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

@PrinceMewstar I really hope you will🫶💙

[mystic @mysticallynot]

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

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@PrinceMewstar thank youu Mewsyyy🫶🫶

[mystic @mysticallynot]

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.

[「 ✨Vox–2–Nite.ᐟ✨」 @voxmaxxingg]

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.

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@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 💔

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@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!

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@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🙂‍↕️

[mystic @mysticallynot]

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💔)

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@beatlzeep ah thank you so muchhh!! I love them being mutually obsessed with each other & insane + framing romantic feelings as something nearly brutal

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@enveesion Thank you!! <3

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@voxsimps I’ll always love Alastor with a mustache, it looks so good on him💔

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@BarelyMemorable it would be such an interesting direction for them to take, I really hope that’s where it’s going

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@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💔

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@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 :)

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@th3klutz I consider my job well done🫡
I love your reactions ahaha, thank you so much for being such a cool person 🙂‍↕️🫶

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@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’

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@booitsJasper it is very gay indeed 🫡

@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

[mystic @mysticallynot]

@Alastaura And your analysis is always so ON POINT (literally inspiring even hah)
