Oooh I would love to!

A lot of my decisions for Alastor’s angel form was based on ✨ OPPOSITES ✨

I had it so Alastor’s angel form reflected more of his human self. A proportionate smile, human teeth, glasses, and rounded fingertips (due to no claws). His hair is similar to his human hairstyle (this design was created before we got Alastor’s human design so I was going by Viv’s old doodle of Alastor’s human form, thus his hair isn’t as curly 😔)

When creating angel Alastor I wanted him to look similar to demon Alastor so he’s recognizable as the same person, but also opposite enough to differentiate their designs. Their suits are similar, parts of their hairstyle are too, as well as their overall smile and eye shape. But his color scheme is completely different.

Red is a warm color whereas blue is cool color. They’re not exactly opposite on the color wheel but when I think of the opposite of red, blue is always what comes to mind. (Red also blends in with Hell which is exactly what Alastor wants and the light blue of his angel suit would stick out like a sore thumb). I didn’t want his eyes to be blue tho because that’s most of his color palette already and I wanted them to stick out, which is why i made them gold.

Heaven also has a lot of blue and gold in it which makes him look more angel-like (and gold just complements this shade of blue really well).

He was also still very radio-based in Heaven and I wanted him to have a microphone up there too, so instead of a microphone staff he gets a shiny microphone with a glowing cord. Ideal for strangling someone but he can’t spin it around or play with it as much as his staff.

His suit is similar but there are small differences. Instead of the cross on his chest he has buttons. Instead of tatters in the hem of his coat it’s sleek, unmarred, and has gold on the ends. Instead of bare hands he wears classy white gloves. The tips of his shoes aren’t red but more the shape of hooves because he has those as an angel too. Wide-rim glasses instead of a red-tinted monocle.

He’s very flashy and eye-catching in his angel form. While he wants to stick out in Hell as a powerful Overlord, he also wants to blend in so he looks like he belongs there.

As for the antlers I just love the concept of them forming his halo. It’s very big and noticeable compared to Alastor’s smaller black ones.

Alastor also gave himself a bob-cut because it was a very feminine, rebellious hairstyle when he was alive and he’s always wanted one.

Maman Armina - the character I often use as Alastor's mother in my fanfics. This is her fairly young, sometime when she would have gotten pregnant with Al.

So, as I'm sure my readers have noticed, I have lots of big ideas for fics with deep lore and explorations of canon characters while also trying to fill in the world with well-developed OCs that are just as flawed and real as the canon people. (I try not to let the OCs take over, but sometimes it happens, though I do try to bring it back around to focusing on canon. *looks at Azrael, Armina, Jehoel, and Michael*)

One serious issue I have is FINISHING those fics, a curse I am sure many writers have. So many times I can see the ending, I know where I am going, but getting the story there gets harder the closer I get. Sometimes it's because I am invested in a particular ending but the story has evolved so that no longer fits. (Inhuman Vastness) Sometimes it is because my brain doesn't want the story to be done because it wants to keep playing in that sandbox even though the plotlines are all nearly resolved. (To Be So Claimed) And sometimes it just feels... sad to know that once I get to that part, it's all done? If that makes any sense? (Avatar of Hell)

And then there are the ones where I don't know why, but any time I even try to write for them, my muses suddenly throw something new and shiny and exciting to explore in my face and I can't grasp the words I need for what I actually want to write. (Quid Pro Quo, Sin of Betrayal, Child of Death, Guardian of Autumn Leaves, etc) It's frustrating and I know it frustrates my readers because they get invested and want to see where it all goes.

I know. Fanfic writing is done for free and fun and I shouldn't worry so much about what other people think, but I feel like my readers are my friends in a way, especially the repeat commentors who get so excited with every chap. I feel like I let them down. I always end up taking a few steps back and tell myself that I don't need anyone else's permission to write what I want to write, that it's only going to make it worse if I try to force out chapters for things that won't feel as good and fun. Sometimes I believe it, sometimes I don't. But it's kept me going this long.

I guess I just wanted to get this out so that those who ARE getting frustrated with the lack of updates on some fics know that it bothers me too and hopefully this helps them understand why I keep starting new ones even though I have so many I need to finish.

Love you guys! And I hope you continue to enjoy all these worlds I form even though I have a hard time resolving them.

Btw, if anyone EVER wants to play in one of the sandboxes I make, please know you have my permission and all I ask is to see what you build and for the original story to be acknowledged as the source of inspo. Otherwise, have at it and explore and don't feel like I will get mad or accuse you of stealing. (Unless you pretty much copy/paste. Then yeah.)
