for all his infamous reputation and generally unpleasantness i don't think alastor is, naturally, a betrayer. we see how he handles his two canonical friends in the show ( rosie & mimzy ), who both have nothing but positive things to say, and not just miscellaneous good things, but stuff like “you love taking care of me” and “he's never steered me wrong before” ... mimzy literally puts alastor's life in danger with her problems and he never holds it against her, actively indulging this selfish behavior and seeing it as a point of pride. he allows the two a lot of leeway, a lot of touching, and isn't uncomfortable nor irritated about it. which isn't even mentioning how he clearly feels at home in cannibal town ; a place that's characterized by a rare sense of unity you hardly see in hell. where everyone helps each other and once charlie wins them over, they have no qualms giving her their loyalty and delivering on it. cannibals are the most loyal sort of demons we've seen so far! and alastor loves them, and loves it there with them. so i think he's much more loyal than he wants to be, but it's still inherently within him ( & is something he respects and likes ) regardless.
this doesn't mean he won't betray the hotel! because i think he will, and it'll be every bit as awful as it feels like it's going to be, except the point of it is less 'this is how alastor naturally is' and more so 'here is a man pushed to extremes from outside forces and inner turmoil he refuses to sort through, to the point he's doing things that he believes are something he'd do, when in fact the people who know him best will probably not understand him or his current actions' ... do you feel me!
#ooc.#alastor is bad in a lot of ways dgmw but i don't think betrayal is his style#especially since he's so picky and cautious with his friends to begin with. he won't trust someone unless he's certain of their motives#( or thinks he's certain! )#like to me alastor is in-between a rock and a hard place!#he cares for the hotel which is wrong. because he's forced to be there so how can he enjoy their miserable company??#he cares for this stupid project which is wrong. because that can't be true when alastor would never work with another ( unless forced! )#he almost died for his 'friends' because he genuinely wanted them to win and prevail? no! he was ... forced ...#man is using his deal as a crutch because he's changing and he Doesnt Like It#idk!! idk!!! just uh lots of thoughts on this freak obviously#to me he isn't a betrayer. but he Will Become One and he will think this is what the radio demon is#which is the tragedy ... </3#some people will destroy everything they care for just because they don't want to get a lobotomy. insane!#also i will never not go crazy over the fact that the one time alastor doesn't force his way into a song is when he's at cannibal town#and instead he literally uses HIS voice and vocals to back up rosie and charlie .... like the implications are INSANE there#he's working himself into the harmony he's not trying to change it or take charge of it he's just ... following#like ughhh </3 anyway imma try to work on drafts but i am sick over this please know
