Writeblr Introduction :)

Hey writeblr world! 

A little bit about me: I go by Mysky (she/her), I’m Dominican/American and I’m 24.

I’ve had a tumblr main blog for years, mostly reblogging memes about whatever book or tv show I’m watching at that moment ( @fan-girl-too-hard ) but I decided its time to start a writing blog!

I’m sort of “revamping” myself in relation to my writing this year. I’ve being writing since I was 11, but I’ve had a Wattpad account since I was 14. I gain a following when I started in 2012, but I no longer associate myself with the writing I did at that age. I went through high school and college and have gain knowledge I hope I can apply to new and improved versions of those novels. 

My first attempt at “revamping” was in 2017 with a new Wattpad account, but then I decided to take a break from Wattpad in total, which ended up lasting three years. 

In the past two months, I decided to get back into writing! I’m currently finishing a sequel to an old novel for any of those still reading on my first account, while also rewriting two of my old novels for my new account.

In addition, I decided to start this writeblr! I’m excited to join the writing community on tumblr and hopefully gain some new writing friends :) I just started this blog so it’ll take me a few weeks before I start posting my own writing! I’m currently building my WIP pages :)  

My WIPs

I mostly read and write YA fiction, usually fantasy, action and adventure. Basically, if it has magic, enemies to loves, or spies/assassins, I’m there! 

Back to Life - YA zombie novel about a group of ex friends that are forced to travel across the country to their a new home. 

Told in alternating third person POV between the main four. Part of a larger series with planned two sequels :) 

Heart of the Line - YA Spy novel about a girl who takes up a recon mission for the secret service as an internship for her spy boarding school only to find out this mission isn’t as easy as she thought- nor is handling the President’s son ;D 

Told in first person POV. A 2 book series and part of my Piink Universe (the world where three of my stories take place) 

*The baby versions of these are posted on Wattpad, if you choose to read them please remember they no longer reflect my writing ability! :)*

Other ideas I hope to start this year: An assassin falls for her target (piink), A boarding spy school student catches the attention of a serial killer (October) and a story born out of the prompt: The dragon saves the princess from the Knight (Prince of Fire) 

Don’t be shy! Follow me on here if my WIPs interest you (I follow back) and don’t forget to follow me on wattpad, where my WIPs will be posted. I can’t wait to get to know some of you! Don’t forget to like and reblog! Happy reading :)

Sad that my favorite series has ended, but grateful we were able to get the ending we deserved (& the ENDGAME)  If you love fantasy, humor, adventure, corruption arcs, redemption arcs AND slow-burn-to-explosive romance, read The Kinder Poison by Natalie Mae!!! Look at them

Take my crappily done meme as sustenance for your Lockwood & Co content craving

He don't own no jeans, guys. This 16 year old man does not own a pair of jeans. It is simply not his aesthetic

In The Screaming Staircase, Lockwood is wearing those striped rich person pajamas when Lucy wakes him up. What I'm saying is that having him sleep shirtless was a Choice

[lucy-j-carlyle-deactivated20231]

the right choice

SHADOW AND BONE | 1.02 | LOCKWOOD & CO | 1.03

Friendship is not background noise to your love life!!!! Friends are not secondary characters in your romance plot!!!!

Fall in love with your friends! Treat them well! Treasure your friendships!

[letswritestories101]

we stan friendship in this house!

[hrtgallant]

on the subject I also really appreciate how lockwood&co handle their worldbuilding and exposition by informing us right away what's going on in the intro. most teen shows just include a badass lineup in their opening number but this show decided to go full 'everything changed when the ghost nation attacked'

[oceanspray5]

THIS SCENE IS SO MULTI-FACETED AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND I HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT!

Anthony being touch starved and Lucy touching him so tenderly like that affects him so much from the get-go obviously cuz it fulfills that need. It also highlights their quickly burgeoning feelings/connection with each other but in the CRUELEST way cuz the reason she's touching him is not because she wants to but because she's possessed.

But, its not only just that she is acting in love with him (making the connection between them so hard to ignore) when its not really her that hurts but she's acting as if she loves him while he (his role) is HURTING her. With Anthony's past being so traumatic, you just KNOW he internalizes that shit even though its not really even Lucy talking and its not even him she's talking about. It hurts him to have Lucy act in love with him but also she's acting as if she has to FIGHT to believe he's not hurting her. She's acting as if loving him is causing her physical pain and that's horrifying for him cuz the one thing Anthony absolutely believes is that he hurts the people he loves. So to be slapped in the face with his growing feelings for Lucy but in a way that pulls at all of his trauma strings in the harshest soul twisting way?

Right after that you have Lucy reliving how Annabel choked to death to seal the traumatic incident with a cherry on top, finalizing Lockwood's internal fear that he kills the people he loves and is left alone.

Not to mention as the series goes on we see that Anything absolutely cannot STAND the idea of having hurt Lucy or her being unhappy with him even though he makes stupid decisions. Almost as if this incident triggered in him a crippling desire to never hurt her... So she'd never look at him like that again. Like he's everything... But also as if he destroyed everything in her to the point she fears him.

So in quick summation we have:

Lucy acting in love with Anthony under possession of a ghost while he very much does have growing feelings for her; and the love the ghost in her playing out being an abusive kind, the kind you have to convince yourself isn't harmful, forcing Anthony to relive his trauma and self-depreciate even more about the fact that it's hard to love him because all he can leave behind for his loved ones is hurt. Combine that with the traumatic way she relives Annabel's death and Anthony's genuine worry of Lucy's possession being... well... dangerous as is.

This scene is so beautifully acted. Ruby and Cameron's chemistry is insane. The way they portrayed that much range of emotion in such a short but impactful scene early on.

EDITED TO ADD: I also forgot to talk about the costuming cuz its the softest we've seen Lockwood in the whole series. All three characters are in their pajamas but Lockwood specifically is in a simple gray hoodie. Something that invokes comfort and relaxation. He's tense during the scene because of the situation but he's completely vulnerable as well. There's absolutely nothing for him to hide behind. No witty quips will work when Lucy can't hear him and he's fearing for her life, no physical force can be used to fight her either... And his emotional barriers are all down too. Not only because of the unexpectedness from the multi-targeted assault on his emotions but because he didn't exactly have time to prepare for such a thing occurring either. @locklyleiscanon pointed this out i think but Lockwood uses his suit as an armor. And he's not wearing it. There's no weapons near him. He's completely defenseless when it comes to Lucy in this moment as well as all the warring emotions that are overtaking him.

The first time I watched the scene my first thought was literally how soft and vulnerable Anthony looks. I didn't even have reference for the rest of the show (that he wears suits almost always) but it was a striking detail. Not just the vulnerability on Lockwood's face but in his body language and clothing as well.

Here's an edit I saw that made it all easiest to visualize and word for me:

Props to the person who made the edit cuz the close up scene and the slow motion at Just the right moment makes this so plainly visible to see.

This incident is simultaneously the best and worst thing to happen to Lockwood regarding his feelings for Lucy. It shows him early on just how much he needs her, but reminds him of all the reasons why he can't have her.

Lucy grilling Lockwood about how he knows Flo the moment they leave like??? Girl chill he literally put a band-aid on your wrist you are legally married

[kindness-ricochets]

Lockwood may well be, in his heart, petrified of being left behind again, but what makes him reserved isn’t a refusal to be hurt but a refusal to inflict it on others.

On this blog we stan an empathetic bastard.

not enough Lucy-skull moments

The Sweetest Betrayal, the conclusion of The Kinder Poison trilogy is FINALLY OUT! If you love fantasy, humor, adventure, corruption arcs and redemption arcs or slow-burn-to-explosive romance, give this trilogy a try!

[beautifulsparklythings]

No, YOU don't understand. Lockwood wasn't speechless when Lucy asked what was wrong with him because he didn't wanna confess his romantic feelings for her,

he was speechless because what was wrong with him was that he had suicidal tendency, he had basically begged for Winkman to kill him after recklessly making a rash plan to get the glass, and when Lucy asked what's wrong with him, that was definitely the answer

[lockwoodshitposting]

Lost focus and had a consensual workplace relationship

[crowcaws]

Love how Lucy's like "I'm Lucy CAR-lyle" and Anthony just went "mmhmm mmhmm cool anyway This Is My Associate, Lucy car-LYle"
