it’s a slowburn with lots of tension and focus on character study, I daresay. oh, and a freak4freak one, too, of course
#MurderMedia#RadioStatic#HazbinHotel
receiving compliments that character’s asexuality (Alastor) was handled/done well in a literal smut scene, where the said character’s thoughts/emotions aren’t even described or addressed directly because it’s not their POV, is like all I ever wanted to achieve lmao
as someone on aromantic spectrum, #MurderMedia is my favorite ship I’ve ever written, because this is the definition of romance to me.
(I hc Alastor as aroace, btw)
I adore gothic approach to romance. Attraction that has roots in violence/obsession rather than tender feelings.
Yes, Vox views others as objects to be used- but he also sees himself this way. He’s a product to be sold. And his existence blurring the line between biological and mechanical reinforces this thought. Feeling like an object isn’t necessarily wrong when it’s literally true.
@Alastaura I say this as a devoted shipper… when did we stop separating canon from our self-indulgent fantasies? Would seeing my ships become canon be fun? Sure. Do I feel like they need to become canon? Nope, in fact, I don’t even see many of my fav ships as potential canon material 💔
@halfcharacter horror is literally my favorite genre of movies🙂↕️ I’m more drawn to slashers haha, but psychological horror is always a good watch, for sure. Will definitely check it out then when I get the chance!
@beatlzeep that’s so cool tho! I’m reading American Psycho rn & often catch myself thinking “this is soo Vincent Whittman” ahaha
I hope you’ll enjoy! the romance part takes a whiiillee to develop and starts quite tame and unsuspecting. But Vincent is Patrick-coded from the very start🙂↕️
I’m gonna expose myself with this, buuut, my two biggest inspirations for the way I characterize Vincent in MurderMedia:
(and, yes, I mean the AP book specifically. I’m still reading it, cuz it’s A LOT, but it genuinely inspires me💔)
@beatlzeep ah thank you so muchhh!! I love them being mutually obsessed with each other & insane + framing romantic feelings as something nearly brutal
@CallicoBadger definitelyyy, I wish there was more. I always just search ‘movies similar to …’ in hope of finding a new gem, but there’s really not enough of them out there💔
@CallicoBadger saw it (both the old and the new one actually ahaha) and loved it!! And yes, I found it very romantic💔 that only means I’ll HAVE to check out the other one u suggested :)
@CallicoBadger Ohh thank you for the recommendation! I’ll definitely check it out. I’ve been on a lookout for movies that depict romance in unconventional ways. Stuff like ‘Saltburn’ or ‘Phantom Thread’
@voxhausted that’s fair, I hope you’ll be able to make it bearable <3 I think what makes the struggle even worse is how angry u get with yourself/blame yourself for not doing the things you want/need. I suppose focusing on managing it instead of pressuring yourself to change/improve is smart
