Something I don't like about a lot of Vox takes I see is that they tend to portray Vox as someone who's unpleasant to work with and has weird ideas about what partnership means when really... he's not? He's not and he doesn't. It's just that two of the most prominent interactions we've seen him have are with Valentino(who is a fucking NIGHTMARE to work with) and Alastor(a man he has undisclosed, deeply emotional history with). But everyone seems to discount his OTHER important relationship: Velvette. Which by all accounts, is INCREDIBLY normal.

Like, yeah, their first interaction opens with her yelling at him, but that's less about Vox himself and more about Valentino. As they keep talking throughout the first bit of the episode, she starts calming down, and they just seem to genuinely get along? She has every right to look upset during Stayed Gone because Vox is being really weird and she's nOT THE ONE WHO ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED HIM TO DO THIS SHIT(staring directly at Val rn), but even then during the meeting after Stayed Gone she does actually. Participate. Unlike s o m e people. Despite being on her phone the whole time(which is literally her job-), she actually pays attention and contributes real ideas! Which tbh she didn't have to do at ALL like she did not have to put up w/ Vox's bs in RKtVS the way she did. There's also their phone call during the overlord meeting which, while I definitely think Vel was playing it up to annoy Carmilla, still sounded like a conversation between two ppl who genuinely like and respect eachother!

No matter what you think their relationship is(romantic, platonic, etc...), Vox and Velvette seem to get along REALLY well(outside of Alastor-related incidents). Like, better than either of them do with literally anybody else in the show. Vox & Val do LIKE eachother, but I find whatever the fuck is going on beneath the after the battles & masterless cattles to be DEEPLY upsetting to think about for too long(ex; any of my other posts abt their relationship), and the only other interactions we've seen either Vox or Vel have are Stayed Gone & Respectless, which are literally just song battles. Both of their only interactions outside of the Vees have been song battles. Aw fuck I'm getting off topic... BACK TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP AS COLLEAGUES- okay uh basically, I don't think they would get along this well if Vox was a terrible person to work with(note I said WORK WITH. Hate that I need to specify this but I don't think Vox is a good person overall, just a good business partner). I think Velvette is generally a good bench mark for both Vox & Valentino's relationships with other characters because she's their equal, their friend, and isn't in a weird toxic relationship with either of them. Their interactions with her provide a window into how they just generally interact with people. And based off of their interactions, Vox seems to be actually pretty decent to work with when he isn't being Actively Provoked for shits and giggles or trying to sooth the tantrum of a man child. Also when he views you as an equal and doesn't own your soul that helps too.

Edit: Hiiiiiiii just here to say that now, in the light of day, I don't really agree with everything I've said in this post? I wrote it at midnight while like half asleep so my ability to consider the fact that. We barely know anything about either Vox or Velvette at this point in time. Was kind of impaired I think. Cuz we really don't. I do stand by everything I said about their relationship to EACHOTHER, and I stand by the idea that we should take that dynamic into consideration for character analysis more often, but everything else I'm a little iffy on and I just woke up like an hour ago so my brains still a little fuzzy & I can't explain exactly WHY I'm iffy on it, but just know that I think the conclusion I drew is a bit of a leap in logic at the very least and I recognize that now lol

VELVETTE X FASHION

I love Velvette, don’t get me wrong, but for a fashionista character her outfits (& especially the second hairstyle she has in “RKTVS”) are UGLY even by early 2010’s standards, since that’s the decade I’ve heard theorized that she died during.

Her outfits are also far too boring and plain for a character like her who’s got such a big ego and who’s social media personality and appearance should inspire tons of envy. Even the last dress she picked out for her fashion show when she was magically dressing Melissa looked pretty boring on its own.

Like, I can’t say I miss the more childish aspects of her first design but I do miss the “fun” of it.

I also don’t mind some of her fashion sense still having remnants of the late 2000’s & early 2010’s since that’s when she died and it would make sense that there would be some lingering feelings of nostalgia for those trends, but I do think her style should largely be disgustingly on trend outside of that. I ALSO THINK THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE MORE CULTURALLY BLACK (BRITISH) FASHION TRENDS IMPLEMENTED INTO HER DESIGN & HER HAIRSTYLES.

ALSO SHE SHOULD BE ANIMATED WITH TEXTURED HAIR MORE OFTEN! I’m truly so tired of running into human!fanart of velvette that depicts her as a white woman; I really am. If the show would just buck the fuck up and make her coding more explicit we really wouldn’t be having this problem as predominately.

Regardless, there is no one overriding theme that Velvette’s current design has, but there also isn’t only one theme in her character type or skill set, which is why I love the prospect of her constantly changing outfits so much. Her visual identity on the show is still not dominating enough for my tastes though, which just leaves the impression that someone either couldn’t decide what Velvette should be so just threw everything at the wall or that someone didn’t care enough to be definitive.

There’s only subtle hints at her clown/jester influences in the striped things she wears, the pom-poms on the toes of her shoes, the heart motif throughout her clothes, the ruffle accents in some of her outfits, and her lip art. All of which are fairly subtle and don’t automatically clock her as “clown-like” in a way similar to how you can see the circus influences in Blitzø’s and especially Fizzarolli’s designs. It’s still her strongest design influence though.

Then the hints at her more “witchy” characteristics within her design are even more sparse. She wears a little fedora-ish hat in s1ep8 that could be considered a little witch hat, and maybe the skull earrings she always wears are supposed to be a hint at her being magical too, but that’s pretty much it. Her fangs don’t readily even factor into either of those aesthetics either so they confuse her design even more outside of being a vague reminder that she’s demonic; I will note however, that if any of her other aesthetics were more pronounced in her overall design that her fangs wouldn’t clash or cause confusion as to what exactly she’s supposed to be. Her vests are just kind of there (furred or not). There’s also the aspect of Velvette’s character that’s supposed to be “doll-like” to some extent but that’s barely showcased, and something I plain wouldn’t know if I wasn’t looking through stuff like tumblr or wiki. At most her changing outfits and hairstyles constantly could be seen as her being like a fashion doll, but that’s it.

Velvette just has a very mild visual identity, which fucking sucks and, unless you’re already familiar with her character, picking up on the practically nonexistent (imo) characterization influences in her outfits are nearly impossible.

Another issue that gets brought up because of her lack of a distinct visual identity or design theme is that I’ve seen multiple artists and writers who form descriptors for, or make fanart of, the Vees’ “true” demonic forms end up skipping on Velvette because they can’t fully grasp what she is and so aren’t sure how exactly they want to expand upon those design and ability influences in order to make them scarier. I imagine like a scary clown or giant marionette that can turn the strings onto her audience to puppeteer them (in like a Dream Warriors “tendon string” type of way) or her being able to multiply into multiple dolls and kind of being like the nurses from Silent Hill or something (like how dolls have doll lines so you can have multiple dolls of the same character, just in different outfits), but those ideas aren’t the most creative so I can definitely see why some artists unfortunately just end up leaving Vel where she’s at.

I still like that Velvette has multiple different aspects to her character (witch: cause she uses magic/potions - or even mad scientist: since she makes potions, doll/fashion designer/model, clown/jester, influencer/personification of social media), I’d just like for them to be visually represented more clearly. And I think her constantly changing outfits is a great way to not have to settle for shoving all of her different traits into one outfit/main design too!

— NOTE ALSO THAT: As far as I know, only her jester and witch-y elements are 100% canon(?), the doll theme I’ve just heard mentioned in fandom spaces.

— EDIT (11/23/24): It has roughly been kind of confirmed, since I started writing this on March 25th of this year, that Velvette is a living doll of some sort via a picture of prints or pins (some type of official Hazbin Hotel merch or the other) of the Vees that showcased a picture of Velvette with doll joints/points of articulation. I want to note that I do love this direction if it’s true, as it allows for much more opportunity and variety in the outfits she wears, but I’m just not entirely sure of its truthfulness as of right now.

I have also been collecting so many outfit references for both outfits I think Vel should wear herself and what I think her runway designs would look like, and just— if I could draw, I would be. Velvette is such a versatile muse, I can’t get over her, and I hope the show pinpoints her visual identity more succinctly next season (fingers crossed, there’s still time). Her color scheme is very clear though, so that’s something. Also, I plan on making a more in-depth post about her canonical sense of fashion that I can gleam from season one later so…yeah.

#1yrago Print of "lost" britcom discovered in Nigerian basement and restored with X-rays and laser-cutters

In the early days of TV, it was routine to tape over the recording medium after the initial air-date, which means that no video record exists of many of the pioneering moments in television.

One way that these early "lost" shows have been recovered is through transfers from old film stock -- the BBC used to distribute its shows by pointing film cameras at TVs and then sending film prints around the world to licensees. But film stock is incredibly volatile, and the old stock that is recovered is often "diseased" -- rotting into slime, too stuck together to unspool.

BBC R&D has published the first two parts of a three part series on the restoration of the only known copy of the first season of Morecambe and Wise on the BBC, discovered in Nigeria, where broadcaster RKTV had failed to comply with their licensing terms from the BBC, which had required them to destroy their prints after airing them.

These illegally retained prints were not in good shape, stored in a vault described as a "hot, poorly ventilated outbuilding in a small semi-rural settlement called Jos." The film was suffering from "tri-acetate film base degradation." It was so bad that the BFI wouldn't admit it into their vault, as it was emitting so much acidic vapour that it posed a danger to other film.

After spending a year in the home fridge of BBC Birminham producer Paul Vanezis (who refused to let his colleagues throw it a way), the film came to BBC R&D, who enlisted experts from Queen Mary University in London who specialised in X-ray Microtomography, a technique used to read water-damaged documents by producing 3D models of them.

But the film was not immediately amenable to traditional X-ray Microtomography techniques, as the large, tight rolls wouldn't fit in existing devices. So they tried an experiment, slicing the film into manageable chunks using laser-cutters, subjecting them to X-ray Microtomography, and then reassembling the slices with software.

There's still one more post to go, in which the researchers will reveal the outcomes -- but it seems likely something great will come of it (it would be weird to do a splashy, public-focused three part series about a failure).

If this kind of thing interests you, you should check out the amazing story of The Live Wire, a restored wire recording of the only surviving live performance of Woody Guthrie, which won a Grammy for technical accomplishment (and is an amazing album besides).
