"Just pirate it!" Nope! Piracy still helps JK Rowling!
"But I'm autistic and it's my fixation!" I'm also autistic and once upon a time it was also my fixation. I have some advice for that here and over here.
"I like the aesthetic!" Go watch the works of Guillermo del Toro, or go read my post on copying HP's aesthetic.
"I just want to play in a wizard-themed setting and I'm not good at worldbuilding!" Neither was JK Rowling! In fact, her worldbuilding is so bad that you can probably do better than her without too much trouble! Also I made some random tables to help develop ideas.
I used to love him...and now he's like...a fucking edgelord. And what do his simps see in him?? He's so ugly...gosh.
The biggest thing I noticed in Hazbin Hotel that Alastor is not scary. He used to be mysterious, creepy, and intimidating. We didn't know what he was thinking. We didn't know how he was feeling. He was such a great character because we knew he was insanely powerful, but he didn't act like it. But now that the show has come out, he's not scary or intimidating. He's just an edgelord.
Pilot Alastor wouldn't make this. Here he's goofy, but in a bad way. Where's the mysterious Alastor? This guy's just like "HAHAHAH I'M SO EVIL >:)" but he just seems stupid?
He also says all these corny lines, like "This is your sign not to mess with the radio demon," (it was something like that) "I'm about to end your fucking life," and "Adam. First man, next to die." He sounds like he's a 12 year old role-playing a creepypasta. These aren't intimidating, he just sounds dumb, edgy, and cringy
ALSO he seriously needs to STOP saying FUCK. It wasn't popular slang in the early 1900's, so he probably would never say it, but it also doesn't fit his persona. A really unique part of him is that he doesn't swear much and he's always smiling. He shouldn't say "ornery old bitch" and he shouldn't say 'fuck you." They just don't fit him. If he wanted what he said to have impact, he would have said something like "she's such a bitter old woman, bless her soul." or when Lucifer says the hotel's name isn't very clever, he should've said "your highness, intelligence is in constant pursuit of you, but it seems you have always been faster" because subtle insults he thinks everyone else is too stupid to understand seems more like his style.
I'll excuse him saying fuck once or twice. Maybe when he breaks his staff, and once more in season two? But he says it too much to have impact.
TL;DR, Alastor's not scary because he's not mysterious. He's just an angry edgelord
your discord pfp and your tumblr pfp are locked in a room together. what happens?
i'm so tired of the yaoi-ification of mlm ships where people feel the need to make one of them (usually the fandom-assigned bottom) into a teeny tiny waifish twink and the other into a huge musclebound super aggro guy (usually the fandom-assigned top) i know this is like a thing many people have been saying for years but i just feel like it has never actually gotten better in fandom spaces. the fatphobia of it, the gender essentialism, the homophobia, it's all so fucking annoying it makes me want to scream
i wonder if x is so different from everyone else in the hero industry is because he has 0 affiliation to any companies. i firmly believe this makes him have much more freedom than the rest, plus there's no manager on his ear yapping their gums out on this-and-that.
x's freedom is shown a lot of times in trailers, endings, and the opening by him being in his "citizen" persona – which we have seen no one have unlike him – a work life that is outside of his hero work that makes him have a separate identity as people there, possibly, only knows him as the 'chill guy who takes all the sugar in the office' than the cool omnipotent hero x.
that doesn't make him obviously free from his responsibilities. he has two jobs where one he can slip away when it's dusk, and the other one he has to work for almost 24/7 that has no time in or out unlike the office job he has. of course, there's other heroes but he's top 1. expectations still weigh on him.
he's enigmatic because no one owns him. think of him like an indie artist with no label company and with the freedom to do anything except they're also stuck in the same system with how the work can take over their lives and the audience views them.
i speak on this in my opinion and belief, how x does every move it's like art itself.
absolutely stellar
I hate the “houseelves are a metaphor for British housewives you just don’t understand because you’re a dumb american” thing so much it makes me want to break things.
Even if we ignore the fact that the narrative of HP uses arguments actual slaveowners did to justify themselves, the metaphor would be shitty, at best choice feminism, at worst endorsement of the statue quo disguised as wanting to support women(very in character for jk rowling btw).
British women aren’t a special kind of women whose decisions aren’t influenced by being subconsciously told a devoted wife and mother is the best thing a woman can be from early childhood omg.
MY MANN
gojo showing up to save the day with a hollow purple in a suit is something i didn't know i needed
