I thought there was something cool to say about how two popular canon ace characters are either horror or horror adjacent (Jon from The Magnus Archives and Alastor from Hazbin Hotel) but they're not treated as a monster stereotype due to their asexuality but then I had to go to work and lost the train of thought so idk what more I was going to say tbh I just love them both

Alastor’s depiction means a lot to me as an aro man- in part because I really did not have high expectations for him as Aroace rep. I figured he was made to be Aroace because he’d be ~inhuman and distant and unable to form emotional connections~. Maybe not like, actively aphobic but still a pretty lame stereotype.

But then in the show itself Alastor isn’t depicted like that at all. Not only does he have genuine attachment to his friends like Mimzy and Rosie and eventually the whole hotel, one of his conflicts is that he’s become too attached, that he almost died protecting those he cared about and not for his own goals.

His lack of romantic attraction and his sex repulsion is actively written into the show, not as something that “others” him but simply an aspect of what makes Alastor himself, treated with full positivity and support. It doesn’t define him, but it does impact his character and how he interacts with the world around him, as any sexuality would.

So, yeah, hats off to you Hazbin Hotel, you beat my expectations and have some of the best aromantic rep I’ve ever experienced, even without using the word in the show itself.

Catch me as Neil Josten today at DragonCon! I'm going to a queer YA panel but will I be recognized? We shall see. Also, yes. My completely AFTG themed fox ita bag is one of my crowning achievements in life.

No one said anything at the queer YA panel but someone did see me at that panel and said something at a different panel we ended up in! I was actually complimented by 3 different people at that panel! I'm reprising it tomorrow because there's an artist who will appreciate seeing it and I have no other good plans. 🧡

I might try to use this again lmao and I don't want to start from scratch so I just updated my description with what I go by now, my actual age, and my updated pronouns. Will I go back and edit all the fucking pages I have? Probably not. Will people really look at them now? Idk probably not?? Apparently people really only use the app?? Anyway, I wanted to post a link to my andreil trench porn bc I think yall will like it and I might go back to reblogging some shit but who knows. I might disappear again bc I haven't really touched this much over the past like 5 years or more lmao.
