Sumatran Tiger Mask! My Best Yet By Far, If Slightly Wonky In The Muzzle.

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.

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.

sinner adam go brrrrrrrrrrr

2/2 [Part One]

Husk should know better than to argue with an idiot.

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

Headcanon that the real reason Carmilla was so preemptively over Alastor being back in town was because between Rosie (excited), Vox (it’s complicated), and the rest of the Overlords (massive gossips. See Zestial.), he’s been the topic of pretty much every conversation in their social circle for the past month.

Alastor: I’m sure you’ve all been wondering where I’ve been.

Carmilla: No. No, I haven’t. And if I have to hear one more word about it, I am going to lose my goddamn mind.

(the three different betting pools running simultaneously were what pushed her over the edge)

Sinner! Adam is the first person to not mistake Alastor for a deer, change my mind

Adam: the fuck are you losers doing?

Angel: me ’n Charlie wanna know if playing deer alarm calls will make Bambi freak out

Adam: you’re wasting your time

Charlie: it’s worth a shot, and this could help us get to know Alastor better!

Adam: like, do whatever, I don’t give a shit, but at least do something relevant to elk or shit won’t happen

Charlie: that’s what we’re doing?

Adam: he’s an elk, bitch, not a deer, so deer calls won’t work

Angel, scoffing: yeah, ’cuz you’d know more about Alastor in six days than us in six months

Adam: uh, I fuckin’ would know! I named the animals, course I know the differences between ’em. That red edgelord is an elk!

Alastor, appearing behind Adam: *sips Zestial-style out of his ‘oh deer’ mug like the pun negates Adam’s point*

Adam, visibly unimpressed: *plays an elk bugle*

Alastor, becoming rapidly less congruent with reality as he grows building sized: *destroys a wall and loses his entire shit in a show of power that would scare Lucifer*

Adam, who fears not even God himself: ha! I was fucking right! Dick-fucking-master! Hey, why are you two running away? Sore losers!

Adam, the very first idiot

Replaced the background of my favourite Alastor frame with an aroace flag and it looks hilarious I’m making it my pfp and calling it “aroace panik”

Original:

Never knew I needed Rosie and Katy Killjoy to be gossip buddies so bad lmao

👿🌈😇

Finally it's done T^T
