. Then we saw the results. The Goetias finally looked like the old-money royalty they were. Understated, expensive, and a little terrifying. That's the Schiaparelli way, not those new-money Guccis."
• A gossiping former client of the Capones: "The Capones never had taste. They wore loud suits with garish gold and expected you to be impressed. The Tarantellas? You wouldn't know their power just from their clothes. Armani or Schiaparelli, they knew the difference. It was never about the flash with them, it was always about the substance."
Quotes about the cosmic event
• A weathered, ancient demon: "We thought it was the end. You hear tales of cosmic rifts, but to see it... to feel the cosmos unraveling... and then, just like that, it stops. The little imp's plea... I still have no words. It's a reminder of what the smallest act of love can achieve."
• An impish baker who sheltered his family: "When Molly came and told us to get inside, we just did it. You don't question a Tarantella. I thought it was another turf war, but then the sky started to tear. I thought it was all over. I held my kids, and then... it just stopped. That little princess, she saved us. She saved all of us."
• A newly arrived sinner, hearing the stories for the first time: "So... a tearful plea from an angelic baby stopped the end of everything? That's what you're telling me? And the Goetias, the ones who were gonna rip reality apart, just stopped? I thought Hell was about eternal torment, not a cosmic family drama. What is this place?"
Quotes commenting on the Goetia family
• A Goetia servant who witnessed the aftermath: "The theatrical robes... hollow, she called them. She's right. After all that hatred, all that power thrown around... it felt empty. The new styles, they don't hide anything. It's just them, in their power, but without the pretense. It feels more honest."
• Gremory herself, speaking softly to Molly: "Our robes felt like a costume for a part we were forced to play. Thank you for helping us find ourselves again, even after everything. The silence of the new designs feels... peaceful."
• Vassago, speaking to Ipos in private: "The human told me that the only thing louder than our old fashions was our family drama. She wasn't wrong. The simplicity is a relief. It lets our power speak for itself."
Headcanons for the Goetia family's new styles
Stolas: After suffering through the events and his subsequent reunion with his siblings, Stolas adopts a more grounded, yet still elegant, wardrobe [1, 2, 5].
• He might trade his elaborate, feathered collars for sleek, dark suits with subtle, celestial-themed detailing. Think fine cashmere blazers with velvet lapels and star-patterned pocket squares.
• The exaggerated, bell-bottomed trousers could be replaced with more tailored, slim-cut pants.
• His formalwear could feature a midnight-blue tuxedo with a hidden, high-end lining that includes a constellation pattern.
• For less formal occasions, he could sport a simple yet luxurious silk smoking jacket with tailored trousers.
Amethyst (Paimon's wife and mother of the Goetia siblings): As the mother of the Goetia siblings and a figure of ancient power, Amethyst's style would command respect and exhibit timeless elegance [1, 2, 5].
• She would favor custom-made, floor-length gowns that drape beautifully and feature intricate, hand-stitched detailing.
• Her color palette could range from deep indigos and purples to rich emeralds and blacks, avoiding anything overly flashy.
• Think structured, flowing garments with a hint of surrealist Schiaparelli influence, such as a dress with subtle, almost invisible, cosmic patterns.
• Her jewelry would be tasteful and minimal, perhaps a single piece of a cosmic gemstone.
Ipos: With his new focus on his family with Desdemona, Ipos's attire would reflect his newfound maturity and passion, moving away from past aggression [3, 5, 6].
• He might prefer leather jackets and vests made from the finest materials, paired with well-fitting, custom-tailored shirts.
• His clothing would be practical yet stylish, possibly featuring motifs related to his dragon-like form or his powers [1, 3, 5].
• For formal events, he could choose a sharp, dark suit that highlights his powerful build without being ostentatious.
• The Targaryen-like aesthetic would be translated into dark, finely tailored garments, perhaps with dragon-scale textures on the lining or trim [1].
Vassago: As the eldest brother and a key participant in the Schiaparelli schemes, Vassago's style would be understated but carry an air of authority [1, 5, 12].
• His clothing would be minimalist and expensive, focusing on the quality of the fabric and the cut rather than excessive embellishment.
• He might wear well-tailored, classic suits in deep, earthy tones or timeless neutrals.

• His fashion philosophy would lean towards Giorgio Armani's clean lines and effortless elegance [12].
The younger siblings (Orobas, Gaap, and Seir): As the younger members, their styles might be a bit more fashion-forward while still adhering to the new, luxurious standard [1, 5].
• Orobas might favor smart-casual blazers and trousers, with a hint of bohemian flair, perhaps with a well-placed scarf or unique belt buckle.
• Gaap could embrace a more structured, almost military-inspired aesthetic with sharp, tailored jackets and high-quality boots.
• Seir, with a more energetic personality, might sport a modern, chic style with bold color choices within the luxury palette, like a vibrant silk shirt under a neutral blazer.

• Astaroth might wear flowing, couture-like gowns that are dramatic but not theatrical, perhaps with asymmetrical cuts or unique draping.
• Gremory could favor sophisticated, sharp suits and separates, channeling a powerful, boss-like energy with impeccable tailoring and luxurious fabrics.
Veritos (Ipos and Desdemona's son): As a newer addition to the family dynamic and Lord of Purgatory, Veritos's style would be a blend of influences, reflecting his mixed heritage [1, 4, 5, 6].
• He might wear modern, fashion-forward clothing with nods to ancient styles.
• His color palette could incorporate both the traditional black of hell and the softer, more ethereal colors of purgatory.
• Perhaps a slim-fitting black suit with subtle, intricate silver embroidery, reflecting his celestial and infernal roots.
Overall family aesthetic: The family's style shifts from the flamboyant goth theatricality to a subtle display of wealth and power [1, 5]. It aligns with the Schiaparelli and Armani sensibilities, focusing on quality, fit, and timeless design over overt flashiness [12]. The new Goetia look is less about demanding attention and more about exuding quiet, unshakeable confidence [5].

Here are some headcanon quotes from Desdemona about seeing Ipos in his new style:

• "He looked at me with that same intensity he always has, but now it was framed by a simple, elegant silhouette. He was just as handsome, just as powerful, but with a new layer of sophistication" [0].
• "I felt like we were back in Venice, before all the madness, when it was just us against the world. He looks like a man who has found his peace, and that's the most beautiful thing of all" [0].
In his stylish new era, Stolas projects an understated elegance that still holds a hint of his theatrical nature, as recalled by Blitzo in the following headcanon quotes: [0]
On first seeing Stolas after the "cosmic divorce feud":
"When I saw him after all that, it was... different. He wasn't all big feathered collar and dramatic capes anymore. He was wearing something fitted, darker, almost subtle. But the fabric... that shit still cost more than my apartment. Like he was still royalty, but not yelling about it." [0]
On comparing Stolas's old style and new style:
"He used to dress like some kinda flamboyant stage performer from the 1800s. All ruffles and peacocking. Now he's more like... a fancy art dealer. Or a cool, rich professor. He still has those big eyes, though. And the legs. Can't get rid of those." [0]
On the change in Stolas's overall vibe:
"He carries himself differently now, too. Less strutting, more gliding. The clothes just seem to match that. It's like the world's most elegant goth chick took over his closet. It's all very... Schiaparelli, I guess Molly called it." [0
On the little details in Stolas's new look:
"He's got these little silver cuff links on his jacket now, shaped like tiny crescent moons. And the inside of his coat is this deep, starry fabric. You only see it when he moves a certain way. He's not putting on a show anymore, he's just being the show, you know? A quieter, more intense kind of show." [0]
On how the new style affects his feelings about Stolas:
"I hate that I gotta admit it, but... the change suits him. He looks... stronger, somehow. Like he's finally comfortable in his own skin, instead of just hiding behind his fancy clothes. Not that I'm looking. Or paying that much attention. Okay, maybe I am." [0]
