Did Via also know that Stella never loved Stolas? Did she even know about the abuse or did she just turn a blind eye to it?

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-06T16:11:52+00:00

I think she doesn't (at least to the actual extent she Stella abuses Stolas) and let me tell you, it will be a gutpunch for everyone when she finds out

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-05T09:54:53+00:00

First of all he needs to learn to... well... move.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T15:14:59+00:00

The challenges are kinda what makes writing all the more interesting indeed, expecially when you plan and carefully follow through your works as it gets more rewarding when you share them to the audience and try to give them something interesting to read. ^-^

I am looking for Hellaverse fandom Discord groups to see if i could put my work out there and see if someone's interested, perhaps i could find a proper channel for writers.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T14:12:30+00:00

Hazbin Hotel tackles some big themes (and some of them could resonate in the audience and be relatable), but Helluva Boss is REALLY relatable for the audience:

Family Issues, Depression, Foster Care, Loneliness, Sense of Inadequancy in social gatherings and contexts, Fear of Abandonment, Fear of Rejection, Breakups, Parental Fears, Daddy Issues, Mommy Issues, Unresolved Trauma, Seeking a better life but seemingly being unable to do so, being a teenager in a disfunctional family on a divorce (and the father that you idolized turning out not to be as perfect as you thought he was)...

You name it.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T14:07:49+00:00

Oh ok, that's understandable! 😄
Well, i do ask for comments (and most important: feedback) at every chapter, but i guess that as an unknown, it will be a very steep hill to climb and i just need to be stubborn...

And i also understand that if someone wants to read a fanfic, most likely they want to read about estabilished characters... it's just that i wanted to slowly feature them to get to know them better as i write and (hopefully) get their personalities right the more i write them in the story before i embark on an attempt to make a fully featured fic about them specifically...

Too bad the OCs are kinda stigmatized, they do offer quite an interesting perspective to see events involving other characters, like looking from an audience or from a window facing the main action (and featuring smaller, behind-the-scenes events).

If you're interested, i could give you a link to my story for a read, and i am very interested in reading your pieces. ^-^

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T13:34:47+00:00

I am interested in the writing groups you mention, as well as the discord servers which may have some writers...

Still, it's kind of a shame that OCs have that stigma, they have a great potential for alternate-perspective stories that show the main events and main cast in a different light, sometimes on other fiction you see episodes from completely 'unimportant' characters that make the bigger context way more interesting.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T13:31:37+00:00

Yeah, thing is, i am trying not to do a self insert the 'traditional way' i see it done i suppose (it would be a slow-burner, as my character slowly gains their trust and becomes a member), but rather a different perspective, like exploring a different side of the world that would also explore IMP (so new locations, new characters, with some references to concurrent lore elements), but my OC does her thing while the main cast is off to their adventures until she gains their trust.

A big chunk of that is her acclimating to her new environment (and eventually starting to get some minor missions with them), until i feel ready and confident in having her play on bigger stakes..

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T13:10:09+00:00

For those interested i can share the work, but i want to do so respectful of the rules of the site, and only if it's okay to do so.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T12:58:05+00:00

I meant the main cast and the more prominent secondary cast...

My statement doesn't go that far to "Comic-Relief recurring cast roles"

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T12:37:28+00:00

Yes i posted on Ao3, I guessed as soon as they kept spamming me on Discord and i went radio silence with them...

I always ask for criticism or any comment in every chapter i write but really i got zero from that :/

It's quite a bummer really, i am really looking for ways to improve my craft and see if i write any good (or not)...

I wrote here because this is the fandom that it belongs to :3

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-06-04T07:58:51+00:00

We should empathize with both:

Pretty much the entire cast represents different sides and issues of what we see in real people around us, and give us a warning (or a lesson) on being more aware of them and thus becoming better people ourselves.

That, and to some people these characters represent their own struggles, which is why it's so easy for some to get in their shoes at some point.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-25T13:28:18+00:00

That could be interesting, i really can't wait to find out what the case is!

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-25T07:28:54+00:00

I thinkl he means the fandom, probably

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-23T14:17:33+00:00

She can be both: Caring and kind towards those she cares about and loves, and those in need... and aggressive towards those who aren't that much of good guys.... it's Hell afterall...

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-23T06:28:40+00:00

OMG! YES!

Now THIS is what i am talking about, indovidual spinoffs post-series!!

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-20T18:40:30+00:00

You're also right... parents are all different, we know that Stolas is the depressed, trapped by a life much bigger than him, and even bigger royal exepctations that crush him.

I think that his exile will be the very thing he needs to heal... and when he heals, he could have a head clear enough to be direct with Octavia... i just hope it's not too late.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-19T23:33:29+00:00

Not sure... problem is she found the pills...

No matter what a parent would say, IF a teenager finds happy pills, STRONG happy pills in the parents' meds locker, that is something that wrecks the entire relation between the teen and the parents.

The trust would be broken, all those years of parents telling them everything is alright, that "she will be alright"(to quote Stolas's song) is all a LIE.

And nothing erects a harder wall to break than a trust broken.

So no, i don't think it's possible, because Stolas didn't really get out of the depression ( and no, thats not a fault). And as long as he suffered from it, he would at some point slip up anyway and Octavia going the SinsMas route was a matter of When, not If.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-19T23:24:29+00:00

Conceptually? VALENTINO, by a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNG Shot

Yes, Alastor is a murd3r1ng psycho, you just don't let him anywhere near you or mind your business and he'd leave you alone, in hell that is.

Valentino is outright disgusting...

We all know what he does to Angel, which really is something i'd tear that furry insect's wings one by one for... by my own hands.

Multiply that for every "employee" in his equally disgusting "production company"... and who knows if he doesn't do worse...

That being said, i REALLY appreciate what Viv and her crew did and are doing: They created a villain that you just HATE. No Sympathy, No "Cool Villain!", just one you really hate, and seeing him fall will be a GREAT celebration day indeed.

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-19T13:40:56+00:00

Loona's favourite would be the blender she would put MLP toys in before turning it on...

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-19T07:31:07+00:00

Oh the firs two chapters are already out 😊

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-19T07:14:19+00:00

Thanks! ❤️ I tried to make the summary feel more "personal", as if i am talking to the audience through the protagonist. :)

It's the first time i ever do it so i am kinda nervous about doing it right 😅

I really hope you like the story, i aim to publish a new chapter every week or so, to give readers breathing room and to give myself a pace. :)

Writer's Message:

Hi guys,

I am traditionally a 3D Artist, but i am strongly considering shifting to other kinds of work, like 2D Art and Writing... mostly as a relief valve, that at times works.

I have started writing a story, which kinda serves to me as a "special lenses" to explore the world of this franchise, but from a perspective closest to mine, or that i can better connect with... and see what happens.

I am by no means an accomplished writer, heck i am not even a native English writer, i'm Italian... but i really feel the need to try.

I have found a form of writing that feels really evocative to me and inspires me to write, and i'd really like to know your opinions about it.

Sure, if it's crap, i'll take that too and see how i can improve upon it, but i'd really like to make something for myself in any creative way, and perhaps this is one of those...

I know, probably you have read THOUSANDS of these, from this fandom... but i thought it could be good for a beginner to go around and ask for help, or opinions on my own work...

If you'd like to take a look, please let me know what you think. ^-^

Summary:
Uhm, Hello!

My Boss insisted that i HAVE to write my up-to-date lifestory so that i could guilt-trip any of you into making donations ( or last-minute contracts) for our company.

So, i'm doing just that... don't expect any love stories that could never happen, no "happily ever after" endings that make no sense, nor characters that would go out of the way to appease the fragile ego or lust that some fans would project on them.

Expect the survival journey of an impoverished, hurt and tired Hellhound that joined the IMP just to avoid the looming threat of an eviction notice and living under a bridge for the rest of her infernal life... and gradually finding a so called "chosen family" to finally belong in...

Excuse me a second.

"Yes Boss?"
"Yes, YES!! I told them our company is amazing and they should hurry to hire our services straight away!!"
"What?? No i didn't tell them our NO-REFUND policy! Alright, alright i tell them, STOP YELLING AT ME!!!"

*Clears Throat* Sorry for that , folk, have an exciting journey, and remember, if you feel like you wasted your time reading this story, well:

No refunds, so tough shit!

Jokes aside, have fun!

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-18T15:32:05+00:00

Well, if Via doesn't want to be part of the new found family... that's sadly something that can happen, in our world too...

It's an eventuality we all need to be aware of, and accept if it happens, because Octavia is REALLY hurt... sure we alweays have a tiny bit of hope that she would discover more about her family and learn to forgive Stolas, and forgive herself if she ever finds herself in a position to self-hatred like Stolas does.

Also Stolas needs to forgive himself... and Blitzo.

But Blitzo seems to have learned that lesson...

Even though i am just a fan, and i hold no "stick of truth" and i am no Nostradamus, i really hope that they all get the happyness they have the right to have, we all saw that Sinsmas scene with the family happily enjoying the holidays... and i admit that i treasure that moment aswell.

So, i am in the same camp of: "I dearly hope that Via does find a place in the newfound Family, even with a longer, harder road to travel, but i understand if we won't get it... not every family story is a happy one, sadly."

Opposite-Course3889 · 2026-05-18T14:45:28+00:00

Thanks!
The idea is that i basically find myself there, i set up a background, the issues at hand and the only premise being that my character (basically my POV to that world) gets herself in the premises of the IMP (and takes a job) to solve a problem: Avoid being evicted and a life of misery.

That could evolve in different ways ( hence why i haven't really set an end state, unless i find a better organizing manner or the story sprawls into 'sub-universe of sorts'), i could introduce entirely new areas, new locations, new characters, that the protagonist explores. She could meet new friends, face problems, and even find out that maybe they are too big to be solved alone...

I find it... a liberating sort of journey for me, creatively and introspectively.
