[emilicious0]

lucifer x f!reader who's like a mother figure to charlie

(pls tell me if you want me to write more of this or more for this man)

□ you died in 1920 after avenging your son's murder and then taking your own life

□ you stumbled across the hotel by accident and decided to step inside out of pure curiosity. you heard that this hotel "rehabilitated sinners" but never really thought of going in because all the hope you had was lost a long time ago

□ at that time, only charlie and vaggie were there, and they were very welcoming

□ despite you being a powerful sinner with the ability to control minds, you avoided using it due to your personal beliefs, which is why you never became an overlord even though you could have

□ you never felt like hell was your place to stay, feeling alone with no one to trust or call a friend

□ when you met charlie and heard her ideas, you started to believe in a much brighter future and even hoped to rehabilitate yourself

□ over time, you and charlie grew closer, and as a former mother, you began to think of her as your daughter.

□ charlie also started to see you as a mother figure, though she still loved lilith

□ you became a mother figure to the whole crew, earning respect even from alastor to some extent, angel dust really missed a parent-like figure in his life

□ when Charlie invited her father over, you were a bit worried about whether he would notice your mother-daughter relationship with charlie and how he might react, given that she still had a mother

◇◇◇

□ after lucifer excitedly greeted his daughter, he noticed you immediately (after the strange red deer demon he didn't like but still).

□ you had a strong yet soft aura, with a beautifu smile on your face (which was rather nervous, but he didn't notice cause he is smitten)

□ everything about you made him feel butterflies in his stomach again, and the strange tingly feeling started to creep up in his chest

□ after charlie's introduction, you held out your hand: "it's an honor to meet you, sir."

□ lucifer began stumbling over his words, his face red all of a sudden "o-oh, yeah! ha-ha! thank you, beautiful! I mean, not beautiful! wait, no, ha-ha, you are beautiful, but that is not what I meant, ha-ha."

□ you smiled, noticing the resemblance between him and charlie and how genuienly sweet the ruler of hell seems

□ meanwhile lucifer is facepalming himself trying to figure out what to do with his new found crush

!📺✨Vox✨📺!

When you first admitted what you did that counted as a “sin” he was flabbergasted! He thought they must’ve made a mistake. All be it one that was in favor since he got to be damned with you. But still!

Out of every monster known to man kind one who’ve committed acts that are despicable. You, one who can barely hurt a damn fly get sent with them?

At first he thought you were genuinely just joking. And he actually laughed! Like audible chuckled before waiting for the actual reason, which never came, and he soon realized you were being serious!

He always questioned why you use to refuse to kill, or at least scare people into respect. But then you explained how you refused to be like the rest of the sinners.

He utterly dumb founded you made it this far without spilling a bit of blood, at least for survival!

He becomes more overprotective as if he wasn’t before, good luck with that!

Cause now he knows your rules, he knows you won’t budge. Nothing would get you to change your mind. So he made sure to keep eyes on you 24/7, you may be nice, but the other sinners in this damned place definitely aren’t. And he knows that from experience

Would neither confirm or deny he put a small tracker in an item you carry every where.

This man has enemy’s as you’ve seen, demons, overlords, rival company’s, it’s a headache an a half for him. Not that he hates protecting you and your values! No never!, but the nerve of the people who think they even have a chance to lay a hand on you.

Gives you the lastest phone from his series, and yes he will text you and blow up ur phone up if he can see you through cameras around the city.

Even if you put it on silent he wouldn’t put behind himself to over load it and just show up on your phone screen.

Sometimes he’s just so confused how you can be so nice, or at worst passive to those who are poking at you. He thinks your a saint, even if you aren’t, an maybe you have a short temper still the way you hold yourself form blowing up is astonishing!

Sometimes he jokes about how if you were to go to Charlie you would be redeemed in a day. And at night sometimes he thinks about it and it scares him to know there’s a possibility for you to go where he will probably never be able to follow you too

He loves you to the depths and the crooks of hell, and he’ll be damned again if he lets anyone hurt you. He sees you as a small soft light in the red cover world, and he will do anything before anyone can put out that light.

He makes sure to keep a good distance between you and Val, a BIG distance.

He’s always on the edge about people around you, how can’t he? He can’t trust all these “disgusting and repulsive” sinners in hell around you. The thought alone cringes him out and stresses him.

He knows to some degree he isn’t exactly better then them sin wise, but he makes sure to do his best for you while infornt of you, he cares about his image, and wouldn’t be afraid to scare someone into discipline. BUT he will tone it down, just for you ♥(⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝)♥

He has you under wraps, from the public eye in this case. As much as he’s one to show off his earnings, he loves you a little to much and knows well people will use you as a advantage. He loves to show off but you something just for him behind close doors for now before he can work something out

NOW if the public were to already know, he show off by showing how untouchable you were, demons knew better to approach you seeing as how fast he is to get rid of those stupid enough to try something.

Overall he respects your morals of not wanting to stoop as low as other sinners. But it dose make him more protective of you, your like a rare gem. There’s only a handful of people like you, and even then the numbers decrees daily, so he dose his most to make sure you safe and happy <3

ఌ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ఌ

!🎙️✨Alastor✨🎙️!

Like Vix he humors it at first! Playing around with it before Laughing with his usual staticky voice as he stared at you with his unnerving smile. You guys quite literally stared at each other for a hot minute waiting for the other to say something.

It took you clearing your throat for him to realize you weren’t just trying to get a chuckle outta him.

And for the first time since you met him you caught a hint of confusion, making you explain that it was genuinely what you did.

He quite literally burst out laughing, you, someone who probably did something everyone did once is in this horrid place stuck with the horrid monsters ever! Just for that single act alone.

He will admit he found it a bit amusing how you refused to kill or lay a hand on anyone. Refusing to stoop to other people’s levels. Now that for him is pure gold of entreatment! He’s seen people like you, say the same exact thing then crumble when backed I to a Corner.

But for the first time, for all the decades he’s been damned here, he’s seen you stick to what you’ve stated. You were very much quite a spectacle!

Now finding new amusement, he decided to protect you, cause someone like you were sure to be a one time experience. Aside from loving you of course

Now with your name being accosted with him alone is a shield in if its self. Barely any one approached you, aside from those playing with their afterlives of course.

If you ever feel a looming shadow or presence it’s most likely one of his shadows. Like Vox he is gonna have his eyes on you almost always

Although he loves you he will play around to get a reaction out of you. All for the fun of it!, he knows you cringe when he talks about his cannibalism tendencies he just loves seeing your cute little face scrunch up!

Even though with all of that he is a gentleman and will make sure no one is to bother you.

He’s quite impressed you made it this far without getting killed, I mean of course you have him but if you arrived to hell and didn’t met him immediately he’d be quite impressed and surprised one you both do meet

He indulges himself in the horrible aspects of hell, with no remorse or shame what so ever either. So although he dose respect your wishes he won’t stop or calm down his tendencies.. （；へ：）but on the bright side he’ll make sure your far away or he goes off to other part of the city and do whatever he wishes. But your likely to see on the news either way… (￣▽￣💧

He dose enjoy the more civil and nice talks he has with you though! He finds it nice to take a break from all the crude talk on the street from other sinners and have a nice conversation!

Great listener let me tell you, he’ll happily sit there as you explain your day away! He honestly enjoys hearing you genuinely happy!, although his a chatter box himself but he enjoys listening to you more then anyone or anything else!

Watches you be nice to the most repulsive, and rude demon like it’s nothing. Even when disrespected you find a way to calm down the situation and nicely at that. Of course the demon doesn’t live long once their out of your sight, but still! He’s pleasantly surprised.

He finds it rather weird that your nice just for the sake of being nice but still it’s definitely a nice refresher from all the horrible people down in hell!

You catch his eye rather quickly with how you stick out from others (in a good way! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ) and his eyes end up on you, you mainly have all his attention almost always if he isn’t off doing something!, your his light just live Vox he’ll make sure you’ll shine bright as ever and won’t go out.

Not everyone can catch it but in some rare moments he’ll be seen just staring at you as you happily talk away to Charlie. And for the smallest second you can see his unnerving smile turn into a soft smirk, eyes only on you and his mind filled with only you. This happens on the regular, it’s just he’s quick to cover up so no one sees!

Overall he loves you, even with some differences between your views he’ll still do his best to make you comfortable. Aside from teasing you here and there! But other then that he’ll protect you, your one of kind. And he loves having things no one else can.

[barblaz-arts]

Hi Barb

I seen your snippet and I have to say I look forward to it since not only you are a great artist but also a talented writer ! I wish something like this happened in the future (cannon).

Charlie jealous of the Carmines because she have Vaggie alone for around four years till the Carmines show up and take Vaggie away from her(not most of the time but still ) I mean she is an only child of powerful and richest being she have her things alone and spoils even when she move out of her parents place and spent her time alone she got Vaggie who also spoils her but not that much spoils compared to her parents since Vaggie have common sense and I headcanon that Vaggie discipline Charlie for years since they are together .

Imagine, you with yours girlfriend for ages you found her secret the she kept from you since the beginning now both of you make up and your bond is stronger than before but now her space is wider and have room for more people not only you and she spends less time with you because she give her time to others that she admire and found. Also she seems happy and more alive.

Charlie is a princess but She is a Hell’s Princess. She may better than people in both Hell and Heaven but she still a demon.

To be fair, I think Carmilla and Vaggie both have a lot of things in common (from my perspective I always open for another opinion I like to read yours since you don’t jump into the conclusion that Lilith is evil like some people here )

1.Both of them are Latina

Maybe came from different countries but still have Spanish(español) as their first language I can imagine if they are speaking in the heat or argument or a discussion they would speak in Spanish and nobody understands what the heck did they just say? also as someone that not having English as my first language talking in my language is help me expressing more than English specially when I let my emotions speak. I believe the same thing would happen to Vaggie and The Carmines. Maybe in the short time , She would open up to them more and quicker than Charlie or the crews.

2. Both of them are the worst liar.

In episode 3, I am certain that most of people in the room know Camilla was the one who killed that Exorcist look at her reaction in the meeting they just don’t know how. And Vaggie said that she herself is the worst’s liar .The only reason she can kept her secret that long because the person she live with is Charlie(Who don’t have a good observing skill and not the best as Zestial at confronting someone to give them answers ). I know Vaggie never lie to Charlie but she also not telling her girlfriend the whole truth which is still wrong , I guess.

3. Both of them are the Keeper and the Protector.

They have someone they love dearly and is their first priority if the threat comes to them ; Carmilla : Odette,Clara > Herself, Vaggie : Charlie > the Crew >…..>Herself(I think Vaggie will probably protect civilians or children and put herself in the bottom of a pyramid because she’s an Angel also a soldier that have common sense to serve and protect people not Country.

4. Both of them are Dancer .

I want more of their screen time in episode seven. Vaggie can follow Camilla after she gets herself together.

5.Respect.

I’m not sure about Latin’s Culture about respect someone that older like Asian . I think Vaggie quite a well mannered person and respectful but it’s something that need to earned form her.

She don’t trust Alastor and his actions since theirs first impression I would say completely disaster. ( She may give him more respect after episode 8 since he fought with them)

About this makes me think if Vaggie meet Zestial when she visits Carmilla she going to like him . Zestial have little screen time but He show us that he’s a gentlemen that respect people boundaries even though he quite a gossip (He’s cute) but if he is someone that the Carmines open up for He maybe the first man that Vaggie feel comfort to be around (about Lucifer,that her father girlfriend and a king of Hell it might be awkward at first but they will get along in different ways)

She called Carmilla ‘Miss Carmine’ I know before She enter to Carmine’s compound she blackmailed her to enter but hey! they get along now.

6. Weapons and Training

I think Vaggie like exercise and enjoy training it’s healthy if you not use it for killing souls once a years. Even she in hell she still training (look at her shape and how she parkour) but she don’t have someone to duel with her that can point her mistake like Camilla (sometimes Clara or Odette )maybe that how they bound .

I can see Vaggie stop by at the Carmines place because she want someone to duel with(there is another word but I forgot) with people who can improve herself to be better.

Camilla is a business woman so when she busy she might send hers daughters to send the angel off but instead three of them bond and ‘play’ together (play: weapons test , duel , Vaggie being a 1st Angel Subject and test what Angel can do etc.)

In conclusion, we need Vaggie and The Carmines bonding time and Charlie being jealous in the background.

Thank you, Sorry for rambling.

It will be more,I promise.

P.S. here’s the sketch that describes my view about this (Also I have writing a some comic but I’m quite busy If you want more context or more sketches feel free to ask because I would love to share 😂)

The bit about Carmilla and Vaggie both being terrible liars sure is interesting. I never considered that!

Their relationship seems to have always been planned to be quite important, if this previous concept for a Ball Episode is anything to go by("Maxine" looks a lot like a prototype version of Carmilla)

I'd love it if they could bond more in the next seasons.

I love the idea of Charlie getting jealous of Carmilla too but for like the wrong reasons. Just to reference the fact that Vaggie and Carmilla's voice actors previously played lovers for In The Heights. It would be so funny.

And omg those sketches are adorable! What a cute art style!

[labyrinthofsphinx]

Hello! So, I was wondering, can we see the first time Vox realized that Alastor actually, truly trusted him? How did Vox react?

See, this is a really hard one to do without an explanation so, yeah:

There wasn't 'a moment' that they realized that they just...trusted each other. It was more of a compounding thing. Like, just from being partners in crime, they've already put their lives in each other's hands countless times. At some point, they'd turn around and realize that 'hey, wait, when did I stop checking over my shoulder? Oh, yeah, because my partner is there' but by that point they've been doing it for so long that they kinda don't think about it?

Vox inherently just put his life in Alastor's hands. Vox trusts at 100% or 0%, very much a ride or die. If Al was going to off him, he'd have no better opportunity than when they first became partners. So, in a sense, letting him live was already an indication of trust from Alastor, which means that Vox trusts him 100%.

It's the other stuff that'd be more noticeable, a different indication of trust. Again, though that was a steady build-up: the first time Al let him meet Rosie, the first time he was invited over the house, the first time Al let himself actually get drunk with Vox around, the first time Al initiated touching Vox (as seen here, albeit in metaphor form).

Trust, for Al, is earned. Every single step has to be proven, especially when it comes to things he keeps close to the chest. Any time that he lets Vox step a little closer, Vox notices. And there's still things that Al doesn't trust anyone with...but Vox just seems to inherently know. But he doesn't overstep his boundaries. He knows Al doesn't want to peel open his heart in that respect, even with Vox.

If anything, that might be the biggest indicator of trust, when something happens, Al doesn't want that boundary crossed and he trusts Vox to respects his wishes.

So, in a sense, he always knew Al trusted him. In a different sense, he still has to prove he's worthy of that trust.

And he has never disappointed him. Not once.

Al himself is much more likely to have those moments where he steps back and says 'when did this happen'? Because it's only after you've traveled far enough down the road that you turn around and realize just how far you've come.

....Alllll that said, there will be a time in the future that Al will do something that will jump...more than a few steps for him. Like, Al is uncomfortable, but he doesn't know he is because, well, it's Vox? He should be comfortable with this by now...right? Then, it's up to Vox to realize that Al's rushing himself, and he has to stand his ground on that...even if he doesn't necessarily want to.

[trashc-anon]

hazbin hotel is polluting my mind so if I were the editor's intern: reco

• either stretch the season into 16 episodes or cut the plotlines in half;

• definitaly cut Alastor's screen time in half (if not more)

• make up your mind how much of the pilot is canon (especially regarding Lucifer)

• episode 1 is good as is, a soft reboot from the pilot without getting in too much detail and I love hating Adam, "Hell is Forever" is banger (i hope the music writers were properly paid and Disney learns why AI is a bad idea!)

• episode 2 is a problem, because Sir Pentious presence is only because of the V's, make that episode 2/2;

• ep 1/2 - Charlie and Vaggie leave the hotel to recruit; Sir Pentious attacks, all on schedule

• Charlie or Vaggie save some of the eggs from being crushed; when the "battle" is over, Pentious is cautiosly agrees to entertain their hospitalty; angel is untrusting;

• "Starts with Sorry"

• leave the Vs as unseen foes, and Alastor's only appearance is his shadow at the end of the episode (Overlords are mysterious unseen threat)

• episode 2/2 - Vs are anxious that Alastor is with the princess;

• see, the first couple of episodes make sense, but they take away from the girls and the hotel

• but "Stayed Gone" is sooo good! maybe use at a later date?

nevermind

• "Stayed Gone" is a fun song, BUT it doesn't make sense for Alastor, mysterious serial killer, to have childish rivalries; why didn't he kill Vox back when he rejected him and Vox got 'pissy'?

• either make Vox less pathetic or less there;

• soooo, episode 3/1 is would be trust exercises

• i actually liked Angel's plan with BDSM, he's not wrong and I wished he had the chance to be an adult that LIKES sex separate from the victim that uses overtsexuality as a defence mechanism

• each character could have their own moment to show what trust means to them; trust comes in different shades;

• between Angel and Maggie we see sexual intimacy and surviving extreme situations; Husk has issues with openess; Niffty with intrusive thoughts;

• IN FACT! actually stablish WHY Husk and Niffty are part of the exercises! they're not guests, Husk says as much, they are employees LOANED by Alastor; they're not there to earn redemption; *vague hand gesture in confusion*

• OKAY - Overlord meeting... ehhhhhh

• i still want to cut Alastor's screentime! whats the point of the meeting? screentime for the overlords, the dead angel (which we know, but main cast won't until episode 7) Carmila being responsible is important, we need to know who to ask for help, but ugh. I get its also, prelude that you need love to fight and win against angels, but its never stablished in canon, Carmila says it to Maggie to use as internal compass to keep her fighting beyond pain and fear; bloodlust is distracting, love is focused;

• my delight with Zestial being all dark and yummy need to take a hike for the sake of - what am i even doing any more?

• I can't help but think how much of these decision are also based on Voice Actor salaries; because Keith David (Husk) gotta be expensive and for a character that is literaly always presented he almost never talks; and just, ALL of them being expensive and ~ahahah better make fewer episodes if you want big names in your projects~

• ughhhh that's when you know a series has issues, when trying to fix you run into a thousand more problems;

• i would respect how much they put into 8 episodes, ONLY IF it's true they didn't know they would get season 2. Because in that case a bunch of these plot lines needed to be dropped, I don't care how fanfavorite the character is;

• the Vs serve no purpose what so ever, you can easily have Valentino as a lone villain (also less confusion about hells social rules about SA and abuse);

• Lucifer should've been the last big name to enter screen; work up to the trial with Heaven for S2E01 (why even a trial)

• just how PLOT heavy is this series that Viv needed Lilith's bomb to drop in season 1? which is a major inconsistancy for a series based on the theme of redemption, a CHARACTER heavy theme;

• as it is, i don't see how Sir Pentious being redeemed is a good thing, because he died before entering Heaven, so other souls need to die too and hope it's not forever? wouldn't that fuel Exterminators cause to kill in name of 'clensing'? (holy shit, the more I write the worse it gets)

• IS there an primordial EVIL to scare the angels so badly?

• omg I hope they won't try to bring actual GOD into the series; I know there is concept art floating around, but please, do not;

• Supernatural barely got away with it in Season 5 because it was a funny 'what if' and made it got bad in Season 10 (?) (no series should ever emulate Supernatural, its a warning I mean it, don't, not worth it, you don't have 10+ years of dead horse to beat)(the fans, me, stayed out of, idk, regretfull loyalty)

• my english is not good enough for this... KAY IM DONE NOW! BYEEEE

[spidersins]

Alastor has left a note in Angel's room, along with a small set of keys.

Angel, It has become clear to me that from time to time you may need a safety net, an escape to fall-back on. While this is not something I would commonly do, I offer you one of the guest rooms at my townhouse outside of Cannibal Town. Most of the locals are too afraid to go near it, and there are protective wards to prevent intruders should someone be so bold. I ask that no guests are brought over without permission, my office be undisturbed, and my personal effects be left alone. And above all, do not go into the basement, for your own sake. The larger key is the front door, and the smaller key is for the guest room, which you are free to use as needed. Though his belongings are stored away for safekeeping, that room was also where another young friend of mine would escape to on occasion, and I expect his space to be respected. I understand that rules and structure are not necessarily "your thing", but I offer you safety and a break from Charlie's tedious and childish little therapy games as well as safety from the Vs. Vox has proven that he would not debase himself to use the old TV in the sitting room to spy on me, and at this point I'm fairly certain it no longer works anyway. If you choose not to accept this offer, I trust you will please return my keys, else I shall retrieve them myself. -A.

the note crackled slightly in angel's hands as he unfolded it, the parchment heavier than expected. of course alastor would use something that felt like it belonged in an antique desk drawer. his eyes skimmed over the meticulous penmanship, the others words managing to be both irritatingly formal and somehow comforting in their oddity.

he leaned against the edge of his dresser, legs crossed at the ankles, eyes drifting over the page as he reread it a third time.

a guest room. a safehouse. a gift from the fucking radio demon himself.

angel scoffed under his breath, but it came out softer than he meant it to, the sound catching in his throat as a slow unfamiliar flutter settled in his chest. warm and irritating. he tries to roll it away with a shrug, but it stays.....this soft ache, this thing like affection. though calling it that was something he would never do. after all, it was alastor, and nothing was ever simple with the overlord.

no matter he was offering.

his gaze lingered on the part about the “young friend.” another soul who had once needed shelter, it seemed. another mystery in alastor’s ever growing collection of half-kept secrets. that curious itch prickled at the back of his mind....who had it been? what had they needed refuge from? did it find him? what had alastor done for them that had earned that kind of guarded remembrance?

and maybe, just maybe, a soft voice in the back of his mind asked what it meant that angel was being offered the same?

the rules , of course there are rules. don’t bring guests, don’t touch his precious office, don’t go into the basement. he rolls his eyes at that last one. don’t go into the basement, as if saying it wouldn’t spark every damn ounce of curiosity angel’s got in his corrupted soul. a brief memory flickered in the back of his mind of a story from when he was young. a forbidden room. a bloodied key. corpses of wives who'd peeked where they were told not to. blackbeard maybe? a shiver rolled up his spine, featherlight but undeniable. he snorted softly, shaking his head like he could rattle the thought loose. he wants to push it, wants to throw open every door just to spite the power alastor thinks he holds, of the authority he was trying to have over him. it's instinct, a part of his very being, a twitch in his spine, an itch in his fingers.

but…he wouldn't. he knew he wouldn't. for reasons he couldn’t quite name. maybe it was the reverence in the letter. maybe it was the way he wrote about charlie’s therapy sessions, the way he dismissed them with venomous amusement, as if he understood, truly understood, just how suffocating it could be to be someone like angel in such a place, in a way the others, not even husk didn't seem to. maybe it was the way alastor had offered this place without demanding anything in return. maybe it was just…nice. and that was weird enough on its own.

he could party wherever he wanted. he could fuck, drink and snort, anywhere else in pride ( though he did notice the lack of ban on drugs ). but this space...this could be something else. something just for him.

a space without anyone. not even cherri.

there was a pause as he thought of his best friend, and the way that her last apartment ended up riddled with bullets before being set alight by one of her cocktails.

ok, especially not cherri.

looking down at the keys resting in his palm, he lets his fingers run across them absentmindedly, the metal warm from where he’s held them too long. the larger one is ornate, the smaller one feels more personal. more important, somehow.

he exhaled slowly, the corners of his lips tilting upwards in a smile, fond and unguarded as he tucked the keys away.

❛ thanks smiles ❜ he says softly, the words meant for no one but the empty room.

[foxxxtransformer123]

Alastor headcanons that nobody asked for, but I'm putting them out here anyway.

I have a lot of thoughts about this man, so this will be broken into multiple parts.

This one will be on relationships

With all of that out of the way, onto the fun part:

1. It is very, very hard to earn his trust and break through all of his walls and actually get respected as an almost equal. There's really only been 2 people in his long existence to get to this point: Rosie and Vox. Vox bungled it very badly.

Nifty fits into this category only a bit because she's more along the lines of his gremlin daughter.

If you manage to get to the point of friend with him, well, you've managed something incredible, and your prize is an extremely loyal cryptid who would both kill and die for you in and honestly would be more like the cat you found behind the dumpster who has behavioral issues and only tolerates your existence and no one else's than a friend. (The cat ends up being an eldritch monstrosity that will eat the neighborhood bully for you).

FRIENDSHIP FOR HIM IS ALL OR NOTHING

Good job Vox, you sure fucked up. (Honestly, I think both of them had a part to play in the end of that relationship, I will go more in-depth later on my theories of what happened there).

2. Alastor hates touch unless he initiates it. That is Canon. But, his friends like Rosie can freely touch him. If he isn't feeling up to touch on a particular day, he will compromise by simply being close but not touching. Some days, he is feeling really cuddly, but that's rare.

He will often be seen walking around town with Rosie or, in the past, Vox, usually arm in arm or hand in hand. People often mistake them as a couple because of their closeness and familiarity.

Cheek kisses are a love language for him, mainly because of Rosie.

3. The ultimate displays of trust from the Radio Demon are him doing normal people things around you like: taking off his shoes or coat, sleeping, and taking a shower while you're in the building.

Honestly, just getting him to tolerate your existence is a victory.

4. He does kind of view Charlie like a daughter, but he's actively trying to beat that feeling into submission with a broom (and losing). He very much has the parental instincts (which he hates) and would be the kind of person to randomly adopt your unattended child if he didn't just barely tolerate other people. He has to actively beat those feelings back.

Nifty is the exception.

5. A friendship with him would feel kind of like a romantic relationship. He's over at their place visiting a lot of the time to the point of cooking and doing chores or having Nifty do chores. He'll often spend days or weeks living at his friends' places. He'll leave for errands and work and such, but he'll be back by the end of the day and will cook dinner and do the dishes. He often sleeps in the same bed as his friends (I will get into that more in a later post).

As mentioned before: friendship is an all or nothing sort of thing for him. He will go all in on his favorite people.

Alright, now we have the sex and romance part:

He is canonicaly AroAce. We don't have confirmation on were on the spectrum he is, so here are my thoughts:

He isn't interested in romance in the slightest. His close friendships are all he's interested in. He will fake a romantic relationship if it results in something he wants.

He has a very complicated relationship with sex. He has a lot of trauma surrounding it (which he tries to ignore). He has little to no interest in sex with another person unless it will gain him something, and even then, he will exhaust all other options or simply decide that whatever it is isn't worth it.

Ace people can have a wide range in their libido. For me, it's rather low usually, but other people have a wide range from normal to very low.

I think Alastor is probably on the lower end but not totally non-existent.

Porn is uncomfortable for him, and he never uses it. He also hasn't experimented with his preferences much.

I do think he might have had sex at least once or twice out of curiosity, but it's not all that it's cracked up to be, so he doesn't bother.

He actively supports sex workers and porn actors. It's just a job to him.

Despite being behind the times in pretty much everything, he has surprisingly modern views of gender and the like.

He hasn't ever gotten the hate for LGBTQ+ people even if he doesn't understand the new terms. He doesn't care about gender and shit.

Just dress how you want and don't bother him. Kiss whoever you want and don't bother him. That's about it.

That's all I have for now and I need to be at work in 5 hours so I'm going to bed.

Not that this would ever happen, but I've thought about it many a few times

Previously, I've headcanoned that the definition of an overlord has changed over Hell's history: previously, an overlord was someone who captured and controlled territory just like a feudal warlord or "robber baron" did. But dramatic technological and social change happened during the industrial age, which contributed to humanity's population booming, more people having access to goods that were previously exclusive to the upper class and the rise of organized crime. Not only did this result in much more people entering Hell (thus causing overpopulation and the "need" for an annual purge), but how overlords were made had changed

Instead of needing to seize power through conquest or amass resources through raiding, an overlord could gain power economically---either producing their own materials or having the sheer wealth to buy it. Overlords were businessmen who could monopolize an industry, forcing people to pay respects, acknowledge their authority and work for/with them because they had what everyone needed. This is best demonstrated by Carmilla and the Three V's, who each control a vital piece of Hell's economy

But this presented a whole new problem: if an overlord truly controlled the entire industry, what happens when they're gone? If their factories are destroyed or their workers are killed, how can production be maintained? Killing an overlord was one thing, but taking their place was an entirely different affair---because if you did too much damage to the industry, took too many people's jobs or couldn't give the people what they want, then your reign would be very short-lived

However, this presented a unique opportunity: if you could get into the industry, rise through the ranks, earn the overlord's trust and learn their secrets, you could betray them and maintain production fairly easily. Of course, the new overlord would have to do something to earn the loyalty of their employees AND prove to the other overlords that they're just as good as (if not, better than) the former overlord. But this is a long game to play and very dangerous, so an overthrow didn't happen too often---not nearly as often as one overlord would lead an army to crush a rival

All that being said, what if the Three V's became enemies of the Hotel? If any or all of them get angelic weapon'd, then someone would have to take the throne---keeping the business alive. In the case of Vox, he's literally part of the power grid: if he blows a fuse (as he did during his failed dissing contest with Alastor), then the whole city goes dark and society screeches to a halt

So this brings up a good question: who could replace the V's? In a number of ways, Angel Dust is best suited to overthrow Valentino, but what about the others? Alastor seems to have power over electronics just like Vox does (conjuring a camera and projecting his image onto Vox's personal supercomputer), though he insists that radio is the superior technology and hates photography and film

But if we assume that whenever an overlord is defeated, the victor takes everything (ownership of all contracts and therefore souls), then who could be trusted to not only void those contracts once they succeed (and refrain from making more), but also make the industry somewhat fair? Charlie and Vaggie would be prime candidates, but what if...

What if Charlie couldn't because she was Hell's princess? What if Angel didn't want to be the manager---honestly enjoying his actual job, minus the abuse from Valentino? What if Alastor just couldn't pull his head out of his ass and/or nobody trusted him to NOT become just as bad as Vox (if not, worse)?

But you know one person who IS trustworthy and fair (though lacks the relevant experience)?

Who else but good ol' Ramon?

Imagine this millennium-old knight, sitting behind a big office desk and desperately trying to herd corporate cats. Imagine him inspecting the latest prototype at VoxTec R&D. Imagine him performing the same role as RuPaul or Tim Gunn in their respective shows. Or even worse better: Mr. Vanilla in charge of PORN

Let me introduce you to one of my other muses!

Okay but lemme gush about my favorite OC real quick.

Taylor Lillian Borelli is a crossover muse, set primarily in the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew and Supernatural universe. She's a white witch, descended from one of the very first witches blessed by Hekate, and she's been trained as a government spy, which she's used for her monster hunting. She has a bit of a god complex, which can often result in disastrous consequences, but you'll never have a more loyal, feral best friend if you earn her trust.

However! She does have a Hazbin AU, where she's one of Alastor's..."employees"? She's not under contract with him, but she does work for him in a sense. She's not completely a bodyguard, not completely a protege, but she's earned enough of his respect that she was one of the first he calls upon to help with the Hotel. I would love to explore this AU with her!

[stvrdvster]

I see where you’re coming from! For me, it’s not so much Alastor or Lucifer’s personalities or “role” per se that I’m sticking one or the other into, more of just the concept of “I have known you for the dozens of lives that I’ve lived during my life, and I have chosen you, each time, and the time after that, over and over again, until the end of time.”

That sort of schtick that comes with immortals and the mortifying ordeal of being known so deeply by someone for centuries, or in other words, the Besties Ever. Obviously Lucifer and Alastor have just met in canon, but the idea of them sticking together closer than glue, thick as thieves and gaining that sort of mutual respect (and even, gasp, trust) for one another so quickly, that kind of devotion in such a short amount of time, really fascinates me.

It’s the journey that gets them there is what I really want to see more of. Lucifer is still a bit wounded from whatever happened between him and Lilith, and Alastor is about as warm as a clam on a good day; I think that they might find a bit of camaraderie between them, despite their vast differences and their whole cat fight over Charlie (which was really just Alastor trying to get under Lucifer’s skin), you know? That mutual, lurking respect for one another despite the shit they put each other through prevails and whatnot.

I like to think that they both have their sort of ultimatums that once you cross, you really can’t get back over onto their “good” side. Like you compared Lucifer to Techno— all hard morals and bullheadedness, whereas Alastor is more tricky and slippery, manipulating what he wants for whatever he sees fit. Like you said, he’s got a reputation to uphold! For Lucifer to be so hard-drawn and firm in his beliefs (at least the ones he really cares about, again; that opinion change on sinners!), he might have a hard time really meshing with Alastor on a surface level (I mean, obviously, we all saw Hell’s Greatest Dad).

That being said, I really think that below the surface of themselves, a sort of coexistence of a love-hate relationship can start to brew. There goes enemies to frenemies— at first they’re really only putting up with each other for Charlie, then a sick sort of banter grows. Harsh jabs and taunts, snide remarks and scathing glares— they’d put Batman and the Joker to shame (think Lego Batman). But after a while, that respect really solidifies.

Lucifer, admiring the fact (if only just-! Remember, this is the early stages) that some Overlord he hasn’t heard about before having the gall to stand up to The Lucifer, King of Hell, keeper of sinners and souls, etc. etc, and he’s keeping up with him. Nobody (except for Lilith, really) had been able to do that before! Lucifer knows when respect has been earned.

And, you know, he’s nice enough to Charlie, so… It helps.

Alastor, on the other hand, can commend to Lucifer’s sheer power and the terror his name seems to command. Al can relate— he has that sort of power, to an extent, he supposes, and knows what it’s like to see an equal. (Deep down, where he hides his shame and hurt, Alastor knows that he can never really be on an equal power level with Lucifer, it’s in his nature) It’s a quiet thing at first, and it feels like the world holds its breath when Lucifer prods at Alastor and Al only glares, smile tightening at Lucifer before slipping into the shadows, melting away with a burst of static. Charlie is about to explode with happiness and excitement— are they actually getting along?? This is GREAT!! Aside, Husk drops a glass (thank goodness for cat-reflexes, right?).

You see where I’m going with this?

It builds, slowly but surely, it builds and that’s what I mean when I compare their dynamic to emduo— when it’s built (and it will build, lemme tell you), their foundational relationship will be SO study and when I say that they’re so in sync it’s CRAZY.

So yeah, qpr’s are great, let Alastor have his undead forever Hellish bestie

OKAY LISTEN I hear you guys, yk? It’s all adioapple this, radioapple that, I see lots of it that’s mostly romantic/sexual, and as someone who is somewhere on both the aro and ace spectrum, I ask you guys to consider: emerald duo radioapple

For those that don’t know, emduo comes from the qpr/platonic besties relationship between mcyt Philza and Technoblade’s characters from the dsmp (JUST them and their characters pls stay with me guys), and the fanfics about them was IMMENSE. There was SO much platonic rep in those fics (the Orphan’s Path series is rlly good at this, though that’s just one example).

They are IMMORTAL BESTIES are you guys SEEING WHAT IM SEEING

platonic hell besties Alastor and Lucifer, enemies turned frenemies turned “hey that’s the guy I fw you can’t hurt HIM” turned platonic/qpr co-parents turned “hey i think i would die for you”

Obv Alastor is a lot more reserved but I think Lucifer could really soften that hard-shelled murder’s cold heart, yk? Lucifer has a certain disdain for sinners and we see that melt away in the last few eps of season 1, and the potential qpr radioapple has would be GREAT FOR THIS

APPEARANCE: Revenge is a long and slender figure with black skin. She has long dark blue moving hair with stars and a dark purple curl on her left. Her eyes have a yellow background, the orang base, and her pupils are a circle, and about two half ellipses each differently large. The mouth is normal, but very often smiles. In her demon form only her yellow glowing eyes and a big smile are visible. And in the other one, she has only one eye and her mouth can't be seen because they are right under the eye, so it also looks like a smile when talking.

Revenge is dressed in a dark gray short coat with a hood and a light button in the middle. Below it has a dark magenta tank top. She has silver gates on her hands and her belt is made of the same material. Under her belt she has a dark red fabric which she uses as a skirt. It has dark tyrkis close-fitting pants. Her shoes are a shade of faded dark brown-green color and a hint of fur above. In one of her demon form, she wears only a long coat and a hood over her head.

PERSONALITY: She is very faithful and will lay down her own life for her friends and family. But her trust is hard to earn. They are not afraid to express their opinion and fight for it. Because she lost a lot of friends she often remembers them. And she refuses to talk about her feelings, which is reflected in her abilities. Her emotional side is very related to her abilities and if she gets upset, for example, it opens up different portals in the house and it is mostly dangerous and you never know what will pop out of them. The behavior is related to the set situation or with whom it is. If she is at home with her family and friends she is friendly and pleasant. But if it is in public trying to behave so as not to scare anyone, but at the same time not to look like a possible target for attack.

BACKGROUND STORY: About 100 years ago, her reality was attacked by someone very dangerous who couldn't kill very well. And since Empress Bella didn't want her reality, family, friends, and everyone to be enslaved, there was only one way to save everything. And that was Revenge. After talking and persuading Revenge agreed. Before that, it became the owner of both the Dream Casino and the Royal Palace. So she did what she had to and ate her reality with the enemy. But then she was tried by other entities and was expelled to Hell.

When she found herself in Hell, the Royal Palace appeared near her and found her. And inside, she found the Space Pack and a group of Elsword invaders commanded by Izzie. So some friends returned to her and stayed with her. She had an argument with Lucifer about their palace about her and her "family" living here. And successfully. Over time, she found he's the most powerful being in Hell. When she decided to find out how it goes, she went out and hopefully make friends. Just that everyone is afraid of her, so no one talked to her. It wasn't on her way that she accidentally crashed into Alastor. Eventually they began spending more time together until they became very good friends.

RELATIONSHIP:

En "Enterprise"- Both appear to be mother figures, for others at home. They respect each other, but sometimes they get into a minor dispute, but Revenge takes it with exaggeration and humor.

Phoenix- Relationship between older and younger sister. The relationship is quite neutral to good.

Dove- Relationship between older and younger sister. The relationship is pretty good. She is very nice and helpful.

Wild- The relationship between brother and sister. The relationship is neutral.

Space- The relationship between mother and daughter. She's much younger than other Space Pawns. She gets into trouble very often, and that's what Revenge scares.

Izzie- She's like a pet and a friend in one for Revenge. They are inseparable. And thanks to how it looks here fits perfectly. Against Revenge is defensive.

Riss- The relationship between mother and son. He's much younger than her. That is why she is concerned about him and the need to supervise and educate him.

Alastor- He's the only one who started talking to her when she came to Hell. And they immediately became friends. Both are tremendously similar, whether they have the same sense of humor or ability. When they are together they act as if they were a couple. Which may well happen in the future. One helps each other not to go a little crazy.

Charlie- He has nothing against her. He just rejects the local authority.

Vaggie- Because she knows her past, that is, according to her. Vaggie doesn't believe her. Revenge with Vaggie has no problems.

POWERS AND ABILITIES:

Flying

Telepathy - she can move lots of objects at once.

Mind reading - when she looks directly into anyone eyes, she will see all history, thoughts, fears, everything.

The absorption of souls and life energy - whoever eats it will not return to Hell or Heaven.

Super strength

Super agility

Regeneration

Moving objects between the Royal Palace and her cloak

Opening or blocking portals - can block the creation of portals to either calm or punish certain demons. She can also track them where they are going.

Moving with shadows - comes into the shade and appears somewhere where she wants, but there must be a shadow.

Temporarily create objects - can materialize what she wants for a while.

Concluding agreements - she got that ability from Bill Cipher. But he doesn't want to use that much. Because she doesn't know how to do it. Unfortunately, this ability activates itself when it senses the opportunity.

Projecting yourself into dreams - as well as the previous ability, he has this one from Bill and also doesn't want to use it much.

Causing nightmares - as well as the previous ability, he has this one from Bill and also doesn't want to use it much.

Control elements

Shapeshifting - can change its appearance so height.

Summoning the souls of already dead people she ate

and more

SKILLS: 

Piloting - to fly a fighter, a spaceship and a Space Paws.

Drive a car

Professional sniper - shooting from a bow or firearm

Martial arts - all possible styles even your own. Whether with a gun or just with your hands.

Swordplay

Acrobatics 

Playing the guitar - either normal or electronic

Singing

TRIVIA:

She is the same character as in Ever After High and Elsword Kingdom, but older, powerful and wiser.

Her old friend and companion was Empress Bella, but unfortunately, at her own request, Revenge was eaten along with her home and reality.

She is currently several hundred thousand or even more years old.

The casino they own is not in Hell. The only way to get there is through a dream. There you can play and win, but if you lose often enough, you may lose your soul. And then you owe Revenge service. Thanks to this casino, Revenge is also the richest creature in Hell.

ALASTOR EUGENE MOODY is 31 years old and works as a SENIOR AUROR and is loyal to THE OOTP. he was an HUFFLEPUFF and is a PUREBLOOD. HE looks like BOB MORLEY. ( it’s cami, bitch ! )

alastor comes from two families mostly comprised of aurors and wizengamot members. highly respected, yes. pureblood, yes. but also extremely hated by many people on many sides due to their incessant upholding of the law. his parents, two seasoned aurors, didn’t take this threat lightly and in true moody fashion, let a hint of paranoia snowball. when alastor was still a newborn, the trio moved into an old mansion on a sprawling estate, in a barely inhabited island in northern scotland. their reasoning was that if no one could find them, they couldn’t target their son or them.

the couple had never wanted to have children, and only did so after some family pressure, just so that the bloodline would continue. as such, the family never expanded, and besides nannies, the occasional house elf and a few visits, the enormous labyrinth like house was mostly empty with just the three. and more often than not, just alastor, as the two made their offices their homes. one day he would too.

this isolation was a big deal. yes, he had tutors and nannies and spent a lot of time sitting by himself waiting for his parents in some auror’s office, or even some contact with the few muggle locals, but his childhood up until hogwarts was very solitaire, and silence was far too common. he can’t handle silence now.

the one thing that kept him company was the sky. living so far away from everything, the island’s sky was clear and filled with stars, and alastor loved to observe it. eventually he asked for some books on the matter and a telescope, and that was the beginning of a lifelong passion with astronomy. he’s a stars nerd !! someone talk stars with him !!

at hogwarts he expanded on that passion, along with his curiosity of muggle culture ( turns out he loves their science, books and movies ) and interest in quidditch ( alastor was a somewhat brutal but highly strategistic beater for the hufflepuff team ). he did all of this while also achieving some of the highest grades of his year, even if nothing made him as passionate as those 3 - but he knew his place, as desperate as that made him. alastor was a moody. he was meant to become an auror, like his father, like his mother, like others before them.

hogwarts was always the time in which alastor was at his most trusting. without the loneliness of his home-life and the pressure that came after school, alastor was welcoming and formed some of his strongest connections !!

sydney moody, his father, died during alastor’s 6th year. he’d been to many funerals before, relatives killed on the job, family friends too, but that was different. the moodys had never been particularly affectionate people ( something he’s vowed to not copy once he has his own children ), and alastor grew up aware that his parents would have rather lived without children, despite loving him very much. however, his death was a sudden reminder of how quickly people could be gone and it sort of brought him into his current war mindset.

his mother died in the middle of his first year of auror training. she didn’t live to see him become what she loved most and she was so so close, i’m sad.

alastor needed to honor their legacy, even if it killed him. despite all the rumours of nepotism or ‘he’s just getting these cases because they pity the moodys’ , alastor rose up quicker than most in his class. little sleep, lots of caffeine and ruthless slightly unlawful methods got shit done, impressed his superiors and got him the best most brutal cases. he’s now a highly respected auror, and even though he gets into trouble weekly due to his methods, he gets the results. no one can argue against that.

he trained with amelia bones, even grew up with amelia bones at hogwarts, and now she’s his work partner both with the aurors and at the order. alastor is constantly glad she’s the head of the office, otherwise he’d listen to no authority at all. also did i mention that they’re in love? making heart eyes at each other? longing looks they can never turn into actions? unspoken sparks? i hurt. talking about amelia always makes him smile. 

*breaks the law* *tries to duct tape it back together*

was in the order of the phoenix from very early on. dumbledore trusts him, his skills and especially that he’ll do what it takes, whether it costs him soul, life or limb, to win the war. alastor is very much aware of his purpose, and can often be found leading missions, organising them, commanding meetings. he hates leadership positions, but keeps finding himself thrown into them.

has an impressive collection of scars, some from regular auror work, many from order missions. as of right now, the most notorious one is all across the left side of his face, temple to jaw, and there are so many more to come.

he LOVED tutoring back at hogwarts, did it all the time. ever since he became an auror, alastor tries to help out trainees whenever he can, especially those in risk of being cut out of the program. loves teaching auror skills and duelling to people at the order. just loves sharing knowledge so so much.

secretly plans on, once the war is over, quit auror work and go study astronomy. maybe teach !! never will 

his loyalty will be the death of him. of all the hufflepuff qualities, his undying loyalty stands out as once it’s earned, very very hardly can it be taken away. he’ll do unspeakable things for those he’s loyal to and he can be so so blind for them !! a big proof of this is AUGUSTUS ROOKWOOD - he should doubt him, as he does most people, but the thought will never cross his mind because he trusts until death. this will come up in the future again, with mundungus :(( his loyalty kills him i’m

has an interest in the THEORY of dark magic and in dark magic artifacts, and collects them. can often be found in shady bars and stores making himself illegal deals yikes

is an observer and at heart, a detective. notices the little details and especially patterns, movements, twitches. long before he got his magical eye, having a conversation with alastor moody felt like he was watching you from every angle, outside and within.

he has SUCH a big heart. listen to me, the moody family is a well established thing. he sees someone he identifies with?? someone he understands ?? someone who needs protection and care and love? he adopts. bruce wayne who?? he loves his moody kids and is always open for more, what a dad

has an addictive personality and he knows it. that’s why he doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t do anything that could take him down a bad path, because he’s aware that he wouldn’t be able to stop himself. unfortunately, the violence and pain of his line of work and of the war is just as addictive.

honesty is so so important to him. he’s extremely blunt and will not tolerate lies ( highkey hates dorcas probably ) 

alastor is testing out growing a beard. mostly to cover some wounds and bruises and scars. please support him he looks so good

he’s a little bitch !! i don’t put enough emphasis on this. he’s a snarky little bitch who loves sass and bad jokes. 

he loves his old pal aberforth dumbledore and trusts him even more than albus. he’s a simple man who understands another simple man

star wars nerd

there is not one moment in which is hair is not messy

i love him

character parallels: annalise keating, bruce wayne, harvey specter, frank castle, bellamy blake, hermione granger, raymond holt, peggy carter, steve harrington, ron swanson and jim hopper

some wanted connections:

+ star gazing friends. someone who also spends too much time looking up into the darkness. something very passionate and pure

+ an old flame. some relationship from the past that he was most certainly the one to ruin (because he’s him)

+ questionable occasional stress-relief hookup. they don’t talk about it to anyone else, and just don’t talk a lot in general

+ an order rival. sdomeone inside the order who fundamentally disagrees with every decision he makes, and vice versa. moody is quite honest when he disagrees with someone, so definitely not easy to ignore. 

+ old hogwarts friends !! after a period of adjusting to being around people, he was more open than he is now, less paranoid, joked around, so someone who knew him then

+ all the ministry enemies. you know this dude has many

+ ministry friends !! few, because he’s moody, but a couple of people that he’d actually go grab lunch with, have real conversations in the hallways and elevators

+ black market dealers. alastor and them have a mutual understanding that he can’t arrest them, because they know of his own illegal purchases.

+ someone he recruited for the order. this is open for just a few characters because, while moody doesn’t do a lot of recruiting since 1) not a charming dude lbr 2) way too high standards, he still has brought in a couple of people - and he cares about them very deeply, and also sets for them a very high bar

history

ciannán o’donnell was a flighty man, one of many relationships and flings and little loyalty, and so his affair with kiyana fletcher did not last long. when she told him he was pregnant, he moved on to a different woman, and kiyana had her son alone, with her sister on her side. dung was born to a lonely and angry woman, who had fallen for the charms and winks of a crooked criminal who spoke empty promises and lied for a living.

he grew up with his mum – a halfblooded witch and by far his favourite person in the world – in cork, attending muggle school there. he knew who his dad was, but wasn’t quite sure how to feel about —- EVERYONE knew who his dad was, a well known muggle criminal and dealer, a name notorious among the older kids at his school, a father to many. he’s like the robert baratheon of ireland, to be honest, planting bastards on every corner. lol. knowing he was one of his many kids was hard; he’d never met any of them, but he knew they were there, from his mother, from his aunt.

he met his dad for the first time at age seven, and was nothing but impressed. his dad showered him with gifts, his mum watching with a furious look on her face but biting her tongue. that moment was a switch for dung; he felt the need to impress his dad. he stole some sweets from a store on his way home from school a week later, fished some pennies out of the pockets of his classmates a few months later. when he phoned his dad to tell him, his laugh was warm and filled with life.

his relationship with his dad got better as his behaviour got worse. the thrill of stealing, of doing stuff he wasn’t supposed to, lit him not only on fire because ti was exciting, but also because he knew his dad would adore it. his mother’s worried questions and look only drove him to his dad, who liked it when he did bad things, who didn’t try and ground him ( looking back, he knows that that was stupid, but back then he was blindsided, obsessed with the mystery that was his dad ).

abuse tw // his father was abusive. period. he’s a wicked man, who has blood on his hands of people who were in his way, and he doesn’t love anything but winning and money and the high of victory. he manipulated mundungus, pushed him towards bad behaviours, showed him his bad sides when he was disappointed. most of the abuse was mental and verbal, but sometimes it turned physical as well. it’s toxic. mundungus hasn’t allowed himself to admit that to himself yet, though. end of tw //

drugs, smoking, alcohol tw // attending hogwarts was good, at first. it forced him to focus on other stuff, for a while, but his summers and winter breaks forced him back into his old behaviours. his world was split; at hogwarts, he was a loud and lively, but still a pretty good student, while at home he fell deeper and deeper in crossing lines and boundaries. he lit his first cigarette at age ten, drank his first beer at age twelve, smoked his first spliff when he turned fourteen, as a present from his dad. end of tws //

hogwarts also meant friends --- the dick squad was founded here, consisting out of dorcas, doc, daisy and dung himself. these three people meant everything to mundungus, to be honest, let him see the ways people could love each other without conditions or out of obligation. they were chaotic and messy and wrecked havoc on the castle but --- damn it, they’re his family, and he’d die for them.

drugs tw // it was in his later years that these two worlds started overlapping. his dad trusted him with a bit of produce, gave him some weed to sell at hogwarts after his christmas break in his fifth year, and it was a success. ever since, dung became pretty well known for selling a little bit of this and that. a lively spirit, he always did so with a bit of a grin, but he was also pretty fond of the stuff he sold, indulging quite a lot when business was a little slow.

he also stole a lot from rich purebloods, because fuck them

i guess ... this is where the messiness really did ... explode? mundungus liked the taste of drugs. he liked the taste of doing illegal things. he liked the taste of earning money and feeling powerful and he loved it all. he grew more dependent on alcohol and drugs. he wanted to flee, too. the world was a nasty fucking place and he knew that all too well and, fucking hell, don’t blame him for wanting to escape every now and then. end of tw //

he graduated at one point which? is a miracle? i think they just wanted to get rid of him tbh!!! but yeah, dung did Try a little at hogwarts, as he respects the hell out of dumbledore and stuff, but he was still not a good student. after graduation, he kind of joined up with his dad and started doing some illegal stuff in the wizarding world too, because why the hell not? he was good at it.

dung had no plans to join either side of the war, tbh, even though he’ss v much against the de’s cause. he’s a self serving kid!! but then he kind of got in a nasty situation where both alastor and dumbledore got him out of trouble ( that might have sent him to fucking azkaban, what a fucking idiot ) and well, dung might be a shithead, but he felt indebted to them and kind of rolled into the order.

and well --- the order was a newfound family. messy, of course, and full of chaos and distrust, but --- heck, mundungus found a lot of people there that he did end up feeling loyal to. and while that was scary, as mundungus prefers being a lone wolf ( or raccoon ), it was a kind of wonderful, too?

and -- get this -- he was an asset. his ties to the criminal world, with his ability to steal and sneak around like less than a shadow. he was useful, and mundungus fletcher had never been useful in his life before. what a weird feeling that was --- oh boy, but it was good, too. mundungus likes it. he could build on that and improve greatly and he has fucking potential to become a better person. he really wants to, too, because he feels incredibly indebted to alastor and dumbledore akjfsdf.

dont hold your breath, tho, he’s probably not going to improve a lot

mundungus doesn’t technically have a home. his mother’s place is his home, i guess, but he’s not there a lot. he crashes on couches, breaks into muggle homes of people who are on vacation ( always leaving it the way it was, but with a bit of a smell ) or in a squatter’s home, which he thinks is an iconic scene.

drugs tw // besides his work for the order, mundungus does a bit of this and that. he still works for his dad a little, dealing some drugs for him, but he’s mostly focused on making his way through the wizarding world’s underground and making a name for himself there. he sees no reason to try and find another career, finds the things he does now thrilling and exciting and honestly, he doesn’t have much of a way out. 

abuse tw // his dad has a hold on him. sure, he can drop his criminal activities in the wizarding world, but when it comes to his dad's business, he’s stuck. his father isn’t going to allow him to walk away –  that much should be obvious. he knows too much. and then there’s mundungus’ wish to always please his father, and his father’s endless dissatisfaction. it’s messy and bad and toxic and we all hate mundungus’ dad. end of tws // 

addiction tw // what it all boils down to is that mundungus is chaotic. he never stays in one place too long, doesn’t have a consistent job, strays away from commitment and stability. he’s addicted, to drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and adrenaline. he’s self serving, in the end. he’s seeking for validation, deep down, and endlessly scared of all that’s happening around him. he’s alone, dreadfully so, but that’s the way he prefers it. end of tw //

personality & tidbits 

mundungus is a lowkey tortured artist. he writes awful poetry and draws a lot and he loves painting if he has time. he’s in love with the beat generation, mostly. he’s very private about this kind of stuff, though. it's his thing, and his alone. some of his tattoos he’s designed himself tho!! and we love and stan!!

his stance in the war is something that’s … pretty unknown, i imagine. mundungus benefits from appearing neutral, has connections in both the pureblood and muggle world. he likes to come across as that shady dude who will do whatever you ask of him for the right price.

can usually be spotted wearing The Coat, a rly expensive, vintage long coat that he once stole of a pureblood. he’s enlarged the pockets with some handy spellwork and pretty much carries everything he owes in there, like his produce and his money and his second pair of shoes and his art supplies and probably some random trash. 

is a bit smelly, so give him a shower

most likely to show up at your doorstep at 5am with some flowers and a shit eating grin, saying “can i sleep on yer couch?”

mundungus LOVES animals but doesn’t have any because of his lack of a home. his mother has a dog, though, and he loves that dog. he also feels v connected to stray dogs and cats and can be found petting and feeding them a lot.

hates himself deeply, doesn’t think he’s worth anyone’s time (despite constantly demanding it), has a low opinion of himself. he doesn’t get it if people care about him, to be honest? the only person he can properly accept it of is his mother, but even that’s complicated.

plots!

CUSTOMERS // a simple, easy connection! basically someone who buys drugs (also does like medicinal stuff? but also drugs-drugs) of mundungus or has paid him (good money) to nick something for them. he’s pretty down to do most things as long as it’s for the right price! 

PARTY FRIENDS // dung likes getting wasted / high / fucked up and having a good ol’ time with people. sure, he’s done it alone, but he prefers doing it with others. there’s a lot of room for diff options here?

YOU SAVED ME ONCE // ( alcohol tw ) a plot where someone got dung to a hospital when he got alcohol poisoning and basically saved his life?? meaning?? mundungus feels indebted and he hates that but!! he’s gonna pay your char back! he promises! 

UNDER PRESSURE // i imagine that dung has some ties to de’s as well bc of his less than legal work so? maybe some death eater could try and put some pressure on him? get him to do some dirty job bc it’d not matter if he died … etc etc 

UNDER PRESSURE 2.0 // on the other hand, i bet some order members are like 👀 at dung? this one’d be for order members who’re like … making sure that dung is still loyal and here?? making him feel a bit?? queasy?? 

ONE NIGHT STANDS // dung isnt rly good at romance but he’s good at no strings attached sex. this’d work in a lot of ways and w a lot of characters so imma keep this p open! dung is bi btw!!

THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY // your average angsty exes plot? mundungus is flighty, and while he does feel feelings for people, he’s not … good with commitment. this’d be a relationship that he broke off bc he got scared or ?? something else??

COUCHES // i need some couches that mundungus can crash on adkjfhsdf he needs a place ... to sleep. he will pay you back with drugs or ... stolen goods? money? something that he didnt acquire lawfully

OUT OF CHARACTER

INTRODUCTION

Tess, 21 years old, she/her, pacific time, USA.

ACTIVITY

I’m not going back to school until the fall so I have more time than originally expected. I’m able to log in daily, since the threads on this group tend to be on the longer side I’m contemplating I’ll be able to get at least one reply a day.

HOW DID YOU FIND US?

I’m a former member but originally through the tags.

WHAT HARRY POTTER CHARACTER DO YOU IDENTIFY WITH MOST?

Hedwig because I too would die for Harry Potter. No but really I think I identify the most with Bill Weasley, mainly because I always liked the career of curse breaker and I think that going far away from the family to do something he loved was amazing (and brave).

ANYTHING ELSE?

I’m really hoping to get accepted again. I had an amazing time when I was part of this amazing group last time. I’ve been feeling a little out of it since the baby came and the doctor recommended I do something I love, and getting to write with you all is really one of my favorite things in the world. I hope I get to be a part of this group again!

IN CHARACTER

DESIRED CHARACTER

Alastor Moody

Alastor: Ancient Greek for “he who does not forget”. Thus “avenger”, “persecutor”, “tormenter”, “one who suffers from divine vengeance”. Which is rather fitting as he made a career out of putting bad guys in jail, when failing to stop them before hurting innocent he made sure to avenge those lives that were lost.

Moody: Temperamental.

FACE CLAIM

Matt Ryan, or Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, or a POC rec from you. Honestly I would be willing to work with whoever you see fit.

REASON FOR CHOSEN CHARACTER

I have always been a fan of Alastor, I just never had the confidence of playing him before. But with this plot, and everything going on, I couldn’t let the opportunity pass. There’s something about how the order is going to deal with Aversio. Slowly coming to the realization that it is because in a way they were not getting results that this other group decided to come into action. And then there’s the ministry, specially the aurors. I want to have a chance to explore Alastor’s feelings, how he questions if they have been doing a good job training the new recruits. He is going to be set on the fact that Aversio does more harm than good, but there’s going to be something reminding him that if only they had acted sooner, all of this could’ve been prevented. Plus, the paranoia is only going to grow, he now realizes that there’s definitely no one he could trust, he could very well be surrounded by enemies. I felt drawn towards him because he is a good guy through and through, his methods might not be the best, and he is not the nicest guy around, he’s far from it, but he knows what path he wants to follow, he has a clear objective in mind. I hope I get to do him justice the same way he seeks to achieve justice for all those who have been wronged.

PREFERRED SHIPS // CHARACTER SEXUALITY // GENDER & PRONOUNS

I’m all for Alastor/Chemistry if the opportunity presents. Alastor is way too paranoid to let himself be vulnerable, but with the right development I’ll be on board with a ship. My anti-ship would be something out of character for Alastor, like death eaters. Alastor is a cis-male and uses he/him pronouns.

-EXPAND ON THE TRAITS ( and here’s a character tropes edit )

✓ Hard-working. He comes from a family of Aurors, both his parents as per canon were Aurors, and I feel like that gives us a glimpse into his early life. It’s like coming from a family of cops, there’s a need to prove you too can achieve greatness while at the same time showing people you have earned the right to where you are, and that it wasn’t given to you because of your family. So Alastor works harder than anyone, since he demands that from people he leads by example.

✓ Great mentor. He will never be one to sugar coat things, but he knows the right way to encourage people. He wants to train London’s best, and he would try his best to make sure that happens. He guides by example, and tries to keep everyone under his watch alive.

✓ Persevering. Linked with hard-work, perseverance is something in Alastor’s nature, he never gives up despite everything that has happened to him. Despite everything that’s happening in the world he will keep pushing forward.

✓ Open-minded. There’s nothing he hasn’t seen, and still believes there’s more to see. Moody likes to keep an open mind, would always listen to someone before making a decision, he’s never one to be prejudiced, as that is what’s killing this society.

✕ Harsh. Greatness is not achieved by babying people, Alastor believes in though love, it’s how he was raised. He has never been one to be tactful and is not going to start now.

✕ Gruff. Life made Alastor into a bitter person, he sounds like he’s always mad, even if deep down he cares about everyone around him, he knows it’s best to keep a rough front.

✕ Paranoid. When someone has lived what he has they would have no trouble believing that is best to be wary and not trust anything or anyone. He is constantly worried someone is going to try and kill him or worst betray him.

✕ Anti-social. He prefers to keep people at arms length, after all no one knows when is the last time he’s going to see them.

-A FEW POTENTIAL PLOT POINTS

connections & wanted plots

&&. KEEP ME GROUNDED Is not that Alastor forgets social niceties and manners, is that he just couldn’t care less whether people likes him or not. Which only leads to him coming off as a straight up asshole on his worse days, and a paranoid grump on a daily basis. He could use someone he respects and is strong enough to call him out when he’s being a jerk. To point out where the line is, and making it clear that it is not okay to cross it.

&&. BROTHERS IN ARMS You are only as good as the person fighting next to you. Someone Alastor had grown to respect and rely on. They might not always have a heart-to-heart about their feelings, but this is one of the few people Alastor knows he can turn to. Whether sharing drinks or just being there for each other, this is one of the few people Alastor can honestly say he trusts.

&&. SURE I’LL TEACH YOU Alastor has a hard time believing anyone in their right mind would chose him as a mentor. The role of mentor and teacher coming easy to him despite originally having being appointed head of the department because there were no other options around. Alastor stepped into the role and with each passing generation he gets better at preparing aurors. Now with the order he had also taken the responsibility to get them ready for a fight he wished they never had to fight. Alastor is always willing to work with anyone who wants to be better prepared and work on refining their technique.

&&. JUST PROMISE YOU WON’T END UP LIKE ME Callous grumpy nature aside, Alastor is a mentor at heart, and sometimes even if it surprises everyone around, he might end up giving some advice to those brave enough to bring up discussing their feelings with him. Rumor says the best time to approach him is when he’s drinking, that’s when he’s more at ease, he might even pour you one. OPEN

&&. FIGHT ME It’s not that he lives to make enemies, that’s just something that happens from time to time. With the wizarding society hanging by a fine thread, and Alastor living up to his last name every day of the week, everyone could easily fall into this category. Whether this is someone who annoys him, like a fellow ministry employee, or someone Alastor would love to punch their teeth out if the opportunity ever were to arise.

&&. NOTHING LEFT TO SAY BUT GOODBYE Alastor was born and raised into the pureblood life. His parents were never pureblood elitists, and coming from a long line of Aurors they had an impeccable reputation. His family was murdered before any of them could be labeled blood traitors. At sixteen Alastor was left to carry one a family legacy. He cultivated many friendships through his childhood and early years in Hogwarts. Some of those friends, that he once considered family, have now turned out to be on the other side of the war. What happens when the person you would take a hit for is the one pointing the wand at you?

&&. I WOULD FOR YOU Alastor’s family was taken from him in the blink of an eye. For years he convinced himself that caring for anyone was only going to end in pain and heartbreak. Despite having friends that he cared for and loved, he always tried to push them and keep them at arms length. After a failed engagement he accepted the fact that he was not meant to have a family. Always the man with the plan, he failed to prepare for what would happen when they wrapped their small hand on his finger. Alastor might never have children of his own, but family has always been about more than blood.

IN CHARACTER QUESTIONNAIRE

♔ If you were able to invent one spell, potion, or charm, what would it do, what would you use it for or how would you use it? Feel free to name it:

“This one is easy. A truth spell. And not like that veritaserum rubbish. We all know that bloody thing doesn’t work. But with a proper truth spell, interrogations would go smoothly. And it won’t just benefit the department, but people who are wrongly accused would have a better chance at clearing their name. Of course it should only be used with regulations, there should be training, an official team like the obliviators. Just think about how much good a truth spell could do.”

♔ You have to venture deep into the Forbidden Forest one night. Pick one other character and one object (muggle or magical), besides your wand, that you’d want with you:

“I see the tactical advantage of having someone when you venture into the Forbidden Forest, but I wouldn’t risk anyone’s life, but if I have to name someone I would pick Minerva or Kingsley. And I’ll take my invisibility cloak.”

♔ What kinds of decisions are the most difficult for you to make?

“All decisions are difficult to make. But the hardest ones are probably the ones where the only choices you have are bad choices. Because you still have to choose. You still have to make a decision.”

♔ What is one thing you would never want said about you?

“Why would I bloody care about what people say about me? People are always going to say things about you, no matter what you do. Good things or bad things. You are still going to be judged. You can’t let that stop ya.”

Alastor shifted a little before adding, “…that I didn’t try.”

REACTION TO LAST EVENT DROP

Is no secret that Alastor was never fond of the Ministry of Magic, he never cared much for the bureaucracy and the red tape, but he had been hopeful that with Millicent in charge things would change for the better. The auror department on the other hand, well that was his entire life. Every single person in that office was his responsibility, and Alastor was not there for them. Alastor’s paranoia is through the roof, knowing that Aversio stemmed from the order had already made him doubt everyone around him, but when it was clear that the initial attack to the Ministry had to be aided by someone in the aurors’ department, well that just made him mistrust his own shadow. Alastor is angry, and more determined than ever to put and end to the war. He might not be entirely convinced about letting aversio members join the order, but at least he can keep a close eye on them. After the attack on St. Mungos he’s starting to reconsider his stance on non-lethal, because arresting people is not going to be enough, specially since the death eaters are in power and he knows there’s no way to get justice unless they make their own.

WRITING SAMPLE

They were failing. That much was clear. And in the long list of categories under which a failure could fall, their failures were the worst kind. People were dying left and right. A hate group and a terrorist organization fighting for control, meanwhile the Ministry could barely hold together, let alone put out so many fires. And the order. The order was filled with well intentioned people, kids really, they were mostly kids who had wanted to do good and ended up having to fight a war against two ruthless enemies. If fighting one group had proved to be hard, now, after what Alastor had learned. A house divided could not stand. Aversio had infiltrated the order, that much was clear, and now Alastor could not help but wonder, if the death eaters had someone on the inside too. Concentrating on those particular thoughts were simply maddening. He would rather not think about it, but if he didn’t, then no one would. There was something about human nature that refused to believe someone you care for could betray you. Life had thought Alastor better. Anyone can turn on you at any moment, people are capable of doing all kinds of things under the right pressures. Loyalty for many was a matter of circumstance. There was of course a few that were loyal, to the cause, the people they loved. Those were the ones in the most danger. The ones he worried the most about. And out of those only a few he could really trust. Trust being a term he had not used in a while, and that he was sure he wasn’t using properly. These were difficult times for trust.

Alastor could no longer remember when going to work was just going to work. When it was boring and bureaucratic, and he had to write reports, and his only concern was making sure the trainees completed the program. Now every day was a new tragedy, a new horror to be seen, analyzed, pictures taken and pinned to a wall. Alastor still remembered the day everything changed. And no, it wasn’t the day they told him he had lost his entire family. That had been so long ago, at times he even believed that the person he was at sixteen, before that, didn’t really exist, had not really existed. No. The day everything changed had been but a few years ago. At the time he had been mad, annoyed was more like it, that the auror department had been called into that crime scene when it had been cleared of any dark magic. The auror department was supposed to chase and capture dark wizards and witches, not waste their time with common crimes. But upon arriving Alastor realized that there was something far more dark, something that was about to change their lives.

“Do we keep track of hate crimes?” Alastor had asked, confusion was the only answer he got, “we should start” he had said looking at the crime scene in front of him.

He had been right, everything had changed. A war had started and it had not slowed down. And since that moment the auror department had handled the cases that had fallen under the criteria of the thing propelling this war. Hate.

It was a misconception that people got used to it. Seeing a crime scene, specially one where it’s clear how much hate was behind it. It’s a lie. No matter how many times you walk into a scene there’s a moment when you wonder how can people be capable of so much hate. There’s a moment when for a split of second you wonder what’s the point of fighting back, if all that’s inside someone’s heart is hate. But then the fog clears, and the realization that the point of fighting back if so that this doesn’t happen again. So that the next family is saved from this fate, so that the next person walking alone in an alley makes it home. It felt as if he had not slept in days, but before he could rest, Alastor knew he had to eat. He was in the middle of making diner, and some extra meals he could store for the upcoming days, when he heard a knock. The alarm had not been raised, there was only a handful of people that would be allowed near the perimeter without the defense charms going off. Alastor crossed the room in a few strides and opened the door. Panic was the first thing that came to mind, people usually sent word that they were coming, “is everything okay?” he asked as soon as he opened the door.

//SAMPLE TWO

Alastor let out an annoyed huff. He had been waiting for more than ten minutes now, talk about these people having little regard of the time of others. As he looked around it was more and more evident that he did not belong here, he was not made for this sort of job, he was the kind of person to be out there, getting his hand dirty, doing real work, he had never wanted any of this. A few days ago an owl had arrived at the Ministry, it had been carrying a very urgent letter, it requested Alastor’s presence immediately. He figured it must had been someone high up on the command chain, as he had never been one of the Ministry’s favorites, and yet he had been ordered to leave for America at once. He had offered many good reasons as to why leaving in the middle of the current situation was a bad idea, but as always he had been tasked to do the trip anyways. At least he made it clear that he was not going to play along or be nice to whoever was waiting for him. He was not one to care about diplomacy when they had so more pressing issues at hand. Now as he waited in this pristine lobby, full of people is expensive suits, he was glad he didn’t have to work here. One look at him was enough to figure out how much of an outsider he was, at least back at London people were not as elegant as the ones here. Honestly it was baffling to picture them working on such fine clothing, but then again Alastor had never been one to dress so fine, even as a child, even at the request of his parents, he had always done as he pleased. Being the youngest of four sons gave him a little bit of leeway when it came to getting away with things. But that was before he had lost his entire family, now there was no one but him, all alone in the world.

“Alastor Moody” a voice called, a very familiar voice, one that Alastor hoped he would never hear again, one he feared he was never going to hear again. “Clarissa?” he asked turning to look at the approaching figure, she was just as he remembered her and so different at the same time. The light coming in through the elegant and unnecessary, they provided an exposed lobby, glass windows hitting her just right to make her look like an angel. He quickly got rid of those thoughts, they belonged to someone long forgotten, the person he used to be. “I wasn’t even sure you were going to show up” she said with a half smile. “It’s not like I was able to refuse, I assumed the sender was well connected, as they didn’t even listen to my complaints” Alastor informed her. “Please follow me” she asked before Moody walked behind her.

They got to her office and Alastor started to list all the things she could do to improve security, she had left so many weak spots, it was during his assessment that he almost missed the way she was extremely closed to him. “What are you doing?” he demanded walking away from her, “What do you think? I’m giving you a hug, I haven’t seen you in years, I’ve missed you Alastor” Clarissa told him in a confused voice. “Need I remind you whose fault that is?” he said harshly, “I’m not the one that left.” Alastor had never been one to pick the right words, he mostly said whatever came to mind, what he was feeling, not caring how it sounded, he always spoke the truth. A hurt looked crossed Clarissa’s features, she never quite had a chance to see this new Alastor, it was hard to her to hear him sound so, bitter. “I know that, I know that I made the choice and I can’t take that back, but how could I’ve stayed Alastor? I couldn’t, not after- not when they all-” he watched her struggled for the right words, “when they all died?” he finished for her. “When they were murdered” she argued back, “how could I stay and live a life they were never get to live?” she said in almost a whisper. “Bloody hell Clarissa, I never asked you to stay so we would get married and have a family, I wanted you to stay so I wouldn’t walk into that place, into those empty cubicles, and miss our friends on my own” Alastor admitted.

The mood had grown tense; it was like even a word would set off everything they had been keeping in for years. They had survived when their friends had not, that tended to do something to people, even when they ought to have stayed together they instead had only drifted apart. “Why did you called me here Clarissa?” Alastor asked wanting to get this over with, “Because you are the best” she told him in a firm voice. “That’s not true, you know that’s not true, you know that the only reason I have this job is because there was no one else around to take it, had you stayed it would’ve been you. It would’ve been you the one to have to watch new kids sit where our friends sat, do you know how many kids I’ve trained?” Alastor asked angrily, “how many kids have not made it? How many of the ones I’m currently training remind me of them, of us? Do you? Do you know what it is to wonder if they are going to end the same way? Of course not, because you left, because you ran away and turned your back on us” he finally admitted.

“You are right I don’t” Clarissa spoke with a pain in her tone, “but I couldn’t stay” she said prompting Moody to scoff, “it was because of me that we survived Alastor. It was because of me that we weren’t with the others when- when they were murdered. How do you think that makes me feel? You were always giving work your best, you wanted to go, to get there on time, but I didn’t. I convinced you to stay, to- If we had not been so-” she shook her head, “irresponsible” Alastor said sarcastically. “So stupidly naïve to think we could have made it, if we had not been so” Clarissa looked at him to see if he knew what she was trying to say, he dared her to finish her thought, “so in love” she finally said, “we would’ve been there with them.” Alastor scoffed again, “and do what? Like two teenagers would’ve faired better than more trained Aurors in that ambush, our friends died, our mentors died, everybody that was there died, it was a trap, a set-up. What do you think we would’ve been able to do if we had been there?” he demanded. “Die with them!” Clarissa said before bringing her hands to cover her mouth.

“Why am I here Clarissa?” Alastor asked again, “I have a feeling that you telling me that you wish we had died is not the reason I’m here” he said with a smirk. “I left London in the middle of crisis, and like I said I was thrust into a job I never wanted to do, but I still have a responsibility to my people.” Clarissa reached for some files and handed them to Moody, “Whatever is happening back home” she said and Alastor scoffed, “yes London is still my home, it will always be my home” she stated, “whatever is happening, is spreading. There have been some cases of no-maj, muggles, getting killed by magical means” she said as he combed through the files, “the ideology is spreading, we need to put an end to this Alastor.” Moody nodded, “I appreciate you telling me about this. I have no doubt you know how to take care of your people, I need to go take care of mine. I’ll appoint someone to stay in touch with you about any developments, I will put an end to this. Take care Clarissa.” Alastor gave her a nod before walking out of her office. Coming to America had been a mistake, but at least it had added a new sense of purpose, to stop this madness from spreading, they had to kill it at the root. Once he was back he was not going to rest until every single person responsible was caught. Alastor had already lost everything once, he was not going to lose anyone else.

MOMENTS

As a child, Kingsley held the world in his hands. As the oldest, he held himself to a higher standard - the example of the house - so to speak. His family had always been tight knit; family dinners on Sundays with the grandparents, family game nights on Saturday, and showing up for every achievement, big or small. Despite being pureblood children, he and his siblings attended muggle primary school in their early years. Involved in futbol and rugby, his family came to every game, and Kingsley learned that family is unconditional love and support. By seven years old, he knew that family was everything, and that honor and duty come before all else. 

Eleven years old and he got to Hogwarts with his head held high and his aspirations even higher. He fit into his house like a glove, but Kingsley went out of his way to make friends all across the board. He had never been one to only surround himself with people like himself. Instead, he branched out and made connections of all kinds. By the next year he joined the Quidditch team - his muggle sports knowledge helping him greatly. Soon after he became a part of the dueling club and debate team. Kingsley had a reputation early on in his Hogwarts career; intelligent, inclusive, and a natural born leader.

At seventeen, Kingsley’s world was turned upside down. Two weeks into their first semester the news came that their family home had been attacked. His parents had been vocal in their disagreements and plights with the Death Eaters. They had sent their children to muggle primary school, participated in muggle culture, and taught their children to accept muggle born students with equal measure as they would pureblood ones. In the end, it was their unfailing morals that got them killed. With both of his parents murdered in the attack, Kingsley felt the weight of the world on his shoulders. Becoming the guardian of his three younger siblings was never in his plans, but Kingsley wouldn’t have given them up for anything. 

By twenty six he knew that it was time for a career shift. Having worked his way up the ranks of the auror department, he knew he needed to run in the next election. With Alastor leading the Order and his siblings now adults themselves, it was the prime time to fight for the Minister’s position. Had the werewolf attack not have happened, he would have won in a landslide. However, fear was a powerful tool, and the day after Rodolphus took office, he heard about the unlawful capture and arrest of both Alastor and his sister, Suri. Kingsley almost expected the Order to collapse, but it was quickly revived by one Lily Evans. He promised that he would do whatever was necessary to get his best mate and sister released from their prison. Even Kingsley knew the time for diplomacy was over.

CONNECTIONS

SIBLINGS - When they lost their parents, Kingsley had been the one to step up. He had become the legal guardian of his siblings not long after he’d graduated from Hogwarts. While his relationship with the lot of them was different, he loved them all with his whole heart, and would do anything for them. Raina had stepped up a lot in the emotional care of their siblings, and she was without a doubt the person he turned to the most. Suri was the one that he butt heads with most often, usually because she was even more stubborn than he was. Meanwhile, Reagan was the one he worried about most in all of this, mainly, that he would lose the softness he had to him. Kingsley knew he couldn’t protect them from everything, but he certainly wanted to try. 

ARTHUR WEASLEY - One of his best friends since childhood, Arthur has always been the person to lighten Kingsley’s mood. The other boy never seemed to take anything too seriously, which left Kingsley always watching his back and ensuring that he wasn’t getting into anything he couldn’t get himself out of. However, Arthur was also the person that reminded him how to be human more often than not, and he was forever grateful for that. 

ALASTOR MOODY - When he and Alastor started talking about the Order of the Phoenix, it had been the grand ideas of two teenage boys. However, as the world started to darken, Alastor had stepped up, right alongside him. There was a brotherhood between them that Kingsley knew he could always count on. With Alastor being unlawfully imprisoned, along with his sister, all his efforts have gone towards getting them freed. With the help of The Rising, he expects that they’re going to get them out in no time. 

AMELIA BONES - Out of all the Bones, Amelia has always been his favorite. She was a power house in everything she did, and Kingsley had always respected her for that. More than that, he’s always enjoyed her company more than most. Their friendship started as more of a professional one, but grew into something more personable over the years.
