Basically, I like to over analyze. The main fandom I talk about now is Helluva Boss. Although I do touch on the Mandalorian, Supernatural, and other cartoons from time to time. Anywho, feel free to follow me, just don’t talk about rape, incest, or pedophilia.
Something I really loved about this short is how at first, when Millie brought up how SM smelled, she immediately got defensive only to actually smell herself and be like “damn. She’s right.”
Shows that SM can admit she’s wrong, and it’s not even made a big deal of afterwards. Show’s a bit of SM’s resentment on the fact that Millie doesn’t visit but the fact that they figure it out by COMMUNICATION and ADMITTING WHEN THEY’RE WRONG (a rarity in the HellaVerse) is AMAZING.
Istg people who act like Vox and Vel are BETTER than Val piss me off so much. I’m sorry but ur pookies are evil. I love them BECAUSE they’re evil. They may not be r@pists but they actively enable one and actually advertise and fund him.
Also Vel makes roofies that allow HUNDREDS of people to get SA’d.
And Vox’s literal introduction was a camera specifically made to peep on people. Plus he sleeps with Val despite KNOWING he’s a r@pist so that should say a lot about his character.
In conclusion, Vox and Vel care as much about consent as Val does and they are all equally awful.
I don't really understand how people can call vox and angel's situations with val even REMOTELY similar. it's so clear how different they are when angel dust has to say "fuck off, val" once and get punted to the ground and threatened with more abuse the next day. vox can: pinch val's cheek, roughly pull him down and shout at him to his FACE, say "um FUCK you?" ALL without any consequence or retaliation from val. and people still think their situations are anywhere near the same?
I think that the Venn Diagram of people you are describing and people who don't want to feel bad about liking Vox is a circle. Acknowledging that Vox truly loves, or even likes Valentino means that Vox is (surprise) a bad person, what threatens the feeling of moral superiority gained from liking only "unproblematic" characters. Of course there are for sure some angst enjoyers who just like the idea of Vox entangled in the abusive relationship - I see no problem with that as long as nobody tries to convicte me that's canon.
this is my first animation so if you guys have any tips or so please feel free to tell me (I know I can just google animation tutorials but I feel like there things that they don't tell you)
I feel like I need to point out that not dating≠ not canon. Some VoxVal fans are devastated by the news that they’re not officially dating (which I thought we all KNEW as she’s been saying that for years) but Viv literally confirmed that they’re still canon.
In fact I even count this as a win because now we know for SURE that they have a connection outside sexual. Also she liked this so there.
