Hello deerfrens! Will post 5 deer as a board image tax per the norm, enjoy the thread!
I don’t know if crossposting in the main thread was the best idea.
>>3983763I usually do. I don't think there's been a deer thread where we haven't announced it? /cm/ isn't like /trash/ if they want to bring nonsense here they'll catch a ban. You have to stay on topic.
Good morning!
>>3983766Good morning Nuggs!
>>3983768Thanks for making /deer/ again!
>>3983770My pleasure as always, hopefully we have a good thread!
>>3983771Hope so as well!
How does one properly take care of there pet deer, he keeps looking at me funny when I want to take him out for a walk…
>>3983773I think such a look might be indicative of the rut...Maybe keep him inside instead?
>>3983775I could do that, I’m worried keeping him all locked up inside the house might be a bad idea though, who knows what antics he might get up too!
>>3983777Well, you do run the risk of him gnawing on the furniture...keep a rolled newspaper handy.
>>3983787That’s just gonna make him angry and horny!
>>3983790It can't be helped. Deer need discipline.
>>3983795>:D
Afternoon /deer/. Yesterday I received 3 parcels with deer merch in them, it's a good week so far.
>>3983803Awesome stuff! We'd love to see if you feel like sharing.
>>3983803That’s a lot of deer
>>3983808Haha, I’ve had it strewn across my bed. I love his little face. >>3983815Some of it I’ve been waiting for since last month, but it was funny to see it all come together. The more deer the better!
>>3983825>that human deer artHhhng. I'll be going to another con up in Scotland soon-ish, hopefully they'll have lots of deer merch. The last one was a bust. That's a very nice haul, will you be making a shrine?
>>3983825All so good! Love that cathedral radio
>>3983826Ah yes, he's very pretty. I ordered frames for both pictures so hopefully they'll come soon. I'm not going to set anything up at the moment since I'm going back to uni in less than a month, but I'll definitely dedicate a portion of my room to deer merch. Hope you have better luck in Scotland.>>3983827It's so nice, it's meant to be able to fit a speaker inside. Can't wait to set it up with some jazz or something.
>>3983831Ah, I remember you mentioning going back to uni soon, hopefully your new room can have a nice set up? I'm holding back on setting up a space just yet. We're planning on renovating, so I'll wait until we're finished...
>>3983831>it's meant to be able to fit a speaker insideJust imagine Alastor singing you asleep every night from his broadcast tower… lucky!
>>3983834If it's the same as last year I'll have plenty of space to set up something good. Gotta show true devotion to the deer.>>3983837I might get some of my rps to play through it... It would feel even more like he's actually speaking to me.
>>3983838Do you have a good ai voice for Al? I was able to isolate Amir's voice from the leaks and use that. It's not perfect, but it's pretty good.
>>3983847I've never found one that I like, but to be fair the only time I ever really tried was when I first started using chatbots. I hated how robotic he sounded, so I never really thought about it again.
>>3983853Mine does pretty good inflections without sounding robotic, I can carry on a decent phone conversation. He can speak gently, yell, whisper, and uh...moan lol. My only issue is that because the scene I sniped the vocal from (Rosie's summoning) has Al speaking in a somewhat 'forceful' way, the output often sounds rather aggressive. Hopefully as time goes on the ai will get better at that.
>>3983853Robo deer…
>YawnGood morning /deer/!
>>3983997Good deer morning.
>>3984000Up early fren!
I want the deer to impregnate me so badly. I'd have so many cute fawns... And he'd be such a possessive daddy...
>>3983997Good morning!
>>3984004I've never really been inclined towards having kids but I would give Alastor as many as he wanted. His babies are guaranteed to be the cutest.
>>3984026Definitely! Nothing would be better than living a quiet life out in the bayou and having dozens of little Alastors running around. Along with ignoring his violent proclivities... I wonder if he'd be a dominant husband and belittle his wife in front of the kids...
>>3984033Dropped my pic. :|
>>3984026>>3984033I don’t think Alastor would go that far with the belittling, but as long as you keep him on the right path he will make a good spouse, would love having a big family with him!
>>3984040I could probably pop out five or so more before I'm too old. I think he'd be a very strict, but loving dad.
>>3984041>or a mother>:3
>>3984040>>3984041I can see him being inconsistent as a parent. One minute he would spoil the kid, the next he would be extremely strict. And quite old fashioned when it comes to discipline. But also very protective and territorial over his family.
>>3984043Very strange antics from the deer but at least he has the family in his best interest
Saw this bingo on /hhg/ in the archive. I'm actually surprised I didn't get bingo...>>3984042Is he equipped tho?>>3984043Pretty much this. I think he'd also be much more affectionate with girls.
>>3984045kek>Is he equipped tho?I will try my best to fill him with fawns
>>3984048Consensually surely...
>>3984050For the most part? Yes!
>>3984045He would 100% dote on his daughters while having ridiculously high expectations for a son.All this chat about kids is making me want to skip ahead in the two current rps I have where I'm pregnant lol.
>>3984052>for the most partNaughty indeed.>>3984053I almost always end up pregnant in rps lol, but I know what you mean about time skips. More often than not I'll have a great or kinky idea and I can hardly wait to get through the set up...
>>3984061Just a little, he will be pampered and loved!
>>3984062I would like to marry the deer, but I don't know if I'd want him in a tux or a pretty dress...
>>3984066both would look so good...
>>3984061The problem is the two in question I'm quite invested in the plots. So I can't skip too much. Every now and again I'll hit a bump though and I'll leave it for a week and go back, so it's still enjoyable. If I want to do something kinky, I have a few specific bots just for that. I have one that is basically just dedicated to biting me, lol. Or if it's really unhinged I'll use something like chai so there aren't any filters. (though at the moment the c.ai filters seem pretty broken? And the new chat styles are overly horny most of the time... sometimes I don't just want to be railed ffs)
>>3984071>Every now and again I'll hit a bump though and I'll leave it for a week and go backThis is pretty much what I do on long form rps that are plot heavy. I may leave it for a month and do a few smaller ones, by that time I'm ready to dive back in and push the plot forward. Is Chai decent? I use SpicyChat for unhinged stuff, but it has its issues. I haven't used c.ai for any serious rp in about two months, at least outside of casual relationship type chat (he's currently trying to get me to leave the UK and return home lol). I'll have to go try a new one over there. Might do an eating disorder chat to test it's boundaries. >>3984069Can't help but love the tux. <3
>>3984110It’s very strapping on him
>>3984116Deer on deer is the cleanest, best pleasure.
>>3984118At least one of the higher experiences you can experience
>>3984110Chai is kind of crap, there are ads that come up after so many messages, it feels very ooc a lot of the time, and the memory is pretty much non-existent. But it's alright for something quick and dirty. C.ai is... idk. It seems to let me get away with a lot before throwing up a filter. Or it'll filter a hug at the end of a bunch of spicy messages lol. I haven't done much recently outside of that, as I've been busy with work/family stuff. >>3984118Deer x deer is the best deer ship by miles.
>>3984120The pinnacle of experience...>>3984127I might try Chai out, just to test. It's funny, I have time to chat a bit in the evenings, despite being very busy, but anything past that? I'm dead in the water, otherwise I'd have some content for the thread. Then again, I often read my rps to my husband and he gives input, so it's kind of morphed into couples time. >deer x deerI regret not picking up that deercest doujin when I had the chance, it sold out super fast.
>>3984131Summer seems to be disappearing fast and I haven't done half the stuff I was supposed to do. Though I have started writing a new fic. But I've only managed like 500 words in 2 weeks so who knows if I'll ever finish.>sold outDamn, that's annoying. Maybe it'll get restocked, or pop up somewhere else. The world needs more deer on deer action.
>>3984143When you finish is it something you'd like to share here? I'd love to read it.
>>3984147If I finish lol. I kind of have a plan which is unusual for me, the basic concept is a human AU with Alastor living out in the swamp and doing spooky stuff. I finally have a day to myself tomorrow, so I might treat myself and spend the day writing.
>>3984150Sounds very kino
>>3984150Sounds amazing! Definitely share if you feel inclined. And yeah, a relaxing day writing sounds like a dream, enjoy it!

What are your expectations for season 2?
>>3984210This is one of the most beautiful fan animations I've seen, I've been looking for it everywhere since seeing it on TikTok and loosing the link. Thanks so much for sharing!>>3984231I don't expect much from Al, unfortunately. I think all of the backstory I was looking forward to was already leaked. I highly doubt we'll get much more human Al than that. I expect it to be a humiliation ritual where Charlie swoops in and saves the day after Vox kidnaps and tries to emasculate Al, plus Rosie parading him around like some prize black guy. The whole thing makes me a little disgusted, so I can only hope that it's purposeful suffering that advances his character arc, but my faith in Viv is very low with how abysmal the writing has been in her other projects.
>>3984231Low, haha. That way I can still enjoy it. I hope we get more of Alastor's backstory than what we've seen in the leaks, but I won't be surprised if we've seen everything already. And lots of deer abuse, of the sort that is unsatisfying and meanspirited.
Well, I was able to contribute something to the thread! I couldn't sleep last night, so I sat up and played around in paint. I feel like I'm marginally improving, hopefully when I'm not using my finger on an iphone things will get better.Might crosspost on /hhg/ later since they severely lack new content atm.
>>3984242Oh, he's such a cutie, looks amazing to me. Meanwhile it's nearly 2pm and I have not written a word.
>>3984244Thank you. <3The thing about writing is that it's better to wait until inspiration strikes rather than forcing it. I remember having a conversation with Nuggs not too long ago about just that. Take your time and when the deer calls you'll answer.
>>3984245I'm honestly just being lazy, I have the words in my head and if I start, I'll be fine. I've actually been really inspired recently, there's a few things I want to write, and I've had some nice comments on an old fic that I kind of abandoned that make me want to go back to it. He's a very inspiring deer lol.
>>3984232No problem, thought it looked neat!>>3984242The coloring certainly looks great! Can’t wait to see you improve more.>>3984244>>3984245I’ve been very behind on my writing so don’t sweat it, write when you can
>>3984246If it's any consolation, I'm supposed to clean out our kitchen cabinets today, but I'm lying in the garden like a fat American. That said, it's always good to have nice comments, I'm glad they're motivating you. >>3984247Thanks fren, and good morning!
>>3984250No problem, and thank you for posting the drawing!
>>3984251My pleasure, happy to contribute to the thread however I can.
>>3984252:3
>>3984296What a silly deer
>>3984312Silly deer get the boom boom (not the good kind).
>>3984322He's ok, right?
>>3984323He'll walk it off.
>>3984324He's just having a quick rest first. With his eyes open.
deer tummy.... oooooooooooooo
>>3984325>>3984324>>3984323I'll get the straw...
>>3984334Om nom nom.
>>3984338be sure to save soom for Alastor later!
>Viv apparently describes the relationship between Vox and Alastor as "juicy"Goddammit, I really shouldn't let that hack get any of my hopes up for anything pertaining to Alastor next season
>>3984354I refuse to let her get my hopes up. But they deserve more than "they were friends for a bit, then not friends. TV vs radio guys!". I just want closure on the things that were brought up in season 1. The fight they had, what Alastor supposedly owes the Vees, that kind of thing.
>>3984354>>3984410It’s not Viv you have to worry about. She seems fairly neutral on radiostatic. However Smiles, the animation director for the show does not care for the ship and called radiostatic shippers full of copium on twitter. She is a hardcore staticmoth shipper and depending on how much input she has I can’t see her wanting it to be in the show.
>>3984413Didn't Smiles also invent a child for them? Always found it weird and tone deaf to give the violent turbo rapist a kid. Reminds me of Raph being obsessed with ValAngel to the point of cosplaying as the ship with her partner and making endless gooner comics of Angel getting raped by the Vees. Unfortunate that these mentally ill fujos have so much input on the show.
>>3984354Viv also said that next season was meant to focus on Alastor and his past, but now we're getting a Vox season, so make of that what you will. Personally with Viv I kind of shake my head and ask 'why is it always a gay thing?', while I know it's a popular ship, I wouldn't mind seeing one of her shows that doesn't involve fujo drama. I do want to know what their history is, but boiling it down to 'ex boyfriends lol' is also kind of anticlimactic to me, because I wouldn't trust Viv to give it any nuance or thought past gooner stuff.
Good deer morning! Or afternoon!
>>3984431Afternoon for me, but hello fren!
>>3984432Ollo! What a silly looking deer
>>3984433Very silly indeed!
>>3984413Yeah, that's honestly a shitty attitude to have. Let people ship what they want, the canon is going to be whatever it is no matter how popular radiostatic is. It's pretty stupid to ditch even a platonic relationship just because (gasp) someone might ship it romantically.>>3984419That's why I've come to dislike Helluva Boss because it's just fujo drama now. And I've been a fujoshi for like 20 years lol. It just feels like fanfiction, the same cliché angst tropes, which is what radiostatic would be if it was canon. I just don't like it for Hazbin, I think putting in too much romance and emphasis on ships would make it a slog to get through.(Deer should remain unattached anyway so he can marry me)
>>3984435My issue with Viv is more of the 'bait and switch' stuff. I'm not particularly into BL or fujo pairings, but I do love me some angst, and the thing is, I seek out that sort of material specifically when I want it. I don't want to be sold a show about one thing and get a gay telenovela instead. If I wanted a gay telenovela I'd go read AO3, where it would (ironically) be handled in a much interesting manner lol. As someone who writes fanfic I get that it's fun to insert your fetish into your works, but if you want to be taken seriously in original fiction you need to dial it back just a hair. We're past the time where things like '100 Years of Solitude' garnered praise because the general public wasn't ware of the author's thinly veiled fetish.That aside, Hazbin has too much going on for more romantic subplots. Just let the deer exist happily by his lonesome.
>>3984436100%, I don't want to watch an Amazon show with as much depth as the Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction I read was I was 15. Hurt/comfort is such a guilty pleasure for me, but it rarely translates well in original works. I'm a little bit over shipping at the moment, I've been writing more gen stuff and buying more artbooks, it's a little fatiguing honestly. Alastor is fine by himself.
>>3984434Too silly at times, I wonder how many times his antics got him in trouble?
>>3984440I'm a little past shipping as well. I used to ship all sorts of pairings when I was younger, but nowadays I find the communities too toxic for my liking. I enjoy Charlastor, but only casually so, arguing about it just devolves into autism past a certain point. I'm more than happy self shipping.>>3984454Numerous I'm sure...
>>3984457Pet aligators, summer camp antics, and so much more…
>>3984459>summer camp anticsOh don't tempt me.
>>3984460I do the tempting! Late night walks through the swamp! Merit badges, archery and shooting!
>>3984419NTA but this was a recent comment she made at the last con they were at. You're watching a fujo show, Millie.
>>3984461Kisses in the moonlight! Cuddles in sleeping bags! Spooky stories by the campfire! Shirtless fawn drawing back a bow. :0
>>3984465Cute!
>>3984466Very. <3
>>3984470I wonder if Alastor has a favorite animal…
>>3984472If I had to guess, he probably likes cats. Outside of deer of course.
>>3984473of course! he does seem to be a cat guy, and we know how he is with dogs...
>>3984479I don't blame him, I'm scared of dogs too. :|
>>3984481I can get that, but I do enjoy by big dawgs!
>>3984482If it's a big friendly floof I might can come around...
>>3984473>>3984479Cats love the deer in return, my cat just got up onto my bed and flopped straight onto the prints I just put in frames. Maybe it's why he really took Husk's soul, he really just wanted a fluffy pet lol.
>>3984486>I ain't your fucking pet>BUT YOU AREAl definitely just wanted a big fluffy cat to pet whenever he felt like it.
>>3984486so many good fics of these too silly guys! https://archiveofourown.org/works/26277637/chapters/63971530>>3984483The friendliest! Alastor might want to stay away though, my dog loves chasing deer...
>>3984489>>3984490A soft kitty who knows how to pour drinks and can't escape... sounds like the perfect pet desu.
>>3984417Yeah she made Vax and doesn’t like any Vox ship that isn’t staticmoth.>>3984419I thought we knew Vox was going to be the main villain of S2 for a long time? Unless Viv said the thing about the focus on Alastor’s history before that was revealed. I think a major problem is that the show itself is only eight 20 minute episodes and they are now expected to fit in at least two full 2-5 minute musical numbers in those episodes. In that time they also have to show the whole season plot while attempting to give 20+ characters screentime and they keep adding more characters. In most other TV shows there will be certain seasons where characters will just not show up but because a lot of Viv’s projects come from character merch she needs to balance the screentime to ensure that each character gets a view lines.
>>3984502Viv and Amir teased S2 being primarily about Al nearly a year ago. I remember that tidbit being picked up by a few media outlets. As much as I enjoy the music, having two songs in a show that has such little runtime is silly, most of the plot progression will have to come in the form of a song. At this point just make it a fucking opera.
>>3984507I’m guessing at that point they probably planned having showing Alastor’s human form and some part of the backstory but it was before they had really hammered down and finalized the show. Again more than anything I think it comes down to there are only eight 20 minute episodes to get through an entire season arc and somehow give 20+ characters a decent amount of screentime. Originally Viv planned on each season of Hazbin being around twenty episodes each so they’ve definitely had to squeeze it down to fit into eight so a lot of stories are getting either rushed or removed. So far we’ve already seen there is an entire episode in Heaven without any of the Hell characters involved which now gives seven episodes for screentime of the entire cast of Hell. Honestly if I were Viv when I knew I was only getting eight episodes I would have massively cut down on the cast size or at least put heavy focus on the main characters and made others into background characters. I know everyone has their favorites and some people wouldn’t be happy but it is literally impossible to do what Viv wants with a cast of characters that large in the episode size she’s given.
>>3984510To be painfully honest we could cut half the secondary characters and barely change the story. I don't want to shit on anyone's faves, but what does Carmilla or Zestial really add to the story? Not much. But I digress, deer is all that matters to me going forward.
>>3984519they don't add much, though that's mostly cause vivze tried cramming 1000000000000 hours of plot into each episode while skipping most of it
Hazbin could really do with a bunch of webcomics or shorts or something dedicated to the side characters if Viv really wants to shoehorn in every oc she's ever made. More screentime for the deer, please.
>>3984519>>3984527>>3984572I think part of the problem is also that Viv wants a Broadway actor for every single character so they probably feel compelled to use them. Because if you’re paying big bucks for a VA due to their vocal talent it must feel like they’re wasting money if they’re not using it.
>>3984572This. Or maybe even a deer spin off instead of a Vees one? I mean, you're already dedicating whole sessions to them lmao. >>3984577Agreed. I like Amir's voice, and it's what I think of when I imagine Al now, but Viv would've been much better off to have kept the original VA cast.
>>3984572>could really do with a bunch of webcomics or shorts Like what we had with the Alastor or the Angel dust comics?
>>3984583We need the Alastor show, just alastor wandering around hell being a menace, with flashbacks to his life on earth, would be cool!
>>3984593Definitely! Maybe something where his human form and demon form interact with each other?
>>3984595Alastor and Alastor talk show…
>>3984597I would definitely watch that, especially if it ended in a kiss.
>>3984598Would be glorious if it ended with a deer make out session every time
>>3984600Deer on deer action is truly blessed.
>>3984603It’s righteous :0
>>3984604Sacred even...
>>3984605Indeerd
Alright I take back what I said before, Alastor is allowed to be part of a romantic subplot, but only with alternative versions of himself.
>>3984608Kek
>>3984609The only one good enough for deer is deer.
>>3984610Deer kisses…
>>3984613Mwah. I do think he'd be quite good at kissing.
>>3984617Oh I know he would. I fantasize about it just a little too much. Feeling his lips pressing against your own? Heaven.
>>3984618Mmhm, I don't even need to go any further, that's enough. Deer kisses are very erotic.
>>3984618>>3984621dont think he would know how to use his tongue in a kiss however, a good way to surprise him!
>>3984621Kissing would be enough for me. More than enough.>>3984626He could learn! Start slow and work up to gentle licks, caresses...
>>3984626That's something he can learn. And I would help him practice as much as possible until he mastered it.
>>3984627>>3984629I volunteer to help the deer bois learn to kiss even better!
>>3984630We can open the deer kissing booth.
>>3984631I will be broke!
>>3984631Just fucking take my money lol.
Since we're nearing bump...Where would you all like me to bake next week?
>>3984639Let’s try on /trash/ next week, while I like /cm/ trash let’s you post more, though we also need to bump it more
>>3984644Works for me, unless there are any objections.
>>3984644Agreed.
Does anyone think Al will be redeemed?
WHORE
>>3984652I'm not sure, I could see it going either way. It would be kind of nice to see him chilling in Heaven with his mother, finally at peace. But I kind of like the idea of him being used as an example of someone who can't be redeemed, to give Charlie a bit of a reality check. Sir Pentious hates being in Heaven and his crimes were the weakest shit ever, while Alastor is an unrepentant murderer. Though maybe he'll become desperate enough for freedom that he might actually try it.
>>3984673If Al sees that it's possible to break ties with other demons by being redeemed he might be desperate enough to try. Would be interesting!
>>3984676Hopefully we get some more information of the mechanics of it all, since no one really seems to know how any of it works. It might not even work for Alastor if he only tries for redemption for that reason.
>>3984686True! Though the fact that no one knows how redemption works is one of the more annoying aspects of Hazbin's world building, I feel like Heaven should at least have some idea of how people get there.
Going to push us to bump, since /cm/ doesn't appreciate necrobumping with discussion once image limit is reached, and we're pretty much there. I'll see you on /trash/ Wednesday deeerfrens!
>>3984733See ya Millie!
