Fuck ai

Usually i don't post masterpost before the comic itself, but, as you may guess, this comic is a... special case. The cover sums up the AU pretty much, and this isn't type of thing that i usually do. Usually i try to avoid sexual topics at all, because it makes me uncomfortable, but i guess the fact that Hazbin is an adult show and doesn't shy away from sexual topics, it kinda also makes me think about it too? And lately i felt like all the ways i torture Alastor in my works just isn't enough.

At first i didn't even want to draw this idea. But when i told it in my discord, several people got really excited about it, and wanted to see it, so, i decided to make this comic. But i thought, i'd just leave it discord exlusive, because it felt too dark and too out of character for me to make something like this on public.

And then i learned that apparently April is Sexual Assauls awarnes and prevention month and this comic fit right in the topic. And here's the thing, usually i rarely make occasion/event themed stuff in time (the pride series was an exception), so, the fact that i got this idea right before the month made me think that it wasn't a coincidence. Maybe someone out there needs to see this.

And trust, if not me, than my discord folks, that i didn't sexualize of romanticize any of this stuff and bad things are portrayed as bad, and not downplayed.

This comic is rather short, compared to my other long running comics (only 65 pages) (trust me, it's a small comic, considering that Forced broadcast may have over 200 sketched by the time of writing this post), and Alastor WILL get out of this situation, i know for some people that can be deciding factor on whether or not read the story. And no, this isn't smut. This gets as graphic as episode 4 of season 1, but nothing more. This comic may later get additional content, dedicated to Alastor dealing with trauma and his healing process.

I'm not putting tw tags on this post, but I will be tagging parts of the comic with TW tags for SA, especially those with most graphic scenes, and i will try to hide graphic pages under cut.

Timeline wise, it fits. Q mentions Dazai's 'new friends' are easy to break, which implies the person Q targeted in the past was likely someone Dazai was generally close with. This could mean;

Odasaku, Ango, Akutagawa, Chuuya (I know some of you are going "They aren't friends!" but their relationship is complicated so we'll consider them as people Q would have thought were Dazai's friends.)

Q's ability has conditions, it's a single target ability that activates when Q is injured and the doll rips. Ango doesn't have a combat ability. Oda is incredibly efficient in combat but his proficiency is in guns and martial arts. Akutagawa is a very likely contender but the reason I think it's Chuuya;

Chuuya considers Port Mafia family and values life. If he were the one to be affected, the one that murdered his companions, I think he would be the most distraught. And Chuuya's destructive force is unparalleled even without corruption. His use of combat combined with gravity makes him absolutely terrifying.

On top of that, Chuuya's humanity is something that is important to him and on some level, Dazai as well. Dazai was willing to give up a plan with high chance of success to save Yokohama and try to quickly come up with another if it meant Chuuya could have answers to what he is. Chuuya sacrificed that and went with the plan with the highest chance of defeating Verlaine.

Dazai also mentions hating mind control, again, something that's particularly important in Chuuya's case thanks to the coding in Chuuya's head possibly forcing him to activate corruption against his will, to be used the way Paul Verlaine was with forced command orders. So Q taking away Chuuya's autonomy and breaking his spirit would be a good reason, imo, why Dazai does not like Q.
