Hope I can say this without being called a fake Vox fan and that maybe some people agree with me, but I gotta admit I’m a little worried about next season.

Viv mentioned today about how some of the things that happen in season 2 might feel too similar to what’s going on now and not gonna lie I really don’t love the idea of Vox resembling Trump one bit. I 1 million percent have no idea why my brain chose to latch onto him as one of my favorite characters of all time, but it did and I’m pretty nervous about it. It’s not like I don’t expect Vox to be an evil piece of shit. I’m not gonna lie I’d love to see him redeemed but I’m not delusional. I have zero expectations for him ever becoming a ‘good’ character but to be Trump levels of bad? And I’m not one of those people either who are like Val’s just a bad influence and he needs to be rescued or whatever. I like Vox as a shitty guy! I don’t need or want some scapegoat for him to be! Admittedly I don’t care for Val but that’s because I find him boring more than anything else. And I’m trying to think theoretically if there’s anything Vox could do that would make me stop liking him and while I can’t I’m just still kinda worried. Like even if he killed one of the main cast I think I’d still like him?

I don’t know if I just like him more as the kind of cartoony silly villain? Part of his appeal to me is how intelligent and manipulative he is so I would love to see that play out on screen but I do also love him as a cringefail loser. I dunno maybe I’m just worried about him losing some of the silliness?

(Also slightly unrelated I am worried about Vox’s liveliness considering I have no idea how a sinner could win against the actual King of Hell but that’s a whole different fear)

I dunno, I try and think about it like how I view Alastor now. I don’t actually like a lot of how he is in the show but for some reason (probably a lot attributing to the potential backstory of Radiostatic whoops) he’s still one of my favorite characters. I’m sure there’ll be the day he can stop pretending to play nice and be a real antagonist and that idea doesn’t bother me even though I’d also like him to be ‘good’ so maybe I’m just letting other fans talk of how ‘when people see how Vox really is they’re not going to like him anymore’ get to me. I don’t know about tumblr but I’ve seen quite a few posts on twitter celebrating the ‘purge’ that’s going to happen when Vox actually does bad things and it’s always felt kinda bitter and weird to me, like they’re intentionally trying to get people afraid and are excited to see people like him less. Then again, it almost always seems to be in the context of him being as bad as Val so I think it’s mainly people being bitter other people like him but not Val.

Either way, does anyone else feel like this? Is there anything ‘too far’ he could do that would make you dislike him?

Hopefully I’m worrying for nothing and I’ll get to happily enjoy him being a dick next season :)
