in general I think everyone gets ticked off when people make an assumption about your internal process and it doesn’t actually match your experience and it’s a very human thing to try to observe/understand/predict each other. lately I’ve been trying to catch myself before doing it :/ but yeah I both am completely on top of things and also I have a lot going on and it’d be great if people asked about it except it’d be terrible and I’d only have an answer after maybe the third time being asked unless it’s just too buried. you know how it is.

Vox can understand Velvette just fine. They don't necessarily need to get along all the time, but they have a mutually beneficial contract that guarantees her support in the most efficient way possible, just how they both like it, short and strict and to the point.
Vox does not understand Valentino.
It drives him unimaginably, disgustingly insane.
He knows how to handle him, make no mistake. Valentino is a never-ending powerhouse that wrangles out content from his employees like there is no tomorrow. He's proven himself to be Vox's most lucrative investment yet. He is resourceful, well-connected and most importantly predictable enough to rein in. Because he listens to you, because he needs you.
He is also, undeniably, out of his goddamn mind.
Yet you've already invested too much in the corporate empire you've built together and there is no point turning back now that you have him so close to your side. It's OK however! He couldn't possibly be stupid enough to throw away the best partnership deal he's ever had just for the sake of something petty cause -oh, wait - he genuinely might just be that stupid and you never would've guessed because he's so cocksure of his bullshit that 80% of the time it ends up working in his favor anyway.
Fuck his life indeed.
The kicker for this of course is that Valentino, genuinely does believe he has struck gold with Vox.
Valentino is a clingy, possessive, immature, perverted, sadistic, egotistical man-child with severe rage issues and zero impulse control. No he is not aware of this at all. No he does not know why nobody is able to tolerate him and why every single person he gets close to hates his guts with every inch of their burning rotting souls. All he knows is that hell has now given him a flat faced prince in shining liquid crystal armour, riding on a cash filled horse with promises of power and luxury, who's practically handing him success on a silver platter. Doesn't mean that Val trusts him, doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy seeing him lose his shit. But at the end of the day vox has his back, and as long as Val keeps calling for him, he'll eventually turn up and make everything better. Cause hey if Vox hasn't left him yet for this long he must be doing something right.
Right?

As a panromantic person currently in a gay relationship
Outside loving my girlfriend so very much and not wanting to separate ever, I don't think I will ever be able to go back to straight relationships
Seeing straight people at this point is so cringe inducing. Like sorry babygirl you WILL have to be gay otherwise it won't work out

Go Out There And Change The World
"Go out there and change the world." He said it so often and now all that's left is a box and all the memories. Gordon could still hear Arrow's tired, raspy voice as he looked at the tiny snippet of what was once probably a school exercise book, rushed handwriting and all.
Arrow was one of Gordon's biggest supporters, besides Polly and North. Gordon could still remember that signature shaky but genuine smile that would cross Arrow's face as the young Gordon babbled to him about his day. He could still recall the shaking hand that signed his first football jersey, which was neatly folded and put in the cardboard box he rediscovered not too long ago. Under the old, worn out jersey that was in surprisingly good condition was a photograph. It was of a young adult Arrow and a pre-teen Gordon, having their first adventures in the kitchen. Tears began rolling down Gordon's cheeks as he was reminded of all the hours he'd spent with his oldest brother. "I could've- no, I should've spent so much more time with him." he thought to himself as he set the fragile photo down on the floor and focused on the box once again. Another picture, this time of Arrow and North.
The two were practically inseparable, apart for not more than 5 minutes at a time. On the back of the photo was text written in the same rushed handwriting that the little snippet had that read "Even if I can't change the world, I'll be here for you while you try."
Arrow wasn't the strongest physically, but nothing could break his spirit. He could be on his death bed and he'd still encourage you to stay positive and do something good for the world, or at least your own. He knew he didn't have as much time as his siblings, but he made the best of it.
He was there for North when he and Mallard grew distant, watched as the latter took off, helped Mary with her dreams of becoming a historian, encouraged Windsor to follow his hairdresser dreams, walked Polly to her music classes every day and of course.. he watched as Gordon and Scott grew up to be the siblings they are today. Arrow unfortunately didn't get to really see Bonny grow up, but his influence on his other siblings definitely left its mark on the little girl. He got to meet her once before he passed, and he made sure to tell her what he told their other siblings: "Go out there and change the world."
Gordon looked through all the photographs of his siblings, not even thinking about stopping the tears from falling down his face.
After he put down the photos, he picked up an old, worn out, faded picture book. It was Arrow's favourite to read to his siblings at bedtime, the pages completely faded to white where he flipped them. He could hear his brother's voice as he read the simple story. By now, there was only one thing left in the box: a white teddy bear, holding a blue heart. There was a tag attached to the toy's ear, reading "For my Shooting Star. Go out there and change the world." still in the same rushed handwriting, though even messier than the other handwritten notes. It was probably one of the last things Arrow wrote by hand before he passed on.
