clocking in again for the daily grind

Sometimes you get a burst of inspiration regarding Alastor spiritual psychosis and need to write a the beginnings of a quick murdermedia one-shot in your notes app while you're working from home.

This is feeding my Service Top/SubTop Vincent agenda. Look at how he’s fully accommodating Alastor with this. Alastor doesn’t even have to tilt his head- but Vincent is fully bent to him, like he was just WAITING to do anything at all for Alastor, even something so simple. 😩❤️

foreplay that legally falls under bodily harm

Alastor’s lack of explicit emotional expression and outright avoidance of vulnerability, especially interpersonally, is absolutely going to be acknowledged in season 3. His entire identity is built on control, performance, and distance - to state a feeling plainly would be to collapse the carefully constructed persona of the Radio Demon into something legible, understood, or controlled. With the hotel, we’re already seeing the fracture line - he frames his involvement as entertainment, as curiosity, as a “project,” but his behavior fully contradicts that framing - he still defends it, returns to it, destabilizes when he can’t control outcomes. The more the hotel becomes something he cannot reduce to a game, the more pressure builds against his emotional repression. In the next season, I think this will be a core conflict for his character. But instead of instead of a clean arc where he “learns to express his feelings,” what we’re more likely to see is deeper contradictions between what he says and what he does, moments where others begin to interpret (and call out) his care even if he never confirms it, and potentially (hopefully!), a breaking point where his performance fails entirely - not in a soft, confessional way, but in something abrupt, defensive, violent.
