...so how about that new episode huh (rant below for those who care to see my opinion on it):

honestly this episode was pretty solid. i really liked the song, i'm so glad to get a more broadway-style song after all the pop that we've been getting in recent times. i was also happy to see the dhorks and cherubs come back (fucking finally) also i'm happy that stolas clearly communicated his feelings, i was afraid he wouldnt say the "i want you to stay" part, but thankfully he did. good for him. um that said i'm seeing everyone going crazy over the "i didn't realize you thought so lowly of me" line and i'm just kinda sitting over here like <:) because like....... blitz was not wrong??? his perception is very much founded in reality, stolas has been consistently condescending towards him and the other imps. im pretty sure stolas is meant to be getting better in that area, but he hasn't really shown that to blitz so um. yeah. overall to nobody's surprise stolitz continues to be a trainwreck, but i'm tentatively happy to finally see some changes to the status quo, and my opinion of stolitz went from "UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" to "ok i'm kinda invested" so, hooray? still not back to the amount of investment i had before season 2, but it's something (also, i find it hilarious how fans immediately started taking sides. this is really just gomens s2 finale all over again)

so i found out that today's (? or yesterday's?) prompt for radiostatic week is "dancing", and i was like, "wait, i got a drawing of these two dancing", so i guess i'm finally posting this. i drew this back in march but never posted it bc i wanted to introduce swap!alastor's season 1 look before i start posting stuff of him with curly hair. the story here is that i subscribe to the "alastor's hair is naturally curly and he straightens it", and so at the beginning of season 2 in the veeswap au alastor starts wearing his natural hair! it takes him a bit to grow it back to this length, but yeah :]

[Image ID, copied from alt text: A digital drawing of my swap au versions of Alastor and Vox from Hazbin Hotel dancing. Alastor's hair is curly and pulled back into a ponytail. He wears a white dress shirt underneath a dark red vest with lighter red pinstripes, as well as a black and red bowtie, black pants with red cuffs, and black shoes with red tips. He also wears oval-shaped glasses, and his deer tail is visible. He is smiling somewhat mischievously at Vox. Vox wears a dark blue blazer with a matching fedora and pants. Underneath the blazer he wears a red argyle sweater, and a white dress shirt under that. He also has a cyan blue tie. His shoes are red hi-top Converse, but with the stars in the Converse logo upside down so that the logo resembles a pentagram. He is giddily smiling back at Alastor. Doodly musical notes surround them both. /end ID]

Thinking about @sparklingsora's VeeSwap AU...

Guys I think I'm a little obsessed with Halo's Charlie... 😨😳

I'm not completely sure but something about her AU design gives off a completely different vibe and personality while staying within the image of her canon design and makes me feel so happy and silly on the inside 🤗💞

I LOVE THE AU TOO!!! I need to know more about the Halos,,, howd they get together and what's Charlie doing after she got kicked out of heaven?? Are they business partners like the Vee's who run different industries and own a bunch of souls??? I would totally read a fic for this idea it's so cool... I might draw swap Velvette after this-

Are you planning on rewriting any of the Hazbin Hotel songs for the Veeswap AU?

i actually have already! i've written veeswap lyrics for ready for this, here they are:

[Vox] Have you ever wanted something that was so clear in your mind That you could taste it? [Susan] You mean like human flesh? [Vox] Eh, sort of? It's a feeling like a rumbling in your gut That you could finally be faced with A billion needy faces I guess what I mean to say is For the first time in my life I might have to be ready for this Ready to be the one who's leading from the front Gotta come into my own Gotta reap what I have sown Gotta take charge and defend my hellish home And although I kinda feel unsteady Now I need to be ready for this [Vox] Have you ever felt like you're willing to die To save the people of your city? [Susan] By die, do you mean use my teeth to rip flesh apart? [Vox] That's a start! 'Cause right now we need a leader And it seems to me that destiny has picked me To be that, if you'll permit me So who's with me? [Vox] Wouldn't it be super to see more of Hell? Join up now if you like travel Come on boys, hop in the saddle! Lot of sights to see en route to my hotel Not to mention the camaraderie Yes siree, you'll form life-changing friendships And become a tight-knit crew [Alastor] And feast on all the angels you can eat [Vox] That too! [Cannibals] (WOOO FREE FOOD) It's time now to act They're on the attack When they move to strike We will fight, biting back We'll follow your lead We're eager to feed We'll sharpen our teeth for the heavenly feast From this moment on, you can count on us To be resolute and ravenous Our appetites are whet and we're set to seize the day So I say, oh hey, come join the flesh buffet [Vox] Okay, can we save the bloodlust for the fight? [Rosie] Oh, don't be put off by their snarling That's enthusiasm, darling! [Vox] I just hope they’ll channel that excitement right… [Rosie] Oh Vox, don’t worry ‘bout a thing Keep singing! [Vox & Rosie] We're super duper grateful to have you join the fray! [Cannibals] We can't wait to taste an angel's wings! [Vox] Okay! For the first time in my life Maybe I can be ready for this I can be the marshal leading the parade I can come into my own And I think I've always known My destiny could never be postponed When Heaven brings the battle here I must appear like I'm ready for this [Rosie] They’re dancing along! They’re singing his song! [Alastor] Surprised? Why, I knew he could do it all along [Rosie & Alastor] With just some glitz and flair, they’re under his spell Truly, his charisma has no parallel [Alastor] He’s found his resolve, it’s a treat to see [Rosie] True, my friend! [Rosie & Alastor] In the end, he’ll lead us to victory! [Cannibals, Rosie & Alastor] For the first time in our lives We know that we are ready for this [Rosie] We'll show Heaven a fight they won't forget! [Cannibals, Rosie & Alastor] It is time to take a stand [Vox] It is time to lend a hand! [Cannibals] Huzzah! [Vox] Against the angels and their deadly threat [Cannibals, Rosie & Alastor] We cannot take it anymore The time has come to go to war Prepare to fight, we're ready for this [Vox] I really hope that I'm ready for this

What is your opinion on Valastor (Valentino x Alastor)?

well first of all, i see alastor as aroace, so i'm generally not a fan of any alastor ship (the only exception is radiostatic, though i generally prefer it as either one-sided on vox's part or the world's weirdest qpr) putting that aside though... in canon, i just don't see how valastor would work without significantly tweaking one or both of their personalities? i personally think val is the type of person that alastor prefers to stay far far away from. no offense to those who ship it, it's just not really my thing in the veeswap au though i'm more open to it. val and alastor's relationship is very different there, they're actually close friends and i enjoy their dynamic. i like to joke that al is an honourary member of the vee polycule because he's very close with all three of them. but regardless, val and al's relationship in the veeswap au is purely platonic because of the aforementioned me seeing al as aroace

[sparklingsora]

is there a master/explanation post for the veeswap au? i see people talking about it but i have no idea what it is-

hi! i dont have a masterpost (though i might eventually make one), but i do have some explanation posts: the very first post about the au (has some character designs as well as an explanation of the basic concept of the au), this ask (has a list of who swaps with who), as well as this ask where i talk about character backstories in more detail. for more info you can look through my veeswap au tag, which has art i've made for the au as well as other asks i've answered about it :)

[sparklingsora]

For the VeeSwap AU: How do the songs "More Than Anything" and "More Than Anything (Reprise)" go?

they dont LOL i really cant see vox and adam (and lute possibly? im still on the fence about whether i want her there in ep 5) singing that kind of song, i think their reconciliation is just dialogue in the au, or at least a different song while more than anything (reprise)... you know actually maybe it happens? but its moreso vox and velvette mutually reassuring each other rather than just velvette comforting vox. because they're both rly worried about the battle and stuff. overall in the swap au vox and velvette are more like equal protagonists rather than having one be the protag with the other supporting them

sofia the first and hazbin hotel is a odd combo of fandom content but I'm here for it (princess kids show and gorey hell show)

HELL YEAH!!! my interests are all over the place 😎😎😎

[sparklingsora]

weeee cedric weeheeeeeeeeeeeeee

[sparklingsora]

yeah

[sparklingsora]

Hello!! Your SWAP AU is sooooo cool! I love it so much!! I was wondering whether we could see .are interactions between your Swap!Husk and Swap!Alastor. I'd imagine that they have a kinda strained relationship considering how much Al hates the idea of being "on a leash."

hello!! thank you, i'm glad you're enjoying the au :D yeah al is basically constantly seething because he hates being under someone's thumb SOOOO much. he avoids husk as much as he can, which is not much because husk spends a lot of time at the bar and his favourite hobby is getting on alastor's nerves.

me omw to make the sappiest most tooth-rotting fluff for the most toxic villain ship on earth (for staticmoth week day 4 - stargazing)

[sparklingsora]

While we're on the subject of veeswap relationships, what're Vox and Val like, as a couple and a pair?

this ask has been sitting in my inbox for a while because ive just been trying to put it into words but its. so hard. look. theyre Silly. thats all i have to tell you. like in my mind, i have a single concept that connects each of the polyvees duos: for staticdoll its business, for mothdoll its fashion, and for staticmoth its genuinely just. Dumbassery. THEYRE SILLY GOOFY to illustrate it, have this dialogue i wrote down a while back. i wanted to make it into a comic but that might take a little while so you can have the raw dialogue now idc

(if youre confused about that first line, look up shaggy dog stories. theyre swap!vox's specialty in terms of humour)

[sparklingsora]

Hi! So I was wondering what Swap!AngelDust and Swap!Val's relationship is like? For example, does Angel do the whole 'I own you, you do what I say!' or is it toned down?

-Aud

yeaaah as i've mentioned in a previous ask, swap!angel isn't much better than canon!val. i like to think he doesn't sa his thralls, because although this is a villainous version of him, it still feels wrong to make any version of angel a perpetrator of that kind of stuff. but he still abuses his employees physically and financially, and is generally a controlling asshole much like canon!val

i really love @greykolla-art's artstyle, so i wanted to try imitating it! i picked barnaby and fantoccio from billie bust up as my subjects :) the coloured lineart looks quite strange because black lineart is such a huge part of the signature look of grey's art, but barnaby looks weird with black lineart LOL
