This is a big ol’ post for my writing. Links to individual fics and brief descriptions under the cut. I’m also open for fic prompts, if you have any. I’m not a multishipper, so I’ll only write things I ship (with some exceptions), but ships I write for are also under the cut.
So I'm doing a bunch of little illustrations for @zaebeecee's fic To Sever a Loveless Bond and the first one really got away from me so I'm posting it on its own.
Read the fic here, it's at 7 chapters so far!!
listen
I’m gonna fucking die ✨
the daily and almost overwhelming urge to go through hazbin hotel episode three and correct every instance of zestial’s use of thee/thou/thy and you because almost all of them are
Ohhhh, so THAT’S how it happened
OBJECTION‼️‼️‼️ nuh-uh but make it alastor and husk
I have been laughing at this since yesterday, I think it's us @top-shelf-tender 😭
"This ritual is gonna go great! No regrets, baby!"
Angel Dust is all decked out for some cultist shenanigans of a kinky variety. To be filmed and brought to a scuzzy DVD near you!
Whipped this up for @zaebeecee in anticipation of the next chapter of To Sever a Loveless Bond, the fic I am currently COMPLETELY OBSESSED WITH Y'ALL I'M LOSING IT
MY HUSBAND IS THE BEST HUSBAND
LOOK AT THIS I LOVE IT

I’m sorry this took forever, y’all, my autoimmune bullshit has been kicking my ass the last few days. But it’s long (lol)
CW for discussion of racism, homophobia, and medical abuse/trauma. Mild CW for the beginnings of the promised developing smut. It isn’t graphic (yet). Alastor’s POV is wordy and meandering.
My beautiful and perfect husband designed and did art of Angel Dust’s ritual outfit, and it’s right here and you should go give him love.

Angel Dust arrived at Alastor’s room at precisely eight, just as instructed. Despite the fact that Alastor himself was the one who set the time, and the fact that he was aware Angel Dust had noticed his fondness for punctuality, he was still caught off guard when he heard the gentle knock on his door.
It wasn’t normal, how often the spider was able to surprise him by doing nothing more than being himself. Alastor chalked up his own altered state to the conversation with Rosie earlier that afternoon, because if his fellow overlord had only one talent, it would be pushing him off balance with very little trouble. It wasn’t really Angel Dust having some sort of profound effect on him. It was just Rosie, and the cursed mark on his arm.
Alastor knew that he could have just bade the door open on its own with his magic, or sent his shadow to do it, but he found himself crossing the room to welcome in his guest. Angel Dust stood on the other side of the wood, one set of hands clasped in front of his torso and the other set behind his back, looking… was he on edge? Nervous, perhaps? How odd.
isn’t there a part of the bible where god gets mad at a fig tree for not having any figs on it and curses the fig tree?
yeah there legit is that’s 100% true
Yes.
Oh my god
last time we reblogged this we got anon hate from the christian community. You guys really are passionate about your figs.
I just love that they included this story like do you think Jesus and the Lads just retold that story every time they had a drink like “NEVER HAVE I EVER CURSED A FIG TREE” and Jesus is like “you GUYS”
STICKERS!!!
You can order yours here now!!! Quantity is limited, but I will be making more if demand is high enough. Get them through my Etsy link above!!!
If these sell well enough, I'll be adding more characters too. Who do you want to see next??
Alastor can look either gorgeous or like your absolute nightmare and I think that's beautiful.
has anyone done the obligatory
It strikes me as very interesting that Alastor’s response to Angel’s sexual advances, ie laughing/dismissing them and then pretending they didn’t happen, is somehow proof that the two of them would be a bad ship?
But the fact that Husk’s response to those sexual advances, ie hating them so viscerally (and not in an “I’m secretly into it” kind of way) that they have three separate, full on fights spurred on by it in the same episode, is apparently not a ship problem?
Especially since “this is Angel’s front and he’s not actually that aggressively forward” is one of the main points of episode 4 so it shouldn’t be a problem for any ship at all, but is constantly dredged up when people bring up RadioDust, even though Alastor has the most neutral reaction to Angel’s advances in the entire primary cast?
I just don’t get it
So here's the thing.
I've been noticing a lot of focus on the idea that "Redemption by way of Going to Heaven" is a good thing, and a valid goal. And that it's still something reasonable to consider given that Adam was sent to Heaven. There is no reality in which Adam got into Heaven by "being good." And there are legitimately good people in Hell.
Episode 6 makes it EXTREMELY CLEAR that the rules are broken/not understood, and Lucifer states plainly in Episode 5 that Heaven isn't a great place to live if you wanna think for yourself. 6 reemphasized this by essentially suggesting the place is a dystopia. You'll only have a good time if you conform and don't ask any questions, and that "good time" is pretty debatable let's be real. Remember Ba Sing Se?
I think Pentious' ascendence (which I'm banking is based on his self sacrifice, cuz that's gotta be a key feature regardless of the nature of Heaven) is going to illustrate a lot about the imbalances present.
Therefore, I propose that Charlie's arc is going to be more about discovering that redemption has nothing to do with going to Heaven, and real joy can be found by helping her people grow and evolve to make THEIR CURRENT HOME a better place to live, overcoming the curse placed on the city to punish Lucifer for being a free thinker. (Like, are we really rooting for people to go to the place that feels like a conversion camp??)
The show appears to have made it clear. The bliss of Heaven is a lie, and we're leaning into that lie by thinking it's a good thing for the characters to strive for.
Part 7/?

Something of an interlude chapter and a bit shorter, sorry about that. Doctor stuff slowed me down today.

Guillermo’s was a small cafe on the fifteenth floor of an office building in the Greed District. It was ludicrously exclusive, the kind of place that you had to really know someone in order to get into, and it served as close to real Italian food as you could find in Hell. It was one of the few decent restaurants that wasn’t seen as part of Rosie’s overlord territory, and often saw business from overlords, various high-ranking Hellborn visiting the Pride ring, a few of the Goetian nobility, and even (on one occasion, judging by the framed and signed photo on the wall) the famous imp clown, Fizzarolli. You needed a reservation, and it could take weeks or even months to get in.
Angel Dust had never once had to wait to get into Guillermo’s. No matter when he showed up, there was a table for him, no questions asked. This was because Angel had done the place a favor by keeping the Vees from attempting to interfere with it, a thing that could easily ruin any business. And the reason Angel did them such a favor was because the place was funded—and unofficially managed by—his older brother, Arackniss.
Their entire living existence, Angel and Arackniss had a difficult relationship. Volatile, and often violent, they had at least been unified in their shared hatred of their parents and had managed to become amicable business partners after the death of their father and Arackniss’s subsequent management of the Family Business.
Arackniss had never said it, but Angel was pretty sure that Anthony’s overdose had been the final nail in the coffin of their animosity, and now, they got along well enough for two guys with nothing in common who didn’t see each other for years at a time. It had its perks, especially since Arackniss was still tangled up in Hell’s mafia and had more connections than Vox had ports.
Family is family, I guess. Even down here.
just a little scratchy sketch of my favorite sinners
So... I made my own Sinner Adam. My first angle with the outfit design came from inspiration from his angel robe's collar, leading to an Elvis a la Vegas era look. (I really like the inverted A belt buckle) Then we went super fuckboy and just it gooooo and now I realize he's giving a little bit of forgotten Espada member from Bleach.
The mouths everywhere came from the idea that he preys upon and consumes people (especially women, look at Lilith, Eve, HIS ENTIRE EXORCIST FORCE) and making it more literal, and not shying away from how weird and grotesque that comes out.
And he has bone wings because now he can call himself... THE BONE DRAGON
AU where Adam falls to Hell, wakes up as a sinner, and gets picked up by Vox and trained in the ways of Hell by the Vees
Bonus points for
Velvette: Why the fuck is Adam here?
Vox: He knows us, he doesn’t know shit about Hell, and he doesn’t know how to use his abilities anymore, plus he’s strong and stupid. He’ll be easy as fuck to manipulate.
Valentino: And if it goes wrong?
Vox: We arrange for him to have some quality time with the princess and then make sure Lucifer finds out about it.
Velvette: As long as he doesn’t touch me, sounds baller.
Fandoms as a whole need to get their shit together and settle on ship names because I shouldn’t have to blacklist 35 different tags to avoid seeing 2 ships
This is the FUNNIEST SHIT I HAVE EVER SEEN
