Steven Universe discourse still cracks me up like
Y'all got a show made by people who clearly love doing their job with explicit LGBT+ rep including non-binary rep and a majority female cast with a variety of body types and with multiple women POC voice actors regarding topics like mindfulness meditation, forgiveness, trauma, PTSD, establishing boundaries within relationships, compassion, with an overall message of forgiveness
And yet y'all seemed to wish for the series' demise at every moment and complained about the most insignificant details like that the storyboard artists had slightly inconsistent art styles
The messages and characters are so complex and compelling and the show gets you to think about difficult concepts and topics which flew over people's heads completely
People still think Steven should've idk wiped out the Diamonds? In the show where the whole message is that people are complicated representations of their experiences and trauma and people deserve second chances?
Idk I feel like a lot of "fans" who start discourse don't actually like the show, otherwise they'd actually absorb the basic premise of it

Ok work so possessed Samuel Campbell is leading the Scoobies to cases that are ultimately errands on a grocery store list for Empress Akreda, for a spell I'm guessing will open a portal for the rest of her kind to emerge through?

would LOOOOVE to know more about verdant and the hypothetical villain for sc5p2 idea im looking so intently
I will GLADLY talk about them 👀
basically my idea is that they're a Space Pirate that worked for Jaguar for a few years before the Purge incident, and when Purge had Shadow + the Rhythm Rogues take the Rogueship-A-Go-Go, Verdant was captured and forced to dance. They fucking hated this. So after Ulala saves everyone and its relatively well-known that Jaguar was Shadow, he feels extra betrayed by this and vows revenge (not really knowing Jaguar was brainwashed)
They form a dance crew in secret and copies the tech Purge used for Shadow's disguise, and they all start causing crimes in his name to frame Jaguar for them. It gets to the point Jaguar himself isn't sure if it's him or not, until he willingly turns himself in to the Sexy Space Polite (non-fans: this is literally the name. Im sorry) and Shadow is still committing crimes because Verdant doesnt know this
itd end with Ulala and Jaguar teaming up again and confronting Verdant, who reveals their motives and attacks them with their dance crew. So basically it ends with a giant ass dance battle. I haven't 100% worked out of the ending yet but

thinking about the mysterious benedict society again and I think it was really funny that for years before the show was ever announced I’d have bad dreams (not like Nightmares. lol. but like. cursed etc.) about it getting a badly done adaption and I thought I was prepared for whatever was going to be done to it and ready to at least be able to coax new fans into reading the books
and then Disney bought it instantly being worse than anything I could have come up with /j
#media cw#it's not like.................................bad i guess#but like#from what I've heard about it (I have not watched it because i would shrivel and die/e#sorry this is my biggest 'tism media) it's been stripped of most of it's thematical substance#and thought the actors are all pretty cool and talented and it more or less followed the plot it Completely Failed to be the Whole Ass#Anticapitalist Lite Dystopia it was supposed to be#but like tbh i knew that was going to happen as soon as disney bought it#because they can't make anticapitalist media they can't even come close#the book is literally about someone utilizing capitalism and systematic ableism to brainwash the masses via subliminal messaging hidden in#the media (not in the media itself but in anything that has a signal it can ride piggyback on which ends up being most media that's online#or being broadcasted etc) so it's like. lmao disney your literally doing that#your literally far more evil than the villain of this story how are you going to produce this media and stay true to its themes (they cannot#and did not) so it's just like. bruh moment#also as a side note the vibe of what little i saw was all wrong they didn't capture the very ordinary vibe of most of the settings#like they just wanted it to be series of events 2.0 cause that's trending#but those aesthetics don't really WORK for this because the whole POINT is that the setting is (mostly) very unassuming#because the whole suggestion of the book over all (not clear on if it was intentional or not i am a crazy person tbf) is that the dystopia#these characters are in is the same one in which we are living#everything felt so real to me as a kid that well into my teenage years i didn't even question#the obviously fictional aspects like i just had it in my brain that there was a plant that when consumed/inhaled smoke of could#put you in a coma or that there were whole tanks with silencers on them like a gun and when i googled these things and they were fictional#I felt so silly but like the rest was so regular that I never even questioned this stuff and that's a huge part of the books charm#and instead they made the familiar feel foreign and though the plot and characters were mostly the same everything was uncanny valley#and it didn't seem to even try to capture what Really Made This book an Experience#growling and barking etc etc

In November, Israel’s public broadcaster, Kan, uploaded on its official X page a video of Israeli children singing a song celebrating their country’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. The broadcaster deleted the video clip after a huge online backlash. Even after the video was silently erased from social media, however, the song remained a subject of discussion and controversy. Many across the world were shocked to see children sing happily about “eliminating” an entire people “within one year”. Yet a closer look at Israeli literature and curricula shows this open celebration of genocide was the only natural outcome of Israel’s persistent indoctrination – or brainwashing to be more blunt – of its children to ensure that they do not view Palestinians as human and fully embrace apartheid and occupation. There is myriad evidence of Israel’s brainwashing of its citizens to erase the humanity of Palestinians spanning many decades. Israeli scholar Adir Cohen, for example, analysed for his book titled “An Ugly Face in the Mirror – National Stereotypes in Hebrew Children’s Literature” some 1700 Hebrew-language children’s books published in Israel between 1967 and 1985, and found that a whopping 520 of them contained humiliating, negative descriptions of the Palestinians. He revealed that 66 percent of these 520 books refer to Arabs as violent; 52 percent as evil; 37 percent as liars; 31 percent as greedy; 28 percent as two-faced and 27 percent as traitors.

yandere!Alastor with Violet Evergarden!reader scenario
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warning: aged-up!reader [in early to late twenties], obsessive behavior, implied violence, implied emotional and physical abuse, implied brainwashing, knowledge based on spoilers from the first two episodes of the 2024 series.
There may be possible triggers in this story.
If you do not feel comfortable venturing any further, please hit the 'back' button on your device or computer and read something much more pleasant than a possible series of unfortunate events.
You are responsible for your own Internet consumption!
Hey guys, welcome back to another Hazbin Hotel fic, starring Hell's one and only Radio Demon, Alastor! This is a collaborative piece written with @isuckatwritingsobenice, whom I share a mutual adoration for Violet Evergarden, the anime and titular character who is in my humble opinion, one of the best written female protagonists I have seen in anime.
As always, bullying is not tolerated here. If you have nothing nice to say, please do not say it. Furthermore, if you believe the warnings listed above will make you uncomfortable, please leave now.
For those who have decided to stay, sit back, relax, and let's see what's going for tonight's broadcast :)
Alastor is someone who thrives on entertainment and chaos. Seeing the scourge of Hell striving to redeem themselves in Charlie’s hotel, only to fail as soon as they gave into the vices they’ve been trying to cure themselves of? That’s the only reason he agreed to help the princess with her passion project. He needed some inspiration after lacking it for so many decades! 
When you had arrived at the hotel with nothing except the clothes on your back and a suitcase that protected your precious Remington typewriter, the Radio Demon would not deny that he was amused to see a sinner who actually saw his advertisement on the television. After all, no one was taking Charlie seriously, and who would? Apparently you did, but for a different reason: you were looking for a job, a purpose. You said so in the interview, and you were willing to learn. When Vagatha asked what would be considered a flaw in your work ethic, you took off your leather gloves and showed her and Charlie  the alloy prosthetics that acted as your new limbs after losing them in the war.
Why you still had them and why your appearance was wholly human, you did not know. Would this be considered a flaw? You were not sure either. You are still learning about modern technology, especially the handheld devices called cell phones. 
Although the staff was in dire need of someone who could advertise the Hazbin Hotel on the Internet, the princess found something you could do and might be adequate at: gardening. More specifically, being the hotel’s groundskeeper. Someone who can maintain the hotel’s outward appearance and make sure the hell-grass or weeds don’t  get too out of control. You stood up from your seat, feet planted together and saluted Charlie, promising that you will do your best in a monotone voice.
The poor dear did get a little flustered from your actions, but Vagatha did not seem to mind, asking you to follow her upstairs so that she could show you your new room and give you the key. Your first day will be tomorrow. 
Oh, this will be fun~! Alastor thought with a wide grin. Someone new to antagonize and watch fall into the fiery pits of failure! Husk was starting to bore him anyway. 
And he was not disappointed. 
He saw you struggle with holding a garden spade, laying down carpets of fresh grass neatly without trying to crush it between your prosthetic limbs, carrying fertilizer and what flowers to plant! These entertaining events happened within the first week of being here. Is he sorry that his shadows purposely swapped the fertilizer bags and replaced the seed bags to plant roses with rat bait? Absolutely not! 
The more chaos that he created, the more entertained he will be. The anticipation to see you crumble from the pressure and expectations of dear Vagatha and Charlie is almost palpable, he couldn’t wait! 
However, you were not someone who gave up as easily as he hoped you would. 
You kept showing up every day at the exact time, and worked in the garden until Niffty had to drag you inside to have lunch. Then you stayed outside for a bit longer, making sure everything was ready for the following day. You even tried to help out in the kitchen, though you were still struggling to properly hold a knife and chop up vegetables for his jambalaya or cracking eggs in a bowl to help Niffty bake a cake at nine o’clock in the evening because she was bored and wanted something sweet. 
You carried heavy crates of liquor for Husk and even massaged his temples when he complained of a headache. When you discreetly switched out the liquor in his booze for water one time he held a grudge against you for pulling that stunt for almost a week. He eventually forgave you by preparing a Shirley Temple on the house after you politely rejected a whiskey on the rocks because you did not drink alcohol. 
Sir Pentious, the wannabe overlord, was utterly fascinated with your prosthetic limbs and had asked you to let him examine them. That comment earned him a low, menacing growl from Vagatha, spear in hand. The Egg Bois seemed to like you well enough that they tried to help you out in the garden when all they really did was make your job a bit harder. You still thanked them anyway. 
Angel Dust tried to take you shopping for a new wardrobe since you always wore the same outfit every day, but his definition of fashion bordered on risque and flaunting his assets. You were not here to flaunt your appearance, you were here to work, but you thanked him anyway. When he came back to the hotel, staggering inside on wobbly legs and his face covered in black-blue bruises, you were the one who caught him and helped him settle on a table as Husk pulled out a first aid kit. You allowed Angel to put all four of his arms around you and cry on your shoulders, carefully placing your skeletal prosthetics around his back. 
How is it that a single sinner could empathize with everyone here except him? 
This singular thought, this curious idea, is what motivated Alastor to find out more about you. And there is no else in Hell who can spill the tea on someone as accurately as his dear friend Rosie. 
A trip to Cannibal Colony was in order~!  So he did go there, proclaiming he’ll be back before dinner and ignoring Vagatha’s cursing as well as the princess trying to calm down her short-tempered lover. 
As it turned out, he had heard about you, it’s just that the topic in question did not interest him at the time. Rosie conjured up some old newspaper clippings, pointing at the image of you fighting against an exorcist in hand-to-hand combat during the Extermination. This article had been written five years ago, and the one before that? Three years ago. It seemed like you were simply at the wrong place at the wrong time, and you fought back because that is what your life had been before; surrounded by violence, vanquishing enemy forces when they crossed your path. Yet when you did make an appearance, everyone in Hell clamored for any scraps of information. Anything to find out who is the mysterious sinner who looked like a human and could rip off an exorcist’s head bare-handed. 
Now, you were staying at the hotel trying to put whatever remained of your afterlife together. That is your true purpose and now the Radio Demon knew. 
Alastor thanked Rosie for the information and the company, leaving Cannibal Colony in a merry mood. Everything was in place. Everything made perfect sense now.
If you were looking for a way to be useful in his newest project, he can make that happen. All he needs to do is nudge you in the right direction without Charlie and Vagatha around.
They are adorable when they are taking turns being a guard dog around you, you sweet little darling~.

Notice to Stop and Get Some Help
Notice to Cease and Desist
Mr. Vox of VokTek,
Please accept this correspondence as a formal notice to cease and desist all activity related to the Radio Demon.
While the nefarious actions you undertake as a CEO and member of a crime group, which includes but is not limited to mass brainwashing, invasion of privacy, conspiracy, and aiding in abuse, this is Hell so all of that is deemed acceptable by the non-existent law on place.
However, the amount of complaints received involving your continued correspondence, obsession, and harassment of the Radio Demon has made it so we’ve had to adopt a legal system for the sake of this law (so fuck you for making me do all this work.)
Four weeks prior, a Change.org petition with over 18 million signatures arrived on the desk of King Lucifer Morningstar. This, combined with the amount of complaints received involving your continued correspondence, obsession, and harassment of the Radio Demon has made it so we’ve had to adopt a legal system for the sake of this law.
For further specification, because this is Hell and sometimes we need to write this out, here is what you need to know:
1. No fights with the Radio Demon in public spaces or over transmission. (Seriously, this is annoying.)
2. No stealing his hair to make wigs.
3. No forcing your partner to wear aforementioned wigs.
4. No creating or requesting the creation of body pillows with a likeliness to the Radio Demon.
5. No highjacking a broadcast to slander the Radio Demon.
6. Just… no breaking out into song about the Radio Demon. Seriously dude what the fuck.
7. No putting cameras into vicinities of which he resides.
8. No getting other people to do that.
9. No taking over of “the Vees” meetings to complain about the Radio Demon for hours. That time is apparently for bitching about other entities, including an “Angel Dust” (which is a whole separate legal issue that will be further dealt with by Asmodeus, Sin of Lust, as well as Lucifer Morningstar, King of Hell.)
10. No requesting your associates to make porn that has likeliness to the Radio Demon.
11. No following the Radio Demon around in public.
12. No grand declarations of love to the Radio Demon (he’s aroace and it makes him uncomfortable.)
13. No calling your partner “Alastor” or “Al” in bed, regardless of how close their nickname may sound to it.
14. No screaming about how the Radio Demon getting injured is “better than sex” (it makes some demons feel inadequate.)
15. No crying about the Radio Demon having “new rivals.”
16. No placing a hit out on a random, bitchy, cannibalistic old lady named Susan. She bites.
17. No jacking off to videos of the Radio Demon being injured.
We, the people of Real Legal Company (a subsection of the Immediate Murder Professionals), are aware that this particular format may not follow the structure of previous legal notices and codes. And to this we say fuck you. It doesn’t fucking matter. This is Hell. We didn’t have any clients to kill and only know legal stuff from movies. And Stolas was too busy to read this over.
Any and all issues with this document are of the result of Moxxie Knolastname and should be taken up with him. NO DON’T WRITE THAT
Anyways, fuck you and maybe get help?
Document dictated by the people of I.M.P
Written by Fizzarolli (cause Blitzø can’t write for shit.)
Forwarded by Asmodeus, Sin of Lust
Approved by Lucifer with the addition that such restrictions do not apply to the King of Hell (which we doubted it would because he’s literally the king??? But anyways if you see Ol’ Lucy harassing the Radio Demon he wants to remind you it’s because he’s king and allowed to.)
Signed by the people.

Those dastardly, Decepticon cassettes have a plan to put on a mesmerizing, musical, brainwashing broadcast to control the whole city! And I've gotta stop 'em! Uh...where'd the second one go?

In this AU, Alastor embraces modern technology to stay ahead of the game while Vox stays "vintage". They form a partnership to the point they are somewhat dependent on each other. They're still strong on their own but still, a terrifying duo when fighting together.
More about this AU:
Alastor's powers still use any form of radio frequency/wifi control, giving him access to any devices (both old & new). Using this ability to gain more info and sell it to any demon who fails to return a favor for him or Vox. Alastor still does his broadcasts of cannibal massacres, news/gossip, ASMR segments, music, and of course Vox's favorite cereal brand. Of course, there are drawbacks to being the radio demon and having deer features. Alastor would often get overstimulated by too much noise or information he was gathering. When that happens, Vox takes care of Al by giving him noise-canceling headphones and even mutes himself as they watch silent films together.
Meanwhile, Vox controls visual media/television, but depending on which television device he uses it tends to give him different abilities? Vox prefers the retro tv head because his power has some cartoon logic to it. Other sinners tend to underestimate his abilities, thinking he is the weakest of the duo. But in reality, Vox can transform into an electronic/ink-like monster that brainwashes people using tentacles like wires to connect their brains physically. He can upgrade his appearance but Vox likes taking advantage of any new sinners to trick them into signing a deal with him or Al since he looks "harmless.”
Their relationship can be seen like Jessica Rabbits & Mr. Rogers, in which Vox's appearance and mannerisms remind Alastor of simpler times. Despite the Radio Demon’s modern image, he still prefers old school, especially from the 1930s. If anyone insults Vox or tries to convince Alastor to ditch him, those demons end up in Alastor’s podcast describing in full detail what he is doing to them for all his listeners. While Vox transforms into a monster if anyone harms Alastor and makes sure to record it for his lover to watch later. He once made a vinyl record of Alastor’s worst enemies’ screams as an anniversary gift since Al is an audiophile.
