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

Greco-Roman curse doll

2nd century CE

#the word voodoo shouldn’t be thrown left and right like confetti by the way #let’s start calling things by their name #these are called kolossos (s.) kolossoi (p.) #equivalent of poppet. not necessarily used for harm #though in this specific case #and to use a definition in english #an object/s or material/s used to cast a curse #more specifically a love one - love curses are a thing #and curse doll should be just about right in English #there’s probably another dozen more accurate terms that still wouldn’t involve voodoo #this is called a testimone di fattura in Italian #translates to something like curse witness #ancient rome #greco roman #archeology #curse #hex #ancient curse #history #esoterica #esoterism #occult

So, uh.... anyone gonna talk about the fact that the tree of knowledge is A) the only tree in the garden of Eden depicted as being red (which is associated with evil in this intro story) and B) the only tree with very visible ROOTS?!?

Like, the roots of all evil? Literally??

No? Just me? Ah well.

#Hazbin Hotel #lucifer #eve #lillith #roo #roots of evil #quite literally on that last one #I mean seriously WTF kinda tree makes people who eats its fruit go evil #maybe that's why Alastor was so powerful straight outta the gate into Hell #Voodoo is often considered a very nature-based type of practice/magic #And oh look at that Alastor has voodoo #So WHOOPS maybe he figured something out about these literal roots of evil #why don't y'all think on that a bit #look Alastor's VA figured his favourite candy/fruit would be apples #and everyone made sure to talk over him and change the subject lol #IT JUST FITS OKAY #HH theory

So you want to learn about Louisiana Voodoo…

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.

You know... It is REALLY easy to do the whole "voodoo doll" trope or practice while avoiding any cultural appropriation, religious misrepresentation or racist cliche. Just... don't call it "voodoo".

Because if you are not aware, this practice of using a doll or figurine to bewitch or curse or put a spell onto a person, is actually older than the creation of vodou and its various branches. It can be found in medieval Europe. Several European countries have their own specific words and terms for this magical practice - a pratice attested since very early days. Heck it was even present in Greco-Roman Antiquity!

So... there is nothing forcing you to constantly say "voodoo doll" when talking about a spell-through-puppet. Except a bad habit that the United-States media imposed onto the rest of the world, I guess...

And, as the bitter old cynical soul that I am, I will definitively grumble something about how it is very telling that Americans did not choose to pick one of the several European terms and words for this magical practice and rather latched desperately onto a term related to a discriminized, fantasized and misrepresented Black religion... grumble grumble grumble.

But I will be fair to Americans and leave the possibility of the doubt. Because we all know the common American is a bit too lazy to do thorough research or be interested in anything outside of its own country, and so it is possible that all those people did sincerely believe that the idea of "magical bewitching figurines" was created on American land - because as we ALL know, everything was invented in America and for or by Americans, right? So of course it is bound to be the "voodoo doll" because it can't possibly have existed before the United-States were founded right?

Grumble grumble grumble.

#yeah i'm bitter about it #voodoo doll #it is especially obvious for me because I'm French right #and there's a lot of books about the history of witches in Europe right #magic #and they all carefully avoid any anachronism by not using the term voodoo doll #cause its overuse is REALLY something very American #witchcraft #spell #bewitching #european magic #language #european witchcraft #magical practices #my rant of the day

[dogmotifz]

so is voodoo just like, the objectively correct religion in the spn universe

#every time something related to voodoo comes up it's just right. like it's The solution

[titsthedamnseason]

there’s nothing else like this video. crazy and horrifying moment. also me witnessing the band being so silly goofy funny after spending soooo many times watching videos of them on my little laptop screen was so surreal. they could’ve said ANYTHING and it would’ve been a knee slapper for me

#good god how i love like hemmings. him and ashton are BOTH so naturally funny #and i think calum is funny in his own way too but just more unintentionally #also despite my aggressive yelling at michael voodoo doll WAS my top pick #but i’m so glad it didn’t land on heartbreak girl because i couldn’t have bared the pain of them like turning it and playing something else #so happy with how it all went down #mine #5sos

[shjiyemis]

Will say this real quick too, since I'm bringing up hoodoo and voodoo into my writing.

If you gain an interest as a non-black person it's fine to appreciate. But as a non-black person you SHOULD NOT be practicing hoodoo or voodoo, they are not for you.

#they are closed practices #though hoodoo is much more freeform #voodoo is not something that you can just decide to be apart of #me

Had a dream where I was VooDoo and BLI// killed Toxic right in front of my💔💔💔

my prediction for 2024-2026 mcr will end up playing arsenal fest and the entire emo population of the balkan peninsula will flood the city of kragujevac causing a massive earthquake in central serbia

#literally nothing can surprise me anymore. nothing. those people over at arsenal are doing some voodoo shit with summoning these bands #i think the year placebo came they had smashing pumpkins too. #last year they were supposed to bring the 1975 but then there were scheduling issues or something but like idc abt those guys. #but they are big so it serves my point #piksla.txt
