Reblogging!
@rad-braybury says: “Cannot get over how amazing both the initial sketch and the final cover are! I have the sketch set as my lock screen and the cover as my wallpaper on my phone.”
I went to YT to search for scenes from Kurt Wimmer’s Equilibrium, cause I remembered that it features a very similar scene to the hut scene, not even mentioning that John and Mary’s relationship has very strong Reylo vibes anyway [and really, if you compare these two scenes, it’s obvious that Rey and Kylo’s relations are supposed to be seen in a romantic way] What do you think about it?
BTW, the first suggested vid after typing “equilibrium john and mary” into the search bar is a fanvid with “Un-Break My Heart” (aka song which Daisy mentioned when she was asked, which song would Kylo listen to).
I started wondering if Daisy has seen this movie and found this song when she was looking for vids about these two XD
Hey I quickly wanted to contribute something to this day in reylo week as well; even though it might be a little late? It’s a bit more rough with its color but yeah. (heh I’m reading a court of mist and fury right now and I feel like that’s exactly what directly influenced this?)
Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus or How a Woman Fell in Love with The Grotesque
This movie is 18+.
SPOILER REVIEW.
What can I say of this movie? Is not for people that want a completely historically accurate biography or are history nerds or even Diane Arbus nerds. In fact that’s why is called an imaginary portrait. Nothing that you see here is real or happened.
But jeez, this movie is so artistic and a beautiful monster romance. Long story short, the plots tells the story of Diane Arbus (played by a magnificent Nicole Kidman), a housewife that serves as her husband assistance in his photography study. Diane has two very rich, very oppressive parents and a very supporting husband. And two kids. But somehow, she feels trapped in this suburban life. Later she meets a strange new neighbor, Lionel.
Lionel, played by a Robert Downey. Jr, who I didn’t recognize the first forty five minutes that I watched the movie until I put the volume to maximum because he was completely covered in fur.
And when I mean covered with fur, I mean completely.
The man in question has a condition called hypertricosis, wish is known as the Werewolf Illness and is dying because of it.
He is a wig maker and ex circus freak that attracts Diane with his wit and helps her to explore her fascination with the grotesque. While her husband does photographs to models and clothes. Diane starts to be fascinated by corps, people with with abnormal features, nudists, etc.
What I love more of this movie? The eroticism. The actors have a breathtaking sexual tension to but their romance is constructed slow and taking their mutual interests and dreams. There are scenes when they talk about sex, scenes when they are naked and just inches from each other, but they don’t touch. Hell, we don’t even see Lionel’s face until the last twenty minutes of the movie, but unlike other monster romances when the public is somehow disappointed because the monster returned to his “prince” state, here there is another plot point sides them making love. In any way, the sexual tension and the building of their relationship is so good that you don’t care if Diane screwed the guy being furry or not.
But part of me says that RDJ can be sexy even if he is covered with fur like, hell.
(But also is pretty funny when she cuts shaves his hair because she cuts him pretty badly in some parts and the the haircut is sloppy AF).
The ending is bittersweet, since Lionel dies, but they make love for the first/last time before he dies and is a beautiful scene. Diane leaves her family (yeah, she is not pretty perfect princess protagonist so prepare yourselves) and becomes a famous photographer.
So. totally marvelous, brilliant movie. A monster romance the please the Prince and Monster lovers, because he doesn’t change in personality at all when he goes “prince”. Beautiful cinematography and marvelous acting. Take a look, Reylo fandom!
THE DARKANGEL (DARKANGEL TRILOGY #1) by Meredith Ann Pierce
Aeriel is kidnapped by the darkangel, a black-winged vampyre of astounding beauty and youth. In his castle keep, she serves his 13 wives, wraiths whose souls he stole. She must kill him before his next marriage and comes into full power, but is captivated by his magnificent beauty and inner spark of goodness. Will she choose to save humanity or his soul?
You think this is your average YA novel? Think again! First published in 1982 it came long before the supernatural love interest was trending. I read this book as an adult and I never once had the feeling that I couldn’t relate to the young heroine. This trilogy features incredibly imaginative worldbuilding, a wealth of interesting secondary characters and universal themes including love, friendship and betrayal. I was crying by the end and I mean crying, like actual salt water leaking from my eyes.

So about two years ago I wrote a Reylo fanfic which is totally terato, but back then I didn’t know what teratophilia was and why I was into fantastic horned creatures and all. Lol.
Trigger warning for impregnation and a bit of blood.

Rey clenched her fingers on the flower bouquet, dipping her head to smell them, lilies and purple lilac brushed her nose as she inhaled their scent. It was almost time.
She felt as if it was only yesterday when she met him the first time. Running through the woods with her friends, playing a game, she tried not to get caught. Looking for a good place to hide, she reached a spring breaking from a huge rock, covered in little white flowers.
Beside it, there was a man, covered in black up to his neck, sitting, looking at the water. It was a stranger, Rey never saw him before. Surely, she would remember such a face. Beautiful profile, prominent nose and plump lips. He raised his head, covered in luscious locks of raven hair, reaching his shoulders. His eyes, dark, but somehow warm in the afternoon sun, met hers, and Rey found herself under a spell. He reached out to her and she took a step forward, unsure, but unable to refuse him.
