Do you think the inciting incident that made Alastor extremely wary of trusting others was getting deceived by Rosie, or did it predate that? On the topic of him only feeling like he can trust Charlie, honestly I'm warming up to the idea of them just being genuine friends, with no romance or anything like that. Alastor has most likely never had a true friendship without strings attached, so discovering that safety in Charlie is very cute to me. It's more interesting to me than the old "Alastor is a big bad scary alpha who seduces the innocent ingenue woman" tropes at least.
>>3992843>It's more interesting to me than the old "Alastor is a big bad scary alpha who seduces the innocent ingenue woman" tropes at least.And by that I don't mean any hate, but rather I like the subversion by having it be that Alastor is the one who actually is made vulnerable and change by their relationship.
>>3992844>>3992843Not exactly sure on that front, could be a lot of things but will certainly not be satisfyingly put to rest in the show, where ever they go with it
>>3992841I wish I could do something special for spooky month. :( If I had access to an actual computer I'd probably write a sequel to Kindred Spirits, since it's been a year now...>>3992843Personally I think it predates Rosie, but Rosie might have sealed the deal (lol) on his ability to trust altogether. He seems very wary of men, and I wonder if that distrust came from his father. It would also make sense considering his human life, where southern women were typically less ah... 'prejudiced' towards 'colored' men during that period. It's probably why he contacted a female spirit, image the betrayal he must have felt.I'm perfectly happy with it being a friendly relationship rather than a romantic one. I'm a Charlastor shipper, but not a very militant one since I'm a yume first and foremost. Though I enjoyed the ship because I always liked the dynamic of 'manipulative man thinks he's found a naive girl, who turns out to be not so naive', rather than the alpha/demure trope.
>>3992843I think it does predate it, as a killer he was probably always covering his tracks and trying to stay hidden since his fun would stop if he got caught. So he was probably very careful about who he became close to and how much he gave away about himself. It could also go further back to his childhood, obviously we know practically nothing about that in the canon but if his father was abusive as many people headcanon, that could have been the start of it.I personally would love Alastor to be friends with Charlie. I don't Charlastor as a romantic ship no matter how hard I try, and I don't think it would have a happy ending if it was canon. But a genuine friendship would be amazing. He deserves a friend who likes him for him, not because he owns their soul or he's forced into it.
>>3992849>*don't like Charlastor as a romantic shipIt's been a long day.
>>3992848Take your time with it! Gotta have the inspiration to accomplish the writing of it
>>3992847>but will certainly not be satisfyingly put to rest in the show, where ever they go with itThat's true, and on that note I'm a bit concerned there's so little of him in most of the sneak peaks we've been shown. Or rather, that all the scenes of Alastor seem to be before he gets kidnapped. I don't know if it's because it's all spoilers or if it's indicative that he spends a majority of the season banished to the Vee tower, but either way, I'm trying my hardest to keep my expectations low.
>>3992849Not knowing Al's full backstory is annoying. In the leaks Rosie said he 'overcame so much', which I assume means period typical racism, but some clarification would be nice. I headcanon an abusive dad, but something like an incestuous mother or an abandonment would be interesting. We don't know if he came from affluence or poverty, and only have vague hints at his parent's races. Any scrap from Viv would be appreciated.That's the thing, I'm kind of...ambivalent. On one hand the crashout would be mildly entertaining, but I really don't trust Viv to write Charlastor in a way that is best for both Al and/or Charlie. >>3992851I dunno where I'd even go from there, he's a ghost lmao. BUT there was a good many requests for a sequel so...
>>3992853If I get to see my human Alastor fully animated it will be worth it. My expectations for the show itself really can't get much lower.
>>3992854Hmmm….Gooning to ghost Alastor as he watches?
>>3992854Rosie's line is ambiguous, Alastor's formative years would definitely be good to see or at least be told about in an infodump. I don't think we'll see a lot more than what was leaked this season, if anything, but hopefully we get it in the future.>incestuous motherOhh don't tempt me like that.Everyone would be insufferable if it did become canon. But I really don't think it would be good for either of them. I'm not going to personally crash out if it does, but I don't see why it needs to be a romantic relationship. People get so crazy over ships lol. >>3992853I like to think that he's locked up safely in the tower so he can't be hurt by bad writing.
>>3992856Well, it was SFW... but I can imagine him staring at her flicking it and being helpless to stop the display. >:)>>3992858Knowing Viv we'll likely get nothing>incestuous motherA guilty pleasure of mine, I must admit.>people go crazy over shipsIt's the main reason I'm reluctant to have lots of shop discussion here. The last few times we allowed it on /deer/ people couldn't control themselves.
>>3992859I like the level we have it at here. I don't think that romantic ships are massively important to Alastor as a character (or at least, they shouldn't be). That kind of discussion is fun every now and again, but too often devolves into arguments.Everyone should just ship Alastor with Alastor, that way there's two Alastors.
>>3992859Would make alastor very uncomfortable >:3
>>3992867That or Alastor/yourself, both are perfect tho
>>3992859>It's the main reason I'm reluctant to have lots of ship discussion hereI think that's an extremely good idea, there's a lot of strong feelings for Alastor ships that is best to not broach. I only brought up the Charlie thing because it's recent news about Alastor trusting her and I really like the idea of a friendship between them, but I have no issue with it romantically either.>this silly little deer doesn't even know he's the fandom bicycle
>>3992873Oh, that's a given. Or even Alastor/yourself/Alastor. Many good choices.
>>3992867>Everyone should just ship Alastor with AlastorOh, we do! I like that I'm seeing an increase in pilot!Al and show!Al
Purest form of love...
Deer with his deer friends
>>3992859>shop discussion*shipApologies, I was about to tuck into a doner kebab. >>3992867>>3992874We've tried it in the past and people tend to get very 'passionate'. This is a yume thread at the end of the day and while most of us are also shippers, I think it's best for everyone to keep it to mild discussion at best. I don't see any issue with discussing it in the context of the show itself (for example there's been discussion about the potential for Charlastor), but ship talk for the sake of ship talk should be a no-no. I hate to gatekeep, but ship stuff has brought this thread more harm than good.
The full animation of Gravity dropped a few hours ago. I think they're too busy arguing in the main thread to notice. It's not /deer/ related, but it's something.
>>3992881It certainly is something, it ain’t bad just a shame it’s gonna be one of the only somewhat enjoyable parts of the show
>>3992879Gatekeeping is fine if it keeps the quality high. >>3992881I love the song, I've been singing it all evening. They also shared the clip of the Vees' meeting again that they shared yesterday by mistake.
>>3992883It's good! I expect it to be one of the better songs in this season...I must sleep, but I'll admit, I'm excited to discuss S2, we're so close now...See you tomorrow deer friends.
>>3992886Gn!
>>3992925Stupid mind controlled deer!
>>3992925>>3992949If I had a hypnotised deer I would make him do tricks for me. Do a flip!
I just saw someone say that maybe Charlie breaks Alastor's trust in her, and I am now heartbroken for him. That would be so hard to watch.
>>3992955I really hope that's not the case, I doubt he'd recover.
>>3992956I don't think it's something she would do by choice, either she would be forced into it or does it by mistake. But that's definitely a thought I didn't need to have.
>>3992958I feel like Al should catch just one break. I lowkey think he's just Viv's punching bag now, and if we don't see any character growth in the next couple of seasons I'll be convinced of it.
>>3992959It would feel very unsatisfying to see him take loss after loss over multiple seasons. I hope I'm just making myself sad for no reason. You never know with Viv though.
>>3992955That ain’t good
>>3992961Try to abstain from posting pics with female characters in them, especially shippy ones. Big no-no for this board.
>>3992960I don't really trust Viv that much, she's shifted her interests away from Al largely. I'm not sure if this is something to do with the fabled ex or what.>>3992961>>3992962Yes, please be careful with posting females, since it can catch you a ban on /cm/. I know it's kinda annoying if you want to post certain art, but it's board rules.>my art contribution to /cm/ be like:
>>3992964>>3992962Kek, sorry about that, just liked the floofy chest on the deer
>>3992965It is good floof...
>>3992966The best
