Board Tax:
>>3988295
Love my deer tax
>>3988296
>>3988298We must pay the toll...
>>3988300Silly Millie…
I wish my normal taxes looked so good...>>3988283All I want is crumbs. There's already a lot of great radiostatic fan content of all flavours out there. As long as there's the bare minimum there in canon, there will be plenty more and it'll be way better.
>>3988302I wonder if Alastor ever paid taxes
>>3988302I'm completely fine with the whole unrequited love thing (Radiosilent I think it's called?), but I doubt Viv will give us anything of substance, sadly.>>3988303Doubtful.
>>3988305Radiosilence. That would be fine, or something platonic. They're just too obsessed with each other to have barely any relationship at all, it would feel weird in my opinion.>>3988303Imagine if he got arrested for tax evasion lol.
>>3988308thats how they got the poor deer, SAD!>>3988305Deer have the right to NOT pay taxes, cause they are so cute!
>>3988308I can possibly see it as Vox being a stalker and Al just kind of annoyed by it, but to have no real beef and then suddenly hating each other is too odd.>>3988313Fair and valid point...
>>3988313I can't help thinking about the poor deer sweating as the police are at the door, thinking they found the bodies or something, then being relieved when all they're worried about is his unpaid taxes.
>>3988327Kek, that’s a Dexter moment for sure
>>3988320Very fair!
>>3988332Surprise, motherfucker!
>>3988335Jesus Christ Alastor you’re The deer harbor butcher…
Agreeing with anons invested in the radiosilence or just simple Vox/Alastor friendship dynamic. The potential there is so vast, but I have a feeling viv and co. will go with the least interesting option.
>>3988340Least interesting and easiest to write. Still will somehow fuck that up too
>>3988303Tax law would have been extensively different when he was alive. Baby America initially only taxed imports through tariffs, whiskey, and apparently glass windows. States and localities did poll taxes (pay us to vote) and property taxes (land and commercial buildings). Inheritance taxes began in ~1900 and states started collecting sales taxes in the 1930s (which seems like a dick move considering the Depression). Income tax began temporarily during the Civil War (funding the Union so it wouldn't have been established in Lousiana) but became a permanent fixture in 1913 with the 16th Amendment. Capital gains taxes were also included at this point (7%). >Revenue Act of 1913, levying a 1% tax on net personal incomes above $3,000>yearly salary for a radio personality in the 1920s ranged between $2,600 and $5,200>depending on station, popularity and experience In the 1930's (1933-1938) FDR's New Deal reforms would have introduced a payroll tax. My cursory Googlefu didn't turn up anything in how anal enforcement was. If it was tightly enforced he might have paid it to keep the authorities off his back. If it wasn't he probably avoided paying taxes as much as possible.
>>3988352>/deer/ offering quality posts as usual I love to see it. <3 That being said, Alastor, being Creole, would probably be low on the list of people they would be looking at for tax dodging. At that time they were more focused on wealthy upper class white folks, especially for a few decades past the Reconstruction era. This might change if he A.) Lived in NOLA instead of commuting from some shithole like Lafitte or Reggio, or B.) became substantially famous and therefore 'uppity'.
>>3988357Unfortunately we don't know enough about his background and upbringing to say for sure (unless I completely missed those revelations) but we can make educated guesses based off what we know about real serial killers/cannibals, him, and the era he grew up in. It seems that there is a significant statistical correlation between violent criminals (including serial killers; I couldn't find any information about cannibals in my very cursory search) and being raised by a single mother. However many of these criminals hate women due in part to that upbringing (and many suffered terrible abuse)... but Al doesn't seem to hate women and he seems to be quite fond of his mother. I know African Americans of the time had strong family bonds (low single parent rates, low divorce, etc.) but I don't know how much of that extends to Creole populations; it's possible that IF he raised by his mom alone (and I'm not aware of any mentions of his dad) that she was widowed while he was quite young. Even if she worked, had a tight knit community and a church to lean on (as the Church was essentially the only financial safety net at the time; the New Deal and other such systems would've only appeared late in his life) it would've been a difficult situation. He probably didn't live in the greatest area (as safe as she could find in her means, quite probably) and he probably wouldn't have wanted to go too far from her as an adult (assuming she survived that long; if she didn't outlive him entirely). However he did become THE Radio Demon. That suggests his radio personality was quite popular and he sincerely loved the work (unless we're attributing the extent of his power to Rosie). He probably DID fall into the "uppity" category; and that's assuming that petty people didn't report him to the authorities (of whatever type) for achieving radio host status as Creole to begin with.
>>3988352Kino history posting!
My beautiful deerfu, everyone in the series should be obsessed with him
To add to the history stuff, a while ago I found a 1927 book about different occupations. This is the page about radio broadcasting, which also gives the role of a radio announcer. It just feels very 'Alastor' to me. https://files.catbox.moe/64e66e.png
>>3988362The only thing we know about Al's backstory are things Viv has stated in early streams. Iirc she said that his father was White and his mother was 'mixed Creole', which is of course, redundant. I figure she's trying to say that his mother was mulatto without understanding the terminology, because Creoles are already mixed. Hypothetically speaking Al couldn't be more than a quarter black if this is still canon (debatable). This scenario opens up a lot of possibilities. Creole women were oftentimes the mistresses of wealthy white men in NOLA. These men often did provide for the children these unions produced, and those children had better opportunities than those in the black community. This might explain Alastor's ability to break into White polite society, which would be incredibly difficult for someone of low standing. In this scenario I can see Alastor being resentful of his father because he would have been cared for, but essentially a 'dirty secret'. The other possibility is that Al's father would have been a working class white man who took a Creole woman as a partner. Life would have been more difficult in this scenario, since his parents couldn't marry and his father would face severe economic and social consequences from pairing up with a colored woman. >but I don't know how much of that extends to Creole populationsReally, really depends. Some Creole communities lean very white culturally, some lean more black. Remember that Creoles are a product of racial mixing that was highly frowned upon and illegal, so growing up with both parents wasn't a given, and your upbringing could range from privileged to very poor. Most Creoles are also Catholic, so that super close bond you'd see in independent black churches (like Missionary Baptist and AME churches) wasn't there to the same extent.
>>3988420That book is very Alastor.>>3988427If only vivzepop cared about her setting and characters…
I shall be baking horny /deer/ soon
>>3988433Sounds good! I will be in and out...
>>3988434All good!
If Alastor wore headphones, where would he wear them?
>>3988436on his deer ears, as I dont think he has human ears...
>>3988436He'd probably need to use ear buds, but I doubt they'd make any that would accommodate his deer ears. :(
>>>/trash/77924106trashy /deer/ is up!
>>3988437>>3988440Now that I think about it, he would just not wear them and make his music everyone else's problem.
>>3988443deer would play his music as loudly as possible at 3 am, EVIL!
>>3988446You mean GLORIOUS
This is why we should have had more fun hotel shenanigans, I refuse to believe Alastor didn't wake everyone up in the middle of the night with violently loud jazz at least once.
>>3988447Just a little maybe…>>3988448So many deer antics totally ignored to shove in the terrible plot and the new boring characters
So /trash/ deer thread died, sorry about that… had to watch a movie. not worth it!
