ramble about a theory
I had a thought
so I went to rewatch the scene from hazbin hotel where Alastor rejects Vox
and holy shit I just had a crisis bc I recognize Alastor’s reaction a lil more than I wanted to
ik everyone is like “oh he didn’t have to be that harsh in his reaction” but uhhh I recognize that reaction and I don’t think he’s intentionally trying to be that harsh
but I recognize that.
That is him exaggerating the reaction so that there is no possibility that it could be confused for a yes.
Especially with how often in that scene he hides his face while laughing
If Alastor actually thought that him and Vox were not and could never be friends, then he wouldn’t hide his face.
There would be no reason for him to hide what his emotions were because that is a very complicated situation and it causes very complicated emotions.
Especially if you did want to believe what you were originally told but it wasn’t true.
But if Alastor shows that on his face, he has to admit that it hurt him.
Which gives more opportunity for that to be used against him in the future by Vox
and I know that because of the fact that I had to be a lot more of a bitch than I wanted to be when I had to repeatedly reject the guys in my auto class because I didn’t want to give them any nuance to use against me
anyway if I wrote something about this would y’all want to read it
