Feedback (scroll down only if youāve read it):
ā¢ I love how thereās a backstory of Stella and how she at least tried to connect with Octavia and somewhat was more amicable with Stolas as an acting co-parent even though they donāt really love each other; but would do anything for their daughter
* But in my opinion, even though this was really about Octavia and Stella, it wouldāve been nicer to have that moment with Stolas as well rather just making a small cameo here and there (I mean canonically he did majority of Octaviaās upbringing ā hence why sheās her ādaddyās daughterā ā up since Stella had no desire in comforting her at such a young age after having a nightmare as all kids want the comfort of their parents)
ā¢ I do feel like Stolas is as āditzyā or āobliviousā as he had been portrayed as in this fanfic, then again this could either be take from Stellaās perspective and my biased opinion for the latter
I think, if it came to Octavia, he wouldāve just as sceptical of his daughter and her double life, because letās not forget he is a bookworm which means he would have a lot of intellect (okay, yes, heās not as guarded as letās say Blitz would be) but I would say their on the same page.
However, I will acknowledge that, in my opinion, that Stolas had SOME obliviousness about the belief that Blitz loves him too in episodes 1x1 - 1x06 (til the end of āOzzieāsā)
But again he had come to the conclusion that this wasnāt the case after his failed ādateā with Blitz after they were both humiliated by As(s)modeus and Fizzarolli (mainly)
ā¢ In my opinion, I felt surprised to read that Stolas got angry with Octavia for having a ānormal lifeā and was being a little classist in the making when saying that she ācouldnātā be with someone who was lower of their āclassā considering thatās actually what he had wanted for her canonically when he and Stella were arguing (in 2x01 āThe Circusā)
* However I will acknowledge that this little detail had been covered when Octavia told her father that he was a hypocrite for doing the same thing with Blitz
Then again, in my opinion, I felt it was weird for me in my heart because I know Stolas would never pull a āStella 2.0ā he just not an elitist that way. heās too compassionate to do that.
But other than that, with all my mixed emotions all over the place (in a good way), I can safely say, without shame, that this was the BEST fanfiction Iāve ever read. It was almost like something out of a movie I wouldāve watched
I honestly donāt think there will be anything better in comparison to this. I may be a bit biased here but Iād say that this and āTurf Warsā (one of my own with help of a role playing partner) would be my all time favourites for sure!
Now for some positives:
Great work.
Great characters
Great storyline
Great atmosphere
Great taste in music
Great character goals
Definitely a 10/10 + a review from me and share this to your friends, family and followers! š¤©
(And definitely worth reading again!)
