I’ve uploaded my fan comic “Steps Within Hell” to the site below.

"Steps Within Hell"

If you’re interested, I’d be delighted if you gave it a read.

I handle the English translations and the editing HTML on this site with only amateur skills — and of course, the comic as well. I would be grateful if you could look upon my work with kindness. If you happen to notice any issues, I’d really appreciate it if you could let me know discreetly.

Well then, Have a Happy Day in Hell!!

Hello again! 🪂

I've just read your doujinshi and apparently my commentary got even longer than usual 😅. I didn't know where else to post it, so I'll leave it here. Fair warning that it does go on interminably😶‍🌫️.

However, if I shouldn't have posted it here, or if you'd like me to remove it for any reason whatsoever, please let me know and I will do just that 🫡.

Alrighty, so:

#apologies for any spelling/editing mistakes I was in a bit of a rush #gonna have to properly tag this post later #RadioBelle #Charlastor

I fully expect to wake up tomorrow to "🌈 doesn't care about 🦌" discourse. Fully expect her [yunno. *Charlie*. The protagonist of the story. The character whose love and protectiveness of her friends = core aspects] to give minimal damns about 🦌's capture beyond, idk, asking her dad to fix it [again. *The main character* of the story, and one half of its ideological dialogue. But who cares about any of that when you can turn this into yet another pandering opportunity?].

Because what else can I expect out of a showrunner who prioritises her fetishes, her spite and her DeviantArt-level shipping preferences over character, character dynamic and thematic coherence + development?

#no reblogs please #I'm sure Charlie will be very busy #she does have a ~fun sexy ~ song that will likely get her back on track bc that's how quality character writing works ofc #I'd be very happy to eat my words. but. lmao #that's only one part of the possible horrors that await bc I'm not sure Al is out of the SA woods yet [love potion?🤢]

Anyway Amir absolutely killed that solo recap song and I love Alastor an almost unbearable amount💙

Negativity in the tags because I don't fully want this evil out into the world.

#i need a detox man #like I think I've reached the point where I've figured out how That Woman wants to try ro destroy my ship #push the Lilith/Alastor angle hard- have her be “the one Alastor would go above and beyond for*. If for no other reason than the fact that #then the argument can be made that all the reluctant warmth Alastor does feel for Charlie is not really about Charlie. A trope I've always #loathed with all my being. Now I don't know how the 7 year ~coincidence ~ thing would work if *Rosie* ordered Alastor to lay low [I'd #initially suspected Rosie would be the above-mentioned person a possibility I also despise but anyway] but yeah.#Other options: she might go for the attrition route: either keep Al and Charlie separated for the most part or have them only interact to #discuss other characters/move the ~plot ~ forward. I still think she could also pull a Bryke and try to torpedo the ship in-universe too #all the while continuing her pathetic attempts at turning Chg into this epic love story[🤢]bc she still thinks she's actually cooking here #not gonna put it past her pettiness for Charlie to barely care about Alastor leaving either no matter how grossly out-of-character that'd be #[like the fact that apparently she didn't even look for him that month he was gone? ] But hey who cares about integrity and organic #respectful characterisation when your mean girl temper tantrum-throwing bruised ego is out for blood?#honestly no wonder V*** likes Vox so much- they do have a lot in common after all #anyway fuck Canon. I won't be watching #as much as not hearing Alastor's voice + not having him on my screen will hurt.#I'm past my breaking point

Big fan of the Justice/Vengeance meanings tied to Alastor's name, but Duolingo also got me noticing how similar "à l'astre" sounds => "to /toward / for the star" [ /"celestial body", but yunno. And ofc there's only 1 valid personified star here and her name rhymes with"snarly"💫]

#posting this here too because I actually love this lil discovery so much #charlastor #radiobelle

Re: a certain shitstorm-triggering tweet.

#I do hate it when I'm proven right sometimes #I remember starting to dislike that woman ever since the photos she took of those cardboard cutouts of Alastor and Charlie #and like her middle finger was blocking the neon heart between them or something like that. And I never understood how most Chala shippers #saw that in a positive light. And now she has no qualms emboldening the toxic-ass pos that are chomping at the bit to harass us MORE #despite the fact that the popularity of RB did *so* much to propel the series forward back in the early days #... yeah I despise her. And feel even more validated re: dropping the show. She's absolutely gonna ruin (via gratuitous cruelty a la Bryke]#not just my OTP but Alastor's character too #. And I want no part in any of that shit.#fuck her tbh I'm gonna ship RB *even harder*. No matter what spiteful bullshit she throws the ship's way to ruin it.

So, this has been brewing for a while, but I can finally say that...

Lackadaisy is now a GLITCH Production!

For details, catch the official GLITCH Direct announcement video here!

In summary, this means Lackadaisy has more budget and vastly more production support than before; and that Season One will be bigger and better than we thought possible! And coinciding with the news, we've released a little animated sneak peak of Season One, featuring original music "Last Call"

See the full video with music here!

-------------- We've also put a little FAQ here to address questions folks might have about what's changing and what's not. Lastly, thanks for watching, and for bearing with us, and thank you for the support. It has made all the difference in making this possible!

#I *am* super excited about this - IN GLITCH WE TRUST #congrats to the entire team!#Lackadaisy #I had my eye on this project way before I'd stumbled across Alastor -duh Baccano influence-#but I'm obviously gonna be even more interested in it now #it already looks gorgeous not that I expected any less

All my canon-related pessimism aside, it is f'in amazing how little it takes: one tiny crumb and my heart's close to bursting.

I love Charlastor to an almost unbearable extent😭

#and I always will. No matter what #they'll never take them away from me #I'm adamant about Alastor first and foremost #but the ship ain't that far behind #sorry for the mush I dunno wtf got over me

Just listened to "Gravity" [unfortunately, also a banger] and

#I don't even wanna put this in the post itself but I wouldnt't put it past V*** to have Charlie betray/hurt Alastor #to protect Vgi from Lute or some shit #putting this demon in the tags to idk exorcise it or smth #also- on a related note. Alastor's ~official~ playlist -that one song focusing on a toxic sort of relationship- + Amir not answering the #“who's the on person Alastor would go above and beyond for?”question as well as the “what does Alastor fear most?” one- these have all been #bothering me for months. like this is the sort of shit I need to stay tf away from canon for bc otherwise I might #legit be physically ill or smth. I can currently see 2 possible answers here and I don't know which one I violently hate more #depending on the answer+execution this might go into character-ruining territory for me which is what I fear most

Re: "Charlie is the person Alastor trusts most"- part of me is tweaking tf out rn over this, because having a point this obvious narratively validated *would* be reason to hope [trust!!! such an unthinkable ~ weakness ~ in Hell (the possible implications of the parallel to Charlie's "the person I trust most..."-!!!-) A vulnerability so laughably gratuitous to someone like Alastor, who outwardly prides himself on his self-sufficiency. *AND YET*)]

But *I*'ve too many trust issues when it comes to how ships with similar chemistry and potential to 🌈🦌 are ultimately treated by the narrative and I'm *far* from convinced V**z is gonna break that mold.

There's a version of the ~Alastor is betrayed/ let down by the person he trusts most ~ [if that's where this is headed, and I suspect it is] subplot/ chara/ relationship arc that has legit immense potential.

But [usual disclaimer applies: I'd be more than happy to eat my words etc etc] I have close to zero faith this would be that.

But hey, at the end of the day, it's still one more shiny marble fished out of the Canon dumpster, I guess [the fandom/ fics and fanart = what I care about most atm].

#tag this later #this is why I wouldn't recommend any Charlastor shipper follow me and stuff #I stG I wanna be hopeful and excited but again. I don't trust this woman and I don't trust the show

I will say Charlie's still hurting over 🐍- goes hand in hand with the sheltered, melancholic, Other/ sad porcelain/horror doll aspects I've always tied to my interpretation of her. The fact that outside of her mother [...and even that only to some extent, ofc] she hasn't really known loss throughout her existence.

#tag this later

.

#story time: once at a Metallica concert someone almost right in front of me started throwing up #I’d bet real money my face stayed way calmer than whatever tf my facial muscles were doing when Vgi called Alastor ‘Al’ in that S2 song #also I guess the main question I have is what specific form V*vz's pettiness is gonna take re 🌈🦌#like is she gonna go the attrition/starving route and barely have 🌈 and 🦌in the same frame?#is she gonna go with the classic/douche option and try to nuke it in-universe via having 🌈and🦌directly respond to the thought of #them together? some combo some secret third thing?#I'm almost never this negative but I'm giving myself permission for once #is she also gonna suddenly spotlight vgi as the perfect dance partner for 🌈 too?#tune in Ig cause I sure af won't

Because yeah, unless Something™ happens that makes me eat my words [doubtful, but] I’m done watching the show. Which… isn’t great, since the songs are likely still gonna be bangers, but it is what it is. I’ll mostly stick to Tumblr and AO3, I think. If people can be perfectly happy treating the Pilot as the whole of their HH experience, I can live with just that and the first season, too.

#unfortunately Alastor means way too much to me #Everything's crashing and burning all around us like who even has the signal strength for extra rancid vibes in their hyperfixation diet too #I don't even know if I'll be able to do even this much but I'd like to not only keep expressing my appreciation for the lifesaving fics and #fanart out there but to also start turning my notes into actual posts #archive my own screaming into the void-sessions #tag this later

*stuffing rations into my duffle like it's the French trenches* Is there anyone else who only ships 🌈🦌+ dislikes all the rival Charlie and Al ships? I'd like to follow you if so.

#Radiobelle #Charlastor #Tho I'll likely end up being the lone occupant of that particular pillow fort lol-being a stubborn monoshipper is rough man #I just want my tiny floating seashell in the Internet ocean to stay free of pro-rival ship images/gifs/etc #and given how much fandom culture has gone to shit it feels even rougher now #apologies for the negativity- I can promise this is the first and only time I'll ever use the tags for stuff like this

Why ‘Zootopia 2’ Had To Grow Bigger Without Losing Its Heart (cartoonbrew.com)

Final Trailer

#Zootopia #Z2 #WildeHopps #WildeHopps official #Disney

whamgram

Do you ever think about how Alastor named the hotel, and instead of getting mad that he’s making fun of her dreams, Charlie decides to go with it and says it a funny story when folks ask her about the hotel’s name, and you just… *dreamy sigh*. 🥰❤️

ininsulaavalonia

The way you put it is making me feel *all* of the feels🥹 .

I've also been fascinated by the significance of the [re]naming. My take on it has been that it definitively sets Alastor and Charlie up as perfect foils. Something something naming is an act of creation-something, and the fact that the hotel name = also the title of the show => their foil-ness becomes encoded into the narrative. A way of substantiating their broader thematic dialogue.

Looking at it closely: same concept [highlighting *change*. Transition] diametrically opposed perspectives on it. To Alastor, becoming a "hazbin" is humiliating/degrading- something he hates and fears [iirc, he's the only character being textually referred to as such; by Vox and Lucifer -which is telling in its own right- ]. He just masks it with a whole lot of stubborn defiance [radio's way past its heyday? Eff you, watch me dig my heels in even further etc etc]

But I could easily see Charlie looking at the concept of a "has-been" through a [similarly stubborn] hopeful lens - could see her being strong enough, driven enough to try to absorb Alastor's cynicism and flip it: the tense there links past and present- stresses the work-in-progress-ness of it all.

Basically, a "has-been" = someone who carries lived history [even of the most messed up kind], but who is also brave enough to move past it- towards something new. It acknowledges the past while also making space for what comes next.

To bring it all back around: Charlie letting Alastor [re]name her hotel => 1. she symbolically gives him a place to belong [🥰]. 2. Going from "Happy" to "Hazbin" => possible foreshadowing of their ideologies crossing paths at the halfway point [*].

#[* - or at least #that's what I'd say if I had any confidence in the show's writing. Which. Lol- lmao even]#anyway sorry for shamelessly piggybacking on your post. As messily as I've articulated it this idea has been sitting in my notes for #a while now and your post motivated me enough to finally break it out of that particular purgatory lol #OTP: 'We can set the world alight'#Brenda's yapanese #RadioBelle #ramblings: HH

"Sparkles of Curiosity"

(I made this comic for the RadioBelle LoveOnAir prompt on Bluesky and Twitter)

#OTP: 'What paradise do I have to go to if you are already in front of me?'#this is pure magic- how else would anyone describe such a detailed resonant look into love? The expressions/ gazes alone are mini-works #of art. And for good reason - I've always thought curiosity fascination=at the heart of the RadioBelle dynamic.The force drawing them close #[smth smth “The heart begins where a curious gaze lingers”].So I'm infinitely in love with the perfect way this concept is illustrated here #first off I love Charlie's sweet bubbliness in the first 2 panels-just being her adorable self while unknowingly inspiring earth-shattering #epiphanies in Alastor as she should lol. I partic love her expression in the last panel [of p.1]and the gentle way Al turns her face toward #him and takes her hand has me chewing on wires like a rabid rabbit.Her expression in the first panel [of p.2] is too adorable to handle-#unguarded and obviously fond- her eyes the red in them [via Al's reflection]= *gorgeous*. Love the way she lays her hand on his the gradual #gathering of actual sparkles his solemn look [his smile falls!!!] the way her hand moves to tangle in his hair her gaze as vulnerable and a #mesmerised by him as to give the impression that she doesn't even realise she's moved her hand like that -the symmetry of the way they're #cupping each other's cheeks...and then the dazzling climax of those sparks igniting into flames - the colours and effects reminiscent of #an actual star being born [that last panel of the 3rd page = absolutely stunning]. Extra kudos for the 4th panel [p.4] for how it perfectly #captures that love-dazed sorta look/feeling and for the very last one-a shared look ofunderstanding[nowhere to hide now no place for denial #that what they have is real and there's no putting it back in the box now. Seriously beautiful case study of love and of what that would #look like for *them*. Other random lil notes: love how their hair meshes together in that very last panel and Charlie's doodles are ofc #adorable [esp the ones in the bottom right corner of the whiteboard]#OTP: 'We can set the world alight'#RadioBelle fanart #dragonfoxgirl #has done it again - thank you so much for this fantastic contribution!#those prompts really were brilliant #HH fanart #Hazbin Hotel #HHfave
