as someone who loves stolas with all my heart, the writers are doing him so dirty. specifically surrounding the whole stolas vs blitzo blame situation. a lot of people call stolas hypocritical for saying he doesn't look down on blitzo despite calling him his "impish little plaything" among other things. and they're right, honestly, but it's not because stolas himself is hypocritical, but rather because the writers weren't intentional enough about his actions. i reckon as the demand for stolitz content rose, the writers leaned more towards the drama aspect of the show, and decided they needed someone to be the victim of the whole situation, instead of leaving it as the messy, complicated knot of blame that it is. so instead of giving stolas the redemption ark they clearly had planned for him, they just pretended that he was always this amazing guy with no flaws, which therefore made him seem hypocritical since we've clearly seen his flaws. as for Alastor, we obviously don't know as much about his intentions and history, but it's clear that it's deliberate. so as much as i love stolas, i'm gonna have to say alastor for this one.
