So I was recently reminded of Alastor being like "Oh Vox! You had to have Carmilla build your weapon for you!"

Yes... She's the weapon expert.

And?

That's like being mad at Jeff Bezos for not building the Amazon website and handing it off to Alex Edelman and Shel Kaphan. Never mind the fact that Bezos commissioned them, was the visionary behind the project, and had the idea for it himself! (Not trying to glaze him, just trying to prove a point)

Because he didn't personally code the website himself how dare he say that he did this.

Like... Vox commissioned the weapon, convinced Carmilla ON HIS OWN (Velvette was not helpful in the slightest), funded the whole thing, got them the battery source himself, probably drew up the plains for the weapon, AND was the one actually firing the dang thing while Carmilla sat with her thumb up her butt not having an off switch on what was essentially a nuke...

Because he didn't Personally build the weapon himself how DARE he say that it's his.

Need I remind everyone that Carmilla has a whole FACTORY of workers... even her own DAUGHTERS!! Hm, okay... so It's okay for CARMILLA as THEIR boss to take the credit but not for VOX as her CLIENT who COMMISSIONED HER WITH THE IDEA IN THE FIRST PLACE to give himself credit?

Hm... okay, okay...

I just like to imagine that the working conditions in her factory are as bad or worse than the ones in modern America. Like people have died a lot in food production facilities, imagine the casualties in a weapons manufacturing facility that produces angelic arms.

So in Ch394 Saheon has a fit over supposedly not being trusted, compared to Jin Nasol.

Except he was trusted.

So, ch394 line:

Seems like Soleum could trust Jin Nasol and thus tell her everything, unlike Saheon, and didnt even warn him beforehand

Except, in Ch392...

Soleum did tell him about his cooperation with Jin Nasol. He didnt keep it a secret and fully trusted Saheon with everything. And it should be obvious, knowing Soleum's true personality, that cooperation means helping her.

IN FACT, it's interesting because the opposite didn't happen: Soleum never told Jin Nasol about Saheon. She only finds out by seeing him.

Obviously Saheon wasn't hurt over this alone; there's a lot he's going through. But he might not have lashed out at this point if he'd taken note, or not misunderstood.

spaeltiaRebloggedblazedhsFollow395saheon got happy because soleum listened to him over himself, because soleum shares his judgement and is on the same page, because ITS FRUSTRATING to not be when he wants it so much, because for saheon it makes sense to self preserve and he wants to know he IS RIGHT, that he, saheon, thinks right and did right. it's a validation because kim soleum as an agent was his jiminy cricket, for the first time in his lonely wooden pinocchio life of being raised in a cult there is selfless kindness, unheard and unfelt before, that he rejects but also welcomes in a agonizing self conflict and he wants to know the extent of that kindness that he should parrot if to get on the same page with soleum and he is glad he will not have to bend himself more for something that he views as pure stupidity, he is relieved. he feels understood, seen, heard, he feels connected.baek saheon is an incredibly lonely companion starved person that will not open up just for anyone at the same time, and since he is self aware of what it takes for him to feel closeness he feels possessive of the emotions he receives back, he wants acknowledgement, recognition, he wants gratitude. if I feel this way for you, if I do this for you, you should feel thankful because you are the chosen one and so with that he wants that chosen one to be one with himself. 1228

spaeltiaRebloggedeardunFollowSome wild thoughts on Baek Saheon’s name and future role in the story (spoilers ahead): Go Youngeon says his black goat mask is the symbol of a devil.Kim Soleum calls him an “ideal” Daydream employee because his traits align with their ideology (he’s selfish, does everything for personal gain, climbs over others, etc.).His surname, Baek (백), matches the first syllable of Baekilmong, 백일몽 (“Daydream Inc.”). The hanja for 백 usually reads as “white” (白).We all know Daydream Inc. is a pharmaceutical company. Since antiquity, the snake has symbolized pharmacy—coiled around a cup or bowl—and you still see it on storefronts, prescription bags, and professional insignia. There are also “feathered serpents,” which is interesting because, in the Jisan Village arc, Saheon had a feather pinned to his shirt.Soleum’s test-subject name is 130666, and some fans noticed that if you sum the digits, 1+3+0+6+6+6 = 22 → 2+2 = 4. In Korea and other Asian countries, 4 is considered worse luck than 13 and is associated with death. Soleum’s birthday is also Sept 13th, and 13 → 1+3 = 4!This is where it gets interesting: in Korean, 4 is 사 (sa), the same syllable in 백사헌 (Baek Saheon). "Sa” is also homophonous with “death.”Around ch. 220, Soleum stumbles into a bunker of the Church of the Luminous Unknown. Braun oddly comments how there are no goats, sacrifices, or pentagrams (the usual “devil” symbols). Searching for a way out, they discover the bunker is right underneath Jisan Village—right where Saheon's from! The well there also turns out to be a sort of portal between places. Coincidence? I think not!Saheon is a classic “white/black lotus” or “haraguro” (하라구로) character: nice and polite on the outside, but scheming (sometimes wicked, even) on the inside. Recently, they released official gsgw merch that included the employee orientation notebook with the line that said: “Act as Baekilmong-in, with strict ethics and a sense of social responsibility.” Ironic, isn’t it? Daydream couldn’t be further from ethics and responsibility. But it strangely fits Saheon’s vibe: white and “ethical” on the outside, shady on the inside, being able to easily turn on you at any time.Saheon also pops up in almost every arc—Manor of the Blind, Mountain Lodge, Tamra, Mermaid’s Tomb (even the current one)!And a final interesting detail: I saw tweets saying Soleum’s silver ring has a snake pattern. I don’t personally remember this, but in Dark Exploration Records, Soleum’s current ring belonged to an unidentified employee who had been in Segwang High, Tamra, and Segwang City. Could it be Baek Saheon (or his some kind of alternate self)? I definitely saw more interesting details, but I’ll stop here before this spirals into something huge and I go down the rabbit hole with it, lol. Hope this was fun and gave you some things to think about ☺️1343271
spaeltiaRebloggedmaganbeeFollowKSE wastes so much time in the looky mart arc agonizing about what Bronze did in the original timeline when he should be smart enough to figure out that OG timeline Bronze got murked in the serial killer arc when he made the mistake of cornering BSH1178

spaeltiaRebloggedmiyuukiaFollowJisan arc and beyond spoilers ......... How did baek saheon not know kim soleum was the agent....... Whenever i live with someone long enough i can recognize them by their footsteps...... Surely saheon has realized it by the time he sees kse again while hes undercover as a researcher at daydream :((((carpediemisnicebuticannot(GSGW NOVEL SPOILERS)I'm gonna call it the "Clark Kent effect" or "(detective) Conan effect". It didn't work on the Bureau members, but it worked on Saheon really well. Adding on to that, his denial phase must be pretty strong. I mean, a psychopath who finds my pain & suffering entertaining (and probably wants to torture me whenever I'm around him) is the SAME GUY as the most selfless & kindest agent from the bureau, an organization for saving people's lives. (Part 2 spoilers)Keep readingcows-quackKeep readingmaganbeeI mean idk if he woulda recognized him easily. they didn't live together for long and actively avoided each other. Kse is the kind of lunatic who thinks stuff like "I subtly hunched my shoulders and messed up my hair to look like I'm traumatized and lack confidence" I can't imagine the elaborate acts he must've put on for Saheon during the short time they lived together. Then again he recognized Agent Bronze just by his shitty attitude so he's pretty attentive.Let me think, the agent messages him months after jisan, he doesn't see kse again till he's forced to join Director Ho's project. The conversation with the agent had to have made the truth somewhat obvious but he drops the conversation and doesn't try asking again, when he meets The Agent disguised as a researcher he reaches for his eye patch but seems to change his mind. Why would he do that? This guy who trusts nothing and no one. If he thought the agent wasn't kse why not look at him with his purple eye? Because he suspects it's kse and because he's terrified of it being true. When he sees the researcher who kse disguised himself as and tries to talk to him? Only to find out he wasn't really The Agent? What a slap to the face. Rather than Saheon not knowing it Kim Soleum it's him being in denial and gripping at any chance to find out it wasn't him. What a terrifying thought the one person alive who meant anything to him was actually this inhuman monster guy who loves to terrorize him. 41967
spaeltiaRebloggedmccromyFollowI didn't ship solsah/sahsol initially because the whole appeal of it was how funny it's that kse pretends to be deranged as a preemptive measure, but that appeal ends once bsh realizes is all a ruse. But now I can see it. For starters, Kim Soleum genuinely enjoys terrorizing Baek Saheon??? He likes putting him in his place????? Those are his exact words???????? He developed a sadistic streak exclusively for Baek Saheon's benefit.Also, Kim Soleum can ALWAYS tell what Baek Saheon is thinking. Can predict everything Baek Saheon will do (this leads me to believe I'm Viper was his Favorite DER character)Baek Saheon LIKES Kim Soleum's personality. He was so taken by ''Agent Grape'' 😭 he still thinks about him months after meeting him. Had Kim Soleum not decided to psychologically torture him, I'm pretty sure Baek Saheon would be right there with all the other men of gsgw, trying to pry him away from Braun's tender grip.When Baek Saheon got a special pen that allowed him to hypnotize people he hypnotized Kim Soleum into not noticing him 😭 he's so scared of him he didn't take advantage of it, didn't even humiliate him or make him do his bidding. Kim Soleum gave him an eye to replace the one he lost💕THEY ARE ROOMMATES 265396
spaeltiaRebloggedsquidandsunfishFollowSolsah dynamic and the eye I think we don’t talk enough about the fact that Kim soleum gave baek saheon his eye after being the reason the he lost it in the first place. Every time he looks in his reflection he will see that eye he got as a “gift”. Every time he is reminded of him. Does he despise him? I don’t know The only thing I know is that he is undoubtedly linked to him through this eye. like, the same eye is also the reason that he can always identify kim soleum (beside the one time he didn’t realised his crush was his evil roommate and he went in deep denial). In a way he is attuned to him and only him and I love that about them. (And let’s not talk that despise his fake persona Kim soleum actually ENJOYS to bully him specifically and also always saves him and gives him good items) (and then there is the whole agent grapes situation where bsh realises who he is but does NOT want to acknowledge is till the end and still tried to help him and give advice through the stupid paper boat (after waiting 6 months for an answer and then instantly replying ) and when Kim soleum came as himself to him for help in +350 so that he could draw cards for this weird candle he also instantly helped him and was lowkey worried about him and then in the last chapter he brought the remaining juice for the wish ticket even with his main trait being a selfish egoist)I know that this ship is not as popular as others but for me, I love the dynamic between them cause the show each other a side of themself nobody knows about. I am normal about them. 6557

spaeltiaRebloggedcaptaincat3110FollowPerhaps a controversial opinion, but I feel like the whole hype around "The Rerun" really signals how murdermedia is a ship that has been watered down for the masses to consume. I love human radiostatic, I've loved it since before their human designs became canon, but it's been increasingly hard to find works that don't feature dog!vincent and emotionless!alastor. hyperthusiastHonestly, this is my problem with a lot of murdermedia, too. I haven't been able to put it into words, but a watered down version of RadioStatic is spot on. Like obviously they have to feel a little different as humans (I believe them becoming demons made them more of what they already were, but there still has to be a change there), but it should still feel like them. And yeah, with the first couple dog!Vincent posts I was like 'ha ha, okay', but when that's 90% of how Vincent is characterized in murdermedia, it's kind of started to annoy me. (But I also get annoyed when people characterize Vox as just a pathetic loser and ignore how competent he is when he doesn't have Alastor messing with his head, so I'm kind of used to it.)61995
spaeltiaRebloggedzhuhongsFollowUpon rereading tgcf, one of the biggest complaints I have is how lackluster all the extra chapters were. literally none of them were good and all contained rlly gross and harmful sentiments (like the amnesia one which.. yea.. or all the things implying xl should get pregnant for hc thus equating gay relationships with hetero ones and playing into the wife thing and just GOD I HATE MXTX) There were a lot of little plot points i wish that had been further elaborated on more in the extras as opposed to hualian being … like that. I had enough. Like mdzs had actaully good extras (minus the incense burners) that were nice side stories that elaborated more on the characters. Like the hook one with the juniors was so cute and i loved seeing them grow more. Or the lotus pod extras omg.. im such a lotus pod extra stan. those were so cute and gave us a lot of good insight into just how lovestruck lwj was during the times when he didn’t see wwx. mxtx should’ve stuck to those sorta extras in tgcf but NOOO. SO I have a list of so many other more interesting things those chapters couldve been spent on like:A resolution on He Xuan’s revenge and his character arc. Bc its implied He Xuan is still hanging out and watching over sqx and that taking revenge didn’t fully satisfy him bc ok.. yea shi wudu is dead but he xuans family will never come back. Now what does he have to live for?? i wish we couldve seen a look into his life during the entire ordeal. like a chapter from his perspective while he was posing as Ming Yi  and maybe a look at a conversation btw he xuan and the real ming yi or a chapter after SQX was banished to see what he’s doing now. Also what did he xuan owe hua cheng money for anyways?? Like ik not every little thing has to be explained but I Want to Know. PLEASE more goth boyfriend content now I just wanna see him :,((a better resolution of yin yu and quan yizhens storyline. im still mad abt how that plot point was split btw books 3 and 5  when it was rlly out of place and  there were other more pressing plot matters and it just rlly deserved more time. Also i thought yin yu died!?!?!? but apparently one of the extras says he’s alive and man… i;m not reading any more of the extras to see that, give me a full yin yu and quan yizhen chapter.. fuck.a day in the life of the guoshi fangxin or general hua PLEASE especially like one where hua cheng was SO CLOSE to meeting xie lian but had no clue that xie lian was there at the time but the two did smth that inadvertantly helped the other and they still were connected even though they hadnt met omg pls that’d be so nice. like imagine Hua cheng catching a glimpse of the guoshi in public in yong’an while he’s trying to follow some lead that points to xie lian or maybe following a lead to capture qi rong bc he said he knew qi rong was a part of the yong’an stuff and originally thought the guoshi was one of qi rongs pawns. like can you IMAGINE him getting so close. but at the last second he did smth small that impacted xie lian. like they bumped into eachother on the street or smth. god i’d go crazyOR vice versa.. like a day in the life of the young ghost king hua cheng. Like again, one of my biggest issues was that hua cheng just knew everything and its never really explained how he got all of that info. like yes he’s been alive very long and has eyes and ppl working for him everywhere but like… how did he build that network?? I’d love to see a chapter of young ghost king hua cheng travelling around trying to learn as much as he can abt the world and how it can help bring him to xie lian. and the two maybe are in the same kingdom for a bit and they don’t meet exactly but hua cheng stops some fight or something and helps xie lian indirectly or maybe xie lian is performing on the street in some costume and hua cheng doesn’t recognize him and smiles and gives him a coin or smth. idk i’m just dying for any sorta extra chapter or fic like that. i’m honestly so tempted to write my own but i cant writealso!! we’ve seen how xie lian picks up people down on their luck near him and show them kindness (like banyue, lang ying, xiao ying, he tried to with san lang but we know how that ended lmao) so i’d love to see another little vignette of him doing that on his travels and how every person he meets teaches him smth about life and being a good person and idk, i just think it’d be rlly sweet. i love this facet of his character and feel like we didn’t see enough of it towards the end.ALSO hua cheng only seems to respect one heavenly official besides xie lian and thats yushi huang.. i assume thats mostly bc she was the only one to help xie lian and let him use the rain master hat to bring water to yong’an. I was thinking maybe when he was a new supreme he had run into trouble and maybe was picked up by the rain master and helped him heal and in return he promised to help protect her village from harm in the future. Like i know a heavenly official wouldn’t cooperate with a ghost like that but yushi huang is different and doesn’t really care about the heavens so i think she would protect him if he could do something to benefit her village. ik this is kinda far fetched but when he first became a supreme I’m sure a bunch of ppl probably tried to mess with him and didn’t rlly believe him to be undefeatable bc he hadn’t proved himself yet also i doubt all his power came overnight. he had to learn how to use it once he escaped the kiln. and some group probably thought they could weaken him somehow. I’m thinking maybe a rlly well formed group of ghosts actually caught him off guard once and he had to retreat and was picked up by the rain master and stayed with her and learned from her a bit. i think it’d be a cool concept also i just rlly want more yushi huang content and i’m on their friendship agenda bc he rlly did seem to actually respect her when she first appeared and i think it’d be cool if the two had some history together.Also idrc if this was addressed I couldve missed it But!! Did xie lian ever tell Hua cheng that the reason he got the curse shackles and was banished again in the first place wasnt bc jun wu wanted to punish him, but because he requested it. And specifically requested it bc he felt guilty abt letting wu ming take the human face disease and disperse for his sake. So he took the shackles and descended to atone for that?? Bc I dont recall hua cheng learning that bc his soul was already dispersed at that point so it didnt follow him and xie lian didnt say anything so uhhh… someone should tell hua cheng that. Like I dont think xie lian rlly said how much hua cheng meant to him and didnt show him he was loved in grand ways. Like xie lian did always care for bc in other ways but I think if hua cheng learned abt this on screen it wouldve been such a great moment and I’m rlly surprised mxtx didnt address this iirc!?!? Like imagine jun wu telling Hua cheng this in the kiln bc xie lian wouldnt say it himself. Imagine how cool that would be.Also a small thing adding into the whole young ghost king Hua cheng stuff. Its implied and p much stated that hua cheng isnt his real name. That he likely doesnt have a real name bc his parents died? (It’s not clear. I’m still mad at mxtx for not making his childhood clearer). So I’d like to see when and why hua cheng chose that name for himself. The new tgcf ending song kinda hints at its meaning with the lyrics “for you I’d fill a city of flowers” as xie lian is the flower wielding martial god so it’s probably inspired by that. Also xie lian saved hua cheng from leaping off the city walls but I’d love to hear him say it bc the implication of his name didnt dawn on me for quite a bit and I dont know if everyone made the connection. Again I sure as hell didnt. So itd be cool to see a chapter that takes place in his past after just ascending as a supremeOverall I rlly think tgcf had a lot more potential to be even better and a lot of that comes down to fleshing out the side characters and letting hualian have more of a storyline independent of one another. like i know the appeal and message of tgcf is that through love, people can overcome anything, but fuck man. i just wanna see what these two (mostly hua cheng) where like in the absence of each others presence. Part of what I really liked abt mdzs is that we got to see that longing develop btw wangxian when the two weren’t together and how they thought about each other and did things in thei others spirit bc they knew the other wouldve done the same thing. but whatever, mxtx was too consumed by her own unhealthy idea of what devotion and true love looks like but still. i rlly think the extras couldve helped the story be better rather than be fujoshi fuel that i try to bleach from my mind -_-21136
spaeltiaReblogged itsallalldeadairwatchmebitchFollowAnonymous asked: Ik that Alastor does canonically have a moral code- he was described as being more like Dexter Morgan than Hannibal Lecter for a reason- but I think it applied more in life than death? The show implies that he targeted bigots, and I'm sure you couldn't throw a stone in the Deep South back then without hitting a few KKK members. In death, he's running off the general assumption that everyone was put in Hell for a reason, thus they're all more or less fair game. But I'm also thinking of that dubiously canon 'Day in the Life' comic, where he saves a female sheep Sinner from being raped by killing and eating her attacker, and wondering where that would land on the scale.watchmebitch answered:This is where I’ve got to take issue with us characterizing everything that anyone affiliated with the show has ever said on a livestream or podcast or social media as “canonical.” The show shows us one of Alastor’s targets, and I think we can probably extrapolate from that that Alastor did kill bigots (or at least it happened once). I also think we can extrapolate from human Alastor telling Rosie that he wanted to “continue his fun” that he was not cosplaying the Punisher or Dexter Morgan or what have you—he was killing because he likes it. This is also where I’m going to go out on a dangerous limb for a white girl but I will stand with my girl Charlie Morningstar by saying: I do not actually think the punishment for bigotry should be death? Granted I also don’t think the punishment for murder should be death, I just don’t believe in the death penalty at all, so maybe that doesn’t mean much coming from me. The biggest problem I have with people on the “Alastor has a moral code” train is that it’s usually a very short skip for these kinds of fans to go from “Alastor has a reason for killing” to “and the reason is pretty valid actually” and like—it’s not, though. Alastor doesn’t become a “better person” than, e.g., Valentino if it turns out that he primarily hunted and murdered racists for sport as opposed to primarily hunting and murdering some less morally repugnant type of person for sport. Honestly, it kind of just feels like you’re looking for an excuse to cheer on hunting and murdering people for sport. But you don’t need an excuse. You can just find the serial killer to be a fun character without trying to white knight his serial killing. I think Alastor probably killed a ton of people who didn’t deserve it and that’s an interesting character beat to explore. 11242

spaeltiaReblogged hyperthusiasttboyquackityFollowok so the thing that makes the radiostatic rejection scene extra crazy to me is. we see the kind of person vox is. very vain, very selfish, very closed off...he never took a partner in life, nothing romantically and no friendships, and he actively refused sharing the spotlight with anyone who could possibly get in his way. but he wanted alastor. they knew eachother for years. close for longer than that. people Know us. people Love us. the amount of outs he keeps giving alastor when he jabs at him. how badly vox is shattered by the whole thing, decades and decades later.vox isn't the kind of person who would've put himself out there. much less to someone as cruel as alastor can be. if he wasn't practically certain alastor would say yes. tboyquackityand it's crucial to remember WHY vox would think that. because alastor let him. alastor let HIMSELF behave that way!! equally vain, equally selfish, equally closed off alastor ALLOWED this to happen. vox says we've been close for years and alastor AGREES. vox says they're known as a duo and alastor AGREES. alastor who hates vulnerability more than anything, cooing and giggling at vox, drinking with him openly, letting things slide he'd never even tolerate from anyone else and not minding it, him treating vox specifically in such a way that was Notable Enough for them Both to be considered a Set. people Know Us!the reason alastor reacts so strongly during the bar scene, the reason he REFUSES to take the outs vox hands him, the reason he digs his heel in and doesn't let up is because he's scared. because it snuck up on him too. that affection that companionship their routine and the want for it. what could be more terrifying to a person as paranoid and lonely as alastor to hear the words vox was saying and almost find himself believing them. what a joke!655108

spaeltiaRebloggeddarkstarofchaosFollowThe recent fic recs have me thinking about Vox and Velvette's dynamic in canon vs fanon, and wondering why the fandom made the choices it made. And why it decided that their relationship is defined, specifically, by ageism and sexism. Against all canon evidence to the contrary.Like, sure, S1 only had one episode where they interacted (plus a phone call and Velvette as a silent presence in the finale), so fans had to fill in most of their dynamic. But a lot of common fanon, especially for Velvette, is actively contradicted by S1. For example, her being annoyed by Vox and Valentino's relationship, when she literally spends the Vees' part of Finale recording the two dancing, then taking a selfie with them kissing behind her. She has never been shown to have an issue with them (or with displays of affection, which is another common Velvette portrayal that runs counter to S1).The only piece of Velvette's fanon dynamic with Vox that makes sense when based exclusively on S1 is her being ageist towards him, because she is canonically (and aggressively) ageist. Except even this falls apart when you consider that she finds no fewer than nine ways to call Zestial and Carmilla old in the span of three minutes, but never once uses such language against Vox. Not in S1, not in S2. Not even when she's mad at him. If she cares about his age at all, she respects him too much to talk to him like that.In fact, S1 just overall gives the appearance of an affectionate, mutually respectful relationship. Velvette clearly doesn't feel like she has to prove anything to Vox, because she has no problem calling him in to deal with Valentino, and Vox doesn't try to offer help she doesn't need. She rolls her eyes when he observes that she has everything under control in her studio, but she's smiling a little when she does it. And while Vox seems to be on edge about the Overlord meeting, given it sounds like he's checking on her when she arrives, he still trusted her to go in his place (between the importance of the meeting and the fact that it's the first time she's filled in for him, I'd argue some anxiety is understandable here). The call itself is casual and playful on Velvette's end.And S2 builds on this dynamic of affection and respect. When they visit the hotel, Vox takes the lead conversationally, but he leaves Velvette to do her work as she sees fit. He knows she's good at her job and trusts her implicitly to get what they need. And of course, they're joking with each other and having fun the whole time. And in turn, Velvette doesn't take offense to it when Vox steps in to protect her, either at the hotel or when she and Val are attacked by Alastor. She can absolutely take care of herself, but she seems to know and accept that Vox is just Like That.If sex/gender played any prominent role in their dynamic, they would not interact with each other the way they do. Vox would not be willing to let Velvette do her own thing with minimal interference while they're working on the same project. He would not be caught dead taking tea with her in a violently pink and purple room. He wouldn't tolerate the way she frequently talks to him like a female friend (frankly, if gender plays any role in their dynamic, it's in the way Velvette treats Vox, not the other way around. And he just lets her do it).On that note, "fragile masculinity" needs to be put on a shelf until y'all learn what it actually is. Or until you can give me a clear example of Vox displaying masculine insecurity in a context unrelated to Alastor.I'll wait.In conclusion, the disparity between their canon relationship - even just in S1 - and the fandom interpretation is baffling. I can only assume that it's a result of real world biases against men and women, or people from different generations, being friends and having things in common. Because it has not let up, even six months after S2xE3 aired and gave us a damn good look at their relationship.Also, it's a popular headcanon that Vox and Alastor can communicate through radio waves, and that it's unique to just the two of them. But no one ever talks about the fact that Vox and Velvette canonically have a seemingly unique method of communicating. So here. Magical video calls.1995281
spaeltiaHot Take - In the past, Alastor likely never called vox as 'vincent', at least not casually.Yes he knew his name, but he would still call him Vox. We saw in the bar scene that he called him vox there too.But when it came to putting him down in his place, he called him Vincent,to show us how close they were that he even knew his human name.#pls don't kill me for this#i mean no harm#i had to get this off my chest#alastor#vox#radiostatic#hazbin hotel#vincent#sparks duo#voxal#hot take#there i said it854
spaeltiaAm I tweaking or what? Vox?Alastor?Radiostatic? Cause that's literally vox color omgHe's def gonna remain an important character till the end!#hazbin hotel#alastor#vox#radiostatic#season 5#announcement1224189
spaeltiaReblogged hyperthusiastcomic-sans-chanFollowThe thing that's extra crazy about Alastor's pupils getting all big when he looks at Vox is that Vox is a fucking television. Pupils are meant to get smaller in the light to prevent damage. Vox's face is bright af. Like, how gorgeous does Vox have to look to Alastor for his pupils to DILATE while staring into his massive beacon-ass lighthouse of a face? The amount of dopamine and oxytocin pouring into that freak in Vox's presence has gotta be astronomical. 1124415

spaeltiaReblogged hyperthusiastwhimsilussFollowOne of the radiostatic concepts i love is vox and alastor both adopting each other's habits rather than it only being vox who copies alastor. I think they are already very similar at their core but also picked up a lot from each other over the course of their relationship. like how alastor had the knowledge to film his own commercial and had the tech knowledge to do soand i also really like the idea that he unconsciously or consciously adopted the shoulder touch move from vox since we know that's something vox does a loti just think there's no way he wasn't influenced by vox in any way after 70 years of knowing each other541242
spaeltiaRebloggedkotomkaFollowIs Alastor jealous of Vox towards Valentino? (part 1 of 2)Let's talk about some important stuff! I'll give you food for thought.While watching Hazbin Hotel i couldn't get rid of this idea, i'm not delusional i swear! The first thing that Alastor does after Valentino interrupts Al and Vox's conversation with his "too much information" comment was that he attacked him instead of Vox, though Vox is suppose to be his like.. main enemy, "the person he hates the most", and a second before Alastor says "I don't think Vox would want the public to see me put him on his place a second time." But still he is aiming at Valentino, which Vox prevents.When performing his little shadow show for Vox Alastor puts himself between Vox and Val, even makes him stand aside from the Vees like as if he were an outsider of the group (a small distance can be seen in the picture).Next part is gonna be weird, please skip it if you are not ready for these kind of crumbs. The show doesn't give me a proper explanation what all of these scenes mean, so i have a free will to interpret it.After the ah... really interesting scene. Alastor starts a speech and makes sure that Valentino hears it. He says to Vox "Don't want to be reminded of how desprate you were for attention...", "You found me... what was it... ispiring". And other stuff to show that he is more important to Vox than anyone else.And also some phrases that caught my attention, because i thought it was something like Chekhov's gun but it didn't really play an important part in the plot, just remove them and nothing will change. So i consider it as interesting part of Alastor character who is seeking for attention."...you would be nothing without those two""...and now you finally have me, but you still rely on others for your like always""Looks like it's me and you again"And if you remember the song Stayed Gone you should know that this whole situation that Vox has a team, when he himself refused to join, had bothered Alastor even before the plan of breaking his deal with Rosie. "He would be powerless without the other Vees""And here's the sugar on the cream he asked me to join his team"And look at this!"Always seeking someone to put up with your incessant-"If it just manipulation why Alastor is so mad when talks about it? I think, he doesn't like the idea that Vox moved on their past. He wants Vox to be obsessed with him. Wants his attention. In this case, for him Vees are the threat and he should separate them, especially Valentino, who possibly may have a sort of influence on Vox (considering their relationship).He literally sings:"You so obsessed with me""I knew you need me here to be""You still need me like you did before"My assumption is that Alastor didn't really work on the details of the plan he just went with the flow, and then realised he can use this certain bickering to make Vox invite Charlie. So all of these are his real emotions which he, as we already know (from my previous posts), openly shows to Vox. He complains to Vox a lot! Few more examples:"...you are always doing that and i hate it!""Still can't take me one-on-one, you need your little doggy?"And back to jealousy.Alastor is all smiley, talking to Vox, having the most entartaining hours while ragebaiting him, but when Valentino interferes he frowns immediatelyAnd when Vox sends Valentino away Alastor is happy again.[part 2]544213
