Little Vox Animation That I Did. He Looked Too Innocent So I Gave Him A Little Smirk

Little Vox animation that I did. He looked too innocent so I gave him a little smirk

Bruh such a good take

We need more Radiostatic AUs where Alastor OWNS Vox's soul. I want Alastor to lay eyes on freshly deceased Sinner!Vox and his freaky picture box head with RADIO antennas attached at the top and broadcast a signal in his direction, smile sharpening when Vox startles as he picks it up and their eyes meet for the first time — He will make the perfect pet.

I want Vox to be so, so grateful to finally meet a well-mannered guy who looks at him with a smile instead of a sneer, and I want him to shake his hand without realizing what is at stake, and what he's done. I want weeks, months to pass as Alastor watches Vox get acquainted with this new, crazy reality, latching onto him for companionship and support, picking up his mannerisms like an imprinting duckling, delightfully hilarious in his attempts to impress him. I want Alastor to keep up the charade of the sarcastic and detached, condescendingly fond, impredictible mentor figure. Endlessly amused and perhaps genuinely fond of this clueless little mouse who want to make the cat purr. Vox turns out to be even more entertaining than he thought — full of ambition, spreading his wings and ascending to power much faster than expected. The higher he climbs, the more delicious the crushing desperation in his eyes will be when he finally realizes.

(That's what he keeps telling himself, but isn't he stalling for time?)

Husk art! Making my way through the cast

Still frame from my animation. This is what me go 'hmm, what if I animate eyes/face??'

Sooo about Vox and Alastor...

The Radio Demon controls radio waves. Guess what?

Over-the-air television: Television broadcasting through radio waves, from a transmitter (TV station) to a receiver (TV antennae)

Satellite television: A TV signal transmitted by radio waves from a satellite.

Cable television: Radio frequency signals transmitted via cables

Until the early 2000s, TV signals were entirely transmitted through analogue signals: for decades, the original television technology only worked thanks to RADIO technology.

Those antennae on Vox's head? They're 'rabbit ears'!! Dipole receivers, meant to intercept radio waves broadcasted by TV stations, convert them to radio frequency electric currents, and send those to the TV via a radio currents transmission line, to be converted and processed to produce pictures and sounds.

It makes perfect sense for Vox and Alastor to have been "pals". Alastor calls him an " old pal" mockingly, but there's no way Vox would have been able to implement any kind of TV technology in Hell without the help of radio technology - technology that Alastor had control over. For decades, TV was literally radio with pictures. Alastor used to tolerate him (despite Vox encroaching on his territory) at worst, but might have supported him at best!

In my opinion, the beef between them comes from Vox's transition from Analogue to Digital, aka the digital switchover.

When Vox asked Alastor to join his team, it's possible he suggested Alastor switches to digital radio broadcasting (better sound quality, less transmission power required, a compressed digitized signal that allows for more radio programs in the same radio spectrum...). Of course, Alastor didn't care for that.

Was Vox's transition (partly) motivated by a desire to be more independent from Alastor? In any case, he's certainly not that much more independent now: streaming television and the streaming platforms & other services available on digital TVs depend on internet connectivity. And Wi-Fi uses radio waves.

In other words: Alastor's radio waves still live in Vox's TV head rent free, in the most literal way possible :3

god's work tbh

okay so

maybe I shouldn’t have free will anymore

vox.

in.

bikinis.
