Anatomy of Alastors demonic forms

#Alastor #hazbin hotel #we know he got shot in the head by a hunter and that’s how he died #and that that’s prob tied to why he’s a deer demon #and radio dial eyes is obv because of his ties to being a radio host in life and now in death #but do we know anything about the stitches and broken neck #in a lot of scenes we see him twist his neck violently #and in his demons forms it’s always crooked #did his neck get snapped during or after he was shot? #I guarantee you that if we ever get a scene where Alston’s neck is bare it will have a fucked up scar or something #I’ve heard theories that the stitches on his mouth could be tied to his constant smile #either that his smile is such an important feature that it became permanent in death #or that whoever he made a deal with made it so he’s not able to actually talk about it #could be both even because in some scenes there’s only stitches in the corner of his mouth and in the deal scene they’re all the way across #personally the stitches in combo with the deer form and the fact he was killed by a hunter makes my mind go to taxidermy #it kind of looks like he was stuffed and stitched up #I’ve also seen people compare his stiches to those voodoo dolls #but I dont know enough about them to make any kind of comparison

Rainbows (Patreon)

#Doodles #UT #Handplates #Papyrus #Sans #This rainbow is all out of order - and so many negative glows ah :0 #I didn't mean for them to trend negative! They were just easier to imagine the expressions - maybe I'll take a second pass on the positives #Or in green's case the negative :') #Again in order of when I drew them so kinda all over the place haha #I wanted to go in order! And then I got distracted pft - thus started with red ow :( #Honestly I was thinking of it just being a surprise-pain more than anything lol - like a splinter haha that wouldn't even pierce him! #D'you think that eyeglows could also act like automatic word-responses? Like how we say ''Ow'' when we're surprised but not hurt sometimes #Silly haha #The second is a lot less silly-intended tho more actual pain #It's also sad to think that Sans' red would pretty much have to be sympathy/emotional pain :( #The kind of survivors guilt of not being able to shoulder more but he's so fragile! It's not his fault! #I am quite happy with both of their expressions there tho especially their mouth shapes - and how the colours interact with their eyes #Lineless colours are some of my favourites :) You can tell it's my pencils and not my pen there 'cause it's feathery hehe #For example Edgar's scars are usually with my pen and they have an almost hard-line quality while my pencils are soft :) S'pretty #Switched colours! I unfortunately misremembered what their meanings were oops lol #Well I got them kinda half-right - I like blue as skeptical quite a lot :D I think it suits them both! #Sans as wary and logical and wanting to keep distance to assure his safety and what he can devote energy to - I like it! #And Papyrus using his brother's colour to be grown up in the way that Sans is hehe <3 It's sweet #I misremembered orange lol I assigned blue's alt meaning of ''curiousity'' - orange is meant to be bravery! Oops lol #I think I was thinking of Papyrus' childlike excitement and wanting to know and be involved! Haha #Greeeeens <3 Happy boys happy with each other! I love when they're happy ♥ Interlocked holding hands hehe #Pinks! Along a similar line! I like pink as platonic affection :D And as embarrassment lol but hgg the sweetness! The care and love! #Is my bias showing lol - especially with the bros sleeping on each other haha ♪ They're both happy to know the other is safe! #Couple'a stresses - I like Sans' more I'm not even gonna sugarcoat lol his expression turned out so good haha #And the inverse for the purples! I do like Sans' face but his body :P Papyrus tho - he turned out sad and perfect :')

man we all know charlie had an emo phase but I really wanna explore the possibility she wasn't always the charlie we see now. she wasn't always gentle or kind or optimistic and all of those things are hard-won after battling the opposite. that maybe at some point, bitterness and anger and spite started eating her alive and she changed for herself first. that her kindness is selfish at its root, that her altruism is self-serving above all else, because if she kept on the same path, there might be nothing else left of her. and at some point it stopped being about her and started to be about others.

and as a bonus? this version of charlie would pair perfectly with a version of vaggie who wasn't always guilt-ridden, who truly believed in her cause. who was lethal and ruthless and loved what she did because she believed and ultimately it was what did her in. who had truly never hesitated before that child, because extermination wasn't just a necessity, it was a game. entertainment.

idk I just. I love their dynamic already so much but the contrast of charlie becoming optimistic for herself vs vaggie developing guilt and shame over others, and both of them finding the harmony between those extremes?

#idk i think about them a lot #its like almost a dark!charlie au but not exactly yknow #vaggie being happy and carefree and steadfast in her beliefs before her fall #the angst potential is ugh #chef kiss #anyway #chaggie #charlie morningstar #vaggie hazbin hotel #vaggie #hazbin hotel #rainbowmoth #to some extent i do think charlies optimism is a front #not like shes disingenuos #but where alastor smiles so nobody knows whats going on under the surface (manipulative) #charlie smiles so nobody knows whats going on under the surface (defensive) #if she smiles through the pain did it really happen? #if she laughs at jokes at her own expense do they still hurt? #ow i hurt myself with this one #and then imagine vaggie never experiencing shame or guilt or regret before she fell #imagine how much worse those would feel the first time experiencing them #her entire world drops out from under her and it leaves scars #both physically AND mentally #but her scars make her softer #gentler #but also sadder and yes more defensive #just not the same way charlie is #the two of them seeing gentleness borne of violence in each other #UGH i have to write it dont i

crashes ur board meeting n drags u out by the collar but its fine bc youre the one always saying shit like "im looking for people i can use" ok lol. get used idiot

#just tracing like. the sequence of events that had to take place in order for this to come to pass #1. natori and his shiki are skulking around homura stalking ban. possibly it's just his shiki and natori is elsewhere. #either way 2. natsume shows up and natori learns about it either bc he witnesses it or a shiki comes to tell him #3. natori gets in his little richard scarry apple car (this is my mental image for some reason) & fucking. BOOKS IT to the matoba compound #4. goes inside. presumably matoba lackeys try to stop him bc their boss is in an important meeting but somehow he gets past them #(possibilities here are v fun to think about. maybe natori does this all the time and they're used to it. maybe he's never done it before #but they're all on orders to let natori in if he ever shows up. maybe natori convinces them he's supposed to be IN the meeting #which is great because it sounds like some important clan thing so what is he in the clan now??) #5. interrupts matoba's meeting like 'i need you' and matoba's like 'bye everyone whatever this is is more important' #6. they get in natori's comical apple car (again the apple car is not canon don't worry about it) #& natori drives like a bat out of hell back to homura. (SOURCE: matoba is so scarred he refuses natori's offer for a ride later) #i wonder what they talk about on the way there? because they don't talk about why natori is stalking ban until much later #so they must be busy talking about something else. but what?? #that or they're both too distracted by all the near-death experiences from natori's crazed driving lol #natsume's book of friends #natsume yuujinchou #homura cats arc #horrible exorcists #my posts #sidenote i feel like that page at the end where both matoba and sensei refuse natori's offers of a ride is really funny because #sensei's reason is that it will take too long. but sensei did you know natori drives like a speed demon? think it thru... #also like. how long did it take him to decide to involve matoba? was that his backup plan all along? #also it's pretty lucky that he found matoba at all considering he could be anywhere...the matoba have like 15 houses... #he has matoba's schedule memorized lol #natori sparkling to the assorted clan members in the meeting: sorry ladies and gentlemen i just need to borrow this~ #*throws matoba over his shoulder and fireman-carries him to the parking lot*

I'd love to see more designs of qFit with explosions scars, specifically his upper body. While he'd have scars from things as simple as the terrain (for instance I personally headcanon him with scarring on his chin from tripping and falling) the main form of combat in 2b2t is end crystals. Which are extremely powerful and dangerous explosives.

The tactic with end crystals is to protect and block your lower body when the explosion goes off, as you'll take minimal damage. That is a minecraft mechanic, but an in universe explanation could be the explosion of the crystals are mainly horizontal in force? Bound to take out your legs on even ground but less likely for shrapnel or heat to do heavy damage to the upper body (still very risky and it's best to cover your whole body, but not necessarily an instant death sentence)

However you interpret the crystals though, Fit would probably have some intense scarring from them. Whether they be from his own crystals or from others.

#murky mumbles #qsmp #fitmc #I don't mean the 'draw half the face slightly discolored with no other physical consequences' #that fans do with Jaiden Tubbo Vegetta sometimes Elq or Cellbit etc #get better more creative scar designs🔫and let them be less then conventionally attractive #anyways chin scars for both Fit and Missa. They tripped F #you'd be shocked how many people have chin scars from tripping actually. It's a LOT #I have a couple more thoughts on how end crystals would look/work in this interpretation but it's not important nor something im attached t

out of curiosity what's everyone's metric for deciding between a T and M rating on ao3? mine is that i ask myself "would i have been okay reading this as a teenager" but i also read a song of ice and fire for the first time when i was 14 and idk if that's like. the normal standard for what's appropriate for teens or not

#i also watched breaking bad for the first time when i was 14 so it was a big year for me media-wise i guess #i was not scarred by either bb or asoiaf although i did get a lot more out of both coming back to them as an adult #and i know of at least one other person who read asoiaf at the same age. so my ao3 rating strategy is maybe fine? #that being said i've been described as having “the emotional range of a teaspoon” #so it's possible that things just upset me less than other people and i should be using a different baseline #for the record i don't think the emotional range of a teaspoon thing was meant as an insult but either way it makes me laugh #just in case anyone was about to get offended on my behalf #kvetch oc

May I ask for lore from your superhero au?

Love your art style btw! *^-^*

AHH THANK YOU SO MUCH !! This means so much to me truly ahhhh 💕

A lot of lore for the au is still in bits and pieces beacuse uni decided to kinda hit me like a truck this semester :’) im sorry about that

With my hotguy au the only rule I set for myself is that I’m fully following the guidelines for characters set by Scar on that one stream he did. So each role is (kinda) exactly what he wanted it to be (even if it meant making jellie an actual mayor and trying to make that work) and Im just trying my best to actually pull it together into one big au that is 90% just very silly and 10% angst backstories. I will be adding some characters which weren’t in the list tho! Like Scott (who for now is a starlord alien pirate who travels with Cleo on her space piracy adventures) and Joel (idk what he will do yet but hes gonna be there)

As for specific lore that hasn’t been out in the world yet, i can give you some of grians backstory I came up with help from the one, the only @1captainjordan4 my beloved 💕

(As I was writing this i kinda realised that this got really long im sorry, i will put it under keep reading ;-; also im not the best at writing stuff out so excuse that)

In this au Grian and Pearl are siblings who have been orphaned and have been living as street rats all their childhood. They have become accustomed to stealing and fighting (and got kinda good at it) from a very early age and steadily have been falling more and more into criminal circles.

During that time Grian got approached by the Watchers organisation who promised to provide for both him and Pearl in exchange of him spying on their behalf, being a messenger etc. Desperate, he accepts their offer but hides it from Pearl and just says he got a legit job or smth, knowing she would not approve of it as it is too dangerous and would try to discourage him and look for another way.

The missions grew more and more dangerous and with each one Grian distanced himself from Pearl further and further. (Which in turn pushed her to seek the truth and become an investigative journalist)

As time goes on Grian gets a job as a scientist and actually tries to live a normal life as a “retired villain” but still is unable to fully escape the Watchers who force him to take jobs every so often. This pattern continues until he gets indebted to Scar who saves him and in true Grian fashion just Has To stick around and help him until the debt is repaid and thus becoming cuteguy!

More or less

#berry not talking to the void for once #hotguy the siege #superhero au #a LOT of lore is spread around the introduction posts so I wanted to give you something new #even though I decided to include the watchers not all of evo smp players will be associated with them in this au #mostly bc it messes a bit with the lore i have planned for everyone #this is especially abt jimmy bc i have a set role for him in my mind and trying to shove watchers into it now would kinda mess it up 😭 #also i like having plain civilians in the au #this all might change later #but for now the only ppl associated with the watchers in the au will be grian and kinda pearl #if u see any similarities to dc then you are right #both me and jordan went a bit crazy with dc and this backstory in the dms #also yes the way scar and grian became pertners is ripped from 3l #im a 3l girlie what can i say #also so sorry if u wanted just a quick lil answer and i hit you with a novel out of nowhere #jordan if ur reading this im adding joel into the au for u and u only <3

bought like actual skincare products for the first time in years and have some notes.

the whole anti-aging cosmetic industry is really hard to avoid. i was getting stuff at a marshall’s (discount store, carries a lot of overstock from brands) to save money and it took me almost an hour to find a handful of products that weren’t advertising “anti-aging” and “youthfulness” when i just wanted a cleanser, toner, and sunscreen to help with both peeling skin and greasiness

no seriously. i found ONE facial sunscreen that didn’t have retinol or hyaluronic acid or collagen or any of that stuff in it. it was tucked away in the men’s section with beard oil and cologne because apparently facial sunscreen with no added bullshit is only for men, and women (this is borderline a fast fashion store it’s highly gendered) can only protect themselves from skin cancer if it also makes sure they never develop a smile line

so many of those serums and creams and shit are bullshit anyway. hell a lot of people can just do a wash and sunscreen and be all set. at most a basic cleanser, basic moisturizer, and sunscreen are the absolute most you need. i threw in an exfoliating toner to help even out a couple gnarly acne scars and help with how flaky my skin gets sometimes. if your skin needs more than that, you really should probably just go to a dermatologist or look for actual dermatologist’s advice instead of dumping a bunch of random oils and serums and creams n shit you saw on tiktok or instagram on your skin and hoping the benefits listed on the box will be true for you

IN MOST CASES no amount of skincare products can make up for lifestyle change. i decided to put a little more work in because the lifestyle changes i need to make to help be less oily (i literally get so greasy it makes my eyes burn) and flaky aren’t currently feasible, so i’m trying to give my skin a bit of a boost, but literally the best my skin has ever felt was when i was just drinking a shit ton of water and eating super well

other people’s skincare will rarely work the same on anyone else. everyone’s skin needs are different. when i was in high school i had a gnarly abrasion/chemical burn under my eye because i had tried a routine i saw online that was way too rough and overbearing for me. again, you 100% don’t need a 30 step routine

that being said, i used a $4 korean cleanser, a $6 glycolic acid toner (exfoliant), 100% pure african shea butter, and some sunscreen formulated for use on the face. my skin feels great. my acne doesn’t itch as much. the toner was the most expensive part. the beauty industry is a scam

#mothman speaks #and again #i think a majority of people don’t need much more than cleanser and sunscreen #obviously some folks have other issues they need more help with #but i think a lot of them know a random serum being pushed by an influencer isn’t going to cure their like cystic acne #or that a retinol cream will fix like burns or scarring or major disfigurement #so for pretty much everyone else #acne is just gonna happen to some people and it is what it is #your skin will change and shift with both age and life change #and no amount of viral masks or hacks will change that #so just like. wash your face. put sunscreen on. vibe

Sticker Collection: Hermits & Things Edition

You would think Grian was my favorite Hermit based off the amount of stickers I have of him but like Scar is just robbed of merch, especially in the sticker department.

I do have more Hermit stickers coming in though, which are some of these:

All of these are from Etsy by the way! My friends are recommending me Redbubble for Scar stickers (shout out to Willow since she's not even a HC fan and is helping me find Scar stickers) and I'm trying to make sure they aren't stolen art pieces since I know its a huge problem on that site. Support the artists directly, not some art thief or scammer!

goddamit just IMAGINE Jun, seeing Kazuya after years, she steps closer to him and places her hands on his cheeks. She looks at him and notices the scars on his face, she lets a deep, sad sigh and gently carresses his cheek, full of regret that she wasn't there to save him from all this, how she didn't know that he was experimented on and how after he learned she was dead, he succumbed into them even more.

regretful that if she knew he was alive after he was thrown into volcano she would've stopped and put an end to all this hatred in the Mishima family and the experiments. Regretful how she could've stop Kazuya's traumatic experiences from them if she knew. that if she did, they would had possibly lived a happy life together and raised Jin in peace, even giving him a sibling or two.

#tekken #kazuya mishima #jun kazama #kazujun #kazjun #angst #kazuya's scars #i have a lot of feelings about them #because they are both inside him and out #don't worry she's called the chosen and the light of hope for a reason lol #she'll set her son and hubby right

thinking about vrisrose… love thinking about conditional immortality and toxic kismesissitudes and all the fun that can be had with pushing two very unstable girls together who are all too alike and both so bad at finding healthy emotional coping mechanisms so they take it all out on each other… she sucks, so i don’t even feel bad about slitting her throat and watching her bleed out on the ground under me, but also i will sit there and wait for her to come back… just in case, just in case… all the potential for growth there. i think rose would’ve been justified in beating the shit out vriska on the meteor for the way she handled her alcoholism, but also vriska would totally fight back. more than one fixing the other, i’d like to see them grow together using each other as catalysts to make so many mistakes

#talk tag #homestuck #vrisrose #vriska serket #rose lalonde #i think about them a lot honestly it’s a little unreal #sometimes i see two girls and want to see them commit unspeakable violence against each other. then make out #i think a lot abt rose’s capacity to hurt kanaya pre retcon and how the unbalanced dynamic between them made their relationship so rocky #there’s a lot you can do with that and i think so much about the potential there #vrisrose’s appeal comes in making it a two sided ordeal though #two people both hurting each other repeatedly. digging into scars. they have a lot of parallels. you can do stuff w this

contemplating the conversation Neil and Andrew (and Renee) have in the locker room at the beginning of The King's Men.

"I've never understood why he likes knives" Such simple words should not have gotten the reaction they did. Andrew went still and looked up, but he didn't look at Neil. He looked at Renee, so Neil did too. She'd stopped mid-sentence to stare at Neil, but the Renee studying him wasn't the Foxes redeemed optimist. Her sweet smile was gone and the too-blank look on her face reminded Neil of Andrew. Neil instinctively tensed for flight-or-flight. Before his body figured out what to do, Renee shifted her inscrutable gaze to Andrew. They stared each other down, soundless and still, oblivious to the bewildered looks their teammates sent between them. (pg. 34)

And comparing it to Son Nefes (Extra Content)

"You could have chosen a weapon you were more comfortable with," Renee said. "It made sense at the time to pick it up," Andrew said with an expansive shrug. "He liked knives, and I like beating people at their own game."

and

"Do you know why I learned to fight with knives?" Renee asked. [..........]"He was older than me, and bigger than me, and stronger than me, so I had to find a way to fight him. He liked knives," she said, and Andrew flicked her a quick look she couldn't decipher, "so I decided to use them against him. I wanted to beat him at his own game, too."

ANYWAYS. I just thought I'd put all that in one single place because :))))

Especially since in TRK, when Neil and Renee talk, she says "But if you are as like us as we first predicted you to be, perhaps one day you can also come to see me as a friend."

Also the general fact that, there is a certain sense of... interest to me, I guess in the fact that Neil was purposely vague in hopes that everyone in the room would think he was speaking of Riko, when really he was talking about his father, who's his own monster from his past, and comparably made the two of them think of their own. Renee confirms this later to him(when she offers to teach him to wield knives), and Neil actually wonders about Andrew in that conversation as well.

#my posts #I spend a lot of time thinking about whether or not Andrew really thought that he was talking about Riko. #simply because Andrew knows about his scars (he hasn't seen them yet here but) #and honestly I'm not even sure that NEIL wanted Andrew to think it was about Riko. #I am at least 80% under the impression he only wanted his other teammates to think that. Otherwise why say anything at all? #Neil spends a LOT of time thinking about how to use his words and how to say things. #I also think it's interesting that Andrew and Renee both chose to learn knife skills in SPITE of their trauma #whereas Neil would (probably literally) rather die than be like his father #kinda ends up going back to that whole fight/flight thing in that context. #anyways this was worded badly but eh (by badly I mean 'barely at all' because it's 90% just quotes) #I'm tired #as a side note I have mixed feelings about the EC but I do like Son Nefes #actually I like almost all the EC that refers to their backstories rather than things that happen post canon #but anyway that's a different post for a different day #aftg #Neil Josten #Renee Walker #Andrew Minyard #Son Nefes #all for the game #the foxhole court #also im sure someone else has made this post already but 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
