#What Manner of Man

[stjohnstarling]

Sex is a lot like transubstantiation when you think about it.

[warthogreporter]

Confession: Some of the recent Dracula and What Manner of Man comparison posts have been due to working on a newsletter post about how they relate. which is now out.

do you think catholic priests are irresistible to vampires? virgins, covered in crucifixes (inherent allure of the forbidden,) access to their throats limited by those sexy little collars, etc.

it was a huge problem back in the day that you had to be constantly vigilant about getting sent on fake business trips that are actually an elaborate excuse to lock you in a vampire castle

Self indulgent horny concept: oh no the sexy- scary vampire lord has the both of us (priests) tied together and is *gasp* forcing us to make out for his entertainment-- (i am forcibly yanked off stage)

I don’t know why this is how I pictured Lord Vane from WMOM????

Me at 9am: the internet has stolen my ability to focus. I can only do my job in half hour bursts.

Me at 5pm: *spends 6 hours straight drawing a ruined cave harbour from a gay priest x demon novel, and forgets to eat*

[character by @stjohnstarling. Also apologies for tagging you in so many of my posts good sir. In my defense I have a devastating hyperfixation on WMOM and the gay little priest]

URGENT MESSAGE: I'm on my knees begging you guys to SIGN UP FOR WHAT MANNER OF MAN before it starts on friday!!! 🙇🙇🙇

look me in the eyes! I'm grasping you urgently by the lapels! it's like if Bram Stoker and Oscar Wilde were taking notes from my ao3 bookmarks. it has all the authentically victorian vibes I've never found in queer historical fiction and all the hot gay sex they couldn't put in the real stuff. I wish I could eat it!!

IT HAS:

erotic vampirism

hot priest

catholic guilt

celtic paganism-flavored fantasy vibes

CATHOLIC GUILT

lesbian swashbuckling

did I mention the guilt????

please!! you have to help me! I have a fatal disease and the only cure is more people talking about WHAT MANNER OF MAN ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Bad things are on the horizon regarding pornography laws in the US, which will affect every part of the internet that you and I use, and we need to be ready. We should go forward assuming that any art which is sufficiently queer and subversive may be classified as pornography.

Continue to create, share, and support queer and subversive art. Resist all pressure to voluntarily self-censor. Do not obey in advance.

[orgyofthedamned]

on this day i would like to wish victor a very hearty and congratulatory

[beastlyartblog]

wwyd if you found him like this? 🤔

POV: you’re being flirted with by a beautiful sailor who calls you “blind as a bat” and “just about the biggest mark I’ve ever seen,” but also “forbidden fruit” and says you have “an arse [he’d] gladly break one or two of the commandments for”
