tws: mentions of rape, murder, general corinthianisms

plot / songs subject to change as further developments are made

The Wolf - The Delta Bombers

Corinthian’s introduction. Athens, Ohio. 1998. We see him driving through corn fields into town on Trojan, his motorcycle. 

The Shame of Life - Butthole Surfers

Flashback to the basics of Corinthian’s deal with Daniel. In exchange for guarding the Dreaming from Waking World threats, Corinthian is given 10 years to find a new life outside of being a major arcana. If he returns home without a sense of purpose, he will resign himself to being permanently unmade. We are given the impression that Corinthian’s time on Earth is spent to the fullest via sex, pinup modeling, and his pursuits as a nomad artist. 

Hooked on Love - Dead or Alive

Coping with his recent divorce and loss of his mother, Stephen finds himself in the nearest place liquor is provided. Corinthian meets Stephen for the first time in Slowdive, a goth club. The two drunkenly dance to Hooked on Love. 

Sister - She Wants Revenge

Stephen takes Corinthian back to his house and the two have sex for the first time. Corinthian leaves immediately after. 

Ship of Fools (feat. Anthony Thistlethwaite) - World Party

Introduction to Stephen’s day job as a controversial philosophy professor. Corinthian turns up unannounced to one of his lectures and invites himself over to Stephen’s house after he gets off of work.

#1 Crush - Garbage

Corinthian integrates himself into Stephen’s life by pretending to be one of his students. The two fall into a pattern of hooking up incessantly in and out of Stephen’s office. Corinthian expresses his frustration with his affection for the human by lashing out, turning their relationship into one rooted in hate sex. Stephen longs for something more.

I’ve Seen That Movie Too - Elton John

Stephen and Corinthian begin to spend time together outside of sex. Stephen opens up to Corinthian about how the death of his mother has impacted him, and Corinthian responds with his insensitive views on the value of life. Stephen leaves him behind and asks not to see him again.

Apple Blossom - The White Stripes 

Stephen decides it’s time to ‘heal’ himself by murdering the caretaker who allowed his mother to die in her retirement home. Whether or not the man is guilty does not matter. After researching to find the man has no immediate family or anyone who could serve as a likely witness, Stephen invites him over, poisons his tea, and buries him in the backyard.

Keep Your Eyes Peeled - ULTRA SUNN

Stephen returns to Slowdive to find Corinthian. Corinthian, already with other men, seemingly vanishes before Stephen can get to him. 

Deliverance - ZAND

Corinthian attempts to rape Stephen in his dreams as a way to deter him from pursuing the relationship any longer. Corinthian rips his skin to shreds, but does not take Stephen’s eyes as to avoid revealing his identity as a supernatural being. Stephen enjoys this encounter and discovers his love for sexual pain.

Blood Dirt Love Stop - The Heavy

Stephen falls back into his addiction and drinks himself to tears on his living room floor. He regrets being so foolish as to allow himself to fall in love with a man who was only using him for pleasure. 

Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) - Concrete Blonde

Corinthian resumes his travels across the U.S. in an attempt to leave the memories of Stephen behind. 

Hellfire - Barns Courtney

Not able to move on, Corinthian has a resurgence of memories from his past life in a fit of rage. The Dreaming, 1870. First Corinthian haunts the nightmares of men as a faceless cowboy on the back of his blind steed, Trojan. Corinthian begins keeping a journal of these memories.

Dog Years - Halsey

Flashback to Corinthian’s first few days on Earth. He’s hunched over a motel bathroom sink cutting the pointed tips of his ears and prying the teeth in his eyes out of his head. He discovers that his body cannot change but his pain does not dissipate. Present day. It is written in his journal that at the end of his decade on Earth, he will resign himself to being unmade permanently and follow in the footsteps of his late Lord Morpheus.

Garbage - twenty one pilots

We see Stephen playing his piano inside on a rainy day. A montage of him drifting soullessly through work and life plays before being interrupted by Corinthian knocking on his front door after dark. Stephen offers him a place to stay, clean clothes, and a hot meal. Willfully nearing the end of his life, Corinthian allows himself to ask Stephen for a relationship. 

Wolf Like Me - TV on the Radio

Corinthian discovers the dead body buried in Stephen’s backyard. In combination with knowing Stephen’s love for the supernatural, Corinthian feels safe enough to reveal his eyes. Stephen immediately recognizes him as the beautiful man from a series of past dreams who guided him to accepting his sexuality. The two make love, and for the first time in his life, Corinthian feels at home.

[srdcovka]

sometimes u comment under a mutual's post and it's like god, this is it they're gonna kill me now

[t4timekeeper]

anyway i think fans of unjustly overhated female characters and fans of unjustly overhated characters of colour should unionize

[lapetitsyrene]

I should be allowed into every museum's archives actually

[ejloyal]

every pride month i have to explain to people (cough cough usually my mothers coworkers cough cough) that like..... there's technically a combination of labels you could use for me but also i am just a freak weird animal that is definitively Queer and thats good enough for me. unfortunately, people need to know absolutely everything about your business so they keep asking me to elaborate ToT

we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason

[estro-boi]

torrents work like this

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.

please learn to torrent

so truly genuinely we need to get more funding towards freaks and perverts to make weird horny movies and tv and art i would rather watch someone’s barely disguised fetish with an interesting point of view than another soulless corporate shell with boring beautiful actors and nothing to say

[mephistopheles]

um so quick question you do know that the world isn’t divided into People Blindly Accepting Of Gender Roles and Smart Trans Ppl. the world isn’t divided into People In Romantic Relationships and Single Aros. the world isn’t divided into People Who Socialize Easily and Oppressed Autistics. the world isn’t divided into Enlightened Queer People and Stupid Misogynists. like you are aware of this ? i hope you are aware of this

90% of what got called 'queerbaiting' in the 2010s was literally just gay jokes. forget losing at chess to a dog... getting 'queerbaited' by bbc sherlock is like if the dog was barking at you and you were interpreting it as chess notation delivered through morse code
