heaven ending vox + alastor

[randomly--accessed--memories]

So how does it feel that so far most of the recent Vox merch implies he’ll be lobotomized or heavily sedated for season 3

I don't think that's what the merch implies? He's making the same face as in S2E1, when he opens a soup kitchen for clout.

The Vees are on a Pride parade float with Angel Dust, so I think that's just the face Vox makes when he has to pretend to care about something for a public appearance.

Yet another request. This one was in a long ask of different requests so I’m giving them each their own posts. REALLLY LIKED THIS REQUEST A LOT!!! It was for alcohol shots on top of Vox’s flat face and I eat that up. I’m assuming this is what u meant anon but if not pls correct me I WILL DO ANOTHER

Alastor projects his frustrations out on others

Something I don't see mentioned often, is that Alastor straight up mocks people for things he's not happy with about himself

Alastor fusses with Husks ears because he knows Husk hates it when he does. And what do we now know? Alastor also hates when the person Holding his leash does the same to him.

And speaking of Alastor treating Husk like Rosie treats him

Alastor 100% projects his treatment onto Husk. He feels powerless against Rosie, but he does have Power over Husk. It's like a cycle of generational trauma

But it's not just how Rosie treats him that Alastor imitates with others

((This is going to be another long one, so please keep reading what's under the read more tag to see more parallels))

Any disrespect people show him, he pays it forward. He takes what he knows pisses himself off and applies it to others for maximum damage. He treats others how he is treated.

I'm not saying this excuses his behaviour mind you. Alastor is an awful person, and that just comes natural to him, but he is a master at turning his own insecurities around and weaponizing them against others.

A big example of that?

He mocks Vox for wanting/needing help. But Alastor got the majority of his power because Alastor also asked for help.

Alastor just keeps the fact that he needed help a secret. He's too prideful to admit that he couldn't have pulled off his extremely fast rise to power by himself.

This wording also is very interesting, considering season 2 gave us two different examples of people literally stinging alastor along, with him being powerless to do anything about it.

And both instances are positions he put himself in. He made both the deals that let others use him as a puppet.

He has shown he's willing to play the long game to get what he wants, and will even sacrifice his own pride an dignity as long as he is sure it will benefit him in the long run.

Rosie clearly gave Alastor his power back for the finale, but I doubt he sold his soul again.

And by Alastor's own admission, Rosie was holding him back.

Which means his fight with Vox is the only time Alastor has ever truly been able to tap into his full power without Rosie's chain holding him back.

Season 3 might be where we finally truly get see who The Radio Demon actually is when he's not being held back.

Presumably he's now working with Rosie's as an equal to achieve a mutually beneficial goal. A goal that we still have no idea about yet, but Rosie was sure that the hotel, or Charlie, would be able to help achieve.

After almost a year, I finally worked up the courage to hang up my signed RAM poster. I'm incredibly proud of RAM, but I always default to shame whenever I look at any of my own art/writing/etc. Gonna try to change that.

Gotta go into work, but been thinking about how bc of Alastor’s S2 characterization, RAM!Alastor is probably just a strait-up bully to RAM!Vox rather than a paternalistic weirdo

[randomly--accessed--memories]

s2!ram!alastor probably wasn't trying to "fix" vox at all– he wanted to break him, he just dramatically overestimated how amusing a niffty-fied vox would be/how much he actually cared for vox

@rexdiaboli

Alastor wants it both ways. There is a part of him that’s still genuinely fond of Vox and wants to replicate as much of their glory days as possible, but his fear of vulnerability, inability to admit he made a mistake, and frustration with his own ‘powerlessness’ (his contract with Rosie + the fact Vox got this close to surpassing him seven years ago) makes him spend most of his time at the hotel belittling/condescending to Vox in ways Vox can barely process, just to make himself feel a bit more in-control.

realized last night that, because of vox’s s2 backstory, ram!vox/vincent would 100% assume he finally got caught and is locked up in a mental institution/prison during his seven years in the tower

[watchmebitch]

$50 on Alastor taking Vox's body apart like a demented fifth grader with an old VCR.

Maybe he swapped some parts out with old school systems, because they're so much more reliable really.

Alastor leads Baxter to a hotel room repurposed as a surgical suite and there are just PARTS. innumerable Vox parts on the table. He took him apart and does not know how to put him back together again. Baxter and Alastor stand there in silence for a few seconds and then Alastor says “well, I’m not going to acknowledge this as a metaphor for anything.”

…wonder what my version of vox would think of dance moms

thinking about ram!vox coming across an episode while mentally channel surfing and reciting the dialogue in his mother’s voice
