Demdike Stare - Past Majesty

[privateolives]

This is probably because I grew up watching 24/7 animal planet, but what finally made the allo/aplatonic thing click for me were the nature's of big cats.

Lions are powerful, regal creatures who are uniquely adapted to pack life. They need these connections to live a healthy life; A lonely lion is a miserable creature indeed.

Jaguars are solitary, beautiful creatures who live happily solitary. They prowl their lush world with self-sufficient majesty. A jaguar is not lonely without a pack. In fact, forcing jaguars to share space with others they do not enjoy is just as damaging as forcing a lion to live alone.

A lion may choose to head out on it's own for the most part, but in the end must return to the pack to thrive. A jaguar can choose to trust and enjoy the company of others, but they never feel the need to form a pack.

Is a jaguar selfish for this? A psychopath, a narcissist or any other such horrid assumptions? Is it a less moral creature than a lion, who seeks others like it to thrive?

Is a lion pathetic, or needy, or selfish for wanting community? For requiring contact with others like they require water? For their inherent need to string complicated webs of relationships that may seem silly or dramatic to others?

Of course not. These are ridiculous questions to even ask.

They are simply lions and jaguars.

In fact, is a jaguar that chooses to spend time with you not as magical as a lion's love? For a creature that needs no bond to thrive to still enjoy your presence enough to share it a time? Is a lion who can prowl the night alone not impressive in its strength and resilience? Is it not awe-inspiring in its ability to conquer a life it was never wired for and reign still?

Are they not both beautiful and awe-inspiring in their own ways, without being wrong?

Alloplatonics. Aplatonics. Are we not both special and beautiful in both our bonds and self-confident happiness equal, in each our ways? Is there not unique beauty in lifelong bonded packs and magical encounters that need no perpetuity to carry life forward?

Are we not but lions and jaguars? Neither wrong, neither selfish, but just different and beautiful creatures in each our ways?

That's how I've come to see it, anyway.

All is lost in this war

And all we can do is to wail and weep to the saddest song

Two Kissmust Past Ghosties posing in front of shelves. One is not like the other.

(One is His Most IMPerial Majesty, Ruler of ALL the Things, Master of Disguise. One is not. Can you tell which one is which?)

All the stars and galaxies address me as your majesty…

When Wanderlust stepped out of the portal with his friends behind him, his eyes were instantly drawn to the man in the scarlet-colored suit.

This wasn't the first time they had met.

happy jd24 launch day! if you’re looking for some jacklust content containing (somewhat) enemies to friends to lovers, then you should read the first chapter of my new fic, “Address Me, Your Majesty,” which you can read here! as of now, it will be updating every tuesday and friday. :)

Characters like Tang Xiao and Wei Ying are so relatable to me. Partially because their reactions to people saying weird things feel like reactions I would have, but also because I once promised not to make fun of my friend for at least an hour, only to fail fifteen seconds later because the filter between what I think and what I say is broken and I forgot that I’d made the promise in the first place.

Tonight's writing ambience (on constant repeat)

Ghost's eyes always did remind Edeline of the earth and sea when she first saw them. Yet there's his smile--the humor and mirth he brings along with him in almost each of their meetings that she finds herself loving, too.

She supposed the red that occassionally dusted his cheeks was rather endearing as well, but that would be best left a secret, wouldn't it?

WELL DAMN EDDY, GET HIS ASS--

You feel many things when your thoughts dwell on your lady-in-courting, the ephemeral beauty and resolute heart of Sacara. True, you cannot hide your other aspects of attraction to her, not to yourself, but mere lust would not be able to describe how you truly feel for her in the slightest... even if the passion she shows in her rare moments of anger, in her performance and song, when she opens her heart to speak on what matters most to her, does things to you all the same.

Is it any wonder you, once you started to realize her feelings matched your own for some wondrous, inexplicable reason, latched onto the chance and haven't looked back? ...Granted, something nags at you that you are missing something important, but you are confident it will fall into place soon enough - your luck is typically that good - or rather, bad...

"A fitting match, all things considered. A true Renaissance Woman; a performer, guardian, and heir to a lineage as long and storied as any other... and yet, she is truly something unique, doing her best to be herself on her own terms. Your eyes and heart are big enough for so many, yet time and time again you are drawn to hers... I approve."

"Have you Seen her fight, yet? You have seen her artistry, have you seen her passion? You do not truly know the weight of her character until you see her at her worst... do you have the heart to follow her into hell side by side? Alas, the chance may come sooner than you may realize..."
