"Hmmm…. my non-sexual senses are tingling. It seems like Valentino will have a significant role in this episode. Well, it is quite clear what I should do. I will ensure I make no appearances in this episode whatsoever...
compiled angel and val "dancing" in poison vs huskerdust dancing in loser baby vs staticmoth dancing in finale cause I thought they would make for interesting comparisons
one shows a clear power imbalance between victim and abuser, other two show more equal/balanced power dynamics
(also although I didn't include any explicit scenes from poison, it IS still a part of the poison sequence so do let me know if there's anything I should have tagged)
"alastor isn't canonically aroace" errrrm actually he told me he was himself sorry
also yes I edited this myself so some details below if anyone's curious (did this to challenge myself a bit but it didn't take too much effort)
edited in premiere pro, this is how the frankensteined audio and visual look together, even reordered, slowed down and stitched the different mouth movements together to fit the words
specific dialogue taken are:
Alastor: I'm afraid you've lost your signal.
Alastor: Of course! Can't let my new project fall into disrepair already. What would the papers say?!
Alastor: When I'm done, your status quo will know its race is run!
all from episode 2, basically what was compiled was "I'm air al ace" but air al sounded enough like aro to me so I just rolled with it LMAOOO
this is the ONLY thing I will ever post about vox x adam because going back to this scene after that possibility was revealed to me made me lose my shit. I fucking hate it.
(real talk though they'd have like a one night stand then adam would call vox the f slur and vox would drop him immediately)
