Beautiful sharks!
Why do you like sharks?
Ok, this is more theory craft that has been on my mind for a bit for random reasons.
If you have no interest in Hazbin Hotel, I suggest you leave this be; if you do, join me as I ask: could Alastor's dealmaker be a SIN or a hellborn?
-
So, lets get down to business, most people will agree that Alastor likely came to the hotel because of his deal either to:
Stop the hotel from succeeding
Provide suport for the hotel
Keep Charlie happy
Suport Charlie
Keep Charlie safe and alive
Dissuade Charlie of her dreams
Dissuade sinners from joining the hotel
Or some combination of all of the above
As of now, we assume Alastor's deal has something to do with his seven-year disappearance from Pride. Considering Vox and his apparent obsession with Alastor and keeping an eye on him, we are assuming Alastor must not have been in Pride for the seven years he was missing.
That and with the show's and hotel's straightforward plots relating to heaven and redemption, the theory community of Hazbin points to Alastor's deal maker having to be someone with clear connections to Heaven because the only way Alastor would have been able to escape Vox's eye would be for him to have been in heaven for those seven years, and as such the leading contenders for his deal maker would have been Sera or Lilith since they are the most prominent figures that could have any of the deal reasonings apply to them.
However, there is another place i believe Alastor could have been that escapes Vox's eyes. And that, is the lower rings of Hell.
If you watch Hell of a Boss, you will notice that the lower rings do not use Voxtech items, and we do not know for now if Vox can connect to items that do not either have software he has produced or hardware he has made. So, that would mean the lower rings of hell could be a potential blind spot for Vox and a potential place Alastor could have been for his seven year absence.
"but wait," you say, "Sinners can't go into the lower rings of Hell!"
Very true! But, has it ever been explained WHY they can't go to the lower rings?
As far as I have been able to find, no. But, most theories posit that some magic prevents them from going down. But, as we have been able to see in the show, all magic seems to has some counterbalance, for example while a deal makes a soul a slave to a master it can not take up all the slave's time and the mastor can not control what the thrall does outside that time or what the thrall thinks or says unless it is part of the deal.
As such, what if there was magic that could give a sinner permision to leave PRIDE.
It would have to be someone with stronger power then that of any sinner or overlord, and the only ones higher on hell's higherarchy then sinners that could achieve this goal are the Ars Goetia, or The Seven Deadly Sins. This is considering Lilith is in heaven, Charlie never met Alastor till he showed up, and Lucifer didn't even leave his castel for ages even before the seven year time Lilith was missing till his call with Charlie.
While a Goetia forming a deal with a Sinner is just as possible, considering their views of anyone lower on the hierarchy than them, and Alastor's deal likely has something to do with giving him power, I don't think a Goetia would have likely sullied themselves with a sinner much less bring them to a lower ring.
So, it likely would had to have been a SIN.
But why?
Well, part of hell's power comes from sinners and their power flowing through hell, if I had to guess, so keeping sinners in hell would be a high priority, and a place like a hotel that could potentially remove that power source would be a massive problem for the Sins. So, having someone innocuously keep an eye on the hotel and keep it for succeeding would be necessary. And who better than a sinner and one that could scare off prospective sinners like an overlord?
On another side of the scale, most people believe that the Sins are Charlie's Aunts and Uncles, so a lot of them could potentially want to support Charlie's dream or keep her safe, even if they can't do it directly (either because of Lucifer or another reason). So, who better to do it than one of the few high-level sinners with a moral code? It would probably just take a bit of convincing; nothing a few years of stealing them away to a lower ring couldn't fix.
As for Sin, I can't say; I suspect not Mammon because he seems too lost in his sin to care about the hotel, but I can't put anything on his care for the family. Ozzie does not seem the type to sabotage, so if it were him, I would suspect more care than anything. Bee's personality makes me think care would be more likely than wanting to sabotage the hotel. I've heard Satan is a more traditionalist when it comes to the sins to sabotage would be possible. Still, I can't say anything about his family care (though if we use Vivzi's other works as a guide, I suspect Satan would not be a supporter but possibly a protector of Charlie herself). Leviathan and Belphagore are a complete mystery.
There is one last option for who the deal maker could be that I have to mention, and that is the Von Eldrich family (I can't identify which member specifically). We know they have an antagonistic relationship with Charlie, and at least the children could want Charlie's idea to fail. And they have to be a reasonably strong family to have portraits with the royal family if we use previous art as an indicator. Plus, they will likely be powerful enough to pull off the "allowing a sinner into a lower ring" potential. Also, the color palette when we see Alastor covered in strings relating to the von Eldrich family color palette does line up surprisingly well, and their looks could relate to their powers being something like the Lovecraftian horror we see Alastor using.
For now, this is just a theory. And I hope it inspires some writing and drawing. If it does, please link me.
That look so cute asleep like that.
don’t TALK TO THEM they’re SLEEPING

Ok, I do not know what the f*** is going on in the wider world involving outside the streams I watch of the QSMP (and if people want to try and explain it properly, go ahead), but what I have gathered is Forever the content creator might have done something involving pedophilia or the like.
I myself will not talk about my opinion because I do not have one, I have no way to decern the truth of the situation and as such am not forming an opinion.
However, I can understand people wanting to distance themselves from the content creator because of this situation.
That being said, I would like to state, if you still want to write or draw about the Character Forever, that is perfectly fine. Do not let your feelings for the content creator affect the character he created. You can write about a character and hate how the characters creator acted. Just like you can hate a character, but love their creator or actor.
Do not let the real world affect how you view the story.
Sometimes people come from some place different.
Sometime they can't understand.
Sometimes they are going though problems.
Sometimes they need a hand.
In any case, they always need a friend.
For RedStarryNight on dA of his idea for a Miraculous Ladybug/Danny Phantom crossover! Here’s a snippet he wrote to create the atmosphere for this piece:
“Chat Noir doesn’t know where their new friend comes from. He speaks no French–when he speaks at all, fades into the air after every shining butterfly flaps away, and as they discover when they have to help him stagger away from one particularly onerous fight, he’s apparently sleeping in the dark corners of Paris’s opera house, or meditating among the skeletons in the catacombs.
Wherever he comes from, he’s obviously fleeing it–and dying with every step away from home.
Chat’s heart bleeds for his new friend; beaten down as he is, this Phantom still shrugs off his cares and heartache to help them protect Paris. Ladybug agonizes over Phantom; she wants to help–they both do–but Phantom only smiles and shakes his head. But at least it IS a smile.
So, they seek him out. Talk to him. Treat him like a friend (because he is). Like they’re happy he’s there (because they are). They bring him food, tell him about their days and their adventures. He doesn’t send them away, and sometimes he laughs. Someday soon, they’ll know what they can do; being heroes, they’re always happy to save someone.”

... Guess I'm blue. I guess I get to be OP and consider cute for no reason.
Fuck yes, I’m dream-
This feels like something I want to read, but I don't have a archive account and I don't know if I am allowed to have an account and just lurk.
I do write, but it is nothing as amazing as what is on archive of our own.
Here’s a VERY unfinished comic from the amazing fic Monkey King's Guide to Physical Contact by @ninja-knox-ur-sox-off . I lost steam on it a little while back so it never got finished, but thanks so much to the incredible @lavaflowe for all the constructive criticism and lettin me dump ideas on ya! This Monkey Has Problems
So, I am working on a variant of Dreamtale. Curious to see what people think.
