Little detail I noticed…When Angel said “This little bitch is a traitor” there is a bit of a ‘drunk’ tone to it since he had been drinking beforehand. Love that detail
Im actually surprised a lot of fanon liked to portray Vox's voice with a filter. He's a flatscreen tv, of course his audio would be clear and crisp! I love how the filter only comes on when he's tweaking or angry
EXACTLY! Him having such a filter on all the time doesn't exactly speak "technology of the future" as it sounds more like a box TV. Plus, having him use the filter only at certain moments directly opposes that of Alastor, who has his filter on all the time while occasionally slipping out of it.
I interpret it as him "turning up the volume" even really nice tvs when you turn them up loud enough sound distorted. Atleast in my experience but i also get my tvs from pawn shops and walmart 😂
he did used to have an old type TV as a head, so I could imagine maybe his voice used to be a little distorted, but I could see the rational that his voice would be a different "part" to upgrade similar to how to you buy nice speakers for real TVs
Sinners can't die unless by angelic weapons. Other than that they can regenerate from anything. If the body is completely destroyed then they'll reconstitute elsewhere, but the process is hella painful.
I might be completely wrong in this, but I remember some one saying that if anyone in hell dies, like by angelic weapons or whatever, they get absorbed into the world, and that's why we see eyes incorporated in inanimate objects and architecture, and more appear after a large amount of death.
The audience got to see Angels mask slip slightly, but the characters didn't. Charlie loves him but she and Vaggie still think he's only here for the room because thats the facade he's kept up with them, so they have no idea he was feeling hurt.
I love the juxtaposition in the Vox vs. Alistor song. Vox starts out alone in his station, saying Alistor will wish he never came back, then going on air to the public. Alistor starts out talking to the public, and after the black out, it feels like Vox is alone watching and listening to Alistor's closing part.
I’m surprised you didn’t read Val’s messages Also! When Val’s mad, during his rant about Angel-- HE MAKES ANGRY MOTH SQUEAKS AND ITS REALLY CUTE OH and Alastor also makes an animal noise-- the noise you hear as soon as Sir Pent tears his coat-- an Elk sound can be heard which oddly enough sounds like a Radio screech 👀 (as well as when Al is transforming during the musical number “Stayed Gone”)
I really wish you’d pause a little more and take in scenes or even background details cause I’d much prefer you taking your time reacting then just trying to get through the reaction 😩
you're the first reactor who noticed/mentioned the fizzy bot. and I love you for noticing it and mention it. I really love that they included this scene with Val having an Fizzy bot by his side as an servant, I mean most of the fandom knows that Helluva boss and Hazbin hotel share the same universe.. but its really nice to see the Fizzy bot in the show like that. Also.. did you know that you can hear the sound of an Wendigo when Alastor uses his powers, like when he sends Sir Pentious flying. Which is really cool as Wendigo would fit Alastor's character.
One of the few indicators they are the same universe, although the pride ring is more the proper hell and the other rings might as well be called the demon world as there are no human souls allowed in them. But the bot being there does let us know that there is some overlap timeline wise that if Fizzaroli has been working for Mammon for ten years then Hazbin Hotel is somewhere in there. Although Hazbin Hotel season 1 could still be set before any events in Helluva Boss as some theories go as this show was intended to be made first, it just didn't work out that way.
@@TheRhuen Ok.. but I legit just thought this now.. so we all know that Sinners can't leave the pride ring.. Well who does the I.M.P take contracts from? People who died and went to hell so a.k.a Sinners.. meaning Blitz, Loona, Millie and Moxxie are all in the Pride ring.. as that would be the only way they can sinners come into their office. Which does make me wonder if we ever see them in the background someday in the future. Also about timeline wise.. well it's true it have to be in the 10 year Fizzaroli worked for mammon.. so who knows maybe the I.M.P maybe haven't yet started their business up yet.
@@zero69kage well maybe.. but seeing as you just said that he is meant to be an Wendigo.. and Wendigo's normally is shown with deer/elk skulls then it would make sense for the sound he makes to be of an Wendigo. obviously its not like anyone knows what an Wendigo sound like.. so they use something that seems fitting.
The first choice for Vox's voice acor was Mark Hamil Vox died in the 1950s Vox and Valentino have a on & off relationship, where Val would break Vox's screen for bringing him the wrong drink, and would buy a bigger tv as a make up present
Oh my god, if Mark Hamil voiced Vox!…that’d be INSANE…don’t get me wrong, I love his actual VA, I’d argue it’s more fitting…but Mark is surprisingly good at playing crazy people
While it is interesting to think of vox's old life as being a hacker, it's most likely that he was a TV salesman, seeing as his whole gimmick is pretty much manipulating people into buying extremely expensive stuff for little to no reason. Fun fact: in Val's apartment, you can see a picture of what val and Vox looked like when they first entered hell. Vox appears to have been a Box TV with a huge part at the back. And when those were still around and very common, the concept of hacking didn't really exist. So he was most likely a manipulative salesman who who lied and controlled other to get what he wants... I mean I thought it was obvious, why else is it that when he's in public, he sounds like a seedy car salesman who is trying to get you to buy expensive and crappy car?
the reason why I probe and question despite how "obvious" the answer may seem is because sometimes things aren't what they appear on the surface! I didnt see the picture you're talking about initially and I was simply trying to tear apart all potential backgrounds ^^ although, your note about how hackers were less common in box TV days is a good point! "seedy salesman" isn't the only popular headcanon either though; some people in the comments find him to serve more "immoral TV show host/news anchor" vibes than anything else. at the end of the day though, we're all just forming FIIIILMMM THEORIIESSSSS and we can't be 100% confident until it's canonized in the series
Oh hell yeah, I've been excited for more of your Hazbin reactions! Having now seen the entire season and knowing all the big twists and turns, I'm am SO excited for the rest. I don't have much to say about this episode other than Vox is hilarious, Alastor's demon form was absolutely terrifying, and Sir Pentious is the best snek boi. Edit: Oh yeah I also love that Vox's voice distorts when he gets mad. And his electric powers are so cool. I know he's probably not as powerful as Alasotr, but I'm sure he's got some strong lightning power. Also yes, Velvette's line about her model needing to pull herself back together is in reference to the fact that Sinners can't permanently die unless an angelic weapon kills them. Also I saw someone point out that Val actually squeaks a little when he talks because apparently some moths can squeak. It's hard to hear, but once you hear it it's hard to unhear it lol. Also that Alastor doodle was drawn by Viv years ago, I'm so happy they included it lol Edit: I love our girl Charlie and the scene is funny, but making Angel play the drug dealer was probably a bit insensitive considering he's an addict. Also I love how they completely sidestepped the trope of blaming the character they know and trusting the new guy Also I need to start typing as I watch and only post when the video is over and yes I did do multiple edits again oops. I'm sorry I always leave whole essays, I just have a lot of thoughts about stuff I like and get carried away when I talk about them ^^;
I have an odd little theory, it's most likely that Valentino was kind of a backup option for the Vs, think about it. The others revolve around technology and media. Vox controls the most things with screens. Velvette represents cellphones and social media apps like tiktok and Twitter. Valentino does not represent any kind of Technology. Alastor on the other hand does represent technology, he represents the radio. Another interesting little tidbit, look at als name next to vox's. Alastor/Vox? Audio/Visual? It's most likely that they were friends in the past, but something happened which caused bad blood to form. What we do know however is that Vox wanted Al in the V's and Al refused... Now chances are that if Al did join the V's he would most likely of had to change his name choose something starting with a v, some people think Venison... But the other choice actually sheds some light on a topic. Valastor would have most likely been Al's name had he joined. Funnily enough that name just so happens to have the shortened nickname of Val... You know the shortened name of Valentino? What if Valentino wasn't supposed to be a member of the V's originally, and with only chosen as a backup option. It would also be really f***** up because Valentino's own name would essentially serve as a reminder that he is the second pick, the "if the popular kid doesn't want to join our team, pick a rando" option. Underneath all of the cruelty and anger and abuse, he might have mental trauma.
I do think it'd be interesting for Valentino to have been a backup, and with the evidence you provided, it does seem feasible! That said, I don't think attributing Val's abusive behavior to mental trauma is the vibe. He doesn't seem the type to find himself beneath anyone, even if its being bonked on the top of his head that he is. He's too full of himself, I think
@@NevaehEvol oh yeah, believe me, I know his type, my ma used to be with a guy exactly like him... Maybe worse... All I'm saying is yes I hate his guts, and yes he a piece shite... And that's why even if it did effect him (even some small amount) I'd still laugh in his face.
Going from what we see of them, Vox and Valentino are kind of manipulative towards each other simultaneously. Vox is able to use Valentino's desire to look respectable to keep his homicidal temper in check (while also using him to dispose of his least useful employees for extra measure). Val, at least when he isn't losing his sh*t over Angel, can use Vox's obsessive hatred of Alastor to provoke him into making a fool of himself trying to one up the radio demon while getting reminded of how he depends on him and Velvette for his success, which is supported by the sly smiles he and Vel have when Alastor boasts about how Vox'd "be powerless without the other Vees". They're a slightly more stable-but toxic relationship in a more subtle way that can be hard to see on first watch.
I can totally get why that's your favorite! their rivalry is really funny, especially when Vox falls as flat as his head thank you!! I appreciate the compliment
I think val was dumb in this episode because vox hynotized him whem he speaked with that voice filter and he even lighted up his screen (val is a moth if you get what am saying)
7:51 yes actually. Val ripped apart a sinner literally limb from limb she didn’t die but it was painful and she will eventually recover/put herself back together.
@@NevaehEvol it is implied that it is a very painful experience but the immortality is one reason why Overlord and sinner and more powerful and rank higher then most Hellborn demons.
Little detail. The lines on voxs face at 15:02 are supposedly saliva from Val. We can also see that velvette and val made a "love potion" using it....its a roofie- so yeah. Fun detail. Valentinos saliva is like an aphrodisiac or certain drug-
I'm so late on this one, but.. on the theory that more people have lived and died with radio in their lives, than tv: Radio became wide-spread around 1910. Television overtook radio as the dominant medium around 1950. And we are now in 2024. So radio had around 40 years as the main medium, while TV has been widespread for almost 75 years. But the argument might still be valid if we angle it slightly differently as being radio vs online streaming.
it's okay, bc I'm late to replying to your comment cbsnvjendn but you're so right! especially since the population boomed for a while- i appreciate you actually doing the math on the idea!!
I really love the difference between Vox's and Al's verses. Vox just tells people what to think and throws around half cooked insults at an impossible to follow pace. Alastor makes genuine observations and asks the veiwers questions at a speed that we can hear him. It really shows the priorities of the two. (Quantity vs Quality) [ This analysis was brought to you by VoxTech Trust us ]
I realized after rewatching this. I saw a post about the name of the Vee's that said: "vee" is also a word for a certain type of polyamorous relationship in which one person dates two different people separately who don't have a relationship with each other. So it can be assumed by this and the way they all speak to and about each other that Vox is dating both Valentino and Velvette, but the relationship between Velvette and Val is a working one. SO I just realized, when Alastor says Vox asked him to join his team, maybe Vox was also saying he was interested in Alastor and Al's aroace ass was like, "No way!" Just an idea I had that I'm sure other people thought of first
I didn't consider the relationship dynamic going beyond Val and Vox; that's a really interesting theory!! I love the idea of Vox being romantically interested in Al and him swerving him 😂💚🪞💫
Radio is a voice in the darkness... not unlike a character that hasn't been shown yet. I have to wonder if that's deliberate on Vivzi's part (considering how many Easter eggs she puts into her work, it wouldn't surprise me).
I also think the hypno eye thing may be a compulsory thing for Vox at times. Sure, he can make it happen when he needs to hypno someone, but i can also imagine it pops up when Vox is frustrated. Like a tic of sorts.
You mentioned in your first episode reaction that you like the little animal background noises for the characters. Not sure you noticed but since Valentino is based on a moth, he makes little squeaks when he talks just like real moths do
Since you reacted to Murder Drones and you reacted to Helluvaboss You need to see the Murder Drones vs Helluvaboss animation The voice acting is quite close, the animation is beautiful, and there are a few references to either show its great
Fam you are an amazing ytbr!! Your depth of knowledge from noticing small animation detales to the depth of your insightful knowledge of both plot and emotional circumstances is so damn impressive. You are one of the most emotionally and insightful vtubers ive come across in a while and you deserve all of the recognition my gal!! Please keep dong what you're doing and i adore your take on this show which has been an obsession for four years and i loove seeing others enjoy it as well. Try checking out Helluva Boss by the same creator if ya havent yet, i think youll enjoy it. Much love and iblook forward to your other content in the future!! 💜💜💜
dude, I can't express how flattered and bashful I am from this praise; I try to express my thoughts and identify all the little stuff I spot aloud for those who missed it and because it's fun to call attention to the animators hard work I do have a playlist for my Helluva Boss reactions available on my channel! I believe I have all of the currently released episodes available (also, I use they/them, just a psa ^^)
Thank you for the correction on ya preferred pronouns fam. I absolutely adore your content and am gonna binge your helluva boss series asap! I genuinely hope your amazing viewpoints and fantastic content blows up and gets the recognition it deserves! Much love homie! 💚
Im building the theory that alistar had a deal with nearly every overlord, like...maybe vox can't censor his voice, that's why Vox says "don't give him the time of day" and that the real threat is alistar himself
5:02 about that, both Vox and Alastor have a bit of on-and-off with their chiptune voice effects. Vox's is usually off while Alastor's is usually on. Also here's an idea: what if you uploaded the unwatermarked reactions to a Google drive download link?
maybe the voice mod is a show of their power? hence why Alastor would have it all the time I don't have the space for all the episodes on Google Drive, but I should be able to upload the unwatermarked versions to Patreon!
Just from his outfit I can tell Vox was some sort of early TV personality. Unlike Alastor though he's actually intent on keeping up with technology. There's even a picture in the background of one scene where he has an old CRT TV for a head. Man replaced his whole head to keep up with the times.
that checks out!! although, I read somewhere that Val had broken his TV face a couple different times and he "apologizes" by getting him a new, fancier head
To me, I get the vibe that Vox and Val are more "Friends with Benefits" than an "item" because of how much Vox seems to genuinely hate Val and considering how many other people Val is implied to bang on the regular. I may be wrong, but like I said, that's the vibe I get.
Id like to point out that what Alastor says at the end of the song about the status quo and people wishing he stayed gone is obviously a rebuttle to Vox saying pretty much the same thing at the start but heres the thing Vox wasnt live when he said that so the fact that Alastor somehow heard it is fucking terrifying
Introducing the VVVs, expect to see more from them, also the next Episodes will get very interesting, can’t wait for your Reactions. Speaking of which, what is the status of your Epithet Erased Reaction?
I look forward to it!! Epithet is, unfortunately, gonna have to be on the back burner for at least another few weeks as I'm gonna be out of town, and I have the Hazbin Hotel episodes lined up already in preparation for such
Speaking of that love Potion. I know the sins aren't connected to Hazbin Hotel but I wonder how Ozzie would feel, learning that a sinner was abusing his domain of Lust with that love Potion.
the Vox vs Alastor song, Vox lost the moment he went on air, he's constantly got this look of "If I scream it loud enough and enough times, they'll have to believe me! I'm actually terrified of him coming back, but I have to show that I'm not!"
I love your reactions! You're really enjoyable and more genuine and interested than most reaction channels. ...any change of bribing you into releasing these ones twice a week instead of once a week? :3
I really appreciate that!! I enjoy the show a lot, same w Helluva Boss and Murder Drones, so it's easy to reflect that in my videos! unfortunately, I am out of town for the next couple weeks, then my semester starts up again so I don't think that'll be doable for me- I'm sorry for the inconvenience :(
No no that's fine, it's not something you have to apologise about! I was just pushing my luck because your reactions are so enjoyable. have a good trip wherever it is! :)
I think when Velvette was talking about "pull herself back together," it was a play on words. In every fashion show I've seen mom watch, there's always been that one girl who's always being a dramatic bitch. Most of the time, she'll pull herself together for the finals and stuff. For this one, it's quite literally pulling herself together in more ways than one lol.
@@NevaehEvol also maybe all of the overlords had jobs on earth that then become their powers in hell velvet was maybe a famous social media user in life Val was a pimp Carmella was more then likely a weapons dealer or maker
It was kind of funny listening to Nevaeh speculate on Sir Pentious's seasonal arc knowing how the episode ends. In Native American folklore (I can never remember the specific tribe), there is a creature called the wendigo. It is a cannibalistic spirit, that is often described as a tall and gaunt humanoid. However, some versions portray it with antlers. Now, the legend is from a snowy mountain region, and Alastor is from Louisiana, so that's different, but seeing Alastor's more demonic form, I can't help but wonder if Vivzie was partially influenced by the legend in his design.
As for why Valentino was upset for Angel Dust moving out to Charlie's hotel, it's because he doesn't have power over Angel as part of the deal on his contract, which that Valentino had control over him as long as he's eithin the studio that Valentino owns
@@NevaehEvol nice can't wait Nevaeh, on a side note you remember how a few months back I told I've thought about trying Vtubeing, well I've decided to try and design my own model and then try to come up with the money to get someone to rig it for me, and if it's someone who does both and won't charge an arm and a leg to tweak the design and rig it I'd welcome it because like I said I'm pretty 💩 at drawing humanoids, and I'm not going to give any spoilers for episode 4 just a little warning first half trigger warning second half therapy inducing with another one of my favorite songs, the episode has two of my favorite songs but the second half I actually like watching/dancing to
I think they are an item, although I think Velvette is closer on the Aro/ace spectrum as she is not physical or romantically expressive with either of them but still exhibits caring for them in some capacity
Somebody's a Les Mis fan. 😉

10:13 yes!!! I love that tone and voice distortion for Vox. It’s so satisfying to hear. I love the sound editing
the sound design in this show goes so crazy, I love it
Vox gives me “father” vibes from codename: kids next door show
omg, I haven't thought about that show in forever
@@NevaehEvol I just started watching you from your helluva boss reactions. You hooked me into both of these series 😂! Jerk haha
I have an odd little theory, it's most likely that Valentino was kind of a backup option for the Vs, think about it.
The others revolve around technology and media. Vox controls the most things with screens. Velvette represents cellphones and social media apps like tiktok and Twitter.
Valentino does not represent any kind of Technology. Alastor on the other hand does represent technology, he represents the radio.
Another interesting little tidbit, look at als name next to vox's.
Alastor/Vox? Audio/Visual? It's most likely that they were friends in the past, but something happened which caused bad blood to form.
What we do know however is that Vox wanted Al in the V's and Al refused...
Now chances are that if Al did join the V's he would most likely of had to change his name choose something starting with a v, some people think Venison...
But the other choice actually sheds some light on a topic. Valastor would have most likely been Al's name had he joined.
Funnily enough that name just so happens to have the shortened nickname of Val... You know the shortened name of Valentino? What if Valentino wasn't supposed to be a member of the V's originally, and with only chosen as a backup option.
It would also be really f***** up because Valentino's own name would essentially serve as a reminder that he is the second pick, the "if the popular kid doesn't want to join our team, pick a rando" option.
Underneath all of the cruelty and anger and abuse, he might have mental trauma.
I do think it'd be interesting for Valentino to have been a backup, and with the evidence you provided, it does seem feasible! That said, I don't think attributing Val's abusive behavior to mental trauma is the vibe. He doesn't seem the type to find himself beneath anyone, even if its being bonked on the top of his head that he is. He's too full of himself, I think
@@NevaehEvol oh yeah, believe me, I know his type, my ma used to be with a guy exactly like him... Maybe worse...
All I'm saying is yes I hate his guts, and yes he a piece shite... And that's why even if it did effect him (even some small amount) I'd still laugh in his face.
Im loving rewatching the show for the billionth time with you
heheheh, I'm glad to hear that!
Are you going to react to all episodes ?! YEEEESSSS !!!!
Edit : When Valentino talks or gets mad he squeeks like a moth
I'm gonna try!! so far so good!
That's such a perfect detail, I love it
I once heard that Pentious has "Sephirot hair" and now that's all I think about when I see him.
what have you done to me?
@@NevaehEvol Lol, I have passed on the curse it seems
I don't know if you noticed but when the hypnosis didn't work the first time Vox brightens his screen for the part that scratches the brain so well.
That intermission was EVERYTHING 👏
Going from what we see of them, Vox and Valentino are kind of manipulative towards each other simultaneously. Vox is able to use Valentino's desire to look respectable to keep his homicidal temper in check (while also using him to dispose of his least useful employees for extra measure). Val, at least when he isn't losing his sh*t over Angel, can use Vox's obsessive hatred of Alastor to provoke him into making a fool of himself trying to one up the radio demon while getting reminded of how he depends on him and Velvette for his success, which is supported by the sly smiles he and Vel have when Alastor boasts about how Vox'd "be powerless without the other Vees". They're a slightly more stable-but toxic relationship in a more subtle way that can be hard to see on first watch.
Did you notice how Sir Pentious' claps were softer because he's wearing gloves? This show is so good HBKGVJFCF!!!
I didn't, but omg that's such amazing attention to detail!
Fun fact: Valentino squeaks like moth (I'm only 9 min in lol)
it's a really nice touch! 💚🪞💫
@@NevaehEvol Yeah it's the only cute thing about his character lol
Not enough reactors seem to appreciate Niffty's cute nightgown (33:42), so I'm glad you do :)
Both alastor and vox have so similar personality, they are just produces of their decades .
This starts to become a LOT more obvious for Alastor in future episodes. Him and Vox are the same kind of attention whore.
33:06
Vaggie and Angel: We just wanted to fucking sleep
2:47 Les Miserables!
ding ding!
24:46- 24:50 good news Sir Pentious you got what you wanted. Bad news is you got exactly what you wanted.
be careful what you wish for and all that
Stayed Gone is my favourite song. Vox and Alastor's rivalry is hilarious. I need more of it in Season 2. Also your reactions have been awesome!
I can totally get why that's your favorite! their rivalry is really funny, especially when Vox falls as flat as his head
thank you!! I appreciate the compliment
@@NevaehEvol That and Alastor's duet with Lucifer. Alastor slays every song he's in
I think val was dumb in this episode because vox hynotized him whem he speaked with that voice filter and he even lighted up his screen (val is a moth if you get what am saying)
I totally agree! 💚🪞💫
7:51 yes actually. Val ripped apart a sinner literally limb from limb she didn’t die but it was painful and she will eventually recover/put herself back together.
interesting! I would've assumed they stay in that state of perpetual agony until cleansing day
@@NevaehEvol it is implied that it is a very painful experience but the immortality is one reason why Overlord and sinner and more powerful and rank higher then most Hellborn demons.
Little detail. The lines on voxs face at 15:02 are supposedly saliva from Val. We can also see that velvette and val made a "love potion" using it....its a roofie- so yeah. Fun detail. Valentinos saliva is like an aphrodisiac or certain drug-
I'm so late on this one, but.. on the theory that more people have lived and died with radio in their lives, than tv: Radio became wide-spread around 1910. Television overtook radio as the dominant medium around 1950. And we are now in 2024. So radio had around 40 years as the main medium, while TV has been widespread for almost 75 years. But the argument might still be valid if we angle it slightly differently as being radio vs online streaming.
it's okay, bc I'm late to replying to your comment cbsnvjendn
but you're so right! especially since the population boomed for a while- i appreciate you actually doing the math on the idea!!
“I also think kitty is the same as fizzy. And love how you react to her love your reaction
im glad you enjoyed!!!
@@NevaehEvol plus did you notice Valentino posing pics behind vox when they were talking
Les miserable sung by hugh jackman turning himself in to save a man who was innocently accused of being him
Les Mis is so good, dude I love it
“24601” is a reference to ‘Les Misérables’ - I really liked Hugh Jackman’s performance m. The whole cast was great
yesss!! you're so right 💚🪞💫
Awesome title and yes alastor fits that title
thank you, I agree!
You and Nifty have totally matching personalities so often, its great haha (the rest of the time is probably more Vaggy)
I hate that this flattered me djsbanxjxnand 😭😂😂
@@NevaehEvol its all good things! I swear! Hehehe, definitely all adorable things
I really love the difference between Vox's and Al's verses. Vox just tells people what to think and throws around half cooked insults at an impossible to follow pace. Alastor makes genuine observations and asks the veiwers questions at a speed that we can hear him. It really shows the priorities of the two. (Quantity vs Quality)
[ This analysis was brought to you by VoxTech
Trust us ]
There is a theory going around that all the characters with two different eyes have sold their soul to someone else, usually an overlord or demon.
ooo, that's an interesting theory! I haven't heard that one before
I realized after rewatching this.
I saw a post about the name of the Vee's that said: "vee" is also a word for a certain type of polyamorous relationship in which one person dates two different people separately who don't have a relationship with each other. So it can be assumed by this and the way they all speak to and about each other that Vox is dating both Valentino and Velvette, but the relationship between Velvette and Val is a working one.
SO I just realized, when Alastor says Vox asked him to join his team, maybe Vox was also saying he was interested in Alastor and Al's aroace ass was like, "No way!"
Just an idea I had that I'm sure other people thought of first
I didn't consider the relationship dynamic going beyond Val and Vox; that's a really interesting theory!! I love the idea of Vox being romantically interested in Al and him swerving him 😂💚🪞💫
Radio is a voice in the darkness... not unlike a character that hasn't been shown yet. I have to wonder if that's deliberate on Vivzi's part (considering how many Easter eggs she puts into her work, it wouldn't surprise me).
I'm not entirely sure what you're referring to, but if it seems like foreshadowing or an Easter egg, then it probably is
Alastor+ the V's= The A/V club
I also think the hypno eye thing may be a compulsory thing for Vox at times. Sure, he can make it happen when he needs to hypno someone, but i can also imagine it pops up when Vox is frustrated. Like a tic of sorts.
Velvet being the social media demon is great
hard agree!
If I remember right vox has his ability where he can teleport using any video equipment
You mentioned in your first episode reaction that you like the little animal background noises for the characters. Not sure you noticed but since Valentino is based on a moth, he makes little squeaks when he talks just like real moths do
"Who am I? 24601!!!!!"
"Mesiour le Mayor, you are not well."
mwah 💚🪞💫
Since you reacted to Murder Drones and you reacted to Helluvaboss
You need to see the Murder Drones vs Helluvaboss animation
The voice acting is quite close, the animation is beautiful, and there are a few references to either show its great
I think I remember someone mentioning this before and it sounds very fun!
Fam you are an amazing ytbr!! Your depth of knowledge from noticing small animation detales to the depth of your insightful knowledge of both plot and emotional circumstances is so damn impressive. You are one of the most emotionally and insightful vtubers ive come across in a while and you deserve all of the recognition my gal!! Please keep dong what you're doing and i adore your take on this show which has been an obsession for four years and i loove seeing others enjoy it as well. Try checking out Helluva Boss by the same creator if ya havent yet, i think youll enjoy it. Much love and iblook forward to your other content in the future!! 💜💜💜
dude, I can't express how flattered and bashful I am from this praise; I try to express my thoughts and identify all the little stuff I spot aloud for those who missed it and because it's fun to call attention to the animators hard work I do have a playlist for my Helluva Boss reactions available on my channel! I believe I have all of the currently released episodes available
(also, I use they/them, just a psa ^^)
Thank you for the correction on ya preferred pronouns fam. I absolutely adore your content and am gonna binge your helluva boss series asap! I genuinely hope your amazing viewpoints and fantastic content blows up and gets the recognition it deserves! Much love homie! 💚
Im building the theory that alistar had a deal with nearly every overlord, like...maybe vox can't censor his voice, that's why Vox says "don't give him the time of day" and that the real threat is alistar himself
Read the blue screen of death
5:02 about that, both Vox and Alastor have a bit of on-and-off with their chiptune voice effects. Vox's is usually off while Alastor's is usually on.
Also here's an idea: what if you uploaded the unwatermarked reactions to a Google drive download link?
maybe the voice mod is a show of their power? hence why Alastor would have it all the time
I don't have the space for all the episodes on Google Drive, but I should be able to upload the unwatermarked versions to Patreon!
@@NevaehEvol Waaaaa me no haves moneeee 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Seriously though, you don't have space on mediafire or mega either?
Just from his outfit I can tell Vox was some sort of early TV personality. Unlike Alastor though he's actually intent on keeping up with technology. There's even a picture in the background of one scene where he has an old CRT TV for a head. Man replaced his whole head to keep up with the times.
that checks out!! although, I read somewhere that Val had broken his TV face a couple different times and he "apologizes" by getting him a new, fancier head
To me, I get the vibe that Vox and Val are more "Friends with Benefits" than an "item" because of how much Vox seems to genuinely hate Val and considering how many other people Val is implied to bang on the regular. I may be wrong, but like I said, that's the vibe I get.
The song was freaking awesome! I loved it!
this show serves bop after bop!
Your reactions are absolutely adorable!!!~ can't wait to see more!
23:43 uhm. how are you so good at predicting lmao
I'm a pskykik B)
Id like to point out that what Alastor says at the end of the song about the status quo and people wishing he stayed gone is obviously a rebuttle to Vox saying pretty much the same thing at the start but heres the thing Vox wasnt live when he said that so the fact that Alastor somehow heard it is fucking terrifying
Introducing the VVVs, expect to see more from them, also the next Episodes will get very interesting, can’t wait for your Reactions.
Speaking of which, what is the status of your Epithet Erased Reaction?
I look forward to it!!
Epithet is, unfortunately, gonna have to be on the back burner for at least another few weeks as I'm gonna be out of town, and I have the Hazbin Hotel episodes lined up already in preparation for such
@@NevaehEvol hm, I see, that’s fair, I can wait.
I will look forward to see it.
24601 is the number of a prisoner who is the main protagonist from Les Miserables

there's more comin, dont you worry! every Saturday at 10 am PST!
This showed up on my recommended…
I like. Im also at 19:46.
I shall watch further and maybe consider subscribing…
I'm glad you decided to check out the video, even if you don't end up subscribing! your support means a lot to me 💚🪞💫
8:48 Do not know if it is intentional, but there is a colourful and well-known moth called tiger moth. Maybe that is why?
Speaking of that love Potion. I know the sins aren't connected to Hazbin Hotel but I wonder how Ozzie would feel, learning that a sinner was abusing his domain of Lust with that love Potion.
Wait wvy was it so dumm funny that angel and vaggie sang can't we just kill him in perfect harmony 😂😂
because they are perfect 💚🪞💫
2:53 I literally was in a production les Mis a couple weeks ago and my older brother is gonna be in it next week!
that's so cool!! I'm sure you crushed it ♡♡♡
Love the Les Mes reference
and I love you muah muah
the Vox vs Alastor song, Vox lost the moment he went on air, he's constantly got this look of "If I scream it loud enough and enough times, they'll have to believe me! I'm actually terrified of him coming back, but I have to show that I'm not!"
I love your reactions! You're really enjoyable and more genuine and interested than most reaction channels.
...any change of bribing you into releasing these ones twice a week instead of once a week? :3
I really appreciate that!! I enjoy the show a lot, same w Helluva Boss and Murder Drones, so it's easy to reflect that in my videos!
unfortunately, I am out of town for the next couple weeks, then my semester starts up again so I don't think that'll be doable for me- I'm sorry for the inconvenience :(
No no that's fine, it's not something you have to apologise about! I was just pushing my luck because your reactions are so enjoyable. have a good trip wherever it is! :)
I think when Velvette was talking about "pull herself back together," it was a play on words. In every fashion show I've seen mom watch, there's always been that one girl who's always being a dramatic bitch. Most of the time, she'll pull herself together for the finals and stuff. For this one, it's quite literally pulling herself together in more ways than one lol.
I think vox was probably a tv host since alastor was a radio host and became a radio demon
seems like a solid enough guess! they also refer to him as "Video Star" in the episode title, which goes hand and hand w that!
@@NevaehEvol also maybe all of the overlords had jobs on earth that then become their powers in hell velvet was maybe a famous social media user in life Val was a pimp Carmella was more then likely a weapons dealer or maker

It was kind of funny listening to Nevaeh speculate on Sir Pentious's seasonal arc knowing how the episode ends.
In Native American folklore (I can never remember the specific tribe), there is a creature called the wendigo. It is a cannibalistic spirit, that is often described as a tall and gaunt humanoid. However, some versions portray it with antlers. Now, the legend is from a snowy mountain region, and Alastor is from Louisiana, so that's different, but seeing Alastor's more demonic form, I can't help but wonder if Vivzie was partially influenced by the legend in his design.
I believe, yes, his design was. If you want an in-universe link, Alastor could be at least part Cajun, this having ancestors from French Canada.
Pretty sure the Wendigo is simply a coincidence. So much is revealed outside of the actual in live streams and Q&As.
Sometimes I think he might be a rougarou, but iirc they're more like werewolves
When sir pentious said "Who am i?! Who am i?! I mind went to steven universe
I believe the reference is from Less Miserables, a Quentin Tarantino movie about frenchmen hunting Nazis behind German lines while singing
Did you also noticed Melissa eyes when velvet called her to try on the dresses. They were hearts in her pupils
29:16 I had an ex talk to me like this and I was oblivious to it and my bestie at the time brought me to the light about it
im glad you were able to recognize it eventually and get yourself out of that situation ♡
@@NevaehEvol thank you and my bestie’s boyfriend did the same thing and I helped her out
As for why Valentino was upset for Angel Dust moving out to Charlie's hotel, it's because he doesn't have power over Angel as part of the deal on his contract, which that Valentino had control over him as long as he's eithin the studio that Valentino owns
Ah yes. Spoiling stuff that's revealed in future episodes. GG.
10:19 What wrinkles? (Im sorry please don’t kill me 😭)
sobbing 😭😭
I can't wait for you to see the next episode it has one of my favorite songs in it, and I guarantee that you'll love it to
I hope you liked the episode 3 upload then! 💚🪞💫 I think I can guess which song you're talking about and it was amazing!
@@NevaehEvol nice can't wait Nevaeh, on a side note you remember how a few months back I told I've thought about trying Vtubeing, well I've decided to try and design my own model and then try to come up with the money to get someone to rig it for me, and if it's someone who does both and won't charge an arm and a leg to tweak the design and rig it I'd welcome it because like I said I'm pretty 💩 at drawing humanoids, and I'm not going to give any spoilers for episode 4 just a little warning first half trigger warning second half therapy inducing with another one of my favorite songs, the episode has two of my favorite songs but the second half I actually like watching/dancing to
@@NevaehEvol and thanks for the heart
@@NevaehEvol and yes I saw it, actually forgot I had already seen it
Who am I? 24601 was a Les Miserabe reference.
ding ding! love that musical :D
Can’t wait for episode 3
this Saturday, 10am PST!
Vox is great and i hope we get a lot more of him in th future :3
🎶And she is JAVERT!🎶
I think they are an item, although I think Velvette is closer on the Aro/ace spectrum as she is not physical or romantically expressive with either of them but still exhibits caring for them in some capacity
19:27
I’d Nev as strong she rapports, or is it based on her support?
Was that background sheep woman sinner a Cult of the Lamb reference?
Yay a 18 plus RUclips channel with rules 😭
woohoo!!! 💚🪞💫
Fun fact: Pentious and Adam are the same voice actor
