i really want someone to be reading this book at the same time as me bc there are so many instances where i want to just gesture to someone and go "you reading this shit?
anyway if you are a homophobic writer who is uncomfortable with people writing slash fiction of your characters, here's a free tip: don't have your main character abandon his religion which he bases all of his identity around to save another man from hell. do not have these two men increase the intensity of their connection to each other, inexorably changing both of their souls forever, in order for one to sustain the other in a huge gesture of trust and vulnerability, especially if this involves the guy drinking the vampire's blood.
but more than anything, do not have your main character experience the dying memories of the people your vampire man hunted for sport and /pop a goddamn boner/ over it. no, repeatedly having people talk about how the main character is straight doesn't undo any of this. maybe try having a woman character who lives for more than five minutes
can't stand this series
