Thx so much for baking was busy with dinner!>>4066238A lot of deer!
>>4066240That’s ok, I’ve been freeloading around here for months. I love it when so many great artists get together just to draw deer. It’s like a gift from the universe.
>>4066245Baking is annoying to do but it has to be done, I’ve gotta draw more deer. Write more about them too! Far too much too do!
>>4066250I was more concerned about doing it right, but it worked I guess. Drawing and writing about deer is the best, I wish I could draw him, I’d lose my mind and draw constantly. I should have a fic done this weekend, which I’ll be glad to have finished. I’ve been busy though, new term starting and all.
>>4066262Will be glad to see it, will have a week off from classes soon enough, hopefully I’ll have more time to finish my fic up! School does so much to tie you up, it’s very annoying. Just gotta copy and paste and double check, it all worked out so it’s good!
I wish we knew who the primary writer is for deer now that Viv said she's handed him off to other people
>>4066311Hopefully it’s some one half decent, he probably won’t get much of a focus this season.
>>4066311Imagine if it’s a stealth deerfag, who has mastered the ways of appeasing Viv while sneakily manipulating her into not fucking everything up. Praying for a miracle here.
>>4066329I already have like 15 deer plushies I do not need more, but also look at these little guys.
>>4066363One wouldn’t hurt…>>4066329We can hope, but we also got to hope all the other characters don’t ruin him either
>>4066364One… if I get one I’ll have to get all of them unfortunately. Not that that’s a bad thing! We have to believe in deer? Whether he’s ok in the show or we carry him in our memory lel.
>>4066421Rent free in our heads! Where are you gonna put all those deer, if you get em?
>>4066424I have all my plushies on a shelf together, so they would go on there. Who knows what shenanigans they get up to in the dark when I’m asleep.
>>4066436Plotting to take a bite out of you perhaps, you should get them some bedding or something, little blankets and pillows!
>>4066439Oh that would be cute, make them a little den. Though if they don’t have it, they’ll have to snuggle together for warmth.
>>4066441I’d love to be in the middle of that pile… but you gotta be nice don’t want any of your deer to be cold!
>>4066442That’s why they’re snuggling together, for warmth. A few of them are still naked as well… they’re fluffy though, at least.
>>4066443Fluffy deers are the best deers, it’s a bit of a shame a lot of artists are drawing him with the skin, though it’s not the worst.
>>4066445Both are good, seeing naked deer chest is always a win. I suspect some people don’t like drawing the fluff because it’s not canon though. How boring.
>>4066454If you limit yourself directly to canon you just won’t have room to do anything fun with your work
>>4066460Exactly, boring. Mm, delicious meat deer…
>>4066564A bunch of nice cuts.
>>4066593>Hazbin Hotel if it was good
>>4066601Imagine all the songs…
>>4066603Alastor singing every part of Hear My Hope or You Didn’t Know would be so funny.
>>4066604Lel, didn’t think about that song, just a chorus of Alastors
>>4066605He should sing every song, it would be funny.
>>4066643He would improve it! I do hope we get more era appropiate songs from him next season
>>4066646A proper solo would be good, instead of jumping in on everyone else’s songs.
>>4066671Just not enough time in the show for him I guess, they probably wouldn’t Get him right either.
>>4066678Maybe if he gets more focus he’ll have one, I mean so far he’s mostly been hanging out and doing side quests in the show. Let him do his evil plan already Viv.
>>4066717Whatever that evil plan could be at least, we still don’t really have any hints on what he wants, do we?
>>4066758No, we don't know what his endgame is, if he even has one. When Rosie owned his soul, he was bound to help her do whatever she was doing, but now he technically doesn't have to. But maybe he will, if it's something that could benefit him. Now that he's free he could do anything I guess. Maybe he had a goal in mind before he went to Hell, since he knew so much before he went there and managed to contact Rosie, and that's why he needed to be the strongest.
>>4066762Kept vague so they can make something up on the spot
>>4066770Naturally, and we know that Viv always picks the worst options. It would be kind of funny if it’s revealed he didn’t really have a plan after all, he was just in it for the lulz.
>>4066784I’d take him just having a laugh over anything else, would fit his pilot personality more
>>4066809It would fit, to be fair. Everyone thinks he’s got some grand master plan, playing 5D chess and all that, but actually he just wants to have fun and dick about for all eternity without the fear of being defeated by someone stronger. Then when everyone turns round and acts surprised about it, he can just say well I told you that’s why I’m here.
>>4066811That would be a good reveal, hopefully they don’t pull something bad to ruin it. Alastor is just a troll and tease and wants entertainment, and he should get all that he wants!
>>4066813It also works with what I think will happen to him at the end of the show, since I don’t think he’ll end up going to Heaven unless they change it massively. I think he’ll end up staying down in Hell, but helping Charlie instead of causing chaos for the lulz. The hotel being his found family and such.
>>4066897It does make the most sense, though we got a season and a half probably where they can drop info that might change this outcome.
>>4066898Yeah, I keep my mind open when it comes to the show. There’s no point in getting stressed about what could happen.
>>4066904Just gotta enjoy the deer as best we can, what is he doing with his hand I wonder?
>>4066910He’s a messy deer, you should lick it clean for him.>>4067006Put a shirt on, slut.
>>4067040It will be a lot of work but it will be worth it, can’t be having him stink too much.
Did you ever have something like this happen to you? I imagine it’s even worse for Alastor with how long and big his claws are
>>4067068Oof, yeah, that’s gotta hurt. Broken nails are never great. When I used to have acrylics, I sometimes broke my nail and that fucking hurt. Hm… Alastor with acrylics because he didn’t want to wait for the claw to grow back.
>>4067070Poor baby, hopefully he heals fast since he’s a sinner. Course we have seen him deal with being hurt before and it isn’t exactly healthy. Gotta be there with him! Certainly doesn’t sound fun breaking a nail like that.
>>4067071Any excuse for a drink and a smoke. He would sulk for weeks if he broke a nail. Also ignore the other characters in the background but I think Alastor might be in love with his staff.
>>4067074Selfstaff lel, hopefully we get an explanation on why his staff is so important, or maybe he’s just looking into the shiny part to look at himself!
>>4067076I keep seeing theories that it’s Roo, or at least something to do with her since it has the eye, and also it comes from Rosie and she possibly has something to do with Roo. I can see him just liking his reflection though, he’s very pretty.
>>4067091It feels very in character for him to be looking at himself, but if it does come up as something it will probably be the final boss teaser
>>4067128Either looking at himself or at the extension of his power. He must have been so excited when he got back to the privacy of his own room with the staff all fixed. So cute.
>>4067163Maybe that’s how he can see things through his shadow? Or at least one of his abilities with it? It’s very cute
>>4067170If the staff is Roo’s power then once they defeat her I guess he’ll lose a bunch of power. Maybe that’s his fate, either to start from the bottom and work to gain the power back or let go of the idea of having to be the strongest.
>>4067251I dunno, I just want to see him messing with people and doing fun things! If his whole arc is just going to be just about power I’m going to be a bit disappointed
>>4067260I guess it all depends on what his true motivation is. Hopefully Viv makes him more interesting than that.
>>4067288Alastor needs to have a lot! They also gotta explore his soul contracts more as the whole concept has been sort of skipped over. Would be funny if Alastor teleported one of his soul bound in the middle of the night only to pay for his meal, lol
>>4067298Yes, there are a lot of details about the world that I’m sure we’re never going to see since there just isn’t enough time. Maybe we’ll find out more next season with Angel Dust, since his contract with Val is kind of a big part of his arc. You never know what Alastor will summon you for, it could be to help murder someone, or it could be to pay for his pizza lel. Being owned by him would never get dull, I’m sure.
>>4067302You get a scary deer protected and you could hang out with him whenever he wants, it’s a good trade I think! That’s why we have fanfic I suppose but the show really needs to put the characters first instead of whatever plot they are trying to do
>>4067303I wouldn’t even mind if it was explored outside the show a bit, since there’s so much to cram in. It would be nice to have some such content soon, before the fandom eats itself from boredom. All in all selling your soul to Alastor doesn’t seem that bad, as long as you don’t backchat him too much and keep him entertained.
>>4067385It’s definitely more of a mutual thing then other overlords contracts, just gotta keep the deer happy and do as he says and you’ll be fine! Shorts of him around the hotel would do much to alleviate the annoyance of him or the hotel being basically put too the side, won’t fix anything but at least we will have some good moments.
>>4067395He’s probably one of the better overlords to sell your soul to, at least, the most entertaining. I don’t think he’d torture you much unless you really pissed him off, and if you were useful to him he’d probably end up liking you in his weird way.
>>4067443You’ll maybe at worst get a nibble or a bite from him. Just gotta be prepared for whatever he wants to do, one day he might want you to attack another overlords joint, the next he might want you as a backup singer on a radio broadcast of his!
>>4067457Every day it’s something new. It’s not a bad job, and you have Niffty and Husk as coworkers too.
>>4067467A good little group, husk is a drunkard but as long as you don’t bother him he doesn’t bother you, with nifty I’ve seen a lot of different interpretations of her character, from basically just the sort of one sided zippy maid from the show to something a bit more with the fanfics and fanfics and the like, seen a lot of it being her making fanfics of alastor and other characters doing very unsavory things, wonder if she will let you in on that, or maybe she’ll write one of you and alastor? I wonder if they all cook together and make meals, we’ve seen that nifty at least helps Alastor, would be nice to see them all working together.
>>4067512Domestic Radiotrio would be so cute, especially since Husk and Alastor would absolutely deny the fact they had any fond feelings about the others at all lol. Secretly commissioning Niffty to write fics and draw doujins of you and Alastor would be peak. He would hate it so much, but she would just keep reprinting them.
>>4067522You guys are just such good shipping material she’ll do it for free!
>>4067531Niffty would be the number one Alastor shipper. She probably has a library of porn of him with everyone.
>>4067538I’ve got a picture of Alastor with nifty in his lap reading one of her ‘ant eye’ stories with her, I gotta find it somewhere such a funny pic
>>4067542Haha, I think I know the one you mean… poor Alastor. It’s his fault though, with his tentacles and stuff.
>>4067563Poor poor deer…
>>4067592Alastor never using his tentacles again when he realises what Niffty is envisioning every time he does…
>>4067711What a poor deer, I’m sure he will still think highly of nifty in most other regards, just won’t let his guard down when it comes to the tentacles
>>4067721He forgets one time in the heat of battle, then Niffty starts giggling like crazy.
>>4067742Poor Alastor is going to have to read another fanfic later
>>4067747Poor Alastor, lel. I bet when he found out that Niffty writes, he was intrigued and wanted to know what kind of twisted stories she was coming up with so decided to read one, only to be greeted with>the radio demon blushed as Vox’s hand trailed lower>“I’ll show you who the most popular medium is,” he said before capturing Alastor’s lips in a rough kiss
>>4067748So that’s how nifty ended up getting stuck in the toilet, she should have known better Lel. Hopefully next fic won’t be one with Vox, and she better be much more careful!
>>4067771He flushed her and the offending story. Little does he know, Niffty has the greatest Radio Demon fanfiction archive on ao3 and she updates it daily. She’s the greatest multishipper of our time.
>>4067842I just manage to save that and was about to upload it! I love how many people love Alastor, I almost never have to commission anything because everything already gets made. One awesome thing about Alastor being popular. Lots of annoying things as well but… gotta take what we can get
>>4067858I prefer to think of the upsides of his popularity. There’s always new content and he always gets merch. The only thing I commission is art of my yumeship. In terms of ships and solo Alastor art, I’m very happy. I just wish we could see it without the dumb discourse, but I guess you can’t have everything.
>>4067923It’s great to have so much, but damn the drama is annoying, I’ll have to post some of my comm art here once it’s done.
>>4067948It's either a ship war, or someone drew him a shade too light, or some other made up issue because people are bored. I've bought a few more ych's recently, it's a little addictive. I'm also getting some good images from c.ai as well. It's not the most accurate to my sona, but they're nice enough.
>>4067981Its just lovely to see to see your ideas come to life! Still fleshing out my own sona lol
>>4067987Can’t wait for my own version of the ear scritches. Halloween is a dangerous time of year for me, I ended up getting another straitjacket ych, and a different Halloween one. I’m trying to branch out and give my sona more personality, and make her a little more like me. I’m not a very touchy person or particularly lovey dovey, so if Alastor grabbed hold of me a lot I’d end up being flustered half the time.
>>4067991Its hard to flesh out an OC like this and keep it feeling Special, Id probaly not know what to do either if Alastor started touching me, Id probably melt
>>4067993I really like my sona now, she represents one of my major interests and I feel like her story fits into the world pretty well. I should write more about her. I finally posted my Appleradio fic, I have a few more things to write then I might do that.
>>4067994Would be good to see more ocs in the world, I’ve gotta develop it more on my end as well, I gotta have a sinner oc as well not just a human.
>>4067995I need to get a human version of my sona. Though her sinner form is pretty humanoid so it wouldn't be too different. I like seeing so many different ocs, with different relationships with Alastor.
>>4067997Everyone loves deer! He’s got his own instant harem, don’t think he wants it but he got it.
>>4067999>tripsHe would appreciate the attention, even if he doesn't appreciate everyone's intentions towards him.
>>4068000>trips againvery nice, Alastor would pass out from shock if he found out how many people wanted him
Alastor would probably respond more positively to a cult forming around him then an actual harem, though I’m sure there wouldn’t be much difference between the two in practice
>>4068057We pretend we’re a cult so he doesn’t get suspicious, but secretly we’re a harem. As long as he doesn’t find out, we should be ok.
>>4068095>what strange rituals you all haveJust a bit of blood for the deer to sip on and he’ll be none the wiser!
>>4068106>what are you doing with that vibrating implement, how strangeGive him a few things to bite and sacrifice a few souls to him and he won’t know the difference.
>>4068113How else should the deer be appeased? I imagine participating in whatever he wants to do will be easy enough. Food is a given, though he might just want to make it himself if he feels like he could do a better job, getting him a few drinks will always help too. Maybe preform a song and dance routine for him?
>>4068122He’d like a song and dance. Alastor’s harem joining together to make a whole dance number for him…
>>4068135Now how to convince Alastor into a kiss? That’s going to be a problem
>>4068137>oh no! I’m choking>Alastor I need mouth to mouthHe’ll be upset at the mundane death of a fan and have to help, I’m sure. Bring them back so he can kill them in a more interesting way.
>>4068142What a hero!
>>4068165Our hero. Btw did you see the s2 commentary stuff on /hhg/? Fuck Viv, the tail stays. I can imagine some people will be mad about them calling Alastor a misogynist, aka those who think he’s some kind of feminist icon because he prefers women. I thought it was fairly obvious he looked down on women, in a kind of old fashioned chivalrous yet patronising kind of way.
>>4068169I saw the discussion about it in /hhg/ viv is the worst, Alastor needs to be very old fashioned and I really don’t think they will make it come through in the show. It doesn’t really land in the first two seasons at least. Most of the characters should feel like older characters, belonging in a different time yet most of them just seem generic now.
>>4068179I feel like it's something that's there in their attitudes (Alastor's misogyny, Vox's internalised homophobia...), but it's not totally obvious from everything else that the characters are a product of their time? If that makes sense. While characters like Angel are actually trying to be down with the kids so to speak. I don't think there's much that's groundbreaking in the commentary, at least what's been shared so far. Fuck Viv and Smiles, the tail is canon whether they like it or not.
>>4068182It’s very much canon. Too cute to not be! All the characters should have less of a filter then what they do in the show, you won’t see Angel calling people fags willy nilly, or Alastor being charmingly demeaning to any lady, they all seem sort of muzzled now. Who should be muzzled is Vivze and her flock!
>>4068183At least there's some Radiorose crumbs, they said that Rosie holding her hand up to Alastor was kind of like Vaggie's "shut up you know that I love you" in Easy.
>>4068186That’s kinda cute, I’ve forgotten most of the vaggie Chorli stuff tho, is not deer
>>4068192Kek, that’s fair. Easy always got stuck in my head somehow, and there was all the art of literally every ship doing their version. Now it is vaguely relevant to deer, so you have to pay attention. All in all the commentary could have gone a lot worse, I think.
>>4068198Probably could have, still won’t go out of my way to see it. Just wish more of the fandom did this to do their own thing with the wonder characters
>>4068208Yeah, I doubt it’ll change much in that respect. It’s a little surprising with that said how vehemently everyone clings to Alastor’s tail, lel. I guess the fandom has to be good at least once.
>>4068233He’s got ears antlers and hooves, why not a tail? Wouldn’t make sense otherwise
>>4068235Sucks to be a creator and not even know your own character lel.
>>4068239Catastrophic skill issue, but I think it’s more on Vivzes part of being easily swayed to do other things by people she likes, completely changing plotlines or characters for example
>>4068241From what I saw Smiles was more adamant about the tail than Viv so that’s probably true.
>>4068242Sadly probably won’t work the other way, can’t somehow befriend Vivze and make her make the show better because she has like 50 people actively telling her to do all the worst things it seems
>>4068245Idk if I could cope with being friends with Viv, even if it meant I could fix Alastor.
>>4068290A small price to pay to save our deer! She definitely seems not the sort one could get friendly with unless you where in her special and specific Broadway fanatic/ theater kid circles.
>>4068297To be fair she’s going to be in London in October, that’s my chance to get in there. I’ll befriend her, then constantly drop hints about what would be good for Alastor. He’ll be safe then.
>>4068307A devious plan!I swear they spit up his original role and gave most of it to Lucifer, hopefully it was only a single season thing but damn I dislike the things that have been happening so far, SAVE HIM PLEASE!!!
>>4068314Deer is safe with me, I’ll save him from Viv and her mates.
>>4068423Gotta take him home!
>>4068428Taking the deer home and worshipping him.
>>4068443Alastor in alt clothes is not something I knew would look good on him!
>>4068514Well, of course it does. He could make anything look good.
>>4068538Very true, he could walk blindly into a closet and out and whatever sticks to him would still look amazing
>>4068539I hope we get solo merch of his pirate outfit tomorrow. I’d take Radiotrio too. Did you see that Qin Gu’s plushies are out for preorder, including her pilot design? So cute. https://x.com/qin_gu__/status/2108180958629573009
>>4068545That’s very lovely! Might have to pick up a few when I get paid. Do love the old design
>>4068579I know, I saw it and thought of you. The designs are cute and reminiscent of the pilot which is nice.
>>4068582Alastor being handy, I so enjoy seeing him be able to do things without magic. Thanks for thinking of me! I’ll have to keep a look out for any interesting deer merch as well.
>>4068590I’m pleased to have so many deer friends now, there’s a deer for everyone and I like sharing. Especially when it supports fan artists in the community. I think Alastor would be kind of handy, he came from the past after all, and he probably has some technical know how when it comes to radios. Mimzy would probably get him to come round and put a shelf up for her.
>>4068591Breaking things you could perfectly fix by yourself just to have Alastor come over to help. I do enjoy giving a little or the artists who do good work drawing deer. Nice and cozy little corner in a sea of internet retardation
>>4068603I bet Alastor would be fooled a lot by weaponised incompetence. Especially coming from a woman. >idiots, I have to do everything myself
>>4068620Of course he would anything to be seen as a proper gentleman to the ladies!
>>4068628I still don’t get why his internalised misogyny was such a surprise to everyone. Wow, a guy who doesn’t want to move on from the 1920s has the attitudes and values of an old fashioned Southern gentleman. Mind blowing. I bet his mother had a lot of influence on that, particularly if his father was abusive.
>>4068711Having to be the man of the house early definitely would mold some perceptions into him about how one is supposed to act. Just wish it was shown in his actions instead of told to us after the fact
>>4068719Written by VivziePop lmao. I think we’re just going to have to be used to having the show explained to us on bluesky and everywhere else. Ah well. In other news I now have so many deer pins that I need a new pin board. He torments me so.
Pirate Alastor looks so good, and he pushed Lucifer off the ship lel. No solo merch which is sad, but I like that he got a pin with Niffty and Baxter.
>>4068731You’re gonna have enough pins to basically just use em as wallpaper if you get anymore! Sadly Vivze will probably have like 5 essays per episode for season 3 to explain everything.>>4068735He’s very cute and his is in his sailor/cook outfit. Maybe we will get some solo merch later this month? And it’s easy enough to edit him to be only by himself, so it’s better then some merch at least.
>>4068749The plan is to keep my current pin board for Radiorose and have a bigger one for just Alastor. Well, Alastor and friends since I bought the pirate pin. I like him with Niffty and Baxter, it’s not quite Radiotrio, but I guess Husk is going to end up being pushed together with Angel. I hope they don’t gloss over his connection with Alastor too much. Ship’s cook Alastor is nice, serving up sea monsters. I wouldn’t want to be at sea with him too long though.
>>4068750You get sea sick easily or something? Alastor and friends! He makes them very easily!
>>4068762It’s more the fact that the crew might start disappearing while fresh meat shows up on the table for longer than it should on a voyage. But who wouldn’t want to be friends with him, he’s very charming and by all accounts a lot of fun.
>>4068788Who cares you didn’t know those guys too well anyways
>>4068822I mean maybe we bonded over the long voyage and… yeah to be fair he’s probably cooking and eating enemies and lopping off parts of Lucifer.
>>4068829I hope he isn’t eating those parts hope just using them as bait to catch some nice fish!
>>4068834Maybe, he might decide he’d prefer a nice juicy steak though after months of seafood. You’ve got to have some variety.
>>4068842>>4068842>>4068842
