Creepypasta/Marble hornets characters with a tall S/O

Eyeless Jack

>Feels a bit…challenged at first

>He’s so used to being the tallest and then you come in with your cute face and tall body and-

>Jack doesn’t say anything since he doesn’t want to make you upset but he does avoid you

>Until he tells himself that he’s being stupid 

>He’ll then go out of his way to make an effort to talk to you, almost like he’s convincing himself that your harmless 

>He eventually realizes that he’s starting to fall for you, hard

>The thing that first frightened him now made him love you even more 

>But you will never convince him to be the little spoon >:P

Ben drowned

>Yeah it’s not much of an accomplishment to be taller than him

>He likes to cling onto your legs like a sloth 

>He mostly does this to get attention

>And he likes your legs

>He kinda likes that you’re taller than him, it almost makes him feel…cute?

>He makes you bend down to kiss him even though he could easily just stand on his tippy toes 

>Piggy back rides

Masky

>No 

>No 

>Absolutely not

>Stop being so god damn tall

>He kinda loses his shit over you being so tall

>He likes feeling like he’s in charge and being able to push people around and you being so tall is really interfering with him being mean to you >:( 

>Masky dislikes you for this trait alone at first and basically convinces himself that your the worst person ever 

>But then, he overheard you and sally having a tea party one day and he kinda…melted?

>From then on whether he liked it or not he couldn’t see you as a bad person 

>He does wish he never overheard you though, because now he has a huge crush on you and has no idea how to handle it 

Hoody

>Very neutral

>He loves you just the way you are <3

>Hoody likes the fact that you can reach things for him

>It gives him an excuse to spend more time with you

>He doesn’t have a personal preference of little spoon or big spoon so he’s fine with either

The NightRunner (Dolos)

>He kinda likes it

>Or at the very least doesn’t care

>He realizes that height isn’t something you can really change

>And he would look stupid if he got upset about it

>Dolos is kinda already short so he’ll definitely request your help a lot

>Reaching stuff, putting him on your shoulders, dusting the top of a cabinet

I was rereading Luck In The Shadows and Stalking Darkness by Lyn Flewelling, so drawing Alec, Seregil and the rest of them was my relaxing comfort activity before going to bed for the last days now and then. Even though most of the main cast is male for these books, there are sooo many interesting and diverse female side characters, named and unnamed.

I am not including classics in this one because there is already a poll for it. These polls are my biased opinions about books I have read (am reading in the case of one of them, but it is that good so far).

I’ve been reading Lynn Flewelling’s Nightrunner series so here have some obscure book fanart! This is a scene from the end of the book because I still haven’t stopped thinking about Alec running after Seregil and knocking him off his horse for being an idiot. I would draw that, but I can’t draw horses

#like. the thought of whatever happened in the time skip haunts me #seregil i korit #seregil #alec i amasa #nightrunner series #luck in the shadows #okay idk what else to tag. tagging new things is always confusing #im a third of the way through traitor's moon now tho #candlesart

Queer book recs from IFM's editors

Mantha's Rec(s)

Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner Series and Tamír Triad

Any chance Mantha gets they recommend Lynn Flewelling's Nightrunner Series and Tamír Triad. Both set in the same world but in two different eras, these fantasy series have become so dear to them over the years.

The Nightrunner books are part fantasy, part political intrigue, part murder mystery, all while exploring themes of belonging and identity. And while they don't have genders outside the binary, the two main characters are bi, cis men (with a little gender-nonconformity in there, too.)

The Tamír Triad tells the coming of age story of a trans girl at court in the midst of political upheaval: think Knights of the Round Table but King Arthur is trans.

Flewelling's writing is impeccable. She has a gift for character, detail, and setting that creates immersive worlds. Though not recent publications - the first book came out in 1996 - they were the first books Mantha read that showed them that the sky was truly the limit in fantasy writing.

Lydia's Rec

All the White Spaces by Ally Wilkes

Not for the faint of heart, All the White Spaces by Ally Wilkes is a historical thriller in which a trans man stows away on an expedition ship bound for the Antarctic from England.

Set just after WWII, the stakes are quickly raised when the ship - the only way the expedition is getting home - is destroyed just shy of their destination. Missing most of the crew and nearly all their supplies, the few remaining members of the expedition must find a way to survive the winter in Antarctica.

Stumbling across a German expedition's camp seems like a stroke of good luck - but where did the Germans go (and would they even believe the war was over?), and what lurks in the darkness just outside of the lamp light?

Sione's Rec

Life Ceremony by Sayaka Murata

If you're a short story reader who loves weird, slightly dark speculative fiction (think George Saunders, Miranda July, Alexander Weinstein, Carmen Maria Machado), Sione highly recommends Sayaka Murata's book of short stories, Life Ceremony, which came out in paperback in May.

While the stories don't contain genders outside the binary, there is gay rep, asexual and aromantic spectrum rep, and neurodiversity rep.

But what really gets zir excied about this book are the themes! This is basically an entire short story collection about what's normal, who decides, and how changeable our social norms and taboos are, which opens a window into a future with many queer and neurodivergent possibilities. Ze hasn't been this excited about a new book in a very long time.

i think i've found my niche favourite book genre and it's queer fantasy written in the 80s/90s

#i mean obviously i'm talking about nightrunner #but also i'm about to start swordspoint by ellen kushner and there was another one i wanted to read but can't find in ebook #i could probably explain why i enjoy them so much but i'm in bed so. maybe tomorrow #el randoms

[smalltownfae]

Yeah, I know that there are actual evil characters in this piece of fiction, but I am gonna hate this specific character for commiting the crime of being annoying.

been reading Point of Knives, the novella that takes place between Point of Hopes and Point of Dreams and goes into how Rathe and Eslingen's relationship gets started, and when i say i havent kicked my feet and covered my mouth and mentally giggled at an mm romance like this since..... well, probably ginn hale. like youre telling me these two have fucked a dozen times but cant be together because of the conflicting interests of their masters, but oh no! whats that? they have to work together again? and still have feelings for each other? and strike up a deal (complete with handshake) to be winter-lovers and make the best of it until they have to break if off again despite their feelings continuing to grow way out of hand? and one of them is too shy to ask the other his SUN SIGN even after having his bones rearranged? all this, while theres a double murder to be solved?

once again i genuinely cant believe how long it took me to find some of these really good older gay novels, how theyve managed to exist in the cracks completely removed from widespread word of mouth and recommendation blogs. i really cant wrap my head around it

#theres obviously been other romances since ginn hale that ive really loved #but this shit hits different i dont know what to tell you #like how is nightrunner the ONLY gay 90s fantasy series i ever saw being recommended / mentioned at all #when there are apparently so many other books that are leagues better #(in my opinion) #((i still have only read the first nightrunner book)) #man... at least im here now #and can hopefully help bring attention to these kinds of titles now #three decades too late in most cases. but hey. better late than never <3 #book thoughts #astreiant

[jmkonst]

i hated the style i chose for this one so i deleted it, heres a better version! feels better now
