{{I think I may have finally figured out how to explain one of my favorite aspects of RadioHusk:

Alastor is very autistic-coded and can canonically be seen struggling with some elements of pragmatics (ex. Rosie’s “ace in the hole” joke). This isn’t to say that he doesn’t understand the use of social language - after all, he’s able to utilize manners, eloquence, and poise to effectively communicate all the time.

The issue is that Alastor has learned the rules of language as a manipulation tactic. Because of this, I wouldn’t be surprised if Alastor is always looking for hidden meanings in other people’s words and becoming frustrated if some social cues go over his head. It’s for this reason that I imagine meeting Husk was a breath of fresh air.

Husk is honest, and blunt, and doesn’t sugar coat or dance around things. He’s direct in a way that doesn’t leave room for (many) misinterpretations. He’s also fairly patient and extremely perceptive, so I’m sure Husk clocked Alastor’s neurodivergence ages ago and learned how to better understand him.

When it comes to how I write Husk, he recognizes that neurodivergence in Alastor and is willing to adjust conversation and think outside the box when interacting to ensure he and Al are speaking as close to the same language as possible. There’s a breakdown in understanding? Husk will pause things to communicate and elaborate until they can move forward. It can get harder when his emotions are heightened, but he tries for Alastor.

And this is why I believe Al didn’t mesh with Vox: Vox was trying to get Alastor to fit into his mold and probably became easily frustrated and confrontational about communication errors. So in any instance of Vox getting pissy about how Alastor could possibly “choose that scrungly drunk over me?” Alastor can easily point to the ways Husk creates compromise in their communication.

Vox was obsessed with Alastor. Husk loves him.}}

Thinking about radiohusk with the strangled by the red string trope, except it's Alastor who's in control of the red string and brings it around both him and Husk. Entangling them. Unable to move or escape, unable to exist outside of each other's existence. Let's become forced soulmates where not even death will do us part. Let's share a destiny together, and have dreams of each other every night. Let's fall in love, even if it didn't work the first few times. Even if you don't want it, but that doesn't matter. Just give it time. We only have the rest of eternity.
