so much to chew on w how joint suffering Makes People after they get out of it. this is especially juicy to me if your characters were introduced to each other as a direct result of the horrors. you learned everything about me at my worst and against my will so how do i get better again if you’re watching. there’s no one else in the world who understands a fraction of what you know of me. i see your wounds beneath your shirt. you know how i scream. your face is in all of my nightmares. if anyone tried to take you from me i would be undone. no notes !

A man who is deathly afraid of spiders moves to a city that is a promised paradise. The rooms are constantly sprayed for bugs, there is enough food for all, everybody is friendly and they have adequate medical care. Slowly the man begins to realize something is wrong.

Hey Jon, I'm bored and thought this would be funny. Are you a Markiplier fan? And whether or not you are, would you consider watching his horror movie, Iron Lung, based off the game with the same title, and giving us your opinion? It's been doing insanely good in the US. Love your writing, btw! Would also love some tips for writing horror, as a young writer!

I've not seen Iron Lung yet, but I'm keen to as I really like the game.

And I am a Markiplier fan, even though I've never watched any of his stuff. I'm a fan because his streaming of Slay the Princess was one of the big things that started its taking off to a frankly staggering degree, all of which led to me getting a rather tasty bonus from Tony & Abby. So I will always be a fan of Markiplier for indirectly making me a bit of cash. Cheers mate!

And a quick horror writing tip for young writers... Pay attention to rhythm - body genres like horror have a lot in common with music or poetry; because it's as much about flow and timing of the horror as it is about the what the horror is.

[jonnywaistcoat]

Legitimately, given how uncomfortable many folks are with frank discussions of sex in general and BDSM in particular, I don't think people are ready to have the conversation about the similarities between writing horror and domming a scene. Gamesmastering a TTRPG as well - any activity that involves eliciting specific physiological and emotional responses from a participant or audience member.

I think one of the fundamental horror elements of jon and martin's relationship (that is super underutilized in fanworks imo) is that when they say "where you go, I go," they really mean it. by the time they're striding across that hellscape, and tbh even earlier than that, there is no duplicity or slight or monstrous act either of them could do that the other wouldn't forgive so they could stay together. personal insults, lashing out, working with the enemy, attacking strangers, direct violence, deliberately endangering each other, murder, encouraging murder, total and complete betrayals of trust, they've done it all and reconciled afterwards. sometimes they talk it out and resolve it in a reasonable way, and sometimes they're just like "hmm. fucked up!" or ("hmm. kinda cute when he does it <3") and never mention it again.

it's not just about letting anything slide with each other, either, it's bigger than that. martin will make the decision on a personal level that he could never live with surviving off of innocent people's suffering, but if doing that on a cosmic scale is the way to keep jon with him then he will sacrifice all his principles and do it. jon is hell bent on quarantining the fears by literally murdering the planet as quickly and efficiently as possible, but the second this means martin potentially dying in front of him he changes his mind. when jon says that their love for each other is "the real core of it," he's not just declaring affection after a fight, he is stating the cause for the incomprehensible tragedy that they're about to enact. it's less "the love was there, it didn't change anything" and more "the love was there, it doomed us all." it isn't even a question, they will wrap their soulmate-red binding string around the necks of everyone in the entire cosmos before they sever it.
