Contains...Not Abusive StaticMoth?!

So anyone who has seen any of my content involving StaticMoth knows that I don't particularly like Valentino and don't portray the relationship as at all healthy. Heck, I frequently provide a trigger warning for my abusive StaticMoth content because I know many people enjoy the ship in a positive way and I don't want to ruin their fun by surprising them with it being portrayed as shitty and toxic. However, I am a complicated creature, as most beings are, and while I don't frequently talk about it, I am also 100% down for piece-of-rotting-shit Valentino who views Vox and Velvette as exceptions to the rule. I still see Vox and Val being at most fuck-buddies and not in love or anything, but yeah.

TW for very brief mentions of non-consent and references A/B/O dynamics.

This came up in me because I was reading some ABO Hazbin fics (I'm not a huge ABO conossauer personally but they sounded interesting and were RadioStatic centric so you know I gotta) that had Vox being outed as an Omega who has been on suppressants for way too fucking long and having to basically defend himself from being forcibly claimed by an Alpha Valentino while going through so super intense heat for the first time in literal decades (fics can be found on this glorious list if you're interested). Now, like I said before, I am totally down for this portrayal. Valentino can absolutely be an abusive bastard any day with me.

However it also got me thinking...

Valentino who is worried for his distressed friend.

Valentino who leaves the room when he realizes there's a very high chance he'll jump Vox without his consent.

Valentino who is awkward about offering to help with Vox's heat because he wants to help in some way but also doesn't want to take advantage of his friend.

Valentino who gets protective as fuck and literally starts snarling at and very nearly starting fights with any Alpha who comes anywhere near Vox's room.

Valentino who is torn between wanting to stay far away from Vox so he doesn't accidentally hurt him and desperately needing to stay close to keep him safe.

Valentino who pulls an Asmodeus and asks a million "are you sure?"s when Vox finally calls and asks him to come help.

Valentino who literally has Velvette confirm Vox is coherent enough to consent to this.

Valentino who has awkward and clumsy sex for the first time in his afterlife because he's afraid of getting too into it and claiming Vox in the heat of the moment.

Vox post-heat deciding to let Valentino claim him so no one else can because he trusts him and knows he won't use it to hurt him.

Just saying.
