That article below is why Louis’s scales in Part of Your World are golden bronze btw because he’s in his element in the ocean. Also why his eyes start as golden bronze as well but go green as the transformation completes because it parallels how there’s still that element of distress and betrayal about it all (on a narrative/metaphorical level! the colour isn’t technically connected within in the world to Lestat’s betrayal and Louis’s grief, it’s just a piece of imagery that I thought worked well + imitating how the sea eats away at everything, it’s also oxidising Louis’s eyes until he belongs to it- think also that quote that Louis thinks about bearing the form of the thing (the sea) eating at you as if it wouldn’t cannibalise itself and he’s partially wrong because the sea does stop eating him once he capitulates to it. There’s that ongoing image about Louis letting the sea draw out everything that doesn’t serve him, letting the sea eat it/have it/take it away and in going to the sea he gets it all back, he gets to be that version of himself, everything he thought the sea had eaten, and I’ve gotten off topic, anyway- that article? Background to how I chose the scale colour and why I eventually went with the bronze to green eyes option).

thinking about Jonathan "I dont want to become a mystery" Sims who's only legacy is a disembodied voice enacting the one thing that brought forth their inhumanity, and a title thrust upon them that doesn't care for the person it has marked and maligned in favour of voyeuristic hubris.

My controversial opinion about Hob Gadling is that I believe he’s absolutely the sort of guy that “puts things behind him”, and tries to wash his hands clean of the things he feels icky about. This is implied pretty well in the show, with him blithely moving from soldiering and robbery to printing, from slaving to… whatever it was he was doing in the 19th century instead. That being said, this is not at all the same as actively trying to atone, or even making a concerted effort to be a better person, and I really wish fandom could tell the difference!

Our friends have all but left us. They departed many years ago.

Alt versions under the cut!

the thing about Jason. Is that even if he’d survived Ethiopia. Even if he’d never even gone to Ethiopia. He would’ve stayed himself - in the sense that the disagreement between Batman and Red Hood began long before Ethiopia. I think the thing about Jason is that the death, the revival, none of it mattered much; that he was a sweet kid, that he was an angry kid, all of that didn’t matter because something in Jason directly opposes something else in Bruce. It’s easy to pin point Jason’s death as the cause of why “everything went wrong” between them, but that’s not really the truth.

More of my interpretation of Sun and Moon from @anangelcalledinquisitor's fic A Love Most Monstrous. SCP Daycare Attendants! Go check out their fic. You can find some more of my doodles of Sun here.

I've barely drawn the DCA before, but this was very fun :)

Enjoy!

Honestly Jonathan/Mina/Clarimonde could be juicy af. Given that these two radiate exactly the extreme idea of what she craves, and then some. The Harkers are potentially the type that will share on special occasions. And she's nothing like a Dracula type vampire to "infect" them any more than Dracula already has even if she sips a drop. And Mina deserves having a good time with a lady that made her head turn

Mina: Would rather destroy herself immediately than risk imperiling the one she loves.

Jonathan: Prepared to kill, perish, or be damned for the one he loves.

Clarimonde, sweating, white-knuckling her coffin lid: "I think I hauve consumption"

LMAO YELLING!!! this is from diana wynne jones to her editor—

Dear Miriam, I have been on the phone to Terry Pratchett who sent me a rough draft of a story which is going to be very good, but he is very anxious to know at what stage in the process he actually gets the money.

A future only Seo Doyoung can fantasises about

i'm sorry but this is sending me into the goddamn stratosphere, if you send people to physically attack my mom, torture my sister, cut my six year old son's head off, threaten to murder my toddler, and then also threaten to rape my six year old daughter, i would be very happy and jovial in declaring war on your psycho ass for pulling that shit on people who literally didn't do a thing to you.

consequently, if i sent people to physically attack someone who never did me any harm, torture my sister who never did me any harm, cut my six year old nephew who never did me any harm's head off, threaten to murder my toddler nephew who never did me any harm, and also threaten to rape my six year old niece who never did me any harm, i would be very full of regret and sorrow for what i've done, because those are bad things that i did.

I can’t stop thinking about how the darkling is a character that has existed in a survival mindset for literally hundreds of years. like I cannot even begin to fathom what that kind of thing does to someone’s brain

assorted quotes from the introduction of Monstrous Children and Childish Monsters: Essays on Cinema’s Holy Terrors

i do feel that Max would be so incredibly horrified if she knew how young Alex and Daniel were when they got their powers, like she discovered her rewind as a legal adult if nothing else and it still devolved into a living nightmare so fast, I think it would devastate her to learn there were people out there who had to deal with the same thing at an even younger and more vulnerable age.
