love that Vaggie had ZERO fucking idea how much of Adam and Lute's brain space she was apparently taking up
legit she has NO thought of herself being important enough for them to have noticed. meanwhile, Adam, Lute, and the other Exorcists were just like
Vaggie: "Yeah, I'm pretty sure my old coworkers won't recognize me."
Adam: (instantly recognizing her) "ITS ON SIGHT BITCH ITS ON SIGHT!!!"
Lute: "SIR I AGREE BUT THERE ARE WITNESSES!!!!!!!"
-
Vaggie: (answers door and comes face-to-face with them) "Charlie's not here. Leave a message after I slam the door on you."
Adam: "???? I'm here to see you???"
Vaggie: "Why."
Adam: "Why? WHY? YOU LEFT THE BAND! YOU WENT YOUR OWN WAY! YOU FUCKED OFF TO GO BE SEXY WITH MY EX'S HOT DAUGHTER!"
Vaggie: "And?"
Adam: "? AND YOU WERE ONE OF MY BEST MURDERERS?????"
Vaggie: "So?"
Adam: "?!?!!??!?!?!?!??!!?!???????!?!?!"
Lute: "You're gross and we hate you."
Vaggie: "Is there a point to this."
Adam: "Sure there is! Betray the woman you love or else."
Vaggie: "Nah."
Adam: "IM SUING"
-
Adam: "Okay Exorcists! Who here remembers Vaggie!"
ALL the Exorcists: "BOO!!! HATE HER!"
Lute: "GOOD THEN GO RIP HER A NEW ONE AND SHOVE IT DOWN HER THROAT!!!"
Adam: "???? just cut off her head?? can we just cut off her head like normal people with a normal weird obsession over someone???
-
Lute: "I hate you so much I'm gonna rip my own arm off and throw myself at you!"
Vaggie: "Oh for fuck's sake- I wouldn't have spared your stupid life if I'd known you didn't even have one!"
Lute: "IM GONNA TAKE YOURS"
Vaggie: "YOU fired ME like three years ago! Where the hell is this even coming from???"
Lute: (ineffectively throttling vaggie with her remaining hand) "YOU SHOULD'VE KILLED ME WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE!"
Vaggie: (wheezing) "WHY THE FUCK AREN'T YOU IN THERAPY???"
Can I suggest that Rosie knows he’s an elk? Ace-in-the-hole part two electric boogaloo?
Y'all, I woke up from a late nap and have had a brief moment of clarity in my time of sickness. Alastor has more traits that are common compared to Elks rather than deers. Spoilers up ahead as Miss Vivian may have been treating us like a whole circus over here. This will be incredibly lengthy
During the Sir Pentious scene, where he tears off a piece of Alastor's coat. You can hear a warning sound when Sir Pentious says, "Oh Shit", its actually an elk scream as opposed to the warning call of a deer. There's a very noticeable difference between them.
Elk Noise Reference:
Deer Noise Reference:
Scene Mentioned:
This also brings me to notice that Alastor's ears are POINTED and not circular even in his softer moments. In fact, Alastor DOESN'T have deer ears at all, nor does he have the feet print of one on his shoes. Look here, my little sillies. This is a basic reference for animal tracks. When deers do have the back print, they aren't as narrow like Alastor's distinctively are.
The reason why we never see Alastor's tail is simple, Elk tails don't stay straight up like a deer does. Normally, it's flat and will remain relatively close to the body. They're also smaller compared to how big Elks are on average. Alastor's antlers also follow the anatomy of an elk in one of his fuller forms.
Now, onto behavior comparison:
Elks are a whole lot more aggressive than Deers are. They're much more willing to charge a threat and take over territory as opposed to their more timid counterparts. The first thing Alastor does when met with a threat is to not retreat nor double back but rather to assert himself against it.
Let's look at his interaction with Vox and Lucifer, respectively. Both of these songs, Alastor, insert himself into it and try to overpower the original singer. When bucks fight one another, they immediately lock combat with their antlers, and aggression is immediately displaced with a lack of self control. This does not align with how Alastor deals with confrontation.
In both instances, Vox and Lucifer insult Alastor first. Even if Alastor didn't like them, it's important to note that he did not take the first jab. Elks are notorious for avoiding physical fights in order to conserve energy, instead starting off with things similar to stare offs. Alastor technically does this as well, as noted when he first leaves tailor in the episode with Vox. This repeats when Lucifer enters the hotel.
Now, elks have a more direct fight than deers when push comes to shove. They use their antlers to zone in on one another before tussling over control of each other. This is what happens during both songs, Alastor starts to attempt to impose and overtake both of these individuals.
This works against Vox, causing Alastor to flaunt in a manner that an elk would after defending its property. They make a show to reveal Alastor's antlers during this scene, which initially threw me off until I realized, elks mark their terriority by rubbing their antlers on trees and whatnot.
However, this isn't the case with Lucifier. Alastor ends up losing in this particular song. It's crucial to accept that Alastor was massively out classed here, and even after Mimizy's interruption, he wasn't quite ready to call it quits.
He asserts himself again when the loan sharks arrive, now going out of his way to be larger and physically imposing overall. The focus of his demon form in this one is sheer size. Why does that detail matter? Well, guess what, bucko.. Elks do that as well. In order to get another elk to back down, the larger male will flex its physic to scare off the smaller male. Lucifier was intended to be the smaller male but then he didn't give a give a fuck, poor Alastor.
In conclusion; Alastor may not even be a deer demon. There's unironically a bunch of parallels between the more animal-like hazbin characters than you'd think, which I think is neat for subtle details.
He tried his best but there’s so many—
Bonus:
imagine the cursed cat alastor sitting on sir pentious’ egg bois like a brood hen.
He’s so silly I love him
Another part of a comic that is not a comic anymore it will be a silent movie bc I cannot voice act for shit
Again this is an apple keynote ppt that I turned into a gif. help
So, something I learnt the other day. So, you know how dinosaurs supposedly can't see you if you stand still? Well that myth is based on real-life lizards/etc and how eyes in general work. So, once my dad starts infodumping, here comes some other cool information. We, humans, can in fact, also not see something unless it's moving. We fixed this by having our eyes constantly shake. And then our brain compensates for us, so we don't have to have shaky vision.
What if aliens don't have this? Like. What if they find out when one of us was looking at something in the distance, and they walk around this thing that's in front of them, and the alien is confused so they bob their head and oh, there's a thing there, but how did the human know that, and then we explain and they're like, horrified.
Humans are apex predators. They can hunt in packs. They can hunt in pairs. They can hunt on their own. They're persistance predators, which is unheard of. They get stronger when they're mad or scared. They have this thing called 'body language' which acts like a type of hivemind, even if they'll claim it isn't. And. They can see you. When you're not moving. They can still see you. If you ever find yourself in a fight against a human, for whatever reason? Run. Run as fast as you can. And hope, pray if you have a religion, that they won't follow.
More progress on my cursed cat Alastor animation thingy
I'm procrastinating on the rest bc it's got people and they've got to be proportionate and they have so many parts ugh
Never knew I needed Rosie and Katy Killjoy to be gossip buddies so bad lmao
