do not follow if you submit ai writing.
writing-focused above all else. i would rather have a deep relationship between muses than have a hundred shallow ones.
i'd love to get to know more writers who write characters in smaller movie fandoms because it's often hard to connect. i find that tumblr fails to even put promo posts in the search these days. if you know of anyone, please let me know about them!
Past affiliates will always have my humble spamming: saltuary, other deleted/inactive oldies who r always welcomed back.

Confusion isn’t welcomed. There should neither be weeping, nor any grief spared for them; their corpses. If they had spoken their names, he would have forgotten them. If he had seen a child trembling, a mother on the crest of tears and defiance, he did not care. There should be music in his ears, the sound of a wild carol finally rioting and babbling a horn on the cruelty of them. Only then, like viscous matter; hard, avid, remorseless—maybe, he could come closer to leaving behind this witless, tormenting agony, his rapt egotism of hate by the windows, and bring his broken mind and soul to rest.
He leans against the balustrade, painted shadow against a moonlight that would not have blinked over a massacre. Where he should have felt scalding burns, Padmé’s compassion comforts him, softens his edges into something less potent. Darkness walls the expression of his face. It is still a night his own plight almost outstrips her beauty.
" Whose whim passes him by the second. " He countered, rough voice already sounding more exasperated than he means to.
Stepping closer and hovering nearby the scientist to stare up at the data on the screen. His worse fears helpleslly being pushed to the forefront.
" You're brilliant yourself, Doctor. What are you so afraid of? When you're more human than that god you speak of. "
‘ Haah, hah. That’s easy for you to say. You only know the part of me that apologises afterwards. ‘ The current cadence was once in two hundred days. Can’t be healthy for him anywhere past 50, if he’d make it that far. So much effort, but no change. All pain and no gain. Powerless, like maybe he’s meant to eventually feel.
‘ Human beings get angry. They don’t level cities. ‘ Bruce remembers waking up on the hostile flats of Iceland. He gives him a pointed stare, too pointed. They just needed a therapist between them to ask if there was anything either of them wanted to discuss.

❛ in about a minute, you’ll be sorry you didn’t listen to me. ❜
❛ is this seat taken? sorry, it’s a bit crowded here. ❜

Think about one of the things you would really like to do, try or learn. Do you plan to do it eventually? Why haven’t you done it?
as a hobby, diving deeper and using a rebreather; essentially scrubbing the carbon dioxide from what you breathe out and it goes back to you again. taking it slow, just currently having the time of my life mapping out some particular routes in wrecks cause there are over 40 routes through to the same room, and having it in memory. show me a hole and i likely know exactly where it is.
complementary to profession is to study for a cert cause i want to take the commission for myself rather than it go to an agent. an optimal use of my time since the knowledge can only benefit me. but easier said than done cause you'll probably miss alot of intakes just to sit for the exams cos competition is high, due to high failure rates.
25. Who is someone you admire?
i think energy is better spent focused on putting in the work you need to to achieve what you want; look at yourself and what you need to do to put yourself in a better position, to change yourself into someone who's more likely to be able to achieve what you want, rather than looking at everyone else around you and what they're doing, or looking at the people who have your definitions of success or who are what you desire, and doing nothing yourself. i know what i want, no compromises. it is a deep topic and serious and honest conversation you need to be having with yourself. what then if you have an arteriovenous malformation in your brain and its live demo from all that unchecked hard work today? what if you had died?
generally the ones no one gives a shit about, which make up around 60-70% of my muses. some of these consist of muses that were there for a screen purpose like someone's cheap love interest (especially the kind of muse christine palmer is) and i try to fill it into more of the whole person, whatever kind of whole person they are, with increased and real stakes. i don't care if they stay together. in certain ways, not all and not all the time, i don't care about canon and would really like the freedom to throw it all out.
there's beauty in almost everything and in each one of my characters. there are ways and paths to delve into even for giger aliens.
there are ocs whose stories are waiting to be unraveled, and i'm also very against forcing your oc down peoples' throats so i'd be happy to run the time just waiting.
What’s the first thing we’d see in your fridge?
no, if you're adhd you'll see everything. you know those milk companies that are now adding 30g of protein? some are cheaper than the cost of protein powder
Where would be the scariest place in the world to you? Why?
if i ever come to a point in my life where i think there's no one i can learn from, not even the youths. that's a dangerous place to be where i would have turned into too arrogant a person
IT BEGAN IN WHISPERED INSTRUCTIONS, hushed words uttered to silent attendings. await for the beasts to move on; risk not yourselves for those left behind. await until the flickers of dawn were overhead, a promise of a new day. it was as if a war had waged, earth littered with crimson &&. mangled corpses, the stench having twisted their noses once the beasts disappeared. searching for survivors, as instructed, tending to the dead &&. those near - death. silent prayers were uttered to give them peaceful passings; survivors were pulled from the mud, escorted towards places regarded as sanctuary for them.
she had wandered through the wreckage; the upturned earth clung to fine skirts, as golden hues peered through splintered trees. searching, seeking in silence before approaching what remained of him. he appeared bloodied; battered, heavily beaten. a sight that made woman's face contort, twisting with disgust, yet no sound escaped her. if not hardened by centuries, such a sight would have turned her stomach. fingers stained with blood, knowing what — who he was. not human, certainly, not with how blood pulsed quietly. no mortal could survive such an ordeal, against a foe so vicious. to fight monsters, one must be a monster. monsters with fierce appetites &&. tactics, the wolves were more monstrous in sight alone compared to their vampiric kin. she had taken him to shelter, with the aid of others, away from where sunlight might reach to cause damage. time would allow wounds to heal, the mending of flesh weaving back together.
❝ one must learn to be vigilant against an enemy; that is the way of this world, is it not? ❞ the military might of her world still remained within her bones; tactical brilliance was etched into her fingertips that held a bloodied cloth. padding away at the crimson that stained his face, watching with caution as flesh mended &&. healed over time. the resemblance of a man forming beneath the carnage of his face, eyes half - normal, bone cracking back into place. internally, she grimaced, wanting to heave at such a vision, but roman pride was still proudly carried. face neutral, lips pressed into a dreary line. ❝ you are safe, before you spring to tear at our throats. remain still — allow your wounds to heal with strain. if you need your preferred meal, i will see to it, though no life shall be taken for the sake of appetites. ❞
To her, perhaps a heartbeat, but to him, a showery darkness unrelenting turned to an adder’s skin wrapped to suffocate his senses, holding him within the shabby walls of his own meagre room (and which he’s walked so often, they already seem to him a vessel in which the souls who knew nothing of him in their daily contact and conversations without him achieved a fixity of whispers and betrayal beyond that of mere reparability). It provokes in him feelings of disgust, less fondness for Amelia, precise brushstrokes of her misdirection more swollen and lopsided than she thinks.
Yet golden eyes appear as an otherworldly pair, an outside cry seeking some lonelier warm place. Another feminine hand more wisened by the ancient surface self-absorption, the blur of meaningful with the meaningless, tugged aside in the moment by a distraction. He feels it, an inner drowsiness so great it overflows the bounds of self. Brain matter changes from inert, staring at itself as a latest novelty. His melted eyes become a substance more solid, filling back as an equal murmur of its previous form, shape, and colour. He can only stare at the off-white expanse of the marble bed with a thousand glassy abrasions of hatred. Then, too, pain covers the shards of him, each bone stumbling back from outside of him to in, engulfed in growing matter as long as hibernation felt.
Fallen among the rot, he takes his first breaths, the glimmer on the wall from the moon and the brave plume of fingers against his skin unshaking. Bare-bodied slopes push up by an arm.
‘ And if I do? ‘ Not hoarse, his voice is melodic instead, rolling waves of obscurity and a thorniness sent charging into battle. But flavour and sweat turns him just as inarticulate. Underneath his tongue begins to moisten. Markus draws in a deep breath, turning his head, lids closing in the always changing savour.
‘ Ah. Little effigies of flesh and fear. The room reeks of it. Fear sweetens the blood. It hastens the heart until every vein beats its own pathetic plea. Every one of them has already imagined my teeth in their throat. ‘
A swing of hips. His feet, bare, touch the stone floor, something sulphurous and malign bowled up for too long now released. But broken off from its path.
‘ Why did you not leave me to the dawn? ' The question a cloying hook, if it could in the back of a commanding militant. A rat writhing with maggots on a thorn, his blue eyes brightly curious watching it to tedium. ' Could have ended the turning of a cruel tide, a millennia more to come. ‘
