(April 2026 update; see Current and Past WIPs below the cut!)

Welcome! This is my main blog, but I post about Writeblr-related content about as often as I post about my various other interests or personal stuff. I’m also an artist and an animator, so sometimes I post about those as well.

I’m open to being tagged in tag games even if I don’t always have the spoons to participate. I appreciate being tagged either way!

Heads up, I am 100% anti-AI and will block anyone who supports it, especially those who use it for writing or art.

Themes/tropes/genres in my writing:

fantasy, sci-fi, and various combinations of the two

neurodivergent characters (especially as protagonists and/or romantic leads)

themes of isolation, loneliness, sacrifice, forgiveness, redemption, unconditional love and acceptance

non-traditional perspectives of faith-based themes

generational trauma and other forms of family drama

whump sometimes (I like it as a seasoning, not a main course)

no sexually explicit content, and light on the romance; some of my stories have romance arcs with asexual characters, and some are about aroace characters and feature no romance. Either way, I prefer to focus on friendship dynamics in my writing, whether in the form of friendship-forward low-spice romance or truly platonic relationships.

Existing franchises I enjoy that have influenced my tastes in storytelling include The Adventure Zone, Doctor Who, The Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, A Series of Unfortunate Events, Pushing Daisies, Only Murders in the Building, Gravity Falls, Adventure Time, Over the Garden Wall, and various Disney films including Beauty and the Beast, Tangled, and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Current WIPs:

🌊 - Unquenchable

Following the events of Unfathomable, this sequel is an underwater murder mystery featuring spooky laboratories, deep-sea cults, more leviathans, and a whole lot of family drama. Currently in progress with one full rough draft completed as of April 2026. Click here to check out my WIP introduction masterpost for this project!

Past WIPs:

🌊 - Unfathomable

Unfathomable is an underwater fantasy/sci-fi coming-of-age adventure starring an aroace protagonist. The aesthetic of the story’s world is inspired by the Subnautica video game series and the Ethersea season of The Adventure Zone podcast. Unfathomable is fully drafted and currently being critiqued by my online writing group. Based on feedback, I plan to revise the story a little more before either querying it or shelving it. Click here to check out my WIP introduction masterpost for this project!

🌹 - Ambrosia Heights

A portal fantasy with influences from Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Twenty years after a chance encounter as children, a cynical thirty-year-old human woman and a seven-foot-tall elf sorcerer must team up to save the world from a magically-induced apocalypse. While this story does have a romance arc, the main POV character is on the ace spectrum and I would not necessarily categorize the book in the romantasy genre. Click here to read the full WIP intro masterpost for this project! Since this project has essentially been shelved indefinitely (four drafts of extensive edits and revisions only brought my word count down to 335k, still unpublishable), if you are curious about the world and its characters, I have an alternative to share instead: a short story titled The Monster of Withingham Wood which takes place after the events of Ambrosia Heights and features the characters as they would appear in the sequel. Many of the ending story beats of Ambrosia Heights are covered in this short story, essentially recapping and condensing certain parts of the novel into a (comparatively) more manageable 7.4k words.

back soon

I can’t believe it took me 3 relistens to catch Travis’s Psych reference in TAZ vs Dracula. What do you MEAN Mutt’s parents did the fantasy equivalent of Henry Spencer locking his 9 year old son in the trunk of a car to teach him how to escape a kidnapping

[authoralexharvey]

What do you mean there are WRITERS on here just fine with people using AI for "writing" and "art" what the fuuuuuck do you mean and why are they people I used to respect. what the fuck.

[author-a-holmes]

I don't even have the energy for outrage anymore, it just quietly breaks my heart, as the rising disappointment tries to drown me.

[dyrewrites]

I don't have the energy either but I'm still going to be outraged.

There's no room in any field for LLM AI, none, and if you're using it at all you're not an artist, author, musician, programmer, or even a member of society.

You're a thief and a leech and directly impacting the downfall of our collective human communities and the destruction of our world.

You existed just fine a few years ago without this proven to bring down cognitive abilities tool of the fascist elite and you can fucking exist again.

So stop using it.

[authoralexharvey]

Yes this is exactly where I'm at with it. It's depressing and distressing how many creative people I used to respect have since drank the AI kool-aid, and I understand especially in this current era the quiet sadness and resignation. But also. I'm gonna be fuckin pissed off. We're supposed to be CREATORS and some of us are capitulating to using it? Nah. Fuck off.

i really like this picture its just a girl and her sopping wet beast

gonna be honest i don’t know how many more ‘enter the 6 digit code we sent to your phone’s i got left in me

[beeonaspiderweb]

I like learning new things. I like learning new words. I like seeking out new music that I would not listen otherwise and has very little listens on streaming sites. I like reading books that I don't see discussed much or on the bestselling lists. I like visiting new places that people would be overseen. I like watching movies that are made for TV or DVD because they can be campy and funny. I like meeting new people because I feel like each one of them is here to teach me something about myself. I like trying new flavours so maybe I can find something new to love. As someone who struggles with stepping outside of my comfort zone, I always believed that you've got to split that piece of bread with your loved ones. It is a part of creating memories and years from now on these new memories you are making are going to comfort you on rainy days. I am all for new experiences as long as I shall live.

WIP Wednesday

Thank you for tagging me weeks ago @mrbexwrites! I've had this one sitting in my drafts for weeks now and I kept coming back to it. But everytime I would think of posting it, it would be either Thursday or Friday. So yay, I'm finally making it to Wednesday!

Tagging: @leahnardo-da-veggie @felittw0rks @alintalzin @orphanheirs @satohqbanana & anyone else who wants to do it! If you get tagged, it is not a must to do it <3 It is only really up to you!

Danielius rushed over to the funeral home and knocked on the gilded window, trying to spot Smiltė. For a moment, Edvardas wondered if he should join the others there, but he hesitated. As Edvardas approached to pull his brother back by the shoulder, Danielius breathed on the window and traced something with his finger. He then waved. Edvardas couldn't tell if his brother was a fool in love or just a complete idiot willing to embarrass himself. The church was hidden beneath a thick veil of fog, its roof faintly visible through the dense night sky, outstretched like the metal wings of a bird. At the entrance, a marble statue of Jesus stood in a drowsy vigil with one hand resting over its heart, its plaque cloaked in moss. A gauntlet of golden leaves blanketed the stone stairs, and the distant crowing of birds could be heard near the black gates of the parking lot. Edvardas had always been odd since childhood. He found comfort in the dark of night. Unlike most people, he wasn’t afraid of being around graveyards. He thought that the dead couldn’t hurt him. It wasn’t as if they could rise from the grave, wrap their cold hands around his neck, and drag him down with them. It was the living one should fear. The living could hurt you in far more ways than the dead. Danielius hummed a song under his breath, his nostril hairs flaring as cold puffs of breath escaped his mouth. The kid was weird, but Edvardas was starting to like him. Maybe they had more in common than he sometimes expected from his brother.

@mrbexwrites I keep always telling (and screaming at Mo) because I am always excited to be reading her stories, even if I only pretend to be angry at her half of the time for the way she's treating her characters.

And while I don't want her to feel like she's being rushed since I know that she's also busy with real life, it's just that her stories always hold a soft spot in my heart. I remember reading Mavis' story for the first time when we had a very thunderous week, and it would calm me down since I am scared of thunderstorms, and they always make me very anxious. And her stories would comfort me and it would help me ignore what's been happening outside.

@satohqbanana I will always dearly adore Satoh's Grace, but recently I noticed that I really fell in love with Aali a lot and reading anything Aali related always makes me excited, and I also loved the Glass dancers concept so much. It was very interesting to me to try and imagine it in my mind, and how it would work in real life. Sometimes I really struggle while imagining one's writing (this happens even while reading professional books), but Glassdancers as a whole really tickled my imagination very well.

There's a couple of more people who I found to be very creative @writingingraves (really love the videos that you have made, I found them to be very mesmerizing to watch, and I believe that any form of creativity should always be celebrated) !! Also @leahnardo-da-veggie I'm very excited to learn more about Racer but I remember really loving the story that you wrote about Hash Brown I found myself very immersed in the voice that you used for a narrator!

[beeonaspiderweb]

I also can't believe that I forgot... @diabolical-blue! I love your writing so much and I'm so happy you have allowed me to read Unquenchable. I really love your characters. I hope one day I will be able to recover over what happened in the second half. I don't want to spoil too much just in case you have other beta readers reading, but oh the heartbreak. <3

Honestly I think the compulsion to describe things about your own original characters as "a headcanon", silly as it sounds and incorrect as it is, makes complete sense when you understand it as "this is a thing that is true about this character to me that I want to tell people about but do not currently intend to include in any actual published narrative about the character."

Happy STS! It's back to school soon, so... what do your OCs' bags look like? It doesn't have to be a backpack- it can be a simple sack, or a purse, or a duffel bag. What does it look like? What decor does it have? What is always in the bag?

Happy STS! Thanks for the ask!

In Unquenchable, Marlo’s satchel is canonically where he keeps the gribblepiglets (marine isopod-like creatures) who come along on his expeditions as ship’s pets. (Not that they stay in the satchel the whole time, just until they’re inside the submarine where they’re free to roam around.) This can also result in situations where they stow away on trips Marlo didn’t intend to bring them on if he doesn’t check his satchel carefully enough beforehand.

Other than that, Marlo and his friends’ bags and backpacks are usually full of daily living essentials, spare clothes, trinkets they pick up from their travels, and everything else they need to live “on the road” running their courier business between underwater settlements. That doesn’t change too much even after the murder investigation starts, since the first part also involves a lot of travel. Except Keeley packs a lot more tools from her workshop than usual so she can work on a time-sensitive project on the way, and Marlo brings along some note-taking equipment to document their findings.

one of the best pieces of advice I've ever heard (for myself, at least) is that if you're in a terrible mood and NOTHING is helping, then start doing the chores/responsibilities/job stuff/etc that you've been putting off. Will it put you in an even worse mood temporarily? Probably, but you're already pissed off, so you might as well double up on it at that point 😭 there's no loss. It's not like finally getting around to cleaning the house and scheduling appointments is going to ruin the good day that you aren't currently having to begin with 💀 And then, when the bad mood passes, you'll have gotten shit done and you'll feel a lot better later, even if in the moment you're having The Worst Time Ever about it.

Seriously though how WOULD one broach the topic of AI use with a writing friend when you don’t want to risk ending the friendship over the issue? It bothers me enough that I WANT to raise some polite concerns but not in a way that will counterproductively make him get offended and put up walls and double down on what he’s doing. But if it comes up in conversation again I really would like to not just…say nothing and breeze past it, if there’s any way at all to raise the points that need to be raised without it turning into a fight?
