If nobody ever explained this to you, if someone you see a lot does something you like and you never ever tell them that, they might think you don’t like them or don’t like the things they do for you.
If you like your sister’s cooking and have never ever told her that, she may very well think that you hate her cooking. If you like it when your friend drives you places and you never ever thank them, they might think you’re not grateful even if you are. If you like it when your partner does this or that thing for you they won’t know that unless you tell them.
Tell people in your life hey thanks for driving me, that was a great dinner, I like your singing, thanks for helping me with that. They don’t automatically know that you appreciate what they do.
vox fanart + my 3am hc(s) of vox's tv specs below the cut (cw// shitpost, backend bullshit engineering)
VOX's TV SPECS!!📺🦈
Display Panel : Tandem OLED (2-Stack)
- This is the one they use in the newest IPad Pros btw! You can definitely call him an IPad.
Size/Profile : 0.8" Ultra-Slim Flatscreen
- He can STILL have a neck here.. It's flat enough to be a flat screen.
Aspect Ratio : 4:3
- CLASSIC TV & Vox's boomer roots!! This is the traditional, older aspect ratio also used for older CRT TVs—which he used to have!
LISTEN.. HE IS NOT A 16:9 WIDESCREEN TV!!!! HE IS NOT RECTANGLE ENOUGH!! tho im sure his old tv head is 16:9 widescreen (see picture below)
Resolution : 5760 x 4320 (roughly 24.88 megapixels—6K resolution!)
- 8k is cool & all but I feel like I'm looking into his "TV pores" and I think he'd prefer to have a resolution that doesn't put those TV pores on blast BUT STILL counts as high-definition!
Refresh Rate : 400Hz
- Most humans perceive fluid motion at around 24–30 frames per second (which is why movies use 24fps). HOWEVER, to see a SEAMLESS image, we usually need about 60 Hz. Vox may be an old ass man but he is also a high-strung overlord who can canonically fight! 250Hz is the "overclocked" equivalent of a fighter pilot perceiving changes in v high-stress situations. Since Vox is not even human anymore, I HC his refresh rate is slightly above a fighter pilot, a bit higher than a high end TV's 144Hz & a lot closer to a gaming laptop's 480Hz.
Response Time (GtG) : Around ~0.03ms (Because he is an OLED, his pixel response time would be near-instantaneous!)
- Let me clarify: Response Time =/= Reaction Time!! Response time refers to how fast his PIXELS change color! This not referring to how fast his brain processes a glass thrown by Val & tells his body to dodge.
TV Antennas : 7G signal receivers for instant uploading (7G exists in hell IDC!!! THE NUMBER 7 IS JUST A SKEWED LOOKING "V" THAT STANDS FOR VOXG)
Durability : I think this is a bold headcanon but I believe he is level 10+ on the MOHS scale, like, diamond levels of hardness. You can probably key his face & it wouldn't rlly scratch.
- HOWEVER, if we are talking about real life physics?? Extreme hardness is equal to EXTREME BRITTLENESS. His Impact resistance? ZERO. Give him a solid right hook & his screen will shatter.
- He probably has a swappable faceplate system to deal w/ every broken screen.
Cooling System : Idk a portable handheld electric fan ig?? 🤷 idk I think demon physiology has something to do w/ this.
Heat/Temperature : He can throw a very hot, MANIC & electrically-charged tantrum w/o the glass cracking (but will absolutely bluescreen)
Audio : Built-in Dolby Atmos 128-channel spatial audio (Vox w/ 3D sound when he is trying to speak to a wider audience. That little max volume thingy he does when he speaks? Yes. Why not?)
ok WHAT ABOUT THE BACKEND?
Canonically, he seems to only have 7 ports FOR HIS head? With no HDMI cables? (Is he a server rack???) This excludes the retractable cables attached to his body & limbs. Also HE DOESN'T PLUG THESE ACTIVELY so I'm not gonna justify why he is able to run a 6K display at 400Hz with 7G connectivity without plugging his 7 (implied multipurpose & hardworking) ports/cables. He has bisexual demon magic⚡An IRL standard DisplayPort 2.1 would be shitting it's pants trying to push 6K @ 400Hz.
ANW this is my bullshit engineering headcanon for his PORTS, aka Vox's nerdy equivalent of piercings :
PORT 1-2 : Broadcasting Uplink & Downlink — Uplink is for broadcasting his face to every screen. Downlink is for absorbing every camera feed in hell.
PORT 3 : Audio Master Bus — Allows him to attach to any audio system he can get his hands on.
PORT 4 : Charging I/O — Tether to anything that can support his electricity-based powers & increases his reach. Like a parasite. He is a parasite.
PORT 5 : Cooling Unit — I said idk about the cooling system BUT WHAT IF this is the port for the "faceplate swaps", or when he needs to plug in a cooling unit because he’s overheating from a tantrum? YESSS
PORT 6 : Six is a good number (also this is probably a Legacy AV (audio/visual) that he secretly keeps around, "unused", juuuuuust in case he ever needs to interface with certain... analog tech 👀)
PORT 7 : Management port (IPMI) — If he crashes port 7 stays active so his ass can be rebooted
Note : OLED has burn-in risk so i like the idea he does those snazzy "screen glitches" so the pixels doesn't burn into his screen (It's called pixel shifting!!)
As for everything else? mmmm cartoon demon magic idk 🌈
