Hiiiiiiiii would you ever draw mo^2 in your art?

I'm guessing this is Morella and Montresor...

This has been sitting in my drafts for a little bit, so I decided decided give it some colour ^^

Love their angel and demon parallels, very poignant! That Christmas comic also warms my heart. ♡♡

I think half of the horror of Willtresor on monty's side/pov is that Will (of his own will or not (hah double pun)), no matter how many dark sides Montresor shows to him, no matter how much he mistreats and abuses and uses Will, that man is Always gonna want him ....

... and that Monty, the moment he even GLANCES the possibility of will having a darker side/something more to him, CANNOT just bail out and run away no matter how much he Will Almost Certainly want to...

(case and point: ignoring will after the stag arc + will LITERALLY STANDING AND WAITING AT HIS DOOR LIKE A STALKER)

[m1xieup]

Yes exactly!! And I think this partially stems from Montresor’s subconscious need for control and to reaffirm the worldview he was raised with.

I also think this is partially why he acted the way he did in 160 & 162. In particular him not being able to accept the darker/stranger aspects of Will stems from him being unwilling to accept he may have been wrong about Will. That Will may not be as weak and helpless as he percieves Will to be, how he wants Will to be. Because 1) Will being weak reinforces the worldview he was raised in and means he doesn’t have to confront how he may be wrong/the fact that the way he’s treating Will is wrong (because Will is weak, and in Monty’s head a weak man deserves it, because it’s easier to think you failed than to accept you never deserved it, and yet it happened anyways). And 2) If Will is weak it means Montresor has complete control over the relationship and him, and in his head this is conflated with safety.

Hence him being unable to accept Will when he defies his expectations—it takes away his control and therefore his safety. So control must be regained, and Montresor has only been taught one way to assert control. If he can over power Will, if he can berate him and control his identity/behavior, if he can hurt Will without consequence, then that proves he’s in control. And that’s what he does, and it’s part of the reason I think he treats Will the way he does in 162. He has regained complete control of the dynamic, he has proven Will is still able to be dominated essentially, and now he has Will not only at his beck and call, but in a mentally vulnerable position due to the memory loss. In his mind, everything is how he should be, he has basically forced Will back into the way he “should” be.

Yet there is a part of him that wants Will to fight back, and to stand up for himself, and I think this is due to a couple reasons. Part of it is that he cares for Will (or at least the idea of Will, even if that means he can’t accept the way he is/still treats him terribly despite it), and I think part of it is seeing a younger version of himself in Will. Montresor seems to view strength as the only path to safety, and he wants to protect Will, so he views Will becoming strong as something necessary. Unfortunately his idea of strength and how to build it is extremely limited. And finally I think part of it comes back around to control, because there is one thing Montresor cannot seem to exert control over: how Will sees him. No matter what he does, Will will love him. It shatters his facade and seems to unsettle him greatly. Will’s subservience seems to disturb him yet he also actively enforces it, which is fascinating.

If Will resists his control or attempts to make a decision Montresor would not make for him, he tightens the leash and further exerts his control. He wants Will to push back, to resist, but only in ways that ultimately don’t matter. In a way he wants a performance of resistance or independence. But Will can’t seem to give him that, and worse Will continually, accidentally, disobeys him and breaks his control throwing him off once more.

Montresor truly has created a hell of his own making, his own personal nightmare (much like the way the narrator of William Wilson dooms himself but that’s a discussion for a different post). Will is a monster that cannot help but love him, even if it kills him, and Montresor is terrified but he also needs Will, and wants Will. He needs the love that Will will give him, he needs his forgiveness and belief, he needs someone willing to be destroyed and yet will not—cannot—leave.

it’s like someone else said in a recent post (I apologize but I don’t remember who) Will is perfect for Montresor, and all this is a consequence of his own actions. He has to deal with all the pain he’s caused made manifest and yet still loves him, and he can’t. Because deep down he is like a goat: a scared animal lashing out at the world, at every shadow, because when you feel yourself to be prey, everything is a threat.

Relics of the Sanguine Rose - A vampire-gothic themed cursor Windows, made with pixel art.

I wanted to make my own cursor with a vampire or goth theme in mind. So here we go, these cursors are finally made. It's a complete set (except for the uncustomizable stuff like zoom and grabbing hands), includes that fully animated moving "busy" hourglass and left-handed versions for those who are using left hand.

I made them specifically for windows but feel free to convert the cursors that work for MacOS or Linux.

About the size:

Windows automatically make cursors become 32x32 in size (thats the default size), and if you try to resize the cursor in the Windows 11/10 mouse settings (in "Settings" not from the control panel). It would revert to one of Windows' default cursor look if you try using the resizing sliders. The cursors are originally made 128x128 (like large size cursor), but Windows automatically put it to 32x32 (or other sizes if you adjust the scale from setting)

Yep... that's moving hourglass alright, good to look at while your program waits.

Softwares used:

Clip Studio Paint (drawing them)

GIMP 3.0 (making the png's become .cur files)

RealWorld Cursor Editor (adjustments and such)

Download links (its free, like free beer... or blood for vampires):

Reblog this with your current favorite Nevermore rarepair and why you like it in a sentence.

My current favorite is eulaspero because they share similar feelings of being alone and wanting connection, and because of the vibes

[small-bubs]

Thank you SO MUCH to the 2 people who said mo^2, finally I've found my people. Mo^2 is always at the top of the list for me, but my guilty pleasure pair is Theotresor. I have a whole vampire x vampire hunter AU written out that I've only shared amongst my friends. I like their opposites attract aesthetic of fire and ice, silly and serious, sun and moon, etc. HOWEVER Flynn has actually drawn them interacting so I'm not that delusional lol
