WHO GAVE HIM THE RIGHT TO LOOK THIS GOOD

(Can we pleeeeeeease imagine Rosie helped him put this together lol)

It's gorgeous 😭

🖤

Alastor doodles.

Had a good laugh over this 😅 we don't blame you, Angel, everyone wonders.

It’s ok, guys, he’s just trying to visualise.

Recently discovered digital art so yeah here's a pilot Alastor screencap sketch of questionable quality lol

(I really loved pilot Al's expressions; they're so fun to draw!!! Say what you will, but the pilot had its own endearing charm and I adore it.)

Been thinking a lot about the whole "Alastor redemption arc" as a possibility for Hazbin seasons future (2 or onwards, this has the potential to be a several-season narrative). I think, in order for Alastor to really change in character for the better (intentional or not) he has to completely fall apart first. Whatever corner he's been backed into by his deal will probably make him more and more desperate to do absolutely anything and use everyone he knows however he feels he needs to to free himself. And I mean ANYTHING - this guy is not only a psychopathic cannibalistic demon serial killer, but also a soul-owning overlord with serious control issues. He could go on a pretty dark spiral to feel like he's staying in control when he's really losing all semblance of it - especially when he considers himself an unredeemable villain, and he's proud of it (it makes him untouchable, or at least feel that way).

Bridges are going to get burned with the main cast, and he might destroy just about every good relationship he's built. But this is Hell, and if he's in a soul contract with either of the people who we all suspect, it's not going to go well for him, and he's going to hit rock-bottom when he realizes he no longer has any control AND no one to turn to.

But that's where Charlie comes in.

Yeah, she's going to be mad. The betrayal will sting, especially when you can see just how much she wants to see the good in Alastor. And I can't imagine we won't make it through Alastor's downfall arc without him cashing in his favor in some twisted way - even if it doesn't hurt anyone else, it'll hurt Charlie. She won't want to forgive him, and she'll distance herself dramatically, likely just enough for Alastor to go and get himself into trouble.

But Charlie (and her crew) has that unfortunate all-forgiving, all-accepting streak that gets her into trouble so often... when it really matters, she'll do whatever she can to save him because that's how she is. And because Alastor is Alastor, that might be finally enough to get through to him - somebody helping him out of a situation that he would have abandoned anyone else in, assuming that they'd leave him without a care because he betrayed them (because that's what he would do). And yet here she is, stubborn demon child, back to save him for what reason?? Out of the goodness her heart?? No one in hell does things like that. It's HELL.

Ridiculous. Impossible.

Or maybe not, because here she is.

((Bonus brainrot: I can also see like a reverse Stockholm lol (getting close to people to use them and then WHOOPS accidentally getting close to them for real). He already admitted some level of fondness (which, for Alastor, is saying something) to Niffty in that last balcony scene, probably because he views her like Pentious's egg boys - someone small and insignificant to everyone (at least pre-Adam stabbing lol) who spews crazy things all the time. He can tell her things because it doesn't matter if she repeats them; everyone takes what she says with a grain of salt.)

This, but with the cast of Hazbin Hotel:

Alastor: If you bite it and you die, it’s poisonous! If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous.

Vaggie: What if it bites me and it dies?

Alastor: Well, that would mean you’re poisonous, Vaggie darling, do try to keep up.

Sir Pentious, looking spooked: What if it bites itself and I DIE??

Husk: Voodoo.

Charlie (concerned): What if it bites me and someone else dies??

Alastor (twitching and wishing he had never said anything): That’s correlation, not causation, my dear, don’t –

Niffty: WHAT IF WE BITE EACH OTHER AND NEITHER OF US DIE –

Angel: Ooh, kinky.

Alastor: Every time one of you speaks, the likelihood of someone dying increases. Go away, all of you, now.
