I have officially posted the first chapter of my 150k+

work! If you're as hyperfixated as me, I hope you'll give it a try!
@notshoelxces
I remember the live stream where Markiplier first learned people watching on different speeds. The fact he's STILL upset about it cracks me up 🤣🤣 poor Mark 🤣🤣
All hail James! The little guy likes to practice Alastor's mic twirling with sticks in his free time. Look at his smug face. All his imitating of Alastor meant he won Luci's heart too 🤣🤣

@thechosenberg
It's crazy how some people like this guy are out there not realizing that consent can be withdrawn, even after the act has started. If that isn't respected, it is rape.
@HelluvaIolite
Wait this is actually so important??? I was literally thinking earlier, "Im kinda confused by Stolas' 180 from 'I will try to make ammends' to being so volatile" like, yeah Blitz was err... not receptive? But it was soooo drastically different from what I expected.
I just wanted to take a second and thank the community for being so supportive. I've been sent so much love and concern, and I appreciate it so much. I'm in a bit of a slump, and knowing that people care about me means a LOT. I'm trying to claw my way back! Thank you all!!
HOLY FUCK he's so fucking PRETTY!!! I'm obsessed with the coloring. The red in this is just GORGEOUS. And his ears, tail - the HAIR!! The threads of the corset, his teasing expression??? It's all gorgeous!! And I'm so very in LOVE!!!!!!!!
Just popping into say hi to all of y'all :) I miss FiaD updating, but I'm making so much progress on my OG Novel!!! Hopefully I get this draft finished soon, so I can come back. But until then, know I'm still here, still thinking of the story, and will update as soon as possible!
I am SO excited to be a part of this project!!! Crazy to think I got assigned the letter A!! Look forward to October 1st, when I'll be kickstarting us off with some lovely Absolution!! I'm so excited to be working with so many other amazing authors in the fandom!!!
I'm here to officially announce the RadioApple A-Z Project for 2024! Of course, I couldn’t take on such a huge endeavor by myself, so I enlisted 25 other wonderful authors! Say hello to our lineup and get ready for some kickass
#radioapple
fics coming to you starting October 1st!
HOLY FUCK Y'ALL I ACTUALLY DID IT!!!
Chapter 18 Dealing with Promises is FINALLY DONE!! And it's 18 motherfucking THOUSAND WORDS LONG!!!
I'm sorry for the wait. But FUCK it's FINALLY HERE!! I am a bundle of nerves and 'is this good enough' but IT'S UP!
Very very late
#WIP
Wednesday. BUT I just wanted to pop in to say, even though it's taking a million years, I still am working on Ch 19. Like I haven't given up on FiaD. It's still very much on my mind. It's also another 10k+ one, and it's not even done yet, lol.
I'm just gonna say it. How is the shipping community for a Serial Killer Cannibal & the LITERAL Devil one of the nicest communities I've ever been a part of? To all of you
#RADIOAPPLE
lovers out there: thank you for proving that kindness and acceptance can exist anywhere.
I had hoped to have ch 18 out today, but I neglected to finish (and it's 2:30am now, so I need to sleep). Good news is, I'm VERY close!! It was WIP Wednesday, so have a screenshot of one part of the chapter in apology for the continued delay!!
People do realize that top/bottom preferences can be purely based on personality right? And that assuming one is due to heteronirmativity is incredibly damaging, right? Just let people read and write what they want. Ffs.
Getting closer to finishing a novel is scary. Because then you have to consider literary agents and publishing processes and it's a whole other ball of anxiety. Why can't I just poof my words into existence like A03, but get paid lots and lots and lots? lol
I hope everyone is ready for the start of October A-Z!!!! We've been cooking up some fun stuff!! I still can't believe I get to start it off. Keep an eye here later 💜💜💜
#RadioAppleWeek
Day 5: Domestic/Demon
I had the change to collab with the INCREDIBLE
@appleparty_sins
!!! Make sure to give their work tons of love!! It was so fun!!!!!!!!
Great news for you starving peeps. At long last the rewrite is complete with 16,914 words :P Now all that is left to do is edit that rewrite. Unless something major happens IRL to interrupt me, plan on FiaD 18 sometime tonight!!
Working with Apple has been SO MUCH FUN!!! I am so honored for the opportunity I was given to do so!! Thank you for working with me!!!!!!!! Writing out your beautiful vision was a delight!! Happy RadioAppleWeek!!!!!

work! If you're as hyperfixated as me, I hope you'll give it a try!
There will NEVER be sufficient enough words to express the awe I feel when AppleSchnapps blesses us with art. But to have it be based on MY story- ahhhh!!! I LOVE this art with my SOUL, and I hope you all give it the love it (and she!!!) deserves!! I looooove you, Ginger!!!!!
Put the finishing touches on this

@dollopheadz
Uhhhhhhh not actually a man washes his hands of ... uh blood? Idk maybe? Cleaning up before going to a social event that leaves others in gay crisis
WIP Wednesday
I'm going to hand out 2 this week. The first is from a Shadow/Al piece I've been working on (and of course Alden named himself again. What can I say? It's my signature at this point). The second is an excerpt from the current draft of Ch. 18; let the courting begin
I feel like everyone I talk to is on one side, so I'm really curious.
#radioapple
shippers, this one is for you. Who is your favorite character? Alastor or Lucifer?
I have a VERY religious/conservative family member who keeps coming into the room I'm writing in, wanting to hang out and talk and stuff... And I can't exactly get rid of them because how am I supposed to explain, "I'm writing very gay sex about the devil and a serial killer"?
OH MY LORD!!! CHAPTER 18 FANART OF THEM IN THE OUTFITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEBODY HELP ME I CAN'T BREATHE!! Lilith (The talent artist not the cunty character) EVEN DREW THE FLOWERS!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@itsfunkier
Nah. I'm firmly in camp Stolas and Lucifer would be best friends because they are both sad dads who try their best and have wives who drove wedges through their relationships. (And yes. I mean Lilith too. I will never forgive her for taking Charlie away in More than Anything).
Y'all Alden is a fucking menace, and words cannot describe how much I love him for it this chapter.
"Obedience is important." - Alden probably. For this PARTICULAR moment :P
Had the absolute pleasure of creating some cover art for the amazing crew that have been working hard to bring you the 'RadioApple A-Z' running October 1st - 26th

Words cannot describe how absolutely beautiful I find Russlan's art. It leaves me absolutely speechless. I am so in love with these images, and my heart is so full, at the same time it's emotional because of how beautifully this scene was captured. Thank you so much, Russ!!
I went from dreaming about a Stolitz resolution to radioapple getting stuck on earth and working as paranormal investigators. They were each exasperated with the other. Alastor kept egging on the ones he liked, and Lucifer kept collecting lost and scared little children ghosts.
Have you ever thought about how the color of the Pride ring is Red, and Charlie is the one who wears it. While Lucifer wears white - the presence of all colors. Becauze, you know. He's the big boss of Hell himself. Colors are cool.
(5am no sleep brain is fun)
OH MY GOSH. This is so exciting!!! I FINALLY just had the BREAKTHROUGH I needed on my Original Novel to finally explain the deeper lore's mythology and world building that FINALLY fills my characters' motivation gap to drive the story through to it's next draft!!!
OH. MY. GOSH!!!! IM OBSESSED!!!!!! The amount of details you put in!!! Like the daisies!!! And the corset threads!!!!! And his Lil SMIRK!!! I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!
Did I stay up up 6 in the morning on a work night to finish this? Maybe. But when the momentum hits you just have to ride it out. From Freed in a Deal 18!
@RadAppleKimchi
#HazbinHotelAlastor
OH FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK!! IT'S THE SCENE!!! THE BEST SCENE!!!! THE DESK SCENE!! this and the scene before it have lived rent free in my mind since the second they dropped. EVERYONE GO READ SCAMPS STUFF!!!!
After a weekend of panic attacks, bipolar drops and absolutely anxiety filled days, I'm still not done with FIAD 18. I think I need to just breathe for a day or two. I've got 11k words of failed starts and different versions and I just need to step back. Hopefully I'll post Wed.
Yeah ngl if somebody is expecting me to personally relate to radioapple, I fear for you. Hate to break it you all, but I'm neither the devil nor a serial-killer cannibal.
"You know when you're reading a fanfiction and you can tell the author hasn't been in the exact situation they're writing about or relates to it differently than me" I'm really tired of explaining to grown adults what storytelling is
I'm going to be brave this WIP Wednesday. I've mentioned 'Lucifer’s Lament' in regards to Freed in a Deal multiple times but haven't shared anything from it... well, I decided to give y'all an A capella sample of my favorite section. Please don't steal it or repost w/o credit.
Oh God.... this is fucking ME!!! I swear to fuck if there wasn't already a completed first draft to FiaD I'd be even more insane. But even still, knowing how much my edits grow, each new chapter still feels new to me. Guys, you aren't READY for some of the shit I'm gonna pull.
I (bipolar II) wish more people understood that feeling manic is not better than feeling depressive. If I say I'm manic that doesn't mean I'm in a good mood. Yes, it might heighten more of my positive emotions, but I'm more afraid of my manic side. It's irrational and impulsive.
Okay but here me out......
What if I named the shadow Alden in this story too?
My brain keeps thinking it. There's a perfect opportunity. And like... what if it's just my trademark? Like.. Kimchi will always name it Alden and that's okay? ?
Anyone opposed?
Oh, Also. I officially listed the Radio Demon's Accidental Cure for the Devil's Insomnia as part of a series on A03.
What do we think of the title: The Radio Demon's Purposeful Claiming of the Devil's Heart for part 2?
Holy fuck I did it.
Freed in a Deal Chapter Fifteen: Dealing with Sins is up!!
Literally going to cry! I managed it :( :( :( Thank you for all the support!!! I couldn't have stayed sane without you all!!
The good news: I finally, confidently, 100% am on the right track to ch 18. It finally feels like FiaD radioapple and not just radioapple.
The bad news: Wednesday is almost over. 🤣 we will see if I can somehow pull a chapter off tonight still. Might be tomorrow.
Many MANY MANY hours and 2 sore wrists later 🤣🤣 I am CAUGHT THE FUCK UP !! Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave a comment!! I love ALL of you!! If I missed anyone, come scream at me so I can love on you!! I appreciate all of you so much!!
I think my favorite part of Al being all snarky to Vaggie about how long a corset takes to unthread is the fact that his is a vest, and it has clasps in the front. So he didn't actually have to unthread it. But she couldn't even argue because she knows he's an extra bitch.
#RadioAppleWeek
Day 4: Drinking/Bonding
This might be one of my favorite chapters ever. Alastor's shadow really be playing a dangerous game. And Alastor gets drunk for the first time in his life. Completely by accident. It's an absolute delight.
OH!! I forgot!! WIP Wednesday!! Here's a little scene I cooked up for my recent 3 part smut fic :P The whole fic concept is very theoretical still, but this scene was stuck in my mind. NSFW!!!!!!! Like very, haha.
One little note. Because I've been absent for a bit and my mental health took a dive there for a bit, I have not been keeping up with replying to comments on A03. I've read each one, and appreciate each one.
It's so funny how my hyperfixations interfere when I'm engaging in other content. I just had the most random train of thought surrounding RadioApple and the movie The Holiday. Hear me out:
Lucifer's Lament will NOT FUCKING LEAVE MY BRAIN... I'm not a fucking composer but by GOD I'm gonna have to try because this silly little thing that just started out as lyrics based off of my Freed in a Deal Lucifer has a melody that WILL NOT leave my fucking mind!!!!
LOL! I just went to look up an image of Alastor's shadow on google to try and remember his exact features, and I straight up typed in "Hazbin Alden" Before I remembered that's just my headcanon... WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!?
sitting her wondering.... am I closer to posting the next chapter of FiaD or my VirginAl's Blood Sacrifice one-shot? IE which one should I WIP preview today.... hmmmm.
I CAN SLEEP BABY!!!
#RadioAppleWeek
Day 6: Sleeping/Dance
Y'all this was the hardest one for me, haha. BUT I FINISHED! I'm sure it's still the 8th somewhere, right? :P
Fun fact. Belphegor's android, Assyria1589 in ch. 17 is a combination of Easter eggs. In the Key of Solomon, Belphegor is listed as an Assyrian idol. And Binsfield's classifications from 1589 is where Belphegor was listed as Sloth 💜💜
#RadioAppleWeek
Day 7: Beach/Day Out
Welp. I didn't sleep. So even if it's 6:45 am for me... it still counts, right???
This week was SO MUCH FUN! Thank you to everyone who went on this crazy journey with me!! (HOW THE FUCK did I write 49k this week?)
If this is what you call 'trying', Lucifer help us when you decide to call something succeeding. Because fucking HELL I'm obsessed, horny, and just devilishly proud to call you friend 🤣
Trying my hand at some spicier
#radioapple
- first time I've drawn them without staring avidly at 20 references the entire time - probably gonna take a break from staring at it before I clean it/ink it/color it...but I live for Luci enjoying Al's need to lick and bite him!
Is anybody else the type who knows a mental breakdown would probably help? Like, sobbing ugly tears would probably be incredibly cathartic BUT you're simultaneously an emotional brick wall, when it's not fiction you're crying for? Just me?
I wish I had Alastor's tongue purely for the purpose of licking the last of my ice cream out of my bowl. (And yes. I had ice cream for lunch. Sometimes the mental health be healthing 🤣)
And Lucifer won. Which is interesting. He's my favorite, too - but everyone I've talked to in person has been alllll about Alastor. So color me intrigued 🤣🤣
I feel like everyone I talk to is on one side, so I'm really curious.
#radioapple
shippers, this one is for you. Who is your favorite character? Alastor or Lucifer?
Because I love all of you and appreciate your patience during RadioAppleWeek, here are two screenshots from Freed in a Deal Ch. 16's rough draft. Happy WIP Wednesday. 💜💜
Freed in a Deal Chapter Seventeen: Dealing with Loopholes is officially out!!! This one is a THICK one, and it was a LOT of fun!!!! I hope you enjoy!!!
@unilikesducks
My thing when I'm writing radioapple is emphasizing the dynamic of... Alastor being in charge because Luci LETS him. I THRIVE on making Luci BAMF and having Alastor be horny for it 🤣 if you like the dynamic but haven't read my stuff, that's my whole schtick.
@_deetea_
When it comes to RadioApple I like them so much together that seeing them in other ships is not for me. That being said, I understand the draws others feel to other ships. I've never understood fighting about ships. I'll defend my reasons for why I like them. But never fight.
ALSO, I have no idea if anybody knows Elden Ring or cares... but after rage quitting for over a year because I couldn't beat her, I went back to the game this weak and just kicked Malenia's ass. It feels good to be stubborn!!
There is nothing worse than knowing exactly what you want to write, knowing exactly how you want to write it, WANTING to write it, when your neurodivergent brain absolutely refuses to shut the fuck up and just fucking write it.
The pit of despair just be despairing in my tummy.
Does anyone else call Alastor's shadow Alden in your head because of Freed in a Deal? Because I 100% have to remind myself while writing other stories that it doesn't have a known name 🤣🤣
Don't we all just love that moment of inexplicable, no reason or rhyme or cause, heart-pounding, mind-clattering anxiety? The kind that sits in your chest quiet enough that you aren't fully crumbling, but loud enough that you are completely distracted?
So! Two things:
One: I changed my profile pic with permission from
@666ApplesFM
I couldn't resist the beautiful art <3
Two: Freed in a Deal Ch 18 is probably not going to be out until Saturday or Sunday. Unfortunately I have come down with a bit of a fever. I'm sorry!!!
