And adorable af when he’s sleepy. It’s like catnip to Lestat
Omg absolutely. Like, there’s nothing that makes Lestat fall in love harder than when he gets to talk to drowsy, half-asleep Louis lmao it’s the cutest fuckin thing, even if Louis gets cranky every now and then (actually sometimes the crankiness is even cuter LOL)
Ships aren’t food, they’re not exercise, they’re not even a nonfiction book or a classic novel. A steady diet of LGBT+ ships with no age or power gap won’t make you emotionally or mentally any healthier. It won’t teach you about how actual relationships work and it won’t prevent you from getting into an unhealthy relationship.
Unhealthy ships won’t ruin you. They won’t corrupt you, they won’t destroy your understanding of actual healthy relationships or erode your morality.
Your fictional diet isn’t your actual diet. There’s no organic vegan gluten-free ship that will fix a single goddamn thing.
Relax. Enjoy yourself. Read whatever fiction fascinates you, tantalizes you, engages you. The content doesn’t matter much for your health, but the joy it brings you might.
The key to writing engaging plots is the key to writing all genre stories:
Write characters who want things, and then make them work for those things against increasing pressure.
As long as you have a character trying to accomplish a goal that’s difficult for them to reach, and you make them face harder challenges and grow more as a person the closer they come to reaching that goal, you can make any idea interesting.
let’s pour one out for the fics that you had perfectly planned in your head, those ones where you knew what was going to happen scene by scene and you had specific lines already written and you just daydreamed ‘em on repeat for days on end and you never wrote anything down because there’s no way you would forget that detail or that line but then you didn’t have the time to write it or the energy or the push and then a few months later you remember only the vaguest idea no matter how hard you think about it and you know there was more but its gone forever now…
