Thinking about me that often?

In my headcanon they Abandoned him either as a baby or as a child. Hence why he has major abandonment issues

I was definitely gonna say Vox probably didn't have parents or something along that sort. Poor baby, I'm thinking like I need to look into when he was born again but considering he comes from an old time period imagine it being something like neglect. Parents were too busy to actually play and be around him and if that was the case I can also see Vox being sent to different relatives so they could deal with him. Hm imagine this as well, Vox was abandoned because of something with his face.

I've heard people say that his form contributed to how he died but consider it being something else like Vox was born with some sort of deformity, he grew up quite alone because of it.. grew a deep bond with TV because it gave him comfort like those kids that sit cross legged super close to the TV and they can't seem to pull away, something like that.

He got into the wrong crowd, seen some things and became a product of his environment which is probably why he'd later lead himself into working with Valentino because old habits can and do die hard.

I can totally roll with the idea of him being abandoned from a young age, like in reality it had nothing to do with Vox but he was made into believing so. I feel like if that's somewhat the case not only does it explain him working as he does in Hell, why he has those abandonment issues, and why in the face of the public he's more than willing to put on a fake smile and act like it's all okay.

Most people in Hell are dumb so he's not worried about it.

I think I mentioned this in another post but in case I haven't Vox we have now is really just a shell of the old Vox we had before.

SEND ME A FANDOM AND I’LL TELL YOU:

Character I first fell in love with:

Tony Stark. The one that got me into Superhero fandoms was Peter Parker, but the one to make me fall in love with them was this traumatized, perfectly flawed, human character trying to do good. An actual person with realistic severe PTSD and realistic responses to dealing with the shit that hits the fan.

Yeah. Tony Stark.

Character I never expected to love as much as I do now:

Bucky Barnes. Never really caught my eye in CA:FA for being the type of ladies man I usually steer clear of, but TWS and CA:CW shifted my whole perspective, and I realized there’s always more to what meets the eye.

Don’t get me wrong, don’t think I just started to like him for turning so broken. I did because I saw the guy beneath the soldier with a toothpick for a best friend. Another regular Joe (in this case James) looking for a purpose in the world.

Character everyone loves but I don’t:

Loki. I just can’t sympathize with him. He’s fun to have around sometimes in fics, but what he did was terrifyingly wrong. So because he’s adopted, he’s entitled to taking over a planet? Or two?

Maybe I’m missing something here that Loki fans can explain, but I just don’t get the hype. Tom Hiddleston? Yeah. Loki? Nah.

Character I love but everyone else hates:

Again, Tony Stark. People don’t seem to know how to properly read in between the lines. So, they hate on what they think they see: an arrogant, self-centered, sarcastic asshole.

What I see is an insecure, PTSD and childhood-trauma riddled man who was taught to hide it all this way (‘I think I’m the worst, so I’ll act like I’m the best’).

He is a sarcastic asshole, I’ll give the haters that, but then again so is Spider-Man and basically everyone loves him.

Character I used to love but don’t any longer:

I’ll say Steve Rogers. I used to like the flung-out-of-time old granpa, stuck in a super-soldier body in the 21st century. The guy who just wanted to save the world and didn’t hesitate in doing so simply because of his size.

But Civil War has painted him as a hypocritical douche who judges others for something he’s done himself. Fury didn’t tell Steve about Bucky, Steve righteously chastised him for so. He was his best friend, he deserved to know, even with Bucky’s predicament.

Steve didn’t tell Tony about Bucky, and suddenly Tony’s in the wrong? Tony didn’t deserve to know because it was a long time ago? Because it wasn’t really Bucky? So I’ll say it again, with a reversed meaning:

He was his best friend, he deserved to know, even with Bucky’s predicament.

Character I would kiss:

Lmao either Bucky or Peter. Bucky because he’s a fine motherf*cker, Peter because he’s a sweet cinnamon roll and deserves kisses.

… Then again, the last one applies to both.

Character I want to slap:

Natasha. Or better yet, Wanda. Not sure it would be wise to slap the Black Widow or the Scarlet Witch, but it’s what I want. One is a shallow, constant backstabber and the other is a petulant child. But because they’re ‘female superheros’ I’m expected to like them, which is bullshit.

Comic Wanda seems to be better according to some people, but movie Wanda gets on my nerves.

A pairing I love:

Currently it’s Spideypool, and with the current actors, but I only like it if Peter is either aged up or Wade is aged down. Both is best. You can simply picture Peter with Tom’s age or look into how Ryan Reynolds looked when he was younger and imagine him blond. Not that hard. (Btw there’s a sad lack of fics like this, please take note spideypoolers)

I also like Winteriron, because hello, metal arm plus crazy engineer equals entertainment.

A pairing I hate:

I’m… not actually sure? I dislike Pepperony for some reason I can’t place and I can’t find it in me to like Stucky, but I don’t outright hate the pairings. There’s no honor in shaming or need to shame ships, so I don’t.

People like what they like and that’s that. Why should I bash them for it?

He stares up at them, then at the cigarettes on the table. Although he's stupid, he associates Ashes with cigarettes. He climbs up the table and picks up the box, he then proceeds to run back over to them and drop the box at their feet

Ashes raises an eyebrow before picking up the box, lighting a cigarette, and raising it to their lips. They take a drag before leaning down and scratching stringbean’s head

For Lucifer I kinda mean after the fall. And for Vox and Alastor I mean When they were young alive

TW FOR POST (just in case)

The fall definitely fucked Lucifer up but you said after so I'll say Lilith deciding to leave him. They have a daughter after everything in Heaven, after everything with Eden and Lucifer loves so hard that he almost feels like it's his fault for even falling in love with her in the first place. It's like he feels like even though he loves her, all the courting he did to have her live the rest of her existence just for her to run away leaves him so heartbroken even though he tried to keep those emotions to himself.

I think I mentioned someone saying Vox's head being crushed by a TV was a good one but outside of that one maybe child neglect. Or in worse cases, depending on his family and the time period Vox could have easily been a product of trafficking... Selling his body around just to please others and get points for doing such "good jobs" making him vulnerable to people like that. Gang activity could have been included considering the time period and Vox could have gotten hurt really bad out there.

Alastor probably went through having the best childhood aoit of these three but I've also seen scenarios of him being a hunter when he was alive and human. Probably found himself in a life or death situation with a bear or a pack of wild dogs. Like they snuck up on him, took some bites and hurt him leaving Alastor to genuinely have to fight for his life to get away and make it back home to his mother.

Love language basically means what gets them in an romantic mood

Between the three is so hard to answer. I tend to drift more towards one of the other depending but maybe I do enjoy Lucifer the most. (Vox close second)

I think it's because I relate to him on though fact that maybe he loved the wrong people too hard and got fucked over. But then again I really enjoy Lucifer's personality from the "TAKE THAT DEPRESSION!" to the moment when he was so angry with Adam that he calmed down considerably after Charlie reached out to him. Like maybe because of his story in Hazbin plus his mythos I've been able to really cling to his character for comfort. I do the same with Alastor and Vox but sometimes I really feed into their angst more than anything else.

Like in my mind Lucifer really did nothing wrong but love others who didn't deserve his love and so really I feel like out of the three I adore him the most because I relate with him there but in order for me it's Luci, Vox, and Alastor though it's so close that there's definitely not a race lol.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE:

For love languages I feel like they have multiple but Lucifer's is words of affirmation, Vox's is acts of service and Alastor's is definitely quality time.

Me myself I see Lucifer as a Pisces Vox as a Genimi and Alastor as a Scorpio ♏

Honestly you did really good on that. I could see them being those though Gemini for Vox is hitting and missing for me 😩. Hm, I've dug into zodiac signs a few times so let me take this seriously lol

Lucifer - considering how compassionate he is especially for his family water placements may be strong. Though when he's angry it's a bit more spicy. I think a water signs anger could seem fiery at times so maybe Sagittarius would be another good pick for Lucifer. They are explorers, and can be playful but they also have big and strong feelings and I've seen in cases where they may genuinely care little for someone compared to people they actually love.

Considering he's THE devil I think in the scenario of causing what he had in Eden but unintentionally having that lead to chaos is giving that Pisces energy you mentioned. Like he really had done that out of love and attention the time is went to ruin. Sounds right to me lol.

Vox - Gemini is a good pick, realistically Vox seems to be capable of making big plans and ideas and actually finishing them. He seems innovative, only being held down when he can't afford to fight back and that's definitely giving air sign if I've ever seen it. Vox can be rather explosive though from time to time, easy to anger, and that's why I think I'm also seeing either a fire placement like Leo or an earth placement like Capricorn. He's hardworking and could possibly sell himself out if it means making more sells so I'm definitely getting pulled towards the Gemini and Capricorn placements. Like Vox is so collected until he's not and I think those two placements hold those features from time to time.

Alastor - I have to admit I think he does fit really well here. Scorpio's kinda have a vibe to them that can make them seem unapproachable. I think it's like being stoic but in Alastor's case he's always smiling so it's a bit more sinister in nature. There's so many memes of scorpios and their emotions but they are rather introspective even when others may not really see it. They like their space when they do, they have their comfort people they like to be around versus anyone else, and they tend to enjoy more time alone because they may feel like they are a bit different from others. Alastor gives that so much and if not Scorpio perhaps Virgo?

I say Virgo because they are said to be connected to the mother and Alastor loves his mom but outside of that while being able to hold their boundaries Virgos seem to do well with taking care of others and lending a hand to those they value. He helps out at the hotel so much and can't help but feel like this placement is brought out in the scenes like when they went to cannibal town. He was so encouraging there even if he didn't put too much into making a big scene out of it.

Hm, lemme know what you think and of course others can chip in as well. I'm kinda spit balling hehe.

Also don't apologize for the asks, I love em, they got me thinking for real lol
