Vox's Last PA (Before Hellaina)

Hellaina was not Vox's first PA, she is, however, his second. No, the first was a man named Jerome Alton, though in Hell, he decided to change it to Jeremy. He was born in 1900, just early enough to come to adulthood during the height of the 1920s, and just late enough to avoid serving in World War 1.

He made his money trading on Wall Street-- by day he was balancing odds and price differences, and at night he was frequenting speakeasies and parties of the other young rich. Sadly for Jerome, all that fell to pieces on October 29th, 1929. He lost everything in the stock market crash, and despite his attempts during the first few years of the Great Depression, found his life of luxury taken out from under him. He had no money, he had to leave his lovely apartment, and his dinners of caviar and champagne turned to hours long drudgery in breadlines. It's the shame that got him in the end, more than anything else.

In 1931, Jerome Alton fell to Pentagram City. For a while he tried to make himself Overlord, but all of them had been in power for far too long, and then in 1933, Alastor the Radio Demon went on a slaughtering spree, and Jeremy was mostly interested in staying the fuck away from that.

In 1955, Vox died, and he became the PA to the up and coming TV demon, and his growing empire. It wasn't the glamour and pizazz of the Roaring Twenties, but it was... something. Sort of. It might have been better had he been one of the people on the screen rather than a glorified receptionist. He had been someone! Now he was running messages between sets, and helping to coordinate meetings under the brand of someone else.

He wasn't very good at his job, but he was, more or less, better than no one, and that was the state of affairs for several decades. He was subpar, but as Vogitek grew and grew, there was never enough time or people looking for the position to replace him, easier for Vox to pick up the slack where he let the balls drop.

And then came the early 1980s. Jeremy had begun to make his peace with his position's less than glamorous nature, aware that there wasn't much by way of alternative. It made him cocky, or at least as much of an idiot motivated mostly by luck, and being in the right place at the right time as he had always been.

He had avoided Alastor's carnage in 1933, but didn't again fifty years on, and well, so ended Jeremy Alton's career, as food for the radio demon. In the end, he got to be the star... if you count being one of Alastor's radio 'guests' that.

Vox knew almost as soon as it happened, because there are three main ways to break a soul-contract: choice, death, and having it severed in other means. Alastor eating Jeremy counted.

Vox's annoyance with Alastor about that has always been that he ate his PA! He knew he needed a new PA, but it was busy and he didn't want to hire and train someone new with the risk they could be incompetent. But a few months later Hellaina fell, and it all became a moot concern.

Imp and Skizz pod, ep 95: Etho!

Wanted to doodle real quick while listening :3c

[ciderjacks]

despite Laios low self esteem making him think that if he’d been eaten, Chilchuck and Marcille wouldn’t have helped Falin,

theres a small part of me that thinks the reason Chilchuck stayed with the party and went back in the dungeon in the first place was because he didn’t want to leave Laios alone. That Laios was moreso the reason he stayed.

I see a lot of people upset about William Kaplan being dead and no one mourning him cus Billy stole his body and I just don't see it that way. The kid in Wanda Vision is Billy Maximoff, The teenager at the Bar Mitzvah is William Kaplan, the Teen that got taken to the hospital after the wreck is neither and both Billy Maximoff and William Kaplan. That Teen went home with the abilities of Billy Maximoff, to the home of William Kaplan, with memories of neither and lived there for three years. He cares about Rebecca and Jeff, he lied to the to protect them from pain, they are his parents. He wants to find Tommy, he has magical powers, he wants to know who he is. All of these things are true. I wouldn't say William Kaplan is dead he just doesn't remember, like Agatha wasn't dead when he was Agnes, she just didn't remember.

He's even holding Yuu in his arms when they wake up... which gave me a truly evil idea he's such a sweetheart by the sounds of the event so far I will be so sad when we forget everything upon leaving the book. The other NRC guys are just jealous he has the confidence and energy to be a fun flirt because they're too used to Rook pretending to be french to appreciate Skully's swagger lol

Kaka compilation

Because everyone is sleeping on him. Witness his greatness!! First two Kaka colored icons were colored by me, lineart by Ryoko Kui though!

Kaka & Kiki are kinda like Laios & Falin… Kaka being stoic and giving repressed energy like early Laios, Kiki being cryptic and always smiling and kinda soft-looking. Autism siblings 2, ostracized and othered as kids and have a deep bond due to sticking together through it all, though unlike with Laios their parents are very loving so Kaka developed family as a big value more than Laios (bc asides for Falin Laios doesn’t care much about it).

In the gnome festival comic you can see Kaka is more emotive than he seems! Full with a :3 face, and he’s the one crying at the end. He’s insecure about his legs and being tall… It really got to him. Conceal don’t feel. In the gnome festival comic you also see him sensing others’ gaze on him and that something is off unlike Kiki, again Laios-like in the way that judgement from others gets to him more than her.

it’s a horror tragedy. people are mean and uncharitable and impatient with him and don’t give him the benefit of the doubt because he is the protagonist of a horror tragedy. u are supposed to think it is tragic. dare i say u are supposed to be horrified.

Imagine for a moment that reincarnation is real... and now imagine senior, gray muzzle Vasco rescuing a sickly albino horse who seems very frightened and uncomfortable with the concept of being a horse. Vasco is too old and frail to ride anymore, as you've mentioned in the past if i remember correctly, but he takes this horse in.

No one at the stable can even make eye contact with this pale steed without its ears pinning back and its eyes threatening to bulge out of its head. However, Vasco visits every day he is physically able to, so he can gently comb its mane and tail and handfeed it oats and hay, since it refuses to eat otherwise.

Vasco doesn't give the horse a name, but in a voice soft enough for the two of them to hear, he calls it various old pet names only he should know. He swears the horse's eyes light up at his words despite not fully believing the possibility.

Regardless, they comfort each other.
