Free/final Day Of Summer Vees Week!

Free/final day of summer Vees week!

Lulu world does not approve of nuaghty actions ON attractions of their rides and will censor your ride photos at arrival of photo pickup.

I remeber when theme park employees had to cover up ride photos with their hands and a step stool. So much faster nowadays 😌

Lucifer's 'he's an overlord!?' reaction is hilarious because I imagine Alastor had the same reaction to Lucifer in the beginning.

Alastor: I've never been so disappointed in my life.

Continuation of this post

Demon summoning can get pretty complicated when you have a psychosexual crush on your best friend. Even more complicated when the demon is your best friend, sort of. Hey, Vox isn't complaining—since when is more of Alastor considered a punishment?

or: jordan peele's us (2019) if it was about demons, and also if the protagonist knew he was in a psychological horror film and gave up halfway through to fuck the demons instead

We know both of them are obsessive stalkers and Vox technically has more monitors around his control room and all the cameras are "Vox"-themed.

But I think there is something to be said about him needing an initial push to set it all in motion.

Valentino probably realised he could turn this into an advantage if he leveraged the info juuuussst right. And then his eternal failing of being a temperamental bitch got the better of him. Come to think of it, his obsession with Angel Dust led to Valentino knowing more things about the Hotel than Vox did. His whole speech about "going to that rancid shithole..." etc. was as much exposition for the audence as it was for Vox because it was pretty clear that Vox had no clue until Val told him.

That is such a spicy nugget of info. I love it!!

I Just Had a Thought About Something...

I see a lot of people commenting on Vox always stalking Alastor through the drones around the hotel and being a creepy voyeur, but something just occurred to me...

Vox didn't know Alastor was back until Valentino told him.

Literally up until this point, Vox has very little reason to want to spy on the hotel. But you know who does have a reason?

Valentino.

Who turns on the TV that instantly tune into the cameras pointed at the hotel?

Valentino.

Vox hasn't been watching the hotel at all. It's been Valentino. We know that Alastor has been back at this point for a week at minimum and that Angel Dust has been staying at the hotel for even longer than that. With how much of a control freak Vox is, there's no way Alastor's reappearance would have escaped him for a whole week if he was actually paying attention to those cameras. Meaning he didn't give a shit and if he didn't care, then why put them up at all? I think it's incredibly likely that Valentino asked Vox to put the cameras up around the hotel so he could watch Angel Dust. The bitch literally already had his TVs turned to the hotel feed. He's been watching Angel this entire time.

(Side note, that means Valentino could have known about Alastor for a solid week and purposefully did not tell Vox about it which is shady as Hell)

I like how much this aligns with my own personal headcanon. It's so good!

Love this

Yes, get polycule'd IDIOT 😈

Yooo you have an Alastor + Vaggie-centric AU 👀👀👀 what are some of the details if you don’t mind me asking jagsjajhsjsk

OKAY SO. back in april, birdsaretoddlers and i were talking about the potential hilarity of a vaggie/charlie/alastor poly dynamic and then we accidentally got way too into vaggie/alastor as a concept, which spiraled into a whole au that has unfortunately not left the discord server but MAYBE. SOMEDAY......

the barest bones of it are essentially that vaggie represents everything that alastor finds most pathetic & baffling in other people: dogged, singular loyalty to a cause & a person based on sheer loving devotion, with no ulterior motives or plans beyond protecting and supporting that person. and of course she rubs him the wrong way extremely frequently, just as much as he gets on her nerves. she's nearly codependent with charlie while alastor would rather chew off his own foot than be tethered to someone in that way. he's the type of sinner who exemplified vaggie's mission as an exorcist, the kind of demon she wouldn't have thought twice about cutting down because he clearly deserves it. he's never felt remorse in his life and vaggie has been walking on her knees for a thousand miles in the desert repenting since the day she fell. they are diametrically opposed.

AND YET. alastor recognizes a lot of his own traits in her as well! she's guarded, secretive, violent, has a lot of trust issues, and possessive of what she considers hers. alastor knows exactly what that's like. but vaggie is mystifying to him, because he cannot for the love of g-d understand what kind of sentimental nonsense could drive her to recklessly put her life on the line for charlie over and over and over again, with no regard for her own safety and NO other motivations besides?? LOVE??? sounds fake but ok.

vaggie also sees some of herself in alastor too, as much as it rankles—she's reminded viscerally of herself in the early days after losing her wings and her eye, suspicious and traumatized and deeply mistrustful of charlie's good intentions. couldn't even fathom that kindness could be genuine in hell. she looks at alastor and all of his trust issues and decides "redeeming this guy is impossible, but i really think i could at least get him to stop biting," you know, like you'd think about a reactive shelter dog who keeps growling at your handful of treats. you'll never be able to take that dog out in public without a lot of precautions and low expectations, but at least at home, it'll trust you not to hurt it if it lays its head in your lap.

for alastor's part, his whole interest in vaggie starts off as a way to cuddle up to charlie (and piss off lucifer), but he rapidly gets way too invested because there's no such thing as doing anything ironically for long, and it's kind of his Move, yk? he worms relentlessly into someone's life until he firmly has their attention, and then when he realizes he's in too deep and tries to withdraw and they cling, he's like "?? leave me alone??" (bird: "the ol vox special gets him literally nowhere") but now VAGGIE is invested too bc she's reluctantly fond of this creepy weirdo who eats deer carcasses in his room and for some reason let adam almost kill him defending the hotel, he doesn't get to just crawl away and die from his injury now that she's finally starting to like his freak ass. of course alastor is a nightmare patient and vaggie's bedside manner is atrocious so they're really bad at it. but they're trying and that's what matters!!

(also, charlie is weeping with joy in the background of all of this—her two biggest supporters, getting along!! kind of!! she's so proud of them both!!!! [alastor has completely forgotten that this venture started off as a way to manipulate charlie. get polycule'd, idiot]).

hopefully one day we'll manage to turn this into an actual fic, but for now enjoy these highlights :]
