Season 3 prediction: Andrealphus and Stella will try to set Octavia up in an arranged marriage.
And it will either result in her being put in a position where she is powerless/unable to take her place as Stolas’ heir, or she will renounce her position as heir altogether to avoid said marriage.
As we know, Andrealphus’ claim to Stolas’ position is on a time limit. Not only does Stolas get his power and position back in 100 years (a mere blink of an eye to immortals), but Octavia’s impending 18th birthday seems to also be a point of contention. Especially if Andrealphus wants to keep his position of power.
As things stand now, Stella and Andrealphus really have nothing to fear of Octavia coming of age and inheriting her father’s position. After the events of “Sinsmas”, there’s no way she’d kick her mother and uncle out after her confrontation with Stolas. Octavia will want stability more than anything after that, and she’ll cling to Stella and Andrealphus in desperation for even a chance at that stability/normalcy.
Which makes her the perfect target for Andrealphus and his scheming. There’s no way he’s going to hand over his new position of power willingly, especially not after all the work he put into getting it in the first place. So, what better way to get Octavia out of the way than to make her marry into another Goetia family altogether?
Without Stolas there to prevent it, Stella would happily jump at the chance to further their family’s standing by marrying her daughter off.
Not only would this be the perfect way to reveal to Octavia her parents’ arranged marriage, but it’d also give Stella a good excuse to reveal to her daughter (and us) her own backstory/experiences with the Goetia.
Just as promised for season 3.
Something about Sinsmas
It’s this scene right here that’s stuck with me ever since the episode released. Blitz is the happiest he’s been in a while. Not to mention the most open and unguarded. The most relaxed. Which brings me to my sticking point.
Those marks under Blitz’s eyes? They aren’t stress/tension marks. You know, those little marks under the eyes that artists use to highlight the strong emotion in characters in certain scenes. No, those marks under Blitz’s eyes are eye bags.
Blitz is exhausted, and he has been for a good while now (those eye bags have been there in earlier episodes too). And now? With him pushing everything to the back-burner to take care of Stolas and Millie’s possible pregnancy reveal in the future? Season 3 could very easily have Blitz getting better at self care with the help/for the sake of his found family. Or maybe even having him break under the pressure prior to that growth.
Honestly, I’m just excited that there’s something else for me to lookout for in Season 3.
Some examples of high energy scenes with highlights under the eyes (that I couldn’t help but include):
Worries unfounded, Stolas IS stronger than “Mastermind” led me to believe. I am SO freakin relieved right now!
Now I just need Stolas to not backpedal in season 3.
Fears After Mastermind
Stolas is NOT in a good place mentally right now. The guy was already suffering from depression, but now he’s quite literally lost everything to his name. His home. His title and powers. His DAUGHTER.
No matter how positive a note Mastermind seemed to end on, past experience with Ozzie’s is setting Sinsmas up to be truly devastating. Octavia is Stolas’ only hope right now, because until he and Blitz actually manage to talk to each other, there’s always going to be some level of uncertainty and awkwardness between them (no matter how wholesome that bath scene and kiss was).
Unfortunately, any future plans/attempts at getting to Octavia are ultimately going to end with her confronting Stolas. Lashing out at him and accusing him of loving Blitz more than her as we heard in the Season 2 trailer.
This will CRUSH Stolas, absolutely destroy what little hold of himself he has right now. And this leads to my fears…
Stolas is going to lash out. Everything has been taken from him, he’s in an uncomfortable situation and has been rejected by the only hope of normalcy he could have right now, and the closest and easiest target right now is Blitz.
And normally this wouldn’t be a problem, Blitz can generally give as good as he gets. But Stolas is used to the uncaring, pure violence of Stella. And the reactive defensiveness that is Blitz’s usual response to confrontation, but Stolas has absolutely no context of a Blitz after the events of Apology Tour and GhostF*ckers.
Blitz has been put through the wringer this season, and although he’s still putting on a brave face and acting his usual shenanigan causing self even after everything, the damage has definitely been done. As seen in GhostF*ckers, Blitz internalizes everything. Every hurt, every perceived mistake, Blitz is quietly agonizing over it when he thinks no one is looking.
And all it’ll take to absolutely DESTROY Blitz, and backslide any healing and growth he’d managed up to this point, is to be told that he ruined Stolas’ life. The one fear that could very easily shatter Blitz, and I’m absolutely terrified this is the direction Sinsmas and Season 3 are going to take.
Is Andrealphus what Pilot Stolas was supposed to be?
This idea has been nagging at me ever since I saw a theory on here about a future “hellfire” inspired song being about Andrealphus, and its focus possibly being on Blitz. Which, granted, is pretty far fetched where we are currently in the show in regards to their interactions, but then it hit me. What if it was just Andrealphus trying to hurt Stolas even after everything?
What better way to hammer it home just how “worthless” and “unwanted” Stolas truly is when Andrealphus steals away the one thing (or rather person) keeping the once royal from completely falling apart?
Blitz
Season 3 could very well have Andrealphus going after Blitz romantically in an attempt at breaking Stolas, but there’s the snag. Blitz wants absolutely nothing to do with him, and is still very much loyal/devoted to Stolas. And this throws Andrealphus into an obsessive spiral. After all. An imp? Refusing him? For Stolas?
That could be the perfect scenario for a “hellfire” song.
It’s a well known fact by this point that Stolas was originally supposed to be she show’s main antagonist, but this was changed due to him being so popular with the creators and fans. But what if the concept behind that plot line wasn’t scrapped? Just reworked?
After Mastermind, Andrealphus has quite literally taken on Stolas’ role along with his status. Putting him in the perfect position to follow what Pilot Stolas very could have been.
Thoughts?
I recommend you to watch this series. In the series, a group of demons use black magic in hell and come and go to the mortal world. There is a lot of swearing and sexuality in the series, but I think it is a gripping series.
Y’all know what did this scene gave me vibes from?

WELL…..

I’M SORRY I HAD TO.
I use to love hh/hazbin hotel loved huskerdusk slitzo then I broke up with my ex that acted like angel dust and stolas.
(ofc not hate to those people desperately who liked the characters and grew up watching it and slowly trying to enjoy their writing...despite all the stuff- I swear I wish someone would rewrite it<|3)
Crazy how the Helluva-Hazbin fandom collectively decided to hate and unnamed character that asked one character from a popular ship to dance more than a character that’s an “adult fun time” offender
Also I feel like I have to say this given the fandom I’m talking to, this is not an attack on anyone, this is just something I’ve noticed
welcome to the "charlie invites the sins to a party/ball thing so they can meet vaggie" saga aka the chaggie fizzmodeus crossover
fuck zodiac signs, which one of blitz's horse ocs are you?
is this a safe space to admit that Andre looks like a used tampon here??
sinsmas yaps
okay so I was busy all throughout last night and I never saw viv's tweet, so imagine my surprise today when this cinematic masterpiece showed up in my yt notifications!!
overall such a great episode and it leaves me SO. FUCKING. EXCITED for season 3, but more (MUCH more) thoughts below the cut (I tried to make it in order this time ;v;)
first of all, I'm LOVING the domestic Stolitz SO MUCH and soft moments like this is exactly what they need after being in such a hypersexual relationship imho
I didn't even think about how weird eating eggs would be for an owl. Or that stolas eats rats
Stella and Andre are being assholes, what else is new.
It's interesting how they treat Octavia like a child, talking about her as if she weren't in the room with them
The whole scene of them shopping was so cooool
I really like the interesting take on Christmas, also shoutout to blitz flipping the couch over lol
M&M lovingly beating each other up🤌
More goofy moxxie screenshots to add to my collection!!
Stolas has finally fulfilled the prophecy and become IMP's secretary!
Via has such a pretty singing voice, and I love the parallels of her song to "You'll Be Ok" from s1e2
Love how stolas has a fucking mental breakdown in front of the customer
Stolas writing a spicy novel? If we don't get that published into a book it will be such a huge missed oppertunity
Millie being frustrated and wanting to kill the family was especially interesting after getting more background on her after ghostfuckers. After finding out that she's pregnant at the end of the episode, it would make sense if she wanted to kill them because it reminded her of that and she was scared. But it could also connect to her "I'm the muscle and nothing else" insecurity that we saw from ghostfuckers. Even if she's come to peace with that, it's bound to come back on a day all about celebrating your origins.
Laughed my ass off when stolas punched Andre. He def learned that from moxxie and millie
The fight scene was absolute perfection. You can tell the animators said "fuck the budget!"
THE STOLITZ KISS SCENE OMFG
The fact that via saved stolas' life, but still hasn't forgiven him is actually so sad
Yayyy loona has friends to talk to! (I actually didn't think she had any friends other than tex but I'm so happy for her)
Loving all the sinsmas outfits, very bootiful
Millie is fuckin PREGNANT??
That whole scene on the balcony killed me
A little detail I loved was that blitz was actually able to make stolas laugh, even though they are both in such dark places. And I think that's how they are gonna get through it in the end
ill probably post more unpacking this stuff but this is just everything important I noticed. Anyway good job to Viv for another heart wrenching episode!
its finally overrr!!
honestly it sucks ass that this even happened, my prayers go out to Viv and her team. I can't even imagine investing this much time and energy into something all for someone to steal it. but at least it's over now
happy birthday to vivziepop, the visionary who created Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss (2 of my fav shows!)
aaaaand happy 5 year hellaversary!
here's to 5 more years of horny demons ^^
