Alastor's starting point in season 2
We know that Alastor’s cane in broken right now, which means that he lost a lot of his power.
We also know, that Vees will have a big role in season 2 - „especially Vox” Viv said. According to her, we will learn „about Vox and Alastor’s backstory”. And we also know that Vox saw Alastor being wounded and defeated.
If the writers won’t make Vox use the opportunity and do something deliciously nasty to Alastor, I will riot.
But seriously; both pilot and the first season established Alastor as an overpowered demon who can do almost everything. We know it’s not exactly true, but still - he is (or was?) very powerful for a sinner.
The whole time he was presented as the one in control, a very competent person - he defeated Vox in the reputation battle, he was able to compete with Lucifer in a specific way, he easily destroyed the shark gangsters and Sir Pentious… But you can't do a semi-co-protagonist who only wins, because it's just boring. It's like Aristotle's definition of tragedy: after a good starting it only make sense to show a character of this kind starting to have more and more serious trouble. Season one was Alastor’s exposition, at the end of it the first turning point happened (loosing to Adam) and now it’s time for some interesting peripeteia. Vox on the other hand started as defeated - it only makes sense to give him an upper hand in this part of the story.
Or I’m just relying on the writing theory to convince myself I’ll see helpless Alastor interacting with Vox at some point haha wishful thinking is the best I tell you

My newest project is a scene inspired by the #666 live on air series from the amazing @prince-liest Go check out their stuff!
Jazzhands
SO I've never done lighting before. I live in perpetual darkness. I don't know what light looks like, can't you tell??!
I've had to actively hype myself up to draw Alastor and I kept putting it off. The intimidation factor with the strawberry pimp is pretty high....
Alt version below
"something violently teal-colored", you say? "fluorescent purple cap", you say? Say no more fam ❤ Of course it would be Nuka-cola-quantum. What else is there?!
They both have a bad day, I feel like. Vox is wearing the most scraggly looking shirt that was not yet chucked in the laundry and he doesn't even care that it's buttoned unevenly. Val is on a date without him, after all.
Alastor has one of those bad hair days. He kept going through his hair all day. Not sure about the ghostly sensation of Vox scritching his ears the day before.
Also: I don't know why Vox would have pcb patterns on his arms on the outside of his body but the idea seemed hella sick, so I had to draw it.
So headcannon time:
-Vox would be the type to have the most designer- and bare-looking kitchen in the history of Hell. Velvette designed it for him and he didn't mind.
-He's got a Potoro Marble countertop and he uses it to eat takeout straight out of the cardboard box and microwave meals straight out of the tin they came in.
-If the appliance isn't fisher price-coloured, it's not VoxTek and therefore has no place in his kitchen.
-The most used appliances are the coffee machine and the microwave.
-He has more barstools but the only one he uses is the one Alastor is currently sitting on. Vox only lingers in the kitchen to scroll on his phone while his meals are heating up or the coffee is brewing.
-He does own a knifeblock and several high-grade kitchen knives but they are still in their packaging in one of the drawers under the counter. He only uses his claws to perforate his microwave meals.
-He does own pots and pans....somewhere.. They are also VoxTek branded.
-Of course he would choose the most retro-50s-looking wallpaper possible. It drove Velvette up the wall but he insisted.
Things I've learned while doing this piece:
-How to use colour swatches
-Being sensible about layers and which layers will interfere with others
-Using light gradient boxes and swatches (omg so helpful)
-Actually using a colour pallette
-The perspective tool!
-Creating a colour filter by applying opacity. (yea, as if I actually knew what I was doing!)
Thanks for reading my brainrot and sharing in my continued effort to draw somewhat adequately looking stick figures and badly lit settings!

Temporary Control
Part 1
Prolouge
Alastor X Fem Reader
Warning! ⚠
⚠ using she/they for reader, cussing, fluff, soft Alastor, kisses. ⚠
Alastor was attending an Overlord meeting.
He sat in one of the chairs, making sure it was a comfortable one. The others trickled in slowly, talking with one another to catch up or trying to start a fight.
The smile on his face widens into a wicked grin when a fight did break out.
"You piece of shit edge lord-!"
"Who are you calling edge lord!?"
It soon breaks up when another yells at them into submission.
Like two children being scolded. He chuckles at the thought.
Then Vox enters.
Alastor's smile is strained as the T.V. Demon sits across from him.
Of course he would.
The other two V's took the seats on either side of their companion. Velvette on her phone and Valentino lighting his vulgar smelling cigarette.
"Oh goodie, everyone's here.", Lucifer says walking in.
The others still standing quickly go to get an empty chair.
"Its just the usual, regular check ups and keeping track of population on territory.", the King says as he walks over to his chair. "A good amount of demons died this year."
The Morningstar sat down and looked down the table.
"Who's first?"
The meeting wasn't anything special. It was like any other before, just keeping numbers on demons and reporting anything of importance.
Alastor just sat back and waited to give his report.
.
Vox was glaring at the Radio Demon, arms crossed and tapping his foot underneath the table.
What makes him so great? He thought with a huff. He's just a conceded, self absorbed, egotistical cannibal who's still stuck in the past and cares for no one but himself.
The red demon across the table ignores the glares, checking his claws instead.
He's not fit to keep them. The T.V. demon decides, beginning to think of ways to drive her away from Alastor and into his arms.
The meeting finishes quickly, nothing too interesting or new.
Vox continues to glare as the man in red stands from his chair and leaves the room, screen starting to glitch out and crash.
"You're gonna have to start up again if you stare too long.", Velvette comments after glancing over.
"Shut up.", he grumbles.
"Oh what hate can do to a demon.", Valentino says, blowing out smoke. "If I wasn't any wiser, I'd think you're in love."
"SHUT UP!"
"Oho~ He is! But not with the red man!", the social media demon says, placing herself on the table and shoves her phone toward the moth, showing him who. "Its this pretty little hourglass!"
"Damn it Velvette! I said shut up!", Vox stands up and tries to take her phone.
"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE BITCH!", she growls, quickly rolling off the table and away from the T.V. Demon.
The two fight over the phone and the moth demon just lets out a sigh, taking another drag from his cigarette.
After shoving Velvette's annoying face away, Vox leaves the two and walks out of the meeting room, hissing out curses while stomping out of the building.
His screen starts glitching again when catching sight of the damn deer demon again.
Fucking piece of crap!
.
You were helping Alastor with looking for spell books in the library.
He had just come back from an Overlord meeting and you noticed he looked a little tired, so you suggested to read together. With a smile, the demon in red accepted the invitation and walked into the library with you.
Now both of you were looking for books for each other.
"I don't think Charlie would have any books of witchcraft or voodoo in here. It is the library for guests.", you say, still looking anyway.
"I suppose you're right.", the radio demon says from the other side of the library. "But maybe you'll find something even more interesting while looking."
You're surprised when he appears out of the shadows with a small stack of books in his hands.
"I found your books darling.", he says and passes them over to you.
"I didn't find yours yet.", you pout.
Alastor quickly but gently held your head and tilted it up, using his thumbs to turn up the corners of your lips.
"Forgive me my little hour glass but you're pouting.", he says and places a kiss on your forehead. "Read me one of your books instead?"
You oblige and turn to head over to the seats nearby. The deer demon holds your hand as you read one of Edgar Allen Poe's poems out loud. Later, he walks you back to your hotel room and both of you make plans for a date.
Finally arriving at your door, both of you turn to face each other.
"Good night.", you say softly.
"Sweet dreams my darling.", he replied with a smile and gave you a kiss on the cheek.
You wave at him before entering your room and closing the door. Now in your room, you take off your shoes and get things ready for bed, turning on the radio on your vanity.
It's just the thought of you
The very thought of you
My love~
The radio plays a favorite of yours as you get into bed, letting the song lull you to sleep.
Sorry this is so late! I've finally written down the notes for this and I'm going to post the next part soon-ish? Soon.
~Seline, the person.
