I'm shocked that I haven't seen anyone point out that Vox can be forcibly silenced against his will and get fully muted, completely losing his voice.

(Ironic since his name means Voice lmfao)

BUT Alastor is unable to be silenced even when his mouth his foribly shut. He can still speak his mind and CANNOT be muted against his will. His voice literally cannot be silenced by others.

Not only is this yet another awesome foil between the two (which is the obvious)

But it also represents that radio is actually STILL most reliable long distance method of communication to this very day (in terms of its failure rate)

For instance, during extreme weather, weather radios are almost always the LAST thing that fails. Typically everything else will fail first. Cell towers can get knocked out easily, especially making phones useless. Power poles and powerlines easily can fail, and when the power goes out it renders most television and desktops useless, and you only have so much battery on your moblie devices.

BUT a weather radio will often STILL be working as normal even after all other methods of communication and warning have been lost. (Not always, but the failure rate during dire times is VERY low compared to literally everything else)

Alastor being aroace makes his dynamic with Vox like 100% funnier. It's a villain rivalry, you immediately know people will look at these two and think "they crave each other carnally", except only one of them has the capacity for it. Which is the perfect set up for a ridiculous one-sided obsession, but then Alastor is shown to be acting way more unbothered by Vox than he actually is. Dude is walking the streets of Hell menacingly staring into cameras and doesn't even have the excuse of homosexuality. Both of these fuckers are goofy as hell.

i’ve just seen yet another commentator remarking on how we do not talk enough about Alastor baby talking Vox into the deal

my friends, if anything we don’t talk enough about the fact that Alastor partially undressed mid combat. babytalk? sure, but he also vanished into the shadows for a sec to fully untie his bowtie and undo like four buttons. play the footage! the tie is hanging there around his neck in one solid piece. Vox does not rip anything off of him! Alastor said “hang on, what is the best way to drain half of Vox’s available brainpower to ensure that he falls for the most obvious setup ever” and in two seconds came up with “the closest thing to a striptease i can shoehorn into the middle of active combat.”

the only thing that is more insane than Alastor doing that is Vox re-dressing him off-screen BEFORE the humiliation parade. presumably because he does not want anyone else to see sexy, wounded, half-dressed Alastor.

absolutely crazy work from both of them here.

Remember When the Speaker Bumped Foreheads with Pentious?

I realized that this wasn’t the first time we’ve seen an angel do that to someone.

Lucifer did it too.

So now I’m wondering if this is a gesture of affection used by Heavenborn angels like Lucifer. In which case, it’s a sweet bit of stealth lore about angelic culture in Hazbin Hotel.

Omg this is the first time I realised that Velvette is on the same power spectrum as Alastor and Vox! Wifi is just fucking radio waves! In fact, she's closer than modern TV, which is mostly physical cables! (But then, everyone just streams things online now, so we're back to tv being radio waves)

So fucking fascinating

// Alastor is not alone, y'all

He has friendly acquaintances, and acts very affectionate towards them.

He was business partners he respects, and who overall respect him.

He makes friends easily.

He is a socialite.

Lonely? Sure. Alone? Never.

And according to Mimzy, he knows how to party hard.

“Oh yeah, we go way back, ran in the same circles when we were alive. You know, this one used to frequent the club where I used to perform. He's the only one I knew who could pound whiskey like a sailor then keep up with me on the dance floor!” — Mimzy, Dead Beat Dad

Its so funny to me that Alastor's 2 main ships are

X wanta-be God CEO man

And

X nearly a God King of hell

“Why can’t we have both? Vox has two hands”

Guys, I don’t think they want to share. 

Yes, Val was cool with the idea of watching them fuck, but he’s clearly not ok with Vox ignoring him to focus on Al. He storms off ranting about Vox paying more attention to Al than to him. I mean, I feel like for an open/threeway relationship to work (not that I’ve been in one, this is just my impression), the two sides need to either also be with each other or tolerate each other, be cool with however much of the central person they can get.

And Val does not seem to either want Alastor or to be cool with him getting more of Vox’s attention than he does. In 2x05 he’s bummed to see Vox fixating on Al instead of him, he’s visibly enraged when Vox is looking at Al during their fight in 2x06, he sings a solo sad number about losing Vox when he sees him alone with Al in 2x07. Val definitely does not want to share.

And Al doesn’t either. It’s subtler, but Al as this video points out does everything he can to sabotage Vox & Val. He puts himself in between them in his little fantasy play of the deal. He interrupts their intimacy whenever he can, makes sure Val knows Vox was his first, grabs his attention and smiles in pleasure whenever he has it, and looks annoyed whenever Vox tries to go back to Val. Al likes having Vox’s attention on him and him alone. Heck I even did a meta about it in Stayed Gone - he’s quick to remind Vox that he wanted him when Vox tries to make a big song and dance about being over him. The biggest thing he gets out of this is undivided attention and adulation. He doesn’t want to split that with someone else.

As is in canon, Val and Al both want Vox’s attention all to themselves. I mean there’s a reason they both say “You’re obsessed with me” with a big old smug tone. So while yeah maybe Vox would be cool with having both, I don’t think Val or Al wants to share him.

As is so far, anyway. Maybe future character development will put them all in a more sharing mood :) Just not at the moment.
