When your hair is wavy/curly sometimes there is a fine line between “messy romantic waves” and “evil witch who lives in the woods.”

❧ Important inquiry (because I’m in dire need to know). I grew up in Arkansas, the state itself very rarely gets any recognition. From what I gather, ‘Fiendish’ is set in the south/near Arkansas (which I adore, by the way). Is there a specific place there that inspired your magnificent ‘Fiendish’ setting? Is there a town you used for inspiration? Much love, Yelir

Yes! When I was little, I lived in northern Arkansas (Marion County, a little ways outside of a town called Yellville), on about a hundred acres, surrounded by creeks, at the base of a hill called Poison Point. The house had burned down a long time ago, so we lived in the barn. 

So that’s where the setting for the Willows comes from, but for the in-town parts, I actually borrowed heavily from this really small town in Oklahoma where half the buildings on Main St. were condemned and covered in murals. They had the smallest post office I’ve ever seen and the best chicken-fried steak and okra and it was only six dollars, and once they were having this sort of founders’ day type celebration, and my friend got in a fight with the mayor over a pie.

Y'all can keep at it with that “Romeo and Juliet fell in love in five days how immature” shiz but Macbeth went from no murder to yes murder in like one afternoon and I feel like one of those is a significantly bigger problem than the other

I sent you an ask like 12,000 years ago to tell you how excited I was to read a book with my name in it. It took a while to hunt down its lair and capture it in the wild, but I finally read it and I don't know if it's just easier to relate to a character with the same name, but I figured I'd let you know that whatever midnight ritual you performed worked. You captured my soul and sewed its essence into your character, AND THEN YOU GAVE HER MY NAME. I am terrified and in love. Thanks for that.

Thanks for letting me know! I’m always really glad to hear from people who relate to (my) Waverly, even though it’s sometimes tricky to belong to the more lizardy subspecies of person …
