I just want to talk about my love for monster-boys and monster-girls. And monster-other genders, because if not all humans are boys or girls, there’s no reason monsters should have to stick to that.
I love them so much. I love minds that don’t work quite like human minds, and instincts that want different things than humans want, and monster-emotions and monster-priorities and monster-ways of seeing the world.
I love when monsters can find a space to share with humans—where maybe they don’t want the same thing, but they satisfy each other’s needs anyway.
I love monsters that don’t take shit, that don’t apologize for what they are, that don’t need to kill but will if you push them because fuck you, they’re not human and they don’t live by human rules, and you should never forget that.
I love monsters that love, fierce and raw with immortal minds and hearts, without pity.
I love immortality, and what it does to a mind, how being able to live as an immortal makes you a monster because the scale of the world shifts and your priorties can’t be the priorties that humans cling to anymore. How the world becomes so much bigger, how time becomes a place, how sanity becomes relative.
I love monsters who don’t abide by human genders, because why should they? Why should ‘girl’ mean to them what it means to us? Why should their girls, if they even have them, want or need the same things? Feral girls, ferocious girls, girls who drink blood so their bones and babies become strong, girls like hawks who are bigger and stronger and more territorial and hungry than any boy.
Monsters that aren’t boys or girls at all. Monsters who can be both or neither as they please, who never were either and don’t understand it, or do understand it and know it’s nothing more than a veil to wear to coax their prey close…
Monsters for whom humans are thin, transparent, gossamer things, more space between molecules than molecules themselves. Monsters so dense and real that we can only see them when they concentrate, make themselves incorporeal enough for us to touch.
God, I love monsters.
