Honestly Stolas would be a fine character if he were written with self awareness that he's a shitty person.
He reminds me of someone else who doesn't give a shit about their children, treats his wife terribly, has a gay relationship on the side while holding a lot of power. I wonder who that reminds me of....

This is why Moral Orel will always be the goat. Clay Puppington's basically Stolas but not only is well written, but is well aware of his actions, no matter how bad they may get, and still continues them even when he knows of the consequences. Stolas is just Clay Puppington if his only personality was being a deadbeat dad and nothing else.
Also why is asmodeus mocking Stolas in public and singing about "I hope you didnt give it up" and "You sold your life for a trust; That's the spirit of LUST!" when he turned out be someone who says lust is all about CONSENT and TRUE LOVE and is willing to fight for him imp lover? I dont think it's meant to be intentional hypocrisy here, but ozzy and fizz turned too popular so she woobified both.
I will
still never forgive Vivziepop for woobifying Asmodeus and Fizzarolli. Shame on her intensely.
Asmodeus can get away with dating an imp because he's powerful enough that he can afford to not give a shit about optics or just intimidate/beat down anyone that tries mocking him over it. but not powerful enough to stop his imp from being kidnapped by some retarded mafia cosplayers ayy lmao
Stolas, in comparison, is at much higher risk of losing everything because he's just "middle management"; one of Hell's jannies, if you will. Considering how many Goetias there are, he could easily be replaced by faggot bird #4756 and no one would probably even notice or care.
Mind you, this is just me coming up with schizo crackpot theories to make sense of the plot. The much simpler answer is that Vivzie just fucking sucks at writing.
That's what pulls me off about Asmodeus trying to hide he was dating Fizzarolli. Dude, you're a DEADLY SIN. You're the 1%, only SECOND to the Morningstar/Magne family, and you're worrying about a group only SECOND to Hellhounds in the LOWEST caste system of Hell getting on your butt? That wannabe Vito Corleone (Crimson if y'all wondering) was right. But I don't blame Asmodeus. I blame the writers. They retconned his common sense and thought his reign as a Deadly Sin was over if his "little secret" was found out. In the end, on what he could've just said in the very beginning that he could just simply smite anyone who dares try to make a bigger deal out of it.
But going back to Stolas, you're right, man. He is at a much bigger risk since he can get easily replaced by another Goetia, unlike Asmodeus where there's only seven Deadly Sins - and none of them can't be replaced. Though, we should remember that Stolas is the son of Paimon, probably the most powerful figure in the Goetia heir. I doubt he'll get replaced or even kicked out. Maybe reprimanded but will still operate as normal. His wife, however, may be at bigger risk cause she has no other influence other than being Stolas' powerless wife. She's the one who's easily replaceable, not Stolas.
Stolas can get away with cheating as long as it doesn't heavily affect the Goetia identity. Think of it like a corporation. Imagine the Ars Goetia as a corporation. A corporation, especially multi-million dollar ones, are only affected when their profits are at stake. At risk of being lost at an alarming rate. If Stolas caused a lot more whirlwind than just being caught for sleeping with an imp, that's where pressing matters hit in. Stella did far worse in their eyes, unfortunately, as she hired a hitman and practically got away with nearly killing him.
Why am I even bringing that up? The show moved on from the situation in one single episode. It was just filler. The show doesn't address anything regarding the rest of the Goetia's reaction to the whole scenario. We really having to wait over a year and a half for something that should've been teased on the same episode (S2:E4) about the Ars Goetia growing worried of the tirade between Stella and Stolas.
But that requires actual plotting and additional writing fundamentals. So, whatever.
With her avian appearance and disdain for her faggot lolcow husband, I wouldn’t be surprised if Stella became an unofficial KF mascot.
If I was any good at art, I would definitely upload a drawing here of a crowd of literal kiwis praising her as she looks at them with a confused expression.
Oh, I can very much do that for y'all. Haven't drawn anything HB in a while, let alone drawn Stella, so it'll be great practice drawing her confusingly holding the Kiwi pride flag while being surrounding by Kiwis. I'll let y'all know when it's done, hah.
