Headcanon: Alastor is a clingy drunk
Based off myself lol. 99% of the time i HATE being touched. Don't hug me, don't shake my hand, don't grab my shoulders or ANYTHING unless I initiate. And even then I'm usually only doing it because I feel the situation calls for it - friend is crying? I'm crap at comforting people, ok fine, snot all over my shirt while I rub ur back, if that'll make u feel better.
But after I've had a couple drinks? That deeply-buried touch-starved side is set loose. I will literally flop down into the nearest person's lap and beg them to cuddle me n play with my hair. I don't even have to know their fucking name, it's so embarrassing lol.
I am CONVINCED Alastor is the exact same. Alastor, who had been drinking in that flashback w Vox n looked more relaxed than we've literally ever seen him? Who tolerated Vox leaning right into his space and doing The Shoulder Thing 3x, with only a little annoyed static on the 3rd time? Who Mimzy said "turns into a kitten" after a couple fingers of rye?
He's totally an affectionate drunk n u cannot change my mind lol
