Oh, it was funny last night.
So, my nana was watching the new season of Heartstopper. I watched it the day it came out, but she always waits until Iâm visiting her to watch shows we both like.
Anyway, we were maybe 2/3 into the new season when Nana said, âYou know who Charlie reminds me of? Merlin.â
Nana is thinking like someone in fandom circles without ever being in the fandom circles.
#obvi I was like well ya know Nana#youâre not the only one#if anything Nick just doesnât remind me of Arthur#but Charlie I see when people compare the ships#des says stuff

I Keep Thinking Back To This
Instead of immediately going to make Vaggie Charlie's girlfriend she stayed a friend and she ended up getting with Emily. Seriously, at this point Charlie has more chemistry with other characters than her goddamn love interest. You know it's funny the fact that people have issues when it's a male x female canon relationship that has no chemistry they call it a result forced so-called heterosexism but ignore it when it comes to canon LGBT couples. The problem isn't hetereosexuality, but the fact people forget to put chemistry in a relationship and assume it will wow an audience.
Seriously, people were saying that it was heteronormality the reason why people shipped Charlastor over Chaggie, but then Emily happened and it showed no it ain't being homophobic but the fact that the canon relationship has no chemistry written. You don't feel like their relationship is alive compared to how she interacts with Alastor and Emily. And I don't care how much the narrative tries to push the Alastor tries to be her daddy, because that just makes even more shippers.
I kind of now wish that kept Vaggie and Charlie as friends then introduce Emily in the first episodes as an ambassador from heaven who is at first infatuated with Charlie and wants to see her mission succeed. Like again she learns more about what is going on in hell and believes in Charlie's mission to make it better. Seriously, I don't know when Emily was created but this was a missed opportunity.

Love and relationships in Hazbin Hotel
Episode 7 has something interesting and in the song that is called "Out for love" is sung by a character that is referring to a type of love different from a romantic or sexual one, Carmilla is openly talking about familial love. Vaggie of course relates this to her romantic feelings towards Charlie and how she wants to help her. But something else interesting happens in episode 7, Rosie is properly introduced as Alastor's bestie. This leads to showing another type of love: platonic love.
Now to the main point of this post: Alastor. It's canon that he is aroace and as an ace myself (I'm still questioning whether I'm aromantic or demiromantic but this post isn't about me lol) I'm extremely happy to see myself through him. Plus, the fact that the perfect Tumblr sexyman is aroace is genius and hilarious, you can't possibly top this type of humor.
Alastor for me has been a great ace representation and I've seen myself mainly in how he acts around his friends or other people.
When it comes to Niffty it looks more like a relationship between someone with their feral cat or their crazy little sister. But it's still a genuine connection and a fun chaotic one at that, he even lets her touch his hair and climb on him. In regards to Mimzy, he has shown he cares about her and welcomes her with open arms. He openly hugs her, which shocks everyone in the cast. This is extremely important because Alastor usually only starts physical contact to mock others or to pretend physical closeness as a manipulation tactic (like he often does with Charlie). When it comes to people he hates Alastor may touch them but will quickly wipe his hand on his clothes, like what he did with Lucifer. Personally, I don't like personal contact and only accept it if I start it and usually I use it as a way to show affection with close friends. Also, they have known each other since they were alive, so Mimzy probably knows a lot about Alastor that the rest of the cast doesn't. Mimzy also says that they used to dance together. But that doesn't exclude the fact that she uses Alastor's friendship and affection to save her own ass and taking into account how Husk reacted to Mimzy, this isn't the first time she does this. Also, the relationship between the two starts to crumble after what happened in episode 6 and Mimzy seems to be the kind of friend who will pretend that they are still on good terms and still ask Alastor for favors in the future.
Now jumping back to Alastor's true bestie: Rosie. They probably bonded at first over their cannibalistic natures but it's clear that it evolved beyond that. Personally, I don't ship Alastor with anyone, but when it comes to Rosie I headcanon they are in a QPR.
There are various reasons why this relationship is so great and wholesome, the first one being that there is no power imbalance, they are equals. Both are cannibalistic overlords and are on equal footing in terms of power. When Rosie first sees Alastor she is genuinely happy which is something new because most people react badly to him out of fear or hatred.
Alastor respects Rosie, he even compliments her, in her introduction he says she is "the most darling, delightful, and dangerous Overlord of this side of the pentagram". Considering how self-centered and narcissistic he can be, it means a lot. Alastor would rather die again than compliment another Overlord who isn't Zestial, which he respects but out of fear. Alastor respects Rosie as his close friend. When they stand next to each other they give an air of equals, something that never happens thanks to Alastor's ego and sadism towering over everyone else. With Rosie it's different and Rosie can openly tease Alastor with the "Look at you, so polite! Alastor you can learn a thing or two" when comparing him to Charlie when meeting her, or "I'm just kidding, I know you're an ace in the hole" to tease him about his asexuality. This is something that not a lot of people can do because Alastor is obsessed with control and respect. After all, we see how badly he reacted when Husk insulted him.
He also harmonizes with her, he willingly makes a duet with her in "Ready for this". He isn't interrupting her, instead, he agrees with her and they sing together in unison. This is the first time he doesn't openly hijack a song or fight for control over it, like he did with Vox and Lucifer (although this also happened because this is Charlie's song, but who cares the point still stands). Also, this is the first time we see him dance with someone, instead of forcing them to join his musical number (like he does with Charlie on various occasions). Alastor and Rosie are in perfect sync and it's so wholesome and precious to see him being so openly happy with her. Many have pointed out that the only times Alastor is genuinely smiling is when he is with Rosie and it shows by his expression in his eyes.
Finally, Rosie is the only one capable of bringing the most human emotions out of him, the most obvious one being confusion. In the scene of "ace in the hole" Rosie manages to confuse and surprise Alastor for a solid second, which is a huge change of his persona around everyone else of control and manipulation. Also, it's hilarious that Alastor doesn't know what being aroace is, he probably thinks he is above all that.
He is openly relaxed around Rosie and lets her touch him in an affectionate way, something that not even Mimzy can do. It may be because of the height difference but Mimzy only touches Alastor to hug him and to emphasize he is a "heartless son of a bitch" and Alastor clearly gets irritated by her touching him that way and even moves her finger away from him. This never happens with Rosie and he even welcomes her touching him by not having any walls with her. It's Rosie the one starting the physical contact and Alastor doesn't seem to mind and he never tries to use physical contact to take advantage of her like he does with other characters. Rosie is one of the few people who can touch Alastor without losing an arm and instead have a positive reaction out of him.
The most genuine relationship Alastor has is with Rosie, he even has the confidence and comfort to stop his elegant and reserved persona of not swearing. Which he only does when he is truly angry, like what happened with Lucifer. Or when he is threatening someone like he did with Adam. Or when he is shocked when his microphone breaks. He swears to insult Susan, which is someone they both despise equally. Something that you would only do with your closest bestie.
Finally, let's talk about Alastor's breakdown in the last episode. We've already seen that Alastor is capable of having friendships that aren't based on an end goal. Alastor knows this but he rejects it because he is at the hotel originally for selfish goals and doesn't want his emotions to get in the way. He is terrified of ruining his reputation as a sadistic killer and becoming an altruistic who cares about his friends. Alastor wants to stop himself from starting to care about the crew the same way he cares about Rosie, Mimzy, or Nifty to some degree. This is confirmed by his conversation with Niffty, where he admits he has grown accustomed to the main crew and perhaps he is growing feelings of affection towards them in his own way.
In regards to shipping him with Rosie, I see it as a platonic ship or a QPR. Some people have a headcanon that if they had known each other when they were alive they would have married for tax benefits and to avoid the social stigma, which is the only right answer. When they first met in hell they probably had dates in cannibal town where they ate human flesh while gossiping and trash-talked about the other overlords. Which is exactly what an ace person like myself wants from a close friendship.
As an ace, I really like Alastor not because he is the ultimate Tumblr sexyman or see him as hot but because he is an extremely fun character that I can relate to. I'm grateful for the crew and VA that take into account he is aroace and take seriously that aspect of his character. I don't mind that the aroace representation in Hazbn Hotel is a narcissistic psychopath, if you want a more wholesome ace representation you can check Todd in Bojack Horseman or Saiki in The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.
I don't mind people shipping Alastor, after all, it's just people having fun, but you can't ignore that he is aroace and how this affects his relationships. So yeah have fun and respect and aroace community :)
ok thanks for hearing my rant bye

Ganna rant about Episode 4 of Hazbin again. For starters it has the same issue that Seeing Stars did for Helluva boss, that being Loona giving Octavia advice in comparison to Husk giving Angel advice. While the characters situations are different, both Loona and Husk were the wrong characters to pick to give advice, or simply just comfort the other character. Iâve already seen some people say that Charlie or Vaggie should have been the one to cheer Angel up, and that would have made more sense. Theyâve known him longer and itâs in character for them to do that. For it to be Husk, not only does it feel forced as an excuse to just hook Angel up with a boyfriend and get the shipping fuel going, but it doesnât make sense narratively.
In Loonaâs case, her situation was flawed because she just MET Octavia, didnât know a thing about her struggles and spouts to her about how she should be thankful just because her dad is âtryingâ, and the show tries comparing both girlâs situations when theyâre not the same. This is practically the same situation with Angel and Husk. While Husk is aware of Angel, he barley knows him. He hasnât been at the hotel that long considering the pilot took place only a week ago. On screen, all that Husk knew about Angel was that he was a porn star who constantly flirts with everyone, him especially, and we as the audience only see that and only that when the two interact. However episode 4 claims that Husk can see right through him and know that this is all part of his persona that he displays. If we had more time with these two characters outside of flirty banter scenes, this would make more sense, but instead itâs all tell and no show, being rushed with the little time weâre given. Husk even says that the hotel residents go to him to rant their sorrows while theyâre drunk and even THAT happens off screen and thatâs the problem, the audience has no reason to believe that Husk knows Angel deep down or even cares enough to want to help him, in our eyes, all Angelâs been doing is sexually harassing him.
Thereâs no reason why these two need to have an emotional scene together, itâs unearned and unwarranted because we havenât had enough time with these characters, just like Loona and Octavia, thereâs just no purpose or buildup. I also resort back to what Iâve said before: Husk selling his soul to Alastor is not the same as Angel selling his soul to Valentino. The show tries to compare Angel and Huskâs situations and itâs just not comparable because Alastor isnât a rapist whoâs trapping Husk to sell his body and be used like a rag doll constantly. Had it been something like âyouâre a drug abuser and Iâm an alcoholicâ- THEN that would have worked, but thatâs not what we get, and this leads me to talking about why âLoser Babyâ isnât good.
Some people have already misinterpreted my opinion, so hereâs a few things. Is the song in character for Husk? Yes. Is the song about Husk telling Angel not to act and just embrace himself? Yes. On its own, the song is fine outside of some distasteful lines. The CONTEXT, execution, and placement of the song is the issue. Episode 4âs whole purpose is to see just how much Angel suffers. Heâs forced to work like a dog at the studio day in and day out, and he gets abused and SAâd by his boss and other demons constantly. He doesnât have a say in anything and can never say no because heâs under contract. He canât Fizz his way out of this one and just go âI quitâ, heâs literally forced to work in the porn industry wether he likes it or not, and we see all of that on screen. We also explore just how much this affects him. They reveal some pretty dark stuff here, how Angel doesnât even want his position as a famous porn star and is so desperate to be numb from the pain and suffering he endorses that heâll get high constantly and let people drug him for nefarious reasons, itâs his escape. They dump ALL of that info onto us, only for this bullshit to come up:
So the writers slut shame him, call him a freak and an addict to laugh at because âhaha heâs addicted to drugs and a slutâ, even though we JUST got done with a scene that confirms HE DOES ALL OF THIS AS A TRUAMA RESPONSE. He said himself he does the drugs and is addicted to numb the pain, and his own flirting (while problematic) is shown to be an act of him hyper sexualizing himself due to what he goes through. Itâs not excusable but itâs still a fact, and weâre supposed to LAUGH at him??? Thatâs whatâs wrong with his character and what continues to be wrong, because Viv sees him as the butt of the joke. Every line of dialogue he has is always about sex and how we should laugh because heâs a slut, an it comes off as so distasteful and insensitive to not only people who have been abused/SAâd, but porn actors in general. Weâre supposed to laugh when he talks about cock and sex, but the reason heâs doing it is so dark that we shouldnât be laughing about it at all cause heâs a VICTIM, yet Viv thinks itâs funny. Itâs so disgusting and makes my stomach twist. Angel is trapped being in a position he doesnât even want to be in, yet his entire character revolves around comedic sex jokes, and once you figure out the reason behind said sex jokes, it feels so wrong.
And this is why Loser Baby doesnât work. Aside from everything else Iâve already said, It doesnât line up with what Angel is going through, it doesnât line up with the rest of the episode. If you wanted Angel to have this arc about realizing he doesnât need to stick to his persona, fine, but you should have done it in a different episode. This is why Husk comes off as telling him to just suck it up and stop whining rather than what heâs actually trying to say. It looks bad with how they executed it, it just looks like heâs telling an SA victim to get over it and stop whining and whatâs worse is they compare their situations when itâs not the same. You literally have a scene of Angel telling Husk he lets people drug him, and not even a minute later Husk is calling him a loser. Thatâs the issue. The show doesnât know how to read the room, build character relationships slower, is just so incredibly tone deaf and is hypocritical. Weâre supposed to feel bad for Angel cause heâs sexualized to the maxes and is having trauma responses of that, but then weâre also supposed to laugh at him and his sex jokes while also finding him hot. Pick a fucking side Vivienne, the show wants to have its cake and eat it too and look where thatâs gotten us. The writing is a fucking atrocious mess and yet it had so much potential if Viv actually cared enough to take Angel seriously, instead of just desperately wanting to give him a boyfriend, and a rushed arc where he magically feels better in the end.

You know with how safe edgy Viv's shows I don't see why the setting is in Hell. I feel like Viv shot herself in the foot by doing this because it seems like Viv wants the praise of being considered edgy but she's too cowardly to follow through so we're trapped in this weird limbo where Viv wants to be edgy but is obviously putting on the brakes.
I think part of the problem Viv is quite immature.
Despite Viv being an adult, it is very evident in her writing style that she hasn't quite matured past the edgy teen phase and whilst her animation and drawing skills are good despite the questionable character designs, her writing is by far the weakest part of her skill set. It doesn't help Viv seems very impulsive and changes her mind on a whim and is willing to turn the story upside down at all costs as it's why Helluva Boss went from a dark comedy to Stolitz melodrama soap opera.
Not to mention Viv has amassed the wrong kind of audience for this show. Let's be honest with ourselves, despite Viv's show being rated adults, I am like 99% certain that at least a fairly large chunk of Viv's audience are teenagers and young adults at best who have been watching her since her channel got popular and most of these people primarily care about shipping and tend to be...immature and more volatile. I think that's partially why the writing is so juvenile because Viv is scared of alienating her audience. I think that's why she made Ozzie care for consent and Bee being concerned over people overindulging because Viv didn't want to make them unlikable at the cost of consistency. It's also probably why Lucifer's more evil pilot incarnation got changed into some wacky silly uwu depressed boy.
Viv seems to play favorites and she doesn't hide it. It's very obvious that when Viv favors a character, they become more likable almost instantly or at least she tries to make come off that way, though it's more noticeable with people like Stolas, Fizz and Lucifer. Compare their initial impressions in their debut episodes and you'll see a stark difference. I also think Viv is overall way too close to her fanbase because she takes ideas from them and she ain't subtle. Vaggie being a fallen angel was a fan theory that slipped into canon, Stolas and Blitzo meeting as kids was based off fan art and Hell, Chaggie wasn't even her idea(which probably explains how dull and unnecessary their relationship is) because a crew member made it and Viv being impulsive put it into canon despite Vaggie and Charlie acting more akin to best friends and honestly given how Vaggie's fallen angel backstory makes things so weird, I genuinely think she'd be better not existing in this series.
Honestly I'd at least respect Viv if she at least stuck with her guns here. Instead she's pretty much playing ping pong in terms of consistency because Viv's version of Hell is more or less Detroit but painted red.

I made a post on Reddit titled "Hot take but I feel like many if not most Stolitz antis are either homophobic or just hypocrites" and I even had to clarify at the end that not all Stolitz antis are like that. Cue the replies harassing me, taking it as a personal attack on them and making baseless accusations about me. One of them even sarcastically said "Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong and bigoted" as a way to make fun of me. I never said anything remotely similar to that. I don't think they bothered to actually read past the title where I explained that Stolas and Blitzø meeting as children is compared to a bad fanfic when that never gets said about straight couples in media who met as children and that people who hate Stolitz for what it is now only tolerated it when it was just a running gag, as if they can't stand it when gay relationships are being taken seriously. I also mentioned that even non-homophobic Stolitz antis complain about how toxic it is and then turn around to ship Blitzker. (Blitzø x Striker)
I had a similar experience. It's so stupid because like, some of them aren't even subtle about it. Same for chaggie antis. I remember seeing a post talking about how much Charlie doesn't get enough dick, so she's unsatisfied and needs Alastor. Like... I'm sorry, what?
A lot of the arguments stolitz antis are literally inherently bigoted. Like how they want Stolas to be paired with Stella instead even though he's gay. And STILL hating him for "cheating" after The Circus even though he's a gay man being forced to marry an abusive woman? Idk, that's... a red flag đ The same people saying stolitz is one sided were the same ones saying that Stolas and Stella were in love not to long ago... sounds like heteronormativity...
And a lot of them are Stella defenders? Sorry that I came to the conclusion that the people doing mental gymnastics defending the cishet abuser calling the gay male abuse victim the abuser may be homophobic đ
Like, it's not that different from female characters who get hate while the same people shitting on her praise fictional men who are worse or do the same shit. There are clear double standards here. These people turn around and praise cishet media with very similar writing, characters and tropes as Helluva Boss. And not only that, but it's not even just about their relationship specifically. Like, I have a theory that the whole controversy about Stolas being an "abusive" father is because of the stereotype that queer people can't be good parents. And the whole "child and parent have conflict but make up in the end" trope happens in fiction all time (example: Danny Tanner, Jeff Morales, Doofenshmirtz, ect.) Weird how it only became abuse and neglect with Stolas and Via.
Some people are blantly saying they wanted stolitz to "stay a joke", and it feels obvious to me that a lot of them just like queer characters who are queer in a goofy "dark humor" way and not an actual character with queer struggles and/or queer relationships.
People who say "but I disagree and I'm not homophobic!" Be expecting you to give them a pat on the back or something, I swear đ Like... good for you? Thanks for not being a bigot? Do you want a reward?
What I don't think people understand is that if they're not homophobic, then the post isn't about them. The fact that they're getting so defensive about posts directed at no one in particular is just weird because it looks worse than it would be if they just kept scrolling. Now it just kind of seems like Freudian Slip.
No one was looking at you until you said something
Of course they're not all the same, but I've seen people straight up call them the f slur
Sorry that happened to you. Just remember that Reddit is INFAMOUS for being toxic, so don't take what people on that app have to say to heart. Like, it's up there with Twitter and Tumblr...
And wouldn't you know it? Those are the 3 sites I see the most Stolas and Blitz hate.
Interesting

Slimeriana and QSMP fans, we need to talk (really, I'm going to talk about a few things).
CW: nsfw
Warning: long post.
At this point I think majority of you guys know what happened with Mariana yesterday (especially because the fliporiana community is small compared to other ones).
I'm gonna write some stuff Mariana said and I'm gonna be explicit about it because I want you guys to understand the severity of the situation (this is your warning):
Context: He was curious to see if people actually posted nsfw stuff about him (and poor boy, he really thought he wouldn't find any).
And I quote what he said after seeing some posts: "No, no, no! Why's Slime penetrating me?!" (He was probably looking at a fanart)
"I'm not doing role like that with Slime anymore. I thought you guys found it funny (he was talking about the sex role in the QSMP) but it only fills your minds with shit"
"I'm gonna say it in English because I know there's QSMP fans who do it as well: Don't draw hentai about me, don't draw us fucking, that's being a pervert, that's wrong"
Some months ago I wrote a post when we got the first warning in regards of this topic.
Mariana and Slime have talked about fanart before and at the time they didn't seem uncomfortable about it (though it seems like Charlie's girlfriend was).
So I wrote: it's not necessary to stop doing fanart about them. Just be careful with what you draw and where you post it.
To me even "suggestive" fanarts are "okay" (but with suggestive I mean the characters looking at each other like they want to kiss each other so bad, that's it). But when and how did that translate to some of you thinking that drawing real people having sex and not only having sex (because there's always ways to show intercourse without being explicit or disgusting) but also showing private parts is okay?
Because it's obvious Mariana saw something super explicit by the way he reacted (because he doesn't get bothered too easily). My poor man was distressed!
And let me tell you something. This is not only about Mariana and Slimecicle. This is a REAL PROBLEM within the fandom. Let me give you some examples:
I love reading fanfiction and months ago I was scrolling through the QSMP section on AO3 and let me tell you something: the amount of fanfiction written about the eggs and their parents in a non platonic way is CONCERNING.
Especially Wilbur Soot's fandom seems to have a lot of rotten apples who think that writing abusive stories about q! Wilbur and Tallulah is fine.
I understand some people write stories like that not because they're crime apologists, but because that's their way to deal with trauma (and dealing with trauma through art is okay). But PLEASE remember that while the eggs are fictional, their "parents" are REAL people.
Use fictional characters, please. Stop writing real people into pedophilic or highly abusive situations. THAT'S HORRENDOUS.
Another example is the following: Some weeks ago people were reporting a Twitter account and I clicked on the account (I personally don't like reporting people without making sure they deserved) and it took me like three seconds of scrolling to see more than 5 Ccs being disrespected (including Slimecicle, Quackity, Cellbit, Roier and Badboyhalo). Explicit Pictures, videos and fanarts were being posted about these creators.
You know what I think? I think Cellbit made his character asexual not only for the representation (it's clear by now that q! Cellbit is a sex positive asexual which is still representation yay!) But because he has been on the internet since around 2011 and he knows how disrespectful people can be. I think he knew that his and Roier's ship was getting too popular and that makes them both unprotected to shit like this.
Sadly, it's clear that it didn't matter that Cellbit made his character asexual, people can't seem to respect that detail about his character and about himself as a real person.
To some people it doesn't matter if the Cc is ambiguous or completely clear about their boundaries, they still don't give a fuck.
Please remember that behind each character is a real person. I understand sometimes you guys want to see your favorite characters fuck -me too, honestly- but for people like streamers that's out of the questions because not only they're real people, but because their work is related to social media and the possibilities of them finding EVERYTHING we write and post about them are super high.
I don't know how to feel. It's obvious that Mariana has not been feeling the same about the server since Juanaflippa died. Maybe this will make him feel even worse about the QSMP but I hope I'm wrong.

I'm going to blow some people's minds with this.
Just because people are very close best friends, does not make them suddenly be siblings.
I know you all are probably thinking 'obviously.' It's just that I saw some comic panels that are of Batman and Superman where they think of each other as the closest that either will come to a brother. Meanwhile, I don't think that's their dynamic at all. I'm not just saying this because I do like them as a romantic pair (though, who knows, maybe this brother comment was a chance for the writers to go "no homo"). The thing is I also adore them as best friends, their relationship is clearly so special, and they understand each other in a way that's unique. And I don't think calling them brothers makes them closer.
Maybe a better example would be a pair I don't ship at all. Okay, then Alex and Harper from Wizards of Waverly Place. It was a sweet moment when Alex called Harper her 'sister' and it didn't annoy me. But that's just not how I see their relationship. Obviously if you see them as sisters, that's fine. I'm just saying they don't have to be sisters to be close.
Obviously, sometimes, the relationship between two best friends is a sibling dynamic. Charlie from Supernatural is totally Dean's little sister in my opinion. But I'm not about to call Benny his brother just because they're also best friends, y'know? (Benny gets away with calling people brother because that's just how he speaks.)
It's not like it never works, where someone calls their best friend their sibling even though that's not the dynamic. Dean calls Cas his brother, and while it's honestly kinda second-hand embarassing, I once saw an interesting post on how the closest relationship Dean has ever had is with his brother Sam. He doesn't have close ties on such a deep level outside of that relationship for most of his life. So the best way he can express those close ties, or how much a person means to him is by comparing it to brotherhood.
This is such a random and unimportant thing to rant about. And maybe it's just me being annoyed that people keep referring to my ships as 'brothers.' Idk... As always, if you have different opinions feel free to drop them in the comments. There's always a side I haven't considered, and I try to keep an open mind about things.

Man I am so vanilla when it comes to ships in Hazbin...
Staticmoth: The epitome of toxic old men yaoi. They're just the worst. They push each other's buttons. They both have obsessions on the side but both want to be each other's center of attention. Other people's suffering gets them horny. They got married three times and divorced five times. They know exactly how horrible the other one is but it only makes them more attracted to each other. They're so toxic it's a health hazard for everyone around them. I wish nothing more than for them to die horribly while holding hands.
Chaggie: I've been shipping them since the pilot and I'll be real they were everything I wanted and even more. I always knew that their relationship would be mostly background stuff since they're an established couple, and I was excited to have something where the main character is in a stable and affectionate relationship. I didn't expect them to get a whole little storyarc with the whole angel drama... I'm just. So happy. Seeing them, knowing how much they supported each other over the years when they had no one else on their side, openly working out their issues... They're just everything that's good in the world.
Huskerdust: I feel about it a bit more differently compared to the previous two. I'm happy to see them just do whatever, but Huskerdust stands out because its development is kind of... part of the plot of the show, rather than just being an extra layer to their characters. I'm not even interested in fanfiction for them because I'm too excited to see how it progresses in the actual show.
Radiorose: QPR goals. Alastor having someone he's so comfortable with honestly elevated his character for me. I don't have a lot to say but I enjoy seeing them together immensely.
Appledust: guilty pleasure comfort ship, refer to this post for more context.
Ships I like less under the cut, I try not to be too mean but still, be careful.
Radiostatic (Or, I guess, Onewaybroadcast, rather): I like it a lot but only when it caters to my superspecific tastes. First of all it needs to be one-sided. The second Alastor reciprocates I'm like *Lucifer voice* "Who is this? Who is this man?" Second of all the "hate" part of the "hateboner" is essential (unless we're talking before their falling out). Vox both wants Alastor and wants him dead. It's been swirling inside him for years and had poisoned whatever relationship they had beforehand. There's no turning back from this.
RoyalHalo: I don't know how to explain it, but when I personally ship something "platonically", it's different from just regular shipping and different from having a brotp. Nothing much to say on the ship itself, they're cute.
Cherrisnake: I wish I could like it more but "Meh" is right. I think it has potential, unfortunately 8 episodes a season didn't allow it to develop. I wish we could have had Cherri before ep6 to establish her relationships with Angel and Pentious and I wish they had at least one genuine conversation before the end of the season.
Alastor x Charlie & Alastor x Angel: actually it's not about the ships themselves, just some bad experiences in the early fandom. Ik not all the shippers are like that, especially now when those ships are less popular and a lot of people are vocal about not liking them, but unfortunately I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy them.
Lute x Vaggie: Nothing to say I just don't like it.
Val x Angel: I put a black line because my knee jerk reflex was to think of people like. Ignoring the abuse, but thinking about it, I do enjoy the exploration of their relationship if it's in-character. It's just not something I personally would consider "shipping". (But then what makes it different from onewaybroadcast? Guess I'm just a hypocrite or something)
"Found family" is a term that's used very differently by different people in the fandom, which is a little confusing to me, so I changed this category to "maybe".
Alastor x Husk: Much like the previous one, except I trust people with it even less after all the victimblaming Husk got after ep5.
Velvette x Vox and/or Velvette x Valentino: I don't ship those personally just for the reason that Vel genuinely seems uninterested, but I support the people who do. Especially the polyvees shipping. There's also additional element to this for me personally is that if Val and Vox were an item, there's a fear that Vel would come off as a third wheel or be pushed to the side, and if they were all together this wouldn't happen. So I have no choice but to support, even if I myself can't get into it.
Guitarspear: Lute ripping off her arm to go help Adam... The last thing Adam does before death is smile at her... God. They were also very fun hypemen for each other during songs, and just the general dynamic was really funny. I would say I like this ship when I see it, but I won't go out of my way to look for it?
Carmilla x Zestial: They're friends... The fanart is nice to look at. It's fine.
Radioapple: I'm conflicted. I guess I am kinda interested in what their relationship would be like in the show, but in fanworks I mostly enjoy the "they aren't actually attracted to each other but everyone thinks they are" dynamic. It's funny.
Pentious x Emily: Ok, one (1) crackship. My friend ships them and I kinda see the vision? Could be cute.
#.ramblings#idk how to best tag it... i guess I'll tag the ships I put above the cut lol#hazbin hotel#staticmoth#chaggie#huskerdust#radiorose#appledust

Thanks for answering my ask! Yes, that's very true, Ryan has been consistently hated/viewed with suspicion and skepticism for years, so the majority of buddie fandom (who are Oliver stans) wouldn't want to ship him with Oliver. I distinctly remember one particular post (in Ryan's tag) a year or two ago that was like, "ugh if buddie goes canon i feel sorry for oliver having to kiss that man" đ
Lol yes I guess we have to thank bt shippers and their OTT vitriol for turning the tide somewhat. It's been nice to see a recent influx of vocal Eddie/Ryan fans join the fandom. So refreshing and entertaining.
Yes also I remember the super cute bts vids that popped up during/toward the end of s6, and some people tagging positively about Ryan (albeit begrudgingly!). But definitely a lot more people were on edge about rpf compared to now.
Ooooh so about Oliver being single, that's what I thought too! But someone else I sent an ask(?) to a while ago said that he didn't actually say anything concrete in his insta live, and that he is still with his gf đ¤ does anyone have any further confirmation either way? I'd love to know!
"this happens quite a lot when ships are about to go canon. People start projecting the ship onto the actors, especially when chemistry is REALLY huge " - this is a really interesting phenomenon you've pointed out!
No provblem anon! I love receiving asks!!
YES!!! I completely understand why people were really mad back then, especially black people and I also understand if there are still black people who haven't quite forgiven him and it's totally valid, because what he did was not ok (even if he never said that word he was still trying to justify his then wife's actions and that should have been a big no no) the problem is that people let it get a tad too far and spreading things that were NOT true to new fans in the recent years out of anger, making him seen like a terrible person who is a racist and hates black people when that is not true... Aisha and Angela were really mad back then but they both clearly have forgiven him (since Angela invited him to his anniversary party and Aisha to his wedding) and he has never done anything remotely similar again so I think he truly changed and has become better so I really believe people have started to see that and the bt being awful to him probably was a changing point to most of the fandom (not all because some still hate him) but well you can't change someone's views on people changing...
Also yes anon! A lot were completely against it calling it awful and whatnot and now are the biggest ryliver shippers (and getting viral over it when less than 6 months ago they would cancel you) and taking everything as ryliver signs but whatever I just hope they don't take things too far
To the Oliver thing... I watched that interview live and I'm 100% sure he said he's single but I can't for the life of me find a clip of the interview (if anyone finds it please send it to me!!!) But I remember that he said he was single and then kind of shaded his ex (lol) so yeah
As for the last thing... yup not many notice but it happens quite a lot. Just like how actors tend to fall in love with eachother (which doesn't happen all the time but it happens) in fandom it also happens that they believe they fall in love. Take heartstopper for example... Kit and Joe plan Nick and Charlie who are very in love but in reality they're just very good friends but people insist on shipping them or the Bridgerton actors that play Colin and Penelope as well... people project the feelings of their characters into their real life personalities because of the chemistry the actors have together. It's hard to comprehend the idea of acting so close to someone and play lovers and have so much chemistry but not falling in love
Wow now that was quite a lot đ¤Ł
Sorry anon I got carried away

back at it again with my shitty fandom hottakes â if youâre still accepting asks about the whole âcanon v. fanonâ thing, that is â because i have ⨠opinions ⨠that have been ruminating in my head for a while now and i kind of wanted to throw them out into the void (i DO humbly apologise for the length â i have more than one talking point and am not known for my brevity lol)
(1) Alastor being sex-repulsed, or just sex negative in general.
yeah, weâre getting the controversial one out of the way first: probably should clarify that i personally AM a sex-repulsed aroace and therefore, i can See why people, including our fellow aces, naturally come to this conclusion â really, itâs only when people tote this statement as fact *specifically* to deter shipping that annoys the hell out of me. Alastor is a mysterious character: we REALLY donât know much of anything about him in the grand scheme of things beyond what he *chooses* to reveal and that includes the matter of his sexuality â and frankly, he doesnât reveal much of anything on that front, man doesnât even know what an âasexualâ *is*, XD. Most evidence Iâve seen citing his so-called sex repulsion that *isnât* just dubiously canon at best supplemental material such as the Hunnicast or simply headcanon being repackaged as fact are the two scenes where Alastor turns down Angel Dust â a character who, especially at that point in the narrative, is VERY forward in his hypersexuality. The thing that i just donât see a lot of people acknowledge, however, is: (1) Alastor turns him down, yes, but not in any way that would characterize him as being *particularly* sex negative (âHa! *No.*â/âHaha! Never going to happen!â), heâs just bluntly rejecting Angel Specifically; and (2) Husk *also* rejected Angel and far more overtly before the two started to genuinely bond + is much more open about his discomfort with Nifftyâs kinks, and yet he isnât treated as sex-repulsed by the much of fandom â quite the opposite, in fact. Frankly, while i can *see* the reasoning behind portraying Alastor as sex-repulsed, the idea of him being this sex negative person who lashes out or faints at the notion of literally *anything* that can be perceived as sexual to be laughable when you consider his long-lived friendship with Mimzy â a *flapper* â and that he grew up in a period of great sex revolution in the United States: just because the 1920s is considered âprudishâ by todayâs standards doesnât negate that fact; i can easily see Alastor as being repressed as a consequence of the time period and his unwillingness to adapt, but not to the extent that heâll keel over seeing a fucking ankle getting flashed or while getting hit on â he *is* an adult, after all, and has had plenty of time to adjust to Hellâs general hedonism while not partaking in it himself.
(2) the infantilization of Charlie, Niffty, and Velvette. pretty self explanatory, i think: fandom in *general* has a pretty glaring issue of treating happy-go-lucky or just...short characters, especially women or neurodivergent characters, like children and itâs not *just* limited to hazbin fandom â it just makes me sad.
Charlie gets it slightly less *severely* compared to the other two, i believe, but i still see it crop of in some sects: yes, sheâs clearly sheltered, and yes, she wears her heart on her sleeve to her detriment, but sheâs also a grown ass woman (Faustisse â who i donât personally consider a reliable source for most things relating to the current day show by virtue to them having left the project in 2020 â has stated that she is around 200 years old, so iâm going with the general assumption sheâs older than MOST sinners here) and she *is* trying to run a business beyond feel good therapy exercises, however messily because, frankly, she isnât particularly *good* at doing business: still, i see certain sects of the fandom treat and portray her as having the naivety of a child, reducing her to an âuwu smol beanâ blindly trusting even the shadiest of fuckers like Alastor without any hesitation or critical thinking whatsoever under the notion of âwell, EVERYONE can be redeemedâ and relegating characters like Vaggie to be glorified babysitters at *best*: in canon, yes her ideas of redemption arenât particularly well-rounded *yet* and itâs clear thereâs a disconnect between her and other sinners due to her upbringing, but she *isnât* an idiot â sheâs well aware Alastor is shifty as fuck and doesnât have her best interests at heart no matter how much she hopes he secretly *does* care, thatâs *why* she held off on making any deals with him until she was driven into a corner, and she has no problem calling people out on their shittiness or showing her teeth just because she leans more towards pacifism compared to the rest of the cast.
Niffty, frankly, isnât treated *much* better in canon compared to fandom, but thatâs honestly a rant for a *different* day: itâs obvious she likely has SOME kind of disorder to explain much of her more eccentric behaviour, frankly we can speculate but we simply wonât know for sure until we know more about her in general, which *may* come in s2 considering where things left off with her. Oftentimes in fanon, sheâs pigeonholed into simply being âAlastorâs hypomanic daughterâ rather than her own individual character, which is a shame â itâs obvious the two have an amicable relationship despite her being his thrall, but it doesnât read as particularly familial to me personally beyond him finding her antics amusing (and in a, frankly, patronizing way typical of Alastor) â and sheâs regularly coddled, not allowed to have relationships with other characters *beyond* a parental dynamic with deerboi or husk: despite the actual show pointing to her having, at the very least, a friendly relationship with Mimzy and the rest of the hotelâs guests, and her being a former housewife whoâs explicitly into hardcore kink/BDSM.
Velvette getting this treatment is the most egregious to me, tbh: iâve frequently seen her be boiled down to being staticmothâs glorified wingwoman/their daughter rather than their *equal* and business partner â frankly, i think people hear that she was the âyoungest Overlordâ and took that in the most literal way possible to portray her as a glorified teenager, her being a social media influencer not helping matters in that regard because people tend to subconsciously associate social media primarily with teenage girls due to bias. i canât speak on *some* aspects of her infantilization in fandom that gives me a particular case of the âickâ, but I canât help but be bothered by it showing up even in work I *enjoy*. Food for thought, all that jazz.
(3) Vox being portrayed as this overly flirtatious and horny 24/7 voyeur creep guy, *especially* around Alastor. this may just be my bisexuality speaking, but it just...*doesnât* sit well with me when so far the only *confirmed* bisexual male character in the show is written with this sleazy behaviour he doesnât exhibit in the show proper â yes, heâs suave and charismatic, and clearly not a prude considering his frenching with Val and...well, Val: â[which whore] could i be talking about?!â Vox: [points to self], and yes, he runs surveillance literally *everywhere*, but...[sighs] He Would Not Fucking Say That, guys â where at *best*, heâs a horndog, and at worst, an outright rapist, whoâs *solely* driven by his obsession with Alastor and fuck the rest of his character, i guess. It just...makes me uncomfortable. but hey, thatâs just me.
(christ on a stick this is a lot, i am so, so sorry :skull:)
Oh, MK, this was delicious. Do not apologize for the length, I am absolutely delighted. I am always interested in hearing peoplesâ hot takes!
(1) Alastor being sex-repulsed, or just sex negative in general.
I totally get you on this one and honestly, I never thought about the Husk angle but youâre absolutely right. Husk rejects Angel way more often that Alastor and yet I have never seen Husk labeled as sex-repulsed, yet Alastor is labeled as that forâŚdoing the exact same thing? What? Iâm asexual and possibly aromantic myself, and this just rubs me the wrong way with people just assuming because heâs asexual that he doesnât like sex full-stop. Not how it works.
I also really like how you point out the historical context of it. The 1920s were a time, man. This fic explores some of the crazy things that went down in the 1920s and itâs wild. But yeah, the idea that he would freak out over any little sexual thing (whichâŚwe actively see him not do?) is frustrating and kind of makes him out to be this delicate flower whose innocence must be protected.
Now, if people want to make him sex repulsed for various reasons, then go right ahead, but I definitely agree that it irks me when I see people trying to use it as an argument against literally any ship with Alastor.
(2) the infantilization of Charlie, Niffty, and Velvette.
Yeah, I definitely see this. Charlie is naive, but it gets ramped up a lot. People forget she is literally now an official war veteran and has actually led an army into battle. She is an overwhelmingly positive character, yes, but sheâs not an infant. We even saw in the pilot that she was cautious and hesitant to even speak to Alastor, let alone make a deal with him (she slammed the door in his face twice). She is kind and emotional and optimistic, but sheâs not stupid. She wants to see the best in everyone. This doesnât make her a child. And like you said, we see her demon side come out when sheâs angry. Sheâs not above getting pissed and letting it show when she really wants to.
I think people honestly forget that Niffty is not a child. She looks like one, but yeah no sheâs an adult. Like you pointed out, this is done pretty frequently in canon and fanon. I honestly like her and Alastor more as friends than as a parental relationship, someone who entertains him and he genuinely enjoys the company of. I do hope we get to see a little bit more of her being an actual character in season 2 because I do love her and want to see better for her.
Velvette is complicated for me as the Instagram kind of did set her up as their daughter, so I think a lot of people got used to that concept. But honestly? I prefer them as equals. I can see Vox taking on more of a mentor role with her when they first started out while Valentino was more her creative BFF, but ultimately she is shown to be a capable character who can stand on her own two feet. I do think the whole social media thing and her being the youngest plays into her infantilization alongside her previous incarnation, but I definitely prefer her as an equal player in the game.
(3) Vox being portrayed as this overly flirtatious and horny 24/7 voyeur creep guy, especially around Alastor.
Fucking THIS. Okay, gonna just jump forward a bit here, but people calling him a creepy horny voyeur because of the cameras bothers me so much. HE. IS. A. CONTROL. FREAK. Those cameras arenât for him to jack off to! Theyâre literally to siphon information and blackmail and anything else useful. He is a connoisseur of information. Literally every instance where we see him using his camera, HE IS INFO GATHERING. The one exception is when he is watching Alastorâs fight with Adam and that is clearly outside his norm. That being said, I think people take that scene and run with it, especially his comment about being âso hard right now,â which I think is ridiculous. Heâs exaggerating, heâs having fun and joking around because the guy he hates is getting his ass handed to him. And the idea that his obsession with Alastor rules his brain 24/7 is a hard pass for me. The man is the CEO of a media and technological empire. He does not have the time to devote his every waking moment to obsessing over Alastor. In the scene where Pentious calls him, itâs pretty clear that Vox was busy doing other things both times he was called. He wasnât sitting around with bated breath waiting for Sir Pentious to report in. He was just going about his day and getting his shit done.
Also hard agree as a fellow bisexual that itâs troubling that the only confirmed male bisexual character gets so hypersexualized in a way that heâŚdoesnât demonstrate at all? Literally the one time we see him get sexual is the fight with Adam. Thatâs it and yet suddenly itâs his entire personality. The flirtiest we ever see him act is during his part with Valentino in the finale and even that isnât focused on sex or romance. Itâs more them talking about being in power.

When you compare Chaggie to other canon relationships in the universe, like Fizzmodeus, Moxillie... You realize how poor they really are in comparison. The fact that they are already a couple when the show begins is not an excuse, especially when you compare once again to these two canon couples already established that I cited above. Even StaticMoth vague secondary relationship seems more interesting from what little we've seen of it, not to mention the borderline mythological story of Lucilith which is extremely intriguing. Not to mention the relationships in development like Stolitz (frankly epic by the way) CherriSnake and Huskerdust... I mean, compared to all these other main romantic relationships that are already canon, those that are more or less canon but secondary, and those that are currently being developed... Chaggie is no match for me... I heard that they were originally just supposed to be best friends and that the designer changed that at the last minute ? Well if it's true, it shows. And a lot. And it's a shame, because they have great potential. But I don't find it treated well enough... It's very sad to be called homophobic by part of the fandom for this simple difference of opinion.
I agree. I feel like we have both - we have multiple canon relationships that have been done, but they are treated as relationships that are developing or organically working, such as Millie and Moxie. While I understand that Viv decided to make Charlie and Vaggie a thing, it would also seem that from pilot to Season, they could have added some elements that make the relationship much more organic and such. To make Vaggie her âprotectorâ just ruffles me up a lot. Seeing them maybe have more conversation, engaging, flirting, and such would have made more sense. Not âYou have to be careful!â Or âMaybe we shouldnât do somethingâ does not tell me that the relationship is working. Charlie has some grand ideas that Vaggie doesnât seem to accept.
I really like Charlie, and I want someone who could be supportive.
And then someone out there is going to be like âIt isnât Alastor!â I didnât say that, however, he has done more for her confidence than Vaggie has, and I absolutely believe he is going to be a big bad for them, but then Charlie is going to lead him down a better path-which, unfortunately people STILL donât seem to understand that that is the ENTIRE point of Hazbin-Sinners are not EVIL, they have made decisions that are not GOOD, and that Heaven themselves are also not making strict black and white choices with who they are putting there(Adam should be in Hell, change my mind).
Problem is, we have some great, GREAT characters! I love them all in their own way, but relationship mechanics? The story? Meh. Iâm having fun with my own ship, and Chaggie can enjoy theirs. Itâs as simple as that.

I really dislike Chaggie being compared to Jally. I ship both, but....
Jack and Sally aren't a couple in Nightmare til the very end. Jack only comes around once he's literally been shot at and forced to see things out of his fantasies for once and realize that other people really do love and support him; like Sally. The entire rest of the time Jack's stuck in his own mind. Sally's in love with Jack but she's actually not supportive of his Christmas and even tries sabotaging it because she knows what he's doing is wrong even if it took an unexplained visionflower for her to get that hunch first. Her line is literally "although I'd like to stand by him" not "I support him even if I really don't want to". And in the end not only is Sally vindicated by being right like Santa says she is, but Jack suddenly realizes what she's done and falls for her right then. YMMV on how good a couple they'd actually make ((they aren't Diane and Mr. PB; eat shoot Lindsay Ellis *annoying cries*)) but that's what's cute about Jack and Sally: Sally does her pining maturely (stalking not included) while Jack instantly falls all over in love with her because he's Jack.
I understand there are different interpretations w people think Jack was always in love with Sally but obviously I digress and have always kind of disagreed with that reading, as did the writers of TNBC. Because, if you did have a version where Jack was always feeling something romantic towards Sally, or WORSE, was in a relationship- you would get Charlie x Vaggie.
If I'm right (seasoned hazbinnies feel free to correct me on this) Charlie and Vaggie were not written to be lovers initially but later retconned into being later into the writing process....which shows. I think promo stuff from back then called the two just "friends" and Vaggie and Charlie don't act very romantic. As I just laid out and as any shipper of Jally could tell you it's not hard to make that kind of dynamic cute and quirky. The problem is it isn't even THERE.
Vaggie is apparently Charlie's girlfriend and I guess just also believes in the hotel but is skeptical of it, though I wouldn't consider that on par w Sally who was straight up gonna poison Jack in one of Caroyln Thompson's earlier scripts. Especially given that she's an angel this could either work for or against her character but Vaggie seems more like an agent then a loving bestie, even. I think I remember one of the spin off comics for Hazbin which had Vaggie just straight up admitting she's doing the hotel plan because it makes Charlie happy and she'll do anything Charlie wants.
To be honest, it reminds me more of Dr. Mrs. the Monarch from Venture Bros going on about how/why she puts up with Monarch's shit when he doesn't listen to her and it's because he has "passion for a villain"...the difference is that in that case you can kind of get where Mrs. the Monarch's coming from in her emotions. With Vaggie, well, guess that's a sin of not having all the details of her feelings laid out yet. I mean, when you ever get Vaggie's feelings. Such little work about your main couple in comparison to Angel or Alastor.
AND THEN CHARLIE? You can really tell she wasn't written w Vaggie as her gf in mind.
Boy howdy I REALLY HOPE for the series that Viv and co listened to some of the crew complaints and gave Charlie a more empathetic and supportive vibe because ho mah gawd and I mean this as someone who ships them- Charlie is a HORRIBLE girlfriend in the pilot.
Again, thematically, Jack has the excuse of being in a manic depressive episode and also not knowing Sally very much at all in TNBC. He sees her as just another one of his Halloween Town friends who's especially talented but doesn't even realize she and the rest of the town cares. He's not listening to her when she comes to warn him because he's self obsessed. He's nice to her but also passive cause that's how he is at that point of the story, even if he's gentlemanly about it. Compare to Charlie who, while always adorable Didneyprincessesque, is dismissive of Vaggie's concerns, anger, fears and reform while she's not only aware of Vaggie's feelings WHILE BEING IN AN APPARENTLY COMMITTED RELATIONSHIP WITH HER is concerning. And that's before you get to Charlie not noticing Vaggie getting tossed around by Alastor right in front of her.
It'd be different if Al does his weird smarmy shit and Charlie is uncomfy but only stiffens up and shows her actual strong side to him when he touches Vaggie- "HEY! Don't you lay a finger on her!" but no, nothing.
I ultimately get what Viv wants and is going for by comparing Charlie and Vaggie to tnbc, but I think in practice in the pilot it fails because it
was never planned out to be a couple
they're supposed to be a couple but Charlie and Vaggie aren't all that romantic
they're supposed to be a couple but Charlie isn't very supportive or even defensive
People give Jack a lot of shit (rightfully, in the video games) and give the movie and Jally shit for being a "bad fit" but I again vouch for them not only on the grounds of tnbc being complete and at home in it's own skin. The rest of the franchise not so much, but the movie and the writers of the character know what kind of person Jack is and have his redemptive quality be that he falls for Sally; I love him and Sally both as characters but also as a couple for that reason. I'd feel totally different if Jack, say, was Sally's bf throughout the film and acted the way Charlie did. I can be critical of TNBC and I think some of Jack's writing is flawed and could be better, but y'know, I will defend it pedantically like I'm doing right now.
With Charlie and Vaggie, I ship them because they're my favorite characters from the pilot but dayum. I'm the kind of hermitshipper who's able to sustain myself off scraps and headcanons and even I'm saying these two need some work. Cuz they do. They need A LOT of work. And better writers.
If Chaggie is ''endgame'' in the final season then I hope "A Happy Day in Hell" is just an outlier scene or it's going to be retconned that they aren't lovers yet because if not- oh Vaggie! Get urself a Hasani Walker comic and fast my gurl you need it.

The Pirate Queen
Chapter 2 - About the Topic of Pirates.
This time in a gold dress that fit her like a glove, Alice made her way out of her temporary home with Edward in tow. Both wanted to walk, so she gave Charlie the night off.
âHave fun and donât get into too much trouble.â She had told him with a wink. She needed a break from being nobility, and would rather have spent the couple precious minutes walking with Edward than the thirty seconds it would take to ride in a carriage. The sun setting did nothing to stifle the heat and humidity. Alice found herself, once again, wondering how her fellow women survived in clothes like this while in the islands.
âRemind me, Edward, when we get back to the ship?â
âYes, Captain?â
âWeâre burning this corset in particular.â It seemed to be slightly tighter than rest.
âWill do, maâam.â
As they were almost to the door, Alice slipped into her posh accent. âYou donât have to stay here, Edward.â
âAre you sure?â
âIt will be a quick walk home and anyone who dares try to mess with me well-â
âAt their own peril.â Edward agreed with a chuckle.
âGo get drunk, have some fun for both of us.â
âIs that an order, Captain?â He whispered and she gave him a soft smile before walking toward the servant at the door.
When the servant announced her, the first one to greet her was Elizabeth.
âI am so happy you came.â She said with a bright smile. The lights flickered behind her, casting a glow of gold over the room. Alice could feel the eyes of the guests on her, but she tried to ignore the sensation.
âI was delighted to get your invitation. Thank you.â They both curtsied. âThe invitation said a small guest list?â Alice joked.
âI know compared to the parties you have probably seen back home this is not grand. There will be dancing after dinner though.â
âMy dear Elizabeth,â she said with a smile, âI am happy to be here with you. That is enough in itself.â Elizabeth smiled and walked arm in arm with her into the dining room. Alice got a sense about Elizabeth. That, despite her upbringing, the pomp and circumstance didnât sit well with her. She seemed to go along with it for her father, but she was clever and funny. Though, she tried her best to conceal it around Alice. No doubt thinking she should impress Lady Frances, the noble, with being as mild mannered as she could be.
Norrington had already arrived, dressed in his Navy blues, and Alice couldnât deny that she was happy to see him. He gave her a polite bow as the two women walked up to him.
âI want to thank you again for the tour today.â
âAs I said before, the honor was mine.â His green eyes took in her dress. âYou look lovely, Lady Frances.â
âThank you, Captain. You look quite handsome yourself.â
âLady Frances!â Governor Swannâs voice caused her to break eye contact. âA delight to see you.â
âYou as well, Governor. Thank you for the invitation.â
âOf course. Come, you will be sitting next to me.â He led her to the end of the table. Governor Swann sat at the head. With Alice to his right, his daughter to his left, and Norrington beside Elizabeth. To her surprise, on the other side of Norrington was a man she recognized as Lieutenant Gillette, one of Norringtonâs men.
As everyone took their seats Governor Swann stayed standing. âI am delighted to see all of you here this evening. To be dining with friends old and new, on this joyous night. I have wonderful news.â He took a beat to let the tension build. âThe ceremony to promote Captain James Norrington to Commodore James Norrington is to take place in three days time!â There was a round of applause and several people immediately congratulated James. âNow, donât you all worry, the plans for the ceremony have been carefully kept quiet for some time.â Alice stifled a laugh. âI could think of no one better to keep Port Royal safe than our dear James Norrington.â
âIt is truly an honor, thank you so much.â There was a tinge of red to Jamesâ cheeks and he looked to Alice who mouthed âCongratulationsâ before standing herself.
âGovernor Swann, if I may?â
âOf course, Lady Frances.â
Alice took a steadying breath. âI did not know what to expect when coming to Port Royal. But, I can say for certain just how warm and inviting the people here are. I have been welcomed with open arms and I couldnât be more grateful. Particularly by Governor Swann and dear Elizabeth who are the embodiment of kindness. Captain Norrington, you as well have gone above and beyond in your kindness to me. So, in your honor I would like to have a ball at my home.â A delighted murmur ran through the people gathered. âYou are to be celebrated. As you should be.â Her eyes seemed to burn as she said it. James didnât miss a moment. âSo, the night before your ceremony we shall have a ball.â
âCan you get everything together that quickly?â Governor Swann asked.
âWatch me work miracles, Governor.â She said with a smile and the group laughed. âI shall invite the whole Navy stationed at Port Royal, it will be a grand event.â She grabbed her wine glass. âSo, letâs raise a toast to Captain Norrington.â The group followed her lead. âTo a good man, who has earned this.â
âTo a good man.â The crowd echoed before she sat down. James just smiled at her.
âOf course, Governor,â Alice said as she leaned toward him. âI shall need your recommendations for the best caterers.â
âAnd you shall have them.â He replied back with a smile as the first course was brought out.
The conversation flowed with the wine. Some smaller groups broke into different topics. By the third course the topic had shifted⌠to pirates.
Alice tried not to let his discomfort show as she carefully ate her food and drank her wine.
âWell, I just donât understand why the Navy canât catch more of them.â A woman at the end of the table was saying. âThey deserve to all be put in prison.â Alice was determined to never learn her name.
âThey have no respectability to them.â A man beside her said. âCan you imagine a pirate sitting down to a nice dinner such as this?â The group laughed. âThey would be eating with their fingers like barbarians!â The sudden urge to eat with her fingers just to see that man scandalized crept into her brain and she pushed it away.
âThe Navy has been doing quite a good job at successfully getting rid of Pirates.â Norrington asserted. âMost of the pirates of any renown have been killed or captured.â
âAs they should!â Governor Swann proclaimed. Alice took a steadying breath in. She knew some of those pirates, and sailed with some of those pirates. She looked up and to her surprised Elizabeth seemed as annoyed and frustrated as she felt. âLet them come to Port Royal.â Governor Swann joked. âAny pirate. They will be strung up and put on display.â Elizabeth actively stopped eating.
âFather!â
âHave you at all considered,â Alice started before taking a sip of her wine. âwhat could make someone turn to a life of piracy?â
Governor Swann laughed. âBecause in their heart every pirate knows they are hell bound.â
âItâs simple Lady Frances,â James started. âPirates are not decent people. They could choose another way, but they donât. Which means, they do not deserve any sympathy from good people like you and me. Trust me, I know. I have met my fair share of pirates and theyâre⌠theyâre not like those gathered here.â Alice took in a deep breath as the conversation continued down the table. She could feel the anger coursing through her. The rage threatening to burst, mixed with an urge to laugh. Pirates werenât barbarians. Little did they know who sat amongst them, portraying a noble no less. She knew pirates that were worth ten Navy sailors for their courage and loyalty alone. She stood slowly and carefully.
âPlease excuse me, I would like to get some air.â
âThe back balcony has a beautiful view of the garden.â Elizabeth recommended.
âThank you, Elizabeth.â She had a feeling Elizabeth had used this escape more than once. Alice put on the best fake smile she could and forced herself to walk slowly toward the back of the house. The small breeze in the air carried the scent of the ocean and Alice breathed it in as deeply as she could. She missed her ships, she missed her crew. The group in that dining room, wishing death on her and her friends, would think it backward, but she missed the more caring and happier atmosphere on the ship. The music playing at night and stories being told. The men playing cards and telling jokes. How everyone was equal. It didnât matter their background or who their parents were.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a set of boots and James Norringtonâs voice. âLady Frances, are you alright?â
âYes.â She said turning to face him with a smile. âI am quite fine.â
âIs it the heat?â
âThe heat?â She asked.
âMost, when they come to the Islands from England, find the heat hard to contend with.â Alice gave him a genuine smile. He was right. When she was first in the Caribbean at a younger age, the heat had been hard to deal with.
âI am sure that plays a part.â She replied with a nod.
âAbout the topic of pirates-â
Alice held up her hand. âIf we could not continue that line of conversation, I would be grateful. I donât expect a man of the Royal Navy to have a differing opinion.â
âNor do I expect a Viscountess to have a differing opinion.â
âI wasnât always a Viscountess, Captain.â
He looked at her carefully. He couldnât be sure what made his next sentence tumble from his lips. âBut you have always been a Craven⌠havenât you?â Her stomach sank to her toes. In letting her mouth run away with her, she had forgotten she was supposed to be the daughter of Baron Craven. For a moment her mind raced until she let out a small laugh.
âI am going to let you in on a secret, Captain, that most nobles donât want you to know.â She took a few steps closer to him and he almost seemed to hold his breath. âThe children of nobility arenât all angels.â She whispered and he let out a laugh, the tension seeping from the situation.
âNo, I should hope not.â He couldnât stop the smile on his face. While James had his suspicions, he found Frances so charming and lovely. They did say every noble had their secrets. Aliceâs mind was still racing. He came dangerously close to putting two and two together. Music began to play from the ballroom and he held out his arm.
âMay I have the first dance, Lady Frances?â
âYou may.â She took his arm as they walked back into the grand home. The scariest part of that interaction for her was how much she wanted to tell him. How much she wanted him to know her. The same man who just said she had no decency and he had no sympathy for her⌠if he knew.
Several couples were already dancing when the two came in and they joined. The tension of the previous situation all seemed forgotten as they moved about the room together. Their eyes not parting for a moment. It was as if they were made to dance together. It couldnât have been more than a minute before Norrington felt a tap on his shoulder. Lieutenant Gillette stood with a strained smile. âMay I cut in?â
âOf course.â Norrington said and Gillette leaned in to whisper to his Captain.
âGovernor Swann wishes to speak with you.â
Gillette then bowed to Alice who curtsied back before they begun dancing. Alice caught the tension in the conversation between Governor Swann and James.
âThat doesnât look good.â
âI dared not ask.â Gillette said carefully. âBut I can promise Governor Swann was not happy when he demanded me to ask for this dance.â His face flushed. âNot that I am not honored to be dancing with you, Lady Frances.â
âIt is quite alright, Lieutenant.â She absolved him of his worry. âYou, so far, are a marvelous dance partner.â He let out a small breath of air as they continued to dance.
âDo you have any idea what that looked like, James?â Governor Swann was saying. âYou followed a married woman outside in the dark, where you proceeded to stay for some minutes. Then the two of you come back arm and arm and share a first dance!â He was trying to keep his voice low.
âThere was nothing improper, Governor, I assure you.â James was saying carefully. âI was asking the Viscountess if she was alright. That is all, and then I escorted her back in.â
âMight I remind you, Captain, that you have made it know to me your intentions with my daughter?â
âYes, sir. I apologize, sir.â
âI suggest you go ask my daughter to dance and ignore the pretty eyes of Lady Frances for one night.â James clenched his jaw and gave a strict nod before making a bee-line for Elizabeth. He hadnât realized his transparency. He would be lying to himself if he said he didnât feel something for Frances. How could he not? Still, the Governor was right. He needed to focus on his priorities.
As the night wore on, Alice found herself increasingly in need of a pair of trousers and to be out of a corset. Since his quiet argument with Governor Swann, Norrington had been avoiding her, and she was pretty sure he had already made his exit.
When Elizabeth was between dances, she pulled her carefully to the side.
âYou have to forgive me Elizabeth, but I must away.â
âAre you alright?â
Alice smiled. âYes. I just would like to be rid of this dress and comfortably in bed.â
Elizabeth laughed. âI understand completely.â
âThink you can help me sneak out of here so I can avoid the long goodbyes?â
âSay no more.â She carefully and slowly led Alice toward the kitchen and out the side door.
âThank you. I shall see you soon, Elizabeth.â
âGood night, Frances!â Elizabeth whispered excitedly.
âI knew I would get you to call me Frances.â Alice said with a small laugh as she walked into the darkness. Her home was on the other side of the Swann residence so she took the path slowly.
âLady Frances?â Norringtonâs voice startled her.
âCaptain, you gave me a fright.â Alice had taken a few steadying breaths. Despite what she told Edward, she wasnât exactly sure how to fight in this kind of dress.
âMy apologies. Are you heading home?â
âI am.â
âWhere is your bodyguard?â
Alice smiled. âI gave him the night off.â Norrington looked scandalized in the light of the outside lamps.
âI must insist that I accompany you on your walk home.â
âItâs only a minuteâs walk. Plus, I fear I have gotten you in trouble enough with your future father-in-law.â
âHow did you know?â He asked.
Alice smiled softly. âGovernor Swann is not a subtle man. I take it Elizabeth has not been made formally aware. Though, she is smart as anyone I have met, so Iâm sure she knows as well.â
James looked troubled for just a moment. âStill, I insist, please let me walk you back. It would be ungentlemanly if I didnât.â
Alice couldnât help but let out a small laugh. âWell, if it would call into question how much of a gentleman you are, I see no other choice than allow you to accompany me.â He held out his arm. His other priorities be damned, so it seemed.
âMay I ask you something, Lady Frances?â He asked as they began to walk.
âYou may.â
âWhy did your husband send you here alone?â The question had been plaguing him. What husband would? If he were honest with himself, if he was married to Frances he would never want to be parted from her.
âIâm not alone.â She responded. âAnd I promise you, I am more than capable of taking care of myself.â
âI am noticing that.â He chuckled.
âCongratulations again, on Commodore.â
âThank you.â He responded, and she felt a bit of sadness go through her. Soon he would be hunting her. As they got closer to her house he noticed it was dark, no servants to greet her. From a small, well designed, bag hanging around her waist she pulled a key.
He smiled, torn between impressed and concerned. âYour servants arenât here to do this for you?â
âCaptain, my servants are my friends. They are my family. They deserve the night off too.â
âYou continue to surprise me, Frances.â
âI make that a goal when I meet people.â She jested. He took a step forward, crossing into her space. Instantly she wanted to kiss him. He was close enough. He was right there. In the darkness, with just moonlight, they seemed to feel emboldened. She knew he felt it too, the way his eyes flickered down to her lips and back up. Instead, she took a small step back which he mimicked.
âThank you for walking me home, Captain Norrington. Your status as a gentleman is no longer in danger.â They both took in the double meaning of that sentence.
He let out a breath of air and tried not to laugh. âGood night, Lady Frances.â
âGoodnight, Captain. I will see you at the ball.â

After seeing all the other postsâŚ..fuck it!! Iâm looking for Hazbin roleplays (preferably on discord). IâM 24, SO IF YOU ARE NOT 18+, PLEASE DONâT MESSAGE ME!!
I write literate, for the most part, so unless thereâs not much going on, I tend to write at least a paragraph, maybe 2-3 depending on whatâs needed, and I tend to try to match length when possible.
I have a few plots from a couple of these characters, Iâll have the ones I got plots for marked, butâŚ.yeah!! Letâs fucking go, onto who I can write and/or wanna try writing
- Angel (HEAVY main muse, I write him the most, mostly looking for a SFW agere rp, but I do have other plots!!)
- Lucifer (I honestly havenât written him outside of a fic still in my drafts, I have no plot, fuck it, we ball)
- Alastor (This is uh. The plot I have is weird and involves cannibalism in a kinky, but not sexual, way!! You have been warned.)
- Charlie (Honestly? Never really played her, I just wanna give it a go!! I have no plots.)
- Valentino (Fuck it, Iâm done pretending heâs not funny, and I can write him decently well, ssssooo- Alas, no plots-)
- Cherri Bomb (ONCE AGAIN, havenât written her, but I REALLY wanna give her a go because sheâs cool, I donât see people write her often, so WE BALL, LETâS GO, I have no plots ^^ââ)

I'm not surprised that viv stays quiet of charlie x alastor shippers' deaths because she seems to detest charlie x alastor given how in her own series, she made sure that Alastor is seen/treated as Charlie's dad figure despite how Charlie is a grown woman
I donât see it that she detests us charlastor shippers, more so she just doesnât care about her fans and how they affect each other. Though I can see why people think that, with how she treats the Charlastor ship specifically compared to the other popular fan pairings
However, not liking a ship and the people who ship it is not an excuse for letting people die and acting like itâs not happening. She needs to recognize that her fanbase is becoming toxic, she needs to speak up and remind everyone their behavior is unacceptable. I know she wonât, though. And the toxicity is going to continue, no matter how many innocent young people die.
To my fellow charlastor shippers, you are loved. You are beautiful. You are appreciated. You are more than the media you consume and the characters you ship together. You are lovely human beings with your whole lives ahead of you. Do not let these toxic pricks take that away from you. Help is always available, you are not aloneâ¤ď¸
And I beg of anyone reading this to please think before you act. Please remember that when you leave a rude comment, send a threatening message, you are saying that to a person. There is a living being behind that screen. Please, have some empathy for once. If you found out that person was going to end their life because of something you say, would you still do it?
