I don't think people are over-feminizing him, I think fandom people tend to over-masculinize him honestly. Let's be real, he is canonically feminine/gender neutral in appearance and manner in the show whether people like it or not (and being/looking feminine doesn't mean he can't be a top for the people who prefer top Alastor). He's not a hunky looking guy and doesn't act like a suave masculine king, he's a bizarre twink who does wrist flicks, eats rotting carcasses off the ground, and breaks his own bones just to freak people out and I like when fanart reflects his canonical appearance/behavior
Agreed.
Alastor has masculine vibes for sure, he's got that ✨range✨ but I agree that is is typically more feminine/gender neutral overall. Honestly, I think I might actually like top Alastor if he were more feminine/gender neutral.
I've seen some Radiostatic fanart with Alastor topping while still being portrayed like his show-self, and I was so into it. There is now one ship where I can see Alastor topping, and that is with Alastor/Vox.
RadioStatic does it again!
And you're so very right, Anon. Being feminine/gender neutral doesn't mean he still can't be a top for those who prefer top Alastor. He can be a Dom. He can rail Lucifer within an inch of his life. Not every top has to be a big, muscley, manly masculine alpha dude. I'm allergic to big, muscley, manly masculine alpha dudes. If they get too close I break out in hives.
BUT, I do understand that people like big, muscley, manly masculine alpha dudes who top. It wouldn't be such a popular trope otherwise. And fandom is the place for tropes and escapism and playing around with characters, and on and so forth, you know the spiel.
Siiiigh. I just wish my boi wasn't hit so hard with the alpha man mallet. Can't you see he's I'm suffering
Alastor's such a bizzare guy. I love it when he breaks his own bones to unnerve people. I like it when people write and draw him as a little freak. I need to write and draw him as more of a little freak.
Suave, masculine gentleman Alastor is my sleep paralysis demon.
