Aspengrove, daughter of chaos

full of whimsy

[aspengrovethechaotic]

oh goodness

so uhm apparently you're supposed to stick a little introduction on here

This should be fun (awkward laughter)

Hi! I'm Aspen. (she/her) I like writing and listening to musicals, chatting with people, plants, cosplay, singing classical soprano, and various old lady hobbies like crochet, knitting, baking from scratch, and embroidery. I'm religious, it's an important part of my life just not the point of this account, but I might occasionally mention going to service or something of that sort.

I'm a ✨minor✨ so ✨please don't be creepy✨, and my current main fandoms are the Life Series/Hermitcraft, The Other Bennet Sister, Once Upon A Witchlight, GIGGS D&D, Iron Lung, Project Hail Mary, and Supernatural

I'm the author of Listen to the Land of Good Will and Pray For Us Sinners, two platonic bloodymary fics that got way more traction than I thought.

I'm not entirely sure how to handle that, actually, other than if anyone makes art of my fics (or sees art of my fics) I am begging you please please please please please tag me I have a tumblr I want to see y'alls amazing art :[[[ <333 (unless the artist is uncomfortable with that in which case don't of course)

I'm planning to mostly use this account for updates on my current Scar & Grian centric Wild West AU, East Side of Sorrow by Aspengrove_the_chaotic on Ao3. (Hey, look at that, it's the sellout timer!)

@/thoren1592 made some utterly INCREDIBLE art for ESOS, I am literally in awe this is spectacular please go check it and them out:

if you make/see any art based of my fics, please tag me! I love to see your wonderful art :]] <333

Please do not dm me asking for commissions. Actually, I would prefer it if folks waited until we've had a few interactions outside of dms because the scammers be scamming

So, yeah, I think that's a decent enough intro

cya later

Part of viv’s reaction to the update:

“I am being SO SERIOUS I cannot handle this”

enjoy :}}}}}}

[deltenner]

oh I think I might be able to scare you a bit more?

I’m definitely gonna be cutting this art lol (for spoilers if nothing else) but the warnings are as follows (cutting this for sorta spoilers):

“spoilers for esos chapter 13”

“tws: blood, injury, heavy implications of events of chapter 13”

:}}}}}}}}}

[aspengrovethechaotic]

[vividcomet]

Oh my gosh are we sending bribes for the next baas chapter i can do that too

*rummages in backpack* mmhm i gift thee a worm on a string as a definitely-not-bribe /vvvsilly

Its funny to beg for mercy but in all honesty VIVIDCOMET ANGST IS THE BEST THIS IS GONNA ROCK /gen

oh hey aspen!!!! I will gladly accept that worm on a string that is definitely not a bribe <3 I like worms!!!! and I know that YOU like worms!!!! so maybe I'll make things happy and fluffy this chapter!!!!!

GET READY FOR CHAPTER 23 Y'ALL I'M SO HYPE WE'RE GONNA GET SOME FUN STUFF

[aspengrovethechaotic]

Viv says itll be fun

*chuckles* we're in danger

[vividcomet]

as we get closer to the end of beneath an angry sky (and as I continue to scare people LMAO), I feel like it's about time that I clarify something!!! especially cause uh. this will become Very Relevant next chapter lmaoo

(minor spoilers below the cut for the ending of baas)

there will be NO DEATHS in beneath an angry sky except for the watchers!! yes, things will look pretty bad for a little while. no one will die, I promise <3

[aspengrovethechaotic]

✨️i dont believe you✨️

/vsilly ofc viv is many things but they are not a liar. except for saying the first fic in their magic au had a happy ending because by golly im still thinking about that

[deltenner]

”is that too much?”

[twisting-void]

red, red desert

[valtsv]

while it's not as audiovisually dramatic no amount of screaming and panicked thrashing will ever be as horrifying as being physically unable to scream because your vocal cords have seized up in terror

[aspengrovethechaotic]

I’m sure you will be happy to know that I was driving (which allows my brain far too much free rein) and maybe connected some dots from esos and my actual response was (out loud) “aspen don’t you freaking dare”

I will add that I was listening to my esos playlist so I kinda did this to myself but also AAAAA

(/vpos)

(I would say what the dots are but I can’t cut asks and it would be very spoilers)

This fic *distant screeching* (/vvvpos)

orrrrr we could think about, yknow, the Road whilst driving/vsilly /vvaff

YOUR ESOS PLAYLIST ROCKS BTWWWW

okay so I got the details >:] spoilers below the cut!

sooooo delta deltenner was thinking about how Grian had said he hoped Scar would be the one to kill him.....and what with the end of ch 13 Delta's a little bit nervous >:]

[deltenner]

[aspengrovethechaotic]

This is perhaps too specific of a complaint but I am specifically mad that I don't have access to a Great Comet proshot because

Amber Gray's scream during the duel

IS THAT FEAR FOR PIERRE OR ANGER THAT DOLECHOV MISSED

I dont know if its supposed to be something we have to guess on or if there's something in the blocking but I need to knowwwww :P

[aspengrovethechaotic]

hello

so i was listening to esos playlist while drawing ofc

and this one song (gone by beth crowley) was playing

i added it kind of matching vibes, mostly stuff that has happened

may i just say

i reframed it to a certain hypothetical in my head by accident

that possibility had better not be realized because if it is i might just spontaneously combust

okay that's all have a lovely timezone <3

OKAY

Okay okay so I listened to the song and it ROCKED thank you so much for the rec :]]] im not sure what situation you're picturing in your head, but some of those lyrics deeeefinitely had me cackling over some as-of-yet unreleased scenes :]]

have a lovely timezone!!!

[aspengrovethechaotic]

ougghhh I need to read esos now that its finished... ive been watching people's reactions from my lonely corner of the internet and I am Scared

ooh you should >:]

Well, technically ESOS is fully finished on my end but it won't be posted for a little while because I'm being kind to myself with my posting schedule :]]] but itll be fully posted soon!!!

[aspengrovethechaotic]

With @thoren1592's permission, I had a single, private use copy of their AMAZING INCREDIBLE esos artwork printed
