Vox can understand Velvette just fine. They don't necessarily need to get along all the time, but they have a mutually beneficial contract that guarantees her support in the most efficient way possible, just how they both like it, short and strict and to the point. Vox does not understand Valentino. It drives him unimaginably, disgustingly insane. He knows how to handle him, make no mistake. Valentino is a never-ending powerhouse that wrangles out content from his employees like there's no tomorrow. He's proven himself to be Vox's most lucrative investment yet. He is resourceful, well-connected and most importantly predictable enough to rein in. Because he listens to you, because he needs you.
He is also, undeniably, out of his goddamn mind. Yet you've already invested too much in the corporate empire you've built together and there is no point turning back now that you have him so close to your side. It's OK however! He couldn't possibly be stupid enough to throw away the best partnership deal he's ever had just for the sake of something petty cause -oh, wait - he genuinely might just be that stupid and you never would've guessed because he's so cocksure of his bullshit that 80% of the time it ends up working in his favor anyway.
Fuck his life indeed. The kicker for this of course is that Valentino, genuinely does believe he has struck gold with Vox. Valentino is a clingy, possessive, immature, perverted, sadistic, egotistical man-child with severe rage issues and zero impulse control. No he is not aware of this at all. No he does not know why nobody is able to tolerate him and why every single person he gets close to hates his guts with every inch of their burning rotting souls. All he knows is that hell has now given him a flat faced prince in shining liquid crystal armour, riding on a cash filled horse with promises of power and luxury, who's practically handing him success on a silver platter. Doesn't mean that Val trusts him, doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy seeing him lose his shit. But at the end of the day vox has his back, and as long as Val keeps calling for him, he'll eventually turn up and make everything better. Cause hey if Vox hasn't left him yet for this long he must be doing something right. Right?

”#for those of y'all new to the tag yes these two have been technically canon for a long while, #and yes we still have no exact idea why, #I am still of the opinion that Vox clocked Val first in terms of the alliance (for whatever reason known to man), #And Val still till this day has no fuckin clue how he managed to score him and is just winging shit as he goes along, #this is until proven otherwise by canon ofc but still, #No I do not know why I am doing a character analysis of Hazbin Hotel of all things but here we are. #still sincerely curious as to where their bond came from thoughx #yknow outside of physical attraction and shared business ideals, #the only semi logical explanation I have currently is that Valentino still unapologetically thinks of himself as hot shit despite being, #yknow, #Valentino, #which makes him the antithesis of Vox's fragile ego and blatant insecurities. #(and therefor invertedly gives Vox personal gratification for being able to dominate him and control him), #The other possibility was narcissism but that theory is mostly scrapped now the more I watch his interactions with Val in ep2, #anyone willing to respond to please feel free to do so btw been thinking abt this pairing for quite a while, #I think they work very interestingly as a villain couple, #I want Valentino to light vox on fire and dance with him while they burn”
