Are bigoted in any way (that includes but is not limited to homophobia transphobia racism abelism etc etc, don't be an asshole bc of how other people are born)
Don't like furries or therians or other kinds of people in those general spaces (just why? Just let me draw myself as a depressed possum in peace brother, the person wearing the cat mask and running around on all fours in their backyard is not hurting you sweetheart, get over yourself already)
Get up in arms about how people enjoy fiction!!! I personally believe that as long as someone isn't emulating or endorsing the actions of a bad/toxic/problematic character/s then I do not see any problem with ppl enjoying more problematic stuff in media. If you're going to tell someone they can't like a ship bc it's problematic or bc the character dynamics aren't what the author made I'm going to full well expect that it's okay for them to judge you for liking, oh, IDK, like 90% of fiction out there? Please realise that you're no better about liking toxic media if you simp over Bellatrix Lestrange or Hisoka or literally any problematic/toxic/bad character in media (Congrats!! You also like problematic things in media if you enjoy villain characters). If you don't like someone enjoying problematic media or you think someone is a terrible person for liking non-canon dynamics sooo much then just block them and move on; people enjoying media in a certain way DOESN'T AFFECT YOU IF YOU JUST DON'T INTERACT WITH THEM. The more you interact with a blog that enjoys media or dynamics you just don't like the more the algorithm is gonna feed you that stuff.
Sorry for ranting, but it needs to be said! Fuck cancel culture and fuck purity culture in fandoms, people are gonna like what they like in media and you shouldn't waste your energy on someone on the internet that you don't like.
Exactly this time today in 1995, the massacre at Playtime Co. happened, slaughtering both the guilty & innocent. All orchestrated by The Prototype himself, just for revenge
So many killed, all to simply rebel against their captors & torturers. May the innocent rest in peace
Looking at the Funtime Animatronic Blueprints is fun because they consist of:
Look at my creation I love her I put so many different features into her
Jesus Christ Everything In Here Is Made To Kill People
90% Gyroscope and Collision Detection because god why wonât you stay standing up
Eh fuck it
William was very proud of Baby. The first thing you hear upon booting up Sister Location for the first time is William bragging about all the features he packed into her. Also Baby was canonically made especially for Elizabeth and is also the main attraction of her pizzeria so overall I think he spent the most time on her. He packed in every feature he possibly could, then right as he was almost finished designing her he went âoh fuck Iâm supposed to be making a murder robotâ, threw in that stomach claw and child counting program and went done.
Funtime Freddy had the exact opposite problem because William is fresh off of designing Baby and heâs like âok this time Iâm gonna make a murder robot firstâ and then he threw in everything he could think of to make this thing the best murder robot he could. Proximity sensor in the hat to track crowds, little Bonnie hand puppet to act as a lookout and track parents. Voice mimicry to lure things in. Storage tank to hide bodies. William added all of this, took a step back, looked and his glorious creation and went. âAh fuck I forgot to add any actual non-murdery animatronic stuff.â
With Ballora William had the really good idea of âIâm gonna make a robot that can dance so well itâll be able to Ballet Dance and itâll be an attractive woman with HUUUGE bazonkers and Iâm definitely handling the divorce really well why do you askâ, then spent like 3 days straight trying to make this thing able to balance herself properly and whoops it just keeps falling over or bumping into things. Also the eyes are too small for their sockets and look really creepy when theyâre open and Williamâs big smart idea to fix this is to keep the eyes shut and build a robot that can perform a pirouette while blind instead of just adding larger eyes. Eventually heâs spent like 3 weeks just trying to make her not fall over but itâs way too late to stop now. The sunk cost fallacy has set in and William will MAKE this robot able to dance if itâs the last thing he does.
He succeeds in making Ballora able to dance but this comes at the cost of her barely being able to walk normally and needing to move either via pirouette or fucked up spider crawl and sheâs also about 12 parts gyroscope and stabilizing parts to 1 part animatronic. William then realizes he needs to add some kind of murder tool into this thing. William screams.
He eventually just gives up and gives her some programming and extra parts to distract people from Funtime Freddy doing the actual murdering part (and the fact that Funtime Freddy is exclusively made to kill and not entertain), realizes that he still doesnât have enough space to add something to ACTIVATE that programming and extra parts, and then gives up and makes Baby able to remote activate it because fuck it Iâm not redesigning her entire lower half again to accommodate the change in weight.
When he was designing Funtime Foxy he was still absolutely exhausted from the Ballora Incident and didnât even know what to do with this one. âFuck it, Iâm just gonna make it able to mimic voices and release various scents from its tail it can be another distraction I donât care at this point.â
He then proceeded to fuck up and make it hypersensitive to light for no apparent reason.
this was supposed to be a very quick, solely sketched comic, but i sketched the last panel so well i had to paint it. i think this is the best big top i've drawn so far!
this can also apply to the fandom overall not just shippers
Alastor is treated similar to how a lot people treat woman in fiction and real life.
I want to start this post with a bit of context before getting into specific ships and how shippers tend to depict Alastor. Iâve never really liked most Alastor ships. Iâm very attached to him as a character, and anything that feels too out of character immediately loses me. To me, almost all Alastor ships especially when theyâre framed as mutually romantic or sexual feel like mischaracterization.
That said, thereâs been something else bothering me beyond just âthis feels OOC.â While watching how Alastor is depicted in certain ships and how people interpret him, I kept feeling unsettled in a way I couldnât fully articulate. I couldnât quite put my finger on what, specifically, I disliked. It took me about 2 years (since season 1) to finally understand it and it turns out it wasnât just mischaracterization that made these ships uncomfortable to me.
A lot of Alastor shipping content doesnât engage with him as a subject. Instead, he becomes:
A status symbol (âlook who I paired him withâ)
A reward
A moral trophy
Or an aesthetic (voice, smile, suit, power)
These are accessory treatment.
In fiction, this has historically happened to women:
Their inner lives are irrelevant unless they serve a romance
Their trauma is âflavorâ
Their boundaries are ignored because desire overrides consent
Their personality is flattened to traits that please the viewer
With Alastor, you see the same mechanic on how the fandom treats him:
His canon aversion to intimacy is dismissed as âfixableâ or a kind of obstacles to work around
His autonomy is overwritten so a ship can function
His trauma is romanticized instead of respected
His violence and control issues are aestheticized rather than interrogated
He stops being a character and becomes a thing to be used for emotional payoff.
Heâs objectified like how many women in fiction are because of his demeanor (I believe thatâs way), it's actually really interesting to watch. Alastorâs gentleman-like behavior mirrors a set of expectations that have historically been imposed on women in fiction: perfection in every way
Women in fiction are often expected to be:
Polite
Composed
Emotionally contained
Aesthetically pleasing even in distress
Alastor performs that exact thing:
Constant smile
Controlled speech
Impeccable manners
Emotional restraint even under pressure
Alastor can not have any real uglyness to him that isn't visually pleasing to the audience Iâve seem this with how people constantly compare âpilotâ Alastor to âshowâ Alastor (they're the same person to me) where people often expression how they don't like how âshowâ Alastor shows more of himself and âpilotâ was far more contained and it was harder to truly see his emotions. âPilot Alastor is praised by some people for being more energetic and enthusiastic even thought in the show they make it known that Alastor is getting more and more tired of working at the hotel, he isn't allowed to actually express that in anyway âWe can know that he's annoyed but they shouldn't show that too much, it's unpleasantâ.
Because he performs flawless composure, audiences subconsciously assume:
> âHe exists to be looked at, not listened to.â
Thatâs the same expectations female characters fall into.
Moral containment
Women are often expected to be âgood victimsâ:
Suffer quietly
Remain likable
Be redeemable and nurturing despite trauma
Alastor gets shoved into a warped version of this:
His darkness is acceptable only if itâs âcoolâ
His boundaries are ignored because heâs âcharmingâ
His refusal of romance is framed as denial, not choice
Alastor is not allow to verbally express any real discomfort he feels
His gentlemanliness makes people feel entitled to him.
Emotional labor projection
Another parallel:
Women are often expected to regulate othersâ emotions.
With Alastor:
People sometimes project emotional softness onto him
They expect him to âeventually open upâ
People expect Alastor to open up without any real justification, as if his comfort and vulnerability are things others are entitled to. Heâs expected to feel safe and emotionally available on command, even when heâs given no reason to trust or soften.
*Mind you this is the scene right after Vox forced Alastor to watch him and Val have sex
They want him to be the stable, controlled one in relationships
And humbling him and expecting him to effortlessly take care of himself and others all at the same time
But canon Alastor does not exist to soothe others.
That expectation is imposed on him just like it is on women, but why does this happens specifically to Alastor?
Alastor sits at a crossroads of traits that trigger objectification:
Power without any vulnerability
Elegance without emotional access
Restraint mistaken for consent
Trauma hidden behind competence
When a character refuses to emote on demand, fandom often responds by rewriting them to make them consumable.
That rewriting is gendered even when the character is male.
The irony here is that:
Alastor is one of the few characters whose entire arc is about:
Control
Autonomy
Refusal to be owned
Weaponized politeness
And fandom responds by trying to own him anyway.
When a character:
Is composed
Is desirable
Withholds emotional access
Refuses normative intimacy
They are punished by being objectified.
Now with all this mind
One of the things that makes Alastor such a compelling character is that he withholds from us people wanna know him more. He is polite but not warm, charming but not open, helpful but not selfless. He performs control so well that people forget it is a performance. His smile is constant, his manners are impeccable, his voice never cracks and because of that, audiences often assume he is simple. He looks and acts as if he has everything emotionally together when it far more possible he doesnât.
Alastor is emotionally blunted, not empty. He feels selectively, inconsistently, and often without clarity. He forms attachments slowly on his own terms, and usually through routine, usefulness, or shared structure rather than intimacy. He values autonomy above almost everything. He does not like being owned, commanded, or morally reframed by others. Even his âkindnessâ is conditional and deliberate. Nothing about him is accidental.
And yet, despite all of this, fandom consistently treats Alastor as if his interiority is optional.
My comparison to him and how women are treated in fiction becomes unavoidable.
In fiction, women especially composed, polite, emotionally restrained women are often treated less as subjects and more as functions . Their trauma is aesthetic. Their boundaries are negotiable. Their refusal is interpreted as tension rather than a choice. Their restraint is read as availability. They are expected to be perfect, palatable, and ultimately consumable.
Alastor fits that same mold almost too well.
He is gentlemanly. He is controlled. He is aesthetically pleasing. He does not emote âcorrectly.â He rarely explains himself. And because of that, fandom feels entitled to rewrite him into something more accessible. His lack of interest in romance becomes a challenge. His autonomy becomes something to be overcome. His refusal becomes âhe just hasnât met the right person yet.â
Instead of asking who Alastor is, fandom often asks what he can be used for.
That pattern becomes especially obvious when you look at how heâs handled in ships.
Take Lucifer, for example.
In a lot of radioapple content, Alastor is made subservient emotionally, morally, or literally. He is framed as someone who needs to be put in his place, corrected, commanded, or owned. For a recent example of this the âexecutioner theoryâ where Lucifer makes a deal with Alastor that allows him to order Alastor to kill on command, as if Alastorâs entire character arc hasnât been about resisting ownership and refusing chains. This theory alone full proves my point about how a lot people use and place Alastor in different pairs as a mere accessory. What benefit does Alastor have at all in this scenario and even if there was one can't he just optain it himself especially without being under ownership again.
This dynamic is bizarre on a narrative level, but itâs worse on a thematic one.
Alastor is black, mixed-raced Creole man from the early 1900s. Lucifer is depicted as a white, aristocratic embodiment of old power. When fandom imagines Lucifer commanding Alastor, controlling his violence, or âtamingâ him, it recreates a racialized power dynamic whether people intend it or not. A powerful Black manâs autonomy is stripped so a white authority figure can be centered as dominant, tragic, or morally superior.
Whatâs especially telling is that these interpretations often ignore Charlie entirely. A deal where Lucifer controls Alastorâs actions by killing any sinner he commands directly contradicts Charlieâs ideology, her dream, and goes against the overall narrative of Hazbin. But those themes are inconvenient when the goal is a ship, so theyâre discarded.
Alastorâs autonomy is sacrificed first.
Instead of Lucifer fans trying to question why Lucifer sees not causing harm as a form of punishment to begin with, they instead jump to trying to fix Lucifers problem cuz âpoor himâ and instead of taking a moment and wondering why Lucifer has that specific punishment to begin with they come to the conclusion of âLets use Alastor to fix Lucifers personal âproblemââ.
With Vox, the treatment shifts but the objectification doesnât disappear.
In Radiosilence (the one-sided dynamic), Alastor often becomes the unattainable prize. His lack of interest isnât respected as a boundary; itâs framed as an obstacle. Voxâs obsession is explored, centered, indulged while Alastorâs subjectivity fades into the background. He exists to be wanted. Even tho Alastor presents and how he feels about Vox is the prime reason for the existence of this specific kind of ship Ive only seen few people actually dive into how Alastor would feel or behave in this scenario (even tho its canon now) it is almost always focused on how Vox feels.
In Radiostatic, the problem becomes even clearer. Alastor is frequently aestheticized to the point of abstraction. His femininity stays in this one which for some reason is quite rare as people often remove this trait from Alastor within some ships of him, but they sometimes strip his agency. Heâs depicted as something Vox has a status symbol, a beautiful possession, emotional jewelry. In many cases, some radiostatic fans have even admitted to not even liking Alastor at all even tho they full ship this ship. Heâs there to make Vox happy, to complete Voxâs narrative, to serve Voxâs emotional arc.
Alastor is no longer a person. He is an accessory.
This mirrors exactly how women in fiction are often treated in shipping spaces: valued for what they provide to another characters rather than who they are themselves.
Alastorâs entire character is built around resisting this exact thing. He does not give emotional access freely because he knows what happens when he does.
In some cases people will excuse Voxâs behaviour even if it's not for a ship by saying âAlastor actually enjoys being stalked he enjoys the harrassment, the assaultâ this very similar how people would blame and try to excuse similar behave made towards woman not even just in fiction.
And fandom responds to this by forcing access anyways, by rewriting his resistance as desire, reframing his boundaries as a kind of denial, and turning his control into compliance.
Itâs honestly a shame, because there are so many thoughtful and interesting ways to explore a character like Alastor, yet so many people default to shallow or outright harmful depictions instead. Iâve seen people dismiss the exploration of (queer)platonic dynamics as boring and even when they donât say it outright, it often feels like they simply donât know how to engage with a character like Alastor unless romance or sex is involved.
His identity his refusal of intimacy, his control, his emotional distance could be incredibly fun and challenging to work with, but instead fandom keeps forcing him into amatonormative frameworks that flatten him. Rather than asking what kind of connections Alastor would choose, people focus on reshaping him into something easier to consume. And that, more than anything, feels like such a waste.
I also canât help but notice that some people pride themselves in their understanding of complex issues like representation, ethics, or specific dynamics making analysis after analysis but when the opportunity arises and if theyâre not faced with anything that they personally can not relate to or can not view as surface level, they shut down. They skim the surface, dismiss concerns, or talk over people actually trying to engage, because confronting the topic might force them to confront their own perception. Itâs easier to stay comfortable, keep everything flat, and avoid thinking too deeply but doing that only guarantees the same problems keep repeating. The reaction people gave when the conversation of Alastor experiencing racism while alive and how people in this fandom would much rather fight hard to dismiss this idea rather look at how that would effect him and his relationships with others characters was telling, on how they are either ignorant and/or uncomfortable with digging deep into such topic
The fact that this is happening to a male character was actually very confusing to me at first I constantly wondered âwhat is it about character that makes people treat him like thisâ. There is more I wish to expand on but Alastor is non-normatively masculine, he's feminine in how he carries himself but he visually masculine enough where his popularity isn't diminished, his racially identity, emotionally restrained, and uninterested in traditional romance. Those are the same traits that have historically made women easier to objectify in fiction.
So, Why is Alastorâs autonomy always the first thing to go?
There something about Alastor that doesn't give him the same amount of privilege that other male character get and i do believe it has to do with even more things than just him having a lot of womanly attributes and once I notice it, I started to notice it everywhere and its very obvious that people are completely unaware of these implications when addressing Alastor but then that would have to bring up another conversation as to why these kinds of interpretation of him is the âdefaultâ and and why people don't immediately notice the implications of these depictions.
I could make a second part of this and going into more as to why this happens more maybe
This could probably be seen as a fandom critique post but I get scared posting anything that has critique and Hazbin in it cuz I dont wanna attract certain kind of people đ, but this has got to be something that is my biggest problem with being in this fandom as it melts down into a lot of issues like, racism, misygony, a/arophobia, and even ableism if I wanted to go even deeper into things, obviously not ever shipper is doing this (I feel that should be common sense)
