if you have decision paralysis on who to donate to, Gᴀᴢᴀ Fᴜɴᴅs Sᴘᴏᴛʟɪɢʜᴛ Cᴀᴍᴘᴀɪɢɴ brings attention to a few Palestinian people or families who need crowdfunding at a time. any one is a good cause. World Food Programme is a highly rated long-running charity that you can set up recurring payments for. they don't focus only on Palestine, but they do send aid there as well
AND REMEMBER: NOT SUPPORTING ALL OF ISRAEL'S ACTIONS DOES NOT GIVE AN EXCUSE TO BE ANTISEMITIC

my goofy comedically cool-looking "so i've had a stroke it's true" in Doctor Who's Gallifreyan i made a month ago:
THE GUY SAYING THE THING:
(FLASHING WARNING if you click the following link.) person waving in the above video is PantheonOfHeart, the original creator of the "so i've had a stroke, it's true" audio :D

i wanted to just reblog on my original post but booooooooo
first course of action upon learning a new alphabet, especially one that looks majestic or really cool: writing memes
this is circular Gallifreyan/Sherman's Gallifreyan from Doctor Who! each of the interior seven main circles is a different word, starting from the bottom then reading counterclockwise
so, yes. this literally says "So I've had a stroke it's true" :p (the two small word circles in the middle are the "it's true")

second non-transparent version that might be a bit more visible in some layouts :)
bonus: Vox's nonsense word "door-els" from the same song
(swearing warning and season 2 spoilers if you scan the QR code lol heehee)
i… only had the first two facial expression screenshots at first. i was NOT prepared for the source video to almost be "Alastor and the Vees (and Cherri Bomb because she's great) try British beef Wellington chips"
(just got an unfazed British person at the end to stand in for Velvette X'D)
and i -- very luckily without even knowing that -- bought a bag of blueberry bagels a few days ago yay :D
re-sharing my in-character "Lucifer eats a bagel while talking with fans" livestream to celebrate!! XD (audio edited from a Jeremy Jordan livestream, Lucifer's voice actor :) )
[ image ID: Digital drawing of Vox and Alastor from Hazbin Hotel, but there are two Voxes. Vox from the past with his blockier TV head is backed up against a wall, looking horrified but still lightly blushing, as Vox from the present pushes Alastor's head toward the former. Alastor is restrained by cords around his neck and wrists. Neither Alastor nor present Vox's faces are visible. /end ID ]
I LOVE THIS DRAWING I WANT TO EAT THIS DRAWING I WROTE A FIC FOR THIS DRAWING

Summary:
Some time in the future, Vox is finally more powerful than the Radio Demon and captures him. Clearly that’s what happened, but why? And what happened to their friendship?
—Future Vox travels back in time with Alastor to show off to his past self, but the gloating isn’t as sweet as he’d hoped. Starts at a moment depicted in fanart by boogbug on tumblr!! :)

“It—It’s okay,” Vox whispered to Alastor.
Vox’s other self snarled and dug his claws into Alastor’s head, shaking the poor man. “Don’t reassure him,” the other Vox said. “Take him. He’s ours.”
Vox’s heart thudded. Alastor was beautiful as always, even in pain, even as a mess, with his hair roughed and server’s outfit charred from electricity. And why was he dressed as a server? Any clothes looked good on him, but that outfit was demeaning for the untouchable – or so Vox had thought – Radio Demon. But Vox knew more than likely that was the point: belittling an object of contempt.
“I—” Vox swallowed. “I… I don’t want… This isn’t how…” And then to Alastor, “I’m sor—”
The other Vox roared and threw Alastor across the floor. Static exploded over Vox’s receivers and he covered the sides of his head.
The other Vox scoffed. “You’ll need to upgrade your signal blockers, it looks like. Remember that.”
Vox slightly inclined his head in a nod, more to make sure the other Vox would feel acknowledged and not worsen his ire toward him.
What had gone wrong? Why was he—not himself, but still him, somehow—Why was he treating Alastor this way?
The other Vox suddenly and swiftly crouched in front of him. Eyes narrowed in disgust, he asked, “Why don’t you want him?”
Vox’s eyes widened. Of course he wanted Al. He just didn’t want…
There was shuffling off to the side as Alastor tried to sit up. Wires burst from the walls and pulled him down, wrapped over his head and mouth. Vox flinched.
“Please,” he whispered. “Stop.”
With a smile cold as a razor blade, the other him chuckled and tweaked the lower corner of Vox’s head in a mockery of affection. “Do you want to know what he’ll do to you? How he’ll make you a laughing stock? How he’ll tell you your time together meant nothing, that you mean nothing?”
Vox shrank back. It was more than possible Alastor would do that. Alastor had done far worse to many others.
But Vox pressed his hand to the ground and pushed himself up. “Right now, I don’t care.” He took a few steps toward Alastor as the other him raised an eyebrow. “Al, buddy, um. Here, I’ll—”
A blue-clawed hand yanked back Vox’s arm. “Don’t you dare,” the other him hissed.
“How could you dare?!”
The other Vox spat out a small laugh. “That… was not as cool as you might think. GOD I was such a dork.”
A blush brightened Vox’s screen. “It doesn’t matter.” He turned back toward Alastor. “Look, I’ll um, I’ll get these wires off—”
The other Vox sighed, and… even Alastor looked bored, eyebrows raised. The other Vox grabbed the younger version’s arm and yanked him to his feet.
“Why?” the other him demanded.
Now Alastor looked interested. And despite everything, seeing those attentive eyes fixed on him, Vox’s heart fluttered and he suddenly couldn’t bring himself to meet anyone's gaze.
“See?” the other him said. “This! So why don’t you want him?!”
“Of course I want him!”
Vox grimaced as a thread of static crackled from Alastor. He was never supposed to say that about Alastor, especially not where Al could hear him.
“So why,” the other him growled, “won’t you just be proud of me?”
The growl cut off with a jolt as the other him realized what he’d said, and a burst of Alastor’s laughter shot out of a speaker somewhere.
Vox… didn’t know what to do with this.
The other Vox’s screen blurred over with a bright blush and he snapped at Alastor, “SHUT UP!”
Multiple laugh tracks now layered on top of Alastor's radio-filtered laughter.
The other Vox kicked the younger into the wall. Vox gasped when he struck the wall, but he stayed on his feet.
The other Vox stalked toward Alastor and surged with electricity. The younger Vox panicked and shouted, “DON’T! PLEASE! Whatever he’ll do to me—”
The other Vox’s head swung around with a darker glare than he’d seen all of this bizarre night, electricity still sparking all around him.
“Whatever—Whatever he’ll do to us, I don’t… I still don’t want this.”
The other Vox’s snarl twisted upward into a painful looking sneer. “Well, you should know better than anyone just how selfish we are. I don’t give a rat’s ass what you want. I came here for me,” and he hoisted Alastor up by his hair. Another explosion of static and pain briefly smothered Vox’s vision.
“Haha, yeah,” the other him chuckled at Alastor's drooping body. Then in a mockingly simpering voice he said, “Does that hurt? Is your booboo from your fight opening back up?” He thrust Alastor back to the ground and kicked him, then turned away with a scoff. He paced for a moment. Stopped to glance at Vox, who froze. Continued pacing.
Eventually the other Vox let out an exasperated sigh. “Well,” he walked over to Alastor, “if this whole effort wasn’t a bust.” And he kicked Alastor at the last word before grabbing his hair and pulling him to his scrabbling feet.
The other Vox looked to his younger self with such a disappointed and bored look… then disappeared with Alastor in a flash of electricity.
Vox sagged with a massive exhale. Out of everything he’d seen in life and in Hell – and he’d seen so much. He’d done so much – that might have been the most unsettling. Were hallucinations something he should start expecting? Maybe. He’d have to go in tomorrow to get his components checked, to be sure nothing of the electronics sort was malfunctioning, but… He shuddered.
He’d just have to do what he could to make sure he and Alastor stayed friends. That was all he could do.

Author's note: Hopefully the narration is usually clear enough, working with three "he"s, two of whom are the same character lol. If there are any confusing or unclear lines, please point them out. This was a fun experiment and delightful bit of inspiration. :D
(Title from "Run Like Hell" by Pink Floyd -- with another lyric from "One of My Turns" partially included in the fic :p -- as a nod to the artist's caption :D)
Comments are cherished and read at minimum a bajillion times each
and hopefully this is okay: a lot of people in the comments wanted to read a fic about this so, even tho i'm not the person who many of these people were commenting at, here are some tags :'D
sometimes when characters are onscreen or mentioned in movies or shows, a specific musical "theme" for them plays. here's what i found for Lucifer! yippee!! :)
( if you'd prefer watching it on YouTube, here's the link! :D )
i'm probably not gonna post a whole lot over the next few weeks to avoid Hazbin spoilers and stuff
but.
i started watching the two new episodes around half past midnight. for the record:
(note the "almost 8 am" timestamp on the message LOL)
(my profile pic is from this favorite video muehehehehehe)
my own season 2 bingo card and some spoilers for the season's first two episodes under the cut
a bit of "Hazbin critical" in my bingo card so heads up for that but YIPPEE FOUR SPACES ALREADY LOL
THE "VOX FACE THAT GOT ME HYPED" FOR THE RECORD:
(there weren't any faces of his that got me hyped so far until i saw that ONE INSTANTANEOUS FRAME, but there were PLEEEENTY of MOMENTS that hyped me up. i was very surprised by that separation LOL)
since i'm alt text-ing everything, here's my bingo card spaces in a different order than shown in the images (my card order was randomized lol). anything that's been "checked off" has a little ducky on it :) :
Grimace at badly stylized Vox face
Vox face that gets me hyped (CHECKED OFF)
Valentino face that gets me hyped
Lucifer moment that gets me hyped (doesn't matter whether coolness, wholesomeness, etc.) (CHECKED OFF)
Lucifer can't help Charlie for some reason because Plot
Lucifer has a mental breakdown or panic attack
We get another "almost filler" fantastic episode (e.g. "Masquerade")
No more than 2 episodes are "good"
Lucifer says a silly exclamation
We learn more about Niffty's backstory
The character designs are more consistent than post-ep 4 season 1
Adam returns
Lilith voice line
Hotel gets destroyed again
A hotel wall or portion gets destroyed, a la Sir Pentious or loan sharks
Sera tries to hide Pentious's redemption
Not-Sera tries to hide Pentious's redemption
Lucifer doesn't know where Lilith is
Lucifer DOES know where Lilith is
No odd lines from past songs are explained*
Lucifer wheezes
Baxter explodes something
Someone is scared of Lucifer simply through reputation
EMILY IS CUTE (CHECKED OFF)
Velvette has a cool scene (by my judgment, not writer intention) (CHECKED OFF)
the asterisk on "No odd lines from past songs are explained" is to give examples: *e.g. “Others say that in your needy hour / There’s no substitute for pure angelic power!” (who says that?) and “Good thing we’re in Hell. Check out this little magic number!” (can Lucifer not use his powers outside Hell? or what makes him helping in Hell so notable?)
sometimes when characters are onscreen or mentioned in movies or shows, a specific musical "theme" for them plays. here's what i found for Lucifer! yippee!! :)
