When he hallucinates his dead ex-boyfriend (who he killed) (who’s not actually dead) constantly for years on end, and the hallucination keeps making fun of his failures, but they also have genuine, heartfelt conversations about their fucked-up relationship and how they still love each other

[sintiendoelastre]

I think they're neat

Bonus points if one of them gets possessed

Me when a V.E. Schwab character exists: Now that's a character. That's a CHARACTER. THAT'S A CHARACTER.

Listen, you can’t be partners in crime and also be just “Best Friends”cause there is nothing more gay than planning murder

[cherrycha0s]

guys did anybody read v. e. schwab's newsletter

what do you mean she's watching hannibal for victorious research purposes???

[bvrtysbvtches]

the “best friends who had plans of changing the world together but then one of them betrayed the other and now they’re on opposite sides and the one who betrayed the other is now morally grey and kills people but they still can’t bring themselves to kill the other because deep down they’re still in love with them” trope>>>>

I miss them a lot, listening to “we’ll never change” and “shadow in the sun” reminds me of Victor and Eli every time. My Roman Empire I fear, I think about them too much.

[monsoonrays]

Ran to draw them as soon as V.E.Schwab posted that story.

Bonus because Eli deserves to be a silly guy.

[i-needserotonin]

The problem with Eli and Victor's relationship is that they are best friends, ex-best friends, rivals, nemesis , mirrors, narrarive foils, a weird college situationship that neither of them can get over. They haven't seen each other for years and they still think about each other's minds. They can't live with it. They fall into madness when the other is dead. They can't live with the thought of the other being dead as if a part of them was ripped away and burned alive. They are obsessed with the idea they have of the other. They were the only people who completely understood each other in this world and it scared them. They haunt each other even though they are alive in the same room. They could never separate themselves from the idea of ​​what could have been. They are already dead in the same fucking grave.

Don’t mind me, I’m just fucking screaming about the parallels between Loustat and Evervale

[evervalence]

there's just something about characters hallucinating their dead love interests who they had a part in killing and now haunt them

[parched-chaos]

Losers

[magnoliaribs]

the funniest part of Vicious is when Eli isn’t giving Victor enough attention so he decides to electrocute himself
