From Chapter One of my fanfic Memories. YALL I CANT DRAW PEOPLE-

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.

Lucifer at the hight of his depression.

Lucifer: 🎶You put the peeps in the chili pot and you eat it all up!🎶You put the peeps in the chili pot and add the m&ms!🎶 You put the peeps in the chili pot and it makes it taste bad!🎶

I feel like I got off easy. I have actual food.

Me : well maybe it's not that bad?

Me : looking for radioapple art and immediately get hit with big buff Alastor and tiny shorter than in canon Lucifer, Lucifer in a dress getting fucked by Alastor, Lucifer in a dress getting fucked by big buff Alastor, Lucifer who look like 5 yo and 'suave sugar daddy' Alastor who holds him and each with thousands of likes and absolutely zero of anything else than that

Me : nope 🙃😔

Save me Vox/Al artists, save me

Man, I love Vox/Alastor art so much.

I just love the Vox/Alastor ship as a whole, be it one-sided, mutual, or anything in between, and a lot of it stems from Alastor still feeling like he's Alastor.

I mean, I think people make Alastor a little more cruel and heartless towards Vox sometimes, but overall he still feels like himself. He gets to be dangerous and manipulative and he gets to be silly and whimsical. It's perfect.

Adding a cut right here because this post got WAY longer than I anticipated ⬇️

I think with RadioApple, when it comes to Alastor, people lean too much into this:

And not enough into this:

It feels like his fun, sassy, and whimsical side gets stripped away and he's turned into a stereotypically tall, dark and menacing love interest.

Where's his flamboyancy? His razzamatazz! As Susan would say, "Where's the showmanship? Where's the pizzaz? Fucking mediocre."

If I'm reading a fic or looking at art and I can't imagine their Alastor doing one of his girly-pop wrist flicks -

- then I can't keep going. His girly-pop vibes are too important to me.

Of course, when it comes to tone in both fics and art, sometimes fun and whimsical aren't what the artist is going for. But even outside of NSFW art and stories, so often Alastor just feels...bland. He feels too stiff. Too much like a suave, old fashioned, smooth talking gentleman, and not enough like a fun, silly, and sassy little freak who loves trolling people.

And with Lucifer if feels like they lean too much into this:

And not enough of this:

I feel like any, if not all, of Lucifer's flaws are brushed aside so often and so easily.

He feels softened and watered down. Like he's either a sad & awkward UwU boi all the time, or he's the most flamboyant, seductive little minx there is. And to be fair, he is both a very sad boi and a seductive little minx.

But rarely does he ever come across as powerful to me. A lot of the time he feels too normal. Or too sad and naive. Literally, like he could be any other sinner if I didn't already know he was the kind of Hell. And that's so funny to me because we've seen him openly and extravagantly display his powers multiple times in the show--not to the extent that he did in the finale--but he was definitely flaunting all the things he could do, make, or summon for Charlie during his musical-battle with Alastor. He was 100% showing off how powerful he is.

Not only that, but, honestly, Lucifer feels too open and sincere because that man is judgmental as fuck.

Going back to the "Dad Beat Dad" episode, there are multiple examples of him being a self-righteous little shit: 1) he was incredibly critical of Charlie's hotel the moment he stepped inside, even if he tried, and failed, to cover it, 2) he didn't even try to hide his disgust for Alastor's bar, which he didn't even know was incorporated by Alastor (who he hadn't even met him yet) and could've been incorporated by Charlie or Vaggie, for all he knew, 3) he wasn't taking Charlie's hotel or her plan for redemption seriously from the start, he didn't even have his mind open to the possibility, he wasn't there to hear about her plans he was only there to see her, and 3) when the hotel was attacked by the loan sharks, instead of making them go away or preventing the hotel from being damaged - which he could have very easily done with no amount of effort - he hung back and smugly reiterated that he was right and sinners can't be redeemed and Charlie should just give up on her goals/dreams because it's just not possible so there's no point in trying.

Like, Charlie was very clearly in distress over her hotel being attacked and destroyed, but he was too busy boasting about how he'd been "proven" right to see that.

He's very easy to anger and his ego is so easily bruised. Alastor got under his skin immediately and effortlessly - though I also believe that's on part that Lucifer doesn't have a high opinions of sinners anyway - and Lucifer 100% escalated the conversation/argument he had with Alastor during their first meeting.

See the whole scene of him referring to Alastor as a "has-been" and insulting the name he'd given the hotel, especially when you take into consideration that until Alastor said that he named the hotel, Lucifer thought it was Charlie who came up with it.

And I'm not going to say that Alastor was an innocent, picked on little baby in that scene, he was 100% riling up Lucifer from the start, but also, like...Alastor's lines weren't outright antagonist like Lucifer's were. They were more subtle, slightly needling and passive aggressive, but nothing that could really be taken as a insult.

This is literally the dialogue, word for word, of their very first interaction:

Lucifer: What in the unholy Hell is that?!

Alastor: Just some of the renovations we had done. Adds a bit if color, don't you think?

Lucifer: And you are?

Alastor: Alastor, pleasure to be meeting you, Sir, quite a pleasure. It's nice to finally put a face to the name. You are much shorter in real life.

Lucifer: Who is this? Who is this now - are you the bellhop?

Alastor: Ah-ha, no! I am the host of the hotel. You might've heard of me from my radio broadcast.

Lucifer: Hmm, nope! I guess that's why Charlie called it the "has-been" hotel, hahaha!"

Alastor: Ha ha ha, it was actually my idea.

Lucifer: Ha ha, well it's not very clever.

Alastor: Ha ha, fuck you.

Like. That's their first interaction. And if you go back and actually pay attention to facial expressions and body languages, this was the first time he's seen Alastor, and Lucifer was immediately disdainful.

I went back and screenshotted Lucifer's face, right after Alastor's first line (which was a relatively innocent in and of itself and didn't even sound that antagonist), and:

That's a lot of disesteem for someone he literally just met. At most, you could argue that it was Alastor's smirk or tone that set him off ⬇️:

But even that is such a small thing to get upset over.

I'd say the only time Alastor really started getting openly hostile towards Lucifer was when he wiped his hand after shaking Lucifer's cane (which Lucifer didn't even see as he was too busy fixing his hat) and commenting on Lucifer's height (as a shortie myself, can confirm, that'll get on the nerves very fast).

My point is, Lucifer was immediately unfriendly towards Alastor and escalated the situation just as quickly, if not quicker, than Alastor did. Alastor implied that Lucifer might know of his radio broadcast, and Lucifer jumped right to calling him a "has-been." He doesn't even know him. This is their very first meeting. He was judgy and dismissive of Alastor at first sight, and, let's be honest, he kind of threw the first punch with that "has-been" line. Alastor said Lucifer was shorter than expected, but it's not like he laughed, pointed at him and called him a undercooked little chicken nugget. I'm sure a lot of demons/sinners who've never seen Lucifer would also assume he would be taller and more menacing at first glance, and I doubt this is the first time someone was surprised with his height (still not cool, Alastor. We vertically challenged folk have feelings too).

But Lucifer was prejudice from the start and antagonized Alastor just as quickly, and way more openly, than Alastor did to him. And don't get me wrong, this isn't me saying that's a bad thing on Lucifer's part! This isn't me criticizing or scorning him for it. I think it speaks so much of him as a character!

Cause we've seen the soft and tender moments he has with Charlie. We know how much he loves and cares for her. But he's also egotistical, antagonistic, and judgmental as hell, and that's what makes him such a fun character to write about. He's awkward yet showy, smug yet caring, depressed yet prideful. And by god, this man will show off his power without hesitation. He knows he's hot shit. He knows he's the strongest person in all of Hell. He knows he's the top dog and he can do whatever he wants - even if he has no love or interest in interacting within the Pride Ring (as far as we've been shown).

He's got a lot of multi-facets to him and I adore it, and that's why I get so annoyed when all of that is stripped away and he's turned into this soft little sunshine UwU boi who's just a sad, sweet lil lamb who's done no wrong.

No! He has done many wrongs! There's a reason he and Charlie were estranged and I don't think it was Lilith's fault - or, at least, I don't think it was all her fault (I have many thoughts about Lucifer and Lilith's divorce, okay)

I didn't mean for this to turn into a full-blown character analysist post LOL but alas I tend to get carried away. This was all to say, I really enjoy RadioStatic because Alastor typically gets to keep his sadistic and whimsical side, and I appreciate that. His silliness means a lot a to me, and if he comes off as too stiff or formal, it takes me out of a story.

Lucifer's flaws and sheer power also mean a lot to me, and I wish there were more fics and fan-art that showed that. If Lucifer reads too much like a normal, every-day person, I lose interest. I like the idea of people getting used to him, and getting comfortable around his presence, only to get a sudden and overwhelming reminder that he is, in fact, an ancient and immortal being with immense power that their brains wouldn't even be able to comprehend.

I have so many headcanons about Lucifer as a fallen angel and how his habits and lifestyle developed over the thousands upon thousands of years he's been in Hell. Habits he's adopted that unconsciously help him duplicate the mannerisms and behavior of sinners and demons, but also those small, indistinct tells that are quick and subtle reminder that he could destroy everyone in Pentagram City with ease if he decided to; and also, those times if you were to look closely and really pay attention, you get the faint, unsettling feeling that there is something very un-human about him. A subtle, unnerving shiver down your spine as your instincts yell at you that this person is not a person at all, he's just passing off as one.

That shit gets me. Give me ancient, eldritch Lucifer and I'll love you forever.

I am sorry Anon, I did not mean for this response to get so big 😅 You gave me a paragraph and I gave you a novel. But yeah, save me RadioStatic artists, save me 🙏 I rarely have to worry about Alastor turning into a big, buff alpha man or a soft little UwU when he's with Vox, and I appreciate that.

Edit: Adding a screenshot of my tags here because apparently I wrote down too many and it cut off the character tags.

Eastern Energy - A Radioapple Story

Tags: Angst without a happy ending, maybe pt 2 if people want it, radioapple

Context:

Alastor and Lucifer have been living at the hotel for some time. After a few late-night drinks, some trust exercises, and Lucifer healing Alastor’s wound, the two grew close. How close is up to you.

One day, on his way to Rosie’s with Charlie and Vaggie, they get a call.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

“You’ll love Rosie!” Charlie assured her girlfriend, squeezing her shoulder lightly.

“Her cornbread recipe is to die for!” Alastor hummed. “Several have.”

Vaggie rolled her eye but continued walking. When they were about halfway to Rosie’s Charlie got a call.

“Oh, it’s Angel. What’s up?” She answered. Her face suddenly turned white. “What?”

“Chalie?” Vaggie asked. 

Charlie said nothing, just put Angel on speaker.

“CHARLIE? Can you hear me??” Angel's voice was frantic. “I promise I am not joking! Your dad needs your help!!”

“Wait what?” Alastor asked. 

What could he possibly need help with? Fixing his height? A stepstool could do that.

“We can hear you, Angel. What happened?” Vaggie prodded. 

“Adam barged into the hotel, wrapped Lucifer in some kind of glowy rope, and took off flying away with Lucifer! We couldn’t do anything because Adam took us by surprise!”

“Hold on Angel, we’re getting a call from Lucifer,” Alastor told the spider. 

Probably telling us that he took care of it and there is nothing to worry about.

“Okay,” Angel ended the call and Vaggie answered Lucifer’s call.

“Hey bitch.” Alastor’s heart dropped. He’d know that voice anywhere. It was hash and brash, not at all like Lucifer’s soothing melodic tone.

“Adam,” Vaggie growled. “What the fuck do you want?”

“I thought I should brag about kidnapping the king of hell!” Adam bosted. “It was fucking easy too.”

“Why are you doing this?” Charlie demanded. 

“If Lucifer is gone, then they’ll have to let me back into heaven!”

“Dios Mijos, Adam. You do know that your plan to get back into Heaven includes sinning? Killing is a sin!” Vaggie yells into the phone

“Sorry, Can’t hear you bitch, byeee!” 

The call ended suddenly.

“FUCK!!” Charlie yelled as she punched a hole into the nearest wall, denting it.

“Charlie dear,” Alastor puts a hand on her shoulder. “Maybe instead of denting walls, you go help your dad take down Adam. Your father could certainly use the help.”

Not really, Lucifer can take care of himself. But I do want Charlie to feel like she can do something, rather than sitting around worrying.

“You and your father both outrank Adam in power, so it should be easy,” Alastor says.

“And I could go with you if you need backup.”

“Okay. Let’s go.”

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

“Oh shit,” Lucifer said. 

I need to get out of here before someone comes and puts themself in danger because of me.

“You’re fucking right ‘Oh shit,” Adam smirked. 

“No I just realized I didn’t eat breakfast. Did you think I was scared of you?” Lucifer smirked. “An insect could do a better job of kidnapping me.

“You should be. Because with you finally fucking gone, I’ll be heaven’s savior. They’ll have to let me in after.”

“You do know that in the VERY unlikely case, you do manage to kill me, Charlie will take over hell as queen and will take revenge,” Lucifer says as Adam hoists him into a mine cart. “Also, trying to kill me in a mine, and they call me tacky.”

“One more word and I’ll gag you.” Adam threatened, then muttered under his breath, “Angels are heavy.”

“Hmmm. Kinky.”

“Shut the fuck up cunt.” Adam growled as he tied Lucifer to a rock. “You seem to love ruining my life, so when I take yours, I think I’ll have a little fun with it.”

“Are you sure this isn’t a kink of yours? I won’t judge if so. It must be hard to find someone to fuck when all you want to do is suck your own dick.”

“YOU! Don’t get to fucking talk! You are the shitiest being in all of creation and you took fucking everything from me!” Adam yelled into Lucifer’s ear. “And because of that, you won’t be mercy-killed. No, I’ll take my sweet fucking time.”

“Are you sure that this isn’t some hidden kink of yours? You seem to love killing so much-AH!” Lucifer suddenly yelled in pain, as the first man sunk an angelic dagger deep into Lucifer’s shoulder.

Adam twisted the blade in Lucifer’s shoulder, which made a hissing sound. 

“You. Do not get to fucking talk over me.” Adam growled, lowering his head to whisper in Lucifer’s ear. “You should’ve been killed in your fall.” The first man grabbed Lucifer’s hair and Lucifer let out a snake-like hiss. “You even sound like what you are. A fucking snake.”

“I’ve been called worse by demons I like better than you.”

“This about that pesky overlord. Or your daughter? Both hated you at some point, and they will again.”

Lucifer, at the mention of Charlie and Alastor, tried to make his demon form come out, but the holy rope wouldn’t let him. He could only muster his tail. Seeing this weak display of power, Adam laughed and took the opportunity to stomp hard on his tail. Lucifer let out a bleat of pain, quickly followed by a defiant hiss when Adam brought the holy knife to his throat.

“Torture doesn’t seem your style, Adam. What makes little ol’ me so special?” Lucifer grunted.

“You took my wives, Eden, my son.” 

“How did I take your s-AH!” He cried out when Adam took the blade out, only to punch Lucifer in the face, and then stab him in the shoulder again, going all the way through it.

“Since you took my family, I’ll take yours.” Adam cruely laughed. “I think I’ll take Charlie, then-ah-fuck!” Lucifer used the last of his strength to push Adam back with his hind goat legs.

“I swear,” Lucifer threatened, trying to stand up, but failing. “If you go near her I will destroy you.”

“O-ho! Big talk from someone who can’t even stand up! Much less get out of here!” Adam laughed, walking over to Lucifer. He grabbed him by the ropes and threw him against the rocks. The King of Hell let out a pained sound, somewhere between a bleat and a hiss.”This has been fun, but I have to grace heaven with my presence. Any last words, Sin of Pride?”

“Charlie…I…Alastor…” Lucifer gasped out. He barely had enough strength to stay awake, much less call out for help.

“Your cunts ain’t coming.” Adam laughed as he stood over him to make the final blow.

I love you, Charlie, more than anything. Was his final thought before everything went dark.

-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

Alastor had gotten a mental message from Charlie, telling him to meet them at the Sloth Hospital. He figured that Charlie or Vaggie had gotten hurt in the battle and needed to be patched up. When a car pulled up and Charlie and Vaggie were mostly unharmed, his heart sank.

“Where is Lu -oof!!” He was suddenly run over by a bunch of medical staff. Alastor looked up for just a second, he saw something that terrified him. Lucifer’s limp tail hanging off a hospital bed over him.

Lucifer’s tail is only out in his demon form, or when he’s somewhat weak and can’t hide it. Alastor remembered. He got up quickly, dusting himself off in the process.

“Alastor? Are you okay?” Charlie asked, her eyes bloodshot and dried tears on her cheeks.

“I am fine me dear. What was that about?” 

“Lucifer got hurt bad,” Vaggie says.

“Lucifer got what? H-how?” Alastor looked at the door, which was flooded with reporters. “He can get hurt?”

A/N: Please don't kill me-

I’m late I know

To everyone who puts up fanfic only for it to not get a lot of likes.

IMAGINE THIS: You are sitting somewhere public, writing your story. Someone random walks up to you, asks to read what you are writing, they read it, then they say they like it.

Imagine that feeling every time you put a new chapter up, only for it to get 3 likes. JUST IMAGINE 3 RANDOM PEOPLE TELLING YOU THAT THEY LIKE YOUR STORY!

People have so much pressure to go viral, or to make something and for it to get MILLIONS of likes.

But most people don't get that. The majority of the population will never get that. And that's a cold hard fact.

But hang onto the feeling I mentioned earlier. Every time you get a new like, you brighten up someone's day with your writing. Your work was so amazing that someone took the time to read it, keep reading it, and tell you that they liked it.

My point is, (I know, this was very long lol) every like or comment counts, no matter how many or how little you get.

Oh. My. God.

@morningstarwrites @dirtgrubber @notherpuppet @softcocoa @razzlematazz @goldsnek

Sorry if this is annoying to the people I tagged! But I just want them to be safe!!!!

ATTENTION EVERYONE

ON THE 25TH A GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE PLANNING TO SEND GORE OF CHILDREN AND ANIMALS TO FANDOM BLOGS, ESPECIALLY RP BLOGS AND ESPECIALLY MOUTHWASHING FANDOM BLOGS!

IT IS SUGGESTED THAT ALL FANDOM BLOGS, ESPECIALLY RP ONES TURN OFF ASKS FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL IT PASSES!!

PLEASE BE SAFE, I'M SURE NO BODY WANTS TO WAKE UP CHRISTMAS MORNING TO GORE IN THERE INBOX

MERRY SINSMAS EVERYONE!!

First time drawing the gang. I’m really happy with how it turned out!!!

Well… I tried.

So I was researching Lucifer and Sera’s relationship because I think that would be really interesting and I can’t see how it’s flushed out in Hazbin hotel. When I realized most of the fanfiction I’ve read has Lucifer either as a Seraphim or an Archangel, which be question which one is it? I wanted to post about this because I wanted some clarification and I’m sure other people did too. Lucifer is a Seraphim not and our angel in the has been hotel universe. Seraphim have six wings while archangels have two. And in the Bible, which I’ve never read I just looked this up, archangels are below Seraphim. In the Bible Lucifer is an Archangel, but in the Hazbin hotel universe he is a Seraphim. Just thought I should clear this up.

As a Radioapple fan, what I hope for in Hazbin hotel, is not that it will become canon (though that would be AMAZING!). No. I wish for a scene between Alastor and Lucifer like the Honda Odyssey scene from Deadpool and Wolverine.

Lucifer moves into the Hazbin Hotel

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven’t made an actual upload here in a long time (that’s not just reblogging other ppl’s posts) I will definitely do this again

Normally I only upload to my TikTok or yt buuut this seems like a video tumblr would like so I’ll post it here too I guess

I was randomly reminded of this video and realized this fit Lucifer perfectly so I of course had to make this immediately

Yes… in case you’re wondering he’s texting Alastor… why? It’s implied Lucifer might be moving into the hotel and be a part of the main cast next season (which I’m hoping for)

This isn’t necessarily a radioapple post but you can choose to interpret this how you wish

I personally just like to see them argue with each other cuz it’s hilarious. I hope to see more of that next season lol

Here’s the og video in case you want to see it!

That’s it hope you enjoy!

Picture This…

I am hoping for Alastor and Lucifer’s relationship in season two, or later on, to become like Jake and Holt’s relationship from Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Alastor would be Holt and Lucifer would be Jake. Like, they annoy each other to no end, but they still endear and like each other. I can’t be the only one who’s hoping for this. I’m bringing up because I’m re-watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine and I’m currently on season one episode 10 a.k.a., Thanksgiving.

There was one scene in particular that made me think this.

Tiny bit of context for the episode: Amy is hosting a Thanksgiving party for the 99 crew. Jake doesn’t want to go because he hates thanksgiving. They get pulled away because of a case. Jake comes up with funny names/personas for him and Holt (who goes with him) while they go door to door looking for their culprit.

Jake: Yes! The case continues!

Holt: This is not good.

Jake: Right, sorry Jimes. *Looks to the other people.* His father was murdered by a bookie. *Looks back to Holt.* I know you miss him.

Holt: *Pinches bridge of nose in annoyance.*
