Recently realized that I unintentionally made Winnifred and William’s weird Lavender Marriage mirror Vox and Velvette’s relationship?? Like… M+F couple in an unlabelable partnership where one party is gay and isn’t interested in the other sexually, but they adore each other’s company so much that the other party doesn’t particularly mind

Once Helen realized that Vincent was spiraling into madness and could feasibly hurt her or the kids, began planning her escape. She called up an old friend from finishing school (someone she hadn’t seen in years— someone who Vincent wouldn’t think to contact), and convinced her that their families (minus Helen’s husband, who was just so busy with work that he couldn’t come) should vacation together. The week~month that she had to wait for their departure date to arrive was agonizing (and gave Vincent the opportunity to take Sarah on a spur-of-the-moment, long, aimless drive around the city, which scared Helen half to death), but once the day finally arrived, she was off. She lied to Vincent about the kids having the day off from school and waited for him to leave for work before waking the kids up, telling them they were going on A Super Fun, Surprise Vacation (Without Daddy), and taking off for the Outer Banks in Vincent’s second car.

To give Vincent's chipped tooth a backstory, or to not give Vincent's chipped tooth a backstory...

[redladydeath]

Okay, I think I wanna make it so Vincent chipped one of his teeth when he collapsed onstage back in 1929. Every time he looks in the mirror, he’s reminded of that horrible, humiliating moment that changed his life forever.

Doris Kenyon featured in Ladies’ Home Journal, 1924

Was listening to some music while driving and found two more OC songs in my library

“Candle Queen,” which is 100% a Winnie song, and “honey” by Halsey, which is a good representation of what William sees in Winnifred (she’s fun!! as long as you’re not on the receiving end of her dramatics)

[redladydeath]

idea for what led up to the "they're calling me a god, bob!!" scene: bob had some kind of a health scare that led him to decide that it was time for him to retire from the entertainment industry. vincent was privately thrilled, assuming that, as bob's son-in-law and thomas' father, the network would automatically go to him. however, bob instead chose to place the company in a trust/in the hands of long-time associates, at least until thomas came of age and was capable of running the channel himself. vincent, already flying high due to the "god of entertainment" newspaper article (and possibly already well in to his last manic episode before his death), convinced himself that he'd totally be able to persuade bob to change his mind (he was the network's biggest star!! and bob's son-in-law! he'd be crazy not to pick him!!), and went into the meeting with the article and a vision board at the ready. unfortunately for him, bob was already in the process of becoming disenchanted with vincent, and having him burst into his office, rambling like a coke addict about how he could completely revolutionize the channel until tommy was old enough to take over, of course, only exacerbated that distrust. reeling and seething from the rejection, vincent dealt with this setback the only way he knew how: dangling bob off a building, forcing him to sign papers making vincent his primary beneficiary, and then letting his children's grandfather plummet to his death, fake suicide note and cooked medical papers planted safely in his pocket.

Vox if he’d had the kids

fuuuckkk, now i'm thinking about my ocs and omegaverse and how 1920s-1970s gender roles would work in an abo setting

...

vincent - omega with dysphoria who can pass as a beta helen - there are points in favor of all three options, but i like the idea of vincent originally taking on the housewife role and helen being her dad's 'heir,' so maybe a beta, or an alpha in this specific scenario? tom - beta and kind of insecure about it sarah - classic omega winnifred and william - alpha and omega pair and absolutely loving it. winnie's probably in charge of the family business, and william... oh, he's thriving

[redladydeath]

william, who’s found great fulfillment in his marriage/his role as an omega (even if he’s still not as attracted to winnie as he feels like he should be (and doesn’t love being socially obligated to have sex with her whenever she wants)): you just need to find the right alpha :)

vaughn/vincent, who feels sick at the idea of giving up his career+life outside the home to quietly support his alpha:

I’m curious

Which do you prefer?

Posts about my OCs as humans

Posts about my OCs as sinners

I like them both equally

I saw your post about Fineas being the Vance to Vox’s trump and for some reason I pictured Vox being the Elon Musk to Fineas’ Trump post season 2, (sry I just couldn’t unsee it, especially after that other post about Tommy taking Vox’s place as leader of VoxTek instead of Val in your Au)

Ketamine addict Vox sounds like an absolute nightmare

Alternate, Fineas could get the Musk 'role.' "Hey Dad, do these departments/programs do anything? *doesn't wait for an answer* Okay, into the wood chipper they go!"

[redladydeath]

Okay, I actually kinda love the idea of Brian D'Arcy James and Heidi Blickenstaff as William and Winnifred. It's such a cute in-joke to me, and I think they're actually pretty good fits.

[redladydeath]

The song doesn't fit, but I keep coming back to this video. Lady's killing it.

[redladydeath]

Compared all her different versions of Poor Unfortunate Souls on Youtube and found the two that are closest to how I imagine Winnie sounding

[redladydeath]

kill me. this is making me realize that if fineas existed in canon viv would probably try to draw a parallel between him and jd vance because of that stupid "make hell great again" line in vox populi. arrrrgh tom's even a slimy politician who swims with the biggest fish regardless of morals ew ew ew

[redladydeath]

If vox had to regularly be at overlord meetings with alastor AND his parents, he would have tried to nuke hell earlier

Yes, yes he absolutely would've

Just realized that by making Thalia a squid demon voiced by Heidi Blickenstaff, I lowkey created a connection between her and Ursula. AU where Thalia’s a deal maker, I guess.

[redladydeath]

Carmilla: This is an overlord meeting, Thalia. Why is he here? Deal maker!Thalia, mask flipping upside down so she can express anger, with Buskin coiled loosely around her 'shoulders' like a boa: How dare you!! This is my emotional support husband!!!

[redladydeath]

Fineas was on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster during the whole Vox Populi, Vox Dei rally. He went from being horrified that his dad told the literal King of Hell to fuck off (diplomacy, Dad!! Jesus Christ!!!), to getting kind of caught up in the musical number with everyone else, and back to horrified when the angels showed up and Vox told THEM to fuck off too.
