Obsession 💕

I think the part that upsets me most about RS discourse is the assumption that Vox’s anger and resentment of Alastor are only about his unrequited ROMANTIC (and implicitly sexual) feelings for him, with an undercurrent of those feelings being seen as inherently selfish and shallow.

When in reality what Vox seems most torn up about is losing what he thought was his first ever FRIENDSHIP, and that pain haunting him well into the present day even when he’s found new friends who love him unconditionally. Alastor’s favorite way to play into this is to refer to him with friendly terms like “old pal” or “my friend.” Season 2 centers heavily on recognizing the friends that are there for you and it’s because of their love for Vox that Velvette and Valentino are the ones to both defeat and save him.

So it’s frustrating to see Vox’s feelings for Al reduced to just “he’s just a bitter incel who’s mad he didn’t get to fuck him” out of people who allegedly recognize there are other kinds of love besides romantic or sexual. Even if Vox’s feelings were ALSO romantic, acting like “romantic=sex=shallow and selfish” is ALSO incredibly short-sighted.

And even if Alastor didn’t reciprocate Vox’s romantic feelings, he still had no respect for Vox’s platonic feelings, either. It wasn’t just the fact that Alastor rejected him, but that he did so in such a purposefully cruel way that included denying he ever liked Vox platonically. That is what seemed to hurt Vox the most. So, once again, framing it as though Alastor was “betrayed” by Vox isn’t accurate, because Alastor had no respect for Vox’s platonic feelings, either.

Is Vox wrong to keep holding a grudge? Of course he is! But he’s not a Nice Guy or an incel, and Alastor is not innocent in this either. That’s what makes their whole dynamic so fascinating! But reducing it to *just* an unrequited romance is pretty shallow and misses how much is built on their platonic feelings for each other!

reminder that i do see vox as a closeted trans woman in canon like that is a very important part of how i read and engage with the character 😭

like idk you can feel strongly about the male centric way fandom operates but i assure you me bringing up vox wasnt some tone deaf oh look at my Male Yaoiful Character. i do genuinely believe shes suffocating in the closet by her own volition, and fear, and need for control over her image. she has the resources and means (and hell, even the social capital) to get away with coming out but is still paralysed by the fact that she is first and foremost a brand, not a person.

Her comfort and identity is secondary to her existence as a product. And his presentation as Vox, as an Overlord, as male, is secure. Its safe. It's not comfortable, but from the first time shes on screen, we're shown shes happy to disregard her own comfort for the sake of appealing to others.

tldr I don't like being reprimanded by strangers and i am very serious abt vox hazbin hotel LOL👍

#not something I had ever considered before but this is brilliant and makes so much sense #dear listeners

much thoughts

remember when i talked about this before

here's one thing i noticed but i didnt share before cause i know people will dislike it but as a filipino who saw parallels being set up, when i saw the sign that lu placed in his door the first thing i thought of was actually a sign done against filipinos (and other pocs before).

can be intentional can be not but its food for thought (i have a lot of thoughts)

signs during 1920s-1940s

while the pic below was around 40 years ago

i didn't wanna share it during s2 height but now its something i wanna share because i still remember lucifer's whole bias against all sinners and this (intentional/unintentional) parallel of al's memories back in his living days during episode 4 and one with his scenes with lucifer

lucifer's discrimination against sinners really run deep and i think it would be good if more writers tackle this especially with alastor's backstory as a poc during his era where racism/discrimination is at its most high because i still believe alastor really snapped and quit the hotel because of the things that lucifer said hit close to home
