words dripping with ichor,

oddity // writeblr // 25 // follows back from @omnic

[befouling]

HELLO AND WELCOME!

Hey! My online alias is Oddity, though you’re free to call me Alphonse too. I’m 24, go by he/him, and write a myriad of genres but with especial focus on fantasy and sci-fi. All my stories will have some semblance of queer romance interwoven into them! My interests in reading is similar to that which I write; I live for fantasy and sci-fi stories and stories with prominent POC, queer, and disabled characters (a mixture of these is always a plus!). I wish to only interact with writeblrs who’re over 18.

Keep in mind when I follow back, it’ll be from @cyberpunkz due to this being a sideblog!

WIPS!

⬤  ICHOR (BEFOULED)      genre: supernatural, queer romance, new adult.      pov: third, past tense.      themes: heavy christian theological influence; christian theology turned on its head; the notion that angels and demons harbour morality spectrums and aren’t necessarily representatives of good and evil, respectively; monsters come in all shapes and sizes.      stage: worldbuilding; plotting out chapters.      summary: An investigative journalist finds that a string of murders has far more hellish beginnings than he would’ve ever anticipated. During his efforts to unveil exactly what lies behind those profuse, proverbial curtains, he ends up connecting with a man who intends to join him on his journey, and whose beauty seems to transcend Earth itself. As it turns out, Hell is far more complex than life would’ve suggested.

⬤  THE ORGAN OPERA      genre: sci-fi (cyberpunk), queer romance, new adult.      pov: third, past tense.      themes: capitalism + anti-capitalism; fascism + anti-fascism; dystopian earth but striving for a better future.      stage: worldbuilding.      summary: Years ago, a manmade virus raked its teeth against humanity ― an epidemic of organ failures swept nations, devastating economies and governments alike. From the ashes of millions, select few megacorporations loomed over those who remained with malicious intent. Many of these megacorporations now control particular districts. Angelwood is controlled by the medical monster that is MERCY and is currently facing its latest threat ― yet another uprising. And this time, they’re not going to stop until they burn MERCY to the ground.

⬤  DEATH’S PARADISE      genre: high fantasy, queer romance, new adult.      pov: third, past tense.      themes: the reluctant chosen one; benevolence can be superficial and ultimately self-serving.      stage: beginning stages; worldbuilding.      summary: Prophecies have haunted mortalkind since the very beginning. Sometimes they beckon goodness, waiting to be unwrapped like a gift bestowed, and sometimes they’re the harbingers of havoc. Other prophecies, however, incite greed and want. When a new prophecy bubbles to the surface, speaking into the existence the rebirth of Death’s Paradise, a unique, once thought extinct power that bodies not only the immortality of the individual but the possibility of passing this power onto others ... The lust to evade death can make mortals do a great many things. For Silvester, however, he just wishes it didn’t involve him.

To find but morsels of what the world used to be spurs an odd feeling of nostalgia deep within your core; it surpasses your hard shell, delving until it tickles something gleaming, innocent, and something some would dare say is childish – hope. Hope for a future crafted with compassion but founded on destruction.

Funny, to experience nostalgia for a past that isn’t your own.

You live in Angelwood; a city like many others, yanked by the leash that is MERCY. You know about MERCY. Magnificent Emergency Relief and Care for Yourself, it stands for. It rose from the ashes of a worldwide epidemic of organ failures, constructing artificial organs which would ultimately save pockets of humanity from extinction – at a price. With the devastated economy and government, MERCY’s growing finances and following, MERCY soared to power. Then came the monopolisation of medical services – even if it was under a different name, you knew it was collared and walked by MERCY – and the subtle lacing of bodily modifications, or “augmentations”, into contemporary fashion and style. For those who still suffer from breakouts of organ failures, or for those who feel the stroke of MERCY’s marketing and manipulation warm on their cheek, they can pursue avenues paved by MERCY. Oh, but for those who cannot afford such grandiose costs? Well, need not worry, they offer simple contractual signups where you can pay back in smaller instalments. While this all seems lovely and altruistic when spoken with the honey-lathered words of MERCY agents, you know all too well that should someone miss one too many instalments, they’ll pay for it in more than just their money.

Will you conform and live a life that is shadowed by MERCY? Or will you fight? Both sides have their positives and negatives, yet death lurks at either door. Do you want to go out swinging, or go out plodding?  ―  THE ORGAN OPERA

OVERVIEW.

GENRE  ―  sci-fi (cyberpunk);  queer romance.

DEMOGRAPHIC  ―  (new) adult.

NARRATION  ―  third person;  past tense.

THEMES  ―  capitalism;  fascism;  anticapitalism + antifascism;  body augmentation;  human experimentation;  dystopian earth but struggling to make a better future.

STAGE  ―  revamping and plotting;  worldbuilding.

SUMMARY  ―  Years ago, a manmade virus raked its teeth against humanity  -  an epidemic of organ failures swept nations, devastating economies and governments alike. From the ashes of millions, select few megacorporations loomed over those who remained with malicious intent. Many of these megacorporations now control particular districts. Angelwood is controlled by the medical monster that is MERCY and is currently facing its latest threat  -  yet another uprising. And this time, they’re not going to stop until they burn MERCY to the ground.

MAIN CHARACTERS.

LEONARDO SONG  ―  Often referred to by his nickname of ‘Leo’, Leo is of mixed Korean and Filipino descent. He is the originator of the latest wave of rebellion against MERCY and his fire is something that can’t be quelled. He’s suffered severe facial disfiguration at the hands of a MERCY agent but wears it with mixed pride and anger.

CYRUS MERCER  ―  A black man who was one of many orphaned and taken underneath MERCY’s wing  -  under the condition that he partook in their PERSON program. On the surface, it seemed benevolent and altruistic… But MERCY never does anything nice without later ripping it to shreds. He’s now immune to the virus and wields more power than anyone in MERCY could’ve anticipated.

COCO DOOLEY  ―  A trans woman and close friend of Leo, she partakes in the uprising against MERCY and their control over Angelwood. She’s an expert hacker and has been steadily building her pool of information of and against MERCY.

MURDOCH MURRAY  ―  A trans man and close friend of Leo, like Coco, he too is part of the uprising against MERCY’s control over Angelwood. While Leo is fiery, Murdoch wields the cool charisma and allure akin to that of a skilled conman. He’s often the first to go into a situation, to procure or to defuse.

The ‘add to dictionary’ button on MS word is such a power move like I don’t care if it’s a real word or not, you stupid little software, you will learn the word Quinjet and that’s that on that

𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐚𝐠 !

I was tagged by @mxxnwrites – thank you! It’s much appreciated! ✨ I’ve written varying parts of worldbuilding for both my wips, but here’s the last actual piece of story writing I did for ICHOR (BEFOULED) last night:

Oh, his mouth was beautiful – lips full and plump – but it was a mouth that’d sooner bite than kiss.

As for who I’d tag...... honestly I don’t know enough people in writeblr to feel confident enough to tag them! So: if you see this and think ‘wow I wish someone would tag me!’ consider this that tag! 💕

meet erosandros (of the second circle of hell) from ICHOR (BEFOULED)! eros is one of my oldest ocs, it’s probably been about tenish years since i came up with my first concept of him. and how far he’s gotten!

𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐎 𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐒 ; 𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨.

THE BASICS.

NAME  –  Otto Matthew Watts AGE  –  33 PRONOUNS  –  he/him/his although also content with they/them/theirs NATIONALITY  –  Australian by birth CURRENT RESIDENCE  –  Atlanta, Georgia USA OCCUPATION  –  Investigative journalist

THE LOOK.

HEIGHT  –  5′5″ (165 cm) HAIR  –  Black; coiled, often cropped short EYES  –  A dark, earthen colour; gentle and warm FIGURE  –  Plump and chubby; Otto would fondly describe his build as akin to a ‘teddy bear’ PREFERRED STYLE CLOTHING  –  Layers, lots of layers; tries to meld contemporary fashion with his own spark

THE MIND.

PERSONALITY  –  A mirror of his amicable shell, Otto strives to be as friendly as he can without being a doormat. He’s a teddy bear with teeth; step on him and be bit. Otto harbours a streak of sharp and slicing righteousness and won’t stand for injustice. This leaks into his profession and hence why he pursued investigative journalism in the first place. That being said, he won’t directly harm those who he investigates. He’ll unveil their corruption and misdeeds to the world and hope that the world responds with an appropriate measure of justice  –  something that doesn’t always pan out as he hopes. FEARS  –  The prospect of being publicly humiliated, often spurred when he errs. An undeniable discomfort when faced with settings that remind him of high school. GOALS  –  Long term? To make the world slightly less corrupt than it is. Also, he’s keen on writing his own comic series, though it seems like such an unattainable wish of his that he feels daunted by the drafting and storyboarding process. Short term? Arguably medium term  –  to become a better baker. INTERESTS  –  Politics, journalism, history, baking, reading, drawing.

THE BLOOD TIES.

THE FATHER  –  Matthew Watts: currently estranged from Otto following Otto coming out as gay, Matthew is a devout Christian who wields a strict no-tolerance policy of anything other than heterosexuality. THE MOTHER  –  Jasmine Watts (maiden name: Jasmine King): still keeps in touch with her son, Jasmine is a beacon of warmth and light midst the murk. She often plays the mitigator between Matthew and Otto, trying to form bridges between them in hopes that they aren’t burnt forever. THE YOUNGER BROTHER  –  Tyler Watts: currently estranged from Otto following Otto coming out as gay, he was still vulnerable to peer and parental pressure at the time and took the side of his father over his brother. In the past few years, Tyler has come to the realisation that he’s asexual; this realisation, coupled with years of guilt and personal progression, spurs a desperate need and want to reach out and forge a brotherly bond with his older sibling, though he fears it’s too late. Tyler feels a deep, prickly shame with how he treated Otto.

“Ichor runs through my veins,” he murmured, voice like a feather gracing ear. A single, spidery fingertip traced along a snaking vein of his arm, roaming up and up until it lingered upon his supple and craning throat. He smirked, the expression coloured thick upon lips, twisting the corners in a way that was both snide and crestfallen; an odd duo that held hands like twins, fingers interlaced and palms flush. “Alas, it would be your kind that tells me that my ichor is foul.”  ―  ICHOR (BEFOULED)

OVERVIEW.

GENRE  ―  supernatural, mlm and queer romance.

DEMOGRAPHIC  ―  (new) adult.

NARRATION  ―  third person, past tense.

THEMES  ―  christian theology turned on its head;  the notion that demons, like humans, harbour the good, the bad, and the downright ugly in morality standards too.

STAGE  ―  revamping and plotting. 

SUMMARY  ―  An investigative journalist finds that a string of murders has far more hellish beginnings than he would’ve ever anticipated. During his efforts to unveil exactly what lies behind those profuse, proverbial curtains, he ends up connecting with a man who intends to join him on his journey, and whose beauty seems to transcend Earth itself.

As it turns out, Hell is far more complex than life would’ve suggested.

MAIN CHARACTERS.

OTTO WATTS  ―  A chubby, gay black man with a nose for all matters of corruption, fraud, and political concealment, he finds himself trapped in a world within his own: the world of demons. As an investigative journalist, he feels though it’s his job to plunge himself deeper into this realisation that there’s more to existence than simply them, but as a person, he feels though he needs to turn heel and run.

EROSANDROS (OF THE SECOND CIRCLE OF HELL)  ―  Initially introduced as Eros and will typically utilise this short-form moniker around majority of people, Eros is a trans, intersex man whose origins lie in the overlap of Hell and Earth, and whose beauty transcends both. He acknowledges the supernatural allure that forms a shell around his form, and yet rarely acts on the fact.
