Howdy, I’ve got a request! I was wondering if you could do headcanons for Alastor x reader who used to be a rockette when alive? (Like the ones from Radio City Music Hall) I feel like he’d be super smitten with someone who was so involved in the world of showbiz!
Oh hell yeah!
Headcanons of The Radio Demon And The Rockette
Alastor X Rockette Reader
Warning! ⚠
⚠ gun mention, injury-no detail. ⚠
~
First of all. Mwuah!💋 Beautiful.
Alastor loves you. Let me just get that said first.
The first time you meet is actually at the park.
He sees you perform at Mimzy's club and he's hooked.
Way to go, you reeled in a fish.
A dead rose appears on your vanity in your personal dressing room.
The next day again after your show. Still one single rose.
You decide to play a game with the one gifting you roses.
Getting two fresh ones and putting them on your vanity for when they come back.
It goes back and forth until your dressing room is full.
You have to call your boss Mimzy to send help to move some out.
Eventually Alastor approaches you with a bouquet of fifteen roses. Dead of course.
"I do apologize for all the roses. I didn't think of them cluttering your dressing room at the time.", he smiles sheepishly.
You couldn't believe it. The Radio Demon likes your work.
At some point both of you schedule a day together.
Talking about your old lives up on Earth and things that both of you did once arriving in Hell.
You tell him about performing in one of Lilith's shows.
"The Queen of Hell? Really?", he asks.
"Oh yes. I even met his majesty, Lucifer."
You two are friends now. Alastor fancies you.
Mimzy catches on after a bit and gets jealous.
"Accidents" start occuring whenever you're on stage, and other unfortunate things.
Like your dressing room getting trashed and your pay being cut.
Your boss reassures that she'll have everything fixed.
But it all happens again and again.
At this point, you're done.
You set up your last dance and the costumes have masks.
"This routine will be different. I won't lead it. Instead I'll choose one of our best.", you say and call up one of your best dancers. "You'll be our center."
Safe to say everything goes to shit.
It was not your dancers fault. No. It was the damn demon who brought a gun and shot at your leading dancer.
Poor demon was bawling at the graze on their arm. You gave them a few days off to collect themselves, but that just meant someone had it out for you.
After that you leave, telling no one. Packing up your things at your place to move elsewhere.
A few weeks pass and Alastor contacts you. Sending you a flyer of the "Hazbin Hotel."
Hazbin? You think confused.
You were sure it was the Happy Hotel on the news.
Alastor is the first one to greet and welcome you there.
~
I loved this so much! I wanna make a oneshot.
~Seline, the person.
ML for Alastor🎙

In 1994, FAO Schwarz released the special edition Radio City Music Hall Rockettes Barbie.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As an Australian I know very little about the Rockettes except what I have picked up from various media. I don't know exactly how much of a cultural institution they are.
The Rockettes have their own doll line as well which look very similar to Barbie. In fact, on the secondary market a lot of Rockettes dolls are described as Barbies or include "Mattel" in the description, even though they are not produced by Mattel or a part of the Barbie line.
In fact, Mattel sued Radio City Entertainment over this.
It was a complicated case, including appeals. The crux of the matter was whether Mattel's copyright on the Barbie design covered facial features which could be argued are "standard" such as the spacing of the eyes, pert nose, and slim features.
Mattel cited two specific Barbies that they thought the Rockettes ripped off: Neptune's Daughter Barbie from 1992 and CEO Barbie from 1999. Specifically, they alleged that a specific Rockettes doll was violating this copyright: the Rockettes 2000 doll.
Tumblr media
I'll let you be the judge of how Barbie-esque this looks.

‘A HOLIDAY SPECTACULAR’ REVIEW
‘A Holiday Spectacular’ was written by Julie Sherman Wolfe and directed by John Putch. The cast featured Ginna Claire Mason, Derek Klena, Eve Plumb, Stephen DeRosa, Ann-Margret, Elle Graper, Bryon Jennings, Carolyn McCormick, Sara Gallos, Dylan S Wallach, the Radio City’s Rockettes and more!
The film sets in present day with an Older Margaret with her granddaughter Lucy (Elle Graper), who is going to audition at the Radio City as Clara in ‘The Nutcracker’. To calm Lucy’s anxiety and fears, Margaret decides to tell her secret, that’s where we suddenly go back to the year of 1958 in Philadelphia. Young Margaret is part of the Philadelphia wealthy high society and is expected to be married into the well known prominent family. But she feels stuck with the wedding plans, so she makes a sudden decision to go to New York City to fulfill her dream to become one of the iconic Radio City’s Rockettes after seeing them on Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade on her television.
Ginna Claire Mason as Margaret is absolutely divine to watch. She’s funny, ambitious, driven and confident. In the film, we see a stark contrast of both worlds, as a wealthy Philadelphia socialite and a Rockette; a loveless engagement to a man who hardly knew anything about her, and picturing the idea of the “perfect” wife would be like once she’s married. Then there’s other world where she is more comfortable and content in the city, surrounded by a group of ladies in a boarding house for the Rockettes and we see that there’s a huge weight off of her shoulders by dancing on stage every night rather than having her head in amounts of stressful planning for the upcoming wedding.
During her time in the city, she meets several people throughout her journey. Sofia; her talkative, bubbly, hilarious roommate and best friend, who is portrayed by Sara Gallos. We can see that she was clearly having a ball playing the part. Alice (Tiffany Denise Hobbs) and Janet (Larissa Schmitz) are among in the supportive sisterhood of the Rockettes. It’s neat to find a little tidbits of the side-characters and their story in the film. And how they all bond with each other on and off-stage due to how much they relate to one to another especially they are going down the same pathway to perform as a Rockette.
There’s several great scenes with Maggie and the Rockettes where we see how hard they work on stage and how precise each dance move has to be with certain timing of the song or how quickly they have to change into another costume by helping each other out after running off the stage. To relate to the previous paragraph, not only we see the main characters bond, we see every single Rockette bond together as sisters on stage especially the kick-line sequences!
Derek Klena who plays John Slater who is an aspiring photographer who has dreams of going to a NYU to become a photo journalist even though he is working at his father’s shop in the city while he is off-duty from the Navy. Derek is so charismatic, charming and determined in this film! Audiences will definitely fall in love with him fast, like how Margaret did in this film.
Throughout the film, we see Maggie and John’s relationship blossoming within days of meeting each other on the streets of New York. They gave each other’s support and inspiration by their respective love for photography and dancing, going for their dreams even though their parents seem to think it’s completely impossible and they want their children to carry on the family’s name and legacy whether it’s business related or money. Derek and Ginna Claire’s chemistry is really lovely to watch on screen. They bounce each off so well with witty one-liners, slow dancing in the snow, and stealing glances throughout the film.
Eve Plumb (Brady Bunch) and Stephen DeRosa (Boardwalk Empire) played John’s adorable but strong-willed parents. Carolyn McCormick (Law and Order) and Bryon Jennings (Lincoln) portrayed as Margaret’s strict and pompous parents. Can’t imagine what imagine was it like to have the actors to have such iconic and well known stars to play as their parents or even as an older Margaret who was portrayed by Ann-Margret (Viva Las Vegas and Bye-Bye Birdie).
We get the taste of glitter and glamour in the film with pretty iconic and stunning costumes on the Rockettes. Not only that, throughout the film, we get the vibes of ‘The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel’ or ‘Rare Window’ or ‘A Star Is Born’ with the gorgeous, dreamy, bright and stylish 1950’s costumes by Keith Costumes! And the music score in the film was amazing especially during when she’s on stage with Rockettes and poignant/sentimental scenes.
‘A Holiday Spectacular’ is a wonderful movie that give us all the nostalgic and holiday feels upon watching the film. The message in the film was strongly expressed that we should be ourselves, go for what makes you happy and achieve your goals/dreams no matter what anyone says. Be surrounded by the people who know and love you for who are. Julie Sherman Wolfe did a beautiful job with the script and John Putch did a great job with the directing especially it was filmed for a short period of time. ‘A Holiday Spectacular’ had a bit more theatrical feel than the traditional Hallmark movies, even though it still had a few cheesy moments but overall the reviews and tweets from various audience members and critics say that it was really great and heartwarming Christmas film to watch. You can watch the film on Peacock TV, YouTubeTV and FrdnlyTV during the holidays! Enjoy!

The lyrics for "Let Christmas Shine" from the Radio City Christmas Spectacular have been transcribed and we have a midi for a baseline orchestration, so we're going to make a mega collab fancover as there isn't much confirmed for RoH for the holiday season!
