Suddenly a charlastor artist.

I think there’s a lot more tied into Alastor’s choice to help Charlie than just “he was bored” or “he wanted power.” The deal with Rosie seems to be weighing on him, and there’s a sense of sadness beneath his performance. Charlie isn’t just a project—there’s something bigger going on involving her. It really feels like some of the overlords know more about her role in a larger “grand scheme” than she does.

Alastor looks almost regretful about what he had to give up to be in that hotel. And I don’t think that regret is just about losing influence or status. Whatever his original plan regarding Charlie was, he tried to get Rosie to let it drop—that feels important. It makes me think he isn’t just protecting himself; in his own twisted way, he might actually be trying to protect Charlie from whatever those greater plans are.

Because at this point, he knows her. He knows she’s powerful and determined, but he also knows she’s naïve. So even if he won’t say it outright, there may be a part of him that’s actually worried for her.

THEY ARE MIRRORING EACH OTHER'S SPEECH (❤️´艸｀❤️)

THEY LOVE EACH OTHER, YOUR HONOUR.

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

adult women aren’t inherently creepy for being in fandom and having hobbies apart from raising babies and doing taxes

the vast majority of people pushing back against the worrying trend of instigating harassment over fictional characters and relationships aren’t incest supporters or pedophiles, actually

liking a m/f ship doesn’t make someone a dirty heterosexual invading your space

preferring gay ships doesn’t make you ‘’woke’’ and good

no one owes you a disclaimer that they are a good person who recognizes that their favorite fictional villain’s actions are evil and that they don’t condone those actions irl

liking a fictional villain is in no way comparable to advocating abuse/murder/genocide/etc and you’re a fucking idiot if you believe that

just because a woman is attracted to a fictional villain doesn’t mean she’s promoting toxic relationships or going to end up in a toxic relationship. assuming women can’t tell fiction and reality apart stinks of internalized misogyny 

some rando’s a/b/o fanfics have none of the level of influence that popular tv shows and movies spreading propaganda have

no one owes you a detailed description of their traumas and mental health problems

abusive relationships are not the same as enemies to lovers ships

y’all need to chill the fuck out over people, relationships, actions and events that don’t actually exist and learn how to enjoy and discuss them like normal people

fandom is a hobby, not a form of activism

you can’t tell someone’s irl gender, sexuality, or values from what they read, write, and ship

I just couldn't help myself.

I just *love* to imagine that, after a particular intense day at the hotel (juggling sinners ain't easy job, y'all), Alastor would draw a bath for both himself and Charlie and then would spend time listening to his Princess blabbering away about all the exciting stuff she has done throughout the day.

Next artwork I draw, I *NEED* to draw a damn smooch between these two.

I NEED.

(but first I need to finish work on commissions lolol).

If Alastor had fatherly feelings towards Charlie, he:

would have been overjoyed to see that Lucifer is there to take control of the situation and give help. With him there, Charlie is the safest she can possibly be.

Would not have antagonised Lucifer from the beginning or responded to jabs on behalf of Charlie.

Would have given her the knowledge about Carmilla for free, instead of trapping her with a favour. Lucifer helps her for free, he even says so in the song, that he usually takes sacrifices, and gives her a family rate.

Would have already renovated the hotel by himself, he had 6 months. Lucifer does it in a day.

Wouldn't be antagonising Vaggie.

would most assuredly try to teach her some of what he knows, you know, like parents do. Even if she failed. Charlie is the second most powerful being in Hell and danger is coming to her. Teach her self defense if you're her dad then!

Would immediately rebuke Rosie's implications, but he didn't. Remember, when he's opposed to things, like Angel's suggestions, he immediately reacts.

Wouldn't cause Charlie to jolt every time he's nearby.

You have an opportunity in that episode to see what it looks like when someone actually does have a fatherly connection to his daughter, and for some reason, you keep repeating that Charlie is like his daughter. He doesn't think that, she doesn't think that, Lucifer doesn't think that. Vivziepop doesn't think that. He was going for a boyfriend angle first. But he's not that either at this time! His one goal was to show to Lucifer that he's unnecessary and needs to go away, because Lucifer has the ability to obliterate his plans. As soon as he says DAAAAD, he rotates his head to menacingly glare at Lucifer.
