Aromantic Alastor - Tumblr Posts
Even though the aro part hasn't been confirmed in the show yet, Al is 100% at least somewhere on the aro spectrum. I personally think he's either fully aro or demiromantic. But-
If Alastor experiences some form of romantic attraction, he still despises talking about romance. It's not entertaining to him - when it's a healthy relationship it'll be the same general conversation; when it's an unhealthy one he'll think it's stupid because the solutions are either dump their ass or communicate and yet they do neither.
If he ever does get into a romantic relationship, he would never tell anybody because he would think it's boring conversation. Imagine one day his partner decides to visit him at the hotel and Charlie's just like "who are you? Are you here to check in!?" And they say "no...? I'm Alastor's partner. We've been together for years, he hasn't talked about me?" Charlie promptly yells at Al for not telling her because she's so happy for him, but he just felt like it didn't matter in conversation.

just created this creature i think im gonna turn him into a sticker
Can someone please make queerplatonic marriage be a thing?
Rosie and Alastor are married for literally every other reason except for them being romantically in love
Like they have a figurative list of reasons they’re married and being romantically in love is not on it
I know Valentine's Day was two days ago, but I have a slow brain okay.
Anyway, just like everyone else I just want to marvel at how perfect Alastor's Valentine's Day merch is.
Look at this, look at him. Everyone else's pinup was sexy and they had revealing outfits. But Alastor? Someone at this app said that he is a modern equivalent of a Victorian woman showing her ankle. I truly love it, he undone his bow tie and that's it, that's the most he's showing, his neck without a bow. He isn't even in any sexy pose either. He kinda looks as if he was laying on a couch and someone told him to pose.
And then his Valentine's card? It's not about love or anything like this, this is about friendship, about platonic love. It literally says 'On a day devoted to lovers I am glad to have you as a friend' and I'm over the moon with it.
As a fellow asexual I am beyond happy to see that none of Alastor's merch was romantic or sexual.
It means a lot to me and I just wanted to say it.
Hey! Radiorose fandom! Guess what I have? A fic about Alastor confessing to Rosie that he wants to be in a queerplatonic relationship with her. It’s very fluffy and a bit angsty:
They’re the kind of married couple who say that their marriage is for tax reasons, but really they’re just sick of people hitting on them and got married to avoid that
Rosie is that one meme with the army guy protecting the sleeping child. She’s protecting Al from the unwanted advances of lovey-dovey bullshit.

If you dig deep within your heart, you know what I’m saying is true!!!!💚🤍🩶🖤
Adding on to a previous post since I feel it's more appropriate to explain here. Warning it gets ranty
I feel a lot of people would miss these "this character is xyz" tweets and live streams. I mean Peridot having little to no sexual/romantic attraction didn't even cross my mind as a young kid or even when I got older. Her being aroace had to be pointed at to me by other YouTubers since I didn't have Twitter (not calling it "X") to see the tweet or the book alluding to her to be aroace. Also because her being aroace wouldn't automatically block off from fusion, since fusion represents varying relationships like toxic relationships, romantic, sexual, polyamorous, monogamous, platonic, and familial relationships. It seems weird to imply Peridot can't have strong platonic and familial just because she's aroace. That's an unfortunate stereotype that the Crewniverse fell into.
Also I won't even get into how Alastor's asexual/aroace identity was vaguely referenced by a joke that was very easy to miss.
Go watch this good video by The Ace Couple
And Octavia hardly contributed to Helluva Boss due to her being overshadowed by her neglectful father that sexually coercived a person with a poor education and a daughter, employees, and himself to financially provide for. I'll keep bringing up how terrible of a character Stolas is any chance I get lol But again a character being ace and or aro is an afterthought even to queer creators, but characters like Angel Dust, Fizz, Blitzø, Ozzie, and Stolas can mention how gay they are. There's nothing inherently wrong with sexual humor it is just that the writers of Hazbin and Helluva think overusing it is funny.
Full Moon was so bad for this 😭 Like making fun of sex toys by having the Cherubs think there torture devices isn't that funny and since they're intentionally or not making fun of people who use them. Like making fun of sex toys and BDSM is hardly funny anymore and really wasn't before at least in the ways some people did it so childishly. The people that participate in those things already get stigmatized enough, why is the show using it as a punchline??
It's just weird and kinda fetishy that the writers depict the prominent gay male characters in the show as extremely sexual people, while asexuals and aromantics can't even mention their orientation. The show uses the word gay or other similar words a good amount of times but only says ace ONCE in Hazbin Hotel that could easily go over someone's head. If people have to go looking for evidence and confirmation outside the show proper then that's not what I'd call good representation. What if platforms get taken down or the posts get removed for whatever reason, then that PROOF of the characters sexuality is gone.
Point is add more characters that are explicitly or heavily implied to be ace and or aro. This shouldn't be hard to make diverse characters important that are also their own person while not ignoring their sexual and romantic orientation. If a character can say they're gay/lesbian/bisexual etc. and like sex with pride, then why can't an ace/aro character.
Replaced the background of my favourite Alastor frame with an aroace flag and it looks hilarious I’m making it my pfp and calling it “aroace panik”
