i don't mind when people unsub ofc, do whatever makes you comfortable! i do, however, have a problem with this perspective--i'm assuming you're talking about vox being more "likable" than the other two. but there're reasons for that.

vox has always been a piece of shit and i never pretended otherwise! this is an au where he's trying to get better ONLY for alastor's sake. he's literally still an abusive rape enabler when it comes to every other character (especially angel)....EXCEPT alastor. and they're both pieces of shit so it's easier for them to find enjoyment in each other sdlnf

the crux of freak fest is that vox has learned to care about consent when it comes to the person he loves. it's an au, meaning i'm taking a loooottt of liberties with what he's actually capable of. he's an inherently evil fuckhead of a character, but i want to explore what he's like when he's pointedly trying Not to be. the show has given us glimpses of humanity with all the vees; some i'm cool with, others i'm not (actually, most i'm not--val especially they need to tone down because i am never gonna see him as anything but a plot device no matter how many fuckin romantic ballads they give him) but it's there all the same. i'm just doing the same with vox. and this is vox as seen by freak fest!alastor; delusional, twisted alastor, so of COURSE he's gonna be biased. had this whole thing been in angel's perspective, he'd look no different from the other vees.

even then, i've straight up had alastor say that vox is never getting into heaven. there's no redemption for him; just a little enlightenment.

he's not like this on my dark twitter. he's straight up monstrous, as he is in a lot of my art that i can't show here. trust me, i know what he is.

on the other hand, if this is saying that i should be making the other two vees more likable, you've got the rest of the fandom woobifying them more than enough.

I'm not even sure what to add here... we're really gonna be upset about continuing to choose your favorite war criminal(s)??? Vox is absolutely a certified piece of shit, but everything about his character fascinates me. From his design to his fucked up brain, I just wanna dissect him like a fish... ...and make him kiss the radio deer because that's just hot af. I don't make the rules?

vox is SO fuckin interesting, and so much more tempting to explore different sides of than the other two!! i appreciate the nuance of the whole villain/morality conversation, but like...i dunno this time it rubbed me the wrong way slkdfn i'm not used to writing villains as main characters or even shipping them. my inexperience might be obvious, i admit it. but i also just want them to kiss.

i’m so sorry someone said that, totally unnecessary, they could’ve just quietly left. I really like what you’ve been coming out with, I check daily and reread often. Don’t let this shit get to you, you’re doing amazing.

Experienced or not, I'm here for the plot. Our wavelengths intersect a LOT. When they don't? *shrug* STILL interesting! But, yeah, I have no love for Val. He's also an interesting character, and since he's important to Vox, I accept that he's there. My thoughts might be (slightly) swayed with further canon character development, but until then he's the icky guy dating my friend.

waah thank you so much, you're such a sweetheart!! it's hopefully likely not an attempt to make me feel bad, so i won't take it personally and will just take it as criticism. it does address something i've been trying to be mindful about (vox's portrayal), but maybe this is a sign i should make my stance on it more clear? but, it makes me extremely giddy to know you reread and look forward to more!!! Q////W////Q i'd been hoping these had some rewatch value lol!

Absolutely baffled that someone had the temerity to send something like that to you. I thought we were all under the shared understanding that everyone character here is a bad person (well Alastor and the Vees anyway) and we're just having fun. While I appreciate your statement above and the thought you clearly put into this pairing and their characterization and dynamic, as a patron, I don't expect you to make a statement on morality. I expect you to make art I like looking at (which you do, frequently and without fail). And if for some reason that was no longer the case, I may consider discontinuing my membership... QUIETLY. I think that's why I'm so bothered by this. If they just weren't a fan of Hazbin or radiostatic, I'd empathize with that, because I know it can be disappointing when an artist moves on from something you like to something you don't like. It would still be weird for them to tell you this (imo, because artists can and should and even MUST make whatever the hell they want) but I would understand the feeling. This ask, however, reads to me as an attempt to shame you, and I really don't care for that. Forgive me if I'm overstepping saying all this, I'm feeling particularly frustrated with The State of Things today.

drawbauchery

you're not overstepping--it's good to hear your perspective, too. i'm a little emotional, this is very appreciated Q-Q

Bluesettes

I notice they didn't complain about you drawing canonically awful Alastor as sweet 😂 some people are just rude. I thought we were all just happily mashing our dolls together? I've been enjoying the dynamics you set up.

drawbauchery

thank you so much!! i'm very glad that you like it. they're sweet to each other (on occasion lol) and no one else, that's supposed to be the fun of it!

That comment confused the heck out of me because Vox has literally never been portrayed as a good person? My mind immediately went to that one comic where he stopped because Al asked, and he managed to start to learn what consent was after a century. Only to immediately forget about it when it didn't involve Al. Vox isn't a good person.
