Meta & Flint, the freaks who named their daughter Oblivion.

Don't let their looks fool you, they are actually good parents. (Maybe "okay" parents, they did let Liv run away with her boyfriend they never met and his band at 15. (But she was responsible and called them to explain her decision and that she already talked with the school and will be taking special exams at the end of every semester, so it's all good lmao.))

In my AU the Techno/Rock Trolls are the largest population of mixed trolls. They live concentrated along the shore between the Rock and Techno Kingdoms and also extending north into the no-man's-land on the map. This whole area is simply referred to as "the Shallows". They have their own communities and villages there which are located partially on land or exposed reefs/rocks and partially in the water.

Liv grew up in one of those villages. Her parents own a small apartment carved into a cliff side above the ocean. Personally they prefer walking over floating/swimming, and they can't stay in the sun for too long either (they all inherited sun sensitive skin from their Techno sides) so this way they're mostly on land and also aren't in direct sunlight after noon.

It's a modest home but I imagine they must have the pretties sunrises.

Despite the Shallows having their own communities they still belong under the Rock Kingdom which doesn't really care about them or their different needs much, so a lot of the trolls living there are very anti authority.

"I wanted to be unforgettable. Indelible. I wanted to haunt their hearts and minds—to be everywhere and nowhere, spectacular and out of reach. Only in the chaos did it dawn on me. Being remembered is not the same as being missed."

"I had choice paralysis :(" is a KILLER line.

Okay, hear me out on this. Selkie! Valentino AU

His wings are his coat, obviously, and they can be removed like a selkie's coat.

Now, instead of turning into a seal, Val's still a moth demon. His wings just hold his power as an overlord instead

He can turn into a giant moth - like Mothra or something - when he has his coat but he very, very, rarely does so. It's too revealing of what type of demon he really is.

And, yeah, people seek out 'selkies' for their power. To steal their coats and take the power they have for themselves.

Val has never once told another demon about being a selkie.

Even in Hell, they're rare to come across.

The circumstances for how a selkie comes into existence when a soul dies isn't public knowledge. And Lucifer & Lilith refuse to share it for the safety of the selkies in question.

Now, the first person Val ever tells about being a selkie is Vox.

It's very personal and the biggest show of trust he could do for someone. Because he does trust Vox to not stab him in the back.

A lot of the time Val wouldn't use his wings. They're pretty but they mean too much.

Damaging his coat not only physically hurts him, it diminishes the power he's gained. The more damage done, the weaker Val is. It's why he tends to avoid conflict as best he can unless he knows he can win.

Without his coat, Val is completely powerless. No overlord magic or special abilities like his smoke and venom. He's only about as strong as a normal sinner; maybe less.

When he's out in public, he never wears his wings like the coat. They are always tucked in behind him to protect them.

Obviously Vox knows all of this and he does what he can to help keep Val's coat safe.

Until, maybe, something happens and Vox hides Val's coat. To keep him safe? Keep him locked away? Make him reliant on Vox for protection?

Either way, Val is stuck with Vox until the TV decides to let him go or that he determines Val to be safe enough to earn his coat back.

Or Velvette comes along and finds the wings hidden where she shouldn't be snooping.

Maybe she talks to Val, brings the wings to him. Or maybe she talks to Vox and sides with him on the situation. Keeping Val trapped with them while using his power.

Someone could come along to set him free or Val decides for himself to stay exactly where he is with the other two Vees.

No matter what, he still doesn't have his wings and at most his image and reputation is being used by someone else to keep his porn empire running.

Angel, perhaps? Or Travis?

OKAY TUMBLR. IT'S TIME TO SETTLE THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL.

Reblog this if you pronounce “.gif” as “GIF.”

NOT JIF,

And here is the link for the opposite.

WE SHALL SEE WHICH ONE PREVAILS.

StaticMoth Headcanons (Romantic)

These two absolutely did couples therapy for a very, very, very long time, though their sessions did get less frequent over time as they learned how to navigate their relationship.

Vox appreciates the gestures and gifts and all, but he doesn’t have the heart to tell the moth demon that he cannot cook for shit so he usually just smiles and chokes down the meals… unfortunately this encourages the moth demon to continue trying to make new, more extravagant dishes, all of which taste like crap.

Valentino has horrible eyesight and usually and when they’re out, Vox acts as his eyes so that he doesn’t have to wear his glasses outside of the tower, but for their last anniversary, Vox got Valentino a set of prescription glasses identical to his signature heart frames so he could see the world around him. Val was absolutely ecstatic. He walked around like a kid in a candy store, pointing out every little detail of everything he could now see.

Velvett has dozens of cute couples photos of the two.

Vox learned spanish to impress Valentino…. He pronounces everything in the whitest possible way, but he did learn.

Around their tower, the pair often wear each other's things. Most of Vox’s leisure clothes are too small for Valentino so he often seems to be wearing cropped shirts or jackets because he still enjoys wearing his partner’s clothes despite the size difference.

Vox calls Valentino his butterfly as a term of endearment 

Val likes to play videogames, but sucks at them. When he plays with Vox and loses, he pouts and says that it's unfair since Vox has an advantage since he's a tv. Vox usually throws the match of whatever they're playing to avoid his partner pouting.

Jealousy. No matter which way you look at it. Val is a jealous lover, hating when anyone even so much as glances in Vox’s direction. Vox on the other hand is only really jealous of Angel Dust.

Vox tends to be the less physically affectionate one in the relationship, but he often seeks physical affection from his moth man as a form of comfort after a really bad day.

Valentino is a cuddler…. Unfortunately he also tends to run warm so he has caused Vox to overheat a bit, causing him to glitch.

On the nights a certain moth demon can’t sleep, Vox stays up with him and plays him the dancing fruit videos that people usually play for their babies.

Vox has always been a bit more of a romantic, but Valentino does pleasantly surprise him from time to time with gestures like poems or gifts that he never imagined Val would be thoughtful enough to come up with. He always makes sure to thank Velvette for both of them. She denies any involvement, but he knows she’s the only person aside from himself that Val trusts to help him with anything in his personal life.

One thoughtful gesture that the pimp did come up with on his own though, is the stuffed shark plushies he buys him for the anniversary of his arrival in hell. The first sharks were just cute plushes that looked similar to the sharks that Vox kept, but after he had bought the entire line of them, Valentino started getting them specially made.

While their on and off again relationship is known to most, the two are actually technically married and have been for a few years.

I think of this meme often when I stumble across Hazbin shipping discourse and hate.

Say what you want about the Dr Who/Sherlock/Potter Heads era of tumblr. Was it cringe? Yes. Unbelievably so. But the art and community that came from it was amazing.

The way the HH fandom tears into each other over ships that aren’t “cannon” is.. baffling to me.

Maybe I’m just too old to understand it. But it all feels so childish. Life is hard and has too many real problems. I don’t see the appeal in fighting over who imaginary characters do/do not sleep with.

I’ve seen this a lot with Alastor’s character specifically. Ace/Aro authors and artist create something based off of their own personal experiences- and get railroaded by other fans- simply because he’s portrayed in a way that doesn’t fit into their personal biases.

Hazbin fans- just because your favorite character is LGBTA doesn’t make you immune to bigoted behavior. Prejudice often disguises itself as public-interest.

Let people be fun. Let them be cringe. Let them make crack and terrible art. AUs, character studies, and crossovers can be the birthplace of amazing things.

I don’t really have a point with all of this. I just think it’s kinda sad how fans are ruining the show for themselves.

Have you ever notice the way Vox shushing Valentino in this scene?

[cosnotes]

I thought it would be an hour of listening to screaming and looking at pictures of draculas, but it was so much for frightening than fathomed

Some sketches from a rp with @phalene-rouge in a sorta AU set in the past before Val and Vox became Overlords ~
