I was left clutching at that most poignant and useless of regrets: if my lover had to die, why couldn’t I have been the one to kill him?

Exquisite Corpse

Something non-TF2 related for a change. Trust me when I say I am just as shocked as you are.

My illustration of Andrew Compton and Jay Burne from the book Exquisite Corpse from William Joseph Martin, formerly known as Poppy Z. Brite. I love that book and wanted to give faces to these two murderous cannibals.

If anyone has read this book I would be thrilled to discuss it with you! I listened this song on loop as I drew these, it's my theme song for them.

"Jungle Fruit" (by me) - Buy My Short Story!

This is already so niche but I wanna talk about my biggest inspiration - not only for this story but for me as a writer, as well.

Poppy Z. Brite (William Joseph Martin)

He's literally my only motivator for continuing my original writings. His novels and stories have literally changed my life. Exquisite Corpse (easily his most popular novel) altered my brain chemistry, haha! It assured me that the thoughts of stories I had in my mind could actually be written down and published. It also helped me better understand how relationships (especially queer relationships) could be written in horror. That the horror itself could come from how much the two lovers obsess over each other (or one-sidedly).

All that being said, Jungle Fruit was a short story I wrote almost immediately after finishing Exquisite Corpse. Reading it assured me that this idea I had for so long could become an actual story people can read. And I really want to share it.

TL;DR If you're a fan of Poppy Z. Brite, or just a fan of Exquisite Corpse, I think you'll enjoy my short story Jungle Fruit. There's a summary and info on how to buy it in my pinned post. I'll really appreciate it <3

Me JUST trying to imagine Jay and Andrew having sex from that one scene. My brain straying to Tran’s death scene every single time, making my stomach squirmy to the point that I can’t sleep. ThAT bitch had to slice him open TWICE, and he was STILL alive the first time. Idk how long it’s gonna take for me to get over this.

Me somehow sort of being able to zone out and successfully imagine it while at the cinema watching the the most boring movie alive that was Dune: Part 2.

IOWC as Counterinsurgency

There’s good reason to believe that the One World Crusade of the early 70s Unification Church in America was an attempt to both gather intel on anti-war groups, to hijack anti-war demonstrations, as many of their tours were coordinated with anti-war demonstrations and their events often occurred at such demonstrations or nearby, and to recruit from their fold. The government was actively trying to de-radicalize the increasingly revolutionary students and youth of the US. Many of the centers at the time were in college towns and were attempting to be friendly with leftists and anti-war organizations in deceptive ways, including hiding their religious beliefs. Many of these organizations could see through the Moonies in short time. At the time, the US government had a lot of coordinated efforts to gather intelligence on these organizations, which follow very similar tactics to the IOWC. Understanding that the UC was paid by the FBI in the 80s to spy on and sabotage the activism of El Salvador solidarity activists, it seems very probable that this was the case.

A bronze statue of a laboratory mouse knitting a double helix of DNA in order to honor all the mice that were sacrificed for genetic research to develop new drugs to fight diseases.

It was designed by Andrew Kharkevich and is located in Siberia, Russia.

The monument was completed on 1 July 2013, coinciding with the 120th anniversary of the founding of the city.

The monument commemorates the sacrifice of the mice in genetic research used to understand biological and physiological mechanisms for developing new drugs and curing diseases.

Sculptor Alexei Agrikolyansky, who created the statue, confessed that it was challenging to capture this moment, as the mouse was obviously not human.

Nevertheless, he had to produce a character with believable emotions while maintaining anatomical proportions, avoiding it looking like a cartoon character or a real mouse.

The DNA spiral emerging from the knitting needles winds to the left, symbolizing the still poorly understood Z-DNA - representing the scientific research that is yet to be done.

In contrast, the more common B-DNA winds to the right.

The very first photograph of DNA was captured by a woman named Rosalind Franklin (25 July 1920 – 16 April 1958) using X-ray technology, allowing James Dewey Watson (born April 6, 1928) and Francis Harry Compton Crick OM FRS (8 June 1916 – 28 July 2004) to accurately characterize the double helix.

While they went on to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962, Franklin was not credited.

Sadly, she had passed away in 1958 from ovarian cancer, most likely caused by the high radiation exposure she endured while working with X-rays to capture the image of the double helix.

Quote

The knife parted skin and muscle, skated over breastbone. When it reached the hollow of the ribs it sank deep into the body. There was no resistance, no indication of agony; Birdy lay motionless in his restraints and let me open him up like a Christmas parcel. As my hand brushed his erection aside, I felt the blade grate against his pubic bone. For a long moment his torso remained intact, bisected from throat to crotch by a narrow red ribbon. Then his wound blossomed open and his contents spilled forth, a cornucopia of rare fluids and stinking scarlet treasures … A sepulchre of disease.

Andrew Compton and Birdy in Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite

Have you read...

note: If you did not finish but feel you read enough to form an opinion, you may choose a ‘Yes’ option instead of 'Partly' (e.g., Yes, I didn’t like it). Interpret "neutral or complicated" however you like, I intended this category to be a broad option between like and dislike.

To serial slayer Andrew Compton, murder is an art, the most intimate art. After feigning his own death to escape from prison, Compton makes his way to the United States with the sole ambition of bringing his "art" to new heights. Tortured by his own perverse desires, and drawn to possess and destroy young boys, Compton inadvertently joins forces with Jay Byrne, a dissolute playboy who has pushed his "art" to limits even Compton hadn't previously imagined. Together, Compton and Byrne set their sights on an exquisite young Vietnamese-American runaway, Tran, whom they deem to be the perfect victim. Swiftly moving from the grimy streets of London's Piccadilly Circus to the decadence of the New Orleans French Quarter, and punctuated by rants from radio talk show host Lush Rimbaud, a.k.a. Luke Ransom, Tran's ex-lover, who is dying of AIDS and who intends to wreak ultimate havoc before leaving this world, Exquisite Corpse unfolds into a labyrinth of murder and love. Ultimately all four characters converge on a singular bloody night after which their lives will be irrevocably changed — or terminated. Poppy Z. Brite dissects the landscape of torture and invites us into the mind of a killer. Exquisite Corpse confirms Brite as a writer who defies categorization. It is a novel for those who dare trespass where the sacred and profane become one.

Voice HCs

Part Idk 6?

The Twins

youtube

(eminem as reference)

sort of high pitched but not in a twink way more of like a "I've done hard drugs" way

slightly nasally? see above

Andrew's voice is a little scratchy from screaming his throat raw as a child (sorry)

Andrew uses more AAVE from growing up in Compton, while Aaron tends to use very "sophisticated" English since he's an academic.

Andrew never forgets his words (obvs) but Aaron always does. constantly. he's a premed student so his brain is already fried and he's more likely to forget a word in English but remember it in German

Andrew is also selectively mute 🤷‍♀️

(absolutely wild headcanon that I could expand on in a different post if you want) (feel free to ignore it)

Andrew has a slight lisp from scar tissue in his mouth that came from being forced to eat glass
