Hey, quick question, is Alastor still asexual in the Poison AU, and if so, how does his sexuality affect his relationship with Vox and the deal?
Assume Alastor is asexual in all of my fics and art. I never think to tag it cuz I’ve always considered it inherent to the character, like he’s asexual unless tagged otherwise, you know?
But yes, he is and it does put even more of a strain on their relationship. Like in the show, Alastor’s never had a word to describe his relationship with sex, all he knows is that he’s not all that interested in it and he’s waiting for the “right one” to come along and “fix it.”
I can see asexuality being something Vox doesn’t understand or necessarily believe in (in the circumstances that HE even knows the term) and any lack of interest on Alastor’s part he takes as a personal attack. But he’s still very possessive of Alastor and although Alastor has become something of a sex icon, unlike Angel Dust, he’s not actively involved in porn.
He may do soft core pornography, like sexy pin-ups, calendars, photo shoots (maybe pole dancing for a specific clientele—but there is still a strict “no touch” policy—or audio for those with voice kinks). As long as it doesn’t involve physical sex, Vox will allow it.
And despite their fucked up relationship, Alastor appreciates it too. The only person he has actual sex with is Vox, which is far easier to deal with then multiple people. It makes him a bit more lenient/cooperative towards Vox, but it’s still not necessarily consensual as he wouldn’t be doing it if he got a choice.
I think the ONLY time Vox would have Alastor sleep with someone else is if it would help him seal a deal. But it would have to be with a HUGE influential figure (like a major Overlord) or Goetia) for him to even considered, and they would have to be the one to request it, he never gives it out as an option.
So, to sum up, Alastor isn’t interested in sex but he can handle having a sexual image, the only person he IS physical with is Vox and MAYBE a major figure under very specific circumstance. It has put an even deeper rift between Alastor and Vox (aside from Vox tricking Alastor into signing over his soul)
