#ace striker

[im-a-regular-joe]

I for one stan aro/ace striker hc but the reasoning is kinda dumb for some people. Like if I was about to kill you and made a sex joke I would take a step back and say what in the actual fuck. like you see that?

But I want more aro/ace rep but thats not a solid enough reason.

me, writing anything about hazbin + helluva: but what if everyone was aspec??? what then!????

I knew that my book was something special when folks reading it on Sufficient Velocity made dank memes of my characters.

“Striker is an oppressed minority living in poverty who probably has good reasons to hate royalty” and “Striker is a sadist cruel piece of shit person who murders people and enjoys it” are two things that can exist in the same character.

He’s not a hero and that’s fine. He doesn’t have to be. He can just be a dick who had one point.

90% of Striker discourse would dissapear if people understood that someone acknowledging the flaws of the system doesn’t automatically translate into them being a revolutionary.

That being said, he’s not a raging misogynist or an embodiment of toxic masculinity. He’s got a superiority complex, but it’s over other imps as a whole and not just specifically him thinking he’s better because he’s a cis dude. I don’t know where the idea “he’s become like Gaston” has come from, but that’s not the case.

Not saying he doesn’t target the ladies too, but within the series his victims are usually men, no? Only Millie was the single woman we see him directly fight. Him calling Stella a “cunt” is probably because he doesn’t like working for her? I’d call her a cunt too lmao tbf

also I have to say this because you people are so weird abt ace hcs

being repulsed by a sexual remark when choking someone or holding a gun to them isn’t sex repulsion, it’s called being normal.

some people already stereotype the canonical ace characters as all just celibate sex aversed, touch averse prudes. i don’t need to see y’all going onto posts going “striker is ace n sex repulsed” when he has NO pride flag and legit uses seduction to get what he wants.

Rosalina's Weirdly Consistent Modesty

Have you ever noticed that Rosalina has consistently shown the least amount of skin between her, Peach and Daisy (and in more recent years Pauline) when they are put in alternate outfits?

I promise this post won't be creepy or puritanical, this is strictly about character analysis.

Believe it or not, Mario & Sonic started this trend (as far as I know). These are their Rhythmic Gymnastics outfits:

She's the only one who has sleeves.

These are their beach outfits/swimwear:

Rosalina shows the least amount of skin; you can't see her midriff nor can you see her thighs.

These are their doctor uniforms:

She doesn't show her legs.

These are their tennis outfits:

She's the only one wearing leggings.

These are their golf outfits:

Again, Rosalina completely covers her legs whereas Peach and Daisy don't. Pauline here is wearing trousers, and is therefore covering her legs, but unlike Rosalina with her that isn't usually the case when it comes to sports attire.

And in Battle League:

Despite there being customizable clothes, she is the only one of the four human girls to permanently have tights and sleeves, they cannot be taken off.

Rosalina's consistently modest clothing is a great and effective way of showing and emphasizing her mature and reserved nature. Especially in comparison to the other girls, with their outfits suggesting that they're more playful, youthful and flirty (Peach in particular), or sporty, outgoing, and willing to show off (Daisy in particular). Rosalina's clothes also add to her mysterious nature by physically and literally hiding parts of herself away.

Ain't character design fun?

This post is about the clothes, but I like how in their Mario & Sonic renders; Peach strikes an elegant pose, and Daisy waves confidently at the camera with a hand on her hip, but Rosalina is the only one who doesn't look directly at the camera (as if she is avoiding eye contact) and clasps her hands around her knee. Her body language is literally closing herself off. However, one leg remains outstretched, showing she's still capable of reaching out to others, even if she's not as extroverted or cheery as Peach or Daisy.

Even body language can say a lot.

THE STRIKER AND ALASTOR ASPEC4ASPEC RELATIONSHIP SAGA

off the back of this post

@justletmeon12 this ought to exist outside of notes honestly:

justletmeon12 said: Now I suddenly want them to meet in S2. They hate each other because everyone in Hell hates everyone else when they meet, and whatever convoluted plot has caused the crossover has them briefly on the same side. Striker starts griping about everyone making it seem like a sex thing, because most of life ISN’T SEX, and Alastor looks at him like he’s the only rational person in Hell and offers to buy him a drink later. justanotherhh said: @justletmeon12 striker and alastor go out for drinks and it’s absolutely chill and there’s no tension whatsoever and they both sigh in relief (and then they go on their villainous ways, content that they can try to kill each other next time without anyone making it weird!) justletmeon12 said: @justanotherhh The next time someone (definitely not Vox, no sirree) wants to put a hit out on the Radio Demon, Striker volunteers to do it cheap, because succeed or fail, at least it won’t be awkward. justanotherhh said: @justletmeon12 sdfghjgfdsdfhj alastor and striker having a sort of chill “we can be enemies who try to kill each other” situation that makes everyone around them ??????????? because their framing for relationships is so alloromantic and they don’t understand this 5d galaxy brained dynamic at all justletmeon12 said: @justanotherhh “Sooo, are you two…” [awkward, vaguely obscene gesture] “Et tu, Angel Dust?” “That tears it. Free booze isn’t worth it. Next time, we’re getting drinks somewhere nobody knows either of us.” “Ha! Good luck with that, Strikering. There isn’t a bar in the city where I’m not a regular or banned!” justanotherhh said: @justletmeon12 ET TU ANGEL DUST!!!!!!!!!! cannot tell if it’s harder being aspec irl or in hell 😂😂😭😭 justletmeon12 said: @justanotherhh Well, murder isn’t an option in real life… justanotherhh said: @justletmeon12 *alastor grinning shiftily* … noooo…. sure…. isn’t……………. justletmeon12 said: @justanotherhh (I was hoping you’d do that)

@creepysora and I were also talking about how in all likelihood Striker wouldn't really be able to kill Alastor, because of the sheer power-difference (but, you never know... Niffty killed Adam after all), but it just becomes their way of hanging out. "FINALLY violence that's understood on both parties sides to be completely un-erotic and non-romantic!"

creepysora: I keep thinking that veeeeery slowly, Striker taking jobs to "assassinate" (unsuccessfully) the Radio Demon just start to morph into excuses to hang out with someone who Gets It. Neither knows how this happened. They start getting breakfast before trying to kill each other. Maybe this overlord can survive the class war actually. Mutually "hes useful so I cant kill him yet" delusion. Do they become better people through this? No. They encourage each other to kill people hitting on them. But everyone else surely is unhappy about this weird and unexpected development. not friends not enemies not lovers not rivals not a qpr but a secret fifth thing (aspecs desperate to connect with someone like them)

it's a good thing they both enjoy murder and violence so much, really gives them something to talk about

[julsiemagne]

Wow, if I had a nickle for everytime Edward Bosco has voiced a demon character who's been a victim of "the sex thing"

I'd have TWO NICKLES!!!

Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, right?

[askdeeds]

Ask anything huh... alright what's everyone's favourite gear set?

"I'm actually really fond of this set, lucky enough for me. What's it called, the Shah of Xia set?"

"Honestly I haven't been playing this game long enough to, uh, know? I picked up the titty armor set because it looked stupid and to show off for the stream. I'd honestly like to lean further into the Viking aesthetic later with something like this set.

"Once I've got the cash, I definitely want to lean into the armored princess look. I've had my eye on the Silk and Steel Set."

The only problem with the Dragon Under The Stones set is that it requires a sufficiently tall and impressive staff and hat to complete it."

"Shit, let's get stupid. What's the point of being in a fantasy world if you can't wear five inches of enchanted silk and get away with it?"

Fact: Pauline is Mario’s ex-girlfriend. She was kidnapped by Cranky Kong and, later, by the modern Donkey Kong on several occasions.

She is now the beloved mayor of New Donk City, known for her singing. Although Mario broke up with her, they remain good friends.

@sarahtunn had an idea for the six fanarts thing where it's all crushes, so I used it as an opportunity to try some style matching.

i dont think striker and alastor are characters who are "precious senpais who did nothing wrong" i just don't think they're as reprehensible as valentino or stella. their actions aren't excusable, no, but they aren't near that level of abhorrent.
