Something I don't like about a lot of Vox takes I see is that they tend to portray Vox as someone who's unpleasant to work with and has weird ideas about what partnership means when really... he's not? He's not and he doesn't. It's just that two of the most prominent interactions we've seen him have are with Valentino(who is a fucking NIGHTMARE to work with) and Alastor(a man he has undisclosed, deeply emotional history with). But everyone seems to discount his OTHER important relationship: Velvette. Which by all accounts, is INCREDIBLY normal.

Like, yeah, their first interaction opens with her yelling at him, but that's less about Vox himself and more about Valentino. As they keep talking throughout the first bit of the episode, she starts calming down, and they just seem to genuinely get along? She has every right to look upset during Stayed Gone because Vox is being really weird and she's nOT THE ONE WHO ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED HIM TO DO THIS SHIT(staring directly at Val rn), but even then during the meeting after Stayed Gone she does actually. Participate. Unlike s o m e people. Despite being on her phone the whole time(which is literally her job-), she actually pays attention and contributes real ideas! Which tbh she didn't have to do at ALL like she did not have to put up w/ Vox's bs in RKtVS the way she did. There's also their phone call during the overlord meeting which, while I definitely think Vel was playing it up to annoy Carmilla, still sounded like a conversation between two ppl who genuinely like and respect eachother!

No matter what you think their relationship is(romantic, platonic, etc...), Vox and Velvette seem to get along REALLY well(outside of Alastor-related incidents). Like, better than either of them do with literally anybody else in the show. Vox & Val do LIKE eachother, but I find whatever the fuck is going on beneath the after the battles & masterless cattles to be DEEPLY upsetting to think about for too long(ex; any of my other posts abt their relationship), and the only other interactions we've seen either Vox or Vel have are Stayed Gone & Respectless, which are literally just song battles. Both of their only interactions outside of the Vees have been song battles. Aw fuck I'm getting off topic... BACK TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP AS COLLEAGUES- okay uh basically, I don't think they would get along this well if Vox was a terrible person to work with(note I said WORK WITH. Hate that I need to specify this but I don't think Vox is a good person overall, just a good business partner). I think Velvette is generally a good bench mark for both Vox & Valentino's relationships with other characters because she's their equal, their friend, and isn't in a weird toxic relationship with either of them. Their interactions with her provide a window into how they just generally interact with people. And based off of their interactions, Vox seems to be actually pretty decent to work with when he isn't being Actively Provoked for shits and giggles or trying to sooth the tantrum of a man child. Also when he views you as an equal and doesn't own your soul that helps too.

Edit: Hiiiiiiii just here to say that now, in the light of day, I don't really agree with everything I've said in this post? I wrote it at midnight while like half asleep so my ability to consider the fact that. We barely know anything about either Vox or Velvette at this point in time. Was kind of impaired I think. Cuz we really don't. I do stand by everything I said about their relationship to EACHOTHER, and I stand by the idea that we should take that dynamic into consideration for character analysis more often, but everything else I'm a little iffy on and I just woke up like an hour ago so my brains still a little fuzzy & I can't explain exactly WHY I'm iffy on it, but just know that I think the conclusion I drew is a bit of a leap in logic at the very least and I recognize that now lol

#Idk I just think their dynamic is vastly underrated and should be used for character analysis more often #vox has a lot more layers then I think the fandom tends to give him credit for #because it's more fun to make Alastor body pillow jokes #which tbh I cant even be particularly mad at bcuz if ur doing it for the laughs then there's rlly no harm in the long run lol #also I just want more Velvette character analysis she's fun #hazbin hotel #hazbin vox #hazbin hotel vox #vox hazbin hotel #hazbin velvette #hazbin hotel velvette #velvette hazbin hotel #gonna tag this as ship but platonic readings are welcome too tbh idrc #voxvel #velvox #staticdoll #late night ramblings #gal overanalyzes random shit

Oh baby we have all the tumblr user higherhell cliches on display here...beautiful men with long hair...red black and white color schemes...solid blocks of void for clothing. haha Did this as potentially an example piece for an eventual opening of comms...but whether I can commit to that remains to be seen. They would be in something like this format though (black & white + one accent color, bust/halfbody or so) most likely, because I enjoy it

#art #the pictures on my wall #personal pulse #gotta be real I have no idea what else to tag this. lol #was very fun to work on though.

[pandoratheprocrasticreator]

when ppl do parallels of the wittebane brothers with hunter and luz, hunter always parallels caleb and luz always parallels phillip and i know its bc luz looks and dresses more like phillip and hunter is literally calebs clone but!!!

every sibling pair weve explored in the show has a sibling who ran off to live their best life because they didn’t fit into polite society, and another sibling who had to live in the shadow of the first sibling, leading them to become a huge attention whore who makes a point of how well they fit into polite society to cope.

like almost EVERY pair of siblings have this dynamic. the most obvious is eda and lilith, but there’s also luz and vee. i’ve speculated about mattholomule and steve here. if you squint, you can even say edric and emira are both the ones who disregarded expectations to do whatever they want, while amity became the “overachieving good kid” to get attention. and phillip and caleb, especially with what we know about them now, DEFINITELY fits that bill. caleb was obviously the one who abandoned his life in the human world because he fell in love with a witch. meanwhile phillip spent 350 years to Get The Best Grade Ever In Witchhunting, because after caleb left, what else did he have?

(the only sibling pair that doesn’t really fit this dynamic is luz and king. although that’s probably just because i haven’t thought too much about their dynamic lol if anyone has luz & king brainrot like i have luz & hunter brainrot feel free to correct me)

but anyway, like in her relationship with vee, luz is obviously the one in the luz and hunter sibling pair to abandon her life because she couldn’t fit in. she’s the one who was led to the demon realm by the palisman of a clawthorne like caleb was. she takes the lead every time she goes on an adventure with hunter, even if hunter does more of the action stuff. she has a loving family in both worlds, and falls in love with a witch. she has a fascination with the culture of the boiling isles and its magic, and commits to living there because of that fascination

hunter, however, was the one raised to believe in the merits of hunting witches. young phillip latched onto the identity of witch hunter, because outside of caleb, he had no family. he had no social support without this identity. likewise, hunter latched onto the attention and purpose afforded by the golden guard position because it was an identity granted by belos, HIS only family, in a world where hunter’s lack of magic meant an otherwise meaningless and painful existence. hunter studies wild magic and palismen, but before he left the emperor’s coven, he insisted that the studies was for practical purposes, to fix his uncle’s curse. like phillip, hunter was split between the human and demon realms in thanks to them. he was a lot happier in the human world, but in the end, he still returned to the boiling isles, because his “mission” was more important.

luz never ran away from the stress taking care of a younger sibling, but she had the same sense of adventure and anxiety about her identity and future that caleb probably had. hunter didn’t become desperate to please the adults around him with a persona because he was abandoned by an older brother. but he was overshadowed by belos his whole life, seen as nothing but “the emperor’s nephew” just as phillip was probably seen as nothing but “caleb’s brother.”

their lives echo caleb and phillip’s, but hunter is kinder than phillip and more open minded. luz is more stubborn than caleb and convinced her brother to see reason where caleb’s brother never did. hunter is able to break away from his golden guard persona and decide on his own identity. luz is able to make peace with her life in the human realm and balance it with her life in the demon realm.

belos tried to raise hunter to be a “better version of caleb,” but he ended up raising hunter to be like belos himself. but hunter was able to find his own “better version of caleb” in luz, and became a “better version of phillip” in turn. unlike the wittebane brothers or the clawthorne sisters, luz and hunter’s relationship won’t end in betrayal.

#toh #the owl house #shut up pandora #toh meta #i should use that tag more often a lot of stuff i write falls into that #luz noceda #hunter toh #hunter noceda #phillip wittebane #caleb wittebane #should i tag the other sibling pairs theyre only vaguely mentioned #nah i wont theyre not as relevant #luz and hunter are siblings #with all the effort i put into writing dissertations on baby shows maybe i should study for my wastewater treament exam lol #anyway something something belos wanted to remake caleb but his generational trauma just caused him to remake himself #over and over #he wanted caleb back but he also wanted caleb to suffer the way he suffered as a child so now the golden guards all have phillip trauma #and he didnt know or want to acknowledge calebs trauma so he didnt get what made his brother tick either #he didnt want caleb he wanted the idealized version of caleb he saw as a child #the persona caleb displayed to him #an impossible superhuman that no one could have lived up to including caleb himself

[viksalos]

reading up on autism to figure out what the fuck is going on with me and making a list of personal pros and cons to figure out whether i should feel good or bad about it. as one does

pros: hyperlexia, deeply compassionate, talent for mathematics and the sciences/can do calculations of reasonable complexity in my head, visual hypersensitivity/decent artistic ability when replicating from still life/good at distinguishing subtle colors, acute hearing/good at identifying distinct sounds and sonic textures/deeply moved by music, can rotate some shapes in my head really fast i guess

cons: people can tell something is "off" about me in a fraction of a second and will be anywhere from begrudgingly polite to overtly hostile about it, terminal "not like other girls" disease/feeling of disconnect with existing in a feminine body, can pace for hours on end until my legs hurt, frequent crying & shutdowns, talk about myself and my interests extensively and can't seem to find a way to stop or better relate to others outside of mirroring them, productive work that actually *utilizes* my talents seems to only happen in increasingly infrequent bursts of hyperfocus, recurring identity issues stemming from a fundamental feeling of being born wrong and belonging nowhere, visceral hypersensitivity means i'm in pain from the normal functioning of my own organs for most of the day, people have compared me to sheldon cooper and elon musk, i am constantly begging for the sweet release of death,

#text #hmm. this post was funnier in my head #to be clear i am not one of those ''aut1sm is a superpower'' people and i'm aware that my ''gifts'' afford me significant privilege #but they also used to be things i liked about myself even when i was depressed #now that i'm anywhere from 3-5 yrs into burnout and can't rly *access* my gifts in the capacity i used to be able to anymore #it's rly hard to be positive about things. lol #i used to think that if people were going to think i was weird forever that i should at least be useful #which may not be possible to the degree it once was. and i realize was also a damaging and unhelpful mindset to begin with #tbh i'm rly jealous of the zoomers who seem to have more knowledge about/be more accepting of this stuff. #i think i was just in denial for years. but after looking into it more i'm more certain i'm aut1stic than i've been of anything in my life #which is significant considering the; yknow; identity issues. lol #it's kind of hilarious how many of my old text posts just scream ''undiagnosed aut1stic burnout'' in retrospect #sorry for all the behaviors and stuff. i love my mutuals but i think i have to be on this website less #while i figure my stuff out. i'll still check in but not as often #feel free to reach out in the meantime. i already miss a lot of my friends i lost contact with while going thru it <3 #wow these tags got away from me. ok bye

this is what iI meant in that one post I made. I made them french bc I was bored in french class so I made them speak french. keep in mind I'm in french 2 so idk how good the grammar is heh also this was first period so idk if the french makes sense or if the designs were accurate (at the time this was my first drawing of them and I didn't have references)

(do you (formal) want to drink with me? yes.)

#hyperlaser phighting #not tagging katana until I get home and can check a reference image #bc I don't think I drew him right lol #Hopefully I used vous correctly... it's both plural and single formal I think?? #this drawing is the only reason I remember what boire means I should draw phighting characters speaking french more often if #ig*

tonight in intro to audiology we all gave each other hearing exams and i officially have noise-induced hearing loss at 4,000 hz lol

#the reason we know it's noise-induced is bc it's just one dip in my hearing at 4k hz #which is how that type always presents #whereas other types of hearing loss are more often a slope that is lowest in the higher frequencies #we did screenings two weeks ago and it showed up then too but it was for sure there tonight #anyway it has no functional effect on my life #but it means i should try not to. let any more of that happen lol #i was trying to run through all possible causes of the hearing loss with the audiologist #like concerts and planes but he said it needs to be really pretty frequent and consistent and those weren't #and i don't use headphones on a regular basis to listen to music #anyway the audiologist thinks it was marching band #which does make sense cause that was very loud and very consistent #but it was also 10 years ago which is wild #i never knew until now #j.txt #here is that grad school tag

[the-breloominati]

What is arknights

I've seen enough tumblr blorboposts to decide I want in

TL;DR: tower defense with furries (to varying degrees of furry); also a mobile gatcha (I think you can get it on desktop too though)

ok so. god where do I start.. how do I start…..

The player character is called Doctor, and they’re one of the heads (kinda) of this group/company Rhodes Island. Rhodes works to provide medical care for people with Oripathy, called Infected, and are also working to find a cure for Oripathy. Oripathy is a terminal disease (it can be stabilized though depending on how far someone’s infection has progressed) caused by exposure to Originium, which is a kind of rock. (It’s sorta like uranium I guess? In the sense of it can be used for a lot of things, but long-term exposure can lead to illness.) There are also events called Catastrophes, which are natural events that can expose large groups of people to large quantities of originium (which can kill a lot of people and infect many others). In order to avoid catastrophes, people made nomadic cities (don’t ask me how they work).

There’s also a bunch of different races; most of them are animal people (to varying degrees), but some of them, like the Sarkaz, are.. other things? The Sarkaz are based around demons and stuff I think. Vaguely. There’s also at least two guys that are just birds? Idk about all the lore but the wiki (the Wikia or whatever not the Gamepress one) has more info about all of em.

Anyways the main story (and some of the side/event stories) are pretty political? Cause that’s kind of the nature of Rhodes Island; in order to provide care and treatment for more people they have to work together with different governments. It’s not super heavy-handed or anything I don’t think, but you can like.. apply stuff from the real world to it to get a better idea of things? Kinda? Idk gkfbjabhbkdhah

Anyway anyway, it’s a gatcha game with furries (mostly kemonomimi-style characters, pretty sure you can count all the kemono operators (playable characters basically) on two hands). The gameplay is tower defense, which is cool. The story is written quite well, but sometimes each segment can be VERY long (especially with event stages), so feel free to skip it if you want — you can always go back to it later to read it.

#i probably could’ve explained it better lol; sorry #added the tl;dr at the start after I typed everything else cause I’m pretty sure that’s the main selling point? #if you want more info without having to go through the game the wiki (again not the gamepress one) should be able to help #and; as with all gatchas; *please* be careful about how much you spend if you decide to spend real money on it #but yeah! it’s good! #there’s a lot of fanart on pixiv (mostly suggesting it cause people tag stuff more often there than on twitter) #though pixiv mostly has a japanese/chinese userbase; so you might have to check the wiki for character names in those languages #if you want to search them or their tag #pretty sure that’s it; I hope I’m not forgetting anything important…… #also ONE OF US; ONE OF US; ONE OF US-

Going through the Dick/Kory tag on a03

#SHEEESH sheesh #I like the Kory reverence trope because obviously its what she deserves and battle worn love sick Dick Grayson is therapeutic #but damn yall the teen titans live action show got the girlies guylies and theydies DEPRESSED #canon divergence this and rewriting an episode that but i get it cuz a fanfic writer can often write a better episode #but its all rewrites and live action show characters like YALL WHERE IS THE DICK/KORY?? WHERE IS IT?? I'M TIRED OF THEM BEING 'MOM AND DAD' #CAN THEY SMASH? CAN THEY GO ON A MISSION? WHERE IS THE DRAMATIC FLARE PEOPLE?? #also the more I'm on a03 the more I think ffn had a better interface... #as someone who goes on many a tag rant i think a03 tags are too much lol they border irrelevant #i used to write a little tt I should dip my toes back in and feed myself

[hopetheprincess]

after seeing a few more posts here and there about the AI shit, I've been able to see everything in a better perspective and I'm considering un-hiatus-ing lmao this is just how my borderline brain works I commit with my whole heart to something for 12 hours and then realize I made an emotional choice and go back on it but whatevs.

Anyway I'm going to try to be more realistic about shit, do my research, etc.

AND I am still gonna try to limit my Tumblr usage a little bit because I've been using it relatively obsessively, esp on my s/elf/sh/ip blog, and getting hyperfocused on getting notes, which is mega unhealthy for me.
