Alastor is a complex character!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One of my favorite parts of phase 2 (and indeed one of the few moments I resonated with IDW Prowl) was when the neutrals were coming back to Cybertron and Prowl said that he refused to let Autobots be pushed aside and overruled after they were the ones who fought for freedom for 4 million years (the exact wording escapes me atm).

And I mean, that resentment still holds true even once the colonists come on bc like. As much as it's true that Cybertron's culture is fucked up, and as funny as it can be to paint Cybertronians as a bunch of weirdos who consider trying to kill someone as a common greeting not important enough to hold a grudge over.... The colonists POV kind of pissed me off a lot of times, as did the narrative tone/implications that Cybertronians are forever warlike and doomed to die by their own hands bc it just strikes me as an extremely judgemental and unsympathetic way to deal with a huge group of people with massive war PTSD and political/social tensions that were rampant even before the war?

Like, imagine living in a society rife with bigotry and discrimination where you get locked into certain occupations and social strata based on how you were born. The political tension is so bad there's a string of assassinations of politicians and leaders. The whole planet erupts into an outright war that leads (even unintentionally) to famine and chemical/biological warfare that destroys your planet. Both sides of the war are so entrenched in their pre-war sides and resentment for each other that this war lasts 4 million years and you don't even have a home planet any more. Then your home planet gets restored and a bunch of sheltered fucks come home and go "ewww why are you so violent?? You're a bunch of freaks just go live in the wilderness so that our home can belong to The Pure People Who Weren't Stupid And Evil Enough To Be Trapped In War" and then a bunch of colonists from places that know nothing about your history go "lol you people are so weird?? 🤣🤣 I don't get why y'all are fighting can't you just like, stop??? Oh okay you people are just fucked up and evil and stupid then" ((their planets are based on colonialism where their Primes wiped out the native populations btw whereas the Autobots and OP in particular fought to save organics. But that never gets brought up as a point in their favor)) as if the damage of a lifetime of war and a society that was broken even before the war can just magically go away now that the war is over.

Prowl fucking sucks but he was basically the only person that pointed out the injustice of that.

And then from then on out most of the characters from other colonies like Caminus and wherever else are going "i fucking hate you and your conflicts" w/ people like literal-nobody Slide and various Camiens getting to just sit there lecturing Optimus about how Cybertronians are too violent for their own good and how their conflicts are stupid, with only brief sympathetic moments where the Cybertronians get to be recognized as their own ppl who deserve sympathy before going right back to being lambasted.

Like I literally struggled to enjoy the story at multiple points because there was only so much I could take of the characters I knew and loved being raked over coals constantly while barely getting to defend themselves or be defended by the narrative so like. It was just fucking depressing and a little infuriating to read exRID/OP

I've been loving the lore dumps for Tien. I instantly fell in love with them and the more I learn the harder I fall. I noticed early on, do they have two names? I noticed your partner's tags and it's been on my mind for a while. Sorry if this is a dumb question. (>.<)

not to worry! 😊 i actually don’t think i’ve ever explained why they have two names on this blog! if anything i'm very happy you noticed and were curious enough to ask about it! :3 so they do have two names, and in the hypothetical situation where they were in the game, you’d be introduced to them as Sister Sabri, which is the name they go by in their role as a senobium nun! (it’s been a while since i’ve played the demo, but i always figured you’d meet them after vere where you’re at the senobium gates and you see a flash of mhin—the guard there who was like NO TOURISTS >:( would refer to her by that name. she never actually introduces herself that way to you).

fun fact (or not haha), but tiên actually didn’t have a name until closer till adulthood, and tiên was one given to her by a past… something. this something was a ex-senobium scientist who was one of the assigned staff to monitor tiên, up until she grew the ill-advised desire to break her out. as you can probably guess, all tiên has left of this person is the name she gave them.

also, it makes me happy that you’ve been enjoying the lore dumps! 🥹 i don’t speak as much as i could about her on here, but that’s because i have way too much information so it’s easier to wait until people have specific questions, even though i don’t expect them at all! thank you for falling for them too hehe, even though i’ve made them with the intent to be a love interest oc, i’m still honoured every time someone does want to find out more about them! 🥹

im SO sure that paul has a big ass ego like he KNOWS he's hot and a good driver and that screenshot of him talking abt kimi just confirmed it even more😭

can u imagine him being with someone that puts him back in his place bc ok she thinks he's hot but what he has in ego she has in stubbornness???? and normally he would be offended by the things she says but he just doesn't mind bc she's the one saying it and he actually enjoys being annoying and getting that kind of reaction out of her

i just love this type of dynamic soooo much😭😭😭

!!!!!! 😭😩 you're SO right. i definitely see him as someone with a big ego lmaooo like his confidence is just like that. and it's fair tbh because yes he is a good driver and he is very very very hot... and omg with a girl who's stubborn like that? he would be so flustered to have someone talk back at him for once. like the first times it happens he's just staring at her with wide eyes, raised eyebrows and mouth slightly agape – and maybe a little flush on his cheeks. eventually he gets used to it, but he doesn't stop doing it, even just to get a rise out of her...

We've been deprived for a year. It's been jail for too long. Grace us with Kate x Yelena content again. Pretty please.

[psychicflavouredritzcracker]

If you were a pokemon which one would you be?

A psychic type perhaps... or dark type...

I’ve never played the games, so all my knowledge is from watching the cartoon in the mornings before school.

Espurr is the most obvious choice logically, but i also like the sound of being a Sneasel.

Do NOT ask why I'm listening to a playlist called "Gay club anthems" on a Saturday directly after church (making a Flyers pregame hype list by waiting for my pizza to reheat) but gay people really do have such good taste in club bangers man. What did Lady Gaga and Beyonce go so hard in "Telephone" so hard for

👋 i'm just stopping by to say thankyou for the absurb amount of tags you left on queenmaker, it's been almost six months since I posted anything and a long comment was just the kick i needed to actually go forward and produce the rest of this series. also i may have gone snooping your blogs and ykw you're pretty cool, don't know how I haven't read any of your stuff yet but i will. remedy that. soon. not now it's midnight.

also what the heck are you doing in my neck of the woods miss 4k notes, how in the heck. in my dreams.

anyway. oh. 9th member au???? 🤲🤲🤲🤲 hand it over. your taxes are due. please.

akflslsndks i'm so honoured to get a message from you 🥹

i don't mind waiting for updates if it means you're satisfied with the work you put out (my followers know i take a million years to write anything) but i will be happy to continue to comment if it helps to motivate you!! i really mean it when i say i can write like an essay on your fic hahahaha

also the idea of one of my favourite authors looking at my other blog reading my fics makes me sooo nervous 🫣 i'm totally fine if you never read any of them!!

ah.... my 9th member au... it's the fic i am working on the most but it is a looooong way from being completed 😅 after seeing your message then i wrote more!! but i would still consider myself fairly new to writing and it’s always especially intimidating writing for a popular au/trope/prompt so that's another hurdle to get over for me....

[icewindandboringhorror]

Everytime I face a new character limit on a website that didn't have them before/used to have really long ones... AUGHHhhh the modern social media world was not made for people like me (lovers of details, rambling, elaboration, thorough explanation, and nuance)

Recent disney and pixar movies have felt like movies in the way that monster high movies feel like movies. And I don’t want anyone to see this and go “but at least monster high movies are good!” cuz, sure whatever I don’t care, just listen. What I’m saying is these recent disney movies are so forgettable and I don’t think it’s just because of the rise of streaming services fucking up how the films are marketed and viewed, they also feel unbelievably pointless. They feel like movies made around a plot that would be forced into a ten minute episode if it were a cartoon made by smaller creators rn. The plots are so simple I feel like a toddler like I feel like the stakes have gotten increasingly lower and everything is underwhelming. Toy story 4’s big conflict was woody needs to get the plastic spoon back to the little girl. Inside out 2 was the emotions needing to get back to headquarters while riley is just at hockey camp and they learn their lessons in five minutes. Encanto is just mirabelle talking to her family and then singing songs at her. Strange world was a very basic father/son relationship story with no real stakes. The main thing luca wants in luca is a vespa and the main thing mei wants in turning red is concert tickets. Not even gonna glance at wish or lightyear cuz like who watched those what are those movies even for. I can’t remember any of these movies and even the ones I liked are still underwhelming and I walked out of them trying to justify that to myself like “oh well not every movie has to have a crazy plot, sometimes they can be simple”. But it’s like. All their movies now. And the characters are uh, they’re okay in some of them I guess I dunno. And this isn’t even to say that the more beloved older disney movies never had simple plots cuz like look at Cinderella, half of that movie is just animals getting into shenanigans to fill time. But idk, it felt like people actually wanted to make that movie and put love and attention into it. Now these things are just disney pumping out vague emotions that might get them an award while coating everything with this “look at how much money we have” polish
