Heyyyy I'm so happy you are back I've needed you so much your post always made my day I loveee collection of souls its amazing 👏 I had a question if you haven't already answered it who was the favorite before alastor joined and how did they react when they realized they weren't the favorite anymore
Again love your post and take care
This is for {Collection of Overlords}, check MASTERLIST for the work
Oh ho~ The former favourite soul before Alastor. Hehehe~~
Now this might be obvious from the stories and trivia posts if you followed. Let’s do it by the process of elimination. Obviously we’re not counting Husk and the Vees because they are after Alastor, naturally that counts Alastor himself too. So the remaining ones are Zestial, Carmilla, Rosie, and Zeezi, there are other Overlords but they aren’t important cause they will be gone later so naturally they aren’t your favourite too.
Zeezi is a definite no no by the interaction she has with you even in the trivia posts. While you do provide seemingly more guidance to her so she stays in the collection, the attention she receives from you is more of a give-and-take basis. Lacking the devotion and trust of the other three.
Zestial is a close one but still no. He is the oldest surviving Overlord and soul in your Elite Collection, but he lacks that engagement to hold your attention. Don’t get me wrong, Zestial’s place in your collection is rock solid cause he collects relevant and reliable information for you, not to mention keeping your souls in line, so he’s nowhere near the thought of being rejected from your collection.
Rosie would be a candidate. IF she even has a soul. While it’s not revealed in canon, in this story, Rosie is said to be from the Gluttony Ring (check part 8). Hellborns don’t have souls. So Rosie’s a unique case, being taken in by you and given an Overlord status in the Pride Ring. She isn’t shown favouritism nor does she asks for it because she knows that it was asking too much. Instead, she returns as much as she can in seritiude to you.
So~ Who’s left? Yup, Carmilla Carmine. She was the second soul to join your collection and the most successful Sinner soul too, being the best weapon dealer in all of Hell. Pretty obvious, right? You hold meetings at her place and you extend your protection to Carmilla’s daughters as well, you didn’t do that to Rosie’s people. Carmilla’s ambition and pride paired with familial bond was what drew your attention, there’s this funny contrast that exist within her that you can’t understand. What’s a mother’s love or affection? Why are her daughters important to her, is it like you with your Cages? But you just use them to further your power. Why is she so prideful yet loving? All these questions.
As for reaction after Carmilla finds out she’s no longer the favourite… Hm… Funny, cause while she is the favourite, it wasn’t obvious to her nor do you make it a show. It’s Alastor’s case that was obvious, so it wasn’t until Alastor came along that the topic of you having a favourite is even possible.
Carmilla thinks Zestial’s the favourite cause his place was unmoving, Zestial thinks Rosie’s the favourite cause she and her town was in your interest, and Rosie thinks (knows) Carmilla’s the favourite cause she was allowed to hold Overlord meetings even without you present. Zeezi doesn’t care for the favourite and aims for staying in the collection.
Basically, there’s this uncertainty of who’s the favourite and no one thinks it’s them. Naturally, that applies to Carmilla not being aware that she’s the favourite. But it does explain their future interactions. So I’ll add that instead.
Zeezi isn’t seen interacting with Alastor in the show, but I view it as more of a neutral relationship between the two. While Zeezi is surprised that you do favourites, she doesn’t aim to fight Alastor for it. She knows her loyalty to you is undesiring when compared to Zestial, Carmilla, and Rosie, so how can she be compared to Alastor’s when he’s your favourite? She makes note of Alastor’s attitude, behaviours, and actions so she can learn and adapt to herself, but it’s only to the level of maintaining her status as an Overlord in your eyes.
Zestial’s interest in Alastor stems from wanting to understand what it is that got your attention and change in the form of your favour. As said, before you were cryptic enough that no one is aware who’s the favourite, but after Alastor it was so obvious to the point of jealousy. Make no mistake, Zestial doesn’t want to fight for the title of favourite, he just wants to know how to better himself so he will remain in your best interest and favour.
Rosie’s friendship with Alastor is pure friendship. Like her unwavering devotion to you, her friendship and kindness to Alastor has no strings attached after knowing that Alastor sworn loyalty to you in a similar way to hers but even farther. She does offer opportunities for Alastor, like deals as seen in Episode 7, because she can’t make deals so what better way to help you by helping Alastor? She knows you don’t like wasted chances and when Alastor’s the favourite and her friend, he’s the best demon to help and stand by.
Carmilla’s disinterest and subtle passive aggressiveness towards Alastor is cause of the favourites. When it was first made know that you can and do do favourites, she does question if she was one but the thought was quickly pushed back when she remembers she was arrogant in her beginning time with you. There is a certain degree of jealousy that Carmilla has towards Alastor holding your interest and favour, but she thinks she can’t compare with it. All she can do now is be as unaffected as she can while striving to do better in your eyes. She might not be able to match Alastor’s level, but maybe, just maybe, at least she can be a competitor or come close to challenge Alastor’s place.

Hiii
Its the fic on paper anon again
I was re-reading the last chapter of {Collection of Overlords} when I realized
"Why did Alastor burst into Rosie's shop?"
While he mentions being ashamed (?) for it, we're not told why he did that.
So yeah
Luv u ♡
This is for {Collection of Overlords} referring to part 10. Check MASTERLIST for the work
Interesting ask. Clarification then~
Oh, this is linked back to Part 8 when it was revealed that you’re in Cannibal Town and have been staying there for a while. During that time, Alastor have been busy with helping (pushing) Husk to be a candidate for the Overlord position. Alastor knows where you are and what you’ve been doing, so he does rush his work to be by your side.
[The door suddenly slammed open and revealed Alastor, his eyes blinked and his body froze like a deer in headlights.]
He’s not ashamed. It’s more like he’s shocked and a bit embarrassed that he came in unannounced, unlike a gentleman that he portrays himself to be. Not that he’s not used to barging in, but when you’re around he avoids it like the plague.
He came to Cannibal Town because he wants to join in on the celebration feast that you granted to Rosie and her people, since he’s like an honorary member of the townspeople. Well, more like he wants to make up for lost time when he was training Husk, but shhh, he’s a clingy deer. Anyways, he barged in cause he was trying to find Rosie and ask if he could use the kitchen and town supply to make something for you to dine in. Since the Cannibals will just feast on the bodies you provide them in an uncivilized way, better than their usual methods, but still not to standard table manners and it’s like not you corrected them as you saw no need to.
In the end, the shock is from the fact that Carmilla and Velvette is there, then add to you letting them hug you close with Rosie as the main hugger. Alastor’s not jealous of Rosie being close to you, he knows Rosie’s like that, but he doesn’t understand why Velvette is in the group hug. Don’t go there. Why are Velvette and Carmilla even here in the first place!?
That’s all Alastor’s thoughts when he arrived.
