Deaf Dog Training Log: Part 3

Deaf dog training log: part 2

Sandor is getting the hang of sign commands very quickly, although I think it’s because she’s already trained and just learning new prompts for the same tricks. The only new thing I’ve taught her is “Look at me” by tapping my nose a few times in a row and waiting for her to make eye contact.

Here’s a video of her doing “Come here” (me patting my hip/thigh) and “Sit” (pointing index finger up (you can’t really see the first time) with each correct action getting some “Shine on shine on” and scritches

Boop

S h e

Mina be giving me some kind of allo awakening stg im feeling some way about her and i have no idea what it is but holy fuck shes so fuckign gorgeous—

“Dance to the (double) dead”

Cursed Cat Alastor held me hostage until I animated him. I’ve never animated before. I have no animation software. I used keynote-

Also just as a gif:

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.

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.

Kicking my legs like Alastor in ep 6 with glee

Beauty and the Demon

Once upon a time, in a faraway land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Although he had everything his heart desired, the prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind.

He was also a serial killer.

One winter’s night, an old beggar woman came to the castle and requested for shelter from the bitter cold. The prince thought she’d be an easy target, and invited her inside. But she saw through his fair facade, and the old woman’s ugliness melted away to reveal a beautiful enchantress. She knew that there was no love in his heart, and as punishment, she transformed him into a terrifying demon, and placed a powerful spell on the castle, and all who lived there. The prince didn’t particularly care about his servants, and replied:

But if the prince could learn to love another, and earn that person’s love in return, then the spell would be broken. The prince was aromatic and also a prick, so he didn’t need to worry about either of those things, and continued to slaughter his subjects indiscriminately. As the years passed, his servants fell into despair, and lost all hope.

Until one day…

And so, the girl was sent away, and the prince never learned to love.

The End

Fucking why

he’s just a boyyyyy

okay alastor's response of learning about the term "asexual" by responding with "a sexual? I'd say I'm the furthest thing from it" IS very funny but have we considered that he HAS heard the word before but not in the modern way. he's only heard of it used in the context of asexual reproduction. or asexual plants. he does not believe either applies to him.

Back by popular demand. English Willy part 3

(Idk if I'll do another bc I feel like its run its course and unlike Scott Cawthon I would like to end my series on a high note! But to everyone who sent in asks or showed support or generally took part I love all of you and had so much fun with this. I might do more in future but I don't want part 4 to hang over me as something I HAVE to do)

Angel: hey, did you know Al freezes up if you flash him?

Vaggie: you flashed Alastor?! What the fuck is wrong with you?!

Charlie: Angel, flashing people is so inappropriate!

Husk: how are you not dead?! He’s killed and dismembered people, 'n not necessarily in that order, for less

Angel: you’d never believe me if I didn’t show you so he’s still frozen in front of the torch

Vaggie: wait, torch? Like a flashlight?

Angel: hah! you sickos~

Vaggie: *facepalms*

Husk: *faceplants into the bar*

Charlie: guys, Niffty just ran past with a torch…

Angel: shit—
