Minoru Nomata, The Architect of Ruins
My silly little doodles of my silly little mass murderers <3

this may be because i’m aroace but i get a bit bored by ships that have a stable, explicitly canon and romantic relationship that involves a stereotypical view of dating and love. i need them to be inextricably linked, metaphysically entangled, two sides of the same coin, foils who bring out the best and worst in each other, so deranged and obsessive that they actively harm others around them. equals with opposing goals that may or may not ever align and a connection that transcends physicality and simple definition. it’s especially fascinating when they blur the lines between devotion and resentment, or just flat out combine them. when they each define themselves by the other’s absence, when there’s some sort of unforgivable rift or a past betrayal or a conflict where they are both at fault, when they detest each other so much they can’t be content together and can’t be content apart, when they’re each the only ones that truly see and understand each other despite the animosity between them. when they both find an equal in each other but instead of joining each other and building a stable relationship or alliance they spiral into some sort of unsettlingly intimate mutually assured destruction. when a character who considers themselves monstrous grows obsessed with and devoted to the monstrosity they helped cultivate and bring out in or can see in another. when there’s religious devotion and imagery, or cannibalism and consumption of flesh, mind melding, body sharing, symbiosis, some sort of mental link, or an understanding of each other so great it honestly doesn’t make a lot of rational sense. when the lines between them blur. it’s also great when they are fundamentally compatible as people and could be together in a different setting but in this one they end up appallingly destructive and codependent and devoted in a way that could never be understood by others or function in any sort of typical real life situation.

There wasn’t a single instance where I wrote a comedic part of a story and it didn’t include fucked up body horror and gore.
