rereading hemlock sugar rush (yeah again, I know it’s only been a day but it’s so delicious) and I think I’m fascinated by the devotion and worship Brad shows for Lloyd as a person, even before he was a known demigod and hero. It’s sort of like taking sword and shield reverence to an extreme— but rather than put him on a distant pedestal to be admired and revered, Brad is going for an intense personal worship. I loooove the way you described it; the idea of wanting to pull their ribs together until they share a heart is an INCREDIBLE description. And if I’m not mistaken, in one of the books Brad leaves for Lloyd, there’s mentions of flowers in the stomach and choking vines— hanahaki reference for unrequited love?
They’re such freaks in this oneshot and I love it. Demented worship will flatter your man if your man is a weirdo <3
Hemlock Sugar Rush is a fever dream that possessed me for like 6 hours straight
Demented devotion is sooooo good to me. Like this is an obsession that goes back to when they were kids in school. The interpretation of S&S’s similarities is actually so tasty I’m gonna eat it. I’m pretty sure you’re in my head
Hanahaki reference? <- I admit I was extremely influenced by Don’t Let the Forest In by CG Drews which is literally botanical horror and two really obsessive boys. It had that exact kind of imagery in it. Obsessed with that book fr
Yeah they’re fucking freaks. I originally had Brad way tamer in my head, but the more he talked the crazier this mf got. He’s obsessed with two things and that’s plants and Lloyd ya boy is the hyperfixation final boss. Maybe I just like playing with this weirdo and putting him in Situations and Mentalities. Although Lloyd def matches his freak lmao (I also admit I’m a little obsessed with stalker fantasy AUs… not the YA stalker romance bc those are literally all SA and gross, but AUs where they’re both freaks about it… hell yeah. I think this dates back to a bakudeku fic I read like three or so years ago lmao)
