ON A NIGHT MUCH LIKE ANY OTHER IN THE MORS OF OCTOBER, AMID THE FOG AND THE RAIN, VEDIA'S DREAMS TALK HER TO THE EDGE OF THE WATER ╱ feat. WYMON VISSER

what is a ghost?

the academic might name it an anomaly, a breach from the understood and acceptable by something not yet peer-reviewed. the novelist, prone as they are to using one word while meaning another, may say a metaphor. the catholic, guilt. the child, who is closer than they know to the very truth, may simply point to the shadow in the corner and close their eyes.

if we are to accept each varying answer as baring a measure of truth, the only through line is this: something one cannot bare to look at head on. perhaps this is why, in the end, we have no definitive photographs of our spectral visitors. it is not that they refuse to be documented, but rather our inability to turn our head and aim the camera.

so when vedia sahin-van ness rises from the soft down of her bed and emerges from behind the locked door of her ancestral home, it is not with the intention to haunt. it is, of course, without any intention at all ⸺ she is, after all, asleep. and if she had time for scheme and design, even in this state of dreaming, she certainly would have had time for shoes and a coat. as it is, as she descends the great hill that leads to town, mud caking the high arches of her soft feet to the slim round of two ankles, it is without either. without even awareness. and yet ⸺ by the time she has circumvented the boardwalk, thick mass of dark hair pulled from the ribbon that once bound it, white peignoir stuck to her body by the cold tongue of the rain, drifting through the thunder with tender calm until she stands before one who once loved her on the docks of the cove ⸺ IS THIS GIRL NOT A GHOST?

she seems to be speaking. she seems to be saying something against the rain, that voice so like a length of silk lost under the coverlet of storm. the wind whips her gown until it loses its courage, tucking between her legs, slipping off her round marble shoulders. she's reaching for something outside of our understanding, one slender wrist extended out to the monsters of the deep. her feet balanced on the edge of wood, a ballerina. a tightrope walker. a child born on the sword of damocles.

can you bare to look at her, @scpsis ?

we don’t give devils minion era Daniel enough credit bcus imagine ur boyfriend (who can kill you) has the emotional volatility of an ultra mentally ill teenager and u fight constantly and not only is this bitch prone to tantrum style throwing and breaking things when he’s angry, he can also *read your mind* and 100% is going to call u out and break down cry and scream etc over something you DIDN’T EVEN SAY OUT LOUD 😭😭 like omfg Daniel can have the most restraint in the world during an argument and his uncontrollable stream of consciousness is still going to get him in deep shit, it’s a miracle he fared as well as he did actually

it's so endearing to me how intensely morbid book daniel is. maybe armand is right in that he doesn't fully understand what he wants when he begs for vampirism and idealises it in his mind but daniel truly has a fascination with death and loves to romanticise macabre and disturbing things in general. he thinks it's beautiful when furniture is mouldering and falling apart and infested with insects. he feels at home wandering about in the damp gloomy remains of a vampire's abandoned townhouse. the idea of a lot of people dying together is soooo romantic to him, as is finally getting killed by the vampire he's fallen in love with. he thinks being a predator akin to a giant devouring bug is incredibly sexy. he calls armand taking clothes and souvenirs from a victim "skinning the kill" and the smell of human blood "perfume of the living". and he's happiest when he's got his face buried right in the neck of his cold corpse-like undead boyfriend

UNSHEDDING WINTER LAYERS AT A COFFEE SHOP, ON BREAK FROM REHEARSAL ╱ feat. AUGUST LANDRY of @ycsterdays

"i can't believe you never told me you were cornelius hackl in new york," the movements of her hand, though avid, are delicate — fingers that had been trained to drink from fine china and play with porcelain since a very young age. even in her excitement vedia lends the impression of something delicate, her voice full of a certain breathlessness, as if the very idea had reached past her ribs and stolen the air there. "oh, it must have been simply gorgeous! i can't even begin to imagine it. what was it like — will you tell me everything?"

one of my favourite things about the qsmp was its effect on philza minecraft specifically

at the start he never really went as far as some of the other players with the lgbtqsmp roleplay, laughing and telling friends to cool it when it was directed at him

by the end of it, the most homosexual things I've ever heard in my life were coming out of q!phil's mouth

INHERITANCE 🌙

[desertfangs]

Armand spent so much time trapped in a cult that broke him down and told him he was a monstrous creature who did not deserve love or compassion. And for centuries after, he struggled to connect to those he loved. But then the one (1) guy he ever makes into a vampire, Daniel, is the guy who believes in what a huge capacity vampires have for love. That they have eternity to love and be loved. It's just so beautiful.

no but charles casually dropping the "i don't care" about lando on the radio, the way he so rarely even brings him up in interviews (particularly compared to how often he talks about max) and basically only talking about lando in the context of max?! it is giving "I can't help that I'm that girl, they be talkin', I don't care Beefin' with yourself because you do not exist in my world Three things I don't play about, myself, my money, or my man Mention one of them and best believe I'm gon' be at your head"
