15.  Share a random headcanon about your muse!

Ya  boy’s  been  having  some  really  intense  ,  vivid  nightmares  about  murder  and  cannibalism  ever  since  he  turned  .  He’s  Darwinism  at  its  finest  ,  can’t  really  reconcile  the  idea  that  he’s  now  something  entirely  different  from  a  human  being  ,  that  there’s  been  this  massive  physiological  shift  in  how  his  body  works  ,  and  that  drinking  human   blood  is  just  one  of  those  things  he  has  to  do  to  survive  now  in  the  same  capacity  that  eating  his  5  a  day  as  human  was  .  So  it  all  subconsciously  amalgamates  and  more  often  than  not  ,  he  ends  up  having   these  particularly  macabre  dreams  ,  where  he’ll  usually  have  the  full  vivid  dream  experience  complete  with  tactile  sensations  of  breaking  bones  in  his  hands  or  having  blood  drip  down  his  chin  ,  and  then  upon  waking  up  he  usually  struggles  to  separate  these  from  reality  !

17.  What is something about your muse’s background story that you’ve always wanted to have a thread about?

Honestly  ?  I  don’t  think  there’s  anything  in  particular .  Although , I  like  to  make  him  suffer  ,  and  he  certainly  had  a  lot  more  in  the  way  of  misery  and  psychological  trauma  floating  about  around  the  time  he  first  turned  .  Which  I  guess  works  well  with  supernatural  muses  because  it’s  a  fun  introduction  into  how  ass  deep  in  denial  he  is  !

Gillian Flynn Challenge: Favourite book or short story

I’ve always been partial to the image of liquor as lubrication, a layer of protection from all the sharp thoughts in your head. Sharp objects.

My God, my God, whose performance am I watching? How many people am I? Who am I? What is this space between myself and myself?

Fernando Pessoa, from The Book of Disquiet (via luthienne)

Oh, I get too attached to space. Stars and heavenly bodies pull on me. Planet of Love in your slumber, luring my aches into hibernation until he kisses them awake again.

im like a religious art piece. grotesque, haunting, full of melodrama and guilt and unsettlingly horny.

shinikubi‌.

They say that beauty lies behind the eyes – that, no matter how abysmally ugly they are on the outside, it somehow seems to shine through their exterior by the means of their words and actions.  Yet your brain is a dark, dark place.  Then again, even if it was true, it’s not like someone this dim-witted would notice.

–– Which leads to you, so easily distracted, turning your attention to what Kazuki was saying.

“Ah, right.”  Hands fall from those cheeks like orange leaves from autumn trees.  And like a rotten plum trunk, you lean back in the sofa you’re sat on, trying to remember what you were about to say.  “Yes, uh, I was going to tell you that us being in a relationship is kinda gay…  You know, since we’re both men.  I’m not sure you knew this though ‘cause you’re kind of girly.  But yeah.. my computer told me so, so it’s gotta be true!”

     It’s  not  for  any  revelation  in  the  other  vampire’s  words  that  silence  now  falls  upon  them .  Rather  ,  there’s  a  phrase  which  comes  to  Kazuki’s  mind  ,  one  he  thought  was  dead  and  buried  in  the  memories  of  his  high  school  physics  class  .  Horror  vacui   —  nature  abhors  a  vacuum  ;  at  one  point  or  another  ,  every  empty  space  needs  to  filled  with  something ,  a  6ft  deep  hole  in  hallowed  ground  with  tip-tilted  earth  and   a  closed  casket  ,  the  confines  of  Tsu’s  skull  with  abject  nonsense . . .  

“ What  — ”  He  hesitates  .  Apt  though  that  word  alone  may  be  ,  it  is  but  the  preface  to  a  question  he  can  only  dread  the  answer  to .  His  words  aren’t  chosen  with  any  particular  care  ,  bafflement  has  seen  his  vocabulary  robbed  of  gentleness  ,  though  in  tone  he’s  vigilantly  curious  ,  more so  than  mortified .  “  What’d  you  think  it   was  before  ?  That  we  were  straight  ‘ cause  I  don’t  really  wear  jeans  ?  ”
