Vox going "Ṽ̴̫̖̽A̶͔̋L̴͈̈" lives rent free in my head lol

Really love how Vox did exactly what he told Val not to do.

An important thing to note, the V's represent the 3 most common traits of toxic relationships. Valentino represents abuse, Vox represents manipulation, and Velvet represents narcissism.

I like how you made up for not having a TV for a face by just having Vox chilling out on your monitor. 😂 Creative!

One subtle little detail that actually lets on how overwhelmingly all-consuming Vox's envy of Alastor is, is his outfit. Someone else pointed this out online, but Vox's clothes are a near-total palette swap of Alastor's. That really tells me that Vox so desperately wants to be as known and feared as Alastor, that he's taken to (consciously or not) copying the very way he dresses.

Everyone in the Hazbin Hotel needs a therapist.

By the way, dont worry about videos on helluva boss making less views. The animators release one episode every 1-2 months, so the community is starving for content. Plus, most hazbin hotel fans are helluva boss fans too. Its a safe gambit imo

Maybe not as intense as with Alastor, but there’s also some jealousy towards Angel. You can see some glee when he asks to Val if Angel quit, and near the end of Poison when he’s talking to Val he glared up to Angel you can see some disdain.

1. I really can't wait for your take on Valentino. 2. When I hear Alastor vs. Vox= Bugs Bunny vs. Daffy Duck 3. You have my vote of Yes for Helluva Boss.

Another thing about Vox's jealousy: It doesn't just end with Alastor-- Angel is also someone he despises, albeit more subtly. He wasn't really invested in Valentino's drama but the moment he thought Angel had quit, he immediately brightens up KNOWING that isn't even possible (something he actually points out himself afterwards). And in Poison, while he was talking to Val and taking his hand (looking ready to kiss it), the moment he noticed Angel his smile drops and he looks annoyed, before looking back fondly at Val and disappearing. Knowing that him and Val are not only business partners with benefits, but genuinely emotionally attached to each other, it makes sense that he'd see Angel as competition the same way he does with Alastor. Vox is a fragile narcisist that always needs to be on top, to have total monopoly in every field he's in, so any person threatening that in any way is immediately despised in his eyes. Edit: Forgot to add, but the "That's like the poison you drink and hope someone else dies, but you're the one that drank it" line now lives in my head rent free, I love it. It's not only a fantastic phrase for Vox, but just in general. That's genius.

Cool coincidence that this came out the same day the official _Hazbin Hotel_ Instagram account gave us footage of Vox’s voice actor in the recording booth for Season 2. I say this because it turns out Vox’s VA - of _any_ of the possible voice actors - doesn’t actually have any social medias, with the true ultimate irony being that _Alastor’s_ VA *is* active on his socials and sometimes interacts with fans in-character as Alastor, a demon so opposed to modern technology he’s reluctant to even conjure up a home video camera 😂

I was not physically, mentally or emotionally prepared for Alastor to say "That's the tea"

I love the idea of Vox having a one-sided crush on Alastor, confessing, and Al just laughing in his face be his motivation for hating Alastor. It would explain why he's so obsessed with Alastor while Al is so carefree during their song, and I love the concept of all that love for someone turning into bitter hate with the same intensity.

Dr. Dow, when Vox was singing in the season finale, they show a torn photo of Alastor, and when you look at the torn edge, you see that Vox was happily standing by Alastor’s side. 😮

Aww, I actually would love an analysis on Blitzø and Stolas! Luna too! They're probably the most psychologically complex character in the whole show and I'd love to see your character analysis of them

Something cool my friend pointed out to me is that Alastor and Vox start with AV which also stands for Audio-Visual which makes sense considering Alastor is radio and Vox is TV.

"Radio is not dead, but it is ending THIS broadcast." -Alastor.

I also wanted to mention, even though it was a smaller reaction he was clearly excited at the idea Angel may have quit. Sounds like he's jealous of Angel I assume because of Valentino being clearly obsessed with Angel and getting all of Vals attention.

Love that not only you’re cosplaying as Vox, but your TV/Computer Monitor has Vox’s face. Even though this is going to be your final _Hazbin Hotel_ character analysis for now, I’m Looking forward to your character Analysis for the _Helluva Boss_ characters. Still once Season 2 eventually airs, hopefully you do one on Valentino, Velvette, Sera, and Carmilla Carmine.

I love that little hat and how you have Vox's face on the monitor. You really think of every little detail with these cosplays. I also love how Stayed Gone realy show's Vox's insecurities. First the fact he feels he needs to prove who's better in the first place, and then how desperately he denounces Alastor before he shows up and claps back even harder. It's a fantastic sequence.

The wobbly antennae are adorable

It's great to see Alastor top Vox not through strength but wit. It showcases really well what Alastor is GOOD at; his intellectual skill is what puts him 7 steps ahead of others. Not just his power.

I'm beginning to realize that, even though Viv obviously knows what she's doing, seeing it analyzed and organized especially from another person's perspective could be very profitable to her creative process if she ever watches the show

Vox is such an interesting character

The Vox monitor in the background was a nice touch and I love the wobbly antenna. Vox being a major antagonist next season is something I'm looking forward to, I love his rivalry with Alastor. He tried so hard to undermine Alastor but ended up just announcing his return in grand fashion. He's so desperate to be Alastor but better that he ends up making a fool of himself. I hope we get the whole backstory for the their fallout, since there's some implication that they were on good terms once.

Its also funny that if you think about it alastor would have probably never bothered with vox if he never tried to take shots at him. But he saw vox insulting him and only then went on the offensive

Helluva Boss is still getting episodes, so especially once we get a new episode, you'll be getting views on those.

I really want to know about Vox's backstory with Alastor... And I can't wait to see yoour Helluva analysis! I just need to know about Fizz and Blitz and STolas through your eyes! ♥

On the topic of covering Helluva Boss, trust me... you will have a field day analyzing Blitz.

Im sure there are lot of people out there who would love to see you break down the Helluva Boss characters, especially Blitzo and Fizzle characters and their relationship through the series

I think Vox really admires Alastor. Not romantically, but i think he sees Alastors power, control, and respect in Hell, and wants to be able to have that for himself. I think he misunderstands the source of Alastors power. He thinks it comes from his control over media, so he thinks by building his empire around TV he can surpass Al. Then it frustrates him that Alastor is still more powerful despite how radio is less common. Maybe Vox looked up to Alastor, and they may have been acquaintances at one point, but when Al rejected his offer to join the Vees, Vox started to resent him. Vox met his hero, and got let down. TLDR: Vox hates Alastor because hes jealous.

This is very relevant to me. My family lives rent-free in my head, and I literally cannot shut off the cycling thoughts of trauma and anger sometimes to the point where I almost feel sick. Trying to work on that though

I wonder if the issue is Vox compares his success to alastor's? Alastor was an overnight sensation who made waves and took over swiftly. Vox clearly didn't have the same experience since Alastor was still around for quite some time as an overlord and direct competition to the V's before he vanished for seven years.

The vox face taped to the monitor in the background got me rolling 💀 Great analysis as always

I love how you can take a character who has less than 2 mins of screen time and make a video of this length out of that!

You know how in the song "Respectless" Velvet says that she is " The backbone of the Vee's?" I don't believe that is true. If anything, Vox is the backbone, because velvet and Valentino have explosive tendencies, and his own ability to (somewhat) quell the other's emotions.

You mentioned that you’d try out some helluva boss characters to test the waters and I feel like Stolas and Blitzo would be the best first picks due to how popular they are and how deep their backstories are, also I’m so glad you did Vox! He’s such an interesting character

21:15 made me drop my food and my mouth because that's been something I struggle with. Replaying situations and social interactions in my head or arguments over and over again...this really shed light on l what I need to do as a person. Just try to let it go. Maybe I need do need to go to therapy

I CLICKED THIS SO FAST vox was one of the first new characters I IMMEDIATELY thought was just SO fun to watch.

I’ve always wanted you to do episodes of, “Helluva Boss”; the two things that I think would make interesting episodes are; - the challenges would be parents have with adoption (Blitzo and Loona) - examining/comparing a healthy romantic relationship (Moxie and Millie), to one that is toxic (Blitzo and Stolas or Stolas and Stella) - the trauma that children can go through, when their parents have an divorce (Octavia with her parents Stolas and Stella)

Your talk about revenge reminded me of a moment from the web series RWBY where one of the side villains got revenge on the main character and after she succeeded the villain just... shut down. She just sat there staring off into space not knowing what to do with her life now. It was almost depressing.

I was wondering why parts of your cosplay was green, but then I remembered that green represented jealousy, or envy, I can't remember exactly, but it's a neat detail nonetheless. (Looked it up, can't get a conclusive answer, but envy and jealousy come up frequently, so I'm half right in my eyes.)

1:10 It's the classic adage of "show, don't tell". If you have to _tell_ people to trust you, your actions are probably showing something different.

20:50 I love how Vox's part of this clip is just "No! ..." and then everything else is silent cause it's all curse words 😂

I think honestly Vox just feels unseen at the end of the day. Ironic considering he's the TV but nobody really *sees* him and I think that's why he is so desperate for attention and jealous when he's not getting it. Thank you for all these deep dives! I've loved them all and would also love Helluva Boss. Also if you ever go back to video games analysis I would loooove to see you tackle the mental health in FF7. It's really big in gaming right now with Rebirth being newly out and definitely my favorite game. And they ALL need therapy!

I had a roommate that's very reactionary, and I'm non reactionary. Though I didn't physically react to the outbursts there was still an emotional drain that eventually spiraled into depression. A rock erodes when constantly battered with waves. Though a non reactionary personality can work with a reactionary personality it's probably not a healthy relationship

Can’t wait to see what happens with him and Alastor next season

I agree on most parts, but in my point of view there is one part missing: the true reason why Vox is jealous. I believe, it is not just competition alone. I believe, there is something more to that: Vox is a perfectionist. He says to Valentino, that their trademark is "perfection". And Alastor is the complete opposite of perfection, he is well controlled chaos. His jacket is shabby, the radio signal is outdated, all the stuff Alastor is conjuring with magic is actually shabby and cheap. But in the end, Alastor is kind of successful. And everybody - except Angel - knows the Radio Demon and his show. Charlie immediatly recognizes him at the door in the pilot. Alastor is "successful trash", he is the one who gets sympathy although everybody realizes, he is lying and cheating. Alastor has the one thing, that Vox realley craves: Acknowledgement. Vox is trying hard to be perfect. His misconception is, that everybody shares his personal love for perfection and that the more perfect he becomes, the more love and sympathy he will get. Whereas Alastor has realized, that the opposite is true: Imperfection gets more sympathy, for everybody has their flaws and minor mistakes, everybody is imperfect or feels that way, therefore imperfection makes one more relatable. Vox is missing the bravery to be imperfect, he doesn't see how imperfection really creates individuality and sympathy and he doesn't understand that by being imperfect he would gain more love, affection and attention. I can only guess, but most probably Vox had very cold and distant parents, that only showed some attention to Vox when he brought the best marks from school, was the best in anything he did, was class president or head boy, etc. So far, my two pennies. Thanks for reading!

You haven’t done a video for Valentino, Velvette, Carmilla Carmine and Sera yet. I wanna see an analysis of each of them, please!

Hey Georgia!❤ Love all your videos covering “Hazbin Hotel”.💫 It’s very great how you pointed out Vox’s monotony and showing how he can do great things while being an Overlord, how as ‘technology’ he has improve and upgrade, in a way trading his own way of life to entertain others. It got me thinking of how perhaps that’s why Alastor rejected Vox’s invite to working with him. Cause Alastor is…Alastor, as the Radio Demon he likes the old fashioned way and doesn’t see himself ‘upgrading’ himself like Vox does cause he’s the TV Demon, always upgrading and changing.

The antennae jiggling actually makes this 1000× better it's not even remotely annoying. It's adorable

Vox is so manipulative. I love that his flaw is his pride and If he didn't lose it around Allister and stayed cool-headed he would be way more of a threat. Everyone's got a main sin holding them back. You do Helluva boss an I will watch it as long as I'm breathing haha. I also would like to see Invincible or Frieren: Beyond Journey's End.

The Truth Seekers episode of Helluva Boss is like a candy shop of character analysis lol

I love how you make matching outfits for the character you talk about. These Hotel character videos are now some of my favorites.

I wouldn't worry about HB not performing well, since that show is ongoing, it's community is very much active

Can you analyse Valentino please, it's fascinating how can he be just silly dramatic mothmen in one scene and then suddenly switch to horrifying abusive monster that we all love to hate

I definitely think you’d have really great material to talk about analyzing Blitzø and Stolas’ relationship. Even going over Millie and Moxie’s relationship being the “perfect couple” but seeing some issues in Unhappy Campers s2ep5 and how they fix it. Especially right now, fans are waiting for a new episode so we are looking for Helluva Boss content.

This video came at the perfect time. I recently had a bit of an outburst with my mom and older brother when my ex came up in conversation, almost exactly like Vox was when Valentino brought up Alastor. From my own mother and brother’s words it was honestly scary how quick I turned even though supposedly I had gotten over what happened with my ex. They told me that I should definitely talk about it with my therapist and that’s what I plan to do this week. Thanks for the introspection 🧡

Now that you've gotten the attention of the Hazbin community, Helluva boss stuff would probably do similarly. I'd love to see you cover Blitzo and Stolas's trauma and the dynamics of their relationships.

HelluvaBoss?! I need a Fizzaroli video PLEASE! Talk about complex emotions (to me he reads as having BPD but I'm biased because I related so HARD to him) In general, Stoles, Fizz, Luna, & Blitz will bring in views

Vox is such an interesting character to me, I really can't wait to see more of him next season!

Jey Vox! Finally!

Another thing I noticed, both Vox and Sir Pentious have hypnosis abilities, but where Vox entirely depends on hypnosis, Sir Pentious only used as a last line of defense.

With Helluva Boss, it may be a little older but it is still currently on-going and your views may potential go up when they release "Full Moon", the next episode that much of the Fandom is hyping for.

One thing I, as armchair psychologist, noticed is that in his song, when Vox asked where Alastor has been, he quickly answers his own question in a mocking laugh while try to get affirmation from his colleagues, Velvet and Valentino. I always see this as how threatened he is by Alastor and tells more about how much he hates that he is back.

Yes vox!! One of my favorite characters thanks again and nice cosplay as always!

Vox is such a fascinating character and so fun to watch. Jealousy is a very fitting theme for him and it doesn't only show with Alastor, but Angel, too. I hope you'll do Helluva Boss. It's a fun show and there are a lot of interesting characters to explore. I bet you'll love analyzing Blitz.

This video was actually kind of helpful for my real life. I had a friend who would covertly bully me (say little insults, exclude me in group settings, try to limit my individuality, very unreliable). Over a couple of months these things started to get to me (especially because I had other things going on making me more vulnerable at the time). I asked them twice if they were doing ok, hoping to give them the chance to tell me if they were upset with me, but they ghosted me both times. Eventually there was an incident where I was just pushed too far and told them they had really hurt me and asked them to choose different behavior in the future. They blew up at me and told me it was wrong of me to ask them to treat me differently and spoke really condescendingly towards me and refused to apologize. This whole thing still really effects me and they kind of live in my head rent free like Alastor in Vox’s head. I try to distract myself with other things, but it just really bothers me that they never apologized. We have some mutual friends and it also kind of bothers me that this persons behavior over the course of months wasn’t a concern to them. I know I should let it go, but I just feel slighted by them and like I can’t move on without some kind of apology (which I would never ever get). I can get kinda like Vox, wishing for Alastor’s downfall, but I don’t actually want anything bad to happen to them, I just want them to say sorry.

Vox fell screen over heels for Alastor back in the day, you can't change my mind

I love how Vox and Al are so similar in ways. Suit style just one blue and the other red. They dig their claws in when riled up. Both are in entertainment but rival mediums. But also the song battle, Vox displays a common criticism of the tv medium fostering a short attention span while radio is ‘slower’ and steady. He keeps interrupting Al at every step while Al allows Vox his words and then responds. They are very much two sides of the same coin.

With how Alastor lives rent free in Vox’s head, Vox’s blue screen has mentions of Alastor all throughout the text, that he’s crashing because of an error of the ALASTOR.EXE file.

The analysis aside, I simply adore your costumes and creativity! They are always spot on and so cute! Love it

It'sl like "Feild of Dreams", "If you make it, they will come." Helluva Boss is still an ongoing series, and fans are itching to greet new watchers and listen to their opinions. I've been waiting for your take on the characters since you are a professional

I love the dynamic between Alastor and Vox. Vox cares so much and Alastor just doesn’t, but he still can’t help but have just a little fun in toying with him. Like Vox is going on and on about Alastor, while Alastor is just kicked backed and sipping tea lol

If u do Helluva Boss, could u break down Fizzarolli? He and Angel Dust share a lot in common, especially through problems and trauma. It'd be entertaining to see how youd do it!

i will definitely be watching ALL the helluva videos just like the hazbin hotel ones!!!

I really can't wait for S2 to show us what really happened between him and Alastor.

There's been something stirring in my brain recently. There's A content creator known as Finnthepony, and he recently did some Hazbin vids that go over certain characters and theories relating to them, but that sometimes includes giving a bit too much benefit of the doubt (claiming Adam isn't evil because he's ignorant of his own behavior). Finn is very much a Charlie grade cinnamon roll (though typically a lot wiser and open to a smidge of bite), and his content is overall still very entertaining, but I did wonder about how your points with those he's covered compare and contrast

I love how you do a cosplay for each of these videos. also, DAT HAT!

I think Vox is just a salty ex-friend. Alastor rejected him, and he's still mad about it (at least) seven years later.

I think you would really love what 'Frieren Beyond Journy's End' has to say about the nature of life and the finding value in the world around us. As well as the feelings of living longer then those you care about.

Fellow therapist here 💕 I'm absolutely using Vox (alternatively, Alastor) as a new example of the "masterful salesperson" cognitive defusion technique within ACT! Especially with how that inner unhelpful dialogue will say "tRuSt Me..." 😵‍💫 I've shared this playlist with several of my clients that have analyzed Hazbin with me in session. This series is everything I'd want my psychotherapy content to be - I really hope you do continue with Helluva Boss!

One thing I noticed that Vox Alistor both have is the static. However, Alistor has it for most of the time, and only loses it in moments of high emotion or sincerity, while Vox GAINS static in moments of high emotion.

A good idea for another show for you to do could be Tangled the Series. It’s admittedly not as new but it has some VAs from Hazbin like Jeremy Jordan. And the main set of characters have some interesting psychological stuff going on. They touch upon PTSD, Identity crisises, And even the nature of power and people in leadership

I personally think it's a little soon for the Vees since they're supposedly foing to be the primary season 2 antagonists. Although that's also going to probably be a year away.

I’m so excited for this, Vox is one of my favs & he’s so genuinely interesting to analyze

You are amazing thank you for all the work you put into the videos and cosplay. Vox reminds me of that metaphor “the acid does more damage to the container it’s held in than the object it is poured onto.

I love the hat and the antenna wiggling and shaking and vox on the monitor I'll also love if you an analysis about Carmela Carmine and Zestial friendship and relationship she's obviously trust him enough to defend him against velvet and her daughters are very comfortable around him

20:29 me when I was told my childhood abuser died: 🕺🕺

Please do Invincible season 2. The finale just came out so there's still a lot of hype around that one.

Yessssss I was looking forward to an analysis on Vox

I would love to see some videos on dungeon meshi and/or frieren actually!

I want to see your analysis of soooo many of the minor characters in hazbin like verosika and barbie

YESSSS!!! Helluva Boss on the Vox episode!!! Double whammy :D 📺 🖥 So Helluva Boss wise: Loona is the most popular algorithm wise without doubt. Themes of anger management, gothic style avoidance, and struggles with adoptive parents (and more). Millie and Moxi - Just general wholesome, lovely supportive couple vibes. Touches on themes of parental approval or disapproval. Blitzo (the one I'm most keen to see!) - Themes of promiscuity, drive for business, Butcher levels of personal character flaws with surprising depths hidden inside there. But there's so many great ones!

I'm very intruiged to see where Vox (or just the vees in general) will end up during the next season!

You should do character analyses for Psychonauts!

Blitzs whole way of handling relationships is steak for a therapist

I would love to see you do spooky month, its a really fun show, though there are only 6 episodes right now.

Either Velvette or Sera would be interesting to do next. Velvette because she actually gives hints that she’s a lot smarter than she looks. Sera because I think the guilt and contradictions of what she’s doing wears on her in a different way than it did Vaggie or even Lute.
