I Cant Believe How Long It Took Me To Think To Afflict Poor Edward With Hanahaki. He Already Has The

I'm sorry bit I just love the idea of Poor Edward thinking he's hot shit with his creepy gifts and deranged letters, then here comes Samuel who's even more fucked up than him, looking for some homoerotic stabbing while Edward cries. Baby faced loser just cannot handle an experienced freak.

LAKSJDFLASEKJES INCREDIBLE ASK TO RECEIVE, THANK YOU

but okay listen I think they're on different freaky axes. Stalking, sending someone your skin in the mail, getting possessive and jealous enough to kidnap their baby, those are all ROMANTIC freak activities. Samuel did not get the skin and go "pff, amateur, get on my level," LIKE HE WAS PRETTY DISTURBED TO GET EDWARDS SKIN IN THE MAIL. and then Sam is not really romantically inclined, he is just SEXUALLY freaky (calling him an "experienced freak" absolutely delights me but I don't know if this is true, he DOES like homoerotic stabbing but hes still a confused and repressed Victorian gentleman) while Edward simply does not seem to be sexually inclined at all?? TBH I pretty strongly headcanon him as asexual just based on how he handles love and marriage... So they're just on different tracks.

BUT HONESTLY?? IM NOT EVEN SURE THATS THE ISSUE. gets fully sidetracked with my Poor Edward Is A Kinky Ace headcanons

Thoughts & Evidence: - pain/injury: top - he "dislikes butchery" and seems to have a flair for causing psychological terror over simple murder, but causing people real tangible pain is the one thing he truly misses in his happiest ending. - restraint/confinement: switch - hes SO fixated on the coffin thing but ALSO in That One Very Normal Silverer Option hes fine playing along when YOU restrain HIM, it's only when you threaten to murder him that he actually freaks out - control; dom/sub: bottom - this never occurred to me during the ambition but makes a lot of sense in retrospect... he wants a master to pledge himself to and he's not sure if you're going to take that slot or not so he flips back and forth between pitching himself as a loyal henchman and a sadistic tormentor as he tries to capture your affection. But the only way to actually be with him is to fully take control, to essentially tell him "new plan: i do whatever I want, and you lock yourself in this building until I get back <3" and he's SO HAPPY TO DO IT.

All this to say that like, there's a couple of actual obstacles here, but neither of them are "erotic stabbing is too much for Edward." HE just doesn't wanna get murdered! BUT LIKE THATS PERFECTLY COMPATIBLE, SAMUEL IS ON BOARD FOR BEING THE GUY GETTING LOVINGLY MURDERED!!!!

I strongly suspect the actual obstacles here are: (a) Sam is too much of a bottom to be Poor Edward's master but also (b) Poor Edward is chemically impaired. In the whole first chunk of Light Fingers he's grabbing you constantly, easily overpowers you, and has NO PROBLEMS inflicting death as long as it's not permanent, but after the moon-milk he NEVER TOUCHES YOU AGAIN unless/until you actually consent to the wedding. THIS IS A FASCINATING DETAIL TO ME. He's clearly frustrated with you at points and trying to force your hand, and he doesn't seem to mind you getting hurt in the Nightmare-Orphanage when he's not the one doing it; can he just not bear to attack you himself????? ARE HE AND SAMUEL BOTH EQUALLY FRUSTRATED BY HIS INABILITY TO JUST FIGHT SAM

Hey, if anyone has any ideas for this template, feel free to give it a try!

Is there any guarantee that Edward simply stood and looked at the orphanage as it burned?

Oh yeah, I just noticed this ring in my house today.

This is a Russian doll that was custom made for Edward. It's one of his gifts, as you know!

I posted about this earlier today but I discovered to my horror that the post didn't show up in some tags for whatever reason. I'm guessing I said something tumblr didn't like.

So trying this again and hopefully I can stop bothering you lovely people with it. I promise I wouldn't have been this annoying about it otherwise.

To not repeat myself too much, I wrote a Light Fingers fic revolving around the concept of Poor Edward buying nuptial phantasies of my PC, Emery. It's a very short 3 part fic that is mostly domestic fluff but with a very creepy undertone lurking beneath the surface.

something something the song & dance of a constant push & pull regarding control etc

quick thing i did over the weekend w this ref. posting it bc the looking away is important but i had to cover it up lol

consider femdward. no i didnt want to grab a dress reference this was a 5min warmup thing. just imagine the most elegant yet austere dress possible

while the face reveal aspect would be nowhere near a surprise if he was a female character i think her threatening aura, mysterious strength & absolutely atrocious personality could def make up for it. fun things to think about

"Die with a Smile" by Bruno Mars. This song reminds me extremely of Ed. These lines fit him so well, from his perspective. and yes, I got the location of the heart a little mixed up, oops

I have a question, and if I said something wrong, you can correct me.

Is this the son/daughter of whom? I still don't understand. And one more thing about Penny. She, as I understand it, is Edward's daughter? Or who is she to him? Has Edward already had sex with the main character or not? Do they have children together, or is Edward the stepfather? (about which I am more confident).
