Oh, Husk and Alastor?
Their dynamic is also pretty interesting, they kinda feel like two people who everyone thinks gets along great and are the best of friends. While in reality their friendship is fueled but a fire born from their hatred. They just have many decent moments and have a easy time understanding each other, through they often use that information to serve a selfish endeavor.
Like Alastor would mess with Husk, tease him and Husk would tell Al to get his act together so that he(Husk) doesn't have to deal with some sort of fallout (ref. when Mimzy comes by)
In general, I feel like they do get along really well, but they are in no way friends. Kinda like how you can get along well with your boss, but wouldn't really consider them a friend. And you wouldn't really want them to involve themselves in your life, but that doesn't stop Alastor. (Social conversions? What's that)
This also makes me curious, wonder what kind of dynamic Husk has with Rosie, or rather, how do you think Rosie sees Husk? Just like a pet Alastor has? Or does she actually see the person that is there? (Leaning more towards her not really seeing Husk more than a errand boy or pet of Alastor)
Though it would be fun if the first time Husk meet Rosie he thought that she might actually be willing to help him because she gives of the energy of being a very kind person around people she cares about (aka Alastor). So he tries to talk to her without Alastor present and he finally understands how they get along so well, they are both the same kind of crazy ᵔᵜᵔ
So, um- what are your thoughts on the dynamic between Alastor and Husk?
HEEEHEHHE YOU GOT ME A REASON TO TALK ABOUT MY FRESH HEADCANON ABOUT THEIR RELATIONSHIPS
OKAY SO!!
I saw a theory that Husk had children when he was alive. Keep that in mind, it's a secret tool we wanna use later
So, little bit about Alastor. He is not the guy who owns many souls. In fact, he doesn't own any (well... i have some headcanons, but it's for another time). The only soul he has is Niffty, and she's... she's whole another level.
So one day Alastor get's Husk's soul in posession and he has no idea what to do with him. Their contract is basically "you'll have to do anything i order you" but it doesn't set any boundaries for Husk. So he can insult Alastor, argue with him and so on. The only thing he cant is to try to kill Alastor, but it's obvious.
So, Alastor's just... drags him around, and Husk has to just be there all the time, and watch Alastor do stupid shit without thinking, being manipulated by Mimzy into some shenanigans and so on, because he's too powerful, kinda don't afraid of anything and little bit unhinged. And Husk is trying to be that voice of sanity for Alastor (and maybe Niffty). Like in canon, he tries to warn Alastor about Mimzy nd at some point seems genuinely worried about him. Just a bit. And also, in that scene in final song, when Alastor appears again, Husk doesn't seem happy but still goes for group hug.
I think he sees Alastor as a child he has to babysit, but the child is so spoiled, that he doesn't give a shit about his warnings. Maybe Al reminds him of his own children at some degree. And so Husk is attached to Alastor in some weird unhealthy way, he cares about him and tries to protect, even if it pointless.
The worst part of it is that Alastor doesn't see him more than funny fluffy cat-guy-pet. He almost never takes him seriously and doesn't listen to what he says. So Husk may try to reach out to Rosie, to make her to reason with Alastor. But she's basiclly "i could fix him, but whatever is wrong with him is way funnier". I think she listens to Husk's worries about another Alastor's scheme, but she also trusts Alastor? I mean, she belives that he'll be fine. But if something seems to dangerous, she can agree and talk to Alastor.
After all, Husk was an overlord, and i think Rosie could know him before he made a deal with Alastor. So, i think she doesn't think of Husk as just Al's pet, she knows who he is. After all, not every sinner can become an overlord. But still,
So, last thing. I saw that one comic where after episode 5 Alastor admits that Husk was right about Mimzy and i really love this thought. I think Alastor also likes Husk's presence at some degree. Maybe they could build something healtier, maybe Alastor, after losing part of his powers, would listen to Husk more. But still it's all fucked up while Alastor owns his soul.
And also, i'd really love to see something of just Alastor, Husk and Niffty getting into some shenanigans together, this would be so much fun. Al and Niff who are just 2 unhinged gremlins and Husk who's done with their shit, but still cares about them and can't just leave, and it's not because of the deal. Like i imagine when husk is trying to reason with Alastor that he's about do something stupid and dangerous and Alastor's like well i don't force you to follow us this time, but Husk still goes with them because who else would watch after these two idiots?
So i think, i get your point about them!

I’ve been catching up on Sherlock & Co. and I have to say that I really do love it. I love following along to mysteries and hearing John try to be the normal one when really he’s as socially awkward as Sherlock just in a different way. It’s like he’s trying to be too normal while Sherlock doesn’t try at all. It’s great and you can hear them actually like and care about each other. Sherlock isn’t someone who doesn’t care like some other versions have him be.
He cares about so many things! I can’t even list them all because he cares so much! He also likes things! He is not completely ruled by logic. He likes plants so much his college friend thought he’d get into botany. He likes animals, from rats to cats to dogs! John brings his dog home and now it’s THEIR dog! He likes Christmas!
And John is just so funny and actually brave. He’s not a soldier first, he’s a doctor first. He hesitates so much when he’s given a gun but shoved his way through a crowd to save a man he really doesn’t like at all. He broke the law to help people in a different country.
And god I love the cases. They’re just so much fun to listen to. Some of them are so far fetched, but keep a core of realism that I really appreciate. And god, what a way around the original stories. I was so excited to get to the Red Headed League because it was one of my favorite of the short stories, (a fun non-violent story that is just so weird) and it really didn’t disappoint! I love that they skipped over a Study In Scarlet altogether.
And god, I just really appreciated the Solitary Cyclist. That was like reading a Reddit story. And the ending was so exciting, like wow!
And the relationships are so great. I love Marianna so much, and I love how she really is the backbone of their business. They all have their roles and they all do it pretty well. (Although John needs a better microphone, or at least a separate one for traveling). Just it’s so nice to hear these three people really get along. And romance wise? I honestly don’t know if John will end up with Marianna or Sherlock. It’s like there’s enough to make a case for both or neither. Or it could go nowhere, no romance whatsoever and I would be so perfectly happy about it because there’s actual substance to it.
Anyway, it’s a great podcast. It’s funny and smart and really just such a good journey to be on. I’m genuinely considering joining the patreon because I hate ads so much, but god that theme song is so good it makes me completely forget about the ads until they pop up again.
10/10 highly recommend. Especially if you’re someone who felt betrayed by BBC Sherlock or even someone who was more into Elementary.
