Amid all the powerscaling talk, idk if we've ever discussed how genuinely impressive it is that Alastor was able to project a full singing voice for a solo minutes after having his thoracic cavity cracked open by a battle-axe. Homeboy's lungs were out like Val's nips and he still hit those notes.
like you would definitely not tell a woman that the nuclear Holocaust was her fault because she should have known the man she was fighting with would get upset.
of course we may have a completely different read on things because I think (a) all he really did was reject the guy harshly 70+ years ago (b) whatever manipulative plan he had went off course when niffty was in danger, & (c) there was some pretty blatant SA that I don't think he expected.
expecting to get blocked for saying this but think it needs to be said: there are some victim-blaming elements here that might be more apparent if you gender swap Alastor :/ +
I checked and you are so right

yeeaaaah I feel like we're gonna see that again 😐
oh hey I just realized this indicates suicidal ideation - you good?
This is who runs this account
Brainwash #radiostatic #hazbinhotel
Lucifer with rubber duck from Hazbin Hotel, looking surprised
Alastor from Hazbin Hotel with a roofie smoke heart next to his head, looking alarmed
"I heard people are shipping us!" "To where?!"
your gay drama is not my business, i have something to do away.
dreamed I got an email from my program director saying that my supervisor (who I was in love with) found my writing "lesbian," so we could only meet in person
me three months ago: someone blocked me and wouldn't let me explain what I meant, i'm going to spiral for the rest of the day
me now: being hangry or annoying on main once every couple of weeks culls the disloyal
tfw you're a feral cat who just wanted dominion over this white lady's yard, but she stuffed you in a pink sweater and took you to the vet
Niffty: yay pain!
Happy 100th Black History Month from me, your local Black fanartist
Read books!! 📚 PLEASE (maybe not the same ones as this guy)
no no. he's onto something
Lucifer almost touches Charlie's arm but pulls back. Hazbin Hotel S02E05
rejection he seemed to expect here
Charlie is so busy fighting with Carmilla she doesn't notice Vaggi needs help
Charlie: ok I may have fucked up here Hazbin Hotel S02E06
much more interesting shoulder touches
So Vox's business proposal parallels a romantic rejection - but it occurs to me that asking to start an EMPIRE together is the professional equivalent of Vox wanting to not just marry but coparent a child. A WAY bigger commitment that would make it hard for Alastor to detach if he ever wanted to. +
i'm gonna miss hazbin wednesdays so much :( // #hazbinhotelseason2 #AlastorHazbinHotel #VelvetteHazbinHotel
if it makes you feel better I wrote an "alastor was roofied" thread right after ep. 4 lol, had no idea that would be controversial
Contrast that with Vox shoving Velvette's head down and pretending to embrace Charlie after humiliating her in public. Alastor is definitely sketchy as fuck, but I don't think hypocrite applies in this case. I could talk about the gender dynamics here all day. Lmk if you disagree!
He was switching from Dad Mode to Bestie Mode to pretend to be offering an equitable agreement. But when that doesn't work, we get a handshake, a facial touch in front of her partner, and then an escort in public.
*He's* manipulative but his touch is friendly. (Until it's murder.) +
I don't argue about this when it comes up to be a dick or an Alastor apologist; although I can be both, nonverbal consent is an important topic for me. So:
The scene in Charlie's bedroom is a good example of backing off and giving physical distance when someone pulls away. +
when we call older men creepy, it does usually have a sexual connotation. although mimsy called him creepy and no one cared 🤷♀️
misreading like that may have also caused him to reject vox harshly :c Vox tried to scratch his belly and Alastor gave him 8 stitches. I felt really bad for him. however ☝️
especially in the dark hours we need to remember that we are going to win
it's a serious problem. a family therapist I follow on YouTube tried to find a media representation of a healthy couple and came up with like. three.
