I added Ear, short for Tiberius. :)

Ear is in foster care and has crippling anxiety that he manages through frequent soothing rituals. The magic shop is on his way home from school, so her often goes trying to buy tarot readings among other things(even though they almost always refuse to charge him).

Machete sees a lot of his younger self in ear, so he and Vasco are like unofficial parents.

🐸🚨New Frog Just Dropped!🚨🐸

Meet the ✨Most Beautiful Tree Frog✨, Guibemantis pulcherrimus, a new species described by my colleagues and me in the journal Zootaxa this week. The scientific name 'pulcherrimus' literally means 'most beautiful'. It's a close relative of Guibemantis pulcher (just 'beautiful', ha!), but has more little spots and less pronounced lateral blotches. It's found in the northeast of Madagascar, where it lives in Pandanus screw-palms.

Maybe I’m just chronically out of the loop but I didn’t know delivery robots and self-driving cars and AR glasses were real until this year. Like I thought whenever people referred to them, they were just discussing a hypothetical future of shitty technology and not an actual thing that already exists in tech-savvy cities. I find it unsettling and I don’t trust it.

One more thing ! Kinda related to the topic of Vox and Alastor again, before I go back to sleep for a lil while then I'm gonna come back and maybe post some headcanon-y things about Alastors thoughts/feels on other characters according to me. TBH, I'll probably leave this up as an actual HC post on its own too... But yeah I wanted to say: I think the suggestion from canon is and as far as my headcanon goes regardless, Alastor doesn't actually "hate" modern technology because he doesn't know how to work it or can only like things from his time period or whatever.... My Alastor's dislike/avoidance of modern technology is because of Vox. You'll notice Lucifer makes an odd remark about the television, too, cause I think the thing to consider here is that in hell TV isn't just TV, its depicted as a supernatural force of its own, and Vox is the one with complete dominion over it, if not responsible for it. Theres a TON of really fun dark / psychological / horror tropes associated with TV / Media that are very real in hell in the Hellaverse :

The "Brainwashing Box": Portraying television as a tool for mind control, where characters become deeply influenced or manipulated by what they watch, often with sinister agendas behind the programming.

The "Glowing Screen of Doom": Depicting excessive television viewing as a harmful addiction, leading to isolation, neglecting responsibilities, and mental health problems.

The "Twisted News Cycle": Exploring how news media can manipulate information, presenting biased narratives or creating sensationalized stories to control public opinion.

The "Surveillance Society": A narrative where television is used as a tool for mass surveillance, monitoring people's actions and thoughts.

The "Television Demon": A supernatural trope where a malevolent entity appears through the television screen, preying on viewers.

All the above is pretty much explicitly applied to Vox that we've so far seen and he is LITERALLY the television demon. I'm also pointing particularly to the surveillance society trope because we also EXPLICTLY saw this and we get the very clear idea that Vox quite literally stalks Alastor through video and this seems to have been going on for a long while, maybe even before they were beefing, which is why Alastor apperently consciously tries to distort / prevent his appearances on camera / feed. So for my Alastor anyway this is whats true. He has a general understanding of modern technology and even knows how to use it more or less. He's NOT completely tech illiterate at all, he is , however, a bit "out of touch" with it but less because he's some ancient guy who cant / wont learn, but rather he more just avoids it because its Vox's medium and, honestly, even if Vox didn't have some kind of supernatural presence within most of hells tech, he's unable to interact with it at all without thinking about Vox and their past ━ or maybe even its a constant reminder of who/what Vox is now and Alastor would really rather the fuck not. We have also seen moments where when Alastor WANTS Vox to see him, he isn't really distorted on camera. He will actively place himself in a position where Vox can clearly see him. I think this was also kind of shown when Alastor was not only introduced in the first episode as being the one to film and put together and entire TV advertisement for the Hotel (albeit steeped a hilarious amount of malicious compliance) but the fact that apperently Alastor's less resistant to using "technology" that isn't somehow connected to VoxTek, which we get the impression is currently very rare in hell. This could also be why technology at the Hotel seems to very outdated. Anyway.

The little name tag in the corner of Caleb's videos suggests he's sending them to some sort of social platform. So, what if nobody is replying not because they're all dead but because the site just doesn't have users anymore? He's been asleep for about 50 years, he's posting to the equalivent of MySpace.

Chasca came across in the Archon Quest as serious and cool and potentially even intimidating in the right circumstances.

But I just saw her gameplay leaks and struggle to take her seriously now. What is that. Why.

the 19 year olds in this house watching me extract files from my old canon point & shoot camera (letting my sister use because it’s trendy) & uploading it to google drive for them saying things like “how do you know all of this” “this is so confusing” “you’re so techy”

people defending the concept of mlis’ is crazy i work as a librarian and i’m telling you the only people who agree you need a master’s are the most obnoxious classist people imaginable, basically everyone with that degree hates that they had to get it and thinks it’s unnecessary, there is almost nothing you do as a librarian that you can’t learn on the job or from max 15 college credits
