Just starting up a side blog so I’m not spamming everyone on my main account with reblogs.
You’re welcome to chat and interact with both, I might even look at releasing sneak peeks of upcoming works here!
But generally just trying to allow people the option to follow my main @darling-dovey for writing ONLY while this one will be for reblogs and general audience interaction.
You guys are COOKING with your headcanons adding to my version of RadioStatic.
So I present this idea.
Vox genuinely hates Alastor and believes it's mutual, but Alastor thinks they're just a married couple that shows affection in aggressive ways. "What do you mean Stayed Gone was a diss-track, that was our love duet!"
Every Holiday Alastor leaves some corpse or dead animal carcus by Vee Tower and whenever Vox finds it he's like "THAT B-TCH, I'LL SHOW HIM" and sends a note telling him to kys to get back at him and Alastor is like "Aw. He always knows just what to say 😊"
When hell freezes over, alastor grows a winter coat.
Charlie: So I was thinking we could add a gym, That way we can help visitors who want to work on their image, We can also do a class on anger management and how to divert negative energy! oh! maybe something on setting achievable goals and routine as well!

Been struggling with paying bills lately and over the last four months, I’ve totaled over $1.500 in bills. With hubs losing his job back in January and my hours at work flip flopping every week life has been ROUGH.
If anyone is willing to send even just one dollar, I will be totally grateful for it . 😭😭
➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.
➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”
➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”
➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”
➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”
➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.
“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.
“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”
➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”
➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”
However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!
➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.
If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)
➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“
“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.
➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.
➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”
➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.
“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”
➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.
“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”

Thanks for the Ask @cryssyd! I will be writing some one-shots for Old Man from time to time <3
The shrill, spine-chilling chimes of your phone's default "Radar" alarm pierced through the tranquil serenity of your bedroom like an atomic bomb detonating. You groan loudly, trying to reach for your phone without opening your eyes to silence the aggravating sound that ripped you from dreamland so crudely. Your brows furrow together as you slap your hand down along your bedside table for the third time, only to come up empty. Hadn't you placed your phone there like you did every night? Did it fall on the floor? Fuck, that stupid alarm tone was annoying!
Just as you were about to aggressively wrench yourself out of bed to look for your damn phone, you felt the familiar sensation of static settle along your skin like a blanket. Your eyes fly open to find your lover, Alastor, standing beside your bed looking at your phone in his hand as if it personally offended him. Given his total revulsion to all technology more modern than the radio, perhaps it had.
"Darling, it appears someone is calling your handheld device", he states without looking up from your phone. You were sure he would incinerate it using his voodoo powers if it wouldn't upset you to do so.
Your lips turn slightly into a small smirk, "It's not a call, it's my alarm. Could you be a dear and hit the snooze button for me please?" You lay back onto the bed and fold an arm over your eyes, hoping to catch a few more minutes of rest before you officially started your morning.
"The what now?", Alastor cocked his head at you as he began hitting random buttons on your phone until the incessant hullabaloo finally ceased.
You sigh, resigning yourself to wakefulness knowing full well he would not leave you alone now. "The snooze button, it's a button that you press to stop the alarm for a few minutes before it goes off again to wake you up. I like to hit it a few times before I am awake enough to get out of bed."
You feel the bed beside you dip, alerting you that Alastor had sat on the edge of the mattress. You remove your arm from your face to shoot him a glare for making you conversate before you even had your first cup of coffee. He either did not notice or did not care- probably the latter- as he twirled his cane and smiled down at you with a quirked eyebrow. "Now, why would you set your alarm for an earlier time than you intend to awaken? Seems a bit counter-productive to your intent to sleep a bit longer hmm?"
"Because I need that few extra minutes to gain motivation to physically get up. Not all of us are so chipper in the morning ya know?!" You groan as you climb out of bed and shuffle into the bathroom to begin your morning routine. Meanwhile, still seated in your bed, Alastor was tapping his index finger to his lip in contemplation.
A wailing siren going off jolted you out of bed the next morning. Your large, doe eyes swept the room as your tail fluffed out in alarm, heart beating erratically as your tried to assess what was going on and if you were in any danger. Shit, were the exorcists back?! Did you need to find cover? What the actual FUCK was going on?!
Alastor suddenly appears next to you, nearly causing you to jump out of your skin. "Ah, good morning Sha! My, it's good to see you so awake this early in the day!" The deer demon saunters over to your bedside table, which now holds an antique, silver alarm clock with a single bell at the top instead of your phone. A long, red-tipped finger reaches out to hit the button on top of the bell to silence the dreadful alarm; the only sounds remaining in the room were your wildly-beating heart and Alastor's nonchalant humming.
"Alastor...what the fuck is that?", you clench your teeth as you feel your panic give way to anger.
"My Darling Doe, I have taken it upon myself to improve your rousing routine! You really shouldn't start your day by staring at that dreadful handheld device immediately- it's bad for the eyes you know. Plus you are already bright-eyed and bushy-tailed with no snooze function required!" His sentence was puncuated with a "ta-da" track from his cane.
You sigh, closing your eyes and pinching the bridge of your nose to keep from losing your shit on your dearest heart; the man is an absolute menace, but at least he means well. "My Love, could you please explain to me why you want to change how I wake up in the morning? Please tell me it has nothing to do with me using my phone alarm."
You open your eyes as you finish your sentence, catching the way his shoulders tense and his smile falters almost imperceptibly. A small pop of static coincides with the clearing of his throat, the fearsome Overlord was clearly nervous about his response, you cock your head to the side and raise a brow in question.
"As you know, Sha, our mating has drawn us quite close to one another. I find that I am quite impatient to start our days together each morning, and I get flustered when you "snooze" the alarm. Not to mention that the beeping his highly annoying and you insist on listening to it thrice each morning!" Alastor rolled his crimson eyes in exasperation. "But I do apologize if I have overstepped. I shall endeavor to wait patiently for you to join me for breakfast each day."
Your heart constricts in your chest, here you were getting frustrated with him and all he wanted was to spend a little more time with you each morning. A soft smile graces your face as you make your way over to wrap him in your arms. You nuzzle your face into his chest as he wraps his long arms around your waist, his strong hold keeping you close to him. "I'll tell you what- you get rid of that monstrosity of an alarm clock, and I will strive to get up right away to spend more time with you. Do we have a deal?" You crane your neck to look up at him with a grin.
He chuckles low in his chest, the vibrations tickling your cheek. "You drive a hard bargain My Doe, but I accept your terms. However, I'll have you know that this is an exact replica of my own alarm clock from my time as a radio broadcaster!" His hand clutched his non-existent pearls in mock offense.
You raise a brow and deadpan "Ever wonder if that contributed to your psychopathic tendencies?"
You stir awake the next morning, not to the sound of your alarm as you expected, but to a pleasant scratching of your ears. You would be unnerved by this, if it wasn't for the comforting static and scent of the bayou that immediately put you at ease. "What are you doing?", you ask groggily as you snuggle deeper into the buck's chest.
"I was thinking: why should I allow that awful device to wake you when I know I can do a better job. New deal Sha- you can sleep in so long as I am the one who gets to wake you in the morning." His hand runs down your back, not stopping until he runs his claws through the thick fur of your tail. He cranes his neck to place a gentle kiss on the crown of your head.
You let out a contented sigh, lazily wrapping your arms around his torso as you drift off again in your lover's arms. Mornings would certainly be a little brighter with Alastor sharing them with you.
Consider: Alastor in-a-rut trope but because he's Ace it has a different effect on him than it would others. In short: he just gets super duper cuddly. Like. constant hugs and snuggles. Sucks to be you if you're his partner and you had plans. You don't anymore. Now you're snuggling. Congrats
