social experiment (part 2)

(VOTE ON THE HUSK POLL TOO, THAT IS PART 1)

just vote HONESTLY what you think.

PLEASE DO NOT BRING UP SHIPPING DISCOURSE TO THIS, this is about alastor's CANONICAL identity not what you're allowed or not allowed to ship.

THIS IS NOT A STANDALONE POLL, if you vote on this one vote on husk's one too, they're meant to go together

I consider Alastor to be asexual AND aromantic! Here are some reasons why:

HAZBIN HOTEL Cleanup Pt. 5 Ft. Edward Bosco (Alastor), Michael Kovach (Angel Dust), and Vivziepop

Here’s a Reddit post (written pre-series) addressing this: Alastor is an Aromantic Asexual and That's Okay

oh is THIS where all the talk about "I don't want to ruin shippers' fun" comes from? oh she actually said that.

I wasn't going to reblog stuff like this for this poll cause I didn't want to sway the results more than I needed to but this is actually the first time I'm getting that first source, thanks for that

I agree with what you’re saying in the tags.

She got everything to gain and nothing to lose by confirming Alastor’s aromantism in the series.

ok but wouldn’t it be so cool if season two actually explored Alastors asexuality? Outside of one little comment? Like don’t get me wrong I love the ace deer man but I feel like the way we’re eating up that one crumb goes to show how little rep we actually get. And I get that everything we get about him in s1 is basically crumbs. He’s SUPPOSED to be mysterious. But I can’t help but worry that his identity is going to be ignored altogether within the story. And there are SUCH cool stories that can be told about this specific part of him. How did his relationship with Vox fall apart? Vox basically stalks him. Does that freak him out at all? Will it scare him in the future? When did Valentino come into the picture? Did that affect their friendship? How did Alastor survive hells hyper sexual environment when he first arrived?

And there ARE issues with the other queer rep in the show, but we have seen both Charlie and angel face homophobia in hell, and we have seen all sorts of sexual and romantic relationships. Ace and aro rep is a bit different, because it’s difficult to tell those kinds of stories without acknowledging the struggles that aspec people face. Very much how early gay rep focused a lot on prejudice. I understand why people just want a goofy silly aspec character who is accepted and just being themselves. I get that. But within the context of Hazbin, having good aspec rep just means acknowledging the struggles that come with it. And there’s so much you can do with that story wise, but I worry that the team will shy away from it as to not piss off the shippers.

YES to all of this!
