the center of this man's attention

is a very bad place to be.

I wish I could reblog beautiful and intimidating art pieces I find of Val from pinterest. It is impossible to find anything that isn't st.aticmoth in tags, popular and new, and it reaaaaaally feels Val really is nothing more than the other half of a ship and that's his entire worth of a character and existence. I have to dig for 10+ minutes to find anything that's just him. Meanwhile Vox absolutely gets treated like a real character, both by the show and the fanbase.

[lpolilla]

Forever disguised that antisemitism is an acceptable form of bigoty and that line isn't drawn to refuse to tolerate it.

[lpolilla]

I am also obsessed with the concept of Valentino weaponizing false incompetence.

And one factor of many Vox ran the show was because Val saw it as throwing more work Val had no interest in doing despite its importance onto Vox and Vel while he largely focused on himself and his own indulgence. Mess up tasks given to him and they won't be given again - easier for Vox to just do everything himself.

[lpolilla]

Having drinkies. Thinking about how Vel is his most 'normal' connection with someone because it isn't a sexual relationship, he can't use sex to manipulate what he wants - and even if he could, she sees through his shit and is vitriolic in a manner he doesn't really push back against. His most vile treatment is to those he has power over and he can't quite get that power over Vel ( or Vox, though I think that's more a tug of war ).

He still disrespects her. He still has no problem ruining her shows, fucking with her business, mauling her employees and private property, is off having sex in the middle of her grand openings. But his disrespect and abuse trends around what he knows he can 'get away with' with imaginary lines of where 'too far' is and avoiding it.

@mercywept gets Val

Charlie: maybe if I try to empathize Val: you're ugly you're stupid you're fucking up my aura give me 5000 dollars

[lpolilla]

❝ don’t you ever get lonely…? ❞

Either Charlie is stupid enough to think that Valentino would pour his bleeding heart all over that ugly mop she called a head - or she's trying to pathologize him like she does Angel in their 'private therapy sessions'.

"I'm not the one who can't get any bitches," he calmly retorts, smug in posture - smug in tone. Legs cross over one another as his top set of arms stretch above the back of the couch he resides on. "The Radio Demon used you as a means to his own ends. All of Pride knows you're a joke. You can't get anyone in that hotel of yours without false promises of teaching Sinners how to fight angels.. and you lost your very first resident."

Of course, Angel Dust is why she's here. Why else would her ball sack fill her with enough testosterone and audacity to approach the Vee Tower?

"Your rug muncher's all you've really got in your corner. Am I lonely? Or are you just lost without your pet project and came here begging for my center piece?"

A long drag, fuchsia fumes circling all around like a predator to its prey. He waits until its all drained from his lungs before delivering the punchline on this joke.

"Angel came back all on his own. You're going to have to find a new toy to play with"

Maybe bc mobile is a BETCH but it looked like I unfollowed people IN MY SLEEP so if I did it wasn't me

[chopstickerz]

Does it mean anything that Valentino doesn't have Vox and Velvette at his birthday?

Travis, Ethan, the moth door girls, Kitty and, of course, Angel, are there though. And Ethan is the one making it weird, because maybe it could've been a team Valentino thing (which is still... a choice!), but nah. Ethan's here. And it's a public party... where the Vees are not wishing Valentino a happy birthday :0

Man, I'm really hoping they take Val's abusive tendencies and its impacts on his relationships as far as it can be taken, because like... yeah. Like it's canon that Vox and Velvette didn't sing happy birthday to him. It's just canon. Idc if they try and retcon this aspect of the dynamic in the future, I'm fucking LOOKING at it.

And let's never forget that yk, Vox and Velvette are also Valentino victims, and we are introduced to them as such. I know people love to baby Valentino to fit in some stereotypical (*coughs haggardly*) boxes, but his four hands are rated E for everyone. We have SEEN with our eyes that he: ruined Velvette's show, broke Vox's screen, and... I mean we have more than seen Angel Dust getting the full monty, fucking 'ell.

Also, follow up on me wondering why Melissa wears the basic employee uniform at the Heaven Takeover party... she's not invited either. Which is interesting to me. Velvette's staff experience femicidal blood baths, and her personal assistant gets treated like an average employee... Getting a strong whiff of misogyny up in here.

Idk maybe this is a nothingburger but it means a lot to me, and makes me feel very vindicated in how I'm writing this fic rn. Like, basically, when Val feels lonely... he goes to Angel. Where his partners in crime should be the ones wishing him well, they can't/don't/won't. And he has Angel do it instead. We also get a blink-and-you'll-miss-it of this when he's talking about how Vox won't have freaky public sex with him like Angel (which also, he did at Velvette's launch party. So another of Velvette's things that he scandalises without a care...)

Think of the drama of Vox trying to give Valentino lashings about this, and the anger Val was taking out on Angel was because of him and Velvette not coming to his birthday.

Also counting the candles, there's 10... The fucking concept of Valentino being cumulatively 100 years old. Do you know how fucking juicy it would be if Vox and Velvette skipped or were not invited to his centenary. Like that's a BIG one... the fucking cinematics, bro.

StaticMoth fan service be damned, I'm sorry. I need me my mess 😭. This is why I write fic, bro. Fucking unreal scenes.
