Let's go one-sided Radiostatic / Radiosilence rant
Ended up writing a fic abt this 🙏
Okay, as much as I love the whole 'Vox screwed up the entire friendship with Alastor by confessing and Al just left without a second thought and haha funny Vox is a sad wet cat of a simp' stuff I really think there's a lot of potential being missed out on there.
Like I don't think Alastor would have just coldly left and detached completely - at least not at first.
I wanna see Alastor realising that he had gotten SO close to Vox that Vox had fallen in love with him and him being mortified that he'd allowed himself to get that close to someone + allowed someone else to get that close to him.
I want Alastor struggling and horrified because when radiosilence echoed, he was also caught in it, feeling the loss of a good friend even if he was repulsed by Vox's feelings for him.
So much of it is just how Vox reacted, and as much as I love that, I ALSO wanna see how ALASTOR reacted for once. And not the 'haha, whatever' surface level thing (although I do definitely think that is how he certainly would play it off), him dealing with the loss behind that facquade.
I genuinely refuse to believe that there was nothing there that ached for bro, Alastor may be a psychopathic trait coded nutjob, but they still can form attachment and shit like that despite it (even if it's different to typical attachment).
Also, people refuse to focus on Alastor's obsession with Vox back. Like, I'm sure his ass would be gutted if Vox lost his obsession with him or acted completely cool and uncaring.
He's just as obsessed with Vox as he is with him, and I refuse to believe otherwise 💀

contemplating the conversation Neil and Andrew (and Renee) have in the locker room at the beginning of The King's Men.
"I've never understood why he likes knives"
Such simple words should not have gotten the reaction they did. Andrew went still and looked up, but he didn't look at Neil. He looked at Renee, so Neil did too. She'd stopped mid-sentence to stare at Neil, but the Renee studying him wasn't the Foxes redeemed optimist. Her sweet smile was gone and the too-blank look on her face reminded Neil of Andrew. Neil instinctively tensed for flight-or-flight. Before his body figured out what to do, Renee shifted her inscrutable gaze to Andrew.
They stared each other down, soundless and still, oblivious to the bewildered looks their teammates sent between them. (pg. 34)
And comparing it to Son Nefes (Extra Content)
"You could have chosen a weapon you were more comfortable with," Renee said.
"It made sense at the time to pick it up," Andrew said with an expansive shrug. "He liked knives, and I like beating people at their own game."
and
"Do you know why I learned to fight with knives?" Renee asked. [..........]"He was older than me, and bigger than me, and stronger than me, so I had to find a way to fight him. He liked knives," she said, and Andrew flicked her a quick look she couldn't decipher, "so I decided to use them against him. I wanted to beat him at his own game, too."
ANYWAYS. I just thought I'd put all that in one single place because :))))
Especially since in TRK, when Neil and Renee talk, she says "But if you are as like us as we first predicted you to be, perhaps one day you can also come to see me as a friend."
Also the general fact that, there is a certain sense of... interest to me, I guess in the fact that Neil was purposely vague in hopes that everyone in the room would think he was speaking of Riko, when really he was talking about his father, who's his own monster from his past, and comparably made the two of them think of their own. Renee confirms this later to him(when she offers to teach him to wield knives), and Neil actually wonders about Andrew in that conversation as well.
