It's often been said on this blog that Instagram Stolas was extremely kind to everyone, and that he was always doing his best to uplift everyone around him. Let's talk a little about that.
Instagram Stolas was a prime example of a flawed, but well-meaning wealthy character. Although his extremely affable nature was often tinged with a touch of Hellborn classism he couldn't shake -- he had a bad habit of calling imps "little," and sent someone to clean up after the events of July 4th rather than doing it himself -- no one could say he wasn't sincere or that he wasn't trying. He decided very early on that Moxxie and Millie were people he liked, and was filled with boomer fatherly affection for "Miss Loona," calling her dear and suggesting she and Octavia would get along.
He also got along well with Angel, whose "cultural videos" he claimed to be a big fan of (oh, Stolas...), and every now and then the two would exchange pleasantries or advice. Even when it came to Vox and Velvette, neither of whom he liked in the least, he made it a point to tell them they could do better than Valentino.
He had a special soft spot for Moxxie, giving him advice on sunflowers and praising his cooking photos. In at least one post to come, it will be heavily suggested that he idolized the relationship Moxxie and Millie have, and very much wanted the same for himself and Blitzo.
Perhaps most telling of all though is the fact that this is by no means a complete list of examples. There were just that many of these.
"Tease" - Blitzo x Instagram!Stolas (Possession AU: Post-exorcism. Can the good prince Stolas make things right with Blitzo after the evil spirit treated him so cruelly? Can he show Blitzo that his happiness matters to him?) (Note: Good!Stolas has blue eyes, to differentiate him from Evil!Stolas, and because the Stolas from demonology had blue eyes in his human form!) (cw: dubcon implications)
Note: The (spoilers) line was completely unplanned, but Good!Stolas has a way of surprising you!

"Mm… I don't feel like sex today," Blitzo said apologetically and turned away, expecting to be talked into it.
"Blitzo, please. We do not have to. Come here."
Stolas - the real one - opened his arms, all too understanding, and Blitzo turned over and buried his face into his chest fluff. It actually felt soothing. He felt himself relax.
"Please, Blitzo. Whatever you desire, I will do for you. And listen, you are not a slave. You should never feel obligated to have sex and you deserve to be treated with dignity." Stolas' blue eyes shone with honesty.
Sniffing, Blitzo held him tighter, the tears falling into his fluff.
He'd always liked that leather outfit, he thought offhand. After about ten minutes of comfort, Blitzo had changed into his leather crop top and shorts. He was also wearing his thigh-high boots. His eyes sparkled with happiness as he laid down and stretched his arms over his head.
"Mmm, I'd like you to tease and tickle me," Blitzo purred. The outfit exposed his lovely underarms. Stolas grinned, wiggling his feathery fingers at him.
"Oh, I'd like that too," Prince Stolas replied, gently resting his fingers in his armpits and tracing in circles. At first, Blitzo tried to hold his breath, fighting with his pride. But it was soon for naught. He was the most adorably ticklish imp in Hell, and they both knew it.
"Hehehehehehehehehehheehee!" He laughed, curling up into a ball.
Blitzo's giggles and laughter was music to his ears.
"Sounds like a precious little imp has been very naughty."
"EHEHEEHEHEHEEEEE!! STOHOHOHOHOL!!" Blitzo laughed, kicking his legs. Stolas grabbed his right foot.
"Oh no, this will never do. Someone could get hurt."
He carefully slipped off the boot, all while tickling Blitzo's exposed tummy with his other hand.
"Such a cute little stomach, but no one to nibble it."
"NAHAHAHAHAHAAA! DON'T YOU DARE!!"
Slipping off the other boot with his right hand, he held Blitzo's ribs while preparing to nuzzle and tease that stomach.
"COME OHOHOHOHOHON! I'LL DO ANYTHIHIHIHIHIHING!"
Stolas paused with a grin.
"Will you admit you are worthy and cared for?"
"FUHUHUHUHUCK YOHOHOHOHOOUUUU!" Blitzo cried, his cheeks heating up at the sweet words. Stolas continued tickling him, knowing he could last a while. Somehow, Blitzo had always had good breath control.
Laying him on the bed gently, Stolas leaned down, azure eyes flashing with glee, and he started nibbling and blowing raspberries on his navel.
Blitzo's laughter turned to squeals, and he kicked his feet. However, Stolas saw this and grabbed his ankles.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you've all been waiting for!"
Though Stolas parodied an old-timey announcer in a circus, he actually felt pleasant vibes from it. It was healing.
Stolas then proceeded to blow raspberries on the bottoms of his feet, and fluttered his feathers on his heels. This caused Blitzo to shriek and go into silent laughter. Stopping, he pulled away and looked at Blitzo with adoration. Blitzo wrapped his arms around his torso and caught his breath. Gently, Stolas helped massage away the remaining tingles.
"My adorable prince." He said gently. However, Blitzo was taken aback, looking at him funny.
"What the fuck did you just call me?!"
Stolas' eyes glistened and he gasped. He gave him a soft, nervous smile.
"Well, my dear. It's because I see us as equals I suppose. … I am your prince, and you are mine."
Blitzo felt tears come to his eyes and pulled Stolas' feathery form close, unable to hide his feelings anymore. His body wracked with sobs. He wasn't sure at first, but now he was certain. Life with Stolas would be alright. The soft feathers enveloped him and he closed his eyes, letting himself feel happy.
Not sure if this is a fact in the show these days because I dropped it some time ago, but has Stolas ACTUALLY acknowledged Loona at all? Like not only as something in the room but as Blitz daughter and his really most beloved person??
I can tell several scenes where Blitz sees Via as someone important and loved by Stolas, as well as someone he at least cares for slightly or enough to not show or say inapropiated stuff.....but I can't remember if Stolas has done the same, outside of his instagram self who openly showed to remember Loona as his lovers child.
A part of me would love to see her thinking of him as another dad tho....because she seems good at attacking her dad, and she finally would hit someone that deserves it.
Hell, he barely acknowledges her as a person in the room. I don't recall if he's ever called her by name, let alone referred to her as Blitz's daughter. It speaks to Blitzo's character that he included Octavia in his Christmas Hallmark fantasy moment, but if their positions were flipped, I don't think Stolas would have done the same.
(Instagram Stolas, naturally, acknowledged Loona early on.)
It’s very easy to have Stolas react to Blitz liking horses. He could have been like “Oh my Lucifer, that is the cutest thing ever I have to do something that involves this interest like suggest a horse movie” or something and that would have been nice.
God, I miss Instagram Stolas so much. He happily agreed to a no-sex movie night where they watched Spirit, sent Blitz a Spirit hoodie not long after, and you could just see Blitz starting to fall for him a little as he noted the hoodie smelled like Stolas.
Viv wanted so much to capture what those two had, but it's like she genuinely doesn't understand how a human being sincerely goes about caring for another human being.
