i decided to take a random scroll on the maphinz tag on tumblr AND IM SO GLAD I DID !!!
I spent the entire day reading your fic .. ngl i was late to class because i got too into it but !!! worth it !!!
the swapping povs was such a good creative choice actually. you'd see a character think something about another, and then it turns out that their perception is completely different from what's actually true. im obsessed with that.
i love vamp x wolf and i love maphinz so this??? you??? were a godsend !!!!!! im so obsessed. monsterhood as a metaphor for vulnerability. i think this fic shows exactly that and it does it so well that I'll be thinking about it for the rest of my life.
i loved dani and lara. they were both there for manon and sophia in different ways. dani was there for manon whether or not she wanted it, because dani knows that she needs it, while lara stayed a comforting shoulder for sophia to lean on.
please never stop writing !!!!
omg hiiii! so happy you found us (me and my fanfic) lol
oh my i hope everything went well in your class, i admit i get it, i'm always late for my classes, thank god i'm on break right now, but i still have to do my research which is such a drag. but i'm glad you liked it!
to be honest it's one of my favorite narrative choices, playing with character povs and showing how everything is perceived differently by them. maybe it's because i'm addicted to rpg right now, but it's so fun when lara finishes her part saying she hopes sophia knows what she's doing and sophia starts her part saying she has no clue what she's doing. i find it so hilarious how they clash and how they’ll never know it but you as the reader do, and you can and should laugh in their faces
at the end of the day im just a kid who grew up with twilight just like manon and i love the vamp/wolf trope. i can recite so many types of media i’ve consumed just because of this type of pairing. ty i think i played my part pretty well! i’m glad you liked it, i spent like two weeks writing the first chapter and every time someone says something nice about it i’m just here giggling and shit
dani and lara are definitely here both to show maphinz's human side and to show how the monstrous part can be unsettling. for manon it's more noticeable because she turns into a beast, but sophia also feels like a monster every time she has to feed. so the way lariela is written is meant to imply that—that dani will be there whether manon wants it or not because manon doesn't know how to ask for help, and lara will be a shoulder for sophia to lean on because she needs comfort… ugh i loved writing their dynamic so much that i keep sighing just thinking about how much it can expand and change, how they would be in certain situations etc
and don't worry anon, i write the same way i live—wildly—and i don't think i could ever stop writing. some shit aaron burr would say about how he writes like he's running out of time or something like that
