RadioDoll is the friendship between Alastor and Velvette from the Hazbin Hotel fandom.
Canon[]
Alastor and Velvette are two of Hell's overlords, that specialize in different types of media. Radio and social media. Vel is much younger than Alastor, with him being in Hell far longer than she has, but she was still able to climb up the ranks to Overlord. Although Alastor is shown to be on good terms with a few other overlords, he mostly keeps to himself, while Velvette is part of a power hungry group of overlords known as the Vees.
The two may not have interact in the first season, but they are shown to be aware of each other. With Vel working beside Alastor's rival, Vox, and during the song "Stayed Gone" Velvette is seen agreeing with Alastor's statement of Vox being powerless without her and Valentino's support. Vel may not be invested in Vox's fixation on Alastor, she does attend a meeting that relates to the Radio Demon and how to prevent him from making a deal with Charlie Morningstar.
Their paths cross in "Scrambled Eggs," as they attend a meeting between overlords about the upcoming extermination. Although the two don't speak to one another, Alastor does listen to Velvette speak and says "tasty" after she brought out the severed head of a dead exorcist. In order to convince the other overlords to expect the Vees' plan to bring the fight to Heaven, now knowing that angels can be killed; but Alastor sides with Zestial over Velvette. Since they don't know how the angel died or by who, though Velvette suspecting Carmilla Carmine and confronting her about it, does get Alastor to look into it after she left. Despite Velvette being the reason Carmilla cuts meeting short, Alastor says that it was an conducive meeting. Along with Alastor planning to save the information he obtained for a rainy day. As it allowed him to convince Charlie to make a deal with him, in exchange for the information on how to fight back against the angels.
Unknown to Alastor, Velvette was watching his battle with Adam, beside her fellow Vees within the safety of V Tower. Though she wasn't too interested in it, like Vox was, and mostly spend the final episode looking at her phone. With Alastor believed to be missing, after the injured Radio Demon retreated from battle (but later reappears after the hotel was rebuild), Velvette and the Vees make plans to shake things up in Hell.
They interact further in "It's A Deal", with Velvette and Valentino helping Vox when Alastor calls him to fight out in the streets, with Velvette asking to film his death. She fights Alastor one-on-one and puts up a poll on her social media to ask if she should kill him, although he manages to take her down rather easily, and Velvette soon becomes distracted with fighting Husk when he accidentally ruins her hair. Eventually, Alastor and Vox make a deal, and Alastor becomes the Vees' prisoner. Velvette accompanies the others while humiliating Alastor in a parade to celebrate their victory.
By the time "Scream Rain" comes round, Valentino and Velvette are slowly getting annoyed with Vox slowly taking over everything, and Velvette is shown to be very neutral towards Alastor while he is their captive, sitting with him. The two, however, do get along in mocking Vox and take amusement as Valentino throws his drink at him.
Vivziepop has officially said that, if the writers had more time and episodes for Season 2, they would have liked to show Alastor and Velvette interact more, and she believes that Alastor would willingly hang out with Velvette in the V Tower, noting they would 'weirdly get along'.
Fanon[]
RadioDoll is one of the rarepairings of the Hazbin Hotel fandom, as well as it being one of the ships between the show's overlord characters. Back when Alastor was simply suspected to only let himself be touch by women and keep his distance from men, from the way he acts and notes on his past, it had fans feel that Velvette would be the Vee Alastor would choose to trust. Despite knowing that the Radio Demon has history with Vel's fellow Vee, Vox. Although Alastor revealed to be Asexual didn't stop some people from shipping him with other characters, with Viviziepop saying that she doesn't mind, Velvette confirmed to be a Lesbian has others rethink RadioDoll's ship type. As well as drawing attention away from it; whenever it's not treated as a friendship.
After Viviepop said that she would have liked the writers to add in other scenes between Alastor and Velvette in the tower, if they weren't limited to 8 episodes, it inspired fans to create artworks of the two hanging out and forming a friendship of sorts. Some of the fanart have Velvette wearing the clothes she wore in "Scream Rain," as that was the episode she is seen with Alastor in a casual-like manner. While "It's A Deal" had them fighting as enemies.
On AO3, there are currently 35+ works for RadioDoll.
