Hello!

What would be the most delicious Alastor angst S3 could deliver ?

i want him to have a full villain crashout vox style and then i want him to come crashing down to earth and be forced to build more genuine relationships with people

failing that, i want him to take over hell as the king overlord just to show vox how easy it was.

Hi! I hope you’re doing well.

I wanted to say that I really enjoyed your fanfic Static Shock (on A03) and I was wondering if you’d be comfortable with me translating it into French and publishing it on the platform (French is my native language so I’d be able to provide an accurate translation ^^). It would be non-commercial, with full credit, a link to the original, and I’d completely respect any preferences or conditions you might have. 

Looking forward to your reply, have a nice day!

currently suffering with the worst strain of flu known to mankind and this message made my day.

yes, ofc you can translate. be free. if a joke doesnt work in french the way it does in English just dm me and ill help you workshop another one. Go my translator

i've been such a stubborn little bitch for YEARS about writing directly into ao3 editor so i don't have to do any formatting later and after 5 whole years doing this horsepiss, i was finally dragged over to ellipsus and realized i've been a massive fucking tool oh my god this is way better

hi!!! i just wanted to ask how you feel about using some of your ideas in their works (with credit of course)? i love the "sin system" you put in place in Static Shock with Alastor being punished for not eating enough demon flesh, i think the idea is so interesting. i understand if it's a hard no, i just thought i'd ask. anyway that being said, i fucking love static shock, and all the ideas you implemented into it, my favourite hazbin hotel fic by far

bro do whatever you want forever

[birdsaretoddlers]

What do you think it would take to break through Alastor's defenses and become the friend he needs in the series ?

me in the fucking writer's room-

nah but fr, i have no idea and im excited to see what kind of torment they put him through to make him FINALLY accept love and friendship into his heart

Vox has been my favorite character in Hazbin since his crashout in s1 ep2, largely because that's when I realized that he's My Favorite Type of Fictional Guy: asshole dedicated to absolutely RUINING his own life through obsession. I collect these characters like Pokemon cards but Vox is so patently made for me it's absurd

I have been so caught up in the euphoria of getting this exact characterization in season 2 that I've barely processed anything else, but I wanted to start putting together a list of things you picked up from astral projecting into the writer's room (since other people in your inbox have also been pointing stuff out):

1. Radiostatic divorce and its exact proceedings, somehow

2. Found family Vees

3. Vox having a very nice head of hair

4. Vox's manic approach to planning and execution of his ideas (my favorite thing on this list btw)

5. Alastor's willingness to yank back on his chains a little bit

6. Involvement of cars re: Alastor and Vox fight

7. Alastor genuinely seems to like Niffty re: keeping the roach crown

8. Alastor having a cigarette and a drink when he's stressed tf out

9. The Vees "sharing" contractees

10. Vox and Velvette hanging out, generally speaking, and having a partnership that is sometimes equal and sometimes a mentorship

11. Vox being at least middle aged (?) at the time of his death

12. Vox babying his shark/sharks

13. Vox being a dog person

14. I have definitely missed some stuff

Also sorry to make an already long ask/ramble longer, but I was wondering if you have any thoughts on Vox's canon backstory? I still really enjoy the one you came up with for Static Shock but I am intrigued by the Alastor backstory parallels being so loud in the show

here's all the reasons why i am fucking psychic- /j

no but fr thank you for consolidating all of these!!! the answer is i did astral project into the writers room, but i also delved DEEP into ancient art stream lore, took the bits i got, and expanded on them until we got this. the car thing though the car think is pure psionic power

i have a few thoughts on his backstory! im glad he's not a televangelist, im a little miffed he's another generic serial killer. i wish he was a wet pathetic rat who went to hell for like, maybe ONE murder, or some shoplifting or something stupid, so that underneath all the hot air he's literally just a guy with the worlds worst insecurities
