So in one of your recent answers you said you want Vox and Alastor to reconcile and I do too but I don't know how likely it'll be that they actually do. I personally want them to be in some kind of romantic relationship even if that's not likely either but didn't Vox seem like he had feelings for Alastor in the backstory? It couldn't have just only been platonic, right? A lot of staticmoth shippers would HATE it cause they think it would get in the way of staticmoth and Val is Vox's one true love but I still want that to be a possibility, but what do you think with what we've seen and what Viv has said, I want your take on whether you think a reconciliation and maybe even something romantic could possibly become canon at some point
I'm very protective of aro Alastor so I don't actually want anything explicitly romantic from Alastor in canon (from HIS end, that is). That's what fic is for! Tho even in fics, I like to keep him aro-spec - which does NOT mean he can't be incredibly fond of Vox and have intense soft feels for him. I like mutual radiostatic where the type of love they have for the other isn't the same, but it's mutually intense, and works for them both, you know? <33 (That said, I enjoy demiro fics as well; Al with a crush is adorableeeee) But yeah, no, I personally don't want that to be canon.
But like I said, I do want them to reconcile their friendship, and then in fics we could use that as a jumping point for future radiostatic. I think Vox's romantic feelings for Alastor are pretty explicit canon by now: it wasn't said in as many terms, no, but all the little gestures, the expressions, the blushing - it's very clear that Vox was in love with Alastor, and likely still has semi-buried feelings under all the hurt and anger.
I also do think that he and Val have a good thing going, and I wouldn't want radiostatic to jeopardize that. (The Vees as a package deal! Do Not Separate!!) I'm firmly team "staticmoth can only ENHANCE radiostatic, actually". Val and Vox are both poly, and Alastor doesn't care, so I don't think there would be issues with them maintaining a polycule. And I think Vox dating Val too HELPS the radiostatic situationship remain at a healthier level, because that way Vox has Val to go to for all the affection and romance and sex he needs. Even if Al adores him and they have sex sometimes, it's very clear that Vox's sexual and emotional needs surprass that of Alastor's.
So if we have staticmoth as well, Alastor isn't solely responsible for satisfying Vox's sexual and emotional needs - which is less pressure on him, and less chances of resentment/greediness from Vox. My ideal scenario is when Vox and Alastor are primarily friends, Vox openly in love with Alastor and Al comfortable with that; Al also very fond of Vox; and them engaging in kinky sex sometimes, for intimacy, kink and power play. (You can take extreme kinkster ace Alastor from my cold dead hands.)
This is pretty much all fanon though XD Looking at it from a strictly canon view: I don't think we'll ever get mutually romantic radiostatic (which, like I said, I'm HOPING for bc it's nice to have aro representation) but I have seen nothing so far that would make a platonic reconciliation impossible. We're not even halfway trough the series, Vox is likely going to be at his worst now - and I think messing up with the rest of the Vees too -, but that still gives us two more season for him to claw his way back up and fix the relationships he cares about: the Vees AND Alastor, hopefully.
Thoughts on Vox so far this season?
With the reveal of the song title for radio static, everyone is scared Vox is going to SA Alastor but I for one hope he tries to noncon Alastor, where are all my dead dove noncon enjoying freaks who want this to happen cause it seems like it's just me
Oh, kay, I can answer this now.
(IDK if you see my post abt it on bsky, but just to make sure: I generally keep away from the title reveals cuz I feel overwhelmed with too much early information.)
So I LOVED THE NEW EPISODES!! And you know me, I love DD, I have no issues with noncon - BUT!! I'm also a softie and my hope for canon is still that Vox and Alastor might reconcile, or open the door to it, by the end of the show. Vox SAing Alastor would make that impossible, so I was very grateful it didn't happen* and I very much hope that won't change in the future, either. So far, I've been feeling great about everything!
*I know there is DramaTM about the cuck scene, and that some people do consider that SA. I don't. In real life? Sure, it would be a form of sexual harrassment. But in fiction, especially in the HAZBIN canon, where so much worse stuff happens? Where murder and noncon and all sorts of crimes are often casual and jokey? It barely registered as anything to me, I don't think Alastor was anything but annoyed by it, and I'm not entertaining negativity around the scene. I adored the episode and the cuck scene, full stop♥
Hi! Was the dead dove week account taken down? I can't seem to find it even though I was sure I was following! :0
OMG! IT WAS D: I just checked on the acct, and then on the email we had for it, and yep:
"A Bluesky account you control (@hazbinddweek.bsky.social) posted content that supports pedophilia or the sexual exploitation of minors, which is in violation of our Community Guidelines.

Jesus fucking christ.
I guess even posting ao3 links to Day 5 works counts as "posting content"..... I mean, I'm not exactly surprised, they took down my art crop as well that literally showed nothing but a close-up of Alastor's face. But it's sooo inconsistent, I'm pretty sure it's not anything auto-flagged but individual anti(s) reporting >__>
Aw man. That really sucks. But I'm glad at least we lasted through the event, and so many new DD works were created!♥ Will have to think hard on how to go about it next year😩😩😩
Following up to the ask sent 3 days ago after reading your answer...
After looking through my AO3 history I realized that the fic was actually written by someone else. For some reason my brain linked it to being something you would have written. I'm so sorry! 🫣
It's called "All Wrong" by AniseCandy if you feel like reading a little Dead Dove drabble.
Sorry for the confusion!!
Aaand I forgot to got back to this ask, too, ajndjgns SORRY!!
But yay, I'm glad it was figured out! :D See, i knew the premises SOUNDED familiar, I just didn't?? Recall writing it???? Hahaha but yes I've read Anise's. I love their dailies too!♥
Imma show Anise your comments, let 'em know there's interest in a continuation! :D
What happened to the daily drabbles 😞
Anon, don't be entitled😒 Was that emoji really necessary?
What happaned was DD week, Eggplosion submissions, friend birthday, and most of all: my writing muse finally returning so that I managed to finish and publish THREE oneshots - 14k altogether - all just in October! And I'm working on a new S2 inspired fic!
Drabbles were something to make myself feel productive with when I struggled with proper writing. I'm inspired and motivated enough to be momentarily out of the writing slump now, and you can bet I'm gonna milk my muse dry while it lasts. That said, I absolutely plan to return to the dailies because I enjoy them a lot - I just decided to let the rest of October go and pick it back up in November.
Inquiring is always welcome. Acting entitled to fics/art/etc isn't. Maybe you didn't mean to come across that way, but the emoji really didn't help the tone reading.
PS: I apologize to the other anon who very respectfully asked me about the dailies too recently, for answering this ask but not theirs. That one came at a time when I was rushing to finish Kiss Me Better before S2 dropped, and I meant to get back to it, but forgot and just saw it again now >O<
Seeing how you used Sator's ship positivity chart just letting you know they are fake af with ship positivity and in reality they are an anti that shamed incest and underage ships before on twitter not long ago with no signs of regret. They've just been more downlow with their judgmental attitudes on bluesky and choose who are 'one of the good ones' with users who like problematic ships that are just safe enough for them to not look down on or block like some Angel/Val shippers. I think they follow or are mutuals with a Valentino fan who is somehow a very outspoken anti so they are very pick and choose who they tolerate and what is an acceptable way to ship.
I know you don't investigate people and I'm not encouraging you confront them, I'm just warning and remembering how they acted before not long ago. It sucks 99% of ship positivity post actually means ship positivity to 'acceptable' ships. They've always pretended to respect all ships but turn around and say which ones are 'wrong' or 'gross'.
You wrote a drabble a while back where Alastor goes to an overlord meeting and finds Vox like really fucked up from their last fight and Val + Vel pretending everything is fine with him. I found that concept so fascinating. Would you ever consider writing a follow up?
Ahh I love how open you are with every, but you think we can have more Alastor fucks up Vox ( mentally and physically) literally love most of ur art and ideas 💖💖
No kink needs to be a dirty secret!! OvO
Hahaha, yeahhh I do have a clear preference for Alastor whump XD Or rather, I'm more picky with my evil asshole Alastor flavors - especially the mental torture. (Al genuinely mocking/hurting/using Vox's feelings for him while he himself is completely indifferent, and just leaves Vox broken while he has a good laugh, in particular QAQ That's too sad for my tulip heart ajsdjg)
But anyway, I do like to play with it sometimes, and I do have an art/collab in the works where top!Al fucks up Vox >:3 SOON! (In mb like a week or so^^)
Idk if someone's asked this before, do you have any plans to finish "desire is liquid"?
ABSOLUTELY😭 I'm so embarrassed abt taking such a long hiatus with that one. I guess it was a combination of me being on a writing block + this growing into a rather large idea. (Beyond the planned 4 chapters, I also have two sequels, a fixit twoshot and a smutty oneshot, fully outlined ajnsgjnsd) I started several other wips too, that are oneshots, and I kinda felt like it'd make more sense to try get THOSE out first, since shorter, and then move back to this... but I didn't make much progress with them either so ajhndsgjnsd I DON'T KNOW. Art is so much easier, I always struggle with writing up until I hit the 40-50% mark - then it gets MUCH easier haha.
tl;dr yeah I absolutely plan to finish it. Hopefully the S2 hype will give me that punch💪 And in the remaning two weeks until S2 I'm trying to finish at least one of those oneshot wips ajsngdjs
