what i need is for daniel to realize at different points that his past/present/future relationship with armand is EXACTLY like the parts of louis' and lestat's relationship he mocked the most. ie "is THIS the fucked up gothic romance?" "are WE the whiny existential queens?" he doesn't have to do this out loud but i want his relationship with armand to be so disgusting and hot and terrible that he reaches brief moments of clarity. and i'll be able to tell he's thinking it just based on the look in his eyes

hate it when ppl are like "shen jiu DID have chances at happiness!! he just didn't take them!!" bc... no he didnt? he was a character in a book who was created to be a jealous asshole, no chance at happiness he ever had was actually real because if he'd been happy he couldn't have fulfilled his role in the story

none of the characters in PIDW actually had free will, their actions were dictated by what the book's audience wanted because airplane was writing it to pay rent

of course he didn't take any chances at happiness, he was written to be a miserable bastard in order to fulfill his role as an antagonist, he couldn't be happy in that story because then he wouldn't have done what was needed to move the plot along

airplane outright states that the reason he wasn't a more complex character in PIDW was because when he tried to hint at there being more to shen jiu his readers hated it, so he stopped and just made him one dimensional

Imagine your f/o comforting you after you had a nightmare about losing them in some way or another. They hold you tightly, reassuring you that they're still here, that it was all just a bad dream. They kiss your forehead and rub your back soothingly as they promise you that there's nothing that could ever take them from you. And that even if there were, they would always find a way to come back home to you. No matter the circumstances. They'd never leave the beautiful life you share together for anything - not even death could part the two of you. Once you're calm enough, they lay down again and snuggle you against their chest, so you can hear their heartbeat, and they hold you as you drift back to sleep together.

I'm certain someone's already had these thoughts and posted them somewhere, but I recently got to thinking about how, in an alternate plane of existence, there are eldritch tentacle beings with a serious fetish for vertebrates and digits.

They're imagining the firm strength of arms, the multitude of fingers. The dexterity of a handful of phalanges, the rigidity of the bones inside the yielding squishiness of flesh, like steel rods inside sponges. The way arms and hands can squeeze.

Getting flustered as they imagine their tendrils intertwining and curling between a handful of fingers like ivy over a trellis.

The stinging stripes of scratches from hard keratinous nails as opposed to the bruising mini-vacuums of suction cups.

You know they get tattoos of dozens of overlapping, intertwining hands or long, visceral scratch marks down their tentacles.

Not to mention the fact that vertebrates can have hands and feet. Variety!
