There was some confusion with one of my friends on my Stolas take, so I shall clarify with the following. So, here's my take: Stolas seems to have originally been set out as a horny bratty upper class noble. Stolas was changed to sad, gay bird. The transition was not very smooth. Yes, anyone would be sad when their life is falling apart (S1E7). But my issue, something I should've said in the video, is probably more that they have plans for their characters. They act on those plans. And they don't really transition much to those plans. A lot of possible points and defenses are things done post-switch, to make up for and excuse the shift in character. While the possible defenses aided the behavioral shift to a degree, the shift itself was ultimately still quite a sloppy one. And this is what I have my largest issues with.
