it's just like- Vex always brushes Scanlan off to his face but whenever he's not around/in danger she's one of the first ones to worry over him.
and I feel like that makes them even more compelling, to Me, at least. Because, on the other hand, it's so clear she cares for Percy which makes sense because they're very obviously setting up the ship
but she's such a guarded person, you know? so to me, the people she pushes away the most are the ones i'm most intrigued about her relationship with. I want to know more about her and Keyleth because she's outwardly been quite snotty at times but in battle they play off each other so effectively. She rolls her eyes at Scanlan, but she she'd never purposefully leave him behind
SCANLAN SHORTHALT & VEXâAHLIA IN THE LEGEND OF VOX MACHINA (2022â)
I am so much more than âa dude.â
And sheâs not perfect. But sheâs the most perfect of all of us.

I think that more than anything, theyâve just missed you, darling.
okay, so i really, really enjoy the choice of making vex vox machinaâs âleaderâ for as much as they can have a leader.
for one, it helps me sort out my internal struggle of who the potential leader is between percy, vex, and scanlan, who i think all contain leadership qualities and then i donât have to make a decision.
and thereâs a lot i could say about vex as a leader and why i like that they went this direction. one thing is that i really enjoy how disconnected vex is from it. vex is actually the biggest flight risk vox machina has all season (not counting pikeâs journey, as pike always intended to reunite with VM). we see her bring it up to vax multiple times, even after the big battle in the finale (to which vax says he thinks theyâre done with that, and i think even though vex made the potential comment, she also agreed they were done running at that point).Â
but i think because of this internal struggle, the terrifying concept of getting *gags* close to people who arenât vax, vex has 0% idea that the others think of her as a leader. and itâs very apparent in episode 11, when VM is all trapped in the acid trap and turn to vex, whoâs startled that sheâs the one being turned to for direction and haphazardly shouts an order that probably went with out saying to, well, stop the acid. she doesnât know how to be a leader yet, and sheâs barely even accepted the group, but that doesnât mean the others see her the way she sees herself.
now i could go on more about leader!vex but that wasnât actually my point here- my point is actually about vex and scanlan. something surprising to me this season was just how much they emphasized the vex & scanlan relationship, more than iâd say they even pushed grog & scanlan, who are very obviously good friends from the campaign and have a lot more significant scenes together in c1 than vex and scanlan do.
but the choice to emphasize vex/scanlan is interesting to me. because if youâll remember from above, scanlan was one of my potential leader options. and you know who the biggest proponent of âscanlan is the leader of vox machinaâ was? you guessed it. vexâahlia. in one of the earliest interactions with tary, he asks if grog is the leader because heâs the biggest, to which vex replies:
our leader isnât with us right now. vex has seen scanlan as the leader for a lot of the campaign, has put him in this role of authority and in many ways looks up to him. this is made even more clear in dalenâs closet when scanlan asksâwhy me? iâm like the weirdest choiceâ when vex asks scanlan to walk her down the aisle, the position a father would usually take:
and vex says, âbut itâs really not. youâre really not.â vex has always looked up to scanlan, so much so that she asked him to walk her down the aisle in the position of a father- or as is probably much more relevant to who vex wouldâve preferred walk her down an aisle, an older brother. he is someone whose opinion she respects and whose judgment she trusts.
so how does this relate to the legend of vox machina? well, with the early establishment of scanlan & vex... scanlan might be one of the only people who can make vex believe sheâs a leader. considering that vex considers scanlan the leader, i think she might have to hear it from him that vox machina considers vex their leader (or at least, turns to her in times of crisis). someone whose authority vex trusts telling her that she is a decision maker, she is someone other people look to, and that she needs to embrace that role.
is all the groundwork there for that yet? absolutely not. for one, i think they vastly need to up TLOVM scanlanâs intelligence to be more in par with his campaign intelligence (and I donât mean stat-based INT, i mean intelligence) for TLOVM vex to really consider him a leader the way that campaign vex does. but i do think thereâs a lot of potential there with setting up the vex/scanlan relationship early that in times of crisis, while everyone turns to vex, vex turns to scanlan, who can then help her become the leader sheâs meant to be.
im just gonna say if u donât understand vexlan you donât understand me
