Just Thinking About Jealous Porter

Just thinking about Jealous Porter ☺️

Imagine Vincent and Treasure being on mutual terms later in their relationship with Porter.

Treasure has Vincent's phone number, "just in case" he says. Ya never know what type of emergencies can come up when an unemowered human is new to a sketchy vampire clan *cough* *cough* looks at Lovely. And on top of that, having your lover who is a hitman for a morally grey King.

After a long night of..... fun, Treasure is in a deep peaceful sleep when their phone screen turns on, signaling a text notification. Porter, assuming it's their toxic friends, picks it up to see what they could possibly want from them at the dead of night and to send a quick but assertive response, telling them to fuck of.

But oh, what's this?

Vincent!?

Why does Treasure have Vincent's phone number? Why does Vincent have his Treasure's number?? Why is that spoiled prince bothering them while they sleep? Especially after all the "fun" they had?! He knows Treasure would NEVER cheat-they just aren't the type. They've stuck around their shitty friends for long enough. Treasure is loyal. And Vincent would NEVER be the type to homewreck or step out on Lovely.

But still, Porter is jealous 🤗

terrible times to be a writer on tumblr

On a more serious note, those are the notes I received on my Gyutaro fic, CAM. I initially said I’d consider turning it into a multi-part series if it got a strong enough response, but clearly, it didn’t do as well as I had hoped. The response on AO3 is even worse, with only 22 kudos and no feedback at all.

While I’m super grateful that three people have commented and expressed interest in another part here on tumblr, I’m genuinely torn about whether it’s worth continuing if only a small number of readers are going to engage with it in the end.

I've always struggled with the lack of feedbacks on my works and once again, this is very disheartening for me as a writer. I put a lot of time and energy into creating these stories, and when there’s so little response, it’s hard not to feel discouraged.

So my question is: Is it really worth expanding this into a two/multi-part series, or should I just leave it as it is?

All of this to say — please support your writers. This isn't instagram or twitter, likes are pretty much worthless and do not help at all with visibility. 🩷

This is very much giving Porter and Treasure vibes.

I'm guessing that Porter was born around the 1950s.

When listening to his first audio and he described Treasure as demure I didn't know what that meant so I looked it up. I can't remember which website it was, but it showed the popularity of the word throughout history, and the most recent was the 2010s, but that wouldn't necessarily make sense because 1) you tend to keep the vocabulary you grown up learning and 2) Porter was around even before Vincent was turned (I'm pretty sure). He's older than Vincent, talks with older terms, and just imagine how LONG it would take for the tutors William got to teach him. He's like the Simone Biles of vampire magic. That didn't come from no where. He was unemowered before he was turned as well, so he would've needed EXTRA help.

So, the most recent timeframe in which "demure" was popular was, I believe, around the 1950s. Again, I could be wrong because I can't remember the website. But it makes sense that he would be around 70 years old.
