Aeipethy For Jake/Antoni pretty please 🥺

Aeipethy: an enduring and consuming passion

-

"If I could... If ever I could." Antoni's voice is slight, as always, the softness hiding the nervous waver beneath. Jake blinks open eyes heavy with near-sleep and turns his head to look over, in the dark. Kauri, between them, breathes slowly, deeply asleep.

"Could what?" Jake keeps his own voice a whisper, too. His shoulder has been hurting more, and he took an extra pill after dinner. It leaves him gently floating above the nerve pain that might lessen or might not, no one knows. It makes him wonder if he's dreaming this conversation. Dreaming Antoni in their bed when usually he stays in his own.

"... Sleep with you. If I could do this, to have-... To have sex. If I could-... If I did not-... If I had not had the want taken from me. If I still had it, and felt the want for you. If I could feel it for you. Would you?"

Jake has to blink again. He must be dreaming. So he's honest, giving a soft nearly-silent huff of laughter. "Ant... Antosha. Yes. Every day, if Kauri didn't wear me out first. The two of you could take years off my life and I'd die happy."

Antoni answers Jake's laughter with his own, relief making him seem to melt beneath his blanket, just a mop of dark hair and glimmering dark eyes. "I am sorry, Jasha, that I can't... want to."

"That's fine, Ant. I don't love you because of that, or Kauri either. I mean with Kauri that's definitely in the list, but-"

"I heard that," Kauri mumbles, half-muffled by his mouth against the pillow. "Talkin' 'bout my ass and I'm not even awake to join in."

"We weren't. I swear. Your ass was absolutely only distantly relevant to the conversation."

"M'ass is relevant to all conversations," Kauri mutters, and seems to fall immediately asleep again before he's even finished speaking.

There's a beat of silence.

"Ya lyublyu tebya, Jasha," Antoni murmurs.

Jake closes his eyes. If this is a dream, it's one of the better ones he's ever had.

"Love you, too, Antosha."

Son coeur est le tien

Alastor x Reader qpr (general headcanons)

a/n: halfway through writing this, i realised that maybe my idea of a qpr might be different than someone else's haha,,, also, this is the very first time I've written for hazbin hotel lol (and should i mention that english isn't my first language? haha)

that being said, i hope y'all enjoy this mess :P

also also if y'all would like me to continue writing Alastor qpr (cuz there's def a shortage on that), feel free to send me prompts :)) i obvi wont write nsfw, but other than that, i think anything is fine (?)

Being in a qpr with the radio demon would include…

Long talks over tea/coffee

There’s never any awkward silence between the two of you. You two could be chatting about the most mundane things, and the conversation would still flow perfectly.

He’d definitely learn exactly how you like your hot beverage.

I personally can’t imagine him being an avid coffee drinker tbh, but I don’t think he’d mind if you are one.

Takes your tea parties very seriously, knows all your favourite pastries, puts on some smooth jazz, brings out the fine china, etc

Loves listening to you talking about your day, your current interests, hobbies, etc. Even if the topic itself isn’t all that interesting to him, he’ll still listen to you.

The both of you love gossiping with each other. Neither of you will admit it to others though.

Petnames

You very rarely hear your given name come out of this man’s mouth.

He never calls you anything that he deems too sickly sweet, usually sticks to dear, sweetheart, or darling.

If he’s having a particularly great day, he might call you love, but that doesn’t happen very often.

Constant praises & words of affirmation

I think words of affirmation is one of his main love languages.

He constantly showers you with praises, telling you how gorgeous you look, how witty your jokes are, etc.

We all know that this man is a charmer, however his compliments to you are more than just empty words… most of the time :p

Do keep in mind that this man is a master manipulator tho, so he isn't above using sweet talk to get what he wants.

Playful banter that keeps you on your toes

He loves a good back and forth, especially if his darling is a particularly witty individual.

The two of you can turn any conversation into a battle of words.

However, if you take it too far, he’s not afraid to put you in your place with a couple of sharp words, aimed to hurt.

But most of the time it’s just good fun :)

Never having to so much as lift a finger

He’s very big on acts of service.

Forget about opening doors or pulling out chairs for yourself.

He takes being a gentleman very seriously, especially when it comes to you.

But not only is he a gentleman, he’s also a powerful overlord.

So if you ever need anything, be that a new pair of shoes, or getting rid of a particularly nasty demon, consider it done.

Being his closest confidant

We all know that Alastor has many acquaintances, however he falls short on meaningful connections.

He doesn’t let people get too close to him, and it is sort of understandable why.

You are one of the only exceptions to that.

You know more about this man than all of hell combined.

It took a while for him to open up to you, and even longer until he started telling you about his past.

He’s the kind to drop hints about himself and let you figure out the rest.

Trust goes a long way with him, I think he’d be more open to sharing his plans and such with someone that he knows won’t question his every move.

Even so, there’s still a lot that you don’t know about him, but you’ll just have to take what you can.

You can dress however you want… as long as it fits his taste

He’s not all too picky about what you wear.

Contrary to popular belief, he wouldn’t expect you to be in full glam 24/7.

If you like more revealing clothes, well, he’ll just have to make sure that anyone that dares to as much as look at you the wrong way is taken care of.

That being said, looking well put together is a must.

You represent him in a way, and he expects you to look the part.

He can’t have you wandering the streets of hell in rags that not even the lowest sinners would wear.

Absolutely no modern technology allowed

Do I even need to explain this?

He’d rather be safe than sorry when it comes to the possibility of Vox messing with you.

You are never truly alone

Alastor would make sure to accompany you on your outings as much as his schedule allows it.

But let’s be real, he’s a very busy man.

He makes sure that a few of his shadows keep an eye on you though, even in his absence.

I don’t think your personal strength matters in this case, as I’ve mentioned before, there’s very little that this man wouldn’t do for you, especially when it comes to your personal safety.

Lets you get closer to him than anyone else

This time, I’m talking about physical closeness.

We all know that he isn’t big on physical touch.

However, I feel like you could get away with a lot more than others.

When the two of you are walking somewhere, it’s not unusual for him to offer you his arm.

When you’re standing next to him, he sometimes rests his hand on your back, although that is often a subconscious thing.

If you’re having a particularly rough day, he isn’t too opposed to letting you hug him.

You can also get away with laying on his lap sometimes, and if he’s feeling exceptionally gracious, he might even pet your hair.

PDA is definitely a big no-no, on one hand he has an image to protect, but I also just don’t think he’d be too comfortable with showing his more vulnerable side in public.

As for kisses… if you haven’t seen each other in a while, he might greet you with a kiss on your hand, but that’s as far as it ever goes.

He’s not a very touchy-feely person, so if that bothers you… good luck finding someone better than the radio demon ;)

me af tbh lmao

anway, thanks for reading pookies mwah (slash platonic lol)

[spidey-bie]

After I rewatch this movie I'm gonna come up with so many aroace Hobie drabbles/imagines. You cannot convince me that he isn't aroace. I mean come on someone who hates labels as much as he does? You think he's gonna uphold amatonormativity? You are not his boyfriend/girlfriend you are his partner in crime. Y'all don't kiss but he's your ride or die. And imagine him having a qpr with a black partner *faints*. Lemme stop before I get ahead of myself.

[noveloctoling]

WASSSSUPPP!! Also please read :>

HEEEEEEYYYY GUESS WHAT GANG!?? I FINALLY GOT MY LIL HANDS ON TUMBLR (OR WHATEVER IT WAS CALLED AGAIN)!! NOW I GET TO TORTURE ALL OF YOU WITH MY STUPID THOUGHTS MWAHAHAHAAA For any squid, octo, salmon, or anybody out there who hasn't heard my name before, names Novel! It's legally "The Newest Orange Star Burning Over Inkadian Shores" YEAH I KNOW SHALLOW COULDN'T COME UP WITH A NORMAL LAST NAME AND I'M SO GLAD FOR THAT (I'll post about my mom AND my other mom/dad/parent later but right now I want y'all to know about ME). I'm 15, use Any/All pronouns, and I'm pretty sure I'm a lesbian. Currently in a QPR with Lee (I'll also talk about them later!). I'm a Two-Spot Kani(Cali)fornia Octoling, just a fun fact about specifics!

I main Painbrush Noveau, but when I'm not playing Turf War, I'm working as a Salmonid Rights Activist. What is that you ask? Well, it's more of a goal than an actual job. I want to forge a mutual ground between the people of Inkadia and the Salmonids. The war between us has gone out of control, especially due to Grizzco operations. I HATE THESE GUYS, UGH. Before we can end this war and leave each other alone, Grizzco must be taken down.

Grizzco Industries is terrible in many, many, OH SO MANY ways. First of all, and the biggest reason why it should be taken down, is that it is exploiting the Salmonids for whatever goal it has. I don't care about its goal, but what I do care about is how much it is hurting the Salmonid race. Buddy, those golden eggs? THOSE ARE CLAMN UNBORN CHILDREN YOUR STEALING!! The murder and kidnapping have caused a shift in the balance of life and death in the Salmonid population, and oh boy, their MAD. No wonder we keep getting invaded. I must also include the horrendous working ethic for teenagers, and the dangers it poses to young inkfish working there. Trust me, I know a guy who's gone insane working too long (might talk about him later).

I BEG for anybody who comes across my posts to help join the fight against Grizzco Industries. It can save so many lives, both Inkadian and Salmonid alike. DOWN WITH CAPITALISM!! ANARCHY!!

Asks are open! Ask me anything, I'm sure to answer em! And to those trying to defend Grizzco...FIGHT ME!! I WANT TO FIGHT YOU!!

[rtc-confessions]

Hello! I'm back on my bullshit lmao I just saw all the responses to a confession I made and decided to come back.

As this is anonymous I obviously have to reintroduce myself: Hi! I'm the guy who said (amongst other things on a post made about a week ago) that Noel does not have to be homosexual. To clarify: I do not mean in the musical, not canonically. Just for fanfiction and stuff. Cos sexuality is fluid and fanfiction doesn't always have to align with the real content. And a few people fucking hated that.

So I'd like to ask: where are you all when canonical aroace characters get shipped outside of QPRs? Where are you all when bisexual characters only get shipped in mlm or wlw relationships because otherwise they'll be "straight"? When all the straight characters are made queer because of our lack of representation? Y'all came after my ass over Noel Gruber because God forbid I rid you of another gay white boy but I never see this for any other kind of sexuality bending ever.

Don't get me wrong, I'll still ship Noel with the other dudes, because let's be honest Noel/Ricky and Mischa/Noel are top tier ships. But I'm also allowed to ship Noel/Ocean, and Noel/Penny, and Noel/Constance because HE IS FICTIONAL and I am not taking away from any real queer person's experience by not taking "gay" to mean 100% exclusively men-loving-man. Sexuality is fluid, labels are not as strict as you imagine them to be, and queerness transcends beyond whatever identity you choose to describe a character (or yourself) as.

- Sincerely, the Lesboy (signing off only because I have a funny feeling I'll be back again)

2 FICS IN ONE WEEKEND we’re so spoiled omg I!!!!!!! I LOVE THEM BOTH

Sick Diluc with Kaeya being on better terms with him as caregiver is so ;;-;; Kaeya immediately taking control of the situation!!! The way they know each other so well broke me a little and I’m so weak for characters getting sick, stopping, and then having to be sick again… multiple times… like my gosh he must have been so absolutely exhausted 😭

And!! The sick Xiao fic was absolutely precious!! I can’t emphasize enough how beautifully written it is, too, from a more technical standpoint, like. The pacing and everything is impeccable. And just!!! I adore their relationship. I have a personal head canon of Xiao being ace/aro, and having a QPR with Lumine (absolutely fine ofc if you or anyone else view it differently lol I know I’m in a minority here) which I mention just because. Reading your fic through that lens was so extremely comforting to me on a personal level. I can't even explain it but I just!!! Really really love the way you write them!!

All this to say - thank you for all your hard works and incredible fics you’re amazing!!! 💕💕💕

— Cas

(see you say that but I feel like *I* am spoiled bc y'all are amazing and no matter how unsure of a fic I walk out of it the screaming tells me what I need to know lol)

I wasn't Originally sure how I wanted their relationship to come across but I decided upon "better terms" partway through, and like it still worked even with a little bit of snark from Kaeya because siblings snipe at each other and Kaeya's got ammo to hold over Diluc for the rest of their Lives:tm:

And yes Diluc was SO exhausted. I really like playing with how well they know each other - have to know each other - and also how well Kaeya knows his way around the winery and such because like. Dude Kaeya's hangout only underscored how much Kaeya may not do this often but he knows Exactly what to do and what is going on. and its just. I love it so much...

Diluc needs a nap (and a break)

aslk;djflask;jdf okay actually I love your take on the Xiao and I'm glad it reads comfortably like that??? because?? I wasn't actually aiming for shippy and I think even if they were... kinda shippy I agree with Xiao as ace. Something in the QPP range suits well for what I was hoping for and im glad it works because I wasn't sure if I nailed the range I wanted right. Bc. I am also ace and and my partner is aro and tbh outside of our relationship (which works beautifully for us) I barely know how they Should work and obviously ours is weird bc we started out dating like, normally and learned a lot about ourselves and each other and- anyway. The trouble with dating someone aro for more than 10 years and being Super Ace is that I just. -shrug- what does this look like to anyone else I dont know and ive stopped knowing how to Tell, if I ever knew how.

Anyway! I'm glad They came out well. Even half out of his gourd xiao ended up way wordier than I anticipated but I kinda loved the way it all came out. I'll def have to write more of them. At some point. -glances at the list of things I have to write more-

This has been TMI responses from Aery!

(seriously tho thank you so much for your kind words you're amazing too <3)

[fanficmaniatic]

Transformers Pairs I think shouldn't live only in my head:

Because I think I am onto something and Y'all should hop along.

Disclaimer: Not all of them are romantic/ Some are platonic, and/or I think we should consider making these character family.

ALSO, There are some I think we as a fandom should ship in the "I think they hunt the other for sport" type of way, no romantic feelings.

1- Blaster/ Nauttica/ Road Rage.

I know a good deal of you already ship Nautica/Road Rage, and that's great... Now, consider giving the lesbians a hype man. I personally ship them in a ot3 way, in a "Let's go Bisexuals" type of way if you will, but Blaster being just their platonic bestie is also fine. I just think the 3 of them should live together. Picture this: Science girlfriend, Party Boyfriend, Bodyguard girlfriend. Is a the 3 of them are super smart and competent but in different fields and can help each other... also the nerding-out and Road Rage being absolutely in love with music provided by the resident radio.

2- Blurr & Cheetor.

This one upsets me, because why cant we pull a "Jack frost and Elsa are dating" on them, why is this QPR living only in my brain. WHAT IF, hear me out, they meet while racing and become best friends, they are RIDE or DIE. They see each other as their sun, they push each other to better themselves. I could see them as romantic, but the QPR aspect of it is too soft for me to pass.

3- Jazz ][ Getaway.

Okey, hear me out, your see the racquets "][" ? That is to keep them real separated, This is a "Coworkers to enemies" ship, an "Enemies to I will be responsible for your demise" if you will. I haven't finished MTMTE and I won't be able to in the near future BUT, if this fandom has feed me a common sentiment is that we hate Getaway for good reason. Now, Picture this:

Jazz, head of SpecOps, having to work with the guy that thinks he is worthy of carrying the matrix. Is Diplomatic Corps and SpecOpcs rivalry is.... you know what I just want them having a bloody fight. Get the romance BULLSHIT OUT, let them haunt the other for sport.

4- Perceptor/ Warpath/ Bliztwing.

Okey, you have to trust me on this one, because I accidentally started shipping them while working on my continuity and... tHEM...But what if Perceptor was allowed to go a little bit Apeshit and had boyfriends who supported him? What if Bliztwing was more like his G1 self? what if Bliztwing and Warpath were pre-war buddies? just thoughs man...

5- Eject & Rossana.

First, I think they would get along. Second, is that Rosanna looks like she likes football... so... Let them play together man. We either make Rewind, Eject and Rosanna triplets or Rosanna&Eject the twins, with Rewind being the older brother. I just think we don't make use of the cassettes sibling-like relationships enough and I just would like to see these two more often.

6- Prowl ][ Starscream.

Look, if you don't think Prowl and Starscream should have an "I want to personally murder you" type of relationship, you are lying to yourself because that shit is just too funny. Throw Chromedome in the mix for extra spice. Just picture those two having to work together OR THEY DIE, and doing everything in their power to be the only one that comes out of the situation alive. You know what? "Enemies to reluctant allies" is also okey but only because that would crack me up.

7- Jazz/ Ironhide/ Chromia.

This came to me in a vision... The vision was Ironhide leading an attack while Chromia took out enemies from afar with her sharpshooter skills, and this is all a diversion so that Jazz can steal information. They go for drinks after that. I also think that Jazz being the shortest yet the one people are terrified of would do wonders for the comedy possibilities of this ship. This can be 3 best friends, a QPR, or a ot3, just... you know what they say "Something something they go to missions together they get married" <-Someone has to have said that before.

8- Roulette & Jazz.

This goes to the "Ex-decepticon Jazz" lovers out there... Give him a friend that gets it, someone who wouldn't judge freshly "Fence Hopper" Jazz because she has a sister with the decepticons, and she wishes this whole war was just over with. Bonding over the differences between the Autobots and Decepticons. Is Jazz helping Roulette check on Shadowstiker and covering for her because they know the decepticons are just mechs like them.

I have more but idk how to explain it without also having to explain a shit ton of nonsense because, Overlord and Toaster are married but y'all are not ready for that conversation.

[cj-the-random-artist]

Ok bringing this post back with an addition of some winter clothes references except they're also going under the cut cuz there's a little extra bit for what I intend to be my next comic (tho depending on how it goes I might just post a written version of it idk) and that little extra bit is. Idk if it's like. Spoilers for my own AU? But if y'all don't wanna be... spoiled for the next AU comic that I theoretically intend to make... I guess... then there's a spoiler wall here for ya but for anyone who doesn't care about spoilers and wants to see my Narilamb in winter clothes along with read some rambles about the next comic I intend to make here ya go:

Next comic rambles. I spent like forever and a half after the making of this comic here (the proposal one) thinking about like. What exactly I would want them to do about an actual like. Marriage of sorts?? And after months and months I concluded that eventually they would come to an agreement of doing like a platonic semi-marriage that like kind of resembles the rituals of a traditional marriage but is also done slightly differently?? They have rings (which are worn on their middle fingers. Or in Lambert's case their index finger lol) and they made vows to each other and it's recognized by like the laws of the cult as a legal union to where Narinder gets his tax exemption, but it's like. Very much not set up as a traditional marriage beyond that (ya know cuz they're both. Aromantic and such). But like they don’t move in together or partake in certain marriage related rituals and stuff like that. But anyways. I have decided on how they get not-technically-married and what leads up to it it's just a matter of. Ya know. Turning the four page script into a comic at some point. But these winter clothes designs are too good to go unposted, along with my ramble about my Narilamb getting not-married in this silly little QPR AU.

Anyways. Clothes thoughts. Lambert does wear an actual shirt in the winter when it gets cold enough, despite the fact that they wander around shirtless for most of the year. I also gave them longer pants for the weather, but they wear the same fleece. Narinder, I think, runs cold, so he gets a thick cozy shirt and also some slightly longer pants, and a cloak for the cooler weather. I also wanted his winter clothes to look a little less like structured fabrics and more like softer material cuz I feel like he'd like that in the winter.

But anyways. Have a good one lovelies and enjoy these silly doodles :D

Be it as it may that I've spent the last few weeks very very very much itching to make comics but. Alas. I am. Under the weather, to put it lightly and I have been for a while so. I attempted to scratch the comics itch by making actual references for the (yet unnamed) silly au versions of Narinder and Lambert so that when I do return to making comics I have good references for them (I should probably make some for like the Bishops and like some other canon characters and maybe some followers but I'll do it later it's fine)

Gonna add a read more with their individual refs with some of the layers of these outfits and some bonus notes. I would've done more stuff for these but it's fine it's a future me task-

Pls enjoy these, have a good one y'all :D

[lowkey-loki245]

Y'all wanna read the poem I wrote about the time there was a tornado nearby and the alters who were fronting (who were and still are in a QPR together) were scared as fuck and thought they were gonna die? Welp, I don't care what your answer is, I'm sharing it.

-------------------------------------------------------

The sirens have become background noice and I'm crying next to you.

I always thought I wanted to die, but now I don't think I do.

You put on our favorite song, the song we've made love to,

And as you hold me in your arms, the wind picks up and I say that I love you.

Our minds have been connected from the very start, so you can feel how scared I am.

Yet you stay so calm and talk to me in a hushed voice, promising we'll be alright.

I've started to forget the sirens are even there as you whisper in my ear.

"It's okay sweetheart, just breath. It'll all be okay."

I had wanted to die on my own terms, but I can settle for this.

Me in your arms as you sooth my fears, what could possibly be better?

I'm starting to get tired, crying is exhausting, and I fall asleep in your embrace.

I open my eyes to see us safe and the morning has come again.

-------------------------------------------------------

There, bon appetit.

[ashintheairlikesnow]

For the five sentences fics-

"That looks like it hurts."

"That looks like it hurts."

Kauri's eyes narrow as he sucks on the end of his finger. Copper blooms metallic against his tongue. "Give you one guess as to why."

Antoni sighs, reaching out. Kauri pulls his finger from his mouth. Not quite touching, he can feel the watch of Antoni's skin, hovering less than an inch from his. "Hm. Go get a bandage, Kasha. I will finish chopping for you."

"Yeah... But you still have to let me cook dinner." He walks away, to pull the first aid box down from a high cabinet. He has to climb on a chair to do it.

"Do I, though?"

Kauri turns, catches Antoni's smile, and throws a kitchen towel at his head.

[noona96n]

Omggg my feelings about the guest are so big idk if I can manage to be coherent TT but you did ask for a vomit after all hahah

So true tho aroace gilyoung!!! Honestly when I first watched the show I interpreted their (all 3) relationship as like found family like they're siblings they're best friends they're each others most important person they bicker they care SO MUCH

I was a little disappointed when I saw most if not all the fics about their relationship were romantic but like I take what I can get but your qpr version is sooo appealing yes please

[Slaps roof of Yoon] this guy can fit so much religious conflict/trauma in him!! I love how he fights with his faith and himself and his feelings like OOF and and

And the way when Hwapyung untangled their hands in the water he kept the rosary??? 🥺 like he wanted to take a reminder of what he's leaving/who he's doing this for with him? And then he keeps it when he survives?? Soft.

And Gilyoung so good so true she was probably my favourite from the three she's so headstrong and so caring and at the end she WILL get these guys to take care of themselves if it kills her

And the relationship development between all three, and just the general vibe of the show and the horror. I just love this show so much

omg yah! Gil Young is my absolute fav, hands down.

i love the trio a fckn lot and Choi Yoon will always have a soft spot in my heart (see: poetic suffering) but Gil Young takes the cake. Gil Young is everything! i admire her tenacity so much, the way she persevere and willing to do what's right, even if the law disagrees with her. she's just… S H E ! ! !

i haven't loved a female character so fully and wholeheartedly like this in a while 🥺 she has my heart and my admiration 💖

and, honestly, same… it's kinda sad that romantic fics are so predominant in the fandom… i also see them as found family. like, LITERALLY found each other. like wow… found each other in the first ep and found each other again in the last ep… full circle. fantastic metaphor ✨

anyway, as i said, i label their relationship as qpr only bcs conventional society would demand that they name their relations to one another and people would be like 'u aren't family, y'all aren't in the same family registry' or whatever tf bcs ive come to realize that a lot of people need to process all sort of relationships in relation to romance bcs they don't really understand that love doesn't only refer to romantic love smh

(also, sorry for the mini rant on love… i just hate how allos are dominating the discussion on love and refuse to see love beyond the romantic lense)

then again, i also understand the hetero ships bcs the writer and director be dropping subtle hints of possible Hwa Pyung/Gil Young and Choi Yoon/Gil Young here and there. and Hwa Pyung/Choi Yoon too lol so i can see why they ship Gil Young with the boys but nah, for me she's a kickass aroace that's just tired of all the allos around her haha

and the rosary… the fckn rosary *pterodactyl screeching* HWA PYUNG WEARS THE ROSARY!!!!!!!! i dont think rosaries are meant to be worn but Hwa Pyung just… wearing it??? around his neck????? and it sits over his chest??????? the chest where his heart is meant to be????????? F E E L S P A I N

(also, shameless self promo but i made this gifset of their hands bcs fckn PAIN)

i love Choi Yoon, a massive soft spot for him and, as my fav, i want him to ✨SUFFER✨ i wanna read a fic/meta where the Catholic side of him is explored and explained. im so fascinated by the internal conflict that's caused by his religion but im not educated or aware enough to really understand. i really wanna write a character study fic that explores Choi Yoon as a person but im not well-versed enough in catholicism 🥲 i especially wanna explore his relationship with his hyung bcs i can tell how much he loves his hyung and how much his hyung loves him as well… his hyung was somewhat lucid enough to ask if he was at cram school before he went apeshit and murdered their parents. his hyung still remembered to care for him despite everything. his hyung loves him and im reminded of the way Itachi annihilated the entire Uchiha clan but kept Sasuke alive bcs he couldn't find it in him to killed Sasuke. (sorry about the Naruto segue rip im a weeb can u tell?)

anyway, a question just pops up into my head and that is: how tf does Hwa Pyung managed to still be sane and kind after all the shit Park Il Do put him thru? he's truly such a 'vast' and kind and beautiful character.

[zetomato]

I said most of my stance in the notes but let's go.

OP is right but not (and don't shit on them, read the notes, they got it and it's great)

In the show, Alastor has been announced as Ace. Out of the show, he's been clearly announced as Aro/Ace. So I can't blame anyone who only watched the show who goes "He's Ace but can be Romantic!" Also, well, Ace/Aro is a huge spectrum so nothing stops anyone from being Demiromantic or Greysexual or Asexual who has sex, etc. It's all about attraction after all. And fics are an incredible world! You can create anything and use character as Canon or OOC freely! Some I will vibe with, some not, it's all good! I'll just avoid interacting with the ones I like less and all's great!

And then comes the "OP is right" part... It, in no way, cuts off my previous point, but... If we search for Hazbin fics on AO3, at the moment I check Alastor's in 2/5th (4 out of 10) main ships of the filters. On Tumblr, I dunno if it's me being bad at searching, but 90% of what I see with Alastor (fic/fanart wise, not just the fandom simping over him which, hell yeah go off y'all) is very sexualised. Ace/Aros are not the ones having the most fun in the LGBTQIA+, mostly because, well, when we get some representation, either it's a monster (See Godzilla) or, well, a character immediately shipped with so many people without taking care of their Ace/Aro identities. So it's not that surprising that we go to "just don't romantically/sexually ship this character" because we see less Queer Platonic Relationships than fully romantic/sexual ones when shipping happen. And, well, who feels good when they keep being told they're faking it/they'll find the right person, and then see this happen to a canonly Ace and/or Aro character?

TL:DR; Ship Alastor away y'all, not only is shipping whatever you want to, but also being Ace/Aro doesn't mean no romance or sex ever for everyone. Also, a ship can be a QPR and that's really neat!

But do be mindful that people who are on this spectrum and are delighted to be represented keep having the experience of being erased in medias and out of it so reactions will vary from one Ace and/or Aro to the other! Some of them very defensive!

It legit irritates me when I see people try to force Alastor into romantic pairings with other characters when the show has made it known time and time again that my boy CLEARLY HAS NO INTEREST IN ROMANCE WHATSOEVER.

I like a good ship as much as the next guy, but that does not give you the right to ignore or erase a character's sexual orientation, and you bet that applies to aroace characters.

I'm rewatching Little Women (the 1994 version with Winona Ryder) and I just--

I love Beth and Jo. All the March sisters are my favorite, but they're my favorite favorite. And I can't stop my brainrot about Little Women in a 2021/modern setting.

So here, take my modern Little Women brainrot:

Beth: She would be anxious about the pandemic, but she would love quarantine, what with everyone at home and staying inside together. She would irritate her siblings with her piano playing 24/7, but I don't think she'd care much. She would also volunteer at the vaccine sites as soon as they opened and help people as much as she could. Aroace, but she's got the biggest heart of anyone you've ever known. Definitely has anxiety and is autistic. Chronically ill (but she doesn't die because ~modern medicine~). Probably agender, but she doesn't care enough to figure it all out. Never swears, but doesn't mind when her sisters do.

Jo: She/they, first of all. Second of all, crossdresser ("If I were a man, I'd want to look just like that"). She would also absolutely be an AO3 writer who gets published later on. Then gets diagnosed with anxiety, depression, ADHD, the whole lot. Asexual queen. Biromantic icon. (No, I'm not projecting, why do you ask?) Moves to the city, loves the city life. Rooms with Laurie, who moves out of the country to the city with them. Doesn't swear regularly, but when she does, it's quite colorful. They and Laurie both go to college in the city (likely NYC). They have the time of their lives even though they both eat ramen for every meal. They both get ~therapy~ too.

Meg: Straight, but an ally. Stays out of politics, but secretly smiles when the people her sisters vote for win elections. Marries an accountant (a real accountant, NOT the TikTok kind), but she enjoys the simple suburban life. The only devout religious one of the sisters, but she doesn't push it on her sisters. Has a classic little American family and frowns when her sisters swear. Although she does fit into the classic Republican setting, she secretly doesn't like it very much. She and her sisters (and Laurie) all grew up doing theatre, and although she would never admit it, she misses it very much.

Amy: (Y'all are gonna hate me for this one) TERF. I said what I said. However, once Jo comes out as she/they when Amy is a teenager, she rethinks her whole view of it and comes out a better ally than ever. Becomes the loudest ally of the sisters and ends up leading them in pride marches. She only ever dates men, and was insistent that she was straight before she rethought everything, but now she refuses to put labels on herself. They just don't fit, she says. Rarely swears, except for the occasional F-bomb when she's cursing out homophobes (or when her favorite TV ship doesn't get together).

Laurie (I know he's not a March sister but I like him anyway): I think he and Jo would stay best friends and never develop romantic feelings for each other. He would actually be a brother to them all, not some weird brother/romantic interest for them. He would definitely be pansexual and probably very demiromantic, if not completely aro all together. Realizes that he's definitely he/they soon after Jo comes out. He and Jo get up to all sorts of crossdressing shenanigans, especially when people get mad at Jo for "trying to be a boy." They go out to brunch on random Tuesdays wearing each other's church clothes, with Amy (before Laurie and Jo moved out to the city) having done Laurie's makeup flawlessly, glitter and all. They're a Gay Theatre Nerd, just like Jo. And Beth. And Meg and Amy (although those two aren't exactly gay).

Marmie: Ultimate Queen in Literally Every Way, Just Like in the Movie. Supports her lovely children in every way she can while still fighting "in her own way," as Beth says, against racism and homophobia/transphobia and gender inequality. I love her so much y'all don't understand. Religious, like Meg, and when her children live at home, she has them go to church with her, but she doesn't force it on them in any way other than that. She simply wants her girls to have good morals and a strong belief in doing what's right.

Sunday nights are dinner at Marmie's when they've all moved out, with Jo and Laurie facetiming in from the city. Beth stays at home with Marmie and helps her run the donation center they founded in their countryside town. Amy studies abroad for college, traveling everywhere she can, calling her dear Marmie every chance she gets and showing her the lovely sights across the world that she gets to see. Meg, like I said, lives in the suburbs with her husband and children, but she travels out to Marmie's house every Sunday. Jo and Laurie probably end up in an open QPR of some sort to make it easier to explain to Laurie's traditionalist family why their son is living with a ~woman~ instead of living in the dorms with the other college boys. Of course, the March father is fine with everything. He’s a supportive king. Marmie wouldn’t have settled for any less.

Reference for the rest of y'all:

And here's the couch:

It was a good day for mischief. Remus and Janus thought so, anyway. They wandered the aisles of St Vinny's hand-in-hand, trailing halfheartedly behind Roman, who had been rambling about hidden treasures and forgotten gems for at least 45 minutes now. 

"I told you he gets like this," Remus muttered to Janus while the latter pawed through the women's XS blouses with disinterest. "But nooo, you just had to see if they had any Tom Waits vinyls."

"Well, what if they did?" Janus said back. "You'd feel pretty stupid then."

"Look at that!" Roman said, still somehow under the assumption that Remus and Janus were hanging onto his every word. He dashed to the end of the aisle and turned.

Here, the Cain instinct took over and Remus leapt after him, dragging Janus along by the hand. "What?" he asked, letting go of Janus and throwing himself bodily at Roman.

The object of Roman's affections was an antique sofa with a shiny wooden frame and bottle-green cushions patterned with ferns. Even Remus had to admit that it was a work of art, from the roses carved into the frame to the intricate stitching on the seams.

Roman threw Remus off without so much as a grunt of effort. "It's beautiful!"

Janus finally caught up with them and bumped Remus with his hip. "Wouldn't that look nice in our living room?" he asked.

Roman butted in, but not before Remus could catch Janus' eye and grin: "No way! You only want it because I said I like it."

Janus shook his head. "No, I'm serious," he insisted. "Our dining room table is made of this exact wood." It wasn't, but Roman had no way of knowing that. He had never paid attention to something as insignificant as his brother's dining room table. "It's oak," Janus continued with authority. It wasn't. To Remus, he said, "I think it's a perfect match-- We'd have to reupholster it, of course."

"Reupholster this beauty?" Roman was already teetering on the verge of shouting, his face a dangerous shade of red.

"Well, yes, obviously it'd have to be cheetah print."

"What?" Roman yelped. He took a deep breath and ran a hand through his hair, trying to picture it. "Cheetah print?"

But to Roman's surprise, Remus chimed in, "We can't do that!"

"Thank you," Roman breathed, doubling over and bracing his hands on his knees. "It's an antique, you can't just--"

"I mean," Remus continued, "it would look terrible."

"Exactly!"

"The rug is already cheetah print; we'd have to do zebra print or it would just clash."

Roman made a strangled, desperate noise in the back of his throat. "You're not seriously going t--" But Janus was already flagging down an employee.

Remus patted Roman on the back, watching him slowly clench and unclench his hands. "It's okay, princess, you can come over and sit on it whenever you want."

"I don't… want…" Roman said through clenched teeth. "You're not seriously going to… You can't!"

"Roman, you're making a scene," Janus said.

"You're talking about ruining a work of art and you want me to not make a scene?" Roman shouted. Tears sparkled in his eyes; he pressed his fingertips to his forehead and squeezed.

Remus couldn't take it anymore. He started to laugh, slapping Roman squarely between the shoulder blades. Janus joined in a moment later, doubling over in a fit of sadistic cackles.  "Holy shit," Remus gasped, "are you crying?"

"No!" Roman wiped his eyes. "You guys are sick."

"Roman, you've--" Janus paused for breath "--been to our apartment. Do we have anything cheetah print?"

"I don't know!" Roman crossed his arms over his chest. "I hate you guys."
