the thing with octavia is that she is lonely, has pretty much no friends and, up until recently, only really connected with her dad
her mother is apathetic to her, probably only caring as much as she needs to for societal reasons, seeing her as her ”duty”, but not really her daughter
stolas, on the other hand, does genuinely love her, but he is a shortsighted, impulsive and extremely selfish man. He was willing to die for his lover without a second thought for octavia, not because he wanted to save blitzo, but because he couldnt bare the thought of having to live without him
octavia needs to realize these things and either accept her dad for how he is or just cut him out of her life completely
if she were more emotionally mature she would have probably packed her bags and ran off to the human world as soon as her flamboyant uncle moved in
she definitely needs some more people in her life, not necessarily a lover, but some good friends would help
