one of the many reasons polyvees works is that vox and velvette are both so misanthropic and repressed in their own ways that valentino is like a manic pixie dream girl to them. he mentions that he enjoys talking to strangers at the club and velvette is pretending not to listen but going 'god damn... you're such a quirky free spirit i could never' on the inside. he texts vox a blurry picture of a flower that tried to bite him the morning after their first date business meeting along with a ramble about what he ate for breakfast and a misremembered shakespeare quote and vox is like 'he could fix me'
WOMEN!!!
i did not mean for the height diff to get that exaggerated but tbh this feels canon accurate anyway (vox WOULD lean at like a 45 degree angle so she can get little spooned even though she literally doesnt need to)
He’s Italian. He’s bisexual. He loves to read. He’s an Ivy League graduate. He’s a tech bro. He’s a gym rat. He’s a flirt. He gave the Unabomber 4/5 stars on Goodreads. He takes the bus. He’s got a bad back. His politics are incoherent. He’s a gamer. He’s an artist. He shot a healthcare executive
relearning how to draw these two wretched men

Bonus the ugly photo:
*through tears* ladies and gentlemen, they got him
Your parents are not "narcissists". They're typical authoritarian assholes who treat you like their property because society allows them to.
Your ex boyfriend is not a "narcissist". He's a typical misogynistic douchebag who treats women like shit because society allows him to.
Your boss is not a "narcissist". They're a typical classist dipshit who thinks workers' entire purpose in life is to generate profit because society allows them to.
And even if they happen to be a "narcissist", that's not what gave them the power to get away with abuse.
So stop blaming mental illness and start blaming society's normalization of abuse. Stop acting like someone has to have a mental illness in order to do something cruel when ordinary people have been doing atrocious things since forever.
