I Like To Call Vox “The Video Demon”, Just Because I Want To, I Think It Has A Nice Ring To It, Don’t Ya Think? Just Look At HIM!
He’s A Walking, Talking, Television That Uses VIDEO Cameras To Spy On Other Demons. He Even Says It Himself In “Stayed Gone” And I Quote “While He Hid In Radio, We’ve Pivoted To Video!” And Alastor Calls Him In The Same Song; Again I Quote “A Cloud Chasing, Medicare, Video Podcast.”
It Also Fits With His Whole Dynamic With Alastor; Radio And Video Have Are Different Types Of Entertainment But They Share Things In Common.
So the reason Alastor made a deal with another demon (probably Lilith) is because he wanted to be stronger so no one could control him. Now here’s my idea: Alastor and Vox fell in love, but during a fight, Alastor was hurt because he was paying attention to Vox. Either that or he realized that Vox was holding him back, so he went to Lilith asking that she take away his emotions and give him more power while Lilith gets his soul in return.
Bonus: If and when Alastor breaks out of the deal, he has all the emotions and feeling he had about Vox return to him and they get together.

wouldn't it be uniquely awful if voxval turns out to be healthy. if he and vox cuddle, if they do aftercare, if they genuinely look out for each other. wouldn't it be especially painful for angel to see val being warm & happy & doting with vox immediately after forcing angel to work sixteen hours straight in the studio with no breaks. if we see more scenes like the end of poison, where angel is miserable and traumatized and then he looks out over the balcony and sees voxval tenderly holding hands. if we have to struggle with the painful reality that all too often, someone can be both a violent abuser and a caring boyfriend, and neither one negates the other
I know a lot of people are hoping for it, but I actually kinda hate the idea of Vox hypnotizing Alastor. Not because I think it’s out of character or anything like that (man is a narcissistic villain it’s been known) but I just really like the idea of Vox simply not being able to.
Fair warning! A lot of this is based on my many headcanons 😅
I’ve heard people headcanon that Vox and Val are kind of neutralized against one another. Vox can’t smell Val’s smoke and Val can’t see Vox’s hypnosis. I like this a lot! Except (whoops I can’t remember if this is canon or just my headcanon) Val’s saliva is the aphrodisiac, meaning enough kissing or even spitting in Vox’s drink and he could be drugged. Similarly, I think with enough time and patience Vox could hypnotize Val or any other sinner that has an advantage by having poor eyesight. It’s probably harder to start and maintain, but it can be done. And I love the idea that with enough patience and cleverness Vox and Val are dangerous to each other! I think it’d work super well with their dynamic in the show of them being partners who care about one another and are working together but could be pushed to betray one another for the right price! It’d be hard to convince them, just as it’d be hard for it to actually work, but it can be done.
Now back to Vox and Alastor, I want it to be impossible for Vox to hypnotize Al. Oh he can try. He can keep Alastor bound and staring at him forever and it still wouldn’t work. Why? Not because he’s too powerful or smart or anything like that but simply because they’re too similar.
(Another headcanon whoops) I like to think Vox can hypnotize people because he can manipulate people’s brain waves the same way you would radio waves. He can turn on and off signals to parts of the brain the same way you tune in to get a good signal. Essentially, he forces them to follow and listen to his signals.
But then there’s Alastor, the radio demon, the one who can broadcast to all of hell with nothing more than a thought. Alastor, who has been manipulating signals and radio waves long before Vox was even in Hell. It just doesn’t work on him. He can’t be brute forced switched like Vox usually does or even gently coaxed and proded like with Val. They’re already broadcasting on the same radio waves, after all, and while television might dominate that space now, it has always been mastered and belonged to radio, to Alastor. He’s immune simply from how he functions alone. Vox would be better off trying to screw with the signals to give Alastor a migraine than he ever would be trying to hypnotize him.
And I think ultimately this would represent their relationship very well too! Vox may have more going for him in this modern age (may have advantages like hypnosis) but Alastor is older. He doesn’t need to rely on tricks when his reputation alone is enough to get him where he needs to be. Besides, they’re two halves of the same coin (I say in delusional Radiostatic). They use the same radio waves, know each other’s frequency by heart, and can always tune in to one another’s signals. They’re equals no matter what fancy powers Vox develops or how many years Alastor disappears. They were always going to be equals the second Vox fell to Hell because they are the only two who can manipulate the radio waves, an entire powerful subsection of Hell just for the two of them. My guess is that’s why Alastor was ever interested in Vox in the first place.
But beyond shipping I do hope we get to see just how similar and connected they are in season two. I really do think it would be much more symbolic if Vox can’t hypnotize Alastor no matter how hard he tries (just like he can’t get Alastor to respect him no matter what he does) when that should really be the one thing he has over Al. No matter how powerful Vox gets or what he does, Alastor is always going to be just out of reach. And for a man like Vox who seems to always get what he wants, I think that might drive him to do some absolutely wild things in the next season.
(And of course for Alastor it’s a safety and a relief. He can remain confident that he can always best Vox no matter what. No matter how much more Vox seems to grow than him, he’s fine in the past and his stagnation and his ideals. Vox is obviously wrong about his whole philosophy, he has to be. The TV’s evolution could never truly pose a threat to him, could it?)
There's something about those radiostatic depictions where Vox is ruthless and evil in the eyes of everyone but Alastor that makes me so gooey and happy. Alastor, who's hell's version of a nightmare, a despicable, eldritch monster plaguing people's minds, but has a soft spot for this odd television man. Alastor who is fully aware of the cunning and ambition of this sinner but still chooses to be gentle with him, as though he's something fragile, something precious, something important, something worth cherishing. And Vox who sees this bloodthirsty killer who can snuff him out like a light, but instead chooses to see the man hiding underneath. Vox who just can't be afraid of Alastor even if he tried to. I love unhinged, toxic radiostatic, but soft radiostatic you will always have my heart
Radiosilence comic I made for school!! ^^ Teehee 🤭 WE’RE BALLING OUR EYES OUT WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️‼️‼️
baby boy baby... evil
a quick animation of crt vox i made instead of sleeping
is it wrong that I think Vox might be scared to leave the tower?
Like…he didn’t leave V tower at all during the whole of season one.
Could he have some kind of agoraphobia?
Dumb valangel hc
The fat nuggets is actually the second pig
Val lost the first one and had to in panic mode find a replacement asap
Angel has no idea

I actually really like the idea of Vox having had a stutter when he was alive. Vox speaks in a very rhythmic way, putting emphasis at pretty regular intervals, very syncopated. This super controlled way of speaking, with focus on a fluid speech pattern, is one of the handful of ways speech therapists help patients overcome stutters, and that rhythmic speech pattern coupled with the way he literally glitches through words when he’s worked up and not focusing on his rhythm rlly drives that home for me.
I’m just v taken with the concept of Vox having this stutter from when he was a kid, and so studiously and rigorously learning how to control it for the sake of his image and his aspirations to work on television, that no one has any idea he has it bc he keeps it so controlled. Which does make the idea that Alastor can get him to drop it enough to fall back into that stutter rlly fun.

Ya necesito noticias de la temporada 2 🥹💙
I hope this isn't too much to ask, but could we see hazbintot alastor and vox genuinely getting along? I just think it would be cute 🥰
☔ tots in the rain ☔
anyways i'd kill for a slow vox/alastor duet in s2 that spans both past and present where neither of them are actually singing the lyrics out loud, lamenting on the things they feel that they'd never actually say, and the longing they feel for the other in the present about how they'll never get their friendship or that moment back
