📻📺 “say ‘Hello’ to a new status quo!”

“Everyone knows that there’s a brand new sound, listen to the crowd!”

You ever think about ‘Stayed Gone’ as a song they wrote together about their partnership? I do.

Some other revised lines based off if it was a commercial jingle they'd play before their broadcast:

'Welcome home, pull up a chair, sit down, get comfortable'

'So the radio demon's back in town, how's it been hanging around? What does it mean for their families?'

'Well, I don't mean to sound hostile'

‘Hear the screams on radio, watch the gore on video! Now our medium is getting bloody rare! Hell’s been better since we met. Don’t like our games? Who gives a shit!’

‘Sinners rejoice!’ ‘What a charming voice <3!’

‘I’d be powerless without the other me!'

'And here's the sugar on the cream, he asked me to join his team!' 'HOLD ON!!' 'I agreed, and now he's clingy, that's the tea!'

'Y-You old-time-eee-y prick! I'll show you fl-fluste-errr-ing!!' 'Uh oh! The TV is buffering! >:3c'

'Let's begin, we're gonna make you wish that we stayed gone. Tune on in. When we're done, all overlords will know their reign is done! Oh, this will be fun!'

OK, I have my own take that I’ve observed about the scene.

Look at Alastor’s eyes. See how they’re dilated? In nearly every episode we’ve seen him in so far, Alastor’s default is narrow, slit-like pupils.

Even in his other, softer, moments- like when Nifty gifted him the roach crown- Al still had almost snake-like eyes.

But look here:

His eyes are soft, pupils wide. He is literally giving Vox doe-eyes.

Alastor’s ears are angled in Vox’s direction; showing he is both relaxed and giving his full attention to his “picture box”. This is a huge contrast how we normally come to see him with his ears perked up-right and pointed forward.

Nowhere else do we get to see Alastor in such a casual and comfortable state. This might be the face of a killer- but it’s a killer in puppy love.

Despite being a radioapple shipper, I honestly think that Alastor had feelings for Vox. I think the crush was mutual on both ends at this point in their relationship.

Which leads to- why the harsh rejection?

I don’t know.

While Alastor’s mockery was most definitely cruel. It seemed off to me. Almost rehearsed?

It’s likely that Al was either restricted by his deal or….. He assumed that Vox only wanted a partnership to use Alastor’s power. (Vox literally said “with your power, and my influence.”)

I personally think Alastor instinctively went to cover his own bruised ego by being as hurtful and caustic as possible. I saw the mockery as an attempt to bury the embarrassment of liking someone who (in his mind) just wanted to use him.

I have a strong feeling that if Vox had worded things just a little differently (or had simply asked Alastor on a date outright) his results would’ve been very different.

We will probably learn more about their dynamic in the upcoming episodes. But I just wanted to point this out, since I haven’t seen anyone else mention it.

~ Side note before the anti-shippers come for me.

Thank you for your time. ~

When season 1 came out, I was worried for a radiostatic fight scene because I felt like if given the chance- Alastor wouldn't hesitate to kill Vox but Vox would hesitate to kill Alastor.

Turns out it was the other way around.

[roseyswords]

Thinking back to one of Alastor's lines in Stayed Gone "here's the sugar on the cream/he asked me to join his team/ I said no and now he's pissy/that's the tea"

And Alastor frames this as if Alastor just calmly and rationally told him no and Vox is the one that took it too far (which like kinda)

But this completely downplays the way that Alastor told him no is the reason Vox hates him. Like, Alastor full on laughed at him, then called him weak and pathetic, then outright said that they were never friends. Yeah of course this guy's got a hate boner for you

Vox is ready to loose EVERYTHING in order to impress Alastor

His team

Ever since Alastor became his hostage, Vox started to treat his teammates like shit. He doesn’t respect them, bosses around even tho they’re meant to be equals and make them look unimportant. He’s doing all that only to prove he’s in control and that he doesn’t need partners anymore, he’s not that weak, pathetic man who was left at the bar.

His dream

It may be Vox’s dream to become god but it’s not his deepest desire. All he truly craves is to be respected and seen as equal by Alastor. In the next two episodes we’re gonna watch him spiral and sabotage his own plan to take over Heaven (trust me). He’s too absorbed by the idea of winning Radio Demon’s approval to lead the uprising.

Himself

I’m positive Vox is willing to betray himself and everything he stands for only to prove himself to Alastor. From the first season we’ve been witnessing as the TV man goes insane over a certain deer. Vox is obsessed to the point nothing and noone matters anymore, only his rivalship with Al.

What can I say? He’s madly in love and I can’t help but relate to that.
