Poor Twilight Sparkle 😢

Payasita es malvada 😥

This actually happened 💔

I want to talk about my favourite headcanon/theory which is Alastor's connection to Evil. I know we don't have confirmation that Roo is going to be a character so I will start with what we have on the show. Evil, as seen above, isn't just a concept but an actual physical being that the angels were trying to guard against.

Lucifer accidentally creates an avenue for Evil to get into the world when he gives the fruit to Eve. It gains access to Eve and through that access to all of humanity.

Alastor's power is filled with connections to Evil in a way that we haven't seen with other sinners so far. From his antlers that look like branches to the red and black of his power, it looks like an excellent match.

Obviously, by itself, this all looks like circumstantial evidence. However, I say that these are hints of what's to come based on things Vivzie has said and the past iterations of Alastor. Vivzie recently did this interview where she stated that Alastor's creation was inspired by Bambi and Johnny the Homicidal Maniac. She also stated that he is her most consistent character even though is also the character that he has had the longest. This is actually the most important part of this theory.

Johnny the Homicidal Maniac is about Johnny, a homicidal maniac killing people to use their blood as paint on a wall that is meant to keep a world-ending evil from escaping. Those two weird creatures you see beside him in the image above are minions of the evil behind the wall who feed his mental illness with one of them trying to get him to commit suicide to free their master. At some point in the story, gets accidentally shot in the head. This frees the evil which wipes at the world but luckily God fixes it.

Obvious similarities between inspiration and creation can be seen in that they are both serial killers and both died by an accidental gunshot to the head. However, it doesn't stop there. If you look closely at Alastor's minion summons, they share some resemblance to the wierd creatures that torment Johnny. The main difference is that unlike Johnny, Alastor has control over them. This then leads to the possible similarity that I am trying to draw out. Another similarity I believe exists but we have not properly seen in canon is that just like Johnny's connection to the evil behind the wall, Alastor has a connection to Evil. The type of connection and level of connection will likely be revealed in future episode. However, just like the difference in relationships with minion, I think Alastor is able to personally use powers from Evil for himself.

The only thing that I can tell was pulled from Bambi is that he is a deer. However, there is something else to consider about the fact that Bambi is part of his creation story. I know a lot of people believe that Alastor was raised by his mother but the thing is Bambi's mother dies when he is a child. Bambi actually then taken in and raised by his father to be a prince of the forest. This would mean that canonically there is a chance that Alastor's mother died when he was a child and he was raised by his father but this is purely speculation as I have know way of knowing what was taken from Bambi other than the deer thing. This then leads us to one of the earliest iterations of Alastor. The Zoophobia Alastor which is where these traits first tried to merge.

Undead, powerful, and always smiling, Zoophobia Alastor was an evil, shapeshiting, cannibalistic deer. His mother was Malvada an evil Eldritch Deity. She was a Lovecraftian entity who primarily disguised herself in the form of a red and black deer whilst her main one was a gigantic formless mass. This means that in Zoophobia, main evil entity is literally Alastor's mother. What does this mean for canon Hazbin Hotel! Alastor? Personally, I know what I would like it to mean, but I actually do not know. It just proves to me that Alastor has always had a connection to Evil and he is going to have that connection in Hazbin Hotel as well.

Here's her latest design next to Alastor:

And here's her older designs:

May I introduce *Drumroll* My Fanon Alastor’s bio dad, Malvada! Yes, my fanon version of Alastor is a weird combination of his current and past iterations.

I have a lot of headcannon’s/lore bits surrounding this, but I don’t want this post to be too long (and most of my points are in the drawing as well), so I’ll keep it brief.

Malvada is the “Evil” that is currently possessing Eve (thus making her “Roo”), as well as the “Evil” Lucifer released when he gave humanity free will. Neither Alastor, Lucifer, or anyone else at the hotel (at this point) are aware that Malvada is Al’s bio father. Malvada made a deal with Alastor through Roo when Al was still alive, so he is ‘“‘Technically’”’ the owner of Al’s soul.

He has plans for Alastor and the rest of the Hazbin Hotel cast, but he isn’t revealing that yet.

Am more than willing to answer questions if you have any!
