Having an abusive parent is kinda funny in retrospect like mommy why do you have beef with me im 4 i love you
Horribly abusing the "save me" format it's just applicable to everything
it'd be really fucking funny if you met your significant other in a saw trap. like you're at a family reunion and some distant cousin asks how you met and you have to be like "yeah they had to pull out some of my teeth. but the chemistry was great."
just finished poppy z. brite's "exquisite corpse" and it absolutely wrecked me. was especially really, eerily compelled by the abusive and tense relationship between luke and tran.
they are both such fascinating and honest characters. i've met them, i've known them, i've loved them, i've been them. so i had to sketch them out.
i really loved the book but it is incredibly graphic and is probably the most objectively vile thing i've ever read. it's a book about two gay serial killers, the runaway who gets caught up with them, and his abusive ex-bf-turned-abrassive-niche-radio-host.
but, it is also such an honest and compelling exploration of queer relationships, of desire, of mortality, and of the social impact of HIV/AIDs. also the prose is bone-chilling, beautiful, and gruesome while still feeling very down-to-earth and real.
i know everyone on this website means well, but if you ask me “which of these characters is sadder/wetter/doing worse in general”, and one of the opinions is harry dubois, you’re kidding yourself if you choose the other one. you’re kidding yourself for even suggesting it. he doesn’t know what the alphabet is. everyone he works with fucking hates him. he routinely threatens to kill himself while doing his job. he got broken up with SIX YEARS AGO and is still on like, day one of the grieving stage. he can die from sitting down in an uncomfortable chair. his clothes are soaked in piss and vomit all the time. as if all that wasn’t enough he’s also a cop like come on guys nobody is doing worse than him, we should just accept he’s an unattainable #1 and start polling for who is in second place

shit man this got me emotional
the fact that, in the middle of fighting frieza, vegeta realized that saiyans become stronger after recovering from a near death experience and decides to mortally wound and then heal himself a couple of times like he’s exploiting a video game glitch is really funny
