Thinking About How Some Of The Hotel's Operations Are Depicted In Fanfics. I Love The Diversity And How

Thinking about how some of the Hotel's operations are depicted in fanfics. I love the diversity and how many little things people think about that are nevertheless important everyday life things. If it serves the story or the worldbuilding, it's worthy of inclusion and I am in love with that.

One part that is almost universally agreed upon is, that Niffty is the one doing laundry.

I humbly disagree and want to put forth my own theory.

It is Alastor that does the laundry.

Firstly, it's much easier to summon a bunch of shadow minions and just read a book while the rest is going on. Also I think his perfectionism would absolutely get the better of him. Even just thinking about putting whites with colours will make his skin crawl. Same with thinking about just tossing his or Charlies jackets into the washing machine would evoke a look of abject horror on his face.

This just won't do!

Besides his perfectionism and need to take control of absolutely everything, nothing is a more unobtrusive and comprehensive means of knowing things about the people around you than doing the laundry or emptying the trashcans.

Everything is known to the people cleaning your rooms or your clothes or both.

Just one wiff is going to tell him things. Someone on their period? He's gonna know about it. Someone not taking their medication? Alastor's gonna know and WILL MAKE YOU TAKE THE DAMN THINGS WITH A GLASS OF WATER, YOU HEATHEN.

Everything can be used as leverage somehow. Vaggie in a bad mood? Avoid her. Charlie being teary and weepy and CLINGY? Make the most saccharine sweet breakfast known to demonkind and AVOID AT ALL COST.

Also imagining him with those elbow-length rubber gloves while handling Angel's work clothes. After long discussion and many protests Alastor has taken on that task, too, where before Angel would absolutely just make sure to wash those by himself and with industrial strenght biohazard solvents.

Smells like Valentino and Vox are in their "off" phase right now... interesting....

I have so many ideas for AUs that i simply lack the technical skill to realise.

Anyways, have a weird sketch of a demon with a jetpack.

Also take this timelapse. I've never used this feature before so i have no idea how that is going to turn out.

I always like the idea of other religion's afterlives existing as sort of parallel universes.

Like imagine a portal opening over Pentagram City and instead of angels flowing out of that, it's dragon longboats.

"We have come to claim this land for Odin!"

hazbin hotel is tricky with religious stuff because it's a universe that plays fast and loose with a heavily modified version of christianity that is Real and True, so it doesn't really attempt to tackle or address other religions -- which i think is totally fair, because it would be too difficult to reconcile that sort of thing with the worldbuilding while ensuring the premise stays coherent. still, i would be curious about how different religious folks try to reconcile going to hell in the hazbin universe because it's an interesting thought experiment. what would you do if you went to another religion's hell, but it isn't even exactly how they believed it was going to be? i actually think there's a lot of flexibility in hazbin's strategic avoidance of mentioning g-d (and the heavy editing of the eden story) because it leaves some wiggle room for the possibility of accommodating the reality of this particular iteration of hell into different theological systems without betraying one's core beliefs

I think it may have taken him a few years to even just get on his feet. I actually envision him just working some odd jobs for a few years, laying low and just observing and learning from the people around him. Being the social impostor in the room probably helped him in life and so he employs that same tactic while in Hell.

Be the fly on the wall until it is time to strike.

And when he struck the rise was truly meteoric. As you said, I think the only person that rose to Overlord status faster than him is Velvette (and isn't THAT an interesting thought to chew on?)

Once he was confident he could dispatch big game as he pleased, I think that phase of him being cocky and out in the open started. As we saw in that flashback from Mimzy, people used to openly laugh at him and dismiss him. There must be an element to that where he declared himself as the Radio Demon but people had no idea what that actuall meant.... until the broadcasts started and people went missing, of course :D

how long do we think it took for alastor to come clean about being the radio demon. months? years? how long was this man terrorizing everyone anonymously before he finally caved to the desire to be recognized for his hard work

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

I just love seeing the process of these ❤

Timelapses are so fun to watch!

I love your work so much! 😭 Do you ever record your process? I would love to see how you end up with such a clean product 👉🏻👈🏻

Hi! Here’s a timelapse of this chaggie comic I did.

Pretty much shows my process :)
