Stolitz shippers have to be retarded to think there would be stakes in their plot. Most of the season has been about their love story, like no fucking shit they'd be together.
It's really sad how Vivzie is so coward and pathetic as a writer that she can't even milk her yaoi drama without telling the viewers to "please trust the ship, you will love it later!".
In the end, it's on Vivziepop for establishing to her numb-brained audience that Stella's this one-note villain who doesn't have any personality other than being a one-note villain. Again, one-note villains can work in some cases, but they STILL NEED TO HAVE DEPTH AND ACTUALLY BE FLESHED OUT. You can't have someone so close to one of the creator's pet main characters be nothing but a screaming banshee. But what does it matter? They'll just do whatever they can to continue antagonizing Stella and making a grown man with the emotional maturity of a teenager who just discovered what emotions were act like the oppressed victim.
Oh vivzie deserves all the flak she'll get, but tbh, Stella being a one note villain would be fine, but vivzie failed at that too. Stella isnt even one dimensional because that implies a line or gradient, she is a single dot that says "I hate stolas".
But either way i'm gonna rant a bit cause i realize now that
Vivzie doesnt get the problem with Stella.
>We will get into Stella's backstory and she'll become more of a villain eventually.
Vivzie thinks people criticize Stella writing
because she has no tragic backstory yet. She thinks people dislike millie for the same reason. She is too deep into fanfic brainrot to understand that character depth isnt defined how many sad flashbacks you write. How out of touch do you have to be where your priority is giving your "villain" a backstory before developing their dynamics.
IMO Stella doesnt need a backstory, she needs to exist outside of Stolas. All Stella needs is one single scene with her own daughter. Not even a wholesome perfect one. Anything to clarify this mother and daughter know each other exist. That they have a life outside the gay owl.
But instead vivzie will give Stella some kind of sad flashback and make her want to kill Stolas again to "balance it out" because
of course. Note the implication: We will get into Stella's backstory and she'll become more of a villain eventually. Stella can't JUST get a backstory cause that would humanize her and the goal isnt making her human, it's so vivzie can look like a good writer(TM).
It still doesn't make sense to me, though. What if Stolas wasn't attractive to the fandom? What if he was a disgusting looking rich Goetia? It's the only reason people are defending someone who literally doesn't have to do anything else other than use the book once a month. A Goetia that Vivziepop gaslighted into being the oppressed and the literal marginalized the oppressor. Their minds would've absolutely changed if Stolas wasn't this attractive gay owl boye in the fandom and he was your usual grotesque or average looking rich dude.
Maybe it wouldn't change. Maybe people would still wildly defend his actions but maybe at a less higher scale compared to now. Who knows?
This has always been the case and many fandoms have examples, especially harry potter. You'll rarely someone defend or ship peter petigrew who is canonically ugly but every death eater with a handsome actor has dedicated shipper squad, and those without actors get fancasted by tiktokers and twisted into yaoi OCs.
Heck, even within Stolitz, shippers are more prone to take Stolas side as he's the "fragile handsome twink".
