Welcome to whatever this mess is

Lacrimosa, Lac, Mosa, I've heard it all. Corrin works too. I'm in so many fandoms I can't keep track really. They/Them/Their pronouns. Feel free to say hi! :33

[dragon-spaghetti]

They’re coping really well <3

[stuckinapril]

Controversial take but I think we more often need to accept that sometimes it’s not personal, but that a person still doesn’t fuck with us. They don’t want a relationship with us, they don’t wanna be our friend. We’re not their type for whatever reason. They don’t hate us but they aren’t interested in building something with us in any capacity. It’s not that they have a lot going on, it’s not that they can’t receive love, it’s not what a lot of people concoct just not to deal with the sting of rejection. Sometimes we’re just not somebody’s type. And that’s okay and we don’t have to curl up in fetal position in a corner about it. We will not be the type of every person we encounter and that is natural and nothing to lose sleep over

you can't oppression olympics your way out of how your trauma affected you.

"other people had it worse" bitch! I don't care! just from looking at you it's plain and obvious that you've had a time of it! a person can drown in six inches of water, it doesn't matter if someone else is drowning in ten feet! you're both still fucking drowning! show yourself a little bit of compassion before I come over there and do it for you. this is a threat

I genuinely don’t get the appeal of RadioApple.

I like to ship Radiostatic/Radiosilence but that isn’t the reason I dislike RadioApple. I’m also a fan of StaticMoth so clearly I don’t have an issue with enjoying the same characters with different people. RadioApple just… doesn’t really do anything for me?

It has some gorgeous fanart and Hell’s Greatest Dad is obviously a banger but beyond that, I don’t really see the chemistry people talk about. I like Alastor, I like Lucifer and the two of them have fun interactions but to me those scenes feel more like comedic foils than characters with any particularly compelling romantic or interpersonal tension.

Part of it is that I struggle to see how they would actually match each other personality wise. Alastor is toxic, sadistic, deeply narcissistic (don’t worry, I still love him though) and generally enjoys getting under people’s skin whereas Lucifer doesn’t really strike me as someone who would engage with him on that level or match his freak. Obviously, that’s not a criticism of people who enjoy the dynamic - characters can be written differently in fanfic, and ships don’t have to be perfectly in-character to be fun. I’ve enjoyed plenty of OOC Radiostatic myself. I just don’t personally see what makes RadioApple compelling in canon. In fact, I’m much more invested in Lucillith and can’t wait to see where that goes in Season 3.

And this is also why I don’t really understand the arguments that Vivziepop is going to make RadioApple canon or that Alastor is going to explore his asexuality with Lucifer next season or that there are ‘so many signs’ pointing towards it. I can understand that some people might see their interactions and think ‘oh these two would be fun together’ but I don’t think the actual text gives us much to work with.

I actually like Alastor and Lucifer bickering on-screen and I hope we get more of it. I just read their dynamic as primarily comedic. They don’t have any established history with each other and there isn’t much underlying tension or emotional baggage between them beyond the fact that Alastor finds Lucifer amusing and Lucifer finds Alastor irritating.

And I think that’s where the comparison with Alastor and Vox becomes interesting to me because whatever you think of RadioStatic/Radiosilence as a romantic ship, Alastor and Vox undeniably have history.

Their rivalry isn’t one-sided even if the romance probably is. These are two characters who knew each other, had a relationship of some kind in the past, mutually respected each other at one point, fell out and have continued to antagonise each other for 70 years. There’s actual baggage there and something for shippers to work with. Alastor clearly regards Vox as someone worth taking somewhat seriously even if he enjoys mocking and belittling him and Vox obviously considers Alastor enough of a big deal to obsess over him to the extent that he does.

And honestly the fact that decades have passed and Alastor still hasn’t killed Vox despite being perfectly willing to kill other Overlords and sinners for considerably less is interesting to me. Whatever the exact reason is, Vox clearly occupies a different place in Alastor’s mind than most of the people around him.

That’s why their rivalry feels more impactful to me than the Alastor/Lucifer dynamic. With Lucifer, Alastor seems to mostly view him as a joke - someone he can needle and annoy. With Vox, there’s a sense that Alastor actually considers him an adversary (even though he’d never admit it aloud). There’s history, mutual recognition, resentment and a reason for the tension to exist in the first place.

So when people compare the two dynamics and say that Alastor and Lucifer have all this supposedly obvious romantic tension, I’m just kind of sitting here like…where? 😭

Who knows? Maybe RadioApple actually will get more development later and I’ll change my mind. But based on what we’ve actually seen so far, I just think the ship is a bit random and personally I find the Alastor/Vox dynamic far more layered and interesting because there’s actually something there between them which goes beyond two characters having a few minutes on-screen of entertaining banter

[lacrimosathedark]

Radioapple shipper who loves to explain things here. I'm not going to try to convince you to enjoy the ship, taste is incredibly subjective and it can just be not your thing, but I'm happy to point out where it stems from and such so maybe you can understand it.

I think part of it is just your personal preference for pairs with an established history and you're putting a lot of value in history instead of looking at potential. I could be wrong, but that's the vibe I get from this post.

A lot of people like to see a relationship develop rather than explore established relationships.

Radioapple being newly introduced is also lacking baggage so there isn't pre-established issues. Lucifer and Alastor are a fresh slate. Vox and Alastor have a history of heartbreak and cruelty and obsession. Alastor was needlessly cruel. Vox has stalked, humiliated, tortured, and forced Alastor to watch him fuck Val. And likely more things we aren't aware of. That's a lot of baggage. Radiostatic would undoubtedly be poisonously toxic. Radioapple, without all that between them, has the potential to at least be in the vicinity of healthy. I personally prefer healthier relationship dynamics.

For the record, I really like Radiosilence, and I've got nothing against Radiostatic, and I find all the Vees entertaining. Just wanted to put it out there that I'm not trying to badmouth anyone liking a particular character or ship. Vox is fun to watch, but he is also a monster.

There's also the Staticmoth of it all, where Alastor is parallel to Angel Dust as the object of Vox's obsessive affection and wrath simultaneously. Vox and Val may love each other. Vox has a jealous hatred over Angel's relationship with Val, and Val develops something not dissimilar for Alastor due to Vox's S2 behavior. And, well, Vox and Val are childish, and I don't think things would go great if one of them let their fixation go and the other didn't. I'm desperate for the Huskerdust, so Vox getting over Al just kinda follows there for me. And Staticmoth can be evilly ever after together or something.

I can't speak for everyone, but a big part of why I ship them is Lucifer needs to move on and both of these isolationist dipshits need to learn how to have friends. So why not each other, right?

All we know in season 1 of Lucilith is that they split up some time ago. Lucifer is clearly still hung up on it, and Lilith, but it doesn't look particularly healthy. With season 2 we got some sketchy implications about Lilith, but giving her all the benefit of the doubt, we know she "empowered Sinners" and we also learned despite helping Charlie, Lucifer still thinks they're scum. Thy are in direct opposition. He hasn't changed since Lilith left him, why would she take him back? She didn't leave Adam just for another man to belittle her, no matter how unintentionally he may do so. No, he needs to work on himself before that's even in consideration imo

He could totally do that alone, but if we're being shippy about it, Alastor is the best candidate. Mostly because he's the only one Lucifer majorly interacts with aside from Charlie. He doesn't really have a lot of options atm. BUT there is also the actual dynamic too.

They actually aren't dissimilar in a lot of ways. They're both dangerously prideful, goofy levels of theatrical, and keep to themselves, even if they go about that differently. But that in itself is fun to explore.

There's a whole episode basically calling them Charlie's two dads, so there's a joke aspect to it, which is a common gateway into liking something genuinely.

Then there's the inexplicable sudden beef. Lucifer shows up and Alastor is extra pissy for no discernible reason? His eye is twitching and everything.

And then Alastor is polite, if a bit smarmy, and Lucifer goes out of his way to insult him, also for literally no reason. And it gets Alastor to drop his first curse in the show. He didn't swear for four whole episodes, and he drops his first one because this little fucker he just met somehow gets right under his skin.

Alastor had been able to at least pretend to be calm with Vox. He had the upper hand, nothing fazed him. But Lucifer barely does anything and Alastor isn't quite so relaxed anymore. Lucifer did what Vox didn't: made Alastor show that he was pissed off.

And really, Lucifer's expression and the way his eyes are animated in this scene did something to my brain chemistry. He's having fun. This is right after

And really sometimes when you're depressed, feeling SOMETHING is a relief. Even if he's mad, he's enjoying himself. And that's nice.

Then metatextually, Vivzie knows fandom spaces. She knows when you put two characters faces this close together, even in anger, a good amount of people are gonna go "nooooow kiss!".

That's not an accident. They didn't have to do this. But they did.

In the new hotel, Lucifer is given a suite opposite Alastor's, asymmetrically mirroring it. That was an active design choice. Not unlike the card suits being opposite the XXX and heart, representing the input of Husk and Angel Dust.

Season 2 it's more prevalent, even with Radiosilence being more centrally focused.

Teasers containing "Lu" and "Bambi" lit the fandom on fire of course. Bambi especially because the fandom had already adopted that as one of Lucifer's nicknames for Alastor in fanwork long before we had any hints on S2. And at the same time, it was written even before S1 was released so it wasn't even toying with the fandom. We were just on the same wavelength.

They seek each other out to fuck with each other for no other reason than it's fun. (also this scene is whilst a reporter is asking Charlie if she drinks angel blood to increase her gay powers, which...I mean, angel, cannibal, pulling each other's pigtails like crushing schoolchildren...)

Lucifer is so excited by Alastor just entering the room. He brightens up so eagerly before Alastor even acknowledges him. And goes out of his way to interact with him when he's sat there next to Angel and Cherri for however long without engaging with them.

Alastor is special, if only as a plaything at this time. He's interesting where no other Sinners have been to him, even Charlie's friends who he rebuilt the hotel with.

They loathe each other so much they have matching mugs. Like. Come on.

And honestly, it looks like Alastor just stole one of Lucifer's mugs and drew on it, and Lucifer made a new one to match the theme. They're ridiculous.

While it's probably more of a straw and camel situation given him being in pain and his staff being fucked up, Lucifer's shenanigans are what make Alastor quit and storm off when he is literally soul-bound to do Not That. It wasn't Charlie being insufferable, Vaggi's demands, or Angel's flirting. It was Lucifer projecting his own failures onto Alastor and mocking him when he's already vulnerable.

It's been established by then that Lucifer is awful about remembering anyone's names. He doesn't even remember "Vaggie". And yet there's a "No Alastors Allowed" sign in front of his room.

When Vaggie mentions asking Alastor for help, that automatically gets Lucifer's attention, despite just grumbling like a kid not wanting to get up for school. Alastor is mentioned, and he's immediately ready to "daddy up".

Lucifer gets captured like a dumbass and they start bickering like Lucifer isn't strung up and Alastor isn't tied to a spinny chair.

"I'll show you sloppy" has a double meaning of course, Lu is a dummy.

Also, it's small, but when Lucifer is being lifted away, Alastor's ears are pinned. For some reason, he doesn't like this.

Them both being "captured" by Vox and no one really seeming to help them (with the exception of Emily, my dearest) even afterwards when Alastor is potentially still wounded and Lucifer is barely conscious and covered in his own blood is of note. People like the idea of them helping each other where no one else has.

The season ends with Alastor actively choosing to stay at the Hotel of his own volition, Charlie narrating that he's found something to entertain him, while watching Lucifer.

Implying that Lucifer is the object of interest. We don't know to what end, but that's a fan's playground while we wait for next season.

I'm not certain they will be romantically involved, but I am certain they are going to heavily impact each other. Viv has in interviews said how much she likes and looks forward to exploring their relationship. And I think their dynamic just as characters is a fun one.

I could honestly say more but this is already long and I'd be going more into character analysis and such lol.

I hope this helped maybe? If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer.

[ultimatehazbingooner]

Thanks so much for taking the time to explain your view! I feel like this is probably one of the best explanations I’ve seen regarding why people enjoy RadioApple and after reading this, I guess I do sort of understand that there are a few elements in canon that could be viewed through those lens. Perhaps it has just been done in a way that is far more subtle than RadioStatic (since Vox’s crush on Alastor has been confirmed by Viv and we did get a shit-ton of Alastor/Vox scenes in season 2 so the writers were feeding us shippers) which is why I kinda struggle to see the vision? I am curious to see more Alastor and Lucifer scenes in upcoming seasons though and see if that changes my mind or at least makes it easier to understand the other perspective.

But I guess it does all come down to what you said about personal preferences. I feel like I’m more inclined towards angsty and toxic and fucked up ships like RadioStatic and, to a lesser extent, StaticMoth, so maybe that’s why I find it difficult to enjoy RadioApple content 🤷‍♀️

[lacrimosathedark]

Happy to help! I'm actually curious and perplexed by YOUR perspective. Not that you like Radiostatic especially since Radiosilence is basically canon and both Vox and Al are super fun characters apart and together, or that you don't like Radioapple that's chill, but how you don't see Radioapple.

Radioapple seems pretty blatant to me, in a slow burn kind of way? By which I mean they have a lot of development to do but are on some sort of collision course. Not that it's even inherently romantic, but that there's an important Something there. I have more time to overthink and analyze than most people and literary analysis is just a thing I do, so maybe that's part of it.

The reasons most people have to be anti-Radioapple don't make sense for a Radiostatic shipper imo. Specifically, "Alastor is ace" which holy fuck I will genuinely go off about for several reasons, and "they hate each other" because Alastor and Vox do actually explicitly hate each other (I wouldn't call what Vox has "love" at this point, but also love and hatred aren't always mutually exclusive).

The only common claim that makes sense for an RS shipper is "Lucifer is married" but they have been separated for at least 8 years and that's also a whole mess of a relationship I could go on forever about (and Lucifer has two hands my friends, porque no los dos?). Which I say as someone who wants past Lucilith injected into my veins because they look so happy and what I imagine their better days were like is so fucking sweet I'd need all new teeth from all the cavities.

Those are the most common reasons people give, and they're all nonsense, and feels kind of like someone trying to justify not liking a dynamic when you can just...not like it? Like, it's totally okay for a ship to just not be your vibe. But I'd like to broaden my perspective.

I'm interested in what other ways you don't see it. I'd really like to understand where you're coming from.

What do you feel towards Radioapple from Hazbin Hotel? If you don't know what it is, it's Lucifer x Alastor

I don't hate it... But I don't like it, and I know this will give me a lot of harsh backlash from it, but hear me out.

Alastor is ace, meaning he has no, to little romantic attraction towards anyone. And I think they've made it pretty clear, that both hate each other?? I mean, as a head canon it'd be pretty cute. But to be actually canon, I don't have any feelings towards it reallym

[lacrimosathedark]

Not backlash, but several corrections.

Firstly, Alastor is asexual, which means little to no sexual attraction. Aces can date and be in romantic relationships, and even have sex, it's just that attraction isn't there. You're thinking aromantic, which, as of yet, he is not canonized as. Also should be noted that aros can also have intimate and exclusive relationships.

As for them hating each other, 1. enemies to lovers is a MASSIVELY popular trope, and 2. I wouldn't call it hatred, and they have each other's interest.

They have fun arguing. Alastor seemingly started out with some sort of grudge, but Lucifer was rude first and Alastor gave it right back and you can see they both enjoy it.

For Lucifer, Alastor is the only one whose name he remembers. He doesn't even remember Vaggi's name, and that's his beloved daughter's girlfriend. Vaggi mentioning Alastor is the one thing that gets him out of bed and willing to go out in public.

Vox, who very pointedly as a romantic/psychosexual obsession with Alastor, pushes them apart when they bicker instead of paying attention to him.

Alastor started the season pissy because he was weakened and injured, but ended the season choosing to stay at the Hotel without being forced to by his deal, implied to be due to some kind of interest in Lucifer. Probably not a nice reason, but a reason.

They have matching mugs ffs. That they custom made. I'd honestly bet Alastor's mug was one he stole from Lucifer and then drew on, and Lucifer made a new one to match.

This feels less like mortal enemies and more like pulling pigtails. It's not Hatred, it's Loathing (cue Wicked).

It's also thematically interesting, but that's more a matter of taste than fact.

Not trying to get you to like it, it can totally not be your thing, I just don't like misunderstandings. But also as an asexual Radioapple shipper, I'm really tired of my sexuality being used to denounce any and all Alastor ships. That's not how that works and it's exhausting.

He can be/is literally both though?

Examples until I hit the image limit because I love him:

A. Demon King Lucifer

B. Cutie Pie Lulu

Lucifer being "a cute subby bottom" isn't even just about Radioapple, it's also in relation to his dynamic with Lilith. Lilith left Adam for "demanding control", basically refusing to let her be on top. You think she'd be with another man who would put her in that position? Do you think this lovesick puppy of a man wouldn't let her do anything to him and thoroughly enjoy it?

Also worth noting that he's more imposing when performing, antagonistic, or angry, and soft in private or almost any other emotional reaction. So in a private setting, why wouldn't he be soft?

I think it might be more heteronormative to make Alastor really subby for several reasons, but that's a whole other thing.

But preferring a dynamic isn't inherently bad writing I don't think.

Sooo…

I got curious, so now I’m trying to figure out a new program and a new animation style. I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing 😭

This is only part of the animation, there’s supposed to be more and more varied movement, but… Yeah 😭😭😭
