StaticMoth Abuse

Featuring mentions of Angel Dust's relationship with Val

TW: ABUSE, SA

StaticMoth Abuse

SPOILERS AHEAD ↓

Here's a fact. Vox is not being abused by Valentino.

This fandom is so deep in fanon content that it heavily intertwines with canon. But let's try to understand where Val abusing Vox came from, why it's not true and how it correlates to Angel Dust's relationship with Val.

Let's begin:

In the, now archived, posts on Instagram (or voxtagram), it was revealed that Vox and Val were in a situation-ship, and canon officially confirmed it.

Now, Val as a character is heavily hated and for good reasons while Vox is not. Many people adore Vox and for that, his relationship with Val can be conflicting, adding a bit of difficulty in justifying their like for him.

Here's where Valentino's relationship with Angel Dust comes in.

Val has been shown to be abusive and to SA Angel Dust. First example of that being the Addict music video.

StaticMoth Abuse

This has created the need for people to give a reason behind Vox's relationship with Val and make excuses for him so they can validate their favoritism.

"Val is so awful! He must be abusing Vox! Breaking his screen and whatnot!"

What people don't take into consideration is the difference in their power imbalance or lack thereof.

One of the core factors in Angel Dust's relationship with Val is the power difference between them.

Val is an overlord while Angel is a sinner.

A sinner that signed a contract with Val and gave his soul. That alone makes their dynamic vastly different. Val feels it's within his right to abuse Angel, to test his limits until he breaks. And up until episode 4, Angel believed he deserved it because whatever Val did to have him sign the contract must have been his fault. Although that's not true, Angel felt so. Heck, he wanted to break himself so that Val would let him go.

StaticMoth Abuse

Vox and Val, on the other hand, don't have that. Both of them are overlords.

They are on equal footing. There is no power imbalance. In fact, the Vees could have not existed and both Vox and Val, including Velvette, would be completely fine without each other and continue to have their respective overlord status.

The reason it exists is exploitation.

StaticMoth Abuse

All three can and do use each other so they can have a more powerful front. A mutual alliance of exploitation. Within this, they have created their own fucked up bond. As a result of that, Val and Vox have an on-again, off-again relationship. It's far from healthy, but it's not an abusive one.

Vox knows of Valentino's behavior but as long as it's not effecting their shared partnership, he will not interfere nor will he care about it.

StaticMoth Abuse

Or maybe the next seasons will give me the middle finger and I'm completely wrong. Who knows? I just read a fic and saw posts about Vox being abused by Val and wanted to give my two cents on the topic.

Alastor, Vox, and their Rivalry

...or the nothing it gave us

S1 Analysis

this is based on information the show's s1 gave us. this can and will most likely change once the next seasons release.

With a red and blue background separated in the middle, Alastor stands on the left side, singing into his microphone with a smug expression and poking at the hypothetical line between him and Vox who stands on the right side royally pissed off.

disclaimer: this is not a ship analysis. you can read it however you like, but it's not intended for ship purposes

SPOILERS AHEAD ↓

Even before Vox was introduced, it was made clear that Alastor has a... distaste for modern electronics. Even so, he seems to know how to navigate them. He's familiar with TVs and their mechanics, watching and making commercials.

So let's start with:

Radio vs. TV

Alastor, Vox, And Their Rivalry

By default, both represent different eras of media: the Radio and the TV.

It's a very old classical tale of old vs. new that to this day, there's debates on it. Alastor and Vox are exactly that. The debate of which is better. The old and reliable way or the new developed way. The one that doesn't appreciate the changes being made and the one who embraces it. A Radio Demon and a TV Demon.

And they are that simple old vs. new dynamic. Different but similar.

Alastor vs. Vox

Vox first gets mentioned through the title of the Vees by Sir Pentious. And even with Alastor's response, "Oh, nobody important." we're hinted at a dynamic, in this case indifference, which is mostly how Alastor tends to treat and act towards Vox. Mostly...

Alastor, Vox, And Their Rivalry

On the other hand, Vox is obsessed. From knowing that Alastor was gone for 7 years, the hate drawing, the 'fuck alastor' mug, the cameras, the ripped photo, you can even go as far as saying their outfits– he's not subtle about it.

Alastor, Vox, And Their Rivalry

As soon as Vox learns about Alastor's return, he has an overdramatic response with his nails digging into the table, voice changing, and his cameras instantly on Alastor. In general, Vox has cameras probably all over hell, but keeping an eye on Alastor is tricky when the man glitches every time he's being recorded etc, etc. This is also stated by the fact that in the 7 years Alastor had been gone, not even Vox knew where he was.

And Alastor is very aware of the fact that Vox is watching him. So aware that he even posed for the camera (you can argue all you want, he posed). Midly encouraging the behavior as such. Either by the pose or by saying that Vox needs to try harder in his endeavor.

This is where I say that Alastor is also obsessed. In a different way but not any less.

Here's a core attribute the two demons share: Attention.

They want attention, to be the center of it. And although Alastor barely, if at all, provides Vox with it... Vox certainly does provide to the fullest, and Alastor is more than happy to let it happen. With that being said, when Vox was broadcasting the tarnishing of his name, it was a different story. He went back to his tower as quickly as possible - grabbing a cup of coffee on his way - and more or less owned Vox's ass.

Speaking of the song, it's worth noting that Alastor perfectly responded to the part of the song that was never broadcasted, the beginning. It could have been for thematic purposes. It could have been that he somehow knew, the how alludes me.

Let's bring up a certain picture:

Alastor, Vox, And Their Rivalry

Throughout episode 2, much of their relationship was hinted and kept mostly hostile, but this picture gave a whole new meaning to it all.

Alastor, the demon that distorts devices and renders them unable to capture him on film, has a photograph taken of him without any glitches. And next to him in that photograph is none other than Vox.

Meaning:

Alastor allowed the picture to be taken.

Alastor and Vox were close.

Alastor, Vox, And Their Rivalry

They had formed a bond, and the closest thing we can call it, is a friendship. But between the then and the now, something broke that bond.

One thing could have been Alastor's dislike for modern technology vs. Vox's like for evolution, which could have played a role in their fallout. As such, a chain reaction of events begins to unfold.

If it was that dislike, resulting to disagreements, where it started or not, we don't know, but we do know that their relationship fell apart after Vox asked Alastor to join his team, and he refused. They became hostile towards each other, most likely beyond repair since, before Alastor disappeared, they had a fight.

We don't know how brutal the fight was, but we do have the line, "You still pissed he almost beat you that time?". Keyword: Almost. Alastor ALMOST beat Vox but decidedly did not. From Alastor's backstory, we know he's more than capable of defeating overlords without a second thought.

Here's a question: Why didn't he kill Vox?

Alastor, Vox, And Their Rivalry

Maybe it's for stupid reasons. Maybe it's not. Who knows, but we know that he didn't kill him and that Vox was resilient enough to not be easily beaten.

One thing is for sure, the picture re-contextualizes behaviors and actions.

Although at its core, their relationship is a rivalry, adding a possible friendship changes the initial view they gave us of them.

And I'll end it by saying that Alastor calls Vox 'old pal'. If that means something or absolutely nothing, I don't know.

Alastor, Vox, And Their Rivalry

BTW! Calling Alastor obsessed isn't in the same context as Vox. Alastor is obsessed with the never-ending attention while Vox is obsessed with Alastor himself. Just a clarification. Though I wonder how many people stuck this long to read, it's not like I'm saying something new here. I can't wait for all of this to be trashed and debunked somehow in the future.

Blitzø's Name In The End Credits

A while ago, I saw someone point out that Blitzø's name on recent episodes (in the credits) had an X over the O and went to check it out. It turned out to be true and decided to keep track of it until it'll change again.

I wasn't going to search deeper than that, mostly waiting on how it'll go but I decided to check if it was any different than the ø that we're supposed to know. So...

Helluva Boss Season 1, Episode 1: Murder Family End Credits
Blitzo

When I saw this in season 1 episode 1, my jaw was on the floor.

I'm sure people have pointed this out before, I've only seen about the recent X over the O but I'm sure this ain't new. Part of me had noticed but when months pass between episodes and you don't actually pay attention to the credits, the change is so minor that it kind of never happened in my mind.

But the fact of the matter is-

Blitzo
Helluva Boss End Credits
Season 1
Episode 1: Murder Family
Episode 2: Loo Loo Land
Episode 3: Spring Broken
Episode 4: C.H.E.R.U.B
Episode 5: The Harvest Moon Festival
Episode 6: Truth Seekers
Episode 7: Ozzie's/Finale

all of season 1 had Blitzø's name written with the o. No "silent O", just Blitzo. Until...

Helluva Boss Season 1, Episode 8: Queen Bee End Credits
Blitzø

Queen Bee.

If people were around, they know Queen Bee did not release after Ozzie's but we're pretty certain it was done way before season 2 began (even though it released in the middle of it). Anyway.

Maybe the change from the o without a line and the ø with the line wasn't so weird when it happened, especially since season 2 was out and the change had already been implemented, as seen below ↓

Blitzø
Helluva Boss End Credits
Season 1 and 2
Episode 8: Queen Bee
Episode 1: The Circus
Episode 2: Seeing Stars
Episode 3: Exes and Oohs
Episode 4: Western Energy

But it only lasts up until Western Energy. After that...

Blitzx
Helluva Boss End Credits
Season 2
Episode 5: Unhappy Campers
Episode 6: Oops
Episode 7: The Mammon's Magnificent Musical Mid-Season Special (ft Fizzarolli)
Episode 8: Full Moon
Episode 9: Apology Tour

The X appears.

This is definitely on purpose, I simply can't figure out the purpose. My only theory is that it's supposed to represent Blitzø's declining mental health and severe self-hatred/low self-image taking a hold. I do not know. I can only point out the events on the previous episodes before the changes were done.

Ozzie's/Finale: Blitzø was faced with his past in the most disastrous way, ending with the start of his relationship with Stolas falling apart. His self image crumbled further.

Western Energy: Blitzø was faced with the fact that Stolas can get/be hurt. His view of the immortal/untouchable Stolas crumbled. Assumption, he might blame himself for not being there.

I don't know, I'm just thinking and I'll probably be obsessed with this until we see what else they do.

What a fascinating thing it is to re-read something.

A while back, I had a theory about Kou and Yashiro messing with the timeline. More specifically, putting in motion the events of the yugi twins lives. That was back in December 2021, and I never ended up posting that theory. (it's still in my drafts)

What A Fascinating Thing It Is To Re-read Something.

The reason I'm bringing it up is because of recent events in the manga and a little theory of what the clock keepers changed.

Spoilers

It's fairly obvious that Hanako or Amane, more precisely, never killed Tsukasa, meaning that the 4 years old Tsukasa that Kou and Yashiro met in the red house never went back.

If it hasn't clicked yet...

I think the clock keepers changed a present type of event rather than a past one. Since Tsukasa in the new present still seems to be possessed and Amane lived beyond his 13 years old self (and got possessed as well wtf), it means that they never changed the event of Amane killing Tsukasa because it never happened. No, they changed Kou and Yashiro ever meeting toddler Tsukasa in the red house.

What A Fascinating Thing It Is To Re-read Something.

Tsukasa returned because Kou told him that Amane died at 13 and killed him as well. If the event of Yashiro and Kou going in the house had never happened in the first place, then the young boy would never go back. And in the new present, he didn't. Something else is going on with the both of them [Tsukasa, Amane] this time around, sure, but I do believe that at least one of the core things the clock keepers changed was that meeting in the red house.

Don't think I'm the first one to point this out. I just have a wack timing for it since I keep these things to myself.

OMIGOD REDDIE SOULMATE AU ANGST WARNING***

“soulmate au where instead of your soulmates first words to you written on your skin it’s their last words you ever hear them say so you don’t know who your soulmate is until you lose them”

((couldn't find the post so i just wrote it lol sorry))

BUT what if the words appear as they die??

((and the words appear as they die, where they last touched you so you don’t even know what they say at all until they’re dead.. i know it’s a stretch but i had to make it like this because otherwise it would’ve been too obvious to them lol)

so imagine, in the sewers, last time, when Eddie’s bleeding out, about to die,

1. as Eddie wipes Richie’s tears from his cheek, telling him not to call him “Eds”, they appear under his thumb on Richie’s cheek, without him being aware.  when the other losers see the writing, they either a) do allow Richie to take Eddie with them, or b) still say no because they know it will hurt Richie a lot more to see Eddie after he finds out.

or

2. Richie’s holding Eddie’s face in his hands (like in Pennywise’s house when they’re about to die) and, as Eddie is telling him one last time not to call him “Eds”, while Richie is breaking down, sobbing into his hands (which are now covering his face, obviously, lol), as he pulls them away, he sees writing on his palms, reading; “don’t call me that” ((or whatever Eddie says, sorry i didn’t get that far into the book idk) this can be before or after Richie kisses his cheek, i can’t decide)

Me, hiding in the corner with a whole a$$ SCP crossover story with my own SCPs getting discovered by the Foundation and angst, fluff, and shenanigans ensue: y-Yeah! Bring it back! (*^^*)

(I’ll probably bring it back by introducing my own SCP story. Maybe. ..If anyone’s interested (;><) )

Can we bring back SCP? Cause it’s not popular anymore, even if it’s like spookymonth last year and comes back for a few months due to a hot character it’d still be better than nothing it’s like it’s disappeared expect for a few Roblox games :(

(Also ignore the fuck ton of tags i just wanted this to be seen, not really sure how to do tags so shit spreads)

INAUGURAL TUMBLEY POST

Hey guys, now I'm on THIS site too! I can be in multiple places at once, like Adam Sandler in that shit movie.

I'm not entirely sure what direction this blog's gonna go in. It might be updates on projects, sketchbook doodles, little gifs of things I'm animating, or even a bit of animation theory and philosophy and stuff. Hopefully it'll be all these mixed into a fine paste.

Let's start with a sketchbook doodle seeing as the scanner is already on.
