ok, fanart about STATIC by @mak3morn as a respond for the "ask" you send me. I just wanna say (and you probably saw) I ate your fic in maybe 3 days?? and holy shit, im so invested omg.

I wanna say thank you for all the effort you put in it. I love to play hide and seek with details nobody sees in fic and seems almost insane to look for it. And a thank you for the effort to put Kouri-Vini into your fic, not only is it satisfying my perfectionnism over technically lore accurate detail, but also my french canandien ass who's tired to see internationnal/european french every where. I love to read Kouri-Vini and guess what are the words and translate them. I feel like a VIP since not everyone can understand those parts.

I know you know (and everyone who read this fic) when this fanart is based on. I brain did a full "hold the FUCK UP" when it showed up. They're freaks omg. I read fire, I saw gold, I love gold, i had to draw gold.

RUN DONT WALK PEOPLE

[mak3morn]

What is Vincent’s agenda 👀 Are we seeing power hungry, climbing the ladder Vincent in your fic?

Well… who is Vincent without his desire for power haha

[mak3morn]

Okey could I word vomit a bit about the scenarios that have been infesting my brain since I read STATIC? 'cause i'm about to implode

p.s not expecting or requesting any of them to actually happen, just claryfing since the intention may be misunderstood in writting (':

GO FOR HOMIE!!!!!!

[mak3morn]

not sure if this is of interest, I started listening to New Orleans radio station wwoz 90.7 fm while reading your fic, It kinda helps me getting the vibe of those times while reading.

I listen to it in a world radio app but I think you can also listen to them at their site wwoz.org if you wanna give it a go too.

Now I find myself adding it to one of my fav radio stations haha

This is so fucking cool I am SO doing this

[mak3morn]

What’s going on over here

[mak3morn]

I just finished the new STATIC chapter and I have to say, that did NOT feel like 40k words! It flew by! Amazing!

My favorite part of the chapter is the focus on Alastor and this strange place he's found himself within society. Too black for the snobby white people, and a little too white for the black people he grew up around. At the bal - when everyone started mocking his way of speaking - and then Mr Decuir didn't participate in the mocking but still agreed w their sentiment - my heart BROKE. Throughout the bal, Alastor almost seemed more uncomfortable than Vincent!

Speaking of Vincent, what is also so fascinating about this chapter is you can sense Alastor becoming more and more ~ fond ~ of Vincent, but you can also tell his resentment is also growing!! And I can't blame him for either of those things! The city that Alastor adores so much, that he has worked his ass off to impress, is practically drooling over Vincent, just handing over itself so easily. Vincent is on his way to *replacing* Alastor, according to everyone else. And of course he is -- he is equally as talented but he is also white and that is going to make all the difference. So it's natural that Alastor would resent Vincent (Vincent, who is supposed to be HELPING HIS CAREER but can't resist carving out his own spot). But at the same time, he's falling in love with Vincent just like everybody else, for the exact same reasons. Vincent is charismatic and endearing and capable.

When I realized that Al had fallen under the same trance and they were DRY HUMPING and ALMOST KISSING because of their repressed desires, OOOOH I know Alastor is going to be in CRISIS when he is able to think about that.

All that to say, you have an incredible ability to write these two idiot boys so clearly and distinctly, in a way I don't see often in the fandom, and I adore you for it!

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IN DEPTH AND LOVELY COMMENTS I HAVE EVER RECEIVED…. THANK YOU SM😭😭😭💕

[sophialore]

I'm so happy to be back in action my fellow STATIC fanatics!!

Most of my comittments have wrapped up, with a few more finishing in the coming week... which means I can finally get back to recording STATIC chapters <3

Given how long @mak3morn's chapter word-counts have become (a blessing!!), I think from this point forward I'll be releasing the audio readings in 1 hour segments, rather than waiting until I have the entirety of the chapter recorded and edited. I'd like to hear what you all have to think about this, but I can't lie, recording 2 hours of audio to whittle down to 1 via editing vs recording 6 hours of audio to whittle down to 3 feels like a much more achievable task, and lets me get the content out to you quicker!

All that to say:

I'll have the first hour of STATIC Chapter 4 out by Saturday June 13th at the latest.

Lastly, I'd like to give a massive, resounding shoutout to @mak3morn for their continued work on this amazing story. I'm so grateful to have gotten to know you personally since embarking on this ambitious venture, and am beyond honored to have become one of the Beta editors for the fic. Truly a dream come true to collaborate with someone so skilled (and fun and kind to boot!!) <3

If you haven't yet read this incredible murdermedia tale you can find it here, and if you'd like to give it a listen via my voice, you can find chapters 1-3 here!

ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[mak3morn]

Very random little word vomit, but I wanted to share something.

Back when I was first dreaming up this story, especially the ages of our duo, I knew I wanted Alastor to be born in 1900. The turn of the century is this big hinge moment, the old 19th-century world dying and the modern one being born. Alastor arrives right at that break but, as he grows up, refuses to actually cross into it. He’s an old-world guy clinging to the past while everything keeps modernizing around him, which suits his mixed heritage too, since he already straddles worlds anyway.

That refusal is his whole deal at the start of the story. He looks like he’s moving forward with the rituals and his plan to travel into Hell with power, but it’s not really progress. He’s just attempting to control how he gets damned instead of healing or, you know, actually enjoying his life lol. What he truly wants is his mom back (and the love and safety she gave him), and she’s the one place he can never reach. So he’s written off this life and poured everything into the next. Hell becomes a fantasy of control over the one thing NO ONE controls, death and what’s on the other side of it.

But that’s exactly what the new ritual flips on its head. His first attempt was solo: arrive in Hell alone and strong and keep doing his thing forever, just like canon. Vince and Al’s version, however, needs a bond formed while living, one that carries over (in a way).

To die the way he wants, he has to let someone matter while he’s still breathing, whether he refuses to see it or not. Vincent becomes that someone, pulling him back toward a present he’d already abandoned, making him feel and want and risk actually caring about something again right when he thought he was done with all of it. And he despises it.

Since the clues for ch. 10 I seen people commenting on the Rapunzel one about a skillet, healing magic, pulling stunts etc. But the first thing that popped in my mind was the tavern scene of "I've Got a Dream" and now I cant get It out of my head Alastor and Vincent doing something similar at mimzys

I LOVE THAT SONG

[mak3morn]

Hello love your work !!!

I was wondering, is Alastor's repressed attraction towards Vincent his own or is it caused by the rituals and the "merging souls" thing ?

Have a great day/night !

It’s his own. The ritual just forces him to come to terms with it
