Art of Trying

Tímea. ‘97 baby. Aspiring fantasy writer. Open to tag games. Sharing developmental bits about my WIPs.

[crimsonshadetress]

Hi there everyone, I decided that now I finally made a WIP intro for my current project, I might as well make a long overdue re-intro too.

About me.

I’m Timi, a late 20s central european adult who tries to finish a book for the hundredth time. You can find me sharing bits of my projects here, as well as spreading my friends’ and other creators’ art of every kind. Occasionally ranting a little bit about life, current media or music obsession.

My intrests are very much revolve around fantasy, sci-fi, litfic, horror, romance and everything inbetween. Can’t be too specific because I enjoy a variety of genres, depending on my mood lol. My all time favourite books are the whole of the Stormlight Archives, the whole of the Green Bone Saga, Interview with The Vampire and The Man with The Golden Touch by Mór Jókai. Hope that helps (I know it doesn’t, I’m sorry.)

Other intrests. painting ∘ animation ∘ languages ∘ knitting ∘ martial arts ∘ dance ∘ swimming

About my writing.

I tend to write what I enjoy comsuming, therefore every kind of fantasy with a pinch of romance and a handful of horror — be that any kind. Plus I sometimes tiptoe into sci-fi territory.

Current work.

PROJECT SASIN ⬑ urban fantasy. crime. sapphic romance.

Later sometimes I might expand the Sasin intro to something like the old ones I made, but I wanted to deliberately keep it lowkey for now. I also have three more projects shared on this blog, that I will not list because of space saving purposes. They are also in the backburner for now, as I try to concentrate solely on Sasin this year. However, there is a lot of content for them from last year if anyone's interested, so.

why did nobody tell me that Yellowstone is basically texan Peaky Blinders? i would have started it a lot sooner.

loved that partner said this morning that Daemon is a dragon himself lol. like. for him, it’s not an ancient creature who lets him on his back, but an extension of his personality. Caraxes is not dangerous because he’s a dragon, but because Daemon is dangerous, lmao. it’s very interesting and honestly i can totally see it.

okay but being obsessed with MAO, and now discovering The East Palace is literally a gold mine. it’s pure, whole food for my shamanism-smitten soul what the hell.

its so funny when im listening to my non writing playlist because i just zone out and when i zone in again i’m just like “wow this song is so good what is it?” and then i remember i put it there so i already knew it lmfao

[holdoncallfailed]

sometimes when i read something extremely good i can hardly stand to read more than two or three sentences at a time because i get so excited every other line that it's almost physically exhausting to get through

i want to doodle on your hands, i want to braid your hair, i want to laugh with you at how badly i painted your nails, i want to giggle on the eyeliner i put on your face in the wrong way, i want to run farther from the house than we promised, i want to hold you when you scrape your knees after our bicycle race, i want to cry with you after a fight with your parents, i want to build a pillow forth with you, i want to scream beside you with mud in our hair, i want to talk you through the night, i want to buy ice cream with you from our first pocket money, i want to see you blush when you see the neighbour, i want to pretend to be adults together, i want to love you like we did when we were ten

PSA for anyone who uses ingramspark, or anyone you know who does, you now need to opt out to prevent them from selling your books to AI tech companies to train their AI. 🤦‍♀️

I actually do think it’s better for abusers and abusive characters to realize the harm their past actions caused and seek to do better than be literally or metaphorically executed for their crimes

i’m genuinely very glad that there are still artists like Tash Sultana or Sleep Token who aren’t afraid to make eight fucking minute long songs with the most core-shaking guitar solos. like yes, where did music lost this?

Occasionally you do need to just let fantasy be fantasy. "Why are the mountains around Mordor in a square, mountain ranges don't work like that" well you see there's an evil god who lives there hope this helps

New Guy From the Bottom of the Primordial Sea has dropped!

(no name yet)

Like Eugene, he's excitable and a terrible meddler in human affairs, and often gets himself into shenanigans. He's less of a braggart than Eugene, but is an incorrigible gossip. While Eugene's wheelhouse of interest is adventure, his is romance.

He really wants a true love romance for himself. Unfortunately, this has not once worked out to date. Fortunately, he's difficult to discourage. Next time, right? 加油！

As a general rule I think the guys (and gals) from the bottom of the primordial sea don't necessarily vibe with one another. However, I think that there are siblings that he gets along with worse than Eugene. I have a feeling that they are among the younger ranks of Guys From the Bottom of the Primordial Sea.

There's no story here (yet?), these guys are just dollies for me so I may make up some more whenever the mood strikes me!
