The idea that Alastor may have acted altruistically frightens him and that's honestly so funny.

At first, I was all, "Whoa, what happened to my audio?". Then I was all, "Oh, right, Alastor. Well played.

Alastor's non verbal communication isn't with his face, it's in his eyes. His body language is very minimal, most of the time- but the two things he struggles to keep under control are his eyes and ears.

I think when alaster says "alaster altruist died for his friends" in the song, he is afraid that if he had died, that would be how he was remembered and that scares him, because he wouldn't be remembered as some fear enducing force that he wants to be

Alastor managed to pull off the ace-version of the “hello Sir, your daughter calls me Daddy too” meme and if that’s not brilliant levels of magnificent bastardry I dunno what is

Alistor's eyes do a lot of talking. He can't really hold those back like he does with his smile.

Alastor was confirmed to genuinely love his mother and was a mama’s boy, so he can guaranteed fully care for some people. So the question really is what is an act, what is genuine. I would definitely say his friendship with Rosie is genuine though.

I love Alastor, and how he is a depiction of how nuanced people can. He seemingly is actually fond of the hotel staff and other residents, but does still have an ulterior motive he's sticking to

The fact that of all people to get Alastor to swear was LUCIFER and he did it to HIS FACE is honestly iconic on both ends.

I also think how Alastair talks to Rosie is very revealing. They do seem like genuine friends, Rosie is similarly very gild. But she immediately offers him something, “the eight blocks of territory with not enough goons to run it.” So she already knows Alastor is very transactional. Rosie seems very intelligent and very skilled in social engineering like Alastor. She is able to Control the residence of cannibal town, through showmanship and her personality.

I loved the artistic choice that when he "lets the mask slip" his face actually stops moving, as if it is a literal mask.

16:14, A bit late, but here's a little detail that I'd like to point out. During Alastor's first meeting with Zestial, Zestial comments on the rumors about Alastor's disappearance to which Alastor laughs it off stating he was just taking a "well earned sabbatical" but throughout that talk he's avoiding eye contact and at one point he shifts his gaze back and forth nervously when not in Zestial's line of sight. Makes me wonder what exactly made him go into hiding...

Love the outfit and the radio effect. Your commitment to wear the characters clothes not just for this but all the videos is really huge on the viewing experience.

i think him choosing to fight adam was more of an ego thing. adam thinks he’s better than alastor, and alastor is angered by this, so he tries to assert himself as superior through fighting him and fails. this is part of why he is so enraged during his little mental breakdown

I love that you noticed how Alastor reacts most anxiously once Zestial greets & stops him to talk. He keeps the smile but you can tell that in his eyes he’s slightly distress ; probably due to him not thinking his worst case scenario today was an encounter with Zestial, who ironically seems more aware of Alastor’s ulterior motives by intuition. His (Zestial’s) speech pattern can also indicate he’s probably from a very old time where english wasnt in its modern form let alone close to Alastor’s form of english hence why Alastor dreads Zestial in terms of confrontation because Zestial himself is probably THE oldest overlord besides probably Carmilla given the friendly disposition & Carmilla being able to summon the other overlords to a meeting

24:19 I love how when Alastor’s mic breaks she removes the radio filter from her voice

It’s interesting that when the loan sharks attack the hotel he says ‘it’s time to remind everyone why I’m here’. In this moment he inadvertently reveals that he’s there to protect the hotel and the whole thing he said about wanting to stay at the hotel just to watch people fail at bettering themselves was an outright lie. He does enjoy watching people suffer but that’s not why he’s there. Also, according to the creator, Alastor is extremely fond of Niffty. She is one of the only people that has managed to ‘charm’ him. In the conversation he has with her, he’s being completely genuine.

Alastor’s belief is that smiling is the ultimate show of strength and if you’re always smiling you never show any weakness

I LOVE how you present and explain ASPD in this video!! I love how you made it clear that it is a DISORDER, like autism or ADHD or OCD. THEYRE not inherently evil, and I hate that most people think that…

Another reason why I love Alastor as a character is because he’s always smiling the emotions and expressions have to be shown in different ways even when he’s having mental breakdown he’s still has to smile

Alastor is definitely one of the best written characters in this show.

I don't think Alastor thought he could win the battle with adam. He did not bring an angelic weapon which he knew he would've needed to win. I think he knew he would lose but did not think he would lose so badly.

“Just because you see a smile, don’t think you know what’s going on underneath. . A smile is a valuable tool my dear. It inspires your friends, keeps your enemies guessing, and ensures that no matter what comes your way, you’re the one in control.” ~Alastor This quote is so powerful for those who have been subjected to feeling powerless.

I love that this time not only you gave a therapist analysis but also gave a plot theory haha. Love it. Also I might add that other reason of why he needed to be in the middle of the battle could be also manipulation. He needed the others to see him being part, getting involved, showing he cared so he could later get advantage of then lowering their reservations about him being evil

19:40 as sun tzu said "appear weak when you are strong and strong when you are weak" alastor knows this and he lives by it

THE RADIO VOICE EFFECT YES

I think one thing that's heavily overlooked here is that it's more than likely that any amicability on his part is simply a means of either coping with the requirements of his deal and/or maintaining a some degree of status quo in order to have control. It feels fairly obvious that his deal is related to keeping Charlie safe, so that control wouldn't necessarily have to be for the sake of feeding his ego but instead to ensure success. He can't have things going in a direction that would cause him to fail. Look at what happened with Mimzy. She and Husk made it clear they had many dealing with her shenanigans in the past, however this time Alastor found it to be extremely unacceptable. Even though he resolved her situation handily, the fact that she brought danger to the hotel (and would likely continue to do so) upset him greatly. On the whole, I believe he would behave quite differently were he not being held to a deal. I believe his true nature is simply pure evil. That being said, it IS interesting when he shows those moments that suggest he might actually be warming up to Charlie, if even a little. I think this could create some fun tension later by putting him on a path that could lead to cognitive dissonance; where his evil nature conflicts with the fact that he's actually taken a liking to Charlie. On a side note-- I think it's kind of interesting how Alastor had never cursed until he met Lucifer. I think the interaction between the two of them and the possible implications could warrant its own video. Alastor was visually upset from the moment Lucifer walked in the door. Why? It's not because Lucifer is more powerful as he had no trouble showing Zestial respect. Is it because Lucifer's presence could compromise his deal? Is it because he's genuinely taken a liking to Charlie and is upset at Lucifer's absence in her life? If it weren't for the sneer in the doorway, I would almost think that maybe Alastor was goading Lucifer in order to manipulate him into wanting to be more active in Charlie's life. The only reason I say that is because of the heartwarming smile he had towards the middle of "More than Anything." If he didn't want Lucifer around, why would he smile like that as father and daughter re-established their bond? Honestly, Alastor might just be the most complex character of anyone in the cast right now.

One thing that I think is interesting is that in his verse of the final song, talking to nobody but himself, Alastor refers to the Hotel Crew as his friends. I think that he is starting to develop genuine attachment to the group, and I think he’s scared of that because it interferes with his aloof, manipulative, removed idea that he strives for. That emotional attachment makes him weaker, and being weak makes him very uncomfortable.

Alastor's need for attention is certainly interesting too. He wants to be asked about his 7 year absence, but he never gives a proper answer (or maybe he can't?), and when people actually downplay that sort of allure, it miffles him. One of my favourite scenes is when he puts one the show of "Oh, I'm sure you've all been wondering" at the Overlord meeting, yet when Carmilla flat out states that they don't care, he winces in pain before sending daggers through his eyes.

I think it was important to talk about Mimzy. He knows her from back when they were alive and they seem to have some kind of friendship. Alastor forgives a higher level of "disrespect" from her than any other character in the show, and even when he knows she mainly goes to see him when needs to use him to get rid of some kind of danger, he is okay with that, and looks genuinely happy to see her. Even when Alastor has to say her to stay away from the hotel to not affect its integrity, there is a certain "I don't want to do this" demeanor.

Alastor turns to Lilith in the picture 26:44 and squints his eyes. If he wasn't smiling, this could have been a glare of a different type. Maybe even one of anger.

i think him being in the battle when he doesn't have to be points more towards impulsive thrill-seeking, meaning he might be closer to a psychopath than a sociopath (yes i know, same diagnosis in the dsm 5)

The thing that makes Alastor scary for me isn't just his sociopathic tendencies. Exactly the opposite actually It's the moments he doesn't look like a monster. In "more than anything" and while giving his microphone to Charlie he looks at her, like a proud father. And when talking to Nifty, he shows sentimentalism towards the people around him. Not what was expected. It really makes you confused

I think it could be interesting to explore Alastor's curious relationship with women VS his relationship with men. Besides Vaggie (who he mostly just eggs on because it funny), he seems to have decent-to -genuine relationships with all the women in his life. Mimzy is an old friend from his lifetime that he has a lot of patience for. He seems incredibly close with Rosie, and it feels like she knows him better than Mimzy, maybe even better than himself. He thinks of Nifty fondly, nearly like a daughter or some sort of strange adorable pet (but different to how he treats Husk like a "pet", because with Husk it comes across as him just trying to demean him). And then with Charlie, while we have no clue how he really feels about her, we know he's trying to fabricate this mentor role in her life. Meanwhile with all the men he has either zero respect for (Pentious, Angel), takes joy in humiliating or hurting (Husk), or is actively antagonistic and starting fights even if it isn't smart of him (Vox, Lucifer). I think it says a lot about who Alastor is and how he operates. Whether it being some sort of man-hating disposition, being raised a "gentlemen" by his mother in a specific time period, or some other reason/mix of both.

A thing someone commented on about him in another video that I think fits well here is Alastor has a ton of power even with the strings attached, but doesn’t seem to use force unless provoked. He’s strong enough to get by with brute force and can almost effortlessly defeat Sir Pentious, the loan sharks Mimzy was hiding from, and held up quite well for a while against Adam. Most situations in Hell can be averted with his raw power alone, but he chooses manipulation and toying with people for his own pleasure. He just enjoys the process, and while the broadcast argument between Vox and Alastor did seem to tick him off, he kept his composure in his voice while Vox short circuited. He’s just doing whatever he wants and takes as long as he wants to screw around with people until there’s nothing left, and then he can finally finish them and toss them out like a broken toy.

I'm currently going through negotiation training, and a lot of these "manipulative" techniques are most definitely used when making deals. It's interesting how utilising these tactics can be interpreted differently under certain circumstances.

I enjoyed Alastor‘s unclear characterization as antagonist up until the point where he crawls back into his destroyed radio tower and sings about his fears and restrained powers. That scene hit me unexpectedly. I firmly believe, that his anti-social behavior is not something he was born with, but something he acquired through traumatic experience in his life. The man is not masking because of his choice to manipulate people, but because of the inner need to always be in control, which is only possible if one is always one step ahead of anyone else, because everyone else is a potential threat.

I think the scene I find most impactful is with the song "Ready For This." It has been stated by Viv that Alastor's mic is an extension of himself, and from the scene with Adam, it appears to also be a concentration of his power. Him handing Charlie the microphone definitely shows a level of trust. You also do not see Alastor's smile reach his eyes in most scenes, however when he is with Rose, you can see that smile reach his eyes. He definitely cares deeply for Rosie and I think he is starting to care for Charlie and the gang as well.

The fact that psychopathy in essence is “being a self centered jerk” after decades of horror flicks is so damn disappointing 😂

I took a psychology class and my teacher said that associating ASPD with the word psychopathy is very derogatory toward people with that condition since "psychopathy" is a generalization for people with both schizophrenia and ASPD...

I do believe that the only time we've seen Alastor display some support for Charlie was when he told Mimzy to leave the hotel. Of course it could just be part of his plan, but it was a suprising yet interesting scene that might mean he might have grown a little.

22:51 a certain amount yes, Alastor loved and respected his mother. He has a soft spot for the defenseless and innocent…all though he’d probably refer to them as pathetic if pushed. Vaggie is literally the only woman he’s ever seen to be hostile with and that’s easy to understand why, she’s militaristic,blunt, quick to challenge him. A deer man who accidentally got taken out by a hunter might be instinctively on edge with a being who’s original purpose was to hunted down and exterminate souls.

Your giggle after "my ears itch" was so cute. I'm really enjoying the breakdown of these characters!

He's such an interesting character, and all the little emotions and details they use to show his personality with and without the mask are so well done. Im so curious to see if on the way to breaking his "leash" he will find redemption somehow, or be an antagonist that honestly he has always come off as deep down

Something worth noting is that Alastor is capable of both feeling and expressing genuine affection for people in a normal and open manner. When Mimzy arrives in episode five there is a very clear difference between how he treats her vs. how he treats Charlie in the same episode. With Charlie it's a collection of "look what I did" statements and bare minimum, almost stereo(hah)typical things like headpats and "we're all very proud". But then when he interacts with Mimzy, without any outside prompting, he doesn't hesitate to immediately give her a hug, reminisce about her, give her compliments, etc. Mimzy is also one of the only people alongside Rosie and possibly Nifty where he doesn't feel the need to manipulate or threaten them to get them to comply with his wishes.

Alastor is the true manifestation of that one senior quote floating about on the internet. "It's not enough that I should succeed. Others must fail"

Valentino: breaths Fandom: "PEACE WAS NEVER AN OPTION!"

I love the filter you used on your voice, it makes it so much sound like a real early 1920 broadcast/infomercial on the tv/radio

I think Alastors thing with Lucifer is also that he feels intimidated by Lucifer being just that much more powerful than himself and he doesn't like that. That's why he is instantly confrontational with Lucifer and tries to assert himself. This power imbalance might have also reminded him of the one he is bound to, adding insult to injury.

There's actually this really interesting comic that the Hazbin crew/Vivzie made after the pilot came out called "A Day in the Afterlife," about a day in Alastors life. In it, towards the end of the comic, he actually saves a little sheep demon from being killed by a much more imposing demon, because, according to him, he hates people "...who can't show respect to those of fairer means," and apparently finds their actions "distasteful." I don't know what this means for his character, but apparently he does draw lines somewhere when it comes to killing. It's especially interesting since he gained literally nothing from saving the sheep, so idk why he wouldve done it outside of his own personal beliefs. Idk if it's still canon, of course, but it does raise some interesting questions regarding his morals if it is!

I've been loving these videos a lot!! I would really love to see one on Vaggie, as the way she views herself so lowly and is so overprotective and possessive of Charlie really reads to me as someone borderline personality disorder!!

When adam snapped Alastor's staff in half. The reason he lost his radio voice is because he was shocked that his stick got broken, but right before he disappears to heal he has his voice back while his cane is broken. Which means he has full control over his voice and intentionally does the radio effect.(even though he doesn't have to)

One of the things I love about Alastor is you never truly know what hes feeling except for his little breakdown song and in very rare moments. One of Alastor's ticks that I've noticed is often times his eyes and the way he smiles betrays his true emotions. When Alastor is annoyed his eye twitches, when he's scared or loosing control we see his eyes darting around frantically like a wounded beast, and when he has more genuine feelings of happiness or being proud his smile doesn't show his teeth and his eye lids kind of drop. One example of this is during Charlie's duet with Lucifer when Alastor is seen smiling it doesn't look like his usual teeth bared smile. He looks genuinely proud to an extent of Charlie and one of the reasons I think so is Alastor is a momma's boy(this was confirmed by Vivzie back during the pilot) so he understands what parental love feels and looks like. Could also explain why he gets so mad at Lucifer to begin with not only does Lucifer far outrank Alastor in hell's hierarchy, but Lucifer essentially left his daughter out to dry for a long time(I know he had depression but Alastor probably didn't know that). Alastor was glaring at him the moment he opened the door. Just my take on it, but I think hes a very complex character so trying to find anything that makes him tick is a treat

I'd love to see you make a video talking about Lucifer soon who likely had more going on than just depression.

I'm stuck between either wanting to see him be one of the last ones who gets genuinely redeemed by the end of the story, or he pulls an obvious heel turn and finds out too late that what he got for all that wasn't really what he wanted. Y'know, in one of those "Are you happy now?/... No." things.

some background lore on Alastor when he was alive: - He was a radio show host in the early 1900's probably around the 1930's - He murdered another person and attempted to bury the body in the woods, where he was shot by a hunter who mistook him for a deer + extra stuff, your appearance in hell is based on how you died, which is why Alastor looks like a deer, he also occasionally makes the call of the Wendigo, a deer-like creature, and you can sometimes see a red "x" on his forehead which represents where he was shot.

I have Alastor pegged with traits from all four of the Dark Tetrad diagnoses. Specifically Psychopathy, Sadism, Machiavellianism. and Narcissism. And then add into the mix the fact that someone has a hold on his soul and is compelling him to be of service for others. I think Lilith made a deal to empower Alsator in exchange for his soul and that he used his power to cull the more predatory Overlords that were thwarting Lilith's attempt to bring the people together. So he is not able to act out his more destructive nature against innocent and caring people. And its driving him mad. And the only of his traits he is able to play with is his Machiavellian nature. He manipulates people into hurting themselves. This is why he is sitting there with Charlie when she is in the depths of her distress soaking it all in. He needed that. And of course its going to be scary when he manages to break that contract. I am actually curious how Viv is going to play him once the restraints are off and whether she is going to have a psychopath come around in the end or is he a lost cause that will fight to his end.

I THOUGHT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY SPEAKERS LOL The commitment is really impresive.

This is amazing!! I don’t think I get through a single one of your videos without at least feeling some tears welling, you’re so good at walking us through the concepts and how they apply in such a personal way! Thank you so much for this content, and PLEASE DO THE SIR PENTIOUS VIDEO!!! :D

I love how when you're doing an analysis you incorporate aspects of the character into the video whether it's clothes or even the radio filter. Thank you for the enthusiasm and energy you bring to this.

I'd love an episode on Vaggie. She seems to have lost her original identity and seems to have staked her entire new identity on a codependant relationship with Charlie. I think it'd be interesting.

I need to Georgia to explain why I'm so obsessed with a character I would hate in real life 😭😭

By examining his character you managed to piece together more of a theory than a majority of the fan base.

I loved the commitment with the costume and the radio effect and the little detail that the video only drops the radio effect after we see Alastor's microphone breaking

alastor also seems to have a really genuine and sweet friendship with rosie, idk i just thought that relationship was neat

The radio voice is awesome, is super creative, and a great addition to your cosplay. I love Alastor because his motives are so mysterious and how expressive he is despite always smiling. You know exactly how he's feeling behind that grin, yet never know what he's going to do next. Nothing's off the table.

I LOVE the fact that when his mic breaks, you take the effect off of your voice too. Serious dedication to the cosplay, awesome video.

Love your analysis, as usual, and I think your suspicion of the circumstances moderating Alastor’s behavior are spot on.

Like the radio voice, it’s a neat touch!

As a psychology student and a big nerd/ fan of animated shows finding ur channel is one of the best things i found today !!!

Your dedication to every video - from dressing up as a character you're analysing, to even adding the audio filter for Alastor specifically - is just so wonderful to see. And hear.

Something about the scene when Charlie is about to address the cannibals. Before she begins speaking, Alastor hands her his cane. The microphone cane is a key component of his character design. He's always seen holding it or always has it just within reach when he needs a free hand. This cane is a symbol of Alastor's power. It's iconic. He's shown summoning objects and creatures of all sorts. He could have easily summoned a microphone or a megaphone to allow her to be heard, but instead hands her his extremely powerful demonic artifact that is so deeply entwined into his persona. This is a HUGE sign of respect. And in doing so gives Charlie confidence.

I think the interaction with Husker has a few more important clues to it. It's the one time where Alastor gets genuinely upset at someone because it is a fact that he detests. He doesn't want to be under the thumb of anyone regardless of the benefit, another trait many psychopaths share (and others, to be fair). When Husker points out that Alastor isn't in control as he says he is, he responds with extreme anger and threats, and that masquerade of calm control and false humor that he flaunts so much to others drops like a rock.

When watching the show, I figured Alastor was only up there in the final battle for the vanity of it. Specifically for killing the first man, Adam. The way he announces his fight and continuously taunts Adam to try and throw him off guard, trying every advantage he can gain. Especially with his final song where he sounds annoyed at people potentially thinking he turned altruistic, like people would think he's "weak". I was, and still am, fully convinced Alastor felt like he was being overshadowed and slighted for most of the show and wants to kill the first human as a way to prove to the entirety of Hell "Yes, I am back and still just as powerful. No, more powerful." But, that is to say, he is my favorite character. Mostly because I can not predict how this will end for him. I can fully see Alastor turning into a surprise antagonist or the longest and toughest redemption arc of the whole show, sort of a "final test" of Charlie's goal. (I don't like using that term for a person, but you get what I mean.) It all depends on how the story plays out and what the writers want to do with him, and I'll be on the edge of my seat the whole time.

It took me until about 4 minutes into the video before I noticed that you were using the same audio aesthetic as Alastor. Love it! Thank you for that little detail. I love that you dress as the characters in Hazbin Hotel while you analyze their behavior. This has been a really enjoyable series to watch. Thank you!! :)

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VID LIKE THIS, super insightful

He does also mention that she’s a powerful being and that he wants to “guide” her power. So that could also be a hint at his own true intentions outside of the deal. He wants to be her mentor so that she becomes even more powerful. Likely also so that it puts him in this position with her where she will likely never come for him and would possibly help him if he needed it. IE: Holding up her end of the deal. The favor.

Most of the overlords that Alastor didn't kill (Carmilla, Rosie, Zestial, Husk,...) seem actually to be rather nice people. The only "bad overlords" we see are the Vees, and they probably rose to power while Alastor was gone. So this could mean that Alastor only targeted evil overlords. I'm really curious if we will find out his motivation. We he trying to make hell a better place? Does he think the nice overlords are no thread to him?

I love-love-love your outfit=) Radio effect was also a really nice touch! Thank you for a great video=3

Your mic looked awesome, I love the “follow me eye” effect you did with it. Small details but wonderful nonetheless ❤

Notice that both Zestial and Carmilla show traits of empathy and compassion in their scenes. They are concerned for the people and each other. I think this is why Alastor did not go to battle with them as the person holding his soul does not want him hurting people with signs of goodness within them. And they know what sort of monster he is but maintain a tentative truce as the fight would likely cause damage to many.

24:16 The attention to detail to when he has his radio voice disabled and you doing the same right after is a very nice touch!

24:41 love the detail in the background of his shadow losing its smile. Showing us more that this moment really affected him in a way we havent seen before.

Amazing analysis! I really liked how you brought up how many psychopaths feel a desire to be recognized; whether that be in fear, respect, adoration, or submission, and that really shines through with Alastor in so many of his interactions. Against his enemies, he's a confident, powerful, terrifying and infallible being; to his "friends", he's a cordial, somewhat loyal, and almost always (seemingly) helpful ally, and to those who don't recognize his superiority, he always has to find a spot to strike back or display it, such as with Lucifer. It feels almost ironic for that reason that the one person who finally gets the edge on Alastor and defeats him is the man so narcissistic that no amount of pressing and prodding could crack his gigantic ego, that being Adam. Something else I noticed that wasn't quite covered here which feels really vital to his characterization is with Charlie's rousing song with the cannibals in the seventh episode, there's a moment where he and Rosie sing about Charlie's unrealized power, with Alastor himself having a line of her being "full of potential that [he] could guide". What this makes it feel to me is that Alastor may eventually (whether we see it or not) be faced at a crossroads of recognizing Charlie - and the Hotel as well - as a tool (which it seems he might be so far) for personal domination and self-gain, or as a friend.

What I noticed about the Lucifer vs Alastor song is that Lucifer’s lyrics focused more on what he can do but Alastor’s focused on what he’s done already.

The theory of Alastor being required by his deal to risk his life for the hotel is actually pretty plausible with your analysis. Loved it by the way! Another theory is that the “Great Alastor, altruist, died for his friends” line is him expressing shock and horror that he himself would do such a thing for them, that he was genuinely becoming attached to this band of misfits, and nearly paid for it with his life. These feelings of course making him want freedom from whoever he leashed to more than ever.

I love how you did the filter💞 I love your videos!😊

I love how you make a costume for the characters you’re talking about

23:45 I personally see it as... taking a risk for a potential loss now, for the chance of a bigger win later. Charlie is clearly his end game piece, his queen on the chessboard, and Adam is fixated on ending her. Not only that he also has the hotel or at least Charlie's care in it factored into his plan. Alastor is essentially keeping his cards close to his chest.

He certainly felt some emotions when Susan was mentioned. Susan. 😒

Beautiful cosplay and perfect analysis as always. You killed it as always.

Love the dedication of changing up the audio because you were covering Alastor.

6:34 Astute point made in this part. For those who saw in season 1 episode 7, we can tell that Alastor's dealmaking strategy is not built suddenly: he builds it slowly.

Alastor is giving Cheshire Cat vibes... Also the voice and the ears, very smart and cute.

Great video this one and all the others. I have been enjoying going through them pretty happily!

I love your character analysis on all the characters!

Alastor seems like The Vulnerable Dark Triad (Vulnerable Narcissism, Borderline Personality Disorder, and lifestyle/habits common in dark triads) covert/vulnerable narcissism fits for nuances of his righteousness & borderline personality disorder would aid his thorough understanding of emotional manipulation and his somewhat sudden attachment to Charlie/The Hotel

While we try to puzzle out Alastor's motives through his interactions, I think it might be a good idea to try to analyze this through Alastor's consequences. Unfortunately, we don't have much info on those. We know he had terminated a lot of powerful Overlords in Hell, but we have no idea how those Overlords were treating the demons that *they* had under their control. For all we know, Alastor could have liberated thousands from oppression and hidden that under the claim that he was a ruthless killing machine.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this analysis!!! The way the HH fandom "views" the characters of the show makes me grit my teeth so often that my dentist is almost knocking on my door. 🙄 You nailed this from every single point I could think of, and it made me sigh in relief that I'm not the only one who sees them the way I do. You've got yourself a fan here! I'll be anxiously waiting for your next videos! ❤
