Maven poem as a "song" he wrote

Man of My Word By Maven Calore I’m a man of my word When I want to be A man of my word If it suits my needs A man who spins lies And never lets them bleed Ever-present in the guise Of all he must believe I lay my terms in ink And sketch the price in blood The paper growing thin The pen worn to the nub A hand reached between the bars Always burning with the ache That it might never see the stars Shining bright above his gaze I’m a man of my word When I want to be A man of my word If it lets me scheme A man who spins lies In ever-constant glee No matter how in vain In the end, it all seems I watch you leave and clutch you tight Clench my fists, knuckles white Burning deep as I deny My good sense fading into time I didn’t beg I didn’t burn I will, will not ever yearn For what I could not ever grasp And was best left burning on the ash I’m a man of my word When I want to be A man of my word If it’s what they believe A man who spins lies No matter what they see Casting doubt on even those Who think they might be free @nortaeventcouncil

SPIRITS TAKING ME 🙏

hi punk

this WIP is fighting for its life purely with aesthetics but it living (barely... not at all)

In the spiral of the scene he saw it lastly, the statue of a victory. A winged creature sat adamantly on its seat, it held a sword outstretched before it. The time has worn its real copper color into the emerald green. The eyes cried black tears.

Silver Poison

Hi Lucy

this work might be scarce but it is holding

I find my twin too far in the forest. I fear one day she might wander off all the way to the Lakelands, and return — unharmed. An eerie feeling surrounds the small valley, stillness is disturbed by a shot with perfect intervals.   “It is first friday, Rhea.” I say. She tilts her head back, neither surprised nor angry for disturbance.  “Hmm, already,” she says, with equal coldness like nature around her, and puts another bullet into a shotgun.  “Yes, mother is expecting us.” She is quiet, her finger still rests on a trigger, and nature is filled with a prolonged silence. The corner of her lip twitches upward and I expect she has another vile thought to say or has decided to disobey the tradition of the first fridays.  “Don’t you think you are born for something greater, sis?” “Yes, in fact I think I ‘m born to be a magnetron but I’m forced to freeze water.” I don’t mean it as some philosophical answer equal to her question. I answer it like I feel.  We might be twins, but I think the universe hasn’t divided us equally.

Here is an art of Eleanora and Rhea for you as well :)

HEAR ME OUT ...

Modern AU with model/bodyguard CalSamson but it is Cal stressing and working overtime with a whole team to save Samson's career bc a line between going viral and being cancelled is thin and Samson uses it as a jumping rope

the hardest thing when it comes about writing fanfiction is realising that you are not writing for other people. you are writing for YOURSELF!!

who does this appeal to? me

that's the only thing you need

Tyton/Maven sketches

trying to draw Tyven again, this time a lot more accurate to the book descriptions

[maveleina]

i have been posting about this a lot recently but it's on my mind so

whenever i think of the red queen characters in a modern 2026 setting, i have a lot of ideas that I can't help but assign to some characters

1) Theatre-kid Maven. ive made a brief mention of him before, genuinely considering a modern au fic where this is reality. i totally imagine him investing himself in fandom spaces for incredibly niche fandoms too like he'll be a part of the fandom of the untitled short story that got written by a guy who spontaneously combusted before he managed to get to the ending™ and engage in the exactly 3 fanfictions that are online of it (two of which belong to him with the third being orphan_account)

2) performative. im sorry guys this might be slander but he just strikes me as the guy to be kinda perfomative. ngl maven is too but cal just gives me that vibe. he'd probably be extra performative in front of mare in an attempt to seem like a eligible bachelor (she gets the ick) (he's trying okay.) am i gonna be boring and say he's a popular jock? no, not exactly. popular jock with a secret. popular jock and secret bad-boy. like batman but if he rode a motorcycle, still abiding to traffic laws

3) Clara says 67. this needed to be added. she is totally in tune with the ai brainrot and every non-sensical meme that's it's kinda impressive. when mare and cal have kids, mare HATES going to farley's house sometimes because her kids always learn the latest bullshit from clara and start regularly quoting it all the time.

4) mare in a high school setting would probably be the underdog. doesn't get good grades, doesn't do homework, generally doesn't care. can't blame her tbf, who wants to do calculus when you can shoot lightning out of your fingers. i can name 20 things better to do in that case. i totally imagine her and cal meeting for the first time when they both get detention together and he offers to sneak her out of the office urgh so cute

genuinely don't know what typa headcanons to call these this is just me blurting out my thoughts about what a modern au would probably look like. and also because i lovee theatre kid maven. he has my heart.
