Apparently I’m A Hellaverse Blog Now

Enjoying the Vee-cation! Cheers!

We see Alastor getting attached to the hotel crew in s1 and then beat himself up about it after he almost dies for them, we see him almost foil his s2 plan to defend Niffty — so we know that, despite what he proclaims, he gets attached quite easily.

Yo-ho, Yo-ho, a pirates life for me!

he pulls away in the modern day and Vox immediately lets go, there's no reason to think he wouldn't have said anything if they were really that close years ago, especially since we can see they were actually friends (no matter what Alastor says) vs Alastor only pretending to manipulate him

Alastor's just selective in who he allows to touch him, just because he notices it doesn't mean he hates it (or do we also think him watching Niffty crawl all over him means he dislikes that too?)

You sure showed him, Alastor 📻 😳

-

Alastor knows exactly who he is and he fucking OWNS it. He's the Radio Demon. Everyone knows this. He knows this. And most importantly. Alastor doesn't change this persona of himself to manipulate others. He rather uses it to his total and complete advantage. He IS the radio demon. He's ALWAYS the radio demon, regardless of what sort of friendly facade he puts on that day.

This is one of the biggest things that sets him and Vox apart.

Conversely, deep down, Vox doesn't know who the fuck he is. He constantly chases the next thing, swaps through tons and tons is personas based on the context and situation, constantly finding things to change about himself for the approval of everyone around him. Even to the point of complete insanity (more than once)

And the crazy thing is; Alastor thinks Vox knows who he is, but is just pretending he's not. Alastor beileves he knows who Vox is, but he has no idea that he actually doesn't.

He refuses to accept that it's even possible for Vox to be ANYTHING but who he beileves he is. The fact that Vox has changed and has spent this time making real, geninue loving connections with his two other Vees, and are not just using them for gain is something Alastor doesn't even entertain the thought of. He KNOWS Vox, he KNOWS that he only saw him as a tool; He's the same even if he pretends otherwise, because realizing Vox always saw Alastor as an equal, not to mention Vox mainly seeing the other Vers as his equals, would mean Alastor would have to admit he was wrong and face the reality of the fact that he was the one who threw away Vox, not the other way around.

And despite not knowing who Vox is, Alastor does know way more enough to perfectly manipulate Vox; Now Vox is his tool, and he'll let Vox think he is his little tool, but he's in control the whole time. Alastor knows Vox by in insecurites his fears and anxieties, the worst and most vurnable sides of him. Not even just to hit him where it hurts the most, but all of this manipulation is also a way for Alastor to prove himself right over and over again, a way to bring out the worst side of Vox, which Alastor beileves is Vox's true nature, ignoring all evidence that shows, when Vox isn't stressed, manipulated or isolated, he's exactly the opposite of what Alastor beileves he is in many ways.

And on Vox's side of the coin, he still cannot wrap his head around Alastor and who he is and he barely understands Alastor at all. He's also a master manipulatar, he can get into anyone's mind and figure out exactly how to pull the strings on others. But Alastor? He can't crack him open like he can for everyone else around him.

You know, even after being his best friend for years, and literally fucking falling in love with him-

Hell, even after 70 fucking years of stalking him-

And after all this time, Vox still doesn't understand who Alastor is, why he does the things he does, what motivates him to make the choices he makes.

Alastor just fucking doesn't make any sense, and Vox desperately wants it to make sense... it's a chase all from that deep wound on that night where Alastor just 180'ed on him, and he STILL doesn't know why.

Anyway I'm normal about these two men and when the air quality won't land me in the ER with an asthma attack I will go touch grass you're welcome
