Trust me, Donald Duck would've beat the shit out of Stella and Andrealphus for being so obnoxiously cartoonishly evil

[yakksalot]

the way that laios is consistently misconstrued by the people in his life within his own story and then the wider fandom sees this following up by doing the exact same behavior (mischaracterizing him to death, seeing him as a disturbed freak, frequently underestimating him etc) only proves the validity of his strongly coded autism more than one could imagine

I'm with you there on preferring bottom!Alastor and getting squicked out by top!Alastor. The squick is worse for me when searching radioapple than radiostatic stuff, and I think it has more to do with the egregious amount of uke-fication of Lucifer that I've seen. Vox and Al get it sometimes too, let's be real that's gonna happen in any mlm ship. But I feel like it happens SO often to Lucifer, mostly cause he's small and cute, that people completely forget he's the oldest and most powerful entity in hell.

He would NOT be genuinely scared or intimidated by Al or any other sinner for that matter and Al would NOT be able to physically overpower or threaten Luci. It just feels so wildly out of character for me that any of the appeal of the ship/characters is gone at that point.

Like, for real, no shade to anyone that likes that, go on and get your food. But my extreme dislike of it has me now avoiding bottom!Lucifer radioapple like the plague just so I don't risk being subjected to it.

I think...I think you just described why I feel so squicked out by bottom!Lucifer and top!Alastor 😦 Like, I couldn't figure out what exactly about it was throwing me off, but you just said it perfectly!!

That's literally it! It's the uke-fication of Lucifer. That's it. Lucifer would never feel threatened by Alastor. He would never be overpowered by Alastor. So when I see depictions of Alastor successfully intimidating Lucifer, or overpowering him at all, it just throws me out of the story.

Lucifer's been alive longer than Hell. Alastor's measely 100+ years of being alive is nothing compared to his millennia+ lifespan. And yeah, Lucifer is the strongest person in Hell, he could beat Alastor in any fight, no question. He has no reason to be scared or threatened by him.

And look, there are ways to get Lucifer to a point of being afraid. There are always a way to make characters act in a way you wouldn't typically see. In fact, Lucifer, the biggest, baddest person in Hell, being threatened by something would be a huge thing for his character and for the story. That could totally work!

But when it comes from Alastor just going into his demon form, or looming over Lucifer, I just 🥲 it takes me out of the story. I can't. Alastor may be a big bad Overlord, and he's dangerous for sure, but like...power-wise he is just not on Lucifer's level and Lucifer knows that--Alastor knows that--and this is what makes their dynamic so, SO interesting, especially if they're in a relationship or slowly building into a relationship. That's what makes it so spicy and flavorful. The push and pull. The insecurity and emotion. The complex dynamic between them.

I think you're right about it making bottom!Lucifer and top!Alastor lose its appeal. I went back through my Twitter bookmarks yesterday and found a few top!Alastor's & bottom!Lucifer's that I've saved, but I've come to dislike that generalized characterization of it so much that I avoid it it like the plague too.

And like you said, there's no hate to those who enjoy it. This is fandom and people are allowed to write, draw, and do what they want. It's all fiction and it's not hurting anyone.

I just don't like the top!Alastor & bottom!Lucifer dynamic in most fan-arts, and I don't click onto fics with it cause I just don't want to subject myself to an unenjoyable time 😂 I'm here to have fun too, afterall.

By all you hold sacred—by all you hold dear—by your love that is lost—by your hope that lives—for the sake of the Almighty, take me out of this and save my soul from guilt! Can't you hear me, man? Can't you understand? Will you never learn? Don't you know that I am sane and earnest now; that I am no lunatic in a mad fit, but a sane man fighting for his soul? Oh, hear me! hear me! Let me go! let me go! let me go!

Tell me how in the hell Jonathan could just stand there and listen to this. Especially those last few words. Crying for help to an uncaring audience, swearing he's not insane, that he's fighting desperately to save his own soul. Begging someone to hear him, to let him out.

I don't care if he's full of energy now. His trauma is not gone and he should absolutely have seen his past self in Renfield here. He should have spoken up on his behalf - at least to have him moved elsewhere, at least to give him something if not his full freedom.

“Tenzin, please don’t take your robe off.”

Pema felt the tension in her chest tighten as his almost vacant eyes stared ahead, his hands interrupted in their task. 

“Tenzin, please sit down,” she said, pulling down on his shoulder. He was still so much taller that she often had a hard time getting him to sit down. Bumi was able to press him down, and Tenzin would listen to his brother. 

She was just his wife.

The mix of guilt and aggravation weighed on her. She knew that he wasn’t being contrary out of any motivation. He had never treated her poorly, never dismissed or belittled her.

It was more like he couldn’t understand what she was saying.

She sighed.

That small noise seemed to rouse him a little, and he started pulling at the folds of his robes again. Trying to swallow her grumbles, she laid a hand on his, hoping to catch his attention.

The intonation of his voice sounded like, “It’s time to go,” but none of the words sounded right.

She lifted her hand to his cheek.

He blinked several times, looked at her, and smiled brightly.

It was the twinkle in his eye that broke her.

She gently pulled against his neck, and he bent to give her a chaste kiss.

Pema pressed their foreheads together, and pushed him to sit back on his bed.

“Wait here.”

With that, she fled out into the hallway.

Once outside, she leaned a shoulder against the wall, her hands and arms curling against her body. She pressed her hands to her face, where the tears were already falling. 

Tenzin, the towering master airbender, was hunched and quiet. The man who could name the Seventy Respected Men and the Western Wise Women (in order, which she had never accomplished) sometimes didn’t even respond to his own name. The husband who had held her through lonely nights before Jinora was born and after Rohan had moved away simply sat there, staring through the window, his mind slowed almost to a standstill.

It was as if he had died inside but not outside.

The grief overwhelmed her.

She shook, berating herself all the while for her reaction. They had known for years that his mind was failing. They had been caretakers for several older acolytes whose bodies had forgotten to die.

She had known this was coming.

But spirits it hurt to see him like this. It hurt so much.

“I can’t stand it!”

Lin, her body told her before her before her conscious mind realized what was going on.

Lin’s hand on her back pulled, and she fell forward against their wife’s chest, still shaking.

It was awkward and uncomfortable, them both leaning against the stone wall, hoping no one would come up and try to talk to them. They shifted, and Lin’s cane crashed to the floor.

They started, but Lin just gripped her harder, pulling her close and rubbing her back.

The door behind Pema opened. She stiffened, but Lin pressed against the back of her head to keep her from straightening. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists.

“Hello, Tenzin. Did you wonder where we were?”

Pema could hear the whisper of Tenzin’s slippers as he approached. Then his presence draped over them both, his arms encircling them.

“Don’t cry,” came his raspy voice. “I can’t stand it.”

What Stede says: What are you gonna do tonight? What Stede means: Hey maybe could we please just keep breathing the same air?

What Ed says: I don't know, maybe I'll just crash in the trees or something. What Ed means: Please don't leave, I just want to be with you.

What Stede says: I could put it to the crew, and if you wanted to stay one more night on the ship... What Stede means: Wanna sleep over on my fancy ship? 👉👈

What Ed says: yes. What Ed means: ❤️❤️❤️❤️YES❤️❤️❤️❤️
