AppleMedia is the poly ship between Lucifer Morningstar, Alastor and Vox from the Hazbin Hotel fandom.
Canon[]
Alastor, Lucifer, and Vox's relationship is exclusively characterized by mutual hatred, bitter rivalry, and fierce competition, with the two Overlords and the King of Hell exhibiting a profound disdain for one another and no positive or cooperative interactions. The rivalry between Alastor and Lucifer began immediately upon their meeting, primarily revolving around Charlie Morningstar. Lucifer, feeling threatened by Alastor's support of his daughter's hotel, became insecure about his father-daughter bond and engaged in a petty competition for Charlie's attention. They constantly mock each other, with Alastor frequently teasing Lucifer about his height. Although their status and power levels are vastly different, Alastor is not intimidated by Lucifer, and the show's creator stated there is a form of mutual respect between them regarding their power, even as they remain scorned rivals. This rivalry continues in subsequent encounters, with Lucifer mocking Alastor's defeat by Adam, and Alastor's shadow purposely spilling coffee on Lucifer's suit when he resigned.
Alastor and Vox's relationship is defined by intense rivalry fueled by a history of betrayal and Vox's unrequited obsession. They were once associates 70 years ago, and Vox genuinely admired Alastor, even asking for a partnership, only to be cruelly rejected and publicly ridiculed by Alastor. This foundational trauma led to a deep-seated, long-standing feud rooted in their opposing views on technology, pitting Radio against Video. Vox harbors a fierce grudge and a continued, one-sided obsession, which Alastor is fully aware of and mercilessly exploits. Alastor revels in manipulating and mocking Vox, even using a deal to briefly get imprisoned by him to strategically turn him against his fellow Vees. Their hatred culminated in a decisive duel where Alastor, having tricked Vox into breaking their agreement, taunted him to the point of a complete mental breakdown, risking the destruction of the city just to kill his rival.
Lucifer and Vox are also enemies, though their interactions are limited. When Lucifer went to confront Vox for badmouthing Charlie, Vox successfully humiliated the King of Hell in public, leveraging the knowledge that Lucifer cannot physically harm a Sinner due to a divine punishment. This confrontation established Vox's willingness to challenge the King's authority. Their conflict peaked when Vox successfully tricked and kidnapped Lucifer, utilizing angelic cuffs to siphon his angelic power as a source for his massive weapon. The only canonical scene where all three characters were present occurred during Lucifer's kidnapping, where Vox, having successfully trapped Lucifer using a voice recording of Charlie, stood triumphant over both the captive King of Hell and the bound Radio Demon, relishing his temporary victory over his two most significant enemies while Lucifer and Alastor immediately began bickering with each other from their restraints.

This section is in need of major improvement. Please help improve this article by editing it.
AppleMedia is a rarepair in the Hazbin Hotel fandom. Though there is support of the ship mostly due to both RadioApple and RadioStatic being popular ships in the fandom already. With AppleMedia being seen as a way prevent a ship war. As well as it being one of the poly ships that has helped StaticApple gain support. Because of the attention surrounding AppleMedia, as well the three separate ships that it was combined with, it has allowed the poly ship to grow and expand into two other poly ships, AppleMediaMoth and AdamsStaticAppleRadio. The ship name comes from Radio and TV both being types of media, and Lucifer's symbol being an apple.
When the official season two trailer show cased a brief clip of Lucifer and Alastors' faces on the steps Vox walks on, it got supporters of the ship excited. With it being the first canon scene that comes close to a AppleMedia moment, before "Weapon of Mass Distraction" aired and showcased a scene of all three characters together on screen.
