TW: period-typical racist attitudes

-

I'm tired of "victim" of racism Alastor. I want to see more of him in all his flaws. Give me "victim and perpetrator" of racism Alastor:

• Being creole and looking mostly white, he gets a lot more leeway with Louisiana folk and that makes him cocky

• He grows up with privledges that darker skinned folk don't get and suddenly that means he's special and better than them

• He starts hanging out with all these white folk and other white-passing creole people and he starts to believe half the things they say about people of color

• (Of course, his mama's still one of the good ones)

• He gets unreasonably offended and defensive anytime someone calls him out for what he is, whether its by other racists clocking him as Not White or people calling him out for his racist attitudes when he's one of them

• He takes pride in his ability to blend in with the white folk, yet simultaneously hates the fact he looks nothing like his mother and everything like his father

• The reason he starts learning to do a radio accent is so he can sound more white. It makes him seem even stranger to most white-folk until he actually becomes a radio host and then its just a symptom of his career

• He lies. He takes pride in his relationship with his mother and her religious practices, but he still lies about her. His mother isn't of color, she isn't a homewrecker, she's a good, christian woman, his father wanted him, yes, they're both white, his mother's Italian, not creole, he's not creole.

• He straightens his hair to look more white (not because he's scared of being seen, not because he hates the reminder of what his mother would think of him now)

• Statistically speaking, murderers tend to keep it within their own race (maybe he kills white people in his own sick way of saying "I'm one of you too!" Maybe he kills other people like him because he hates that reminder and deep down he knows)

He's a sick freak wearing a Normal Man costume and I want see him portrayed as such.

Chapter 83 of WHAT A SOUL CAN ACCOMPLISH is posted 💜🎉😎

It would be so funny if radioapple was canon and then we meet alastor's mom

Because imagine this scenario. You are Mama Al. You're a good Christian woman and you love your son with all your heart and firmly believe he's a good person(even if he does have trouble with the ladies)

Then you die and get sent to heaven. And You're waiting for your son. In fact, you're happy to, the longer you wait means that he had a good long life.

Until nearly a century passes and you have to give up the ghost and ask that nice young woman Emily and confirm what you'd been fearing for the last 30 years. Your sweet little baby is in HELL of all places, and he got there relatively soon after you got to heaven

And it breaks your heart, but you have to know why. why that sweet little baby that loved catching and brining home frogs went to hell. and it breaks your heart. so much death, so much PAIN. and all at the hand of your little boy. And he KEPT doing it in hell, to the point that he's one of the scariest things down there, and it's not like there's a shortage of scary evil things there. Oh you just wish you could give him such a talking to.

and then canon happens and visitors from heaven are allowed to go down as long as it's to encourage people to redeem themselves. Now's your chance! you hop on down and you walk up those hotel steps about to tan your little boy's backside for all the lying and suffering he caused

and you find him cuddled up with THE DEVIL. The actual fallen angel Lucifer, and your little boy is ENGAGED TO HIM!!!??? and they're raising the antichrist together???!!!(sweet girl, honestly, if there's one bright spot to the situation, she's really a perfectly lovely granddaughter)

Then you find out the devil is a total sweetheart. and you have to wonder what went wrong. How do you fuck up a child so bad that marrying the actual biblical devil is the goodest thing he's ever done?

Alastor has a photo of his mother, even in Hell.

Headcannon that Alastor keeps a photo of his mother somewhere in his room, or wherever he sleeps when he needs to. Anytime he ever sleeps (which is rarely), he keeps the photo very close to him, and he would go livid if anything ever happens to the picture, (similar to that comic 'A prank too far' when Alastor pretended to eat Fat Nuggets, Angel's pig) but he would go 10x more berserk over it.

What’s Husk relationship with Alastor’s mom? He seems to not like her in the same way that he didn’t like Mimzy

Well... He knows what is she, but he likes her more than Mimzy. At least he knows that she's not using Alastor for power and doesn't bring troubles with her all the time

She's still a kind woman, just little bit fucked up and is supportive of her psychopath son. She's kind to people she knows, this includes Husk and Niffty (and the Hotel gang now too)

btw, Anna (Al's mom) doesn't like Mimzy too. For same reasons as Husk.

[shootinwebs]

headcanon that the reason alastor protected wooly (sheep woman) in the canon webcomic thing was equal parts because she didn't stand a chance, and equal parts because she looked like his mom, who also had a small stature and was generally meek

The Radio Angel Chapter Two

Here's the sketches (they are technically sketches; I'm not trying to downplay them ^^') and follow these links to read it!!!!!

Read on AO3

Read on Tumblr

Behold I finally get to show off my angel designs for Molly and Alastor's Maman! (Don't worry, they're not generic sweet little dumplings just because they're angels... y'all have met other angel characters in canon, right?)

[that-hazbin]

I often think about a What If scenario in which Alastor's mother was actually just. Not a good mom. I don't mean in a "she's evil" sense or anything, I just mean it in a "she didn't want children" sense. Or at least, not children with Alastor's father.

I like to think about Alastor's mother doing her best, but her best isn't good enough because 1, this wasn't the life she wanted, and 2, her child's face reminds her of a man she hates. As a consequence, she doesn't actually love Alastor, and feels guilty about it.

Meanwhile, Alastor grows to understand his mother doesn't love him, but he still loves her because she stuck around anyways. Sure, she can't look him in the eyes, but she's still around, still feeding him, sewing patches into his clothes, teaching him life lessons. And most of all, she doesn't physically harm him, which isn't something he can say about his father.

Of course, the lack of love from both of his parents still does a lot of psychological harm that he's just not aware of.

(re)design trivia: Alastor's mom

her name is Matilda, and Alastor looks a lot like mom

french creole; white enough not to be subject to Jim Crow laws

below-the-knee skirt, what a shame!

adores red color so much

comfortable leather shoes

jewelry which looks like hunting trophies

the fact that this lady gave birth to Alastor is just a small part of her biography lmao

ran away from home at sixteen with half-black musician, wasn't married and gave birth out of wedlock, — no one would have registered interracial marriage in 1890-1900s,— supported suffragettes, went to jail for a while once (for handing out leaflets), worked as a gigolette for two years, taught son to dance and speak louisiana french, died during spanish flu epidemic, dwells in Eden

neither gentle nor defenseless; smoked, cussed, knew how to stand up for herself, loved son very much

Alastor, my moon and star, why the hell did I carry you for nine months you little dumb fawn

I stayed up until 4am the other night doing research for the human alastor fic that I've been talking about but still have yet to start on (I have a couple snippets but nothing in order yet) and now I have over a century worth in backstory for his mother's side of the family (don't worry, his father's side has done backstory as well).

So here's the timeline and general facts about his family tree in my au:

• We'll start with Hestia: Her mother, Edel was Afro-Hatian. Her side of the family fled Haiti in 1790, just before slavery was abolished. The family is full of passed down stories and this is one of them.

• An indigenous Hatian woman fell in love with a slave and they decided to run away together. They escaped just long enough for them to have several children together, but were discovered eventually and were chased out. The indigenous woman escaped overseas with her children, while the runaway slave was killed in the skirmish. Classic love story for the kids, but also a family reminder for them to be careful because of the way society treats people like them at the time.

• This Afro-Haitian family spends the early 1800's being harassed so often, they have to carry freedom papers everywhere they go. This ends up not being enough when Hestia's direct relative becomes re-enslaved regardless of their freedom papers.

• Edel, Hestia's mother, is born in 1964 and escapes slavery around 1970 with her own mother who dies shortly thereafter.

• Hestia's first daughter, Adeline's name is vaguely inspired from Edel.

• Hestia's father's name is Alastor. He dies shortly before Alastor was born and is where he got his name from.

• Alastor (the first) had a father who escaped slavery in 1963, just before slavery was abolished and hid out within the Houma tribe in what is now Baton Rougue.

• Alastor's father married into the Houma tribe and had Alastor in 1965.

• Alastor's first language was French and he lived with his father in the Houma tribe, but decided to leave after he met and fell in love with Edel. They have Hestia in 1980, when he is 15 and Edel is 16 and get married the year after she is born.

• Edel dies in 1890 at 26 years old when Hestia is only 10, but not without leaving her with a wealth of knowledge in both local and Haitian voodoo practices.

• Alastor never remarries, but decides to continue on with Edel's legacy by teaching Hestia everything he knows about both his late wife's and his parent's spirituality.

• Hestia marries Pius in 1900 (we'll get to him in a second) and her father is very cross about her (illegally) marrying a white man, but puts up with it since she's the only family he has left and because Pius has wholeheartedly dived right into their culture, even having voodoo traditions performed at their wedding and happily trying her recipes, despite them being out of his comfort zone.

• Alastor dies in 1905 at 40, just a few months before Alastor was born.

•Pius' family is a bit less lengthy, but just as complicated.

•Pius comes from a Catholic Irish family, and a very strict one at that!

• He has an older sister and a nephew. The nephew is a bit off his rocker. Enough that people avoid him and consider him dangerous company, but not enough to warrant a visit to the looney bin.

• The older sister is bullheaded when it comes to a lot of things, but not so much when it comes to protecting her younger brother or the things he cares about. She doesn't say anything when he's persecuted for being friends with a queer or for marrying a colored woman. He resents her for it.

• In 1890, when Pius is 16 he falls in love with the altar boy at his church. They get together in secret, but the altar boy is outed as queer and imprisoned for it. Pius openly opposed it and left the church over the issue, even going so far as to cut off his family due to their arguments about the issue.

• In 1895, he meets Hestia and they start dating. As part of his distancing himself from the church and his own roots, he insists on following her traditions and is very supportive of her.

• They get married in 1900 and are a super happy and healthy family, until their 2nd daughter dies and neither of them really know how to cope with that.

Anyways! That's the backstory on his parents that I spent forever working on!

[bananadramaaa]

I really like your art and your way of thinking about what Alastor's family and the duo of assassins would be like when they were human, it's a shame that the creator of Habzin Hotel doesn't explore this part much. Throughout your AU I had some questions, if you don't mind asking, are you going to delve deeper into Alastor's family history? Or even Mimzy's? Just my curiosity, hehe. I wonder what his sisters' lives were like, or even how his parents came to meet. But as I said, it's just curiosity, you don't have to answer if you don't want to, sorry if I seemed rude. Have a good afternoon! :)

I'm still hopeful that we'll get more Al and Mimzy interactions! After all 4 seasons are waiting XD

That's ok to ask these questions. That means that you're interested in my AU which is really flattering. The only problem is that I don't have enough time to draw everything I planned. I wanna dive deeper into the story of Al's family since these characters caught people's interest. The same applies to my headcanons of Mimzy's past (I briefly wrote about it in this ask). I'm currently working on a few comics. The first ones are episodes of besties' first murders. The other comic in the work is an episode with Al's family (dad's death).

I'm planning to write a separate post about Alastor's sisters' lives after their parents' death. It's gonna be a long one 😅 So stay tuned for that.

The story of their parents' first meeting though. Their father (Jean-Marie Beaupré) was a 25-year-old musician, an immigrant from Europe. After cutting ties with his parents, he traveled to America in search of a new life and opportunities. He was able to find a job as a court musician (a violinist) for a wealthy family. Their mother (Eugénie) also served there as a governess and kid's nanny. She was 21 at that time.

Eugénie was drawn to the moody, brooding musician for some reason (maybe she wanted her life to be like a romance novel she secretly read). In short, she initiated the first conversation with him. In turn, JM was fascinated by the young lady's optimism and her ability to see the good even where it seemed to him everything was meaningless. After a series of secret meetings and quiet conversations in the garden, they began to fall for each other.

OKAY OKAY OKAY OKAY

IMAGINE IF AT THE END OF SEASON 2, WE GET LIKE A SCENE, LIKE, UH

OKAY IMAGINE THIS (also, excuse my horrible writing skills. please):

Sir Pentious was strolling around Heaven, only to spot a woman of a slightly small stature, adorned with black, curly hair, sitting on a bench close to the Heavenly Gates.

“Hello, my dear!” Sir Pentious smiled. “May I sssit here?”

“Oh my! Such good manners you have!” She smiled at the kind snake. “Of course you may sit here, kind sir!”

Sir Pentious grinned. “Why thank you, my dear! For the compliment, and the approval!” Sir Pentious sat down next to the woman.

A few moments of silence passed.

“May I asssk what you are doing here?” Sir Pentious asked.

The woman gently smiled, “Every now and then, the gates will open, revealing a newly dead person, seeing their wonderful, eternal home for the first time.” She put her hands together and beamed. “I love seeing their awestruck faces.” 

Her face turned into a bit of a solemn expression. “And I’m waiting for someone important to me. I don’t know how long I’ve been waiting… But I know he will come soon.” She said, her eyes starting to water. 

“Oh, don’t cry, my dear!” Sir Pentious frowned and wiped the woman’s tears away. 

“I’m fine, my kind sir.” The woman smiled, tears continuing to run down her face. She turned to Sir Pentious with an empathetic expression. “Remember to smile, my friend!” She said, her fingers pointing to the edges of her upturned lips. “You’re never fully dressed without one!”

Sir Pentious chuckled at what the woman did.

“That’s the spirit, my friend!”

The two laughed together for a few seconds, only for the silence to fall upon them again.

Sir Pentious turned to face the woman with a curious expression. “I’m sssorry to asssk… but… who are you waiting for, my dear?”

The woman wiped her tears again, “Oh, I’m waiting for my wonderful son…”

“Alastor.”

I WOULD FREAKING SCREAM.

Also please oh please don’t judge my writing skills I hate it but I conveyed my message okay-ish methinks AUGHHHHHHHH.

[the-radio-demon-blog]

What if I told you I fucked your mom

Hmmm...what a vulgar question! Hah!

I would chain you down and peel your skin bit by bit until you begged for death. And even then I wouldn't have an ounce of mercy, I'd pick away for years upon end until you were nothing but pearly bones.

Then I'd sell your bones to the hellhounds for their pups to gnaw on.

Do not touch my mother, you imbecile.
