sacrificial lamb or cannibalism as metaphor of love ?

Oh GOD. Here we go.

I love the sacrificial lamb trope, anyone who’s ever done rp with me will tell you that I very often end up killing my OCs (whoops).

BUT

Cannibalism as a metaphor for love??? What is love if not devouring each other’s hearts and entire beings?? What is more loving than the consumption of everything your lover is??

Now hear me out

Sacrificial lamb + cannibalism as a metaphor for love + some sprinkles of religious imagery = my jam, my everything, my reason to live if you will!

Ps: I might have a Jan Stevens fic in the works about this….

[prophetofthemuse]

Maybe, like you took the reanimated rabbit from him and tore it apart, I’ll take what you reanimated and tear it—him—apart as well~

A holy martyr, a sacrificial lamb… oh how I do love the taste of lamb, the innocence and purity of such a sweet little creature~

Does he even have a heart left to beat? Or did that little detail slip your mind when you brought him back to a state that only resembles life?

Poetic, isn’t it? Didn’t he say he’d wanted to be killed by someone that loved him? Would you deny him that?

[irmimimi]

Sacrificial Lamb 🕛

Tears. Lots of tears dripped down the boy's rosy cheeks, staining his white shirt.

He whimpered, choking on his own saliva, unable to mouth a single proper word from the horror. He can't do anything else but watch the short -pitch black- creature's deranged faces and hear their ugly laughs as they drag him deeper into the forest.

Two of them painfully hold his legs up and two his arms, treating him more like a child would treat its dolls than an actual human being.

That's when you know that you're very much fucked up.

The creatures -whom most of them wore an old maid dresses- dropped him to the ground, on top of a very suspiciously shaped rock. He gasps as he hits his back hard. But that shouldn't be bothering him now.

He should be more bothered that they're tightly tying his hands with a rope, spreading his limbs apart with no way of ever breaking out.

He should be more bothered that their leader, Irmi, is following them from behind and has now reached them.

Show no mercy!

Show no mercy!

They're whispering -or at least try to, because some of them speak unknown words and make animalistic sounds- in sync as they make a perfect circle around the terrified man.

Irmi raised her hands and smiled blissfully towards her little -but rather strong- creatures, giving them the permission to light up their torches and stick them in the dirt in front of them.

Smoke filled the man's lungs causing him to cough continuously and slowly lose his consciousness to a point that he almost passes out. His head feels heavy as if he had been drinking and smoking blunts for hours straight.

Show no mercy!

Irmi looked up the clear black sky. No clouds just stars, a perfect summer night. A perfect night to perform a long bloody sacrifice to yourself.

She turned towards the creature beside her, calling it by its hypothetical name -Chiros- and asked for the time. And hypothetically, it answered back in fluent English. "11:58"

Irmi nodded playfully and petted its head, holding it close to her like a child.

She must really love her maids...

Before the man could gain back control of his mind and make the whole procedure hard for them, Irmi pulled out a knife. It was shahin Kris dagger type with painfully clear curves and was close to six inches long. The man -even though dizzy- saw it and let out an exhausted grunt.

Irmi tantalizingly sharpened the blade in front of him, spreading as much fear as possible. "11: 59" the other thing said again and everyone grew even more excited and desperate to see him die than before.

She came closer and sat on her knees, -leaning as close to him as possible- almost on top of him. Quickly, she tears the man's shirt off, leaving him bare-chested for easy access. She quickly shifted the blade, curving a sigil in the middle-to-left part of his chest's skin.

With that done, she wrapped her hands around the handle of the knife and brought it up, positioning it just above the place where the man's heart should be. If his drowned cries aren't motivating enough then the thought of his poor soul becoming your possession in a few seconds definitely is.

"12:00"

The moment the clock struck twelve, the knife was pledged into his flesh, pierced right through the heart.

The guy's scream was completely muffled by the applause, loud cheering and bells ringing by them in the middle of the night.

The man surrendered, the life faded from his eyes and the last thing he saw was the creature's clapping, happy grins and his heart getting ripped out of its original place. For a brief second, he watched his heart being out of his body, stabbed by the knife and yet still beating in agony.

🍻

That's how it always ends for the pitiful, unlucky people that she decides to sacrifice to herself. After that, all of the creatures would perform a sick shedule where they would collect the person's blood and mix it with fresh wine. Some is drunk during the ritual and some is kept. Usually they would eat parts of the body while ritualistically dancing around the sacrificed 'lamb' as a sign of excitement and satisfaction.

Good feasting.

Even if Dead plate wasn’t queerbaiting, it was DEFINITELY shipbaiting. The dialogue option about whether Rody is jealous of Vince’s possible gf, the hair drying scene, the way he stops correcting Rody about not calling him Vince… u guys r tumblr girlies, you knew damn well what you were doing LMAO. There’s nothing wrong w that lol - it makes for a fun dynamic - but don’t claim that queerbaiting never came into it pffft

My co-developer and composer who worked on the game are both men, calling us "tumblr girlies" is a bit condescending and disrespectful.

To queerbait or shipbait, it means we were taking advantage of possible queer characters and relationships as a means to appeal to queer audiences while maintaining ambiguity about the characters' sexualities. We don't believe the game was baiting anyone since again not only the sexualities of the characters aren't ambiguous as it was fully stated they were written as queer the moment they were designed way before the game was even developed, we've expressed multiple times that while the game does have themes of queerness and cannibalism the main plot and intention behind the source game was always intended to heavily focus on exploring the horror that comes from toxic and unhealthy obsessions and mindsets and how far one is willing to go for them (Rody's self-sacrificial and desperate love for Manon, Vince's selfish obsession for perfection, Rody and taste, etc). The game is about a waiter seeking out and realizing what happened to his ex-girlfriend, that's always been the main plot, Dead Plate is a game in the thriller/horror genre and there was not a single mention of the game having any possible romance in it nor the queer identities and interactions of the characters were used to promote the game in any of the official game pages or promotional material to draw in more audiences, so hearing that you're watering the game down just as some kind of shallow bait is a bit disheartening.

Sometimes characters just happen to be queer, and not all media with queer characters are strictly about romance. Their relationship is still up for audience interpretation and people can take them as whatever they like if they want to enjoy them like that as long as they aren't hurting anyone but we never meant to intentionally bait anyone into trying out the game using their queerness, and that as queer writers ourselves we've expressed time and time again how we wished people to check out the game for the overall narrative and message it has rather than for people to only focus and view the game as shipping material since we believe the game offers a lot more than that.

ptj truly created THE siblings of all time like???

one of them is a greasy depressed manic junkie, a cannibal, a trigger-happy psychopath serial killer who has committed patricide, has consistently worn sanguine biker leather and denims for almost a decade, and is the lecherous and weird and off-puttingly attractive boss of a cartel in Mexico, with quark-shattering daddy issues.

and the other one is a gentle and beautiful "gang leader" who wears old money monochrome suits and trousers, who also hates his dad, wanting nothing to do with him but cannot seem to extricate himself from being entangled with the eerie circumstances of his father's demise. he is so wretchedly honorable and empathetic and self-sacrificial while simultaneously being like. insanely manipulative. and superficially charming. his face evokes the image of golden fields of rice as vast as the eyes can see, his visage as fertile as the banks of the nile, an autumnal apple orchard. but he's also depressed and lost and disillusioned with an unhealthy obsession for an older man who got him involved with gangs in the first place.

one of them really likes red velvet cakes and fruit flavoured bubblegum while the other likes raw, red meat still pulsing with vitality.

both are so similar and so in opposition to each other. truly two parts of gapryong's whole, an intelligent evil and an arbitrary goodness. one of them is his light, the other his rot, his capacity for evil (why else would he play with women and abandon them, neglect his children, or intend to join politics?) . and you know what? these parts are not in complete exclusion of each other. we have seen jake breach moral thresholds for the one he treasures, similarly, gitae also eliminated gapryong which is an ironic justice to himself and those that suffered because of gapryong.

post getting too long so i will just end by this : i love you toxic pernicious wretched doomed by the narrative siblings. i am obsessed with you.
