Stella's Childhood Even WORSE Than Stolas? The Tragedy of the Ars Goetia!

Check out the original interview with Vivizepop here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9iWd0SWzGo

70%+ abusers have been abused. It’s logical for Stella to have a bad backstory, it’s realistic.

I think this can be really interesting, I like the idea that Stella can be a victim of the Ars Goetia in a different way than Stolas without making her too sympathetic and thus excusing her actions and behaviour.

I think an important thing to remember is that Stella is also a victim too, despite being a horrible a** to Stolas. She was also forced into a marriage with a person she didn't love, and I can completely understand why she would be angry over that, although that obviously does not justify her behavior towards Stolas.

I feel Stella wanted someone stronger who could trade jabs with her rather than someone more submissive like Stolas.

Tragedy isn’t an excuse to harm others close to you. But I am intrigued that we will learn more about her.

My theory is that Andrealphus is the heir the parents wanted/favored while Stella is the spare they’re willing to spoil until they sell her off. Speaking of Andrealphus, I also have a theory that Vassago is one of the very few individuals who is immune to his persuasive powers, and strangely enough one of the few people who he actually listens too (and secretly has a thing for as the book cover in the last episode is hinting at).

I’m really excited to see if Stella was always a dang goblin child or just started that at a young age

I love it when vilans have an actual reason to be bad. It would be nice to have that for Stella!

It would be interesting if they spin it as Stella, a child already predisposed to anger and bouts of rage, being forced into an arranged marriage for social reasons and being given no outlet for that rage. So this scandal destroying the sense of perfection she’s pretended for so long would be the perfect reason to give her an avenue for X years of pent up anger

I figured something was up with her when I saw how her brother interacted with her when they were talking with Stolas, her brother talks down to her and she says nothing, she would never let Stolas get away with that. In addition when they're talking to Stolas it feels like he's the dominant one during that conversation. It also distinctly felt like he was treating her like she was a child and a burden during that.

I'm kind of curious about whether Stella even understands the plan. She seems like the kind of person who is only putting trust in her brother just because she knows he's smarter than her. But also what happens if we find out she does care about Octavia in that narcissistic "You are a reflection of me" sort of way and is actually really territorial about her? We did get that "turning her against me" line in an earlier episode.

I think what might happen is that Andrealphus will indeed try and kill Octavia, and when Stella will realize that this is his plan, she will also realize that, even though she doesn't care much about Octavia, she cares enough about her to not want her dead, and she will try to protect Octavia from him, and this will make her evolve and change, even if just a tiny bit. After all, we don't know what happens when Octavia is living with Stella alone on weekends. They probably ignore each other, but maybe that without Stolas there, Stella actually had to acknowledge Octavia instead of making Stolas do everything all the time, and she might have a newfound affection for her daughter now that she actually interacted with her.

Stella not having a role in goetia royalty except making babies makes me believe the goetia don't see women as worthy enough to have such power, seeing how the other goetia royalty all seem to be males, beezlebub might be in the goetia family too but she's a sin so she might get a pass into the goetia

I am SO unbelievably excited to learn more about Stella because as a character I actually genuinely like her I mean as a “person” I hate her how she’s so cruel and entitled but as a character of being purposefully hateable I like her (and she’s hot for a humanoid bird demon)

“-Honestly, looking at Stella at this light makes her And Strikers Dynamic more fitting. Because all their talk about being Above/Better than what they claim to be- in the end of the day their both just characters being used by the exact same forces that they both despise.

10:43 what if it was Striker, that would explain how they knew each other and why he hates Goetia for "taking everything from him" yet still worked for Stella

Hopefully Stella can have some emotional depth later on in the show

5:16 "Bottom of the Totem Pole" Well yeah, Ozzie and Satan are pretty big figures. This is your reminder that totem poles are bottom to top in level of importance, as the bottom holds the others up.

Oh my god, Mastermind is a Stella/Andrealphus episode.
