#just thinking...

late spring early summer means fresh produce and staying up way too late to watch the series against the wild, pacing during intermissions and cooking for one

getting a little too excited when he fully bodies qh43 without missing a beat

facetimes spent talking and admiring his beard but also worrying abt him...he needs his rest...but the promise of the cup...“don’t worry babe—silver’s your color this year!”

“....”

“what’d i say?”

“...i’m hanging up”

but he still lets a little grumbly love ya slip through

giggling over the pool clip...but not maliciously bc nate’s smile when he comes up on the wall is impeccable...texting him you’d play mermaids with him anytime

stupid puck to the nose and all you can do is curse devon but it was just wrong place at the wrong time...2nd period intermission he laughs so hard at the concerned stream of texts when he peeks at it that he gets the blood flowing again

Like the most Val ever shows is mild annoyance when Vox grabs him and Velvette during Stayed Gone and when Vox screamed that watching Alastor getting his ass beat was "better than sex" (which Val noticeably frowns at. Though if I was the Overlord of Porn, I would feel insulted as well.)

But otherwise? Val seems utterly amused by how pathetic Vox is about Alastor and even teases him for it. Upon learning Alastor returned, it's all "What did you just say?!" And Val just coyly says, "You heard me~". He grabs Vox's cheek with the same mocking gesture as Vox did to him moments before when he was upset even!

But on the flipside, it's abundantly more clear that Vox is jealous of Val's tendency to pay any attention to Angel.

He was practically ignoring this conversation until the slight chance that Angel might be gone comes up and then he's all smiles--only to immediately return his attention to his phone once Val told him otherwise.

And of course, we have this scene with Poison where Vox was sincerely bringing Val's hands closer to his chest, only for him to notice Angel, immediately sour and leave. Val, in turn, seems cross as well afterward.

So what am I getting at with all of this? I guess I just find it intriguing that Vox does seem to be considerably more possessive towards Valentino than vice versa when it comes to jealousy. Vox always has cameras everywhere, watching his off and on partner. He seems to be somewhere between annoyed about Angel to uncomfortable when he's around to the point of wanting to leave what was clearly something of a romantic moment between him and Val.

It makes me wonder if Vox's true undoing is his need for control and his insecurities. It's clear he had a past with Alastor only to seemingly flip all the way over to a hectic relationship with Valentino, who he knows is a porn director and thereby will consistently sleep with people outside of him. And yet, he's stuck on Val just as much as Alastor.

It's not a new observation that Vox is clearly terrified of a loss of control of others and of people who were close to him leaving him.

The main timeline is messed up thinking MH is not real and that nobody got hurt sighs.. nobody probably looked for them or cared about the videos Jay posted.

Morning :))
