I actually kind of do want to see Vox 'downgraded' back to box-form but approached as the grotesque whumpy horror concept it is. like that is quite literally one of Vox's worst nightmares, right up there with 'irreparable public humiliation' in terms of things Vox would flat out rather die than have to endure. whether by necessity or an external force his body is being altered against his wishes in a way he considers deeply and intrinsically degrading + deprives him of functional abilities he's come to take for granted. like imagine how isolating and disorienting it would be to be hooked up to a whole technological network and have the internet in your brain and an internal clock and the ability to send calls at will and all the rest of it, only for it to be abruptly ripped away from you all at once. the actual physical shape takes time to readjust to and when he finally does get used to it that's worse because it hits him all at once that he's starting to process this thing he doesn't want as part of his body instead of an invasive foreign object he's temporarily been made to host. and insult to injury almost no one can understand what makes it all such a big deal.

it's just. we could make it so fucked up. I feel like because a lot of people find Box!Vox cute and he seemed happier or at least more comfortable with himself during that period there's an automatic assumption that regressing back to that would be a positive or at worst neutral experience for him. And generally this reads to me as ignoring his actual values as a character in favor of projecting a preconceived set of priorities onto him—swapping one's entire head out is not a small thing and there are reasons he has made the extremely active and intentional choice to have the body he has now. reversing that decision would be an overwhelming violation of his body, mind, autonomy, and identity all at once, and I think that's fantastic.

I think everyone in-universe should ALSO keep telling Vox that this is a good thing. That the upgrades were hurting him. That this is his genuine realest self and he doesn't need to be constantly improving in order to have value and be loved. Which is almost an affirmation, but Vox doesn't want to be some anachronistic relic stuck in permanent 1950s stasis and all he hears is that he has no control over who he is, that every accomplishment is just a costume he was putting on, that he can never be more than what he is so he should just. stop. trying. and he is very normal and well adjusted about all of that

sapphorror

no. no. listen. alastor giving him all these not-quite-compliments that make it REALLY clear he likes vox better this way and is willing to reward him in the form of semi-explicit validation, and it's driving vox insane because he can finally have a sliver of Alastor's genuine approval but only by changing in a way that makes him hate himself. and contrary to all expectations the fact that Alastor apparently likes him more now does nothing to mitigate how awful it feels

(alastor, for the record, knows EXACTLY what he's doing, and it's the only reason he's being so openly nice in the first place)

"you got horrific detransition metaphors in my ableism!", "you got ableism in my horrific detransition metaphors!" and then the analogies kissed and the depressed queers with chronic health conditions got catharsis through a tv's suffering.

i think vox as a person should become more unstable and emotionally dysregulated every time he updates his brain to be able to take calls/navigate the internet/manage a city-wide surveillance network/whatever other new task that neither he, televisions, nor the human psyche were designed to perform. he was already fucked up to begin with now he's off-loading all those incidental little mental functions like metacognitive awareness and affective empathy to clear up space for tracking analytics

sapphorror

this was half-way a joke post but in all seriousness I do enjoy the idea that half the reason Vox's powers are so unstable compared to other characters we see is that they along with his general hell-form were never meant to be compatible with modern technology and he's just been brute-forcing that shit for seventy years. which also means he lives in constant unspoken terror of the day when he inevitability can't push it any further and becomes obsolete

I love that Vox has so many little character-defining tics.

Whenever he's feeling really pleased, it seems, Vox likes to hug himself:

...huh...wonder what's behind that?

He also likes to climb onto tables:

Once I get up there...I'll feel a little better about myself, maybe?

And leap into chairs:

This man is just so physical, I can't. This bi disaster. Iconic.

Let me know if you've noticed any other quirks about Vox!

I love this analysis! *chefs kiss* OP

To add, when Alastor teases Vox in the don’t you forget reprise that he’ll ‘lose his marbles in act 3’, he just rolls his eyes and watches for Al’s reaction.

Vox has NPD with bouts of psychosis and severe delusions of grandeur. He is absolutely aware he WILL always need someone to pull him back from the figurative ledge. Vox was biblically humbled when he was alive, so it makes sense he’d want assurance it won’t happen again, and I think he wanted that person to be Al bc he saw them as equals and therefore ‘safe’ for this to happen without judgement. But Al does judge him, he mocks him and draws attention to it as it’s shameful for (in Alastor’s opinion specifically) for a demon to have problems with self-sufficiency.

Vox rolls his eyes and grimaces bc he knows it’s true. He WILL need help at the end and whilst he’s aware of it now, he loses that perspective the more unwell he gets. Not once in the show does Vox refute he relies other people, he’s touchy about it, but he knows he needs at least someone there to ensure he doesn’t go completely mad and lose it all like he did when he was alive.

After Val kisses him and rips his head off, Vox snaps back to himself and justifies it by saying he ‘got a little carried away’. He seems equally shocked, satisfied and relieved that Val and Vel ‘came to his rescue’. He instantly asks how his approval rating is and while they l roll their eyes Vox makes his monitor face small and seems sincerely worried he will lose his followers. I really like the Vees being found family who genuinely care for each other, they’ve could’ve just left him alone after all
