You know something no one had mentioned, if vox had never intervened, vincent would have met Valentin and Veletta as his coworkers, and they would have become besties. Like it was a destined canon event. So not only has radiostatic ruined their human versions relationship, they ruined the human Vees.
i'm so fascinated by the concepts of the butterfly effect, the multiverse, and the "canon events" in almost any type of story so i'm so glad you guys are looking into it as well. in IDIMW, alastor and vox sort of act as anomalies that sow chaos and change events that are meant to happen. they characters who are not supposed to fit in the narrative and play an active role in it.
and now for some interesting food for thought for all of you before i finish the fic sometime in the future:
everyone is going on and on about how alastor and vox have ruined al's and vincent's relationship and how if it weren't for them everything would be perfect between the two. but let me ask you this: if we're taking canon events into consideration for this alternative universe, wouldn't the "doomed relationship" have happened here as well, sooner or later? the inevitable fall out? the break up? like, if alastor and vox are destined to forever ruin their relationship in every universe, isn't this what is waiting for al and vincent as well? if, of course, nothing intervened?
and let's say that vox ruined the vees' canon event of properly meeting and val+vel befriending vincent, which has completely altered their initial fate and prevented them from working together. by that logic, one could argue that vox and alastor, by affecting their relationship, unintentionally might have actually had an opposite impact on vincent and al. i mean, if we're going with "doomed relationship", could messing with the timeline have changed that destiny for them as well, and possibly brought them closer than before, and therefore, maybe even preventing the fallout?
i understand that they have completely different moral standards and that at their core, al and vincent are good people who only want the best for one another, but break ups don't always need to have a bad guy. they don't always stem from unhealthy relationships. sometimes, a fall out can happen even to the best of us, the most healthiest of partnerships - it's only the matter of circumstances and inner desires that truly challenge us (think again back to my references to la la land)
i hope this made sense? i guess this is just something i want you to think about and keep in mind as you continue following my fic ;)
i'm not spoiling anything, but i'm also not not spoiling anything haha im mysterious like that🙈
(sorry if i completely derailed from the initial post but that really got me thinking about the entirety of my fic's premise jksdflkdjf)
