Fan Theory: Alastor had a rivalry with Thomas Edison (yes, really) in the 1920s

I originally had a whole theory typed up with lots of evidence for this, but my computer crashed and deleted all of it, so here are some of the basic points of the theory that I came up with:

Alastor grew up in the early 1900s, when the phonograph, invented and sold by Thomas Edison, was the main form of music recording and playing in the United States. Alastor was likely called a "gramophile", or gramophone enthusiast "who eschewed a wife and children to focus on music", as he was an asexual during this era. However, radio started to replace phonographs in the 1920s-1930s, cutting into Edison's profits, to his frustration.

Alastor was a popular radio host in the 1920s-1930s, and was one of the main reasons why people were buying and using radios, instead of Edison's phonographs and records, to play music. If people could listen to music for free on the radio, why would they buy Edison's phonographs? (Alastor was quite smug about this.)

The quality of music on the radio was often better than on Edison's phonographs and recordings, as many radio shows provided live music, which means inviting the band and musicians to play live on-air. It wasn't something that could be mass-produced for profit, also to Edison's consternation.

Alastor's specialty was jazz, a form of music originally "invented by, and for, the phonograph". (He also dabbled in blues as well.)

Unlike Edison and other phonograph and record producers, who were often racist and used what is called "digital blackface" today (i.e. pretending to be Black in recordings, because hiring Black artists over white artists was unthinkable), Alastor was an authentic mixed-race Creole host, though likely "white-passing".

Vox seems to be based, at least somewhat, on Thomas Edison, particularly as Edison didn't just formerly control the music industry with the phonograph, but also the movie industry, with one source stating that 75% of Americans in the 1920s went to the movies "every week". (Edison sold his film studio in 1918.)

Alastor seems to have a special disdain for Vox and his "picture show", all movies and TV shows. My guess is that this came from his disdain for Edison Pictures and the movies vs. radio rivalry.

Edison died at the age of 84 in 1931 from old age and diabetes complications, whereas Alastor was killed in his 30s-40s in 1933.

As an edit, here is Part 2 of this fan theory with a lot more evidence.

"That fucker is back!"

"You still pissed he almost beat you that time~?"

That time:

🥺💓🫳

I couldn't get the idea of Alastor holding Husk like that one ferret gif during his lament in the finale out of my head.

HELLO YALL- It's Chol!

You may or may not have seen my HH stuff on Tiktok 😭😭

PSA for hazbin hotel fans

I love y'all but you DO realize that when Alastor is monologing and is all 'great alastor, altruist' blah blah- 'altruist' is NOT his last name, its an adhetive basically used to describe someone who sacricifes for a 'good' or morally right cause, so he is sarcastically refering to himself as a morally correct supporter of charlies cause.

Sorry i just keep seeing people being like 'oh alastors last name' and thats not what it is.

In the words of our deer radio demon (haha play on words):

'Thats the tea'

Alastor hair is the biggest 🖕 to draw sometimes

I brought you some Alastor and wine.

Hazbin Hotel Quote #1

Alastor: I scare people a lot because I walk very softly and they don't hear me enter rooms. So when they turn around, I'm just kind of there and their fear fuels me.

Mhhh....

If they go the Alastor redemption route I want at least one scene where the rest of the hotel watches him do something impulsively selfless and he just hides away at Rosie's for like a week in shame and refuses to go back to the hotel

steve has to console eddie for a week when he finds out their kids only like the sped up chipmunks version of corroded coffin songs

This place reeks of death.

for some reason i'm thinking about the acotar gang reading thirst tweets. like on buzzfeed.

rhys and mor are very aware of how hot they are and are shameless flirts so they get through it without batting an eye. probably match the tweet's energy.

nesta and amren fully shame the authors of said tweets (but it's ok, most of them are into that)

lucien wouldn't be able to make it through without laughing, and also kinda jabs at people but in a more lighthearted way. like "you know that's actually quite a poetic way to put that. you should write greeting cards"

cassian responds to i'm simply just a hole for cassian by very seriously being like "you're so much more than that. give yourself a little credit."

"i'd let feyre archeron stuff my — oh my god. i can't read that."

elain will read the most unhinged, feral statement, and after a moment of buffering and blushing, will clear her throat and be like, "that is very sweet and i'm very flattered."

and i feel like azriel gets the kind of tweets that you can't even understand bc every other word has to be censored. and then he just stares silently into the camera with palpable disappointment.

I’m back from the dead with new hyperfixations! Give me an excuse to write and send me requests please!!

i love alastor because he’s so used to people being impressed by him that it gets under his skin SOOOO badly when they aren’t. he’s always like yeahhh lol btw i was missing for seven years and then came back with no explanation OOOHHH wonder what that’s about !! and the one time carmilla was like. actually that isn’t any of my business and idgaf 🤷‍♂️ his entire mood was Killed. he already had smth against lucifer for whatever reason but when the king of hell didn’t know and didn’t care about his infamous radio show that he garnered his feared reputation from he immediately was like Oh I’m Going To Squash Him Like a Bug. like ok. you can just say you want people to think you’re cool dude there’s no need for all this

Alastor and Rosie are my everything

am i late? I heared it was aroace week???

i usually don't draw this kind of stuff but this is canon SO

i bet Rosie is the one who explains all new slang to him

they're besies your honor

"Great alastor, altruist, died for his friends" 🥀

He's such a fucking dork
