In Canon
In Fandom
Alastor is a very popular character as well as the source of considerable controversy.
Shipping Controversy
In one episode, Alastor is confirmed as asexual,[1] and a number of fans argue that the context and his behavior in general is meant to signify that he is also aromantic. Thus, many fans, especially fans in aspec communities, see him as good representation[2] and see shipping him as ace and aro erasure.[3] However, he is a Tumblr sexyman and remains a popular character in shipping, both romantic and sexual. This has led to some division in the fandom.
Among those who ship Alastor, he is most frequently shipped with Lucifer Morningstar, followed by Vox, Angel Dust, and Charlie Morningstar. There is a higher number of Alastor/Reader fics on Ao3 than for any other character from the show.
Fan Commentary
