Get GLITCHED

(And you guys asked for Vassago)

[am-i-interrupting]

Hello! couldI ask for a headcanon on Rosies, Alastors, Husk, Lucifers, Vaggies, Lutes, Vox's, and velvettes(all separate) reactions to Getting in an argument with the reader(whom they're in a relationship with)

Reader leaves to clear their head for a bit but doesn't return.

About a week later, they find they the reader, bleeding in an alley.

big fan of your work btw, sorry if my request was to complex but thank you for at least reading it.

have a lovely day!

Alastor

Alastor knows he can be an infuriating person to argue with.

He will just continue to smile and speak in a steady tone, as if he’s unaffected even if that’s anything but true.

You don’t get into fights often but when you do, it’s not unusual for you to leave to clear your head.

Normally you’re back the next day. By day two he was concerned. Day three he was worried.

He sent his shadows out to find you.

As soon as one of them saw someone who even resembled you in the slightest, he appeared there even if you weren’t.

When he found you wounded, he was furious.

Not at you, but the person who dared touch you.

His anger nearly consumed him but he pushed it to the side in order to tend to your wounds.

You appeared in his radio tower where he quickly patched you up.

His touches were quick, a bit painful, and precise.

But he got you patched quickly and efficiently.

The argument you had was quickly put aside in favor of the more pressing matter, finding his next guest for his show.

Husk

He’s a pretty reasonable guy most of the time. It takes something pretty big in order for either of you to yell much less storm out.

When Husk woke up with a hangover and you no where to be seen, he cursed himself as he remembered what he’d tried to forget.

He sent you a message, just asking if you were okay.

He followed it up the next day by calling and leaving you a voicemail. He explained that you could take as much time as you needed but please, just let him know you’re okay.

It was Charlie who found you, the princess far more willing to take action than he was. Too afraid of pushing your boundaries himself even if he was worried.

He immediately went into assistant mode as Niffty went into mini-nurse mode.

When you were stable, he took you up to your room and tucked you in bed.

“Don’t worry ‘bout the argument, baby. We can talk about it later.”

He kissed your forehead and laid beside you in bed, hand on your pulse.

Lucifer

He’s not a fighter. He’s an avoider.

He’s not even really conscious of the fact that he does it. He just isolates.

That’s probably what caused the disagreement in the first place.

When he found you, immediately in panic mode.

Just wants to make sure you’re okay.

Being the first Angel cast out of heaven, he knew how to tend to wounds and quickly attended to yours.

Stroking your hair the entire time, just begging you don’t leave him.

Lute

Lute can be stubbornly loyal and it was probably something to do with work or Adam that caused the fight.

Whatever, go ahead. Leave. It’s not like she cares.

She lies to herself so well she believes it until she finds you bleeding.

Which, what the fuck? You weren’t in Hell. These things didn’t happen.

She doesn’t know how to take care of wounds. She doesn’t know what she’s doing. She’s never seen someone bleed.

She takes you to Emily. Reluctantly.

Emily doesn’t really know what she’s doing but she quickly gets in contact with people who do, being so well contacted to the winners.

She is by your side, fight entirely forgotten, the entire time.

Will actually punch Adam if he says something about her going soft.

Rosie

Rosie is a problem solver.

That’s what she does.

She actually takes off work to try to figure out how to solve your problems and brain storm.

It’s only when she’s figured out several solutions she thinks will work that she tries to find you.

When she does, oh is she absolutely pissed.

But first, she’s stitching you up.

Very gentle but very honest.

A lot of “this’ll hurt” might give you something to bite on.

Will go out and find the poor soul who did this to you and serve their bloody heart on a silver platter to you.

Vaggie

She immediately goes into work mode.

She just overworks herself. She doesn’t know what to so she just tries to be useful.

When she finds you she feels her stomach turn and heart drop. Immediately yells for Charlie to get help as she bursts through the Hotel doors carrying you.

She’s holding your hand the entire time muttering how sorry she is.

She’ll pull you into her lap and stroke your hair.

Her hand will end up resting atop your pulse as she gets sleep for the first time since you left.

If you so much as breathe wrong, she’s calling for someone more experienced to check on you.

Velvette

Velvette’s a ruthless person to get in an argument with.

It’s not surprising when you leave and don’t come back.

She’ll act like she’s not worried but secretly is.

When she finds you, she’s swearing up and down and she scoops you up.

She basically dumps you with Vox. Trusting him to get you to stop bleeding and you to pull yourself together in the end.

She’s going on a hunt.

She comes back bloodied and with a mania in her eyes that is rarely seen.

You don’t leave her side for a while.

Vox

Vox has eyes everywhere.

He’s keeping one on you at all times.

He doesn’t need to find you even when you storm out because he always knows where you are.

You need time away from him? That’s fine. He’s watching you the entire time though.

You don’t even get the chance to start bleeding anything severe because as soon as you get nicked, he’s there.

The soul who dared to hurt you is electrocuted and fried before you even realize it’s Vox who entered the scene.

“Hot as it is watching you fight, I do hate to see you hurt.”

He stroked right beneath the place where you were cut, smearing the blood.

[circeiously]

someone's probably done this already but here's my translation of the latin in Your Idol from kpop demon hunters because i clocked that dead language so fast. it was embarrassing how excited i got. now using this as motivation to actually practice latin whoops.

full disclosure ive only had one full year of wheelocks latin under my belt so if someone more knowledgeable finds this please gimme some feedback. i have nothing but my cassels dictionary, latin is simple, and a dream.

The whole chant goes like:

Dies irae illa vox solve in favilla, maledictus erus, in flamas eternum.

Now here's a breakdown as I work through the vocabularly.

Dies = nominative, singular form of dies/diei, which means "day" it could also be the accusative, plural but i have a feeling its gonna be the subject. Irae = the genitive, singular form of ira/irae, which means "of anger." Illa = fem nom sing of ille, illa, illud, which means "that" Vos = this is the plural nominative or accusative form of the pronoun tu, which means "you" but in a plural sense Solve = okay this is where i started to have trouble. i think this is the imperative form of solvo solvere solvi solutum, which has a wide meaning. the imperative means we should be looking at a command here. basic meaning is "to loosen" but im thinking its not that. another meaning is "to release" which i think makes more sense in this context. In = could be "in" or "into". one of the more simple latin words. Favilla = favilla/favillae means "glowing ashes." fun! it's in the ablative case, and connected to the "in" it means "into ashes." Maledictus = this is an adjective in the masc sing nom, meaning "cursed." Erus = erus/erui is like, the master of a house or owner Flamas = pretty intuitive here, but flamma/flammae is a flame, blaze, blazing fire. Flamas specifically is the accusative plural, so it'll translate to the direct object. Eternum = again pretty intuitive. i did have trouble here again because my dictionary has this in as aeternum so that took a bit to find. it's in the masculine accusative form of the adjective, modifying flamas to make "eternal flames." i am a bit confused because eternum is singular and flamas is plural, but ive read the vulgate and that doesn't often follow the latin rules, so this isnt unprecedented.

okay now to piece it together.

The first half of the sentence is "Dies irae illa vos solve in favilla" which means "That day of anger/wrath will release you into ashes."

I got the "will release" from the imperative, so it's like a command that you're gonna be released into ashes buddy. i'm not entirely sure this is correct though.

"Maledictus erus" is just "cursed master"

And the last part "in flamas eternum" is just "into eternal flames."

So the whole thing is "That day of wrath will release you into ashes, cursed master, into eternal flames."

My whole latin process is kinda not good because i never really pay attention to the cases or forms and just, go with the vibes. like i know what it's saying i just can't tell you why it says that professor. so this was a good exercise in actually stopping to see what the words are doing.

ALSO there's a gregorian chant called "Dies Irae" so there's probably some inspiration taken from that. the whole "Your Idol" scene gave me such creeps cause it was just so- yeah. this was just for fun and made me feel productive so i hope this was interesting for anyone who made it this far.

Family dynamic. | Vox's sibling!Reader.

Content: Implicit imposter syndrome, subtle hints of depression. General description of S.Reader's relationship with The Vee's.

A/N: Probably the last thing you'll see of this particular reader unless I get requests for potential relationships with other Hazbin hotel characters.

Frankly, Hell wasn't exactly what you had in mind, if anything, this particular ring of Hell was like Earth with extra steps and fancier titles: people (read: sinners) still got killed, sometimes there was a transactional reason behind, sometimes just because ; consent was also a bit of a myth here too ; politics? Not exactly. Religion? Uh, duh — after all, the fancy titles previously mentioned were: Archangels, Seraphims, Angels, Sinners and Hellborns (was Adam his own category? His title was First Man and, according to some sources, he had self-proclaimed as Dickmaster or the original dick).

The only upside thus far was that your physical form was kind of cool (literally, a humanoid robot so... an android that had to regulate its body temperature to not overheat), no bones ached, no muscles hurt and you couldn't get sick (a virus, maybe...?) plus your cult leader brother was, to no one's surprise, a cult leader! With the power of hypnosis which, in retrospective, was kind of like his gig back on Earth with manipulation skills that had been perfectly crafted and mastered throughout years and years of studying the human psique and emotions.

The TV head was... new. Unexpected, certainly hilarious even if the context was gruesome to an extent. It made sense, same goes with you: the right-hand, the prophet of this newfound god. Although your form was different since you died electrocuted because of a faulty electrical connection.

Ah yes, what is there to do in Hell..? The Radio Demon had gone missing as well as Lilith, part of you heavily believes that those two separate events are, in fact, connected despite the lack of evidence. A hunch though without something to back it up, you kept quiet — after all, you weren't a big mastermind, though you did enjoy chaos and creating a ridiculous amount of back-up plans in case something went terribly wrong. Cautious? Anxious? Oh, yeah. Your stubborn egotistical brother was careless when going through his many power-trips or when his rage made his (seemingly) perfect persona crack, hence why you just had to have ways to ammend any and all mistakes. Problems made you uneasy, utterly sick — gotta fix 'em, gotta have potential solution for every possible scenario no matter how insane they could be. You never know! You have to know, a sense of being capable of choosing, to own something, just about any single aspect of your life just had to be yours to control.

Nonetheless... Hell, huh. What to do? Unlike Vox, your powers were quite limited and served as support for his, rinse and repeat a life on that one. Besides that, you weren't an official Vee member, more like an honorary one — and thanks to you being a charmer, a problem solver (people-pleaser) and overall someone who rather live comfortably, well... You started babysitting looking after Valentino whenever Vox was too busy (read: didn't want to put up with his bullshit) and this lead to uhhh, unwillingly being dragged to his studio. The porn actors loved you, which made Valentino hate you but also love you as well because "motherfuckers are more willing to cooperate when there's una cara bonita como la tuya around these parts" while squeezing your 'cheeks' (screen). Yeah, you didn't get why Vox wanted this mothman carnally, though his voice was podcast material, the accent? Delicious.

Now when it came to the backbone of The Vee's, it was a trickier situation — mostly due to not having an actual reason to interact with Velvette. Sure, you guys exchanged texts like roasting Vox and Valentino, gossip, some blackmail material... Memes, selfies, the very basic. Being physically in the same room was comfortable, pleasant silences while sitting next to each other and showing funny videos from your respective devices ; or sharing private conversations that were hilarious with or without context, that's for sure! Oh and, let's not forget that this fashionista icon and unforgiving social manager will absolutely roast you if you are dressed like last century. Still, she was kind to you and, in return, you behaved the same way — work collegues, or flatmates would be a way to describe how you two got along.

okay hit us with the game suggestions pls i wanna know EVERYTHING!!!!

YAYYYYYYY

okay first: the crosswords that i enjoy because i am a crossword puzzle solver first and foremost

vox’s are fun and a midi size so bigger than mini but not as big as like 15x15 (standard weekday size)

i also enjoy la times crosswords and they’re not paywalled !!

caleb’s inferno is a monthly crossword that gets more difficult as you descend !

as mentioned in my og post i like scrabblegrams as a fun little daily word game :) but i also just like playing online scrabble against the computer or a friend

worldle is a fun daily geography game

relatle is a music game where you work from one musical artist to another through their similar artists on spotify

not a daily game but i like doing this grid logic puzzles

and also, and i can not stress this enough, sporcle is such a good boredom buster

[dreamii-krybaby]

I like how Doll’s father has so many fan names like its fucking pokemon.

Here is a list of fanon names I’ve encountered:

- “Triple A”/“AAA” aka Adán Alexander Aleksandorvic (This was made by a friend as a joke and this has let him to ironically want to see more of Doll’s dad in future EPs)

- Adán/Adan (its my personal fan name alongside other fans and my favorite fan name so far)

- Vox (After looking it up, Vox actually means “Voice” in latin, don’t know if that was the intent of the fan who used the name)

- Yuri

- Dimitri

- Zhenya

- Alexei

Am this 👌🏻 close to draw all of Doll’s dad’s different interpretations interacting with eachother. (Same with all of the interpretations that comes to Yeva)

Like I have to draw them like that one drawing of all the interpretations of Solver Thad in kitty size and inside a box.

Also I like how from what I’ve seen so far (mostly in *cough*fanfics*cough*) everyone has agreed in unison that he is teasing one in the relationship and cooks dinner.

Why tf am I brainrotting so hard over a character with like 5 secs of screen time, has no voice lines, has been dead since day 1, we know nothing of his personality and I have a vendetta against his ugly hat model in the show-

[hazbinhazbinhazbinreblog]

Idk if you know Murder Drones, but imagine if Vox has the Absolute Solver and he can’t control himself

(Again, idk if you know the show. It’s on YouTube if you wanna see it)

I've heard of it but never watched it, I will now though

@xluciifer called a meeting! ( giving advice ) cont.

     THE  WORDS  EARNED  A  CHUCKLE  FROM  VOX.  he supposed the assumption was fair  —  he had always been a chatterbox.  but he sincerely wasn't the best for a lot of advice.  while he did consider himself a hell of a problem solver,  it was rare that his ideas of solutions worked for others. within their  ...  goals,  per se.

or that they'd listen in the first place.

        ❛  well,  there's not much use in spending time pondering unanswerable questions.  but pride has plenty to offer in the matter of distraction.  why not let me treat you to a nice meal,  home - cooked.  or going out.  i can even rent a place out if you want it to be people - free?  ❜

[puzzlingrubberknife]

REBLOGGING AGAIN BC I FORGOT TO PUT LITTLE F/O MEETING STORIES

I met Mr. Puzzles accidentally, I caught his head when he was being launched into the sky and thought it was just an old tv. Took it home to fix up and next thing I know he grew his body out and the rest was history!!!

Ghostface was the same accidental meeting, he was originally gonna try to kill me but he grew fascinated by my robotic nature. He decided to introduce himself to me one day and I nearly killed him from being scared shitless lmfao

I met Vox after stealing an asmodeun crystal from a succubus thinking it was just some cool shiny jewel. Next thing I know I opened a portal to Hell. I started wandering around a bit, found out about Voxtek, and walked into the headquarters thinking it looked super sick. He realized pretty quickly I wasn't a sinner and started interrogating me on how I got the crystal. We formed a short termed rivalry trying to steal the crystal from each other then we realized we can just. Share it lmfao. It was a slow burn after that

I met V one day venturing to Copper 9 to see the apocalyptic wasteland everyone was talking about. Ended up meeting V after confusing me for a worker drone from the distance. After cutting my arms off she realized I wasn't an ordinary drone and started asking all sorts of questions about where I came from and if I was sent by the company or not. After some LONG EXPLAINING she agreed to let me live as long as I don't get in her way. She didn't actually start liking me until after 4 when Uzi's solver nearly killed me.

Me and Marsha met when we bumped into each other on the street. Coincidentally, we were both running from the cops for different reasons (I stole from a Walmart, she punched an officer in the face during a big protest). We teamed up to beat their asses and ran off together. I let her take shelter in my place (I live in an abandoned storage unit btw-) and we started building up feelings for each other.

I met Folly in one of my dreams. She was trying to give me nightmares about my time in the lab, but my eventual breakthough and recreating when I broke out made her a little impressed. She wanted to toy with me even more and gave me some mental endurance tests using her nightmares. It started off as a Wander and Lord Hater dynamic (I'm Wander) and it slowly turned into a full on relationship before either of us realized it.

big shout-out to selfshippers who put their dedication into writing lores for their insert/oc! you guys are awesome!

whether you stick to canon or make your own story, you know you're cooking good right there. we know making lore can be hard sometimes, but that's where the fun is!

the possibility is endless — you can put whatever you want into your insert without having to stick to canon at all, or you can be creative and connect the canon story to make your insert/oc alive. whatever it might be, you are doing amazing!

— how did you make your insert/oc? are they based on yourself or something else? and how did you meet your f/os? tell us your story!

rbs encouraged! ☆

Ok but which vox machina parent has to be taken away by the other parent because their child’s math homework is the devil

scanlan and vex. for SURE.

percy has always been really good at teaching math (and gradually learns to not be such a know-it-all), and pike is just naturally a patient and creative problem-solver—when she can't figure it out, she's perfectly happy to call someone else who can. but scanlan and vex, while clever and resourceful, are easily exasperated by math and its stupid rules and how all the little bits and pieces have to fit together. scanlan insists that geometric proofs do not run on logic; they were created by demons from the abyss to get frustrated students to make deals to solve them. (in my opinion he's right)

[eelhound]

"In Winners Take All, writer and former McKinsey analyst Anand Giridharadas describes what he calls 'MarketWorld,' which is:

'…an ascendant power elite that is defined by the concurrent drives to do well and do good, to change the world while also profiting from the status quo…these elites believe and promote the idea that social change should be pursued principally through the free market and voluntary action…that it should be supervised by the winners of capitalism and their allies, and not be antagonistic to their needs; and that the biggest beneficiaries of the status quo should play a leading role in the status quo’s reform…The MarketWorld problem-solver does not tend to hunt for perpetrators and is not interested in blame.'

I’ve seen this tendency in myself. It was harder for me to embrace a Left worldview because of the social ties I have with people who are perpetrators of the many harms inherent in our system. I have also seen this in my former colleagues, like a healthcare specialist who volunteered for numerous Democratic campaigns and strongly opposed single-payer healthcare. The definitive evidence he marshalled for why single-payer was a terrible idea was a Vox piece arguing that the system would only save money if doctors were paid less. Clearly, this outcome was more intolerable than 30 million Americans continuing to go without insurance. On his McKinsey [consulting] engagements, he works primarily with doctors and healthcare administrators, the people whose paychecks and jobs would be most negatively affected by a transition to a single-payer system. Their lives and livelihoods are far more salient than the millions of uninsured who exist only as numbers in spreadsheets. Any solution that requires redistribution of any wealth or power from the ruling class (the only class who can afford to hire McKinsey) is not even worth considering.

It is the same situation described by Tolstoy: 'I sit on a man’s back choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am sorry for him and wish to lighten his load by all means possible… except by getting off his back.'"

MUAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHA I FEEL EVIL!!!!!!

Mr. Puzzles - When I held his hand for the first time. That was pretty much the big moment for both of us, both of our feelings were repressed. We were just chilling on the couch watching a movie together and our hands accidentally brushed together and we both just. Simultaneously had a Moment.

Ghostface - Fun fact, he was originally going to kill me! Ok, not very fun, but y’now. He randomly chose me as his next target and started watching me, but he just found me. Interesting, I guess? Then he purposefully showed himself at a Halloween party for the sake of actually getting to know me without revealing he’s an ACTUAL KILLER and had a good chat with me. I found out my feelings a little bit later after he broke into my house for the first time and scared the living shit out of me, but I kept repressing it because WOW THAT’S A SERIAL KILLER YOU’RE GONNA GET HEARTBROKEN IF HE DIES OR SOMETHING WHICH HAPPENED LIKE MORE THAN TEN TIMES BY NOW but I kinda sorta gave in after he confessed to me during a rewatch of Saw

Vox - I found out my feelings pretty much from the first moment we met, but I was in denial thinking it was friendship. Vox found out a little later after he accidentally fell asleep while working. He woke up with a blanket on him and thought it was fucking WEIRD but the moment he finds out it was me? Yeah he fell HARD.

V - She HATED me at first. She hated how smug I was, how unfunny my jokes were, how annoying my laugh sounded, how soul crushingly adorable my face w-wait.

It was like a whole Spongebob and Squidward dynamic at first. I loved her almost immediately and wanted to get closer to her SO BADLY but she kept trying to look for ANY excuse to get me to leave. The moment she realized she actually LOVED me was around the point of Episode 3 during Doll’s whole solver thing. When she realized I could be in ACTUAL DANGER she did everything she could to keep me from being murdered in the most gruesome way possible. Afterwards we both had a whole “oh shit we’re actually crushing hard” moment and officially became a thing.

Marsha - I fell first, she fell harder. It was a “love at first sight” thing for me, but it took a while for her to get actual feelings. We started off as friends until one day while we were going out to eat. We got jumped by a gang trying to rob us because we LOOKED rich (despite the fact we indeed aren’t and her currency is completely useless to them), so we started beating the shit out of them. We went home together to take care of each others’ wounds, and at some point in that moment she fell for me. She doesn’t remember when exactly, it just slowly creeped up on her.

When did your F/O(s) realize they fell in love with you? Was it a sudden moment or did they realize that they've always felt this way for you and it's a feeling they haven't felt with anyone else before? Was it love at first sight? Were they in denial at all or did they immediately except it and start kicking their feet giddy over you?

How about you? How did you react realizing your feelings?
