Alastor Theory - Tumblr Posts

Depending on the direction being taken with Alastor and his relationship with his mother (or his parents in general), this would be an interesting song for him. (Room of Angel from Silent Hill 4)

Especially with verses like:

"You lie, silent there before me, your tears, they mean nothing to me.

The wind howling at the window, the love you never gave... I give to you.

Really don't deserve it... But now, there's nothing you can do

So sleep, in your only memory of me... My dearest mother..."

"Here's a lullaby to close your eyes... Goodbye.

It was always you that I despised...

I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well...

Here's a lullaby to close your eyes... Goodbye."

"If I had died, I would have never felt sad at all...

You will not hear me say 'I'm sorry.'

Where is the light, wonder if it's weeping somewhere?"

Idk I've been seeing more theories about Alastor's mother being a more flawed parent and the like and they all sound super interesting! That and it would be interesting if Alastor's grieving process was a bit more complicated depending on how and why she may have died since it's not really uncommon for one to feel mixed feelings (even resentment) on losing someone you were very close to. Like he seems to hate himself but shifts the anger somewhere else sort of deal.

Alastor Theory

Okay, I'm gonna throw my hat into the ring when it come to who has Alastor on a leash and I'm not gonna say Lilith.

I think Eve might also be an option for being the one that owns Alastor's soul.

I think the Lilith connection is a bit too obvious and Lilith hates being forced into subservience canonically within the show, so it would be weird if she chained another soul to do her bidding. And Eve is easily the character that would have the most issues with the Morningstar family, heaven, and hell. She was made out of Adam's rib and given the apple by Lilith and Lucifer. She's been a pawn in other people's plans since the beginning. She's the one blamed for original sin and it's clear she's not in heaven. She was the scapegoat while Adam got off relatively Scott free.

She has so many reasons to want to get back at everyone and what better way to gradually gain a foothold without drawing attention to herself than enlisting the services of a sinner in hell?

It’s said that Alastor immediately started taking out overlords that had been dominant for centuries the moment he stepped foot in hell. There has to be a reason for that. It feels too calculated to be a coincidence.

Plus Lilith’s disappearance coinciding with the Alastor's isn’t necessarily a factor against this theory because it can be explained as Eve essentially throwing Alastor into a battle with Lilith where Alastor was injured and had to take time to recover.

His reaction when Zestial said people thought he had been struck down by holy arms was a bit telling to me. The way he took that moment to look away and collect himself to brush it off read as Zestial hitting too close to the mark.

He's super touchy about why he was gone for 7 years and we've seen that Alastor's berserk button is his pride and he dislikes his strength being questioned. He absolutely would not want to admit he was gone because he was recovering.

That comment seemed too pointed by the writers to be completely written off.

Maybe in this battle Eve got Lilith's soul. If she doesn’t why would Lilith be gone from Charlie’s life for seven years? Why wouldn't she return around the same time as Alastor? She seemed to really care about Charlie. Charlie still tries to call her and she doesn’t seem to hold any resentment toward Lilith, so I think there would have to be a reason beyond nebulous plans that's keeping her away.

Alastor also clearly does not have a good relationship to whoever has his soul, so I kind of imagine if it was Lilith he would be a bit more hostile towards Charlie or it would show a bit more in the moments where he was alone or when Charlie isn't looking. (Alastor is the only character this show is truly subtle with)

I just wanted to put my opinion out there because I've seen so many Lilith owns Alastor's soul theories out there and I wanted to offer a different angle.
