Addicted to the sorrow

tell me you love it. tell me it made you slam your laptop shut. tell me you brought it up at your college lecture about kink. key smash in all caps. quote the passage that made you think. i promise, we’ll love it.

not sure if it’s “new” but in the past couple days, my friends and I have each been receiving about dozens of this exact message with the exact same script from various random blogs.

but instead of empty blogs that are very obviously bots, these blogs all have profile pictures and reblogs on their blogs like any other normal blogs. although if you scroll down far enough, most of them are very recently created, with the first ever reblogs from their blogs being from less than a week ago — which makes me think they’re newly created blogs with reblogs and profile pictures, so that they’re not very obviously bots anymore. but they all use the same script.

obviously I did not contact them, and I have all of them blocked and reported. because I know if I did contact them, they would try and convince me that my blog wad somehow “compromised” one way or another, and then they’d say I’d have to contact this random guy on discord (instead of tumblr support) and then I’d have to change the email I associated my blog with to their new email that they gave me. then boom. the second my blog was registered with their email, they had control of everything, and chances were that I’d never be able to get my blog back. or worse, they had access to my personal information too. it’s all the same scam tactics.

do NOT fall for them. do NOT contact any shady, random person on discord or any other platform. the ONLY way you contact support when you have an issue with your blog is directly through tumblr support. not a random guy on discord.

I’m not disclosing their url because even though I’m 90% sure it’s a bot, I don’t want to accidentally send people to harass an innocent person in case of the blog having originally belonged to an innocent person before they were hacked. because when these scammers/bots hack someone’s blog, they use the blog to further scam other people, since the blog was originally a legit blog, it won’t look “empty and obviously a bot”.

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.
