#the horrors of love

[mindfogs]

10/10 permanently changed me as a person and a victim of love

would slay again

the notes on my last post made this inevitable. side note there are not a lot of places where christmas tree fairies and renaissance angels and barbie meet up and joining the edges was so fun

your tridentarii art gave me rather a twisted idea that i may have to try writing a fic for. basically, Ianthe lyctorizing in the middle of sex with Corona. and by "middle" i do mean that she finishes after. normally, snuff is one of my hard squicks, but like... i guess lyctorization isn't technically...

PLEASE..... IF U ACTUALLY WRITE THIS LET ME BE THE FIRST PERSON TO KNOW

oh corona would be so happy knowing what's about to happen 😳 🙈 she gets to be a part of her sister forever now <3

I will not go so far as to say Augustine was right, but I will say I definitely have friends and romantic partners I would let the sun turn to a black hole avenging. Sometimes you gotta suplex a streamer into the stoma

He may not have been right but he was SO REAL for it. I hope you die I hope we all die!!!!

THERE'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT I NEED TO KNOW

i know that realistically it's a mix of the two and that this is just unmovable object vs unstoppable force.. but. what is more.. "love" to you? what you do that you can control? or what you feel that you can't?

Birthday gift for my dear friend who loves vampires♥ . The whole thing was made in three days, I had too much fun drawing it! I created the cover drawing in the car on the way to the birthday party. So I had no time to scan it :D Well, if you enjoy reading it let me know and I will try to post more (I am making comics for my friend regularly, I am just too ashamed to translate and upload these silly things online x_x ) _____________________________________ Patreon Commissions

#anyway john/alecto is absolutely romantic TO ME it's also terrifying <3 -liesmyth

I was gonna say: Harrow/Gideon is as much horrifying as it is romantic.

Especially with the release of The Unwanted Guest, I feel like I see too much focus on the “romantic” (as in idealized and regarding any type of love) message of the series and not enough on what I personally think tazmuir’s actual thesis statement is. We forget that she is a horror author, and I think that is her entire goal. Every set of relationships we’re presented with are codependent, unhealthy, consumptive. Someone is consuming someone they love, someone is being consumed by someone they love. Even if they claim not to, even if they try to find a more “fair” way to do it (ex.: Paul), it’s still what is happening in the end. (Abigail and Magnus are the only exceptions I can think of.) Pyrrha is the only character who seems to recognize this, and she tries so hard to call it out, but no one listens because they think it’s romantic. Because every relationship is either seen as romantic or wretched, both by the characters and by the readers, even though they are all so bad. I think tazmuir is trying to make readers question this. Why do we find certain toxic relationships - like Harrow and Gideon - romantic, but others - like John and Alecto - horrifying? Why is one acceptable but not the other? Where do we draw the line? In regards to TUG, why do we jump from changing each other with love, to consuming each other in its name?

I think this will be even more clear in AtN.

i'm a big fan of tv shows where they do an episode from the POV of a side character and they're living in a completely different genre than the main character

'wah wah everywhere is falling to the right wing the whole world is doomed' literally like 6 months ago we were talking about how there was a trend in countries getting rid of their right wing governments. poland at the end of last year, france voted in a unified centre left/left alliance, even the UK finally got rid of the tories after 15 years (right wing splitting be damned, it still happened). outside of europe, bangladesh removed a dictator in like 2 seconds, india may have reelected their Evil Guy but on a DISTINCTLY reduced majority, theres been queer rights successes in thailand, with gay marriage set to be legal by 2025, and thereve been positive court cases on it in japan. and this is just stuff i vaguely remember hearing about. im sure theres more if you care to look for anything aside from more reasons to make yourself miserable

the US has a distinct effect on everyone, so this won't be fun for anyone (least of all its population. sorry guys), and there ARE a lot of people sliding into right wing extremism, but presenting this like its an unchallenged worldwide phenomenon is inaccurate, its damagingly bleak, and all it does is encourage despair and apathy. you DO have political power, and you shouldnt forget that just because of bad election results and the media's desperation to make you lose hope
