vox is trying to win at capitalism at the expense of everybody else. i suppose his work is largely disconnected from himself — it's not his perfect media that expresses a part of him, but the perfect media for a polled audience. it's his name and face on the tin, but is it really even about him?

Vox has a very weird relationship with his media output. He sees it purely as a way of making money/gaining influence, but will also get super pissy if someone implies that it's artless or low-effort. He's a perfectionist down to his bones; he's not capable of making something low-effort, at least when it comes to the projects he's personally involved in. He values the craft of film/television production too much. He can't help but endlessly pick something apart if it's sloppy or incompetent, but he still comes at his own work with a very capitalistic, means-to-an-end mindset. It's a weird contradiction.

#diurna talks #something something art is an expression of the artist #and vox is sooo full of artifice that his work is a vessel for the wants of #his audience and his conglomerate and his investors #alastor saw that and noped the fuck out

not to imply that val wouldnt be a blushing bride if he had a wedding; he'd over the fucking moon

babes and bimbos i think val would want a fuck-off massive big blowout white wedding if he had one, in the sense that he thinks marriage is cute and wants to pretend to be a precious blushing bride for his hubby (vox).

@cringefailvox

he's actually using his teeth as electrodes on each prong of the plug!!!

(it's a two-prong bc hell probably doesn't use the superior and safer three-prong that prevents you from, you know, getting electrocuted. and vox likes doing tricks like these to please velvette).

vox's mechanical nature means he has wonderfully fine motor control when he puts his mind to it, capable of rerouting the charge flowing through him and thousands of internal processes. too bad his emotions always get the better of him.

The best part abt everybody doing Hazbin redesigns and then drawing exclusively those in fanart is that I can add whatever wild ass headcannons I want into my Hazbin fanart and nobody's gonna question it

yeah my stance is very much 'Val is genuinely vile and probably can't love anyone the way they deserve' and that he wouldn't be able to synthesize a better version of himself for Vox. i love the idea of them using different avenues of abuse to get ahead of each other — like, vox almost certainly artifices situations where Val has to rely on him financially, emotionally and physically and gets a supreme kick of being needed with Val's blindness. he's been playing the long game ever since they became business partners, perhaps pushing Val towards emotional dysregulation, so now, modern-day, Val relies on him entirely (seen in ep 2 where he literally cannot be consoled by anyone else but Vox). Val is simply more overtly abusive.

that being said, my current massive long fic wip (the outline is 30k+ and most of it's skeleton scenes. sigh....) is proudly voxtagram-vintage and is very very much a 'vox is an imperfect victim and angel parasocialises onto the luminous destruction of his life, after voxval turns for the worst in the most horrifying ways possible'. whoops!

I'm actually completely on board with the interpretation that Vox and Val are equally horrible to each other, albeit in different ways. However. Every time I see something vehemently dismissing any possibility of abuse from Val on the basis that Vox is also evil (like victims need to be good people. okay), I am filled with the desire to spitefully only depict Vox as Valentino's victim.
