In honor of Brighter being an absolute banger of a song but also giving us… no insight into the motivation behind Vox’s desire for power and attention Id like to share my personal theory.
I think Vox had either an older or twin brother, who his parents loved and adored much more than him. He tried everything unique to get their attention but nothing worked, they only cared about his brother. Then I imagine the brother died tragically (not killed by Vox) and Vox went from being cast aside to being completely ignored.
Then, maybe because he himself missed his brother or because he was so desperate for his parents attention he starts dressing and acting like his brother…. and suddenly his parents are giving him the attention he always wanted. Maybe his name isn’t even Vincent, maybe that was his brothers name that he slowly took for himself as he and his parents molded him into a replacement for their favorite son.
This just would make SO MUCH SENSE. It explains why Vox is so desperate for attention, where his habit of copying people he looks up to and replacing them after killing them comes from, and also why he killed so many people for attention rather than dealing with them in another way, like sabotaging their shows or making them quit. He knows that he can replace someone after their death and that it will give him the love/attention he wants. It also cements that desire for love and attention as his main motivation rather than power, which explains why he went into television rather than politics or musical theater (you can’t tell me that tap dancing demon isn’t a Broadway fan).
I just think Vox is such a good character and Vivzie has said multiple times that he’s a multi-faceted character and while I love a good dose of “go fucked up white boy go” just as much as the next Vox fan, I think he needs a motivation stronger than “he’s just always been like this” for his character arc to feel satisfying, especially if he’s supposed to be that complex character Vivzie keeps saying he is.
Me, sees happy, wholesome character: Crush their spirit. I need to crush their spirit. Need them to feel despair and pain at a level they've never felt before. By the end, they will have changed as a person, and whilst it's still them, they just won't ever be the same again.
I genuinely want Foolish to take the happy pills. Like, instead of him being happier than how the happy pills usually, I want him to get the reverse-effect and get sad. I want them to have a reverse effect on him
Like, he takes them and then he calms down, and starts to basically have a breakdown. Like he just starts to reflect on life. He starts to just feel more down and kinda stops being himself, y’know?
I’m all for depressed roleplay. I kinda want to see how Foolish would play it out with his happy-go-lucky himbo character.
Why is the lego Riddler so fun to draw?? It’s been a while since I’ve had that much fun drawing. I’d draw even more of him right now but I don’t have any asks in that dear inbox though.
