not all ships are For wanting them to be in a happy healthy relationship together. sometimes shipping two characters means you want them to be erotically obsessed with each other and become entwined in a mutually toxic love affair for a few months and then horrifically break each other's hearts and never speak again. sometimes you want them to be codependent best friends with enough repression to explode a submarine who only make out/have sex when they're at their worst. sometimes you want them to pine after each other for years, never say anything, and then die. sometimes you want them to kill each other. this, too, is shipping

"Maybe" 😠

medieval au because i'm so normal about them

(prints!)

it bugs me how many lesbians have issues with trans women. like, we're supposed to love women. what's next, you gonna start hating short people too? fuck off.

i don’t think we talk about the loss of bodily autonomy that came with black rose’s expansion of mel’s sigils enough

mel’s experience of getting the tattoo was, sans the secret magic dad and free part, pretty reflective of my own—the excitement, the rebelliousness, the satisfaction of seeing your skin marked by something you chose that is beautiful

and then the black rose arrives, and while still beautiful, i can’t emphasize enough that this a huge shift—the lines run over her whole body, even her face. they’re permanent and they were not mel’s choice—that gold she thought of as her jewelry and armor is now an impossible to escape reminder of trauma and death

i don’t know, there’s such a potential for a unique brand of body horror here
