≫ I originally made this edit to feature in my charlastor fanfiction: Soul Switched: Ch. 10 but I began the story long before Charlie’s official name & design change so this is what I worked with (*^_^*)
≫ I’ve stared at this edit for over four hours so I can’t remember how sore it is on the eyes therefore my apologies in advance (ｰ ｰ;)
I’ve noticed a lot of y’all along with other members of the Hazbin fandom are on AO3 much more than Wattpad, so I’ve also made my Soul Switched fanfic available on Archive Of Our Own if you’d like to read ☺️
I woke up way later than planned today, so I missed the big reveal and actually pretty glad I did. Meant I was able to live in a dying fantasy just a little bit longer.
≫ I’ll try to make this quick, so here we’ll review everything including the following, most notable, changes:
• microphone
• white
• pants
• w h i t e
Troυѕerѕ:
As I predicted, she changed Alastor’s pants to black after Charlie Morningstar’s recent all red outfit, and it looks good It’s a simple accent and easily goes with the rest of the ensemble.
Мoυтн:
His teeth are now shaped slightly different, whereas they used to protected out of his gums individually, they now sort of blend together more. I do like this shape better, they really give Alastor this even more flashy, yet suave, type of essence, you know?
If you look closely, his tongue has changed from grey to red. I personally liked it grey better, as it looked less human on him, but it still works (I also hope his gums are still black as Viv once stated). In a small fraction of frames in the pilot, his tongue is shown as red, which has always confused me; maybe it’s an error idk. But anyway, now it’s officially red.
Gloveѕ:
Alastor has lost the classic, spotted-knuckle pads we used to see on his gloves, which were cannon. Now, I’m not so sure—that may have changed in his new design. Those could be his actual hands now, it’s too soon to say until Vivzie decides to specify otherwise.
Oυтғιт:
Idek where to start.
His sleeves are the same color, but his torso changed. The pinstripes are still the same color, but his chest is a lot brighter now. Is he wearing a vest now??? If so, the colors are clashing horribly with how the sleeves are darker. If it’s still a jacket, then call a new tailor it looks like his went colorblind. But his collar is also colored the same as his sleeves—as it would when someone wears a vest. Even though I hate the new changes rn, idk what’s up because Charlie’s new look is still very stylish and fashionable ✨
But…this? The white doesn’t match his outfit, and not only that, it’s the only trimming on his clothes colored that way, so it’s incredibly out of place. For the sake of styling….I hope it’s a vest, because that would make one funky overcoat O.o
Now, for all us tail lovers, not to worry! There’s still plenty of room for Alastor to hide a fluffy deer tail under that jacket/waistcoat thingy I assure you so we must not lose hope!! (〃ω〃)
Mιcropнone:
Yes, Viv did make an attempt to change his inner microphone from a pastel to white so something would coordinate with the new white trim (and the coffee cup, so as long as he always has a drink with him there is still hope), though he doesn’t carry it half of the time anyway, so that new hem will be standing out a lot all by itself but….yeah. The mic also lost one of its rims, now it only carries one. I almost overlooked that, so despite liking the previous style, it’s not a big deal. I still want to know if she made the staff longer or not, but it’s tucked out of sight here, so we still have yet to find that out.
ВUT тσ ѕυм тнιղgѕ υρ—
Now I’m not going to get into crap like if stuff suits their personas or character/OOC analysis, this is just a fashion overview. It seems Vivzie traded Alastor’s suit/jacket/vest flaps for white so she could give his old darkened ones away to Charlie Morningstar’s new pantsuit that was copy and pasted, switched both of their pant’s colors (black≠red), while using white on Alastor in a way to almost compliment Charlie’s complexion so we don’t get epilepsy when they’re next to each other…? Idk.
Honestly, not even worried about that anymore. It looks like she still got too many complaints about too much red in the pilot—that’s been happening since the thing aired, but I personally always liked the wild pink and red neon schemes up until she tried to pull a switcharoo with Alastor & Charlie, then tried to overcompensate his style to make up for the new changes so they wouldn’t ‘twin.’
But FR tho, ngl at this point Alastor’s old outfit would have looked more tolerable beside Charlie’s new one more than this updated suit. I mean it’s better than looking at an outfit that doesn’t even match by itself, for Hell’s sake it looks like he’s wearing patchwork I can’t stand that small-itty-bitty-isolated WHITE, I’d rather have to see more black on him than that color.
And since black was already and still is his primary monochrome accent, while Charlie’s is now white (instead of her EX. black trousers & suspenders), adding her new monochrome accent to Alastor’s outfit as well, on TOP of all the other shades he is already displaying somehow makes them clash with each other further yet. I’m not kidding, now it looks like Alastor is trying to keep up with Charlie

All I can say before leaving is this—thank god Viv didn’t go into fashion

~What do you guys think of all the new changes?
~What do you hope to see in all of the other character’s updated appearances??
Why would you use your Twitter to haunt me for 7 days until take off while I get to sit here and wait in agony hoping he doesn’t change even though he is going to change hence the whole point of release for his new design why couldn’t you just rip it off like a bandaid like for Charlie Morningstar we already knew this was coming anyway because you already made it clear we were going to meet the rest of the cast again do not play mind games with the fandom like this I am not freaking out yOu aRE FREAKING OUT IM PERFECTLY CALM OKAY
Tweets from Viv and the first is referring to Charlie’s last name changing to Morningstar
Because nothing says classic like copying another name from the same character of another hit show
Dude, Morningstar has ALWAYS been a part of Lucifer’s name. Wayyyyyy before the tv show even existed. She’s not copying from Lucifer; she’s simply using the actual Biblical name.
Lucifer literally means “morning star,” ffs x3
Even if Lucifer was always Latin for morning star, that title already has a huge rep for the Lucifer series as is. Either way, it’s worn out by now, and is a really unoriginal surname in these circumstances. It’s one thing to recycle an overused name for the main character your own take of said popular trope (in this case, religious fiction), and it’s another matter entirely to go out of your way to change long standing character’s current name to it.
It’s an extremely cliche move, puts the Hazbin franchise one step closer to mainstream, and their old surname Magne was much more classy, yet simple, translating to ‘all mighty/warrior’ in ancient Norse, and ‘great’ in French. I don’t have a problem if people like how Charlie Morningstar sounds, but there’s nothing at all classic about it anymore, just disappointing to see.
Extremely cliche? Funny you say that when on your blog, your pinned post says that nothing is too cliche, and things are cliche because “people can’t get enough of that shit.”
Headline before that quote also states: “Have an idea for your story?”That post is only referring to storytelling like scenarios, prompts, writing, and genre tropes alone, example: religious fiction. It’s a much different topic altogether when it comes to individual characters that have personal traits and qualities that are much overused like something extremely upfront, for another example, a last name. Just because everyone enjoys a good kind of story, doesn’t mean we always want see the same plain Jane living it. Cliche isn’t a good thing for an OC.
