martin/elias is an absolutely hilarious ship if you ignore the angst potential because like. they would outwardly look like a genuinely loving relationship but they're playing 4d chess mentally the whole time. martin's doing his whole innocent and caring sweetheart act to manipulate jonah. jonah's doing his whole boring and non-threatening manager act to manipulate martin. it's like a fake dating trope but both of them think they're fooling the other into thinking it's real

That viral post that's going around about how people who write "book quality" mlm fic are too "normal" to publish and have real jobs so only "weird" people publish their "shitty" fanfic is so completely out of touch with reality and I am giving a massive side eye to everyone reblogging it.
Not only is it completely, easily verifiably untrue (you cannot enter any professional writing space without tripping over a dozen grizzled scifi writers who got their start by filing off the serial numbers and publishing their Star Trek fanfic even going back decades ago??? it's a whole thing?? plus how can you look at the mlm category on Amazon right now and say with a straight face that people aren't publishing shitty Spirk and Stucky fanfic??? Oh, honey...) it's also the perfect example of this kind of sneering elitism that true artists would never sully themselves by seeking profit, they do it only for the purity of the thing that always somehow leads back to, "no one should be paid to make art, actually."
The only reason you're seeing more published fanfic right now has nothing to do with the idealistic purity of your hypothetical government employee written smut of the past vs the debased scribbles of those awful straights of today and everything to do with the fact that a) self-publishing has created a voracious readership that wants a ton of content so it's become a viable, flexible income stream for many, especially disabled people b) anyone can publish now with self-publishing tools so there are less gatekeepers and c) lockdown got a lot of people into fandom and therefore writing who never tried it before.
And if you really think there's no "shitty" published mlm and no "book-quality" m/f writing out there that started as fanfic, then you are clearly not a reader so why are you even talking about this?

my favorite type of ship is 100% the ones where they have unending love and devotion and trust for each other. would do anything for the other. would do whatever the other said without question because they know that whatever it is, their partner knows what they are doing and they would trust them with their life. they could move mountains with their love. they would kill for their love. they would do anything for their love. everyone in the room can see that they are connected on the deepest level and will never be separated. nothing can break them apart. they are always on the same level, they know every thought that goes through their lovers head. when they are in a room together they control everything that happens. when they are apart they would tear up the earth to find each other. they would kill god for their love and give gods throne to their love. that kind of love is the best shit

Before an after.
How do you create one of the worse sequels I have ever seen? Welp, Love Never Dies is probably the perfect example. I could rant for hours about that.
I think my relationship with it is the purest form of a love-hate relationship, as it's so bad it's almost funny. If anyone wants to know, shoot me an ask, and I will explain whyyyyyyy
*takes breath*
Anyway, I drew Nightmare in the Red Death Outfit from the Masquerade scene, and ohhhhhh, I love ittttt. Yet another outfit that the movie didn't do justice, seeing it on stage was fantastic!! And it's actually a reference to another book called "The Masquerade of the Red Death" and it is essentially a huge FU to everyone at the party.
I'm gonna say it againnn anyone who's a fan of the movie should listen to the 25th anniversary sound track, my poor gf has had to listen to me rambling about it lol.
Original cross jakei95
Original Dream and Nightmare by jokublog
Crossover is by me
And @zu-is-here you asked me to tag you, here you go!

btw if you were wondering. because tori is aspec / low libido / not usually into men (TAKE YOUR PIC), this is why her being mildly horny for minato one (1) time drives her insane. she has no idea what to do with these feelings. maybe she should kill him
also i have a scene the next night after they hook up that first time were he's like "sooo again? :)" and tori is just like "nah"
minato: (has never been more confused in his life)
minato: but i'm hot and so good at giving head???

Why have we agreed that Harrow is into Ianthe? Is this just because half (more like 75%) of the fandom is thrusting after Ianthe?
My interpretation is that Harrow definitely finds her aesthetically beautiful (because she looks half dead and that's Harrow's type), but she does so "not completely willingly" and she is uncomfortable in her company and with her advances (now admittedly part of this is grief and repression but still). She also doesn't trust her or enjoy being around her, she just kinda... Doesn't have a choice.
Like, as someone who is demi, (which imo so is Harrow), I understand objectively what's supposed to be attractive to Ianthe but I find her personality far too repulsive to actually be attracted to her (not that I would say I'm attracted to any other tlt character, but hypothetically.) ((sorry ianthe stans she's the wrong kind of bad gay to me.))
And i think Harrow would be far too aware that Ianthe is a manipulative bitch to develop anything for her beyond an aesthetic appreciation at best and unhealthy dependency at worst.

Imagine your yandere F/O...
💚 Giving you plushies with hidden cameras or microphones in them. They know exactly what to get you, since they've been playing close attention to your tastes. Your favorite animal, with your favorite colors, it sits right on your nightstand, where your F/O can watch and/or hear you clear as day!
🍓 Tracking your location whenever you're away from one another. Maybe they snuck a tag into your backpack, or maybe they managed to add a secret app to your phone, but either way they'll be keeping an eye on your every move. They'll always make sure to look out for your safety, especially when you're by yourself!
💚 Silently ruining the lives of any people who cross you. To your F/O, rudeness and cruelty are simply unacceptable and must be dealt with right away. Maybe they'll end up expelled from their college, maybe they'll get fired, maybe they'll "slip" while walking down the stairs... There's infinite possibilities, but rest assured, your F/O is more than happy to take the trash out for you!
🍓 Taking the time to learn all about your interests. They pay attention to everything you say and they'll make sure to look into it so you'll have plenty of things to talk about when the time comes! They have your favorite song memorized, they know many quites from your favorite movies and shows, and they even know what your favorite fanfics are!
💚 Keeping notes about your routine, information and behaviors. Your allergies, phobias, all your favorite things, everything you hate, any medication you need to take, they have it all written down and memorized. Your F/O loves every single detail about you and they want to make sure they'll be able to care for you correctly!
🍓 Finding ways to insert themselves into your routine. Maybe they'll get a job on your favorite restaurant or store, sometimes they'll sit beside you on the bus or train, maybe they'll bump into you on the street and help you pick up anything you might have dropped... Your F/O is very flexible, especially when it comes to getting your attention!
💚 They'll always find a way to be closer to you, whether you know it or not. Your F/O's love for you is unconditional and limitless, they'll always be right by your side, through thick and thin, ready to smother you in their adoration and obsession!
