Alastor is a complex character!

Despite being one of the few characters in Hazbin with confirmed identities (his ethnic background and sexual orientation), those identities are in of themselves, complex experiences.

There’s seemingly nothing about the character that is Black or White.

I think that’s why he is such a compelling character! Also, it’s probably one reason why he is such an attractive conduit for folks’ creative expression.

His identities are not necessarily why many people may gravitate towards him, but they do offer a chance for people to investigate him and explore a character—as unique as he is—into avenues they may not have considered before.

I can commiserate with feeling defensive of a character who shares an identity with you—ESPECIALLY an underrepresented one. Discourse is natural and completely fine! (And very educational sometimes in my experience)

But I don’t think it’s fruitful to police a fandom in these matters. Some folks come to my inbox (I delete the really rude ones) or comment sections with a very cop-like attitude to a space that’s supposed to be creative and/or fun *airhorn*

That’s my take as just some guy on the internet 🤓🛜 have a good dayyyyy

Hi Ghost. I read your Robin fic, and I'm wondering if you can recommend other "gay" stories. It's pride, and I'm just not seeing a whole lot out there.

to be completely honest, the only actual queer stories i’ve read in the fandom have been centered around steddie.

because, like you’ve said, there’s not a whole lot out there outside of that.

i’m going to offer up my steddie recs (not steddie x reader but solely steddie, although there are some magnificent steddie x reader fics that include lovely feelings brewing between the boys!!), but also… followers, help some friends out? reblog with some of your favorite queer fics? pretty please?

i would recommend (and most are ao3 recs so be prepared for heavy emotional themes and canon haha):

sticky notes (has been discontinued, but also includes HOH!steve)

heartbreak hotline (includes smut/phone sex)

off the beaten path (challenging the headcanon of eddie knowing he’s gay and steve being clueless - steve realizes he’s gay before eddie does)

keep it steady, eddie (pretty popular amongst steddie fans so you might have heard of it already! includes robin x vickie)

i like to see you in the morning light (fix it fic for canon, where steve was eddie’s alibi when he survives 😌)

and of course, one of my ultimate steddie fic recs and one of my ultimate fic recs for this entire fandom, the lathe. this is the time loop fic for the fandom. i won’t be taking criticism. it made me bawl like a baby and was one of the first major fics i ever read in the fandom. i’ll never sing high enough praise for it. the twists in it are fucking remarkable. it’s just. it’s an experience. also, very popular, and for very good reason.

i would like to note that i haven’t read most of these in a hot minute, so my brief recounts aren’t very helpful probably. also, i know there’s a few notable authors amongst steddie readers, but i only included fics i’ve personally read.

as i said, i’m begging for anyone who sees this who has more queer fic recs to add to do so! i know there’s several in the fandom currently compiling lists as well as there’s been a few robin fics coming across my dash — i just haven’t read them yet! most of my queer fics i’ve gathered from ao3 as you can see lol. in ao3 we trust in this household 🫡

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.

I wrote an Into the White AU fic! :D

(AU context -> X)

(Word count: 542)

Wiggly had never liked the White all that much, even before he’d banished Webby there. The White hurt his eyes, which were so adjusted and adapted to seeing in the Black. There was nowhere to hide among the webs of time. The White made him feel way too exposed; Wiggly already knew that his skin had shifted to an incredibly pale green in an all-around pathetic natural attempt at mimicking his blinding surroundings. He just didn’t like it. He wanted to go back to the Black. He wanted to go back home.

But this was his home now...

Overpowered, overthrown, and in exile: three things which Wiggly would have never thought he’d have been able to apply to himself, and yet, three things which were now true in regards to him. His brothers had betrayed him. They’d cast him out for all of eternity, breaking the crown of coral on his head and hurting him, tearing off one of his face tentacles (not technically that big of a deal; it would grow back in a few weeks, but it was still infuriating). The fools had no idea what they were doing.

Wiggly’s colors shifted again, dark, aggressive stripes flashing dangerously down his back. He was furious. How dare they?! He was their leader! He was their brother! And now he was stuck in the White? Because of them? He hated the White! THOSE “BROTHERS” OF HIS WOULD LIVE TO REGRET THIS DECISION IF HE HAD ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT IT!!!

But he was all alone now...

All at once, his skin went pale again. Pale with fear, Wiggly realized. He wasn’t used to feeling fear. Fear was bad. He couldn’t be feeling fear! The last time he felt fear was when his brothers pushed him out of the Black-

“Wiggly?”

Wiggly froze. He’d been hoping to avoid her for a little longer.

“Hello, Webby,” Wiggly said, his words deliberately terse and forceful to display his displeasure. He refused to look at her.

“What are you doing here?” Webby asked, her voice cautious and curious, “I thought you’d vowed that you’d never step foot in the White again if you could help it?”

“I did, didn’t I?” Wiggly responded, his tone hostile, “And for good reason! It’s much too bright here!”

“You’re dodging the question,” Webby stated, not buying it for a second, “Why are you here, Wiggog? I know how stubborn you are. You wouldn’t be in the White without a good reason. You wouldn’t be talking to me unless something big happened.”

Wiggly could hear the small pitter-pattering of her thin spider legs getting closer to him. He felt the tough exoskeleton outside of one of her leg-arms touch his face, and he was surprised when he didn’t feel himself resist the gentle push on the side of his head she did in order to turn his gaze to her (and when one of his face tentacles instinctively curled itself gently around Webby’s extended appendage-). Her many black spider eyes gazed upon his fur and tentacle-covered face with pity and sincerity. She’d no doubt seen his missing face-tentacle and the broken crown on his head. He must have looked absolutely pathetic. A strong wave of shame washed over Wiggly.

“What did our brothers do to you?”

one thing about me is that my jjk au ideas are never ending

[antirepurp]

i feel like the ancients in frontiers bother me but im having a hard time pinning down the exact specifics of it. i don't think i have a problem with them being an alien ancient civilization, but the execution of them feels kind of. generic. beyond the implied connection to chaos that is. the echidnas were portrayed as warmongering and power hungry, likely due to their leadership, and they have an interesting position as a part of knuckles' heritage when knuckles is in several ways the exact opposite of their ideals - a peaceful guardian who seeks to preserve and not to conquer. the ancients in boom were left vague due to the dev hell and the repeat rewrites of the story, but in some ways it does them favors i'd say. they are a looming presence upon bygone island, their history scattered about and left to be rediscovered. supposedly a peaceful society sans lyric, who was able to cause havoc and destruction perhaps because the rest of his people did not have something like an army to fight back immediately. lyric was the only one who had any sort of ties to military concepts. the cartoon gives the ancients impressive technology, but i can't recall it being too much more than just fun machines whose primary purposes were along the lines of transportation and entertainment. i think those sort of implications make the ancients more interesting than they perhaps could've been if they were given some kind of obvious and explicit military history.

the frontiers' ancients feel like some kind of unsuccessful middle ground of those concepts i think? we are directed to see them as the peaceful underdogs while they also have a massive military presence and horrific tools of war that we fight directly over the course of the game, that we Require super sonic to bring down. i understand that at least some of that arsenal was built to fight the end, but then you juxtapose that advanced and destructive technology with the seemingly rural architecture littering the islands that, unlike the titans, has rotted and decayed in the face of nature. is that not supposed to speak of their priorities as society? or were their stay at the islands always supposed to be temporary? but then why build something like the cyberspace which is very much connected to the islands themselves?

i don't know maybe im missing something, maybe i've been thinking about the portrayal of military forces in sonic too hard lately, it just bothers me that the ancients are simultaneously supposed to be both a competent and strong military presence which the DLC only amplifies, and a peaceful society that would never even think about doing anything other than defend themselves with that destructive military they've built for themselves

Percy reads up on Thanatos, just goes better safe than sorry ig, idk how he feels about my weekly-at-best near death experiences, while Thanatos is absolutely delighted about his adorable demigodly friend, who keeps giving him offerings for literally no reason but is rather consistent in them, meanwhile Poseidon is 100% sure Percy is sassing DEATH, Son WHYY and Hades finally gets some damn entertainment over Thanatos&Poseidon both ranting to him, about percy, in very different understandings of the situation at hand

Percy is carefully studying the beliefs and myths of Thanatos, Thanatos is delighted. He has a new best friend. Poseidon is so stressed, he needs a drink.

Poseidon is this close to outright threatening Thanatos and Hades is just getting both of these sides and actually investigating and trying not to cackle, he clears nothing up.

Just saw some really fun tail bondage art, as in restraints used on a characters tail not someone restrained by a tail, and man it’s a concept I love every time

It’s basically a built in extra hard point/tension point that you can do all kinds of fun rigging with

So the one reason to go to Arkansas is to drive through a town named "Flippin," where everything sounds like a euphemism. Flippin Fire Dept. Flippin School. Flippin Police. Etc.

While that does sound charming, I don't know that justifies a trip to Arkansas

[ferrarininja]

After much searching, I’ve applied to an apartment! Nothing like waiting until almost midnight to take action lol

Let’s pray it goes through, but even if it doesn’t I know God has my back with this
