beautiful like to reblog ratio on this
That's because people are reblogging it every time they see it. Like I'm doing right now lmao
and make sure your comments are kind!!! “I love this so much!” and “this is amazing! I’m so excited for what happens next” are more likely to get your favorite fics updated than “when will we get the next chapter?”
elizabeth lavenza:
stood up in front of a corrupt court that condemned her innocent best friend and called them cowards while also defending that friend's innocence, even knowing and saying that it would be considered 'indecent' (volume 1, chapter 7)
goes on an entire rant about how unjust the death penalty is; one could say this is just the author's own beliefs being reflected in her work, which is true! but also doesn't negate that elizabeth was the character chosen to convey this opinion (volume 1, chapter 7)
is described to continuously self sacrifice for the sake of others without complaint, but also shows some resentment for this role she plays when she laments being unable to join victor across europe (volume 1, chapter 2 and volume 3, chapter 1)
is an artist and a writer (volume 1, chapter 1)
is emotional, imaginative, lively, and active (volume 1, chapter 1)
her passive aggressive tone in her letter to victor about justine and how he probably doesnt remember her, the girl who lived with them for five whole years (volume 1, chapter 5)
after justine's wrongful conviction and execution she becomes much more pessimistic and laments about the unfairness of the world and that "men appear to [her] as monsters thirsting for each others blood" (volume 2, chapter 1)
yet because the 1831 revision of the novel removed or changed so much of this people -- movie writers, musical writers, fans, etc! -- act like she is and always has been a nothing character, instead of thinking critically about why mary shelley would revise her novel with her very radical for the time she lived in opinions during a time of financial stress.

how do i say this. if you're a smut writer and you're looking to improve your smut writing you kind of have to read horror books if you intend to improve through reading traditional writing. mainstream 'spicy' romances do not come close to the sheer visceral graphic depiction in horror. like these things are genuinely connected. i cant explain but take my word for it. im saying this as a huge scaredy cat. but you have to trust me
there is really no other genre that so properly covers those big feelings and goes into such detail about the physical sensations like horror does. the blood and guts or the hollowness. it's all parallel to skin and fullness. like do you see what i mean
bless OP for putting into words what i've been trying to articulate. when my brain is in the Writing Place, i end up writing a lot of smut and... horror-adjacent stuff? psychological horror? i read and write darkfic, is what i'm getting at, and i do consider what i look for and what i make for myself to be in that genre. i don't tend to go in for particularly bloody or gory works just because too much of that is my squick, but mild body horror and monsters and psychological stuff gets my attention, especially when you get into themes of perception of reality, autonomy, social engineering, that sort of thing.
having read/written smut and horror separately and together, they're sister genres. the umph that you get from psychological or body horror is made of the same building blocks as effective, filthy smut. my sex scenes have improved as i've written darker stories.
both subjects are about intimacy, what you can do with it, what people are like without it or when it's withheld from them, either between characters or a character's intimacy with themselves. it's the same reason why, say, a lot of scenes of violence in non-horror properties end up feeling sexy or why villain shipping is so so popular.
also, it can't be left unsaid... the physical act of sex is gross (positive, in this context, all of this is positive). it's squishy, awkward, and strange. horror doesn't tend to shy away from the inherent awkward squishiness of the body or the sensitivity and strangeness of the mind and has made a whole genre out of effectively leveraging them instead. writing good porn is the same, just with some of the dials adjusted. sex is already kind of a gross weird thing to be doing, that's kind of part of the point. if you're in the market for writing explicit smut, leaning into that is the best way to make it filthier and more effective.
i love john brosio paintings bc theyll be an absolute gut punch that forces you to consider your own morality like two earthlings and they will also be Big Crab
“two earthlings”, an absolutely devastating oil painting that i think about every single day

at some point in your life you will be boiling fruit, water, sugar, and lemon juice in a pot to make a syrup or jam. the instructions will tell you to simmer for a certain amt of time. your timer will go off and you will look at the pot and go, "hm, this doesn't look thick enough. maybe i'll let it go for another 10 minutes." this is the devil speaking. it's only so liquid right now because it is at boiling point. it will thicken when it cools down. learn from the follies of my youth and do not let this happen to you
at some point in your life you will be making a sauce or a stew in which you need to add cornstarch to thicken it. and you will prepare a slurry of starch in cold water and think "this looks like way too little starch to thicken this amount of liquid." this is the devil speaking. cornstarch instantly polymerizes at 95°C and if you add too much it will turn into an impossibly thick goop.
