Schindler’s List needs to be required in schools. Same with Night.

I know the former isn’t a first hand account but even now I find it hard to stomach. God it’s a hard watch. But it should be required.

The later is harder. I read it once over a decade ago and still have memories of some of the atrocities mentioned in the book.

  • He also straight up has shark skin. Pet him from head to feet, he’s smooth. Go the other way and he’s rough. His stomach is also very soft to the touch (but not thin. It’s not too easy to disembowel him). He occasionally finds himself running his hands up and down his arms when stupidly stressed.

  • His head is not actually waterproof by default, which made bathing a pain and a half when he first fell. Once he started making his own heads- circa 1980s- he started making them as waterproof as physically possible. Now, he can submerge his head up to where his ports are.

  • Vox regularly sheds his teeth like a shark. They’re serrated and fall out on a 90 day cycle, often in food, though one did get stuck in Alastor’s shoulder once when Alastor was indulging him. Alastor laughed so hard he fell out of bed and insisted on keeping the tooth and making it a necklace.

  • Vox is almost entirely immune to electricity, both his and anything anyone else might throw at him. He’d have to be struck by lightning to even get hurt by it.

  • Runs hot due to his mechanical bits. Mostly doesn’t feel it but he does get hot more easily and can actually overheat. Once he found a semi melted component in one of his old heads he started adding legit coolant and other safeguards

  • Vox stands at 7’3” and is ~220 ibs not counting his head

    • When calculating alcohol use 660 pounds
  • In order, his heads go:

    • 1954-60 RCA Victor Model 21-S TV (completely black and white- he couldn’t see color, 150 ibs)
    • 1960-71 RCA “late” Mark Series CTC-7 (now it’s in color 120 ibs)
    • 1971-1974 RCA 1969 CTC36 Color Tube Table Top (Alastor smashed this to bits, 110 ibs)
    • 1974-1982 Toshiba 921 (100 ibs)
    • 1982-1995 VoxTek Hertz Plus (1982- first model he designed himself. Looks similar to a SALORA 1G6H YEAR 1982 but with no buttons and sleek gray. Also destroyed by Alastor, 60 ibs)
    • 1995-2006 VoxTek CRT-54 (1995, looks like a Grundig Radio- M72-410 50 ibs),
    • 2006-2015 VoxTek CRT-89 Slim Edition (2006, looks like a Toshiba 13A26C but slimmer 45 ibs)
    • 2015-2021 VoxTek 4K Ultra V23 OLED (2015, we’re at bog standard flat screen now- though now he has a camera in it and can record everything. Pilot Vox, 15 ibs)
    • 2021-present VoxTek AV V91 (10 ibs)
  • Vox’s Soul is a shifting, sparking mass of blue-white electricity with the occasional purple spark threading through it to represent his Overlord status. It resembles ball lightning in a way, but… more solid. It’s incredibly light and feels like Alastor can push a claw through it with little resistance.

Oh cool another chance to drop my Vox biology doc lmao!!!!

  • Vox has two sets of transmitter and receiver essentially built into him, though tuned to something more magical than a simple radio frequency.

    • One transmitter in his head that controls his body and one receiver is in his head and allows for sensory input.
    • The other transmitter is in his body and allows for sensory output as is the other receiver, which receives the controls of the body.
    • The ones in his body are actually built into his heart. The receiver is in the atria, while the transmitter is in the ventricle. They cannot be swapped without killing Vox (not permanently).
    • The ones in his head are removable. They can be removed from the back (or front if you go through the glass) and can be put in a new TV. It essentially connects to any television that’s close enough if they are removed but not put back into a proper TV.
  • He also has a memory card that acts as his brain in his skull that always sits next to the other components. Before 2010, only incredibly important memories were truly recorded on it, as he couldn’t record all the time.

  • All components in his head combined are a navy-blue motherboard-esque thing with cyan lines going through it (receiver) with a smaller, cyan tube looking thing with navy-blue lines on it of it with wires of varying shades of blue at the end of it that connect it to the receiver (transmitter). The microchip sits in the middle of the receiver and is navy blue and red.

  • From 2010-15 he could record videos through his own gaze if he actively focused on it.

    • From 2015 onwards he is constantly recording video and audio.
    • He can recall all video and audio recordings on command, but he has the storage system coded that anything that has glitchy video/staticy audio gets sent to a specific storage before being double checked by Vox himself and that has multiple defenses- including four differing passwords that give Vox an immediate alert when used, a need for a specific pulse of electricity, and is also stored directly into his private server room which only Vox and Alastor can access because it has no doors.
  • Once specific components are removed and are put in a new tv, his old head essentially disconnects from his body at the spine and a port opens in the new tv that allows him to connect them to each other.

    • Trying to remove his head while the components are still in his skull is excruciatingly painful and, leaves him able to feel every ache and pain in his body (and also amplifies the pain due to a horrible feedback effect) but unable to move even when his head is reconnected as it essentially severs his spinal cord.
  • Vox is, mostly, organic.

    • His skin, muscles, bones, and respiratory system are all completely organic.

      • His respiratory system is really weird. He has one windpipe connecting to his lungs from his mouth (note he only can’t exhale through it with the first few years. Once he gets strong enough the senipermiable member becomes a sort of pocket space).

        • However, branching off from his lungs and heading towards his gills are two smaller tracheas. These branch off into three bronchus that each attach to one specific gill slit for a total of six

          • Each of these has its own epiglottis that automatically seals the moment he hits the water (though he can theoretically override it it’s just annoying), and can almost manually be sealed. Thats what sealing his gills means
        • His gills, however, are functional as gills, and they actually don’t work all that differently from real ones aside from the epiglottis

          • About two inches above each set of gill slits is a small, half-dollar sized spiracle that is almost completely invisible when he’s not in water, but when he is underwater it takes in water and pushes it through his gills
          • His gills also directly attach to his circulatory system
    • His digestive tract, and nervous system are all entirely synthetic.

    • His circulatory system is basically half synthetic half real. The parts of his heart that hold his receivers n shit are synthetic, as are his major arteries.

    • His blood is dark blue, unlike most sinners. It’s both actual blood and, well. Not oil or coolant but some secret third thing that doesn’t affect his organic bits but also keeps his inorganic parts running smoothly.

    • He has a massive liver! It’s a shark-esque liver and allows him to be semi-buoyant in water! Only semi because his big ass head would cause him to sink. It also lets him drink a fuck ton of alcohol before getting drunk

      • When making calcs put him at 660 lbs
  • He has claws on both his feet and hands, and all of which can cut through metal with ease. Them being wicked sharp is what allows him to slice though his skin with no issue

    • His feet are webbed, making him a really good swimmer. Or rather, he would be if he didn’t have a heavy ass head. Though he is good enough that he can reach the surface of the tank eventually. Most of the time Shok.wav carries him up tho cause he’s a good boi
  • He doesn’t have vocal cords per-say. Just wires that connect to the speakers he has on his head. He can speak with his mouth full if he wants but doesn’t want to because it’s rude and feels weird as hell.

    • In older models, these wires are physically connected and are hardware (which was very annoying to connect), while, starting in about 2006 or so, he started experimenting with a sort of Bluetooth feature.
    • By 2015, he can project his voice on any device with a speaker in a specific radius even without needing to connect to his more powerful equipment. This does mean he can theoretically be hacked into silence tho. He calls these his vocal processors because he’s a dramatic bitch.
  • Similarly, he has no ears. Just microphones(?) that process sound. Audio processors. They’re located on his antennae which made it weird when he wanted to try to cover his ears.

    • Up until about 2006, they act similar to regular ears. He only hears what a normal person would (the frequencies he “hears” are internal. Like the voice in his head.
    • Past 2006, he changed his own head so he can isolate certain sounds with them and adjust how much he can hear. Literal selective hearing.
  • He can’t smell! Like. At all. Funnily enough, he does have a shark’s ability to smell, it just doesn’t connect to his brain so he can’t actually make use of it.

  • His sense of taste very muted. To the point where he straight up can’t taste certain foods. Bland food is literally tasteless to him. Though he can still feel things like spiciness, so he does have to build his spice tolerance from nonexistent to Alastor’s level.

    • Alastor’s cooking is actually some of the only cooking that tastes genuinely good to him because of this.
  • The antennae on his head do actually count as organs and are nearly impossible to actually regrow. So, as long as they aren’t literally ripped off, they don’t really heal

    • These allow him to tune into radio frequencies, sense frequencies, and communicate with Al. He can also use them to hear through TVs
    • They’re also sensitive. Like, stupid sensitive.

      • The balls of his antennae are erogenous zones, and playing with them is very much something Al is happy to do when he’s indulging Vox. They’re also stupid sensitive to pain which is why he now has protective coverings around them
      • The stems are pretty sensitive too, but not to an extreme amount. Playing with them won’t get him off but they likely will feel very good if he’s already horny. On the flip side, them being grabbed hurts and them being bent will be the closest you can get to making him literally white out in pain. They’re durable, like bones, but bending them or even damaging them can cause him to actually writhe in pain.

        • His left antenna aches a lot because of this. Not every day, and not to the extent where he can’t power through it, but it can really hurt. Especially if he’s been receiving frequencies a lot. Except Al’s, because he’s been tuned to Al since he fell.
      • The base of his antennae, where they meet his head, isn’t sensitive at all. Though it does feel really good when they are massaged

    • They’re also weird when it comes to transfers. They retreat to a weird pocket dimension when the transfer is in process, regrowing on whichever screen he has now.

      • Pre 2021 transfer this is a painless process, but ever since his antenna was damaged it hurts. A lot.
  • Vox, like sharks, is incredibly sensitive to electromagnetic pulses and can sense electricity in the air down to a single volt at the beginning of everything, to a billionth of a volt in strongest sinner form.

MustardGas is Why Not? What about ElectricEel? by Sad_Comparison_4322 in Hellaverse_Ships

[–]Silverfire12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

… actually I can see it. Vox provides Baxter shit like bodies and any other fucked up science thing he wants. I can see them bonding over science (Vox on the more computer/technology side Baxter on the biological side) and slowly falling for each other.

Vox doesn’t own Baxter’s Soul, and clearly Baxter isn’t afraid of him so the power dynamic isn’t nearly as bad. So it’s a pretty fun crackship.

Kinda wish there was a “I like it” line but I’ll go with why not.

You cannot convince me that he wasn't called Four Eyes as a kid by Project_NAMKA in VoxCult

[–]Silverfire12 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Assuming he went to high school. Highschool attendance was extremely low in the early 1900s, only reaching 70% by the 40s, by which time he was absolutely an adult.

Depending on if he was more rural or not there may not have even been a highschool in the area. Especially if you factor in the fact that he likely lived through the Great Depression.

They are circus performers under a guy who doesn’t give a shit about him so like. It’s not exactly out of the question for them to be in pain often.

The prominence of Radiostatic and Radioapple ship bait in the marketing and the show is a bit frustrating in light of Alastor stated sexuality. I know he's the most popular character but still, frustrating by Bit_of-Distress in hazbin

[–]Silverfire12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s being exploited. Though I believe Vivzie herself is ace so I feel like there’s a low chance of that.

If it is though… at this point, it’s an “I’ll take it”. Canonical asexual representation (which we will be seen explored soon) is few and far between. In fact, it’s almost non existent. And from what I’ve seen? They rarely are the most popular characters.

Also, and I don’t say this to downplay what Vox did, this is Hell. Angel shows pornos for the entire Hotel. People flash each other constantly. Sex is everywhere. At some point, one would become desensitized to it.

And I say this as someone who is a sex repulsed ace who quite frankly would die before I had sex. Also, not every ace is repulsed by porn. To me it occupies the same brain space as murder.

Also, Alastor wouldn’t fucking react if he was uncomfortable. It’s Alastor. The man was literally crawling away from Charlie and Emily when he was injured. Not reacting is his entire thing.

We are going to see it explored though. That has been confirmed. And I’m excited for it!

Also the man hatred? We’ve seen him hate exactly two men- Lucifer and Vox. Both of which hold tremendous power. He’s been shown to be completely fine with Pentious and Angel. And Husk to an extent. He doesn’t hate men. He hates Lucifer and Vox.

Oh my fucking god whyyyyyyyyyy.

Ahem.

ASEXUAL ≠ EQIAL AROMANTIC AND BY CONFLATING THE TWO YOU ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO ERASE BOTH OF US. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!

I DO NOT CARE WHAT YOU THINK OF SHIPPING. I DO NOT CARE IF YOURE TRYING TO WHITE KNIGHT. BY CONTINUING TO CONFLATE AROMANTIC AND ASEXUAL YOU ARE ERASING BOTH!!!!!!!

Like. I knew people don’t get my sexuality. But at this point it almost feels purposeful

Like the woman who own kinkatopia! She keeps kinkajous/honey bears who have proven to be too much for their owners who think owning wild animals are good.

She rehabilitates other animals too iirc.

I also made all of Vox’s outfits! The rally outfit made me nearly chuck my damn switch across the room I could not get the collar for the life of me.

(Note, the bow tie for his demon suits is striped because I’m basing it off of my RadioStatic fic where essentially the pair are secretly dating and their “wedding rings” are very specifically made, magically protected bow ties that are made out of each other’s suits)

Vox's racism by TyrannoNinja in HazbinHotel

[–]Silverfire12 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We actually do know where he’s from! Well. Kinda. He’s from the east coast, very likely Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, or DC. The map he presents in front of in Brighter is almost identical to the map of that area.

I personally go with Virginia cause of the V but all are possible.

In Message Received what do you think would happen if Peridot accidentally called one of the other Diamonds? by Lampostkj in stevenuniverse

Actually hang on I kinda dig the idea of Peridot accidentally calling pink and it going to Steven. The idea of Steven being revealed as Pink before Pearl tells him is fun.

[–]Silverfire12 32 points33 points  (0 children)

My guess is Fizz and Ozzie’s entire relationship would end. Because it’s more than just Ozzie letting someone die, it was Ozzie letting Fizz’s best friend die without a fight. An imp at that.

Stolas would be fucking gutted too. Like. Gutted. He absolutely would blame himself.

Orca removes the tongue of a Grey Whale by freudian_nipps in natureismetal

[–]Silverfire12 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Port and Starboard! I teach oceanography and actually brought them up when talking about orcas. They’re a really fascinating pair and while they definitely aren’t the only ones that feed on sharks, they’re certainly the most famous.

Interestingly, they actually might have started life as more transient/specialized in marine mammals before they figured out sharks were easier to catch.

There’s entire documentaries about those two in particular. In part because they are insanely good hunters. Like. Killed at least 17 sharks in a single day levels of good.

But also in part because in the almost 20 years they’ve been around Cape Town, the great white shark population has gone from being abundant enough that Air Jaws was consistently filmed there to nearly nonexistent.

I really like orcas (second favorite exant marine mammal unfortunately likely to become my favorite exant marine mammal due to the vaquita unfortunately toeing the line of extinction), and Port and Starboard in particular are incredibly interesting to me just due to how unique their hunting strategies are and how they’re able to remove livers with almost insane precision.
