You know, I honestly think that the whole radio schtick is more of an aesthetic for Alastor than most people in Hell assume. I mean, Vox's powers are very literally tied to television what with his hypnosis being effective even through video screens. Take away his massive network and you take away the vast majority of his power.
But Alastor? He loves radio but he uses it as a device to needle others and to broadcast the screams of his enemies. Its an intimidation device, his way to reach the masses. But if you took away his ability to broadcast he still has:
-Eldritch tentacles
-His giant form
-His moppets and poppets that all have maws of sharp teeth and he seemingly has an endless supply
-Some form of summoning powers directly tied to voodoo where he can open portals into some unknown dimension, presumably where he gets the tentacles from in the first place.
-Direct control over living shadows that he can use as minions.
-His own personal living shadow that aids him whenever needed.
-Shadow teleportation.
-The ability to summon objects/alter living spaces/alter other people's clothing.
-The ability to mess with electronics and presumably be able to fry them with nothing more than a bit of concentration.
Plus the millions of souls he's got on contract to qualify as an Overlord. He didn't make those deals through the radio, none of his souls help with his radio work, he made deals when it suited him and never tied the souls too directly with his own work.
Radio is his passion but its not the source of Alastor's power. Merely the format he uses to fuck with Hell on a large scale. And Vox in particular. TV is, after all, based on radio waves. Even if Vox managed to get rid of Alastor's radio tower Alastor could just hi-jack Vox's radio waves and completely jam up the signal in Hell.
I’m petsitting/housesitting for my aunt and her dog has gone entirely deaf in her old age so I’m gonna try teach her sign commands
First I am establishing a reward signal, and I have picked “shine on shine on” from watching Ms Frazzled videos on Facebook (I wiggle my fingers). She is not a dog trainer btw she does satire videos about gentle-parenting entitled adults. Anyway every time I give Sandor scritches I smile and do Shine at her to establish the hand signal as a reward because she can’t hear clicker noises. Once she catches on I will teach her commands.
Also here’s your dog tax
– his whole schtick is that he’s speedy. Hummingbirds are so fast you have to film them with high speed cameras
– his janky wing shape. Hummingbirds only have one wing joint, whereas most birds have two
– colour. Hawks don’t have vibrant red wings, but hummingbirds can
– tiny guy. He’s so fucking tiny look at him
But "The Hummingbird Hero" doesn’t sound like a very powerful representative of the HPSC, does it?

Fuck it. So many of you asked for this so I’m delivering. English Willy part 2. Enjoy
(part 1)
Alastor: I’m sure you’ve all been wondering where I’ve been.
Carmilla: No. No, I haven’t. And if I have to hear one more word about it, I am going to lose my goddamn mind.
(the three different betting pools running simultaneously were what pushed her over the edge)
Angel: hey, did you know Al freezes up if you flash him?
Vaggie: you flashed Alastor?! What the fuck is wrong with you?!
Charlie: Angel, flashing people is so inappropriate!
Husk: how are you not dead?! He’s killed and dismembered people, 'n not necessarily in that order, for less
Angel: you’d never believe me if I didn’t show you so he’s still frozen in front of the torch
Vaggie: wait, torch? Like a flashlight?
Angel: hah! you sickos~
Vaggie: *facepalms*
Husk: *faceplants into the bar*
Charlie: guys, Niffty just ran past with a torch…
Angel: shit—
Mina be giving me some kind of allo awakening stg im feeling some way about her and i have no idea what it is but holy fuck shes so fuckign gorgeous—
Another clip from yesterday I forgot to post: Sandor is actively looking at me when doing “stay”, exactly what I want her to do
Have some unhelpful and super vague instructions that are not friendly to crochet newbies while I work on the real pattern. UK stitch names btw
Crochet an oval that fits to the second joint of your finger, then add a few rows of double crochet until it fits over your curled finger. You will need eight of these and they will probably all be different sizes.
Slip stitch the middle and ring finger together about a third of the way (e.g. if they’re both 18 stitches crochet 6 stitches together), then add a row of double crochet around the outside of both.
Slip stitch the index finger to the other side of the middle finger. Make sure it’s exactly opposite to the ring finger (e.g. 3 stitches of middle finger on front and back, 6 stitches connecting each other finger). Double crochet around and slip stitch the pinky to the opposite side of the ring finger while you’re there.
Double crochet around the whole lot, decreasing 2 stitches in the palm every row or two until you can put the fingers on and reach the base of your thumb. The thumb is just a magic circle with a couple increase rows and then double crocheting around. Slip stitch the thumb to the rest.
Keep double crocheting around and decreasing if needed for a snug fit. Test how easily you can slip them on every few rows to make sure the fattest part of your hand can fit through.
The palm pad is a circle and the outside two rows have this pattern: [dc, htr, tr, htr, dc, sl st] three times to make the clover shape. The theta delta is optional or can be swapped out for smth else but it’s just stitched on.
The finger pads are tiny ovals. Like two rows. Test where to put all the pads on while you’re wearing the glove to see the best placement for you and stitch them on.
Not pictured is claws. Do a tiny cone starting with a magic circle of 4 stitches and increase only on one side to curve the cone into a claw shape. Try different sizes and placements and stitch them on the paw tips.
