Hi! So you can call this a rant or a vent or whatever I don't rlly care - I just wanted to put some of my opinions out there bc it is eating me inside out to keep my opinions on Alastor's sexuality and all of the discourse about him being shipped to myself.
Also i'd like to state that I'm writing this as someone who is aroace but has no actual wish to be in a romantic relationship and actually struggles to so much as picture what that's be like for myself. I would also like to state how I'm not speaking for the whole community and others will have different opinions to myself.
Firstly - aroace is a spectrum (as someone who is on the aroace spectrum btw) and I completely agree with ppl who say that it is a spectrum and shipping has always existed and you can't rlly stop an entire fandom. My only problem is when ppl completely ignore that he is aroace while doing this, bc to me it seems like there's so much potential to having him have to go through those types of emotions and to write him off as if he's completely allo not only can make some people feel unseen but also just isn't as fun.
Also I kind of believe that he'd possibly date someone for the entertainment - like even if he didn't exactly feel romantic attraction maybe he'd be willing to be around someone closely bc he might like the reactions he'd be getting. (example: he might've stayed in a relationship with Vox maybe not out of pure attraction but if he found out that affection could make the TV short-circuit? He'd be interested)
Adding to that, I personally do not actually ship him with anyone romantically due to his character + the fact that I am projecting my own distaste for romance on him but you do you ig.
Also, on the note of nsfw around him - sometimes you cannot stop a fandom, rule 34 exists and some people who are asexual sometimes may want to have sex and all of that stuff. Personally I think he'd probably be sex-repulsed due to the fact that he canonically has issues with being touched.
ALSO, i personally think that way too many people are brushing over the idea of putting Alastor in a QPR - like that would literally be so awesome.
Alastor x Rosie? Cute af (to me Rosie gives of aro vibes too, but more romance - favourable) like they're already besties and honestly I think that Rosie would defo help him figure out about his identity considering that he's quite obviously not all that sure about slang and stuff.
Vox x Alastor - It has the potential to be SO FUCKING FUN like, you get to experiment with how they feel for each other, maybe what Alastor's got going on bc he died before being aroace was rlly a thing and he'd be confused about how he felt about Vox for sure.
Lucifer x Alastor - I quite like it, ik that Lucifer is supposed to be with Lillith but she did take an extremely long hiatus on her family up in heaven so i think it's okay. Plus the idea of them bonding and becoming close due to Charlie is wonderful.
Even angel and Alastor - maybe after Val Angel doesn't want a super sexual relationship - maybe he's not all that interested in something purely romantic either and though I love huskerdust this would still be pretty cool.
Really all I'm saying is; be considerate. Incorporate the fact that Alastor is Aroace, even if you do ship him - in or out of QPRs - and ofc sometimes writing someone who is part of a group ur not in is difficult (coming from someone who often struggles in writing especially when it comes to romance) but taking a crack at it might actually turn out to be rlly cool.
But please don't ignore his aroace-ness, there's not a huge amount of aroace characters out there and acting like someone isn't can be annoying for ppl who want to find rep around their identity, esp if they haven't seen much before (I can relate and he was one of the first aroace characters I was introduced to after I found out what it meant).
So yeah, that's my piece.

Now onto our next set of characters, the twins Wendy and Abigail. Read their story under the cut!
After Abigail’s tragic passing in 1914, Wendy could no longer live with the grief and followed her sister down that same cliffs edge. Maxwell, already well acquainted with the Codex Umbra and shadow magic, decided to sneak into the graveyard with his assistant Charlie to dig up the graves of his nieces.
It took many hours, countless days but soon he was able to bring them back with only the faintest of tells that they had been dead. He hid the secret from his brother Jack and crowned the girls as the twin Nightmare Princesses of the Constant, who now rule beside him and Charlie.

What do you think the significance is that Charlie was off at a birthday party for most of Bowling? I wonder if it was another nod to the idea of moving on/growing up that's been so strong this season
The first thing that jumps out to me when they mentions the birthday party is that Uncle Jack's birthday party and the fact that Charlie doesn't even realise he's over 40, so I don't think anyone celebrates Charlie's birthday for a long time. However in this ep it's clear that Charlie loves birthday parties or at least the food and drinks that come with it, even though he doesn't like the idea of being at Jack's birthday party.
I do think with those facts, Charlie missed his own parties. He's having loads of fun in the birthday party seems like what in his eyes the past was or what could have been. Also when he's actually here where we can see, he's still obssessed with the waitress, so it seems that he's still dwelling on the past. However, the part where the waitress easily manipulates him, it could mean sticking to the old way is not going to work out great, but I'm not really sure about it.
Along with the fact that in s15, Charlie gets the closure of meeting his biological father and finds out he could read, and in this season Charlie seems much less delusional compared to himself before and to other people in the gang, I think it's about Charlie reflects and reconciles with his childhood, and it's a continuation from the previous episodes in this season!

also thinking about evan being extremely physically and emotionally reliant on Mrs. Francine Afton only for her to die when Evan was two or three, thus setting up the precedent in Evan's life that the people who are supposed to help him will always end up abandoning him ( Charlie and Liz dying on him, the remaining three members of his family switching back and forth between kindness and cruelty so flippantly, etc)
