Ooh what is it that comic called?

I think Canon charlastor would have been awesome.

Sometimes I wonder what could've been if Charlie and Vaggie remained friends. Would Charlastor have a better reception in the fandom if this were the case?

Probably not. The only thing that chaggie not being canon would do is make people ship it more. Though I'll say that at least it not being canon would excuse the hamfisted writing concerning their interactions.

Here's the thing about charlastor, it's not cool because it's not "queer" enough. Nevermind that all kinds of queer fans of hazbin ship it, nevermind that Alastor is still asexual and Charlie is still bisexual even if the two of them were to be in a relationship. Because it "looks" straight it's therefore straight and thus not as good as the gay ships. It's the same reason those reminders about not being a judgemental asshole about couples at pride events has to circle around every June. Doesn't matter that a straight passing couple could have any number of types of people involved as partners, they they don't "look" queer enough (ignoring how for every other month in the year they are the same people saying how you don't have to look a certain way to be queer) they're trying to take the spotlight away from "real" queer people.

Have you ever seen that one comic about a monster support group where a normal human looking woman shows up asking about it and the leader decides to gatekeep her by asking about her parentage and she says that her parents are a mermaid and Minotaur and she just got the predominantly human parts? And then she's denied entry only to reveal she's there for her brother who is visibly monstrous but as she turns to leave you find out she has a tail and does not in fact have the amount of "human" privilege they assumed she did because she didn't look monstrous enough? It was a metaphor applicable to a lot of things but it's just as accurate here. Highly recommend it regardless since it's a masterclass in short form story telling.

Absolutely! I do think vaggie and angel dust are a very sweet couple anyway and Charleston has such promise and character growth that...so far we haven't seen from.vaggie.

ngl it's surprising to see how many parallels from canon ships Charlastor has with. lucilith, stolitz, Millie x Moxxie (have no clue what their ship name is) and Huskerdust(not canon yet but there's definitely a few similar traits charlastor shares with it)

For a non-canon ship, it sure is similar to a lot of canon relationships

If hazbin was made by literally any other person charlastor would be endgame canon. Viv has made a couple of comparisons about what chaggie is "allegedly" like that I simply don't see. They're like Jack and Sally, no because Sally never told Jack stop being the person you are to please others she actually told him to stop being something your not to try and fill an emotional void.

Oh, they made chaggie canon because the boarders were working on scenes where Charlie is talking to her partner and they just kept drawing vaggie in there because there was so much chemistry. Like, can we see this fucking amazeballs script that had the boarders sticking vaggie in all those moments because from where I'm standing show vaggie doesn't even pass the sexy lamp test. We already know chaggie wasn't originally supposed to be canon because Proto Vaggie was paired with angel dust! So what exactly is so captivating about Charlie and Vaggie's dynamic that they're established canon and yet don't feel like it? And before anyone says "well they've been together a while so it's dumb to expect them to be as passionate as the beginning"

Fizzmodeus. I don't care that Ozzie's the embodiment of lust. Half the time we saw those two together the point of their dynamic was demonstrating how stupidly in love they were while trying to disguise it as simple sexual attraction. And just based off simple math; fizz met Ozzie after becoming mammon's heir right? That clown competition has been held every year since fizz first won it right? And by the time he quits he's been doing it for nearly 10 years. Even being generous and figuring fizz and Ozzie didn't immediately get together I would still wager based on Ozzie's protectiveness, the detailed portrait in his office, the fact that he has a first aid kit with ready to go robotic limb placements it's been at least 5 years they've been together. So in that 5-10 year range they are still so in love it's sickening and obvious enough to everyone that the general reaction to the public finding out was "I knew it!"

And before we say that it was constrained for time, fizzmodeus before season 2 had a song, and Ozzie comforting fizz after he'd been knocked out. And the entire fandom clocked them as a ship. Even if they weren't originally intended to be, like chaggie, like huskerdust too, we can see them as a pre-established couple that STILL has chemistry despite having their own lives and having been together for a while.

Ozzie flat out refused to give stolas a crystal because fizz hated blitz, was trusted enough to be given the details of the worst day of fizz's life, could clock immediately once fizz and blitz had reconciled that this was the person who had his most important person's back and could be counted on. And even though Ozzie didn't like that fizz felt obligated to continue on with the clown thing for mammon, communicated that he didn't like how so many people saw fizz as a product to be bought and enjoyed, didn't like having to be the one in charge of MAKING that product, he never stopped fizz from making his own choices, he supported his partner in MEANINGFUL ways that do not change the essence of who fizz is. He listens and offers support if not solutions, encouragement that their partner can handle themselves and they will be there if needed.

Who does that for Charlie? Who refuses to leave her alone while she falls into a pit of self loathing? Really look Charlie and alastor's screen time in hello Rosie. Alastor is very calculating, and when he chooses to speak is exactly as important as what he chooses to say.

1. He doesn't like seeing Charlie wallow in self pity, as condescending as it likely comes across we already know he loves seeing Vox with his tail between his legs and doesn't believe in Charlie's goals so why wouldn't he take the opportunity to gloat about being right?

2. While he may like to prey on overconfidence in his victims we already know Charlie would have been more than willing to sell her soul for a chance at protecting her people. She was at her lowest point and rather than striking when she was in her darkest most defeated place he chose to wait until she was good and pissed and STILL didn't ask for her soul.

I fully believe he intended to make her mad because being mad means you're more than likely to do something about it. He antagonizes her on purpose so her fire comes back. When they go to Rosie's (which, again, we know he chose because cannibal town caters to Charlie's natural communication style) he only does enough to make sure Charlie's needs are clearly communicated to the overlord and provides a tangible benefit catered to their sensibilities. And when she's fully ready to be herself he does the equivalent of putting his actual heart in her hands. He had every confidence she could convince the other cannibals to join her cause. And then again the night before they could all die; he gives her his mic AGAIN. Charlie and Alastor might as well be pre-established canon because he does all the emotional work of a partner and they work together so seamlessly even when he's doing things she doesn't particularly like she knows why he does business the way he does.

🤞🤞🤞 manifesting charlie healing/seeing alastor's scar in season 2🤞🤞🤞

God I want that, I want that so bad. I need Charlie to be the only one Alastor can be vulnerable around. I need her to be the one that says "fuck you and the ego you rode in on you're hurt and I'm helping you"

I want that to be the moment Alastor realizes the caring princess thing isn't just some sort of weakness but the core of her strength. I want him to really start falling for her because he can't remember the last time someone took care of him. I want Charlie flustered because this is her business partner and someone she cares about and he almost died again because of her. I want that to be a physical reminder of what he has done for her that he didn't necessarily have to do and for her to recognize and appreciate it.

I have so many feelings and desires and wants.

ROTBTD - Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons

All of the bat kids have a “bird call” whistle unique to them, used to sound off at a distance without comms when necessary. It lets Bruce and everyone else know where they are and that they’re okay. Bruce will whistle first and they all reply. If someone fails to, he heads towards their last known location. It’s very helpful when operating outside of Gotham in more wild areas.

Don't let them stop you from shipping who you want. Tiktok doesn't understand

I finally admitted to tik tok that I ship charlastor and now I’m trying to explain to an illiterate fuckhead that aroace is a spectrum and Alastor can be shipped bc it’s not canon ship💀

[fireflyarc]

Guys! Can you believe I was gonna just CASUALLY watch Hazbin Hotel???

But it’s way too good. The writing is so tight, all the characters are interesting and layered, ALL THE SONGS:🔥🔥🔥

Alastor is such a Cheshire Cat! Not a characteristic I see often, but it’s always good! Gimme more immediately.👏👏👏

[fireflyarc]

Let’s me just dump these sketches over here.

I’ve been thinking so much about Alastor’s character and motivations I’m so in love!

He gives me: “I’m so terrified of feeling weak or vulnerable that I’ll do anything to never feel that.”

Deer boy, you realise sir Pentious is braver than you???

Unstoppable villain, meet immovable agent of friendship!

I was wondering in what circumstances Charlie would just OFFER her soul to Al.

And he would short circuit as all his manipulation plans become unnecessary.

Cause Charlie cares about her friends and if they need help she won’t hesitate.
