Finally managed to get through Iron Lung. 10/10, exactly enough blood. We need to bring back the art of locking attractive men in boxes and letting them figure it all out for themselves.
This is not a Project Hail Mary-safe space, BTW. I'm talking about actually hot guys, not the generic ones they pump out at the Hollywood Film Star Factory.

i'm like a fujoshi but for dead people
if you could see the thread i'm hanging on by you would not say these things to me
Jenova's basically an abstract metaphor for western colonialism and extractivism, so if she was human I think she'd be a CEO who's like "YESSSSSSS CUT DOWN THOSE FORESTS! STRIP MINE THAT LAND! POLLUTE THOSE RIVERS! YESSS!"
All while shopping for Wonderbread...
The iron hook slid free from his shoulder with a wet metallic shriek. Something black and arterial splashed across the stones between them.
The torturer stepped back instinctively. Not out of mercy. Out of surprise. The prisoner laughed. Not loudly. Worse than loudly. Softly. Like he had just remembered a private joke older than civilization.
“You still think pain is a language,” he said.
Another blow. This time across the mouth. Teeth cracked. Blood sheeted down his chin in long ribbons.
The interrogator hissed through clenched teeth. “Tell me where God went.”
The prisoner turned his head slowly. There was blood in his smile now.
“There are organisms,” he said, “living beneath Antarctic ice that have never seen the sun and have still learned how to eat.”
The room had gone very still. Somewhere in the dark, machinery groaned.
The interrogator grabbed him by the jaw hard enough to bruise bone.
“You think this makes you immortal?”
The prisoner spat a clot of red onto the floor between them.
“No,” he whispered.
“I think it makes you temporary.”
The torches flickered.
For one impossible second, the interrogator became aware of his own pulse. The heat in his veins. The soft wetness of his eyes. The damp animal electricity inside every living thing. The prisoner watched realization bloom across his face and smiled wider, blood running between his teeth.
“You cannot threaten a creature from the dirt,” he said, “with returning to the dirt.”

i am not mad at the sweethearts in the comments and replies going “but i like this!” and i will write a weird hook torture scene in whatever i work on next just for you. with more beautifuler words and actions and dialogue that Means
You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.
You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because “aro/ace people can still date/have sex”? Okay, then. LET’S DO IT. I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same way—not romantically.
I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.
I wanna see the two demiromantics who don’t even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.
I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.
I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happy…but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired.
Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?
UPDATE: Okay, wow. I had no idea this post was gonna blow up like this. 😂 Like THIS MANY people want these kinds of stories too? I'm shook.
So, uh...*pulls collar nervously* I actually publish stories like this? I'm the author of a YA horror-fantasy series called The Stormwatch Diaries. Long story short, I'm republishing the first three books to fully explore my main characters' asexuality and aromanticism.
So if you're looking for an aspec relationship dynamic that involves:
Being in love with your best friend
It's mutual
You're both ace
And aro? Demiromantic?? Qoiromantic??? WHO KNOWS
You're a bonded pair and cannot be adopted separately
Oh, and there's graveyard cuddle time
Then maybe *sweats*...maybe you'd like to check out my first book Legend of the Storm Sneezer, which is coming out on Asexual Visibility Day next year? (April 6th, 2026.)
"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry
Nothing better than a human/monster couple where the humans kinda into it when the monster gets scary/more monster-y
hey guys unpopular opinion but you’re not a bad person if you don’t care about every bad thing happening in the world all the time, or if you do care but you’re not constantly reblogging posts spreading awareness and information
it’s okay if you’re just on tumblr to have fun and reblog things you like or that make you happy.
humans aren’t made to process trauma and suffering on a worldwide scale without any breaks whatsoever & the internet has created an unprecedented access to bad news so please never feel guilty for scrolling past it because you can’t process it! and you’re not doing anything wrong & there’s no need to feel guilty
i love writing out numbers and then putting them in parentheses like "one (1)" even when i dont need to i think its funny
the style of writing is not the problem, not the genre, not the subject matter, not even the words themselves. the SINGLE defining issue with the “Tumblr Prose” style i was trying to tackle is that it’s front loaded with imagery and metaphor and completely lacking in sense, reason, symmetry, motion, conveying information. i agree that plenty of writing can sound good and feel good to read when it’s all metaphor and visceral images but it needs to have a baseline that can carry it through or else the tail wags the dog and it’s all cool “quotable” lines and no substance, nothing to read between the lines, no character
I hate how it's always "stop letting your teenagers drink energy drinks!!!" And never "stop letting energy drink companies put dangerous amounts of caffeine into their drinks and stop letting them market to teenagers" or "stop forcing teenagers to be at constant sleep deficits because of early wake ups and absurd homework and stress loads" but hey who cares why not blame the literal child for trying to stay awake enough to match the absurd expectations y'all have for us now
you know you’re fucked when you start to get the “they would not fucking say that” feeling about The Character’s canon dialogue. no hope at all
