synopsis: 1973-1980. At the age of seven, Michael Jackson befriends a boy, Johannes Falkner, who is just as lonely and lost as him. As the pair grow older, their bond morphs into an obsessive devotion that transcends regular adolescent camaraderie. When Johannes's grandparents begin to feel uneasy about their relationship, the boys are forcibly separated.
1996. By the age of twenty-nine, Michael has devoured the bodies of many men unfortunate enough to cross his path, temporarily satiating the uncontrollable hunger that Johannes's absence had created in him. When Michael finds his way back to his childhood companion, his peculiar appetite and possessive behavior complicates their reunion.
authorās note: this is what happens when i watch a movie with cannibalism as a metaphor (bones and all). i highly recommend itāif you're comfortable with seeing people getting ate (LITERALLY that is).
and while "cannibalism as a metaphor" may be the central focus of this fic, there will be other topics woven in such as: hypermasculinity & its harmful effects on (queer) black boys and men, love vs. codependency, the weaponization of religion to control others, the strictness of black male gender performance, and etc.
also, if you're one of those people who NEED the main characters to be "good" people who have never done anything wrong, then this isn't the fic for you.
not being christian but loving black christian music is so fun like ion believe in none of this but i like hearing my ppl sing of hope and prosperity like turn dat upppppp
which one of your fics are you most excited to write??
Hmmmā¦Imma say Bad Girl because itās not as bleak and dark as Devourance. I mean of course thereās gonna be angst, but thereās also a lot of hope and light in Bad Girl as well.
Hi moot! šš½ Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you previously make a Michael x male oc fic inspired by Interview with the Vampire? If so, and you still happen to have it avaliable on any of your online users, could you direct me to it please??
Hello, mootie ā¤ļøššæ
I do remember posting snippets of an MJ vampire fic that I never finished on my old blog. However, mine was inspired by Bram Stokerās Dracula (1992) and Nosferatu (2024). So, Iām not sure if thatās what youāre looking for or if youāre mixing mine up with another writerās fic.
As someone who used to be rail thin because I suffered from disordered eating, it turns my stomach to see how nasty some people are about Arianaās situation.
Do you have reasons for not liking Lisa and Michael lol for me itās I donāt see why weāre so obsessed with this random white lady with him
Iām pretty sure I said I was indifferent about their relationship, but anygays, the reason for my indifference is I donāt really find their relationship all that fascinating.
nonblacks think every damn thing we do has to include them thatās the issue its bad enough yall steal aave all the time and misuse itā¦.if u see a phrase or word u dont get just keep it pushing u dont have to understand bc it literally is not meant for u š not every space is for you and thats okayā¦.u will live i promise
this will sound crazy but sometimes i genuinely feel like some michael fans view this man as white. itās already annoying enough because a lot of people are still ignorant about his vitiligo, thinking michael could control it, which is insensitive in itself. the reason why i believe some michael fans view him as white is through some fan art, the way heās written in some fanfic, and overall perceived in and by the media. i know what i am saying is not anything new, but it is bothering me, while having the knowledge that michael, when alive, was always proud to be a black man, and had to basically force people to see that. youāre contributing to a harmful narrative if you do view michael as a white man, in any way, shape, or form, thatās an undeniable fact. i could go on about why i feel this way and how i do think that even some of his non-black fans are a contributor to why, not just press, weirdly enough, if that makes sense, even a little. because my conversation on how some non-black fanfic writers exclude black readers when it comes to making michael x reader fics ties into this a bit. also, going back to fan art, and how some non-black artists draw michael to have skin as pale as an actual white man, which is, problematic in itself. i am not even trying to offend anyone, itās just something thatās been on my mind for a while.
