Was browsing on Pintrest and found this vintage cover for a (what I am assuming) pulp fiction novel. Immediately, my brain went: Tower Princes. This was a lot of fun, I just gave up on the background.

Original image below the break:

tower princes

🔴 = red stands for narrative foils pining for each other, would share emotionally cathartic intimacy

🟢 = green stands for hostile passive aggressive sexual tension; gay sex would make it worse... but why not?

🔵 = blue stands for allies with benefits; gay sex to fill the void, but they are on relatively good terms with each other

It’s got everything you could ever need

-friends to lovers (classic)

-amicable divorce (hilarious)

-a new secret third thing of your ex and current partner being best friends (wow!)

Tired of the current dynamic your characters have? Rotate that shit again and see what happens!

tldr he outlined how the present necro/cav dynamic (eg. how cav is subservient to their necro and romantic relationships between the two parties is taboo) is a result of johns implicit misogyny he projected onto earth/alecto; how in this sans-misogyny world queerness/homophobia still exists in necro/cav ships

so ive been reanalyzing all the tlt relationships from the lense of necroxnecro cavxcav = hetero and necroxcav = queer and OH MY GOD

griddlehark = queer

lobotomized harrow was replacing her queer relationship (cav!gideon) with a coworker hetero one (cav!ortus)

giddianthe = hetero

kirianthe = queer

tridentaricest = queer, but as corona was “necro-passing” it could be BUTCHFEMME REALNESS
