Imagine spending all your energy being cool and mysterious 24/7.
What an idiot have I mentioned I love him?
Idea came from a cool post @nouverx made about Alastor’s possible sleeping habits. 💕
its been rly heartening to see big tumblr accounts with a specific theme (or bit) take a moment to raise awareness for palestine. in many ways being vocally pro-palestine is far, far more important than donations right now. palestinians have said so too. if it weren't it wouldn't be so risky for people to speak out. its a war on human life but it's also a war on the very memory, culture and history of the palestinian people. we can help them fight the second one just by posting. solidarity matters more than anything in this moment.
Footage emerged from Gazan journalist Nooh Al-Shagboni of the heroes of the Civil Defense rescuing a number of children, women, and youth from under the rubble of a home bombed by the IOF in Gaza.
A 37-day-old baby named Salam (peace), born during the first days of the war amidst the bombing, was rescued after a four-hour-long operation, reborn from under the rubble after all thought she had been martyred.
Salam was the firstborn child of her mother and father, who both ascended to martyrdom as a result of the bombing.
Last night I couldn’t sleep, so I drew this Forest Goddess. It’s just a little drawing on my part, but I did it in the hope it would raise some awareness with regards to an issue that weighs on my mind every day: Climate Change. The scientific consensus, and, indeed, the empirical situation we live in, shows us that climate change is real, and happening real fast - yet so many people still don’t believe it, or don’t think that it affects them. Personally, I am f*cking terrified by it.
Just last June in Europe we witnessed the ‘hottest month ever to be recorded on Earth’. It’s not an hyperbole: the heatwave that invested Italy, France and Spain was 2-3°C hotter than any other heatwave we have on record: this is a huge difference in temperature as it shows practically how much of an impact human made climate change is having on the planet. A group of World Weather Attribution scientists used computer models to show that a similar heatwave would have been averagely 4°C cooler just 100 years ago and reported that Climate Change makes this sort of heatwaves 5 times more likely to happen. These are real life changes we are seeing, and it’s only going to get worse.
Another piece of news caught my eye recently - various articles published by different international media outlets highlighting how the monthly deforestation of the Brasilian Amazon basin has gone up 88.4% compared with a year ago. This prompted me to read a bit more about the impact of forests on the global ecosystem and found out that they’re actually pretty important. On the WWC website your can read all about the beneficial effects of forests, but the bottom line is that by reducing forest loss, we can reduce carbon emissions and fight climate change.
However, in the last 50 years about a fifth of the forest has been cut and burned in Brasil. Scientists have warned that if another fifth of the Amazon basin is cut, it will initiate the feedback loop known as ‘dieback’: the forest will spontaneously start to dry out and burn regardless any attempt of human intervention. This would be disastrous for many reasons, but especially because the Amazon forest helps create a large parte of the Earth’s oxygen (what we breathe), clean fresh water and stores a huge amount of carbon. If the Amazon disappeared, it would release a huge ‘carbon bomb’ into the atmosphere, which would obliterate the basin of water and stop absorbing the sun radiation. This of course would be catastrophic for life on Earth as we know it.
One can easily get discouraged and depressed by reading all this despairing data and seeing how things are quickly deteriorating on the planet, however there are some things we can do in our daily life and to accelerate change! We can
- boycott brands that don’t have a deforestation-free supply chain
- plant trees and care about our immediate environment
- contact and pressure our governments to push climate change to the top of their agenda (get in touch with your local representatives or take part to grassroots movements and demonstrations, there are many options out there!)
- read, read, READ! Information is key. When the sky comes down on us it won’t do to say ‘Oh, I didn’t know about that’

Thinking about the parallels between Alastor and Lucifer
Lucifer is a total goober who basically wears his heart on his sleeve. The best mask he can muster up is awkwardly trying to interact with Charlie's friends after being isolated for so long.
He has no need to put on an intimidating facade bc he is so ridiculously powerful he doesn't need to fear anything. What scares him is the loss of the relationship with his family, bc that is something that has nothing to do with his power or rank. It's something he has to repair on his own. His wife and daughter are what he holds dear, so he doesn't care about his reputation being good or bad in the end, at least in terms of being Hell's ruler.
He comes off as fumbling and cute which is why when he finally unleashes his power it is so shocking
Meanwhile Alastor
He is someone who quite literally never stops wearing a smile no matter what situation he is in
He wants everyone to know he is someone to fear, someone to never mess with, someone who is always in control of whatever situation he is in. He is always elegant, precise, and composed- when he's not going on some kind of demonic rampage ofc
He puts this intimidating mask on bc he is actually very aware of how weak he is despite his power as an Overlord. He has something to fear. He has an image he needs to project onto others so no one thinks they can mess with him. He LOVES showing off how badass and powerful he is
He comes off as an insanely overpowered, incredibly intelligent being who can never be bested.
-When really he is actually arrogant to the point of nearly causing his own death (bc he wanted to show off his power to Adam without the help of an angelic weapon), insecure whenever he isn't the strongest being in the room, incredibly tempermental when anyone tries to belittle him, and overall barely keeping it together at his worst.
Both characters are very fascinating to compare after their rivalry in Dad Beat Dad bc of their relationships with Charlie.
Alastor and Charlie are far from friends, with Alastor being quite blunt in his flippant intentions with helping her in the first place- and yet she finds him reliable and a good mentor in his own way? He sets out to do what he promised which is helping her with maintaining her hotel and guiding her spiritually throughout the process. He doesn't believe in redemption, but if Charlie wants to try a method out he will not sabotage her and legitimately sees it through. He will give her good advice and connections so she can accomplish her goals, especially during the finale episodes.
Meanwhile her own dad, due to his own mental health reasons, has not been there for her for this whole endeavor. He can't talk to her easily, doesn't help her in the way she asked, doesn't believe in her, and does nothing but talk down on her dreams, saying they aren't worth the effort bc of his own attempts in the past at the same thing. But despite all this, unlike Alastor, his immense love and affection for her are limitless and true. He legitimately wants to be there for her, but isn't. Not until the end of the episode where he still doesn't exactly believe in her dreams of redemption, but he sits back and helps her in any way he can- like Alastor has been doing
Both seem to have something the other envies
Alastor wants to be untouchable and all powerful like Lucifer
While Lucifer very obviously wants to reclaim the fatherly position in Charlie's life away from Alastor
By the end of the finale he definitely has lol, but Alastor is still stuck in turmoil over this mysterious deal that is restricting him in some way
Here's a website where Palestine GoFundMes are vetted and shared that you can send out to people. The url is gazafunds.com
Easy to use and simple. Just share the site whenever someone asks for GFMs for Palestine.
I hope op knows how correct they are and both sides of their pillow are cold tonight and many nights more
