#Alastor is fun to think about

[omegabenaeart]

Just exploring his design a bit more

My indecisive ass is probably gonna change it again soon 👉👈

And some story concepts, gonna do some actual writing along with the redesigns

Gonna go on some rambles below the cut, feel free to ignore 😎👍

Alastor's Territory

All Overlords own some kind of territory. Rosie has Cannibal Town, Vox has his TV company, so on and so forth.

Alastor's territory is people. He owns souls, obviously, all Overlords own souls as part of their territory. But then there are the people who owe him favors, or the people he considers useful, or the people he considers friends. All these people he's sort of collected over the years.

But it also means he isn't tied to one particular area of Hell. His people go everywhere, doing his bidding. Other Overlords may be more powerful or more well known, but Alastor has further reach.

Alastor As an Overlord in Hell

Much like in the show, Alastor runs a radio broadcast. Some days, it's a normal radio show, playing music and giving commentary on current events in Hell (Vox hates this for obvious reasons). And on other days, he's playing the screams of his latest victims, reminding sinners why he's not someone to be played with

But it's not enough for him to just have a radio show, his connection to radios goes further than that. It's like how Vox has a connection to all TVs in Hell, able to see through and transport himself through the various screens.

Alastor can hear through all radios in Hell. He eavesdrops on conversations, collecting information and blackmail on various sinners around Hell, in hopes of expanding his territory. Of course, he keeps this ability tightly under wraps; if everyone knew he could be listening, no one would own a radio ever again!

Alastor With Women

Alastor is still some flavor of asexual. For the most part, he doesn't have interest in that sort of stuff. But if he were to ever want sex, it would most likely be with a woman.

Alastor is very friendly with women. This is based on canon, where he has more positive relationships with women than he does with men. Some would interpret this as him just being a ladies man, but it's a bit more complicated than that.

For backstory related reasons, Alastor just has a general distrust of men (which is ironic because he is a man himself). And it certainly isn't helped when you realize he used to hang out at speakeasies when he was alive. He has plenty of experience with violent, drunken men, he knows what those bastards are capable of when they pound back enough liquor.

So with women, it starts off as him just being very protective over them. They are the "fairer sex" after all, how are they to defend themselves when a man is being violent towards them? But as he spends time with more and more women, he comes to respect them more and more for their capabilities.

Some women don't need his protection, as they are fully capable of protecting themselves. If something goes down, Alastor will hang back for a moment, assessing the situation as it unfolds, and then step in if it's getting out of hand. Less White Knight-ing basically. Oftentimes, he doesn't even have to involve himself, but when he does? It's not pretty.

So what of the men he's regularly seen with? Any man within his inner circle, like Husk, is held at a metaphorical arms length (metaphorical because in reality, he doesn't really respect other people's personal bubbles. He's a very touchy person). These men are only part of the inner circle because they work for Alastor; either he owns their soul, or they owe him a favor. If a man doesn't have one of those things, then Alastor has no reason to keep them around and will not waste time with them.

Angel Dust falls in a sort of gray area here. He doesn't owe Alastor anything, so Alastor shouldn't be wasting his time with that one... However, he's part of Charlie's hotel, which is the only piece of physical property that Alastor has claimed as part of his territory. So dealing with Angel Dust is technically hotel business. Same with Sir Pentious.

Took a look at Charlie's nicknames given by Alastor and went insane, as one does

Hi, good evening! (Or at least here where I am it's evening, I don't know what time you'll read this. 😿)

I wanted to ask you, what do you think Alastor and Mimzy would have been like if they hadn't died? Like decades later.

Would Alastor continue his job as a radio announcer? I wonder if the technological innovation at the time would have affected their lives.

Do you think Mimzy would continue her petty thefts and crimes? Or if she would look for a new life.

Anyway, sorry for the many questions. They were just questions that popped into my head out of nowhere. 🕊️

I love your art, it's really cool that someone is delving into the history of both of them.

Don't overwhelm yourself!

Hi! :3 No redemption arc for them, that's for sure. They are the same bastards but older.

I think Alastor would continue his radio career. After all, we saw in the show that he's veeeery passionate about that. With all his charisma, I'm certain that he got that popularity and status to be recognizable on the streets (as much as he could anyway). Still, to me, it seems that he would be just as skeptical of other new types of media so dedicated to his niche.

Oh, Mimzy absolutely would! That's her thing, after all. Why stop all of a sudden? It's funny to me to think that she might have charmed some naive rich guy into eventually becoming his wife, and then that naive rich guy died under ✨mysterious circumstances✨, and all his goodies went to Mimzy. She will definitely cry at certain moments and say how much she misses her sweet husband and how unfair life is. To be in that Grieving Widow of a Rich Guy role for a while, just for her entertainment mostly.

Cookin' up some Overlord shenanigans :3

[sunlit-mess]

That person who'd asked if Alastor was your favorite or Lucifer, did you answer the question? Like I'm stupid- If you did then I haven't figured it out yet- Could you say it in words please 🥺 Alastor Or Lucifer

:3 Favorite of both... But in these sense:

- Down bad for Alastor. I'd eat him cannibalistically.

- Relates to Lucifer 100%

Merchandise and whatever physical collectables/stuff speaking... I'm in an Alastor simp competition and my competitor is Vox.

*sigh* I feel a lil obligated to share this vid considering past ramblings. And I understand shippers of any aroace characters are VERY tired of the conversation, I get that and you should be free to have fun with the characters as you see fit. But there is a conversation I think both sides just never wanna get into. And I highly recommend EVERYONE, EVEN PEOPLE WHO ENJOY SHIPPING AND IDENTIFY AS ARO/ACE, to give this vid a watch. Like damn, the shit about Gwenpool was SO disheartening to hear.

It's never been the shipping itself that's the issue, it's the pushback against the aroace identity.

Just as a reminder, I (nor the video) are against shipping or spectrums and all that. There is just immense invisibility on the core parts of the aroace identity when it comes to popular characters, and (to me) the spectrum comment typically doesn't sound genuine but more of a hopeful defense that a character isn't aroace (from what I've seen). It always reads more like they're grasping as to have their favorite ship become valid or possible within the media the character is in. That's obviously not the case for EVERYONE and genuine-ness is difficult to read in text form, but that just happens to be how it typically seems to me when people make the spectrum case. And I think if having something like shipweeks is important, something like aroace weeks should be celebrated too! And they definitely exist! They're just severely ignored when compared to something like ship weeks.

The overabundance of shipping aroace characters can kinda feel like if, say, the most popular ships/ships that are everywhere in a fandom involve a gay character in straight relationships. By itself it is genuinely harmless. But there is a sort of underlying tone of being against that character being gay, even if not intentional. Everyone should be allowed to have their fun shipping characters however they like, no matter their orientation because they're not real. But there's an undeniable trend that if a character is popular, Their aroace identity will be challenged, ignored, or pushed back. Which doesn't really feel great (personally, not everyone is me and I don't speak for all).

Might I reiterate from my previous post on the subject:

The aro community is allowed the scraps but not the dinner.

[radioapple-heathen]

Me, watching Alastor and Lucifer meet for the first time on HH: "ah, yes, I violently ship them now."

[seagull-scribbles]

Regrets or resentment?…..

Alastor Theory

Okay, I'm gonna throw my hat into the ring when it come to who has Alastor on a leash and I'm not gonna say Lilith.

I think Eve might also be an option for being the one that owns Alastor's soul.

I think the Lilith connection is a bit too obvious and Lilith hates being forced into subservience canonically within the show, so it would be weird if she chained another soul to do her bidding. And Eve is easily the character that would have the most issues with the Morningstar family, heaven, and hell. She was made out of Adam's rib and given the apple by Lilith and Lucifer. She's been a pawn in other people's plans since the beginning. She's the one blamed for original sin and it's clear she's not in heaven. She was the scapegoat while Adam got off relatively Scott free.

She has so many reasons to want to get back at everyone and what better way to gradually gain a foothold without drawing attention to herself than enlisting the services of a sinner in hell?

It’s said that Alastor immediately started taking out overlords that had been dominant for centuries the moment he stepped foot in hell. There has to be a reason for that. It feels too calculated to be a coincidence.

Plus Lilith’s disappearance coinciding with the Alastor's isn’t necessarily a factor against this theory because it can be explained as Eve essentially throwing Alastor into a battle with Lilith where Alastor was injured and had to take time to recover.

His reaction when Zestial said people thought he had been struck down by holy arms was a bit telling to me. The way he took that moment to look away and collect himself to brush it off read as Zestial hitting too close to the mark.

He's super touchy about why he was gone for 7 years and we've seen that Alastor's berserk button is his pride and he dislikes his strength being questioned. He absolutely would not want to admit he was gone because he was recovering.

That comment seemed too pointed by the writers to be completely written off.

Maybe in this battle Eve got Lilith's soul. If she doesn’t why would Lilith be gone from Charlie’s life for seven years? Why wouldn't she return around the same time as Alastor? She seemed to really care about Charlie. Charlie still tries to call her and she doesn’t seem to hold any resentment toward Lilith, so I think there would have to be a reason beyond nebulous plans that's keeping her away.

Alastor also clearly does not have a good relationship to whoever has his soul, so I kind of imagine if it was Lilith he would be a bit more hostile towards Charlie or it would show a bit more in the moments where he was alone or when Charlie isn't looking. (Alastor is the only character this show is truly subtle with)

I just wanted to put my opinion out there because I've seen so many Lilith owns Alastor's soul theories out there and I wanted to offer a different angle.

I love when radioapple is toxic

I mean that's a serial killer and the literal devil from the Bible. They are NOT sane they are so far from sane that insane doesn't even begin to describe them anymore. I just want them to be crazy and even crazier in love.

I want their love to hurt them and everyone around them but they just can't live without each other. I want them to be obsessed with each other.

I want their love to be the thing that kills them

Hello radioapple fandom, may i give you a brain worm:

Time travel

Pls go ham

[lunagames]

I'm of the opinion that Zestial and Carmilla had and have wildly different opinions on Alastor, though Zestial's opinion probably didn't shift all too much overtime.

Now Carmilla is just a bit annoyed at the drama queen that is Alastor, but I do believe that she was concerned at the beginning of his appearance. Like dude just took out half her meeting room of overlords in a matter of weeks, that ain't fitting into her statistics. She likes control, she likes knowing what will happen and planning for it.

So, she probably met with Zestial to discuss this in a 'is this a normal problem or something we need to do something about'-way only to be met with a 'funniest thing to have happened in three centuries' banner.

Hazbin hotel redesigns from back when the first season came out. Can you tell I liked desaturating colors

(Husk's wings in read more)

[celtrist]

I don't know if this is a "hot take" and by no means am I trying to be rude, but It's funny since, considering the designs I've seen, most to every radioapple fan child looks like they could be a radiobelle fan child and vice-versa.

Makes sense as Charlie is Lucifer’s daughter and takes... EVERYTHING after him. But you see, it's all in the nose. But no one wants to be giving noseless children, so Radiobelle is the only one of the two that's able to have a differentiation from Radioapple kids with the puppy nose lol

[journal-three]

I was watching a youtuber talk about vox and al and they said something about how vox was right with saying al was outdated just being radio

But honestly... I feel like 1: radio never left

2: podcasts are crazy popular that people yeah watch but mainly just listen to, no it's not mainly radio but its similar and I feel like honestly I want an alastor weekly podcast thank you for coming to my tedtalk

I MEAN if we REALLY get into it, isn't TV just as dead as radio?

Okay sure tv shows and whatever are still popular, but it's all streaming now, it's all on-demand. The same way that new radio is podcasts, new tv is streaming. this is just two outdated modals of media beefin it up for no reason. (TL;DR Velvette supremacy)

Really I'd agree with you. Radio just changed forms the same way TV did and they're both equally but differently strong forms of media. :)

....

..

.

ALTHOUGH.

IF WE REALLY GET INTO IT:

Analog TV, the kind of old TV that used antenna (like vox has) and analog signals were fully retired in 2009.

That kind of media is quite literally dead. But y'know what kind of broadcast signal isn't dead? What specific kind of audio broadcast signal is still being used to this day? >:3
