Can't express how stress free being open minded is.
Some lesbians use he/him? Oh cool.
Some people have people inside their head and sometimes it's fictional chars? Sick your brains like a pirate ship they're all working to run.
Some people like being treated like a pet dog? Bark bark bro.
Being fat isn't unhealthy but a perfectly normal type of body to have? Kinda beautiful how different we can all be.
Something doesn't make any fucking sense? Cool an opportunity to learn. And even if I can't figure it out it's cool we still have mysteries today.

INTJ: you are wrong
ENTP: your heart says otherwise ;)
INTJ: my heart states bullshit.
Saw this and I knew what had to be done.
Alastor uses his staff as a cane now and again, and every now and again, he might groan or grunt when he sits or bends, causing most to assume the radio demon suffers from back pain, but if asked, Alastor would honestly laugh at the idea of back pain being the thing that people thought might take him down at any point.
He didn't complain about it often and given his line of work, he did his best to hide it, so not many people knew that the infamous radio demon suffers from an injury that causes vocal cord paralysis.
This has been an issue for years and unbeknownst to most, Alastor has been going to therapy and doing exercises to help maintain his voice.
A lot of throat clearing and coughing, choking occasionally.
Alastor is quite insecure about the way he sounds when he talks, often feeling like his voice isn't his own since he can't always control the rasping sounds he makes as he speaks. It's one of the reasons he began using the voice filter on his radio show, and why he keeps the filter on more times than not; it's his voice.
Anger over how his voice sounds and the limitations it comes with.
Depression over the voice he lost. This does lead to a lot of depression naps.
Charlie brings Alastor cough drops and various types of tea often when she notices his persistent coughs or when she thinks he's losing his voice…. He won't admit it, but despite acting disgusted with the kind gesture, he loves the little care packages the princess puts together for him and he does try to relax with a cup of tea when things get particularly bad.
On the days he finds himself struggling the most to speak or breathe, he refuses to leave his room.
Very, very few people know this, but Alastor has actually done some pre recorded shows for his radio station and he plays them on the days he was supposed to be on air but can’t talk or feels his voice isn’t up to par with what he finds acceptable for the show.
Voice therapy…. His doctor has suggested surgery but the deer is deathly afraid of needles and surgery so he's turned that option down multiple times.
Prior to their falling out, Alastor confided in Vox and the TV demon was his only pillar of support through their friendship.
Mute days and vocal rest
Rosie scolding him for straining his voice when he doesn't have to but comforting him when he needs it.
Alastor is mildly terrified of going to the doctor in general, but especially when it comes to anything to do with his voice so Rosie goes with him to doctors appointments (she also holds his hand when he has to get blood work done or anything of that nature, but Alastor will deny that if asked)
Although Vox and Rosie both know about the problems the radio demon has with his voice, Husk is the only one that knows that the problem was brought on by trauma. The hellcat wasn’t supposed to find out, but much like Mimzy mentions, when Alastor has had a bit to drink, he’s a lot more friendly and during a bout of drinking, he overshared a bit with the bartender he staffed.
While Alastor has never been very religious, he prays for his voice to return to what it was before.
