>>4020969It would be awfully rude for someone to go opening up your pins, I'd say they deserve a deer dick to the face if they're so nosy.
>>4020978It'd definitely be out of reach of child hands, so at that point I've done all I can do. Unfortunately I come from a family of adults that doesn't understand that privacy is a thing when they visit, heh. I suppose if my mother decides to be nosy she can gaze upon his glory.
>>4020983Children is what I worry about with my doujins when I'm home, since my nieces and nephews do just go into rooms and help themselves to whatever. I don't want to have to explain what happens when a deer and another deer love each other very much... Everyone else can just be blessed by the sight.
>>4020989Keeping things out of reach is the best option if they're small. Once they're a bit older you need to actively hide stuff. I'm very strong on boundaries/privacy though, and even little kids come to understand these concepts if properly taught.
>>4020993My SIL's parenting is a bit random, they're allowed to go and get into whatever they want. Not what I'd allow, but they're not my kids. Thankfully I haven't had to answer any deer related questions, they definitely aren't old enough to learn about Hazbin.
>>4020996It's annoying when it's other people's kids, so you can't really discipline or set boundaries. All you can do is basic due diligence, if they poke around past that then it's on your relatives.Too many kids watch HH/HB, unfortunately.
>>4021005I kind of dread the day one of them recognises Alastor since they're constantly on youtube and tiktok. There are definitely way too many kids into the shows, and way too young. I can kind of excuse teenagers even if I don't want to interact with them, but the fact that there are kids under 10 who know about it is just gross.Anyway. I've been trying to write all day but I'm not into it because there's no Alastor. I just have to get through this one section with Charlie and Mimzy, but I can't do it. Need deer.
>>4020983Too many people haven’t learned to not pry
That yume doujin with the sex toys is up on Booth, so it may appear on your doujin retailer of choice soon.
There was a post on the local fb group for my village saying someone had abandoned a deer carcass… I don’t like to make accusations, but.
>>4021043Whenever I write chapters that aren't Alastor heavy I get easily bored, it's a challenge. You just gotta push through!>>4021144A very sad reality.>>4021206There's a lot of regulations for the disposal of deer carcasses, interestingly enough...
>>4021238I managed to get through, it was sort of necessary for plot reasons. But now it’s pretty much all Alastor, unless I put in a short Morningstar scene, so it’ll be much more fun.As for the deer, they ended up getting a company to come and pick it up. I just think it’s funny to imagine Alastor depositing dead deer all over the countryside. On a side note, if anyone is interested in the second edition cards, they’re up for sale on the official site on 2nd March at 12pm ET.
>>4021239Good stuff! I have a backlog of things to read, but I look forward to new deer content always.I wonder if Alastor's sense of smell isn't (or wasn't) the best during his lifetime, he certainly seemed to have no issues with the smell of decomp. I can imagine him having bodies all over the place.Nice. I don't really mind if my card is foil or 1st edition, I'll just be happy with a human Al so I can put it in a little frame/bag clip.
>>4021245It might be a while before I’m done anyway, I’m always busy all day Monday and Tuesday, I’m hoping to be done by the end of the week though. This isn’t something I can just spit out in a day or two, unfortunately. Alastor having a bad sense of smell would make sense. I bet the smoking helped as well since it diminishes your sense of smell over time, though the extent to which it would cover up decomposition is probably limited. He definitely had rotting corpses around for his ritual, so who knows what else he had lying around.I just want another shot at getting The Offer, I have nearly all the other cards I wanted. Maybe some cool foils/optichromes. Watch me get some and pull all the cards I just bought.
>>4021275I really like this artist, they draw some really cute deer.
>>4021286Dropped my pic, I really need to go to bed.
>>4021287>>4021286Get some some sleep, they draw good deer :3
My tenso parcel arrived, and my lunch break has basically been tearing open bubblewrap. So many deers!
>>4021256>I’m always busy all day Monday and TuesdayLikewise, my work schedule isn't the best presently. I wish I could devote more time to being creative and bumping our thread. I *try* to get in 400 words every other day, but unless I can lock in I really would prefer to wait, so I feel your pain.I'm not much of a gambler, so buying blind packs isn't my bag. Of course that means I'm less likely to find something good in the wild, but I'd rather spend my money on other trinkets, ha. I do feel for RS enjoyers because that card is going for absolutely ridiculous prices. >>4021396>the doujin Hhhng...that's an amazing haul, congrats! Definitely stuff to add to the shrine.
I want to know which maniac was responsible for the size of this thing, where the fuck am I meant to put it??>>4021409I shouldn’t really complain as I have more free time than when I had a full time job. I still wish I could just quit everything and focus solely on deer. I’m very pleased with the doujins I got this time. The Valastor one is gorgeous, it’s in full colour. The yume one is massive, I can’t wait to sit down and read it.
Oh and because I’m an absolute retard and missed a couple of things… this artbook is gorgeous, btw. I love the artist, they do amazing creepy deer art.
>>4021411That's a big ass deer, maybe towards the back so he towers over everyone?If I could quit everything and focus solely on deer my life would be complete. I don't have to work a full week, but the days I do work have me hustling, unfortunately most house cleaning falls to the day where I'm off. The joy of small children! I love artbooks. I don't really have any nsfw doujin apart from the yume one here >>4021412, so I stock up on the artbooks when they hit a reseller at a decent price.
>>4021412Lovely stuff!>>4021418>>4021411Colossal
>>4021418It’s too big, like, why does it need to be so big? Who approved this? Haha. I highly recommend Milch’s artbook if you ever come across it, it’s really beautiful, and they don’t really do shipping so I know I can recommend it safely. Anyway, it’s probably best that we all have fulfilling lives outside of the deer, I don’t think it would be good for us really to be only focused on him. But a little extra time wouldn’t hurt.
>>4021431Truthfully, if I only hyper focused on deer I'd probably be living in a hole somewhere surrounded by antlers and empty energy drink cans...so definitely for the best I'm preoccupied with other things lol.
>>4021455While I’m sure Alastor would find one of us going feral entertaining, it’s definitely not a good idea. Imagine how much art and fanfic you could get done though…
Idc what Vox says, Alastor DOES have a tail!
>>4021485Why would we take the word of someone who lies all the time? Vox wanted to keep that knowledge to himself, clearly.
>>4021431Will look into it, only have so much room and money>>4021455All you need! >>4021459Fighting for the Deers amusement and affection!>>4021485>>4021486Tail is glorious tail is needed!
>>4021459So many words could be written...>>4021485That TV is a LIAR.
>>4021500A lovely tail, the deer is not the same without it! >>4021505I need that kind of motivation right now, I’m going to dig myself a hole and sit in there with my laptop until I’m done at this rate.
>>4021528shackled to the desk
Jap deer lovers are in an evolved state of being; they are meeting up for dinners with their Alastors
>>4021570It’s what I need. I just woke up to all my lectures cancelled though, so there’s hope.>>4021578I need to take my plushies out more, I said I was going to then forgot.
>>4021610Happens to the best of us. I am still waiting on a plush I pre ordered to ship. Course I would have to be brave enough to take said plush with me when I go out, and I dunno if I can do that Lel
>>4021724Most of the ones I have are small enough to keep in a pocket, so I can carry him around inconspicuously. Doing cute things with deer is fun.
>>4021729So true
>>4021578I wouldn't be against a deer meet up, but I know how awkward 4chan meet ups are lel.>>4021724Speaking of plushes, I got my human Alastor in today! Unfortunately it coincided with a trip to the city, so I'll have to wait until I'm back home before I can post photos and enjoy him.
>>4021731Can’t wait to see him!
>>4021731Deer meet up, why am I picturing us all sat awkwardly around a big plate of jambalaya, on a table stacked with deer plushies kek. I wouldn’t mind running into anyone here at a con or whatever, you guys are cool. Congrats on the plushie, I bet he’s a cutie.
De Bergerac’s anthology might have leftovers, at least the poll seems favourable. https://www.patreon.com/posts/alastor-leftover-151656928
>>4021732He's fugly and I love him.>>4021734I've done enough meet ups to know they're awkward at first and then a lot of fun. I'm always down to meet deer friends at cons and such.>>4021737Nice! I'll see if I can't snag one.
>>4021786I was toying with the idea of going to MCM in May, I’m trying to get over my aversion to speaking to other Hazbin fans. I’m sure it’s better irl than on twitter. It’s in the middle of exam season though, so idk if I can justify going. Deer friends would be even better, at least I already you guys aren’t retarded. Ah, maybe one day.
>>4021931I'd be happy to do a meetup, but I doubt I'll be back in London by the time May rolls around. I know Infernofest will be in Glasgow again in September, I'll be going to that one, provided I'm back in the country. I was nervous the first time I went, but having my husband helped a lot and he ended up enjoying it, especially chatting with the artists. We got to meet De Bergerac, Pastel Panda Bum, and a guy who was randomly there selling handmade bath bombs lol. Maimai Otome was supposed to be there, but was a no show. Which is unfortunate because she owes me £70.
>>4021938I wouldn't necessarily have time in May anyway, idk when my exams are yet, but I have a fuckton of revision to do. There aren't any Hellaverse guests either as far as I can see, I'd have been more motivated if I could have met Amir or something. I was considering Infernofest after you said it was good, plus it's during fresher's week, and I could have a night in Edinburgh at the same time since I haven't been in years. Give us a shout if you do end up going, we can awkwardly hang out or something.
Baked a trash deer!>>>/trash/81404376
Deer.
>>4023104Deer!
>>4023110*bleats at you*
>>4023116So cute…
I love deer bleats. Alastor should make more of the cute noises
>>4023118They make such a crazy array of noises, it's so cute. Alastor definitely should do it more.
Finally done with my day.Posted my next chapter of the dd fic, it's extra smutty, so I expect few comments until next chapter, ha. I wish I had more time to write.
>>4023124We all wish we had more time, it’s great you are getting these chapters out so fast!>>4023119Alastor needs to be hugged more so he squeaks.
>>4023124I should comment more, it's nice getting comments. Anxiety though. It was excellent though, as always, very well written. If it helps, I always get a happy little feeling whenever I get the notification email that you've uploaded something.>>4023130I volunteer. Hug him so he becomes a squeaky toy.
>>4023131So embarrassing for Alastor
>>4023130I'm *trying* to push out a chapter a week, of course these chapters are relatively short (1500-2500 words) so it's a bit easier. I get too deep into plot with the themes and then the story as a whole ends up being ridiculously long.>>4023131Same. I try to comment a lot, but I'm socially awkward and replying to the comments I get usually takes me a day because I stew over what I want to say. And thank you. :3
>>4023137Exploring that is fun but can be hard to write
>>4023135I'll make him enjoy it, endless hugs.>>4023137I think far too hard about comments, I end up writing them in my head and forget to actually send them. The intention is there though. I'm getting better though, I used to be too nervous to even leave kudos.
>>4023215I’m sure that he will
I took my deer out today! No cute cafes, unfortunately, but the Natural History Museum was nice. Found an old book on taxidermy.
>>4023165I agree. I wanted to do a southern gothic style story around inter generational trauma and how different individuals process it. And of course southern gothic fiction relies heavily on the taboo and macabre, so it's a bit of a tall order. I'm having fun with it though!>>4023215I've noticed that a lot of people don't leave kudos for explicit works, or works that have super dark themes because they don't want their names attached to it. My fic has over 12000 hits but like a fraction of the kudos. :3 I think being shy is pretty normal on AO3.>>4023294Nice! He looks so happy. I need to take mine out for a date soon.
>>4023305Yeah, I know people are more afraid of being called out for things these days. It's sad. Though I think it also speaks to having a loyal group of readers, since you can only leave kudos once. I'm surprised about my Valentine's fic, it hasn't been up for a month but it has nearly 2k hits. But it's definitely more palatable for the average person, even compared to the rest of the things I write. A lot more people have it bookmarked, anyway. It's kind of a pain since I don't have an end point for it anymore, so I'm worried about running out of ideas. It was fun to take him out, I took a bunch of pictures with some stuffed deer, a gator, and some animal skeletons. I thought he'd enjoy that.
>>4023316I'm actually genuinely surprised that a story about Alastor being an incredibly nasty person managed to gain any traction, so I feel very lucky to have gained a reader base. Where do you think the story will eventually go? Do you plan on finishing it up neatly, or leaving it open ended? I think he would, he'd probably enjoy all the people watching too. I used to imagine him with me on my trips up to London, he'd probably have a lot to say about it these days.
>>4023294Awesome… museum trips are always fun! Whenever I get my Alastor plush I’ll see if I can bring him to one
>>4023319Maybe it's all Alastor haters who use it to justify hating him, kek. No, there are probably a few reasons why. It's deserved, anyway. I don't have a clue where the story will go, since I planned for it to be over. The next chapter I already hashed out an outline for, and (you) find out about his chest wound. It's kind of softly set between seasons 1 and 2, I guess, from Angel Dust being still present at the hotel, though I didn't start with a specific timeline either. It would be hard to run through the events of season 2, I don't know if Alastor would so readily give himself up to Vox if the woman he loved was waiting for him at the hotel. Maybe I could do an AU where (you) help him to heal, or something. This is why it's a pain, the nice comments make me want to continue though. He wouldn't have liked people watching today, it was all school visits and people there for the Pokemon pop-up. At least I wasn't alone with my plushie.>>4023322Yes! Do it. It was fun. Lots of Alastor-friendly exhibits.
>>4023323>I don't know if Alastor would so readily give himself up to Vox if the woman he loved was waiting for him at the hotel.Yes, but Alastor is Alastor, there's no telling what kind of 4D chess he's got going on behind the scenes, so I'm sure you could make it work. I do enjoy hurt/comfort, heavily leaning towards the comfort bit, so nursing him back to health would be a good read as well, especially coupled with his insecurities around his injury.
>>4023326It sort of complicates things I think, Alastor was pushed to his limits by everything that was going on at the hotel, but having someone there who cares for him that much might make him think twice. Or perhaps not, that would make for some nice angst. I imagine the reader wouldn’t get it, she seems quite naive and sheltered. Though I think she would try and make Charlie do something to get him back. It’s something to think about, definitely. I never considered an actual plot, for now I’m just going to keep writing stand alone chapters and see if it leads anywhere.
>>4023331Truthfully having the reader being the only one who cares about Al would be cathartic in a way, since canonically nobody else seemed to give a shit.
>>4023335I would have liked to see Niffty’s reaction since we got a little bit of Husk’s reaction to Alastor being captured. Just a throwaway line about how she’s not worried because it’s probably part of his plan or something. Or Charlie showing that she is worried, despite being frustrated at him getting himself captured, because she would be even if Alastor himself said not to be. I might write that at some point anyway, Alastor returning to the hotel and realising that someone has genuinely been worrying about him, just for pure self-indulgence.
>>4023429Not to get off on a tangent, but honestly Charlie's reaction is what really soured Charlastor. She looked at Vaggie all wide eyed and went 'what do you think they're doing to him?', knowing Val is a rapist and Vox a rape enabler, but made no effort to go and retrieve him. Surely Lucifer has the ability to negate contracts? The whole thing reminds me of the poor world building and how everyone is very self absorbed. So it would be nice to have a love interest be worried over Al. It definitely soothes my nerves lol.
>>4023468I really think it would have made more sense to have Vaggie be the one who's annoyed at Alastor's antics, and Charlie telling her that she still has faith in him, even if she doesn't know what his plan is. Then in the end, Charlie is validated because the plan works out, maybe realising what's going on when Alastor uses his deal with her to break both his chains. It would make her look a lot less stupid, anyway, and would also reinforce what Alastor said to Vox about Charlie's spirit. She doesn't have to run over and save him, but it wouldn't take much to show that she is worrying about him and it's weighing on her along with everything else. My feeling about it is even though Alastor is a big scary demon man, everyone deserves to be cared for by someone. I doubt Alastor would take it well at first, but he's gone through a lot. He deserves a little comfort.
>>4023479I do wish that we had more backstory for Alastor past just 'muh fun/power', but I doubt we'll get any more from Viv. It would be nice to see the reasons behind why he is the way he is, and then let that be a pathway to where he can be reached on an emotional level. I'd hate for Viv to make him a run of the mill sociopath after her set up in the pilot era, but it wouldn't surprise me either. Perhaps fanon and fanfic are better suited to explore that than Viv is. Truthfully discussing fanfic is better than the show for me atm.Also apologies for posting every few hours, work is shitty lately, but I should have more time for deer soon...
>>4023495The lack of information is a good thing, allows for better fanon to plug the gaps
>>4023495I think there may be something in Rosie saying that his soul is unlike any she’s ever seen before, plus she says he was “the one”. It could all be nothing, but we do get to find out more about Rosie’s true nature supposedly next season, so that could also give us more information about Alastor. His backstory being reduced to only what we’ve seen already would be so unsatisfying, especially since he’s one of Viv’s oldest characters. All this time and she can’t do any better than a character who is evil just because it’s fun? Still, there’s a lot more room to be creative the less she gives us. I enjoy the AUs and theories, anyway.
>>4023504We can do it better than Viv!>>4023512Knowing Viv's writing I just chalked it up to pointless exposition, and I'll be honest, that was possibly one of the worst exposition dumps I've ever seen. Who the hell talks to someone else about their own personal history like that lol? Which is why I don't hold too much faith in it going forward, but I could be wrong. Viv is awesome at character design, not so much filling out their personalities. I feel like a lot of who Alastor was came from others who were influencing Viv at the time, people she's now fallen out with. I'd be stunned if we got something good like mother/son incest or depression/grief, but we'll probably end up with 'racism caused it' if anything. On another note, that's a beautiful deer, it made my poor heart flutter.
>>4023522I don’t want to give up hope that the show might give us something interesting, but at the same time I’m quite realistic in my expectations. If we don’t get any more, I’ll just keep my ideas as headcanons and write fanfiction. If sapphic Radiodust week can be a thing, then so can my weird ideas. Giving him makeup is a bad idea, too pretty.
>>4023552>sapphic Radiodust weekThe fact that it IS a thing makes me chuckle a bit, that's so out there. Personally I'm fine with anything as long as Viv doesn't change his sexuality. I think a lot of us have given her a massive amount of grace with the changes she's made so far, as it's made the Western fandom damn near insufferable over the race stuff. If she makes him homo-romantic I'll be the death of straight ships and yumes, since modern fandom doesn't tolerate putting gays in straight ships.
>>4023557>It'll be the deathNice Freudian slip there. I'll be dead to the fandom though I suppose, ha.
>>4023557It’s cute, I follow a bunch of RD shippers so I get little clusters of things like that. I’ve seen a small minority of people throwing around the “Niffty is the only straight character” thing recently as proof that Alastor likes men… which is mildly annoying. Then when challenged on it, their only comeback is “well just look at him” as if that’s a valid argument. It’s always in service of their preferred ship as well. I hope Viv at least leaves it open ended as to what he likes, these people are insufferable and deserve nothing. I’m not ready for the monumental amount of bullshit that will occur if Viv decides lol nope he’s gay now and that’s that, even as someone who likes fujo ships. It would definitely be the most spiteful choice, on Viv’s part. >>4023559Haha, I imagined you passing out the kool-aid to a circle of yumes… sisters we go down together.
>>4023623I've made my preference well known that I'd rather him not get with anyone, so I won't suffer the thread another bout of my nonsense. I will say that shipping culture is vastly different now than it was even a decade ago, and I'm not a big fan if the trajectories.>the kool-aid is strawberry with a dash of whisky
>>4023625I think that is the prevailing opinion, aside from a few delusional shippers of varying flavours who need their ship to be canon or they can’t cope. At least, that’s who I surround myself with. I’ve never had kool-aid, it’s basically squash right? Wild my first time would be because of silly deer man.
>>4023632>it’s basically squash right?Kind of. It's a powder that you mix in, rather than a concentrated liquid. It's twice as sweet as Vimto or Ribena, the closest I've come to the tasting something similar in the UK were these Refresher squash mixes from Morrison's that tasted like pure sugar syrup. Interestingly enough the US doesn't really have squash, we have plenty of powder mixes (I do miss the single serving versions while I'm away), but no big bottles of liquid concentrate. We also don't have black currant or elderflower, which is a shame.
>>4023633I don't really drink it myself, I'm somewhat partial to French sirops but mostly I drink water. You're missing out over there without blackcurrant and elderflower, but I guess we don't really get grape flavour, I suppose you can't have everything. I'm excited this morning, the final Alastor related card I'm missing is being delivered. Sweet Radiorose card, come to me.
New card, new playmat… sorry Rosie for covering you up but this is /cm/. Now I have all the season 2 Alastor cards. Time to work on the season 1 cards, and promos.
>>4023661Master of all the deer cards…>covered up Rosie Lel
>>4023634Imagine my surprise biting into a purple skittle and realizing that it's not grape! I thought I'd lost my mind for a minute.>>4023661Nice! Congratulations on the complete set. How far are you into the S1 cards?
>>4023674Just call me Yugioh... lel. Rosie is cute but not male, so to be safe she's hiding behind another deer.>>4023677I didn't even know that grape flavour was a thing for years. It's one of my favourite flavours now though, it sucks it's hard to find here. Of the season 1 cards, I have Alastor's microphone. And I guess it's sort of related but not quite, but I have a foil Mimzy too. Unfortunately all the other Alastor cards are expensive, so that's going to be an as and when I have money project. Or, perhaps if I get some good second editions I can trade.
>>4023679Definitely a good start! Do you plan on framing them? If I get a Human Al (hopefully the 2nd editions will bd cheaper) I'll put him in a little frame and carry him on my bag...
>>4023704I want to do something, but idk what. I know there's frames and things out there, but I want it to be perfect. Or if I decorate my own, I want to have a good design in my head first. The second editions should be cheaper, I don't know the numbers obviously but the fact that the limit per order was increased to 30 kind of implies there are more cards, and there will be another drop in the future too. I bet I end up pulling him now that I bought him. Truthfully though I'd rather have them all the same edition, autism or whatever. I wouldn't mind a foil, though, I bet he's pretty with the pink border.
>>4023712I hope you pull a foil Human Al, or The Offer at least. It's funny, if I had them I'd immediately trade The Offer for Human Al lol. Truthfully I have a quite valuable card collection, just not Hazbin. So I have *some* experience in the card scene, I don't know if the Hazbin stuff will hold value. We'll see. If anything it'll help with buying them in the future if you're like me and don't care about resell value.
>>4023713I doubt I'll get The Offer but it's fun to cope about it. That's why I say I have all the Alastor cards, the odds of pulling that are so astronomically low. I'd be happy with any secret rare though, they're all beautiful. (well maybe not the roach, but that one's funny, so it's still cool) To be honest, my offer from before still stands, if I get another NF Human Al, you're welcome to him. I'm not that fussed about the resale value, I made my money back for the first editions from like 2 cards, and I accepted offers on both of them. Someone offered me less and I would have accepted, but they kept changing what they wanted and it pissed me off.
>>4023717I do appreciate that, perhaps we could do a clandestine meeting for deer trading, ha! But yeah, just seeing the way these cards are getting swapped around is annoying, everything from scalpers asking for ridiculous amounts to people fence sitting on buying. I suppose it comes with the territory, but it doesn't make it any more tolerable to have to deal with. But hope springs eternal, so I'll send my energy for some good pulls...
>>4023724I know by saying that I've probably jinxed myself into getting nothing deer related... I already have to wait, I stupidly got them sent to my home address since I didn't think they'd ship so soon, and I can't justify going back just to pick up a parcel. It's only a couple of weeks, I can survive... probably. I still can't believe how much money some of these cards go for though. Or merch in general. If you don't manage to buy something when it's first released, you're pretty much screwed. Very irritating, there's not much that can be done though since there are people willing to pay.
>>4023725>If you don't manage to buy something when it's first released, you're pretty much screwed.That's been my experience collecting fan merch, especially pins. I suppose it's a combo of limited runs plus people snatching them up quickly if it's a popular design. I've stuck to my guns about not giving Viv my money directly, we'll see if she drops any human merch in the future. At that point I'll be cooked.
>>4023738I think fan merch is expensive for a different reason to the official merch, yes more limited runs but also I think there's less scalping, and more genuine love for the design/character/ship. The Japanese merch scalping is ridiculous considering most of it is crane prizes. Though I suppose part of that is people not knowing how to use shopping services and buy directly from Japan. I knew my former weeb training would come in useful at some point. I wouldn't give Viv my money if I knew there was a chance I wouldn't have to buy it secondhand for several times the original price. It's frustrating, but I do have plenty of fan merch too. Forever cursed to be hoodwinked by this handsome face.
>>4023740It's not really scalping you have to worry about, just genuine scarcity, which in turn drives up prices. Now the Japanese resell market is a whole other animal, they take the absolute piss when selling to westerners. I've been buying doujin for around 15 years and oh boy do people jack up those prices. I envy the Jap's ability to go to doujin conventions all willy nilly. I did, however, attend England's first doujinshi convention in London last August, it was small but the turnout was good. Hopefully it becomes a trend.
>>4023755I try and buy as many doujins as possible straight from Japan, I wouldn't mind paying a bit of a premium to order directly from abroad, or for doujins that are out of print, but paying 5-6 times as much for something that's still in stock on Booth doesn't sit well with me. It's not like the original artist is benefitting from it either. I get so envious when one of the Hazbin specific events is on, and half my feed turns into Japanese fans posting all the goodies they got or showing off their tables. I'd love to go to something like that.
We back!
>>4023870Thank god, I was about to go on a twitter blocking spree.
>>4023872Too many crazies online these days!
>>4023878Too many idiots too stupid to block things they don't like. I made some Radiorose friends though, so that's cool. Anyway, deer.
>>4023886Lots of deer!
>>4023890They're multiplying.
>>4023891I wonder how he does that, it’s not just his black magic is it?
>>4023899Asexual reproduction, idk mitosis or something.
>>4023902The Alastor horde shall take over all of Hell!
>>4024016:( deer abuse. Need to bandage him up
>>4023998That was his plan all along! Devious deer...
>>4024026His plans are laid out in centuries!
>>4024087Slowly, every other demon in Hell will be replaced by a deer, and no one will notice until it's too late. Total deer supremacy.
I was able to make a very simple ita bag with the free pins SticksrSpider sent with my Al plushie. Now I can take deer with me wherever I go! I need to add stuff to it. Maybe some ribbons?
>>4024195Oh, that's cute! Ribbons would be nice, matching the colours of the pins. Maybe something with daisies? I know it's a fan song and everything but in my mind they would go well.
>>4024200Yes! That sounds super cute, I've got to go up to Walmart, so I'll see what they have in their craft section.
>>4024204Good luck, hopefully they have lots of cute things you can add. I still can't decide if I want an ita bag, but I'm also still in deer merch spending jail for now.
>>4024206>one walmart trip later.They were fresh out of ribbon, but I did manage to find some press on bows, pompoms, and faux daisies! It's a bit cheap, but I like it. :3
>>4024214That’s very cute!
>>4024224Thank you. It's good to get crafty with deer.
Is it okay if I post here because we have some psycho glow posting in /hhg/?
>>4024229Think it’s fine as long as you post deer related stuff
>>4024230I am all for deer related convo. I actually have been wanting to ask what you think Al might actually drink or like to drink? Is he a rye man or a bourbon man?
>>4024229>/hhg/ being retardedMany such cases. I've stuck my head in a few times in the last few days and it's just arguments and politics. Oh well.
>>4024231He probably likes his whiskey, it’s part of a sazerac after all!
>>4024235Sazerac Rye is an interesting Whiskey because it's both bourbon and Rye in the same attempt. Deer likes both it seems.
>>4024232Didn't get a chance to reply to you but yeah I think I'll just return here for most part. /hhg/ is a lost cause and a sinking ship now.
>>4024240I wouldn’t say sinking, just at the moment swamped. It’s been through worse
>>4024240It's not nearly as bad as it has been before, but yeah, it's not the best. The Iran/Israel stuff doesn't help and I genuinely don't care about politics anymore. My opinions are irrelevant and I just want to post deer. Ah well, everyone is welcome as long as they post deer.
DEER INVASION. DEER DEPLOYING ON ALL FRONTS.
>>4024249Boat loads of deer dropping off on the beaches.
What would you guys do with a pet deer
>>4024251I had a pet deer when I was small. His name was Bucky. We eventually let him go and he had a family.
>>4024253aw, thats cute at least!
>>4024214I keep saying cute but it is cute, really cute. All the little touches work so well.>>4024251I would pamper and love him of course. Lots of ear pets.
