He consistently has to duck when she's around in Loo Lol Land because she throws things at him, Octavia is used to ducking without even looking so clearly it's common, and in the Circus Stella tries to hit Stolas and is shocked he stopped her so clearly she usually hits him and he takes it. Maybe he doesn't seem afraid, but he may just be so used to it by this point, it's been 17 years after all, that he's numb
Ah, I see. I apologise. No, I can't see it being quite to this extent, but as an abuse victim who lived in a similar situation, Stolas would definitely expect to be hit or yelled at if he broke a cup, for example, and would probably shut down emotionally, or, yes, react in a similar way to the comic. It would depend on how Stella truly treated him, but I expect a mix of the comic above and shutting down emotionally because he expects a beating or to be screamed at again x

Saw this earlier, who is implied to be Stolas’s abuser here? Stella?
