rereading hemlock sugar rush (yeah again, I know itās only been a day but itās so delicious) and I think Iām fascinated by the devotion and worship Brad shows for Lloyd as a person, even before he was a known demigod and hero. Itās sort of like taking sword and shield reverence to an extremeā but rather than put him on a distant pedestal to be admired and revered, Brad is going for an intense personal worship. I loooove the way you described it; the idea of wanting to pull their ribs together until they share a heart is an INCREDIBLE description. And if Iām not mistaken, in one of the books Brad leaves for Lloyd, thereās mentions of flowers in the stomach and choking vinesā hanahaki reference for unrequited love?
Theyāre such freaks in this oneshot and I love it. Demented worship will flatter your man if your man is a weirdo <3
Hemlock Sugar Rush is a fever dream that possessed me for like 6 hours straight
Demented devotion is sooooo good to me. Like this is an obsession that goes back to when they were kids in school. The interpretation of S&Sās similarities is actually so tasty Iām gonna eat it. Iām pretty sure youāre in my head
Hanahaki reference? <- I admit I was extremely influenced by Donāt Let the Forest In by CG Drews which is literally botanical horror and two really obsessive boys. It had that exact kind of imagery in it. Obsessed with that book fr
Yeah theyāre fucking freaks. I originally had Brad way tamer in my head, but the more he talked the crazier this mf got. Heās obsessed with two things and thatās plants and Lloyd ya boy is the hyperfixation final boss. Maybe I just like playing with this weirdo and putting him in Situations and Mentalities. Although Lloyd def matches his freak lmao (I also admit Iām a little obsessed with stalker fantasy AUs⦠not the YA stalker romance bc those are literally all SA and gross, but AUs where theyāre both freaks about it⦠hell yeah. I think this dates back to a bakudeku fic I read like three or so years ago lmao)
