I wonder if when vox sleeps his dreams play across his face?

You mean like this?

my first actual contribution. hello mouthwashers

(repost since this got deleted) Until we actually find out more about their background and how they met, I'm going to operate under the assumption that Alastor just sort of found a newly-fallen Vox on a street corner one day and scooped him up and took him home like a stray cat because both the angst and the humor potential is absolutely peak.

They eventually fell out because Vox felt like Alastor always viewed him as more of an entertaining pet than a friend (and he wasn't totally wrong) and Alastor would rather drive away one of his closest friends than express his feelings for another person in a healthy way.

whoa whoa whoa, are you enjoying yourself right now? rookie mistake. you're supposed to be afraid and angry... yeah no all the time. how else will you prove you care about all the problems?

[What am I without you?]

During the time Alastor has been missing, Vox started to changed his mannerisms, habbits, outfit and even the way he smiles.

Little by little, without him realizing, Vox has taken on the shape of Alastor in his heart. Maybe it's the only way he can ever be close to him.

I love exploring how dependant Vox is of Alastor. No matter how advanced the future could be, it always needs the past as a reminder of how far it has come.

is he wrong though

You won't be able to convince me Vox isn't introverted/socially anxious in some way. We don't see him leave Vee tower once during S1, he only talks to the paparazzi with a plan to control the narrative and then mind controls them into accepting it, and his preferred medium is something he can both control entirely and is usually scripted, meaning he knows exactly what topics will be discussed or what anyone else will be doing so he can prepare a reaponse in advance (Vox2Nite).

Plus, he has the "if all else fails hypnotize them" backdoor cheat to his powers.

There's a reason that, as soon as he went against a foe who wasn't following his very clear pre-prepared script and who he couldn't see to hypnotize into letting him control the narrative, he immediately fell apart.

Alastor and him are foils because Vox is very flashy and in your face, but he's using it to hide that he needs tight control over everything or else he'll fall apart. Alastor, however, relies on his personality being the draw, and he's excellent at rolling with the verbal punches.

Vox is an outgoing anxious introvert, and Alastor is a more subtle confident extrovert, and both of their mediums reflect this. Vox needs to distract you so you don't notice anything even slightly amiss, and Alastor needs to entertain you so you don't get bored without something to distract you.
