Something I noticed about Poison
*These two*
This is a free transactional/thankful hand shake between two lovers who are abusers; Val is Overt & Vox is Covert.
(Please read what's above if you do not know what Overt/Covert means.)
Note: These terms will be brought up again.
-Vox's face is smug, a sense of accomplishment residing in said smugness.
- Additionally, he is gazing away from his lover to look towards Angels Bedroom.
-The, oh shit your up & walking face. (A massive tell tale sign someone feels caught; aka the victim or a bystander has seen the abuser in/after the act.)
^^^The drop of his heads posture/Widening of his eyes, mainly his hypnosis eye/His frown.^^^ (He uses his hypnosis eye for control)
-Lil side note: The demon doing repair work, looks very uncomfortable, I think it's the only expression he makes. (This does not remove the fact that he has been drawn with a face of discomfort; engaging with apathy/sloth with a hint of sadness.)
-Vox is giving Val a gaze that speaks "are you going to keep things under control?" aka, Angel, the prized porn star. OR. You got this right? (simplified take)
-Vals lip expression shows lack of enthusiasm plus lack of joy.
^^^Val uses this expression to show disapproval while asserting dominance. (A common tactic with abusers; both Overt & Covert abusers do this often as a means of utilizing fear. Because the victim knows they are upset & know what can happen when said abuser is upset.) + (Lowkey difference: Covert abusers are more carful about who is around to see/read that mentally abusive power move/Overt abusers usually thrive with an audience around.)
-This is the face of an abuser who has gotten away with it, through the aid of a lover. (It is not uncommon for SA abusers to share their victims/help other abusers SA individuals.) He knows that he got away with it, of course he did, they are top dog overlords who control minds & bodies through media influence.
^^^Vox gets away with keeping Angels truth a tucked away secret- (Him being raped via means of being drugged up in his own bedroom)-through Val; whom uses overt means of control, while Vox prefers his less tasteful habits be less known. Val makes sure what happened, stays unknown by others.
^^^Something something, birds of a feather or some crap^^^
(Match made in hell dead ass.)
*Reminder that this is Angels bedroom*
-He's super disorientated, & has no idea what time it is & is most likely slowly processing what the actual fuck has happened.
^^^Recovering from being high out of his mind on cocaine & Vals Saliva/or the love potion made by Val & Velvet.^^^
-Background noise such as running water can allow some people to focus/calm down from a panic attack or both.
-He looks so hurt yet tired. (He's just sick of being so personally used as an object by genuine rapists.)
-It all comes back to him & hits him like a train.
Edit note: I sent this post by mistake when it wasn't finished so I had to rush these last bits. (I can expand more on this in the future maybe)
Last note: I wish we got a scene of Vox asking sex from Angel but that request is declined/ or invading Angels space. (Its very impactful but needs genuine breathing room outside of the music video.)
