can i know more on how sadil lost their arm?
How Sadhil lost his arm
*Peeks my head out of my cave* Oh? this should be a good time/pos
So Sadhil Kapoor(my SH for context of other readers) used to be a part of department, he was a rookie who was training to be an investigator and was partnered with:
Colm Greer
//Now, we all know Colm to be a betting man (he has a gambling addiction) so I figured that I could play around with via Sadhil, I am sincerely messing with canon to have fun.//
Colm, you see was a man who loved to take chances. If there was a risk, he would take it if it meant results which is probably what earned him his spot as an investigator.
Sadhil was not like that, at the time he was very straight-laced, by the rules and regulation oriented-which as you can imagine made them such GREAT partners on the field. Colm could admit that Sadhil was great at his job, they were an excellent detective with a knock for problem solving and had impeccable reasoning but they were too restricted by rules and protocol so he sought to help shake them out of it by simply continuing to take risks on missions.
Sadhil was not a fan of this and constantly questioned Colm's methods, deeming his behaviour unprofessional and furthermore counterproductive to law enforcement procedure.
This all came to a head on a particular mission.
Here's the set-up: Gang of energetics & elementals, Colm and Sadhil are there alone, Sadhil urges colm to get back-up, Colm is like "nahhhh, we'll be fine", Sadhil is like "no, we won't", Colm ignores this and storms into the action, Sadhil follows, they're actually managing, Colm is confident until he makes a mistake and lets down his guard. A sheet of metal comes flying at him and Sadhil intercepts to protect his partner, pushing him out the way but getting caught in the attack as the metal severed his arm.
The incident leads to Sadhil being more or less "suggested" to leave, Colm gets a pat on the back and they leave, never having forgiven Colm as he never truly did even apologise. The experience taught Sadhil about really understanding and examining the trust he had in D.U.M.P, making him confront the reality that everyone there placed so much expectations on him to perform above and beyond but when it came time form them to help, he had no support. This entire incident is what pushes him to become a P.I tho and he did that .

the coven + kyle spencer head canons for jealousy issues and how they would each handle it differently?
HI HI HI FOLKS I'M BACK!
Ok, ok, let's do it then!
Lots of lots of ideas for this one! Just you wait!
(Wasn't sure if you wanted me to include Marie on that one, but I did just for the complete headcannons, hope you don't mind, anon!)
Enjoy!
Requests open!
-----------------------------------------------
The Coven and Kyle Dealing With Jealousy Issues (Young!Reader, just for the record!)
Cordelia Goode, Fiona Goode, Zoe Benson, Madison Montgomery, Misty Day, Nan, Queenie, Myrtle Snow, Mallory, Marie Laveau and Kyle Spencer!
Cordelia Goode
Tumblr media
Cordelia would be upset, of course.
She would let her insecurities get the best of her when she sees you talking to someone else and seeming too intimate with them.
But I don't think she would let the intrusive thoughts win that fight, not this time.
Cordelia doesn't want to seem so possessive. She's not like that, and she knows it would bother you a lot if it was miscalculated.
So, regardless of the situation, she will just leave where she is, walk to you and wrap her arms around your body, pulling you close to her, her eyes analyzing detail by detail of the other person.
"What is so funny?"
She would ask, pretending to be clueless, so she could take control of the situation better.
Internally, though, you can be sure that a few dark curse words and some not-so-friendly spell ideas are going through her mind, without her being able to show it aloud or with gestures.
She would have her arms around you the entire time, keeping you close until the other person understood that you were hers and nobody else's.
And when you guys get back home, she would insist that you cuddle with her to make up for the moment of insecurity and jealousy.
Fiona Goode
Tumblr media
THE QUEEN of drama and jealousy.
Honestly, making Fiona jealous is like leaving a predator without prey.
Of course, she takes great care, despite her strong temper, not to seem like she's trying to pull you out of your comfort zone and push you away from the world for her sake.
But no one (nobody at all) goes unnoticed in Fiona Goode's eyes.
She will probably go to great lengths to touch you in the best places, just to tease you and make the person next to you feel uncomfortable enough to leave.
"It's a shame, my dear, but they're taken."
Just imagine her husky voice saying that, right in your face, also to tease you and to make sure she looks wild when she's jealous?
Fiona probably wouldn't let you talk much longer with the person afterward, or say goodbye. She would pull you to where she is and keep looking the whole time to see if the person isn't following you.
And if so, you can be sure that she would throw the person to the wall with no shame and no fear of being in public.
When you guys got home, she'd make a scene, again, to let you off the hook because she's a drama queen.
There would DEFINITELY be make-up sex.
And it would DEFINITELY be the best sex you've ever had in your life.
Zoe Benson
Tumblr media
Crying, drama, insecurity and a little bit of fighting.
Zoe is overly afraid of losing you, but not to the point where she won't let you hang out with other people, friends in general.
The problem is that when the person starts to take advantage of the situation, Zoe becomes confused and desperate.
She is quite similar to Cordelia, though, when it comes to handling the scene itself.
Zoe will just cling to you to make sure she's in control and to make sure nothing bad happens.
However, things get worse on the way home, when she is silent throughout the ride.
She will probably lose her mind when justifying herself, letting her insecurity speak louder and expressing in an exaggerated way how important she is to her.
This is troubling because Zoe knows it is.
Anyway, when the fight is over, she will need some time to think and then she would probably come to you again, to apologize.
"I didn't want our relationship to be a threat, but I'm really afraid that you'll leave me for someone better."
She would hug you and then apologize if she sounded too possessive.
You would end up in a good mood, cuddling and thinking of a way to improve your relationship without jealousy that would be harmful to both of you.
Madison Montgomery
Tumblr media
If you thought Fiona was the drama queen, wait until you see Madison.
She just can't control herself.
She doesn't want to control herself.
Every time someone comes close to you, she pulls you close to her very willingly and gives that typical killer look to whoever is looking at you two.
Madison is extremely possessive, especially when it comes to you.
Sure, she doesn't go around hitting and cussing people out for no reason (even though she can do that), but just staring Madison Montgomery intimidates a lot of people.
"How many times do I have to tell you that you're mine and nobody else's, (Y\N)?"
She'll find a stupid excuse to fight with you.
And then she'll drag herself out, pouting and apologizing, confessing how horrible she is as a person.
Or she will probably ask you for kisses to fix the situation.
There's make-up sex, but Madison isn't urgent and aggressive, not that part. She just wants to make love to you so you know no one else would top hers.
Misty Day
Tumblr media
Misty is oddly bipolar with her jealousy of you.
Some hours, she may seem too possessive and feel the urge to punch someone because she thinks she's too inadequate for you.
But in the others, she handles it generally well, and just gets a little grumpy.
Considering that years of seclusion in the swamp have prevented her from feeling anything serious about anyone, being jealous is a very unusual and weird thing for Misty.
She doesn't know how to handle it well at first, but she learns to control herself. And she doesn't want to hurt anyone, most of all, especially you.
So most of the time, Misty will just slowly walk over, hug you and let you rest on her chest as she kisses your head and turns to the other person with a sweet little smile.
"Excuse me, the conversation must be great, but they already have a girlfriend, I'm sorry."
On the way home, she would insist on being isolated in her corner for a few seconds, and it would take a considerable amount of time to admit that she is genuinely jealous of you.
But overall, having Misty jealous is just as adorable as having her around.
Nan
Tumblr media
Nan is not that over the top when it comes to being jealous of you.
I mean, except for the fact that she can control people's minds - and easily can control hers as well - she doesn't show overly jealousy, and maybe isn't even overly jealous.
She knows that you would never betray her like that, nor would you exchange her for anyone without a reason behind it.
But, of course, Nan has her moments of extreme caution.
She first assesses the person, reads their mind to be on the safe side, just to know how to approach them without scaring you off.
If it's someone who is clearly just someone close and significant to you, she'll let it go, take your hand and gently lead you away, apologizing later.
But if she catches some ulterior motive, oh, then that person is probably screwed for life.
"Oh, sorry, I read your mind, I feel something is wrong and I want to secure my territory. (Y\N) is mine and mine alone."
Nan doesn't like to fight with you, and when you have alone time, she just wants to make sure you're comfortable with her and that your relationship is going well.
The two of you cuddling after discussing the relationship and making a decision about Nan's adorable bouts of jealousy.
Queenie
Tumblr media
Get ready for the jealous queen.
Honestly, I feel sorry for the person who decided to test Queenie's patience, especially when it comes to you.
She hates to think about the possibility that you would replace her, but it's impossible not to when everyone else has already replaced her.
Queenie is not at all afraid to approach the person and you when they are jealous.
And she'll hug you and kiss you real quick just so the person on the other end understands that you already belong to someone else.
I don't even need to go into detail about her being a voodoo witch, do I?
Of course, Queenie's case isn't as severe as Marie's, but there would definitely be a thought about creating a doll of the person.
Although Queenie knows the limits of voodoo and knows that it would be cruel if you knew she was hurting someone out of jealousy, so she won't even bring it up and will promise to forget about it quickly.
LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of curses. Every one she knows.
"Listen here, pervert, they already have someone, okay? Get the fuck out!"
You wouldn't fight, even though she always ends the day with a hot head.
She just wants you to know that you're important to her, and that nothing and no one in the world could ever break the bond you have.
Myrtle Snow
Tumblr media
Myrtle knows how to deal with feelings, but she's not ready to be jealous of someone.
That's why she is confused about this, about her behavior when she notices that you seem quite happy in the company of someone other than her.
Since Myrtle doesn't control her impulses, she will probably approach you and make up an excuse for you to pull away from the other person, without using excuses or justifying yourself, just getting you out of the way.
No, she would never commit any atrocity with the person who was chatting with you. Myrtle Snow promised that she would change that part of her behavior for you and she will keep it until the end.
"I don't understand, (Y\N), I felt strange… seeing you with them…"
"That's jealousy, Myrtle dear", you'd say, laughing and finding that very cute.
Myrtle would certainly ask Cordelia for advice after the first scene of jealousy, for fear that she was feeling something really wrong, or even to cope better without running the risk of pushing you away.
Anyway, as long as she doesn't lose you, Myrtle doesn't mind feeling weird…
Mallory
Tumblr media
Mallory wouldn't handle jealousy, that's the answer.
She would feel too awkward to set boundaries with you, and anyway, she would feel awkward approaching someone out of the blue.
But even if she insists on not hurting you, that feeling that something is wrong would haunt her forever. And that's one thing Mallory would never admit.
Then she would be content to approach you very slowly, putting a hand on your shoulder or wrapping your hips around. And look the person on the other end of the conversation straight in the eye.
"Don't you think you've talked enough?"
She won't say it in a possessive way, but she will turn extremely red when she's done, pulling you back and taking you back to where she was before.
The conversation would be calm and sincere, and Mallory would express that she loves you very much and that she just couldn't bear to lose you.
But she knows you love each other too much - and she loves you enough - to just take care of you like no one else ever would.
Marie Laveau
Tumblr media
I just wanted to say that anyone who decides to make Marie Laveau jealous is pretty crazy.
She LITERALLY is the Voodoo Queen, what did you expect?
Years of experience to be sure how to handle such a situation.
Marie won't let it go and will immediately talk to the person who is showing ulterior motives towards you (and believe me, she knows very well when a person is or isn't…) "They already have someone, and that someone isn't you, so get the fuck out."
She wouldn't dare call you names or fight you out of jealousy (definitely Marie is someone who thinks it's cheesy to fight out of jealousy and make a scene)
A LOT of make-up sex.
She loves to tease and tease you during sex after a jealous scene like that.
Marie loves to get you flustered, she thinks it's cute and she's even more in love with you when she's done teasing.
No, no chance of having a person's voodoo spread in Marie's quarters.
Or, at least, not that you ever found out about it…
Kyle Spencer
Tumblr media
Kyle is usually not jealous.
But it's because he learned that the rare times he did show it, things got highly self-defeating.
He doesn't want to scare you, so now he just walks up to you, pulls you into his strong arms as he looks you up and down, then kisses you on the nose and pulls you out of the way.
He's secretly ashamed that he can't get the words out anymore, which is why he's always quiet when it comes to a scene like this.
Back in the day, before the accident and death, he was out of control and things almost always ended in a beating, and he doesn't want to be that way anymore, not after meeting you.
"(Y\N). Not. Comfortable."
He would whisper to you as he tried to explain to you what happened, and as he watched to see if you were okay.
When you were alone, he would cuddle with you and pet you, just to make sure you weren't mad that he pulled you out of a conversation where you seemed happy.

Radha Blank was very much on theme but y'all somehow don't talk about, maybe cause it's too cuturally different.
Hang on let me google I haven't seen her on any of the usual sites give me like five minutes and I'll be back on this post.
Radha Blank in Jennifer McFarlane
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ok I see why I didn’t see this before because Radha was like “I’m gonna make a statement” and I love that. There is so much to unpack here. We have the colors of the flag with red, white, and blue. I love that she went with a shawl collar on the jacket, it’s a great touch. The cigar calls back to slavery on tobacco plantations. It’s a small thing, but everything in this look is extensively thought about. Also, I could be wrong, but an up close photo of her sword on Twitter makes me think it might be an Akrafena (Ashanti sword)? I feel like I could spend a day dissecting this look, there’s so many great details. It’s an unapologetically Black look rooted in Black history and I love the energy she brought.
Edit: Shout out to @timetravelbypen for bringing Radha Blank’s instagram post to my attention! There’s some great up close pictures and tons of information into her thought process. (Found at: https://www.instagram.com/p/CdHPjz-J4dd/). The entire post is good, but I’ve copied and pasted a bit below. For a bit of context, Radha Blank and other directors were invited to stage rooms for the exhibit. I can’t seem to find an image of Blank’s room, if anyone has one please let me know!
This was chance to take #metgala invitation from a red carpet moment to a truth telling one. I would create a visual prologue to my #wegoodthx! installation. (More on the actual exhibit in the next post! I see you @hairbysusy @africancreature 😘) I would rep a woman who could have made Hollander’s dress- an Obeah Woman who by day used her hands to sew, cook, wash White folk clothes & tend to their chirren and by night used her hands to conjure spells for our survival using ancestral African spiritual practices not meant to survive the middle passage. This would be my homage to Marie Laveau but also The Condomble Woman, The Santeria Priestess, The Ifa Woman, The Yoruba Priestess. The Voodoo Vixen and all women practitioners of ancestral arts from Africa. - Radha Blank

So you want to learn about Louisiana Voodoo…
Tumblr media
door in New Orleans by Jean-Marcel St. Jacques
For better or worse (almost always downright wrong) Louisiana Voodoo and Hoodoo are likely to come up in any depiction of the state of Louisiana. I’ve created a list of works on contemporary and historical Voodoo/Hoodoo for anyone who’d like to learn more about what this tradition is and is not (hint: it developed separately from Haitian Vodou which is its own thing) or would like to depict it in a non-stereotypical way. I’ve listed them in chronological order. Please keep a few things in mind. Almost all sources presented unfortunately have their biases. As ethnographies Hurston’s work no longer represent best practices in Anthropology and has been suspected of embellishment and sensationalism on this topic. Additionally the portrayal is of the religion as it was nearly 100 years ago- all traditions change over time. Likewise Teish is extremely valuable for providing an inside view into the practice but certain views, as on Ancient Egypt, may be offensive now. I have chosen to include the non-academic works by Alvarado and Filan for the research on historical Voodoo they did with regards to the Federal Writer’s Project that is not readily accessible, HOWEVER, this is NOT a guide to teach you to practice this closed tradition, and again some of the opinions are suspect- DO NOT use sage, which is part of Native practice and destroys local environments. I do not support every view expressed but think even when wrong these sources present something to be learned about the way we treat culture
*Start with Osbey, the shortest of the works. To compare Louisiana Voodoo with other traditions see the chapter on Haitian Vodou in Creole Religions of the Caribbean by Olmos and Paravinsi-Gebert. Additionally many songs and chants were originally in Louisiana Creole (different from the Louisiana French dialect), which is now severely endangered. You can study the language in Ti Liv Kreyol by Guillery-Chatman et. Al.

Marie Laveau was one of the wisest women that ever lived. She was gifted with a power from on high that very few people are gifted with. She could look at you without ever having seen you before and tell you where you were born, what hour you were born and the time, and also the condition of the weather if you wanted to know that. She was, in a way, to me another Solomon, sent from the Almighty God above to come down here and help his people. I also picture her as a John De Baptist who comes to teach right and righteousness. This woman that I am telling you about prayed not three times a day as Daniel did but prayed every hour in the day that our Heavenly Father sent. I picture her as one chosen by God’s own hand. She was not selfish, but waited on the Black as well as the White, and the rich as well as the poor. Doing all the good stuff she could. And never doing any harm to anybody. ~Old Man George Nelson, 1936
Marie Laveau possesses an enduring magick as the preeminent witch queen, Voodoo Queen, and heavenly Saint in New Orleans. Her style of Voodoo encapsulates all the mystery, glamour, and power every witch, folk magic practitioner, and Vodouisant longs for. And let’s face it, witches love pretty things - shiny black mirrors and crystals and stones, beautiful tarot cards, and gold embossed velvet bags in which to keep them. We love the smell of incense, flowers, and perfumes as much as the aroma of a healing chicken soup on the kitchen stove. Living a tradition that is, in its very essence, natural, harmonious, and exquisitely beautiful, we see the allure in what others may deem profane. In The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire, I continue where The Magic of Marie Laveau left off. This book is a working grimoire geared towards the modern witch and conjure worker that provides spells, advice, formulas, and recipes for solving the problems of daily living and enhancing quality of life in the most magickal of ways.
Available direct from the author here: The Marie Laveau Voodoo Grimoire (creolemoon.com)

A plea for Angela Bassett to star in The Bear s3
Tumblr media
Angela Bassett can ACT! From playing Tina Turner in What’s love gotta do with it, Marie Laveau in American Horror Story, Athena Grant in 911 and lots more, Angela Bassett is constantly doing the thing. It will be an honor to watch her do the thing in The Bear.
I can see Angela playing Sydney’s aunt. I can see the aunt being very protective and not being too fond of the Berzattos. I can see the aunt not liking Carmy so Carmy being Carmy tries to win her over. The Drama!!!
Thank you @currymanganese for making this post which made me really want Angela on The bear.

the coven (+ marie and kyle) realizing they must be in love with you would include...
Officially back and so ready to write for our coven!
To celebrate that I'm reopening requests, I decided to give you some headcannons. They've been running through my head for a while and I thought I should post them ASAP!
Hope you like it!
Anyway, enjoy!
Orders are officially reopened, but please take it easy! I don't want to leave anyone without posts around here!
-------------------
The Coven and Their Allies Realizing They're Must Be In Love With You (Young!Reader, just for the record!)
Cordelia Goode, Fiona Goode, Zoe Benson, Madison Montgomery, Misty Day, Nan, Queenie, Myrtle Snow, Mallory, Marie Laveau and Kyle Spencer!
Cordelia Goode
Tumblr media
Ok, we know that Delia went through a lot before getting here and that her self-esteem is not the best…
Regardless if it's as Supreme or before that, Delia never felt enough for anyone to love her and definitely avoided falling in love.
Maybe after Hank, things got worse in that regard.
But there, in the middle of her path, there was you.
Cordelia tensed as she realized that she was liking you more than a friend.
She didn't want Fiona to know (if she was still alive), so she just kept it a secret.
Okay, maybe Myrtle would have been the first person to know that she was in love with someone again, but she was the exception.
And Cordelia had to process all that on her own for a long time before she got up the courage to talk to you.
It started with just an exchange of ideas, a casual conversation that happened out of the blue when she approached you somewhere you guys went together.
Cordelia even offered to buy you drinks from time to time, a way of signing that there was something more and a way to at least be helpful and content.
(Of course it wasn't out of the blue, Cordelia kind of calculated her steps (not in an obsessive way) so she could get to you without stuttering…)
Delia won you over little by little, and your conversations gave her the confidence to keep going ever since.
Until the day she thought she couldn't keep it all to herself anymore.
"I'll be honest, I don't think I've ever felt anything like this for anyone before, but the truth is, I'm in love with you, (Y\N)… And, you know, it's okay if you don't love me back."
Secretly, she wanted you to reciprocate.
And well, actually, you reciprocated because who wouldn't fall in love with Cordelia Goode, right?
Fiona Goode
Tumblr media
Let's start with the fact that you destabilize Fiona's entire pose the moment she first lays eyes on you.
And has been doing so ever since.
Falling in love has never been a problem for Fiona, she has done it countless times, and every time her loves have yielded incredible things for her.
But with you, it's different, and feeling it knocked her out at first.
Like, she's the queen of self-centeredness, and all of a sudden, she starts caring more about someone else than herself…
Nobody, nobody at all, would know that Fiona Goode is in love.
Oh yeah, and then there's the age thing, which she found a little humiliating at first, especially when she realized it wasn't a spur-of-the-moment thing.
Of course, she had to make the first move.
And it would happen at a time when you're alone, at the bar, probably ordering a drink (similar to Cordelia's).
The difference is that Fiona wouldn't waste any time.
So, you can expect anything, anything, from her.
Endless flirting to make you blush.
And she always cracks that smile when she succeeds.
She will probably strike up a conversation, trying to find out what your tastes are, and use that to her advantage in an attempt to win you over.
Apart from the irresistible charm, which she uses even involuntarily.
Not to mention that once she got more intimate with you, she would brag about being the Supreme and most powerful witch ever.
"Would you ever consider dating someone older, (Y\N), like, casually?"
Zoe Benson
Tumblr media
I believe Zoe (just like Luke) would be the most normal person to fall in love with, and handle it better than other girls.
Like, of course, she has the issue of her power and the like.
But I don't think she would consider that, especially after getting used to being a witch and having control of her powers.
Not that there wasn't that care and concern for her safety either, because the moment she realized everything, she wouldn't want to lose you.
I think she would also be like Cordelia and would need some more time to gain confidence in herself to confess her feelings for you.
Still, you can expect a few notes in the most unusual places you should find them, written by her.
Some were references to poems, others were song lyrics. Zoe would use that feature to be able to declare herself to you without having to use her words.
A few subtle flirtations when you met casually, whether it was on purpose or not.
Zoe is incredibly distracted when she is in love with someone.
And that would yield great content for Madison, who would be the first to find out about her coven mate's new love.
In a pre-Apocalypse era, Cordelia would have been your confidant.
And if it happened after that, Zoe would find a way to handle it all on her own too.
Either way, Zoe wants you to be sure that being with her is completely safe, despite the troubled life she leads.
"I think I'm in love with you, (Y\N). I'm serious."
Madison Montgomery
Tumblr media
(anon who asked me a while ago about madison falling in love and being a complete mess, this one's for you!)
I don't think I need to comment on how frustrated Madison would be to fall seriously in love.
She doesn't give in that easily to anyone, but with you it's strangely different.
You can expect a softer side of her to come out over the days.
Not that her bitch side didn't prevail, of course, but you get the point.
Madison has a huge difficulty with words, and she secretly doesn't want you to know that it's because she has self-esteem and emotional issues.
Usually, when she stutters to talk to you, Madison pretends it was just a random distraction, with something passing by that caught her attention.
And you know the truth, but you think it's cute when she doesn't admit it, so you just let it go.
When she decides to tease you for fear of showing too much weakness and showing her feelings, it gets hot…
Like, when her bitch persona takes over, you can expect the dirtiest flirting, with her claiming with all the certainty in the world that she's going to win you over, no matter what.
But the thing that always gives away how much Madison fell in love with you is her jealousy flare-ups.
If you're relatively close and hang out together, she'll get used to other people talking to you.
But if you start a friendship for now, you can expect that seeing another person too close to you would give her a nervous breakdown.
Another one of the cute things Madison in love would bring you.
Given time, she would open up to you, no dirty jokes, no malicious intent, just pure, genuine feelings.
"Fuck, (Y\N), I swear to God I'm going to regret this, but I need to tell you that I'm in love with you, and this time I mean it."
Misty Day
Tumblr media
There is no more lovable person while in love than Misty Day.
(Okay, my favoritism plays a big part, but honestly, I can't imagine anything else happening on Misty's part.)
It's very likely that this is her first time falling in love with someone, and it leaves her literally in a panic for days…
She's always done pretty well on her own, but after she got to know you, she realized that company might not be such a bad idea.
But she's a little scared to get close to you, scared that you'll somehow abandon her.
So things would start out slow, with Misty approaching you, making conversation and hoping to get to know you better after that.
You would expect her to get very carried away talking about the things she likes (aka Stevie Nicks, swamps and flowers).
And you can hope that would be the cutest thing to witness.
Speaking of flowers, she would take you to see the Miss Robichaux Academy greenhouse, in an attempt to get even closer.
And then she would make a point of introducing you to her favorite songs.
If it happens at a time when she's already tested the Seven Wonders, Misty would make a point of playing with a few of them to see if you're more easily impressed.
Misty is exceptionally clumsy when it comes to being in your presence.
Like, at the ultimate level, literally, she's a mess whenever she sees you, her nervousness, wondering if she's doing everything right.
And Cordelia would be responsible for calming her down when needed (and giving her advice on the best ways to get to you.)
"So, (Y\N), I think… I think I like you. Like, a lot. In fact, I think I'm in love with you, that's it."
Nan
Tumblr media
Nan is too confident about her feelings to talk to you.
So honestly when she realizes she's in love it's not a problem.
She's just a little in doubt if it's really what she wants, and if you won't be amazed at the things she can offer.
Nan realizes that falling in love is harder than she thought, so whenever she can, she enlists the help of the other girls.
Madison would certainly tell her to confess her feelings at once and don't give a shit.
But Zoe would certainly be keen to give the best advice.
As it turns out, Nan has her own ways of dealing with these kinds of feelings, and again, once she really does gain confidence, she'll come after you without any help.
Little gifts and a few words of affirmation are all it takes for Nan to demonstrate how in love she is with you.
She's occasionally showing off her gift of clairvoyance, just to impress you and make sure it's not a problem.
"Okay, this is incredibly unexpected, but I'm having a vision about us… and that means I love you beyond friendship, (Y\N)."
Queenie
Tumblr media
Queenie would probably be a person who would easily give in to feelings.
Not that being in love wasn't a shock to her, because it would freak her out that anyone actually cared about her for who she really is, even if she was a complete mess.
But once she was sure how she felt about you, she would go to great lengths to let you know.
She's completely honest, so whatever she has to say, she'll say it to your face, of course, as softly as possible, but directly.
Queenie is the type of person who, in front of others, would pretend to hate clichés.
But she would do them all for you, from little notes to sweets to a cliché date in the moonlight to flowers, anyway…
Now, if you wouldn't mind knowing, Queenie would die and kill for you (after all, that's what voodoo skills are for, right?).
She wouldn't think twice about confronting someone who was harming you, even if it meant hurting the person physically.
"I'm sorry, but I had to. I love you, (Y\N)."
And at the end of the day, she's just being honest and looking out for you.
Myrtle Snow
Tumblr media
Complete madness, that's what it would be like when Myrtle Snow fell in love with you.
She may appear calm in front of others, but would secretly freak out when she realizes she's into you.
Unlike Fiona, she probably wouldn't deal well with the idea of the age gap at first.
But Myrtle would get used to it and see how insignificant it is when she realizes that her company is good for her.
Like, it's the first time Myrtle has been able to feel truly happy, not being in Fiona's shadow or the Council itself.
And she would certainly go against several Council laws for you.
But there would be the weird part of it, the crazy things you would be exposed to, being with Myrtle.
Of course, at first her ideas were completely crazy, but you learned to like it and get used to it.
To help, now you make her think twice before trying to gouge someone's eye out or making an impulsive decision.
Countless trips to Balenciaga now and then, the only place Myrtle and you would feel safe being yourself.
"(Y\N), honey, I think I like you more than I should. I think I definitely love you, in a romantic and sexual way."
Mallory
Tumblr media
The biggest cliché of two teenagers falling in love could possibly happen between you.
Mallory is the most devoted and romantic person you could ever meet.
She's shy about admitting her feelings for you at first, but she'll learn the best way to say it without being too direct and scaring you off.
Coco basically being your cupid.
Mallory would hand you little presents from time to time, and when she noticed you had a bad day, she would do anything to cheer you up.
Very cute scenes of jealousy would happen even before she confessed her feelings.
Just like Misty, she would use her knowledge of the Seven Wonders and other powers to impress you.
And maybe, combined with her angelic beauty, it would work.
"I love you, (Y\N). More than a friend. More than I've loved anyone in my entire life."
Marie Laveau
Tumblr media
Marie is tough and keeps everything a big mystery.
But she wouldn't be initially surprised to be in love with you no matter what.
I mean, she doesn't have to worry about love lives anymore after she supposedly got the woman she once ruined with her romances.
Without Delphine, Marie would become someone much more open and secure about her feelings.
And she would let you figure it out for yourself what was going on, though, because she was still afraid to express herself out loud.
She would make a point of keeping you safe from her enemies.
And I think Marie would be the perfect companion to learn how to survive in an increasingly cruel and evil world.
After all, three centuries of existence had to indicate something, right?
"The thing is, I think you're hot, (Y\N), and what do we do now?"
Kyle Spencer
Tumblr media
Kyle is the smol bean we all deserve.
If it happened before the accident and before he was magically turned into a frankenstein, he would do anything to get at you in the best possible way.
But if it happened before, he would probably also be brave enough to take the first step and surprise you with the most infamous pick up lines.
If it happened later, Kyle would be afraid to scare you with brutality as an enemy.
But he would be surprised when he realized that the love he felt for you kept him from hurting you in any way.
Small gestures that would show how much he loves you, secretly, without having to use words.
Kyle would still remember a little bit of his life before the accident, so as time went on, he would become frustrated with not being able to talk to you about how he felt.
And I think he would make an effort to learn to speak again if it meant that it would bring you closer.
"I. Love. You. (Y\N)."

Why Was Alastor A Serial Killer?
I'm willing to bet that Hazbin Hotel is trying to avoid the true crime route of portraying serial killers with gritty 'realism'. Characters kill for theatrical reasons, not because the creative team is doing a deep dive into criminal minds.
I foresee Alastor's serial killer spree to be plot-spurred. Not because he's gonna be revealed to have antisocial personality disorder, or a psychopath, or something polarizing like that.
Realistically, any of the current Hazbin Hotel cast could have a personality disorder. Real-life serial killers aren't profiled (by USA FBI) to be more likely to have mental illnesses. After all, there are other serial killers than the ones you hear about most often. Serial killers are also the organized criminals, or abusive husbands, or political/religious extremists. They may or may not view their victims as fellow individual humans. They may or may not be influenced by bigotry.
Hazbin Hotel is a musical comedy first and foremost. It follows Loony Toons rules over Hannibal, or The Cell, or Silent Hill. It's possible that Alastor's serial killer past won't ever be a plot point. It's as relevant as any other character's reason for being in hell.
If his serial killer spree is ever addressed, I theorize it might be because:
They were magical sacrifices. Alastor's magical abilities take heavy hits from Hollywood 'voodoo'. One of the smear accusations against New Orleans' budding Vodou culture (especially against Marie Laveau of the Victorian era) were sacrificial rituals performed in areas like on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. If Alastor was dabbling in magic during his living years, he might have killed and cannibalized solely for sacrificial reasons. Possibly involving his supposed 'deal', as well.
They were 'vigilante' targets. The lyrics in the pilot include the lines And we'll chlorinate this cesspool / With some old redemption flair. He values good manners. He doesn't believe in taking advantage of the weaker. One background concern of the Hazbin Hotel (and Helluva Boss) universe is the sheer number of humans who end up in hell, all equal in their sin. Like the angelic exorcists that descend to cull the herd, it'd be appropriate for a character to have a hand in playing a similar role whilst mortal. Or, at least, that's how he saw himself.
It wasn't spur killing, all the victims were connected. We've never had a full plot centered on why a soul ended up in hell. Canonical reasons have been revealed in side material, such as Angel Dust's organized crime and drug use. As the seasons continue, there may come a day where a character's mortal sins become very relevant. Many a protagonist has found themselves racking up a body count all of a sudden, thanks to his hero's journey. Perhaps that resulted in Alastor's notoriety.
Alastor was a living demon, and he consumed humans. His serial killing is one thing, cannibalizing his victims is another. He's obsessed with consumption and partaking in flesh. The pilot ends with his hunger for his mother's recipe. His side comic has him eating eggs at a cafe, then visiting Cannibal Town, then visiting a butcher to buy more food. He canonically dislikes sweets and is a snobby foodie that dislikes processed food. There's only three proper food scenes in season 1, and he's two of them - the deer, and when he eats other sinners in his monstrous form. If he made some sort of devilish deal while alive, perhaps the cost was the need for flesh. Thus gave rise to a human with inhuman bloodlust.
His reasons won't ever be revealed. Or, they'll be unimportant. We don't particularly care what gang Angel Dust ran with as a mafia grunt, and perhaps we're also meant to take Alastor's serial killing at face value. At of this writing, we poke and prod at the guy 'cause he's this huge mystery, but maybe we'll grow to care solely for his contemporary actions, and not for his backstory.
We may get our answer one day, but for now, he remains an enigma.
