WIP WEDNESDAY

I’ve been tagged to do WIP Wednesday before, but I’m only just now getting to it 😅

So! Here’s the first 2 pages to a 5-page comic. Points to anyone who guesses what’s going on.

[blue-rose-soul]

Alastor's stubbornness seems to be his worst trait in the Devil's Bastard AU. Man's playing right into the Vee's hands by fighting every schmuck that challenges him each time he leaves the hotel for a break errands. (Not to mention the angelic wound he's concealing.)

He's getting tired, and chaffing under everyone's attention. I think it would only be a matter of time before Alastor's frustration overshadowed his self preservation and he physically lashed out at Lucifer. Not that he could hurt him, but Lucifer probably wouldn't retaliate at this point. Which is almost more insulting when viewed through Al's fried mental state.

Might as well be chumming the water with that kind of conflict.

To be fair, it's also his worst trait in canon. Along with his pride. And his need to be the center of attention. And the sadism. And the cannibalism. And-

What were we talking about again?

Speaking of chum, when Vox finally does corner Alastor, he's all too happy to gloat about how Alastor has no one but himself to blame for his current miserable circumstances. He makes sure to hammer in that Alastor wouldn't be wounded and powerless and defenseless if he had accepted Vox's offer all those years ago instead of insisting on going it alone (never mind the fact that Alastor was already a powerful Overlord before Vox even died). He's very heavy handed.

Needing to be rescued by Lucifer only further drives salt into the wounds.

How does Heaven react once the news of Alastor being Lucifer's son gets out in The Devil's Bastard AU and the Raised Together/Kid!Alastor branches? They certainly won't be happy that Lucifer has been going to earth in secret. Given Alastor isn't Hellborn I could also see them arguing for him to be killed or sealed in some way. "Nephilim of his sort were wiped out for a reason after all, right?"

Weeping, I started to answer this then accidentally refreshed the page and lost everything I'd typed. Lemme see if I can remember all my thoughts...

Their first major concern would not be Alastor himself. Not that another branch of the Morningstar bloodline isn't cause for alarm, but with Charlie as a precedent and Alastor's carnage restricted to Hell itself, he's a secondary concern to Hell's leadership. Their primary concern surrounds the fact that Lucifer broke the terms of his banishment and left Hell an unknown number of times without them being aware. While they watched him closely in the beginning of Hell, fearing he would attempt to retaliate against Heaven, in the three hundred thousand years since his Fall* they've clearly grown complacent. They're fearful of what kind of evil he may have sown on Earth, or if he's created any more yet undiscovered offspring who may be corrupting mortal souls. Could Lucifer's visits to the living world be the reason Earth is in such a miserable state?

(It's not, but of course they'd like an easy answer, one little problem they can snuff out that will fix everything forever.)

Sera orders Lucifer to meet with her in the Heaven Embassy and she brings along a couple of archangels* as backup to ensure he doesn't try anything. She wants Lucifer on the defensive. Lucifer does have some leverage though thanks to Adam's pettiness. For one, Heaven promising not to touch hellborn wasn't dependent on Lucifer adhering to his banishment. The exterminations came a long, long time after the Fall. Even if it was though, no one in Heaven, least of all Adam, even knew about Lucifer's excursions until after the final extermination. Adam knowingly choosing to target Charlie - not just a random hellborn but Lucifer's daughter who had absolutely zero ill will towards Heaven and only wanted to protect sinners - out of nothing more than malicious spite, gives Lucifer a leg to stand on when it comes to negotiating with Sera. She knew what Adam intended to do because he'd declared his intention to Charlie in front of Heaven's court, but she did nothing to stop him. On top of which, Sera also can't provide any evidence of Lucifer leading humans towards evil acts on Earth because he never did anything like that. Even in the rare cases of cults forming to worship him, they were done independently by humans who had no idea what Lucifer was really like and Lucifer himself had no contact with them. In other words, Sera in breaking her word to Lucifer caused more harm to him and his than Lucifer did to her and hers in breaking his banishment.

In the end, Lucifer is able to get Heaven to back down from trying to imprison him or Alastor. He agrees to increased surveillance - he hasn't gone back to Earth since his meeting with Nicaise anyway - and calls an end to the meeting.

And then as soon as he sets foot through the front doors of the hotel he promptly passes out from the stress overload.

(*Early modern humans started out in Africa approximately 300,000 years ago, so I'm timing Lucifer's Fall to align with that.)

(*I was going to say Michael at first since he seems like a popular Bible character to adapt into Hazbin Hotel fanon, but with him supposedly being the leader of Heaven's armies, I feel like he clashes with Adam as the leader of the exorcists. So now I have this headcanon that after Lucifer's banishment, Michael fell into a depression of his own. He spiraled deeper and deeper until ultimately he retired from his position which was then passed to Adam.)

Obsession AU! Alastor with an alternate pink-ish version (because I'm indecisive and colors will just always evade me)!

More info is below!

So I realized that while the AU is all about Alastor, I never actually talked about how Alastor is in the AU! I've done a bit of a redesign for his character, though nothing too huge. I wasn't intending on a full redesign

So to start with some items he just has, there are really only two additions: A pocketbook and a watch! The pocketbook was initially used to write down notes and thoughts on the fly for his radio show! He still uses it for that occasionally, but it's turned primarily into a journal detailing his experience with the curse. It's where he keeps his own thoughts about what occurs around or to him there, his plans for the day, and the habits (and schedule) others may follow. It's how he best keeps on top of his suitor's antics and best prepares to deal with them These habits may have a consistent time of occurring (such as Angel and Husk waiting until night to drug Alastor or Rosie only trying to drug him during lunch). Both these timed occurrences and the more "general/can happen whenever" occurrences are noted down on each suitor's personal pages to keep track of what they do. These people he notes the habits of are people he spends his time often around and needs to be wary of. (i.e. there's a page or two specifically detailing Angel's habits, and the same with Husk, Niffry, Charlie, Rosie, etc.)

Alastor's new pocket watch helps him keep up with the time to follow other's movements and track how long events may occur between one another and the general time. This was in part due to being unable to keep track of time during his time with Vox, so he developed a habit of frequently checking it. He never leaves without it and feels the most comfortable keeping track of the time and passing of it, down to the second. The engraving on the watch is the symbol for New Orleans as a reminder of his home, and the inside has details for that of deer antlers! I would've put some voodoo symbols but uh, that's a touchy subject currently so thought it best to scrap the idea. The unofficial motto of "Laissez les bons temps rouler" for New Orleans meaning "let the good times roll" is engraved on the back of the watch.

Now to his sorta "injuries". To start from oldest to newest, Alastor was branded on the tongue during his brief time with Vox! This idea I nicked from this comic by zx12mn34 on Twitter & PostType. (Which, fun fact, if I remember right, these two comics are also what led to the idea of the Obsession AU and another MUCH darker "Unwilling Bride" AU!) So credit where credit is due there!

Alastor's right ear can no longer stand up straight! If he's surprised it may pick up, but the tip will remain crooked!

This occurred by his soul owner, not long after his time with Vox!

In a less visual sense and given by an anon, Alastor has damage to his stomach lining! It's only to the point of affecting his diet with spicy or spiced meals, so he's had to suffer eating more bland items for his taste.

Finally the fimble! Due to a close call with one of Vaggie's traps, he scathed out with only a lost finger in the end! He's since put a fimble on it to have something there. He's decorated it with his own bit of flare because a boring old fimble would be boring! "ALWAYS SMILE" is on the rim of the fimble with a fun smiley face on what would be his nail. It's a bit scratched from his fidgeting and he'll sometimes keep something to doodle symbols on it, but only the smiley face and words actually stay on it!

Alastor is a lot more tired in this AU, and contrary to his canon counterpart, isn't as big of a fan for attention. He still carries himself with a strong sense of confidence and elegance, but is much more wary of others'. He will genuinely treat others more as a serious threat, Vox being someone he often gets quiet about due to his betrayal. Alastor has adjusted in the 90 or so years to live with this curse and will use it to his advantage whenever possible. This will be done in various ways like pitting suitors against one another or getting what he wants when threat and violence don't offer the desired effect:

Flirting isn't his preferred method of course but is what he does when there's no other option or when the suitor he's interacting with might be more dangerous or needs to remain on their good side. It's a tactic he will occasionally use with Charlie, Vaggie, and Lucifer, but only if they're really not budging on a request he has.

Alastor still keeps his presentation relatively tidy, so his hair is still neat and his outfit pristine. He wants to keep that look of control, so he does so via his faux appearance. However, he's pretty high-strung due to the constant stress and harassment he endures in everyday life. More prone to anxiety, even more trust issues than in canon, and more adverse to touch. Alastor avoids getting into other people's personal space in this AU and even wears gloves that are comedically identical to his own hands (which kinda still unclear if that's canon or not with the glove things, but for this AU it is). Alastor is more affected by certain things and, I guess you could say can get triggered by things that remind him of certain events (like his time with Vox or Rosie). While he isn't fragile like glass, he's got a pretty thick skin given the situation he has, Alastor certainly has more moments of weakness. In those moments he may let others do whatever to him because of just being exhausted and not wanting to think. This includes Angel drugging him, Vaggie dressing him, and Charlie or Lucifer getting cuddly among others.

Currently in the story, his most "trusted companions" are his shadows and Keekee (due to disliking him).

Alastor Morningstar: Master of ignoring Unpleasant Truths! The Devil is his father? Unimportant. His mother has forgotten him/is an exorcist and he directly or indirectly killed her? Don't know what you're talking about! Open wound bleeding out on the carpet? No it isn't. (Blood squirt).

How to maintain perfect control of any situation you happen to find yourself in: pretend like the shit you can't control doesn't exist and doesn't matter.
