🪻I'm also an artist and game dev! i will occasionally post pictures of my characters on here, but it will mostly just be writing stuff. i am not currently taking public commissions.🪻
all writers, fanfic or original, beginners or masters of the craft are welcome here, that should be a given but alas.
this is my blog where i talk about my wips, shit post, and share my ideas and writing tips I've learned over the years. we do not gatekeep the creative process in this house, so if you have any questions, shoot me an ask or dm me!
I've been writing since i was around eleven, started out with fanfiction (fandom i will not name but my irl friends know what it was lol) and now i write my own work. however i will occasionally write fan fiction as a warm up or if the fancy strikes me.
i am finished with my first book! it is yet untitled but it is currently going by SHRIKE. its the first in a series and i am currently querying it to agents in the hopes to be picked up. i will be posting updates to this blog as my publishing journey continues :)

🪻heavily based off of Irish and Welsh fae mythology
this one is weird to talk about, because it was done at one point, but unfortunately, i hated it. so it got almost completely scrapped. however, I've added some other things into it and injected it with some of my signature violence and hopefully that'll fix it for me. aka, still outlining.

Instead of giving your manservant Jenkins $100k to let you hunt him for sport, try hunting one of the office interns instead! They'll do it for college credit!
you think that you're so alone in the world then you read literature from hundreds of years ago and you realize that other people have always felt this way
knowing my 'happy sunshine' character is going to be one of the antagonists in the sequel series is so good. like yes, have those starry eyed ambitions and pretend you aren't going to end up exactly like your grandfather.
person A buys a shirt at a local thrift store that is very clearly just a random persons birthday party/bachelorette party/whatever shirt with a complete non-famous stranger (person B) all over it.
sometimes a family is a teenage girl who should have died years ago, her 35 year old half brother, her dad the emperor, the emperors closest 'friend' (they haven't spoken in 25 years), some old guy, and a tiger.
Will admit that one of my favorite flavors of character to write is indeed “I’m in charge, I dont want to be, but also, no one else is doing it right so i HAVE To be.”
