Elijah, he, I draw art in my free time from working as a psychologist. Alas, English is not my first language or even my second, but I try. Fetishist, I love bdsm, horror and classical music. I don't know which is more terrible.
when vox glitches out during “stayed gone,” his screen shows the following message:
“a problem has been detected and vox has been shut down to prevent damage to his systems
the problem seems to be caused by the following file: alastor.exe
vox.exe_crash_error_eat_shit_alastor
check to make sure all (fucking 1930’s looking ass) hardware is up to date and properly installed. ask vox for any voxtek updates you might need.
if problems continue (fuck you alastor) disable or remove any alastor(s) from the general vicinity. if you need to use ‘unsafe mode’ reset your voxtek device. press f5 and select ‘advanced startup options’ then select ‘unsafe mode’.
technical information:
*** stop: alastor.exe (u old tiny prick radio) ***.”
i’ve put more effort into looking at every frame of this portion of the show than any studying i’ve done within this past month lmao
NOT TO MAKE ANOTHER "LOOK AT THIS STAYED GONE FRAME" POST BUT THIS ONE IS MORE MISSABLE THAN THE MULTIPLE TIMES VOX DOES THE RAINBOW TV BARS. literally a blink and you miss it frame. cause why is it a literal straight up BI FLAG right after alastor reveals vox tried to ask him to join his "team". like the rainbow tv bars you could brush off as them just deciding to colour the tv error bars a bit different. but this. this is just the fucking bi flag like there's no ifs ands or buts about it. what was the reason.
That's the last thing I expected from myself, that I would sketch the humanization of a character who so categorically does not attract me by design. Seriously, is his head a flat-screen TV? That's how it's easier for me to take Vox seriously.
As we know, Vox died in the 50s. I love this era.
Headcannons:
📺 Died, literally burned out at work. To catch a fatal heart attack shortly before forty, you need to make an effort, but Vox is diligent. He did it.
He worked, of course, as a TV presenter.
📺 Died on the air. That's partly why it looks like this.
📺 Since in the 50s, in order to be at least some kind of media personality, it was necessary to have at least a passable, pleasant appearance (we are talking about television), he took his new posthumous appearance very hard. He still has a complex, but he hides it perfectly.
📺 Hidden sexist, 50s! But admitted Velvette in the end.
📺 Divorced three times. More precisely, he died in the process of the third divorce.
📺 Coffee, whiskey, sleeping pills, cigarettes. Strangely enough, but he almost quit smoking after his death. He had enough, sort of.
📺 Extremely nervous work during his lifetime, wild competition and underhand intrigues. That's why he's paranoid.
📺 A workaholic. A careerist. He is extremely vain and scrupulous about his status. A painful ego.
📺 Vox loved dancing, but where would he find time for it?
📺 He is categorically not a womanizer, despite his profession in the media. Practically monogamous by default. That's partly why there are three marriages, not just affairs.
📺 There is a nervous tic in my humanization. Under that scarred and red eye.
📺 A dead and extinct red eye, a tenacious and cold blue one.
📺 Deeply depressed.
📺 Coffee in liters. He likes whiskey from alcohol.
📺 If desired, he will intimidate his employees almost as well as Val.
📺 Without a wristwatch, he feels undressed, and it doesn't matter that there is a watch in the phone)
📺 Alastor is the canonical theme of "code red". That awkward case when you weren't even in a romantic relationship, but you still act like exes. facepalm And it's fucking noticeable. To everyone.😅
I like to draw him so much… The best boy. Asshole.

All the remaining participants of the Long Walk after five days of travel: *full beards*
Stebbins: *Cute chicken fluff*
All the remaining participants of the Long Walk: *for the most part - support each other, are hard-pressed by someone else's death, shocked by the scenes of cruelty*
Stebbins: Lol. It seems that someone has not fully grasped one of the main rules of the game.
All the other participants of the Long Walk: Rub bloody calluses, die from burst blisters, take off their shoes and go barefoot when the heel flies off.
Stebbins: THE ONLY fucking person WHO THOUGHT of taking a change of shoes with him. The only one. Out of a hundred people. Each of whom, probably, saw the previous dozens of Walks at least on TV. Where people walk in bloody socks.
Stebbins, what do you think about the level of training of your competitors?
*silently spreads his hands, touches his forehead, then his mouth, then his heart, raises his bright eyes to heaven* Well… it's needed.
