im bored, so im gonna rant about alastor's breakdown scene
deal with it
(i also may have lost the post with most of my info but whatever shut up/j)
WARNING: MAJOR spoilers for for hazbin hotel
if you havent watched it all the way through, id reccomend that-
also speak of sensitive topics such as father issues, mental breakdowns,
i feel like i should say this, i am NOT a psychiatrist, in ANY way shape or form, and im just speaking from prior knowledge and experience, aand also my friend who has studied psychology and all that jazz immensely (say hi to ros! :)
i also make an excess of unnecessary and dumb jokes so if you cant handle that bye i guess (/j)
(will also include random images here and there of him, bcz why not)
okay, so i dont think its that much of a secret that alastor is NOT okay, mentally (and physically, i mean, look at that gash thats not healthy smh)
it could NOT have been made ANY clearer that theres something wrong going on in this mans head, and its... uhm whats the word help ive backed myself in to a corner here
theres more than one s o m e t h i n g thats wrong, i guess, and im here to give my opinion and theory on the matter so uhhhhhh
make sure to SMASH THAT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE BUTTON FOR MORE AMAZING CONTENT1!1!1!!/j
okay very dumb and idiotic jokes aside smh, im gonna explore and explain each one of the reasons i think this guy is not okay, starting with
d r u m r o l l
father issues! yayyyyy amazinggggg totally not horrible haha whaatt.. anyways, there are numerous hints that alastor had, at the very least, a very problematic father, and, hey, ever notice how he's more comfortable around women?? and that he was a confirmed 'mamma's boy'? yeah, based on those two things (i only provided two reasons because, haha, i may or may not have lost the post i was using for info) i think we can concur that he had atleast SOME sort of father issues, and not the "oh yeah he's just an annoying goofy fella" kind of father issues
of course, we ALSO have the deal he made, which was brought up briefly in episode 5, and 8
and there i s kind of a funky little debate on who the deal was with, and what it was for, but the two main cantidates are lilith, and roo
and who knows what lilith/roo makes him do, even? ...okay, aside from lilith/roo, who would be the ones making him do things-
i dont know, theres not alot i can say on this matter other than its most likely alastor made a deal with either lilith or roo to save his power or something, and briefly bring up the fact that he probably does have to do some things here and there, and the fact that if it i s lilith he made the deal with, she probably sent him to help out with the hotel, maybe, i dont know
WHEWWWW OKAY THEN lets get in to some of his behaviours that are n o t at ALL good or normal, the way he treats husk and reacts to him 'caring' about his 'friends' wooo yayyyyy
also heres another alastor image so you little grubs(/j) dont get bored at the lack of things to look at woo
lets start with how he treats husk, thats just, thats not nice man dont do that :(
jokes aside though, there HAS to be some reason that he treats him like this, theres no way that its just because he owns his soul- like, unless husk did something reaallyyy bad theres no reason to treat him like that (granted, alastor IS in hell for a reason, and is NOT a normal or good person)
anyway thats it for this section because i really dont have anything and im relying on the wiki and memory alone to get me through this post shush :(
okay lets talk about his reaction to him nearly dying for his 'friends' and actually caring about them
its clear that this man has some sort of issues with caring about people, and there has GOT to be more than one reason why other than "oh no people are gonna think im a softie thats no good :( *has a breakdown musically*" i mean, it COULD be just that one, but i just really dont think it is honestly, i dont really have that diffinitive of a reason, i just really think that something happened that made him n o t want to get attached to people,
and i REALLLYYYY want to know what that reason is in season two
alright, for the last bit of this post, i think we should discuss the fact that he always smiles
we DO know that one of the reasons is that, to him atleast, a smile is a valuable tool, that keeps your friends inspired, and your enemys guessing, and always ensures YOU'RE the one in control
but its HEAVILY implied in this image that there is another reason,
if you observe close enough (not really that close, but hey who has perfect eyesight not me) you can see it looks like his mouth is stitched, and even more so to be literally always smiling so theres a possibility that either lilith or roo is ALSO forcing him to smile
then again it could just be something about him literally not being able to talk about his deal, which is also plausible
...or thats just what he looks like idk im not here to judge his fashion choices
CONGRATULATIONS!! you made it to the end of my stupid post! keep in mind that any and all of this could change at any given point, and i will update it accordingly....if i remember to
i am not using this in any way to condone his actions AT ALL, you shouldent be a cannibal, or a serial killer, or be manipulative (is that the right word???), thats unswag smh, and i am NOT AT ALL a psychologist, or a psychiatrist, once again, i only really know some of these things because my friend rambles about them, and i used to get in to crime and psychology documentaries when i was bored
so i am not at ALL a professional
thanks for reading this shit show of a post
