Thinking about "convinced they're a monster, terrified of getting close to people because they don't want to hurt them" x "you're not a monster to me but like I'm also a little into it when you get scary ngl" this sounds really specific but I've had several pairs of blorbos like that
Vulnerability issues x kinky bastard gets me every time. It's about the "I don't want to hurt you" and the "you won't ...........but I mean if you wanted to? 👀"
couldn't stop thinking about tracyjat on the way home....... jat lives the most miserable violent bloodsoaked life and has visions of a girl bathed in light......... tracy is privileged and angry and gay and bored and has nightmares of a girl with a wolf's face and bloody claws......... and in a way they're seeing each other but also theyre seeing themselves as they truly are. jat is a killer who's done unspeakable things but she still has so much love and light to give if she ever had the freedom and ability to do it. tracy is beautiful and kind in her own cold kind of way but she's so ferocious and aching for some way to be necessary. and they find each other and it's weird and uncertain but tracy insists that jat doesn't need anyone's forgiveness to do and be better and to heal from what others have done to her throughout her whole life, she forgives jat for crimes she doesn't even understand and protects jat from anyone who wants to punish her, and jat who has only known untrustworthiness and violence from everyone (except doli lin, but he has ties to the people jat hurt) is able to stop running and fighting and just let someone else do the fighting for her. tracy looks like a prep-jock version of taylor swift and her nails are pure sharpened diamond and the butcher of harrana, probably like 180 pounds of ridiculously op killing machine, nestles in tracy's lap like a very tired german shepherd and makes fart jokes because she knows that makes tracy laugh.

my favorite romance trope is like. you dont want to hurt me but i am asking you to hurt me. i need you to stab me. i need you to carve this out of me. i need you to cut something off of me. this will hurt both of us in incredible ways. yours are the only hands i trust enough to weild this knife. you do not want to hurt me. i am asking you to hurt me.

been thinking abt characters with what i’m calling strong Big House Impulse. Big House Impulse is the desire to make all of your friends live in a big house with you. A classic example of a character with Big House Impulse is Gansey of the raven cycle.
It doesn’t necessarily have to be a Literal House, it is moreso about wanting to have your all friends in the same location for extended periods of time with frequency and regularity. For example, to Tamaki Suoh, the host club is Big House.
I’d argue that stories that provide the audience with the Big House Fantasy(all your friends live in a big house together), is separate from characters who possess Big House Impulse, as a characters big house impulse might not actually be fulfilled. Something like the webcomic Check Please! provides big house fantasy, but lacks a distinct character who is particularly motivated by Big House Impulse. The Haus is already infrastructure of the story, not the result of a character pushing for its existence.
I’d say this trait can often overlap with but is distinct from Motherhens and a homestuckian concept of the Friend Leader, but they can also exist without each other. I’d say common traits of characters with Big House Impulse is being a bit(or a lot) of a control freak, a fear of change and despite having good intentions, not always understanding the actual desires or needs of their companions. These characters also tend to be prone to loneliness, despite being well loved by their companions. I think Big House Impulse pushed to its most extreme form would be “i want to lock all my friends in a tower like rapunzel so nothing bad can ever happen to them.”
anyway. this has just been me speaking out of my ass for a few paragraphs. thank you and good night [takes a deep bow and is pulled off stage by a comically large hook]
#!!!!!!!#wow. seen. all of my books basically end with Big House endings#also bringing up tamaki just punched me in the heart#knowing how much he loved his host club family and in the end not getting a Literal Big House actually injured me#to the point where it’s just. how I end my stories now bc I can’t imagine being happy with it otherwise#it’s song and saba in monster - it’s lev and sevens in deep six - it’s robyn and ashleah and really everyone in prophecy squad#it just sort of happens in bitter magic even though the survivors are kind of assholes. assholes who stick together#this is such a lovely verbalization of this trope…… Big House Impulse :’)#tropes#story: the monster at the bottom of the universe#story: prophecy squad#story: bitter magic

sorry, i just couldn't help but notice that you're calm and logical and reserved and associated with the color blue? well i'm hotheaded and impulsive and passionate and associated with the color red if you want to beat the shit out of each other or make out or something
red string of fate fanart for all ten of my Prophecy Squad doofuses but everyone’s got at least three strings of different colors and everyone’s tangled up and yelling fondly at each other
tracy and jat have red strings and are making out before god and everyone, while sophie pulls on the pink string between her and tracy bc she wants her sister to STOP EW GROSS. doli lin is pulling tomi into the chaos by their braided red and white string. robyn’s string is as fine and as strong as spider silk and is attached to everyone. loreleaf and ashleah are trying to untangle their green string but jat keeps yanking the orange string between her and loreleaf and distracting him and the blue string connecting all four prophecy girls keeps flicking ashleah in the face because nobody is holding still. marou and sophie are SOMEHOW putting beads on their purple string even while sophie is pestering tracy and marou is ignoring the red string connecting him and loreleaf. the whole picture looks ear-splitting and chaotic but it’s very important that doli lin looks like he’s about to cry from happiness
