Headcanons about how Alastor's magic works... kinda?... and it's a comic because comics get more attention than just texts LOL
bonus
do you know that feeling when you have no one to yap about your special interest/hyperfixation? Alastor has been living with it since, like, forever.
Rosie already heard this like 100500 times
Vox is too smitten to be able to process what Alastor is saying (Alastor can just be saying random words at this point and Vox wouldn't notice the difference)
Mimzy finds it boring
And Charlie just uneducated
ONE MORE BONUS cuz i had this in mind for a long time

Early this time!
NOTE: IN THE PREVIOUS PART ALASTOR MEANT PLATONIC LOVE FOR VOX. LIKE FOR A FRIEND OR A SIBLING. And emphasis on the past tense. He DID love him. But not anymore.
Fun fact, this part was finished in 18 hours after the previous one. And i even had slept in that time. And then i was drawing the next part. It's gonna be a BIG ONE (9 pages), so i wanted to start it earlier, so you wouldn't have to wait too long... and i finished 9 pages in 2 damn days. I'm a comic printer at this point. But i'll wait before posting it.
Because it's gonna be PAINFUL. If you saw the structure i posted couple of days ago, next part is the "Disaster". I even think that i need to make it **** just for the emotional damage. But then i'm realising that this whole comic is emotional damage. But, anyway. Gather all the tissues, all your ways to comfort yourself, book a therapy session, idk, i'm being serious, it's gonna be bad.
This episode inspired by the dream i had about this AU. Yeah. Somehow, waiting is worse. In my dream though i didn't have anyone to comfort me, but Al has Rosie at least.
AU Masterpost
If you read from a reblog, check the original post/masterpost, there may be a link to a new part. Or may not.
Tag list under cut, if you want to be added/removed from the list, lmk in the comments! For tag to work you need to allow people tag you in your settings.
a fanfic angel gains its wings every time Alastor attempts to give Vox shit about eating junk food or whatever and Vox immediately counters with “Gee didn’t mean to offend you Mr. Cannibal. 🙄🙄🙄”
Look at them and tell me Vincent wouldn’t be exactly like that!
I feel like Alastor would act like he hates it, but he secretly loves it, even if only subconsciously. Like maybe one time after a fight he would try to make him jealous and Vincent instead just.. doesn’t react. And oooh Alastor hates that even more sjkksj
ALSO we recently got the Christian Borle stamp of approval on this ship lol
Last year, I befriended a Catholic seminarian. We've gotten to be pretty decent friends. Seeing as he was staying in town for the summer and I wasn't, I entrusted him with caring for my plant.
He did a wonderful job, but as he was returning my plant to my custody, he explained "I watered her every other day, I gave her new dirt, moved her into the sunshine, prayed the rosary-"
"What?"
He looked at me, confused. "Isn't she a plant you pray with?"
"No," I said slowly. "She's a prayer plant. That's the... colloquial name of the plant."
Upon seeing his stricken face, I realized something went wrong. Turns out, this entire time, he's been including my plant in on his prayers and leaving her near icons.
Listen, totally cool. My plant becoming Catholic is a great deal for her not dying over the summer. But now I must navigate this interfaith household. Keep me in your thoughts.
I should also add- I ran into my rabbi and explained the situation. I then asked, earnestly, if there was a remedy. A mikveh of sorts, or a beit din, or something.
He turned to me, sighed, and said in a very deadpan tone-- "Plants don't have covenants, Joy,"
So Dorothea's a free agent according to rabbinic opinion. I guess I'll permit her to be Roman Catholic.
This whole obsession with wheelchair users struggling on foot down the aisle at their wedding or across the stage for graduation is 100% powered by ableism.
“The heartwarming story of how one woman worked for 8 months straight so she could escape the horror that is being in wheelchair for a few short minutes to struggle slowly and painfully down the aisle on her special day.”
“Despite being permanently paralyzed, her one goal since her accident has been to walk across the stage for graduation. The whole crowd gave her a standing ovation and broke into tears when she dragged her paralyzed legs across the stage with the help of leg braces and a walker to collect her diploma, after which she immediately sat back down in her wheelchair, which she will use to move around for the rest of her life.”
How the hell is this an inspirational story? This person needs better goals. And a therapist.
They’re toxic in an even greater way because as a disabled person, I didn’t realise till I was reading this how much I had internalised that. I genuinely have had feelings of fear and shame about using a chair or a walker if I get married. And why? Because I’m constantly seeing “heartwarming” stories about disabled people who shed their mobility aids for that moment. Why the hell am I afraid of using them to get married? Anyone who marries me or attends the wedding will know I need them and love me regardless.
Bless this post for making me realise I’d internalised that shit.
These types of stories teach people, both abled and disabled, that using mobility aids, especially wheelchairs, is inferior.
here are some beautiful brides in chairs with dresses they ROCK. I know a lot of disabled ppl with internalized ableism think they “won’t look good” if they use their chair, but here’s some literally gorgeous gals for ur consideration
(that last ones cute as fuck and i teared up at it)
I made my addition to this post in June 2019. Its now January 2020 and I no longer feel guilty about the idea of going down the aisle one day with mobility aids.
God bless the disabled community, y'all saved me from some internalised bullshit
This post floated by a few months ago, and I remember something to effect of there’s a difference between recovery and refusal. That is, like, I have a friend that suffered an incomplete spinal cord injury. He can walk again now, and I don’t think I’ve seen him use his chair in a few years. When he walked at his graduation, it was to show off his recovery. That he wasn’t quite ready to go through a full day upright, but he could walk across a stage, unassisted, and soon he would be able to do that every day. There’s also a difference in someone like me choosing to not use a mobility aid. My mobility is intensely fluid, especially seasonally. So, I would plan a summer wedding. And while I love my cane it can also be the biggest pain in my ass, so I’d want to just go unassisted. But that’s normal for me, at least right now. I can walk without an aid during about half of the year. It’s reasonable to assume I can make it through one day without it. All of that is different than someone that is fully and permanently paralyzed, that will never walk again, dragging themselves along because they feel that’s somehow better. Overall though, my biggest takeaway is fuck the media. Because disabled people should be able to make whatever decision they want without the media turning it into this grand inspirational story.
Taking the opportunity to add these photos of Jessica Kellgren-Fozard and her wife Claudia, from this twitter post. Jessica also has a youtube channel that’s primarily about disability and chronic illness and LGBT stuff (it’s amazing!)
I would also like to personally share, Annika Victoria who ALSO has a youtube channel. This photo was taken from her instagram - she made her wedding dress dress herself, BY HAND. Her youtube channel is mostly DIY fashion and sewing tutorials. I love her so much, she’s so unapologetically herself and informative
