The desire to write this into existence is STRONG oml

okay but GENUINELY wanting to write something for Valentino and his "lover" WHILE including Vox 😭😭😭 like... Vox stalking you? Vox watching you through your webcam + the cameras he and Val have installed in your room? Vox relaying to Valentino what kind of porn you're getting off to, just to give Valentino more ideas?

Valentino somehow implanting a tracking device in you / in your phone / in the collar he knows you only take off for showering? Valentino interrogating you when you come home late in the evenings, and work isn't the (only) reason? Valentino using your weaknesses against you in a sexual setting?

Vox and Valentino ganging up on you, both of them recording the session for blackmail material in case you ever decide to misbehave?

I just REALLY want to write something where Valentino and Vox team up to stalk you and make sure you know your place😭😭😭

[shampoo-bubbles]

I can't believe StaticMoth is what kicked me out of my multi-year brainrot. Here is some absolute smut for my fellow heathens!

Please pay attention to the tags and warnings!

Viv saying that voxval isn't canon cuz they're not officially dating is objectively funnier if you believe the wedding ring theory. Yes, they have been married for 20 years. No, they aren't in a relationship why do you ask

[shampoo-bubbles]

Vox watching the final fight like it was a sports game was so funny, so I did something. It reminded me of a video that went viral over here (Argentina) like 10 years ago, of a fan watching a soccer match; the audio is from that video. Here's the whole thing

I genuinely wanna know more about Vox's relationship to Angel. Him and Angel probably have the biggest ties to Valentino (Yes there's Velvette and I don't want to dismiss her but she's not with Val like how these two are) These are super small moments but I think it says quite a bit. Vox has probably seen Val treat Angel in both extremes: Domineering and just fucked up all around but also just completely fawning over him too (well more accurately love bombing) Regardless of how he treats Angel though, clearly Val's attention and focus is always gonna be on him. It'd make sense that he'd be irritated and jealous of Angel getting that attention, especially seeing those moments of lovebombing, like with Valentino giving Angel Fat Nuggets

He's probably used to Val practically ignoring him in favor of Angel. He's heard Val rant and rave about Angel so much he just checks his phone out of pure boredom hearing it again. Then he practically perks up and only focuses on the conversation when it sounds like Angel quit. Now in the song Poison, it's such an easy to miss moment but Vox practically goes on a face journey here:

It starts off with him and Val having a nice time, talking about...something. Then he notices Angel in the corner of his eye, his mood just seems to drop a little bit. He practically sighs in frustration. I can just see him sarcastically thinking "Oh great it's him." Valentino notices Angel too and Vox here almost looks resigned and irritated. He just knows whatever this moment they were having together is now over 'cause Val literally has his eyes set on Angel. This look he gives Valentino right before he leaves just kinda reads as "Seriously?!"

Like does he not like Angel or is he more frustrated at Val in this situation?

It's a dark day for StaticMoth shippers

Although I still love the idea that Valentino is attracted to Vox's screen all the time. I refuse to give it up

Hoo boy. Now I've made it known multiple times on my blog that I LOATHE the whoobiefication of Vox, but lets get into why/how Vox is NOT a good person nor a baby that needs protecting and why he's all the better for it. Buckle up ladies and gentlemen, this will be long.

Now, why isn't Vox a good person? Easy. Because he (along with the other Vees) is supposed to be the bad guy of the story. Shocking, I know. Vox was NEVER intended to be a good person, and some of y'all just need to accept that.

Now for the long part: HOW is he not a good person?

Well, first of all, his literal introduction is an ad selling drones HE DESIGNED specifically for stalking,"peeping on the neighbors has never been more stylish"

Right off the bat, this tells us he doesn't care about people unless he can profit off them.

Which is also backed up by the point that he ADVERTISES Val and Vels "love potions" which are basically just roofies.

Again. This man ONLY cares about profit first and foremost, screw the people who can get hurt/SA'd by his products.

Next, he has a power of hypnosis which he is NOT hesitant to use. He can take away someones free will at a glance and uses that to his full advantage.

He's also very willing to give Val his lowest earners to shoot. Notice that he does so with no hesitance and no regret.

Also, (and most significantly) he's a huge, HUGE enabler. This guy has cameras EVERYWHERE, ESPECIALLY when Valentino is involved. He's got cameras in Val's room, Angels old room, at Vals corner of the club (which moves when Val does), there's NO WAY he DOESN'T know that Val is a r@pist.

And DESPITE that, he still sleeps with the man, is very likely in love with him, and oh yeah, FUNDS HIS WHOLE DEAL. The cameras Val uses are Voxtech cameras.

Val may be the one who does the dirty work but Vox willingly and knowingly makes a profit off of that. He doesn’t just know and do nothing, he actively HELPS Val out and obviously has no second thoughts nor regrets about it.

This is not a look of disgust or discontent, this is fondness. Genuine fondness. For Valentino. As a PERSON. Let that sink in.

There’s also the implications that Vox is jealous of the attention Angel gets from Val. Angel gets abused constantly by Val, Vox KNOWS, and still hates Angel because of the sheer fact that he takes up so much of Vals attention.

Not to mention the HEAVY implications that he gets off on watching people suffer.

“Well Vox can still do better than Val!!”

While I’m at it, I guess I should bring up the fact that BOTH Vox and Val are MASSIVE red flags.

With Val, aside from the obvious, he’s also a huge attention whore for Vox and isn’t afraid to break Vox’s property if Vox doesn’t pay attention to him. Yeah Vox gets frustrated with him, who wouldn’t be when their lover is throwing temper tantrums every other day?

With Vox, again, aside from the obvious, isn’t afraid to handle Val roughly when he’s mad, and literally screams about how watching his arch nemesis/obsession get the crap beat out of him is better than sex. Right in front of Val by the way. In regular circumstances, 9.98/10 that’s gonna get your ass dumped in a second.

Not to mention the mutual condescension ation towards each other.

And as much as fans (including myself admittedly) like to shit on Val for being a man child, Vox is literally no better.

Plus the explosive tempers.

Seriously. Vox LITERALLY cannot do better than Val. Vox is the only one who can put up with Vals BS and vice versa.

OH YEAH and lets not forget one last thing: VOX ALSO ABUSES HIS OWN EMPLOYEES.

This dude is scared of him, and it’s NOT because he’s worried about getting fired.

So yes. Vox is not nor HAS EVER been a good person.

And for me personally, I love that. I love that he’s entertaining yet awful. I love his dynamic with Alastor, and I love his relationship with Val even more.

If you’re wondering why I personally love Staticmoth, it’s because basic couple rules do not apply to them. They’re both toxic narcissistic red flags and therefore they can be as awful as they want to each other, and the other will simply shake it off. Yet there’s still heavy trust between the two (never being scared of each other) and they still have little moments together where they’re genuinely happy. It’s unique, and something I’ve never seen in media before.

Basically, if you liked Vox better when you thought he was a poor little baby being abused by Val, read a fan fiction. There’s a lot of them out there.

But people really just need to accept the fact that he’s an awful person. Always has been. He’s not better than Val by ANY means. He and Val are both evil pricks who deserve each other.

And guess what? LIKING AN EVIL CHARACTER DOES NOT MEAN YOU SUPPORT THEIR CHOICES. IT’S OKAY TO LIKE VOX EVEN IF HE IS EVIL.

But don’t go on saying that Vox was “ruined” as a character when all signs have always pointed to him being terrible.
