About Me!

I go by Rose online, but any variation of Ink or Moth, is also acceptable! I used to go by the username Forrgotenrose, before deciding I needed a fresh start, which is where InkedMoth began.

I’m 33, female, INFP, living in England, cis and most likely demi-bisexual. I’ve been on tumblr for Way Too Long, and the internet for Even Longer. Currently I only work 2 evenings a week, with the occasional overtime plopped in to mix it up a bit, this does however mean I have a LOT of free time!

If I'm not writing, I'm drawing, and if I'm not drawing, I'm writing!

As a hobby artist, I draw simply because I enjoy creating headworlds, characters, and species, and want to share them with the world. I also do tons of writing also based on my own characters and stories! While it would be amazing to one day publish my stories or art, this is in no way a true goal of mine, I’m simply enjoying the worlds I’ve created!

This past year I've gotten into fanfic writing, specifically for Lord of the Rings, although I may branch out into other fandoms at a later date. This has been a welcome change of pace, as playing in another's world has freed me from getting too bogged down in developmental details.

My ask box is open, although anon is typically turned off unless taking requests, so feel free to drop me a message!

Chapter 2 Posted!

His voice trailed off with a pensive frown, prompting his closest advisors to share concerned glances. “It seems… she knows of War Drobe, and Spare Oom,” Caspian admitted. This revelation was rewarded by sharp inhales of surprise. “Does she know the Pevensies?” Trumpkin asked. “She must be from those same lands!” Reepicheep exclaimed, “perhaps she has news of them?” “She’s made no mention of them,” Caspian was quick to quell the rising excitement, not that he could do much to dissuade his own. “But we only spoke for a few minutes, and the girl was exhausted. Anyone would have thought she’d swam here.” Ash-Lynn certainly had been soaked through, dark hair slicked to her pale face, grey eyes wide and terrified, but reddened, as though she’d been crying. Perhaps the shock of finding herself in strange circumstances had been enough to blanch her skin, or maybe she hailed from a land with little sun.

A very short chapter this month as it's introducing both Caspian's POV, but also a handful of Narnian characters!

I have been a busy little bee this afternoon, working on compiling a whole bunch of fashion references for Of Shifting Sands.

Basically what I like to do whenever creating a new character (or in this case, culture) is compile a whole bunch of images via pinterest and google and set up my own moodboard. That means I can arrange them to my liking, circle key parts of outfits which I like the most, and basically pick and choose my own fashion for the character/s.

Now with this, I wasn't doing it just for Zivaith, but all her family and people too, which a lot 🫠 Realistically this is focusing on the upper class, since the lower classes wouldn't have time to lounge around their home or attend fancy-smancy balls.

But it's a fun thing for me to do and hone in on what key points stand out and what I find most important!! Honestly feel like I have a much clearer view of her as a character and what her home is like now.

Snippet from a future chapter for Stolen Time!

“Be a dear and shift over,” Ellasin was saying, flapping a hand at Trumpkin and earning an eye roll from the dwarf, but he switched chairs without too much protest. That done, she dropped into the vacated seat and all but dragged Ashlynn down with her. “Now you simply must tell me where you got that necklace from, it’s beautiful.” “Oh thank you,” Ashlynn replied, hand automatically lifting to touch the gold pendant hanging from the slender chain, “it was my mothers.” “She has impeccable taste,” Nuria –sat to Ashlynn’s left– commented, “it’s very finely made.” A gold ring, bisected by a stylised branch, and perched on it was a bird with distinctive head crest. While a little ruby was embedded in the gold, taking the place of an apple or cherry. “Her surname before she married was Larkin, so this is a skylark to remind her of family,” she explained, omitting the fact her mother divorced and reclaimed her maiden name, as did Ashlynn, and instead let the woman and snow leopard inspect it. “My grandfather commissioned it from a jeweller for my mothers wedding.”

shocking how much of writing is putting down a sentence and then thinking, "okay, but now a less shitty version of that"

Bathroom before painting began! Classic new build off white on all four walls. So bland, so boring. But not for much longer.

Also please pay attention to the STUPIDEST design choice of architecture. A narrow strip alongside the window, UNDER part of the window and then down alongside the sink. Absolutely stupid design, why didn't they lift that bath-end-box to the height of the window? While didn't they tile between the sink and bath? Stupid.

[inkedmoth]

Four hours later, and I've made HELLA good progress!

The ceiling will also be cinnamon colour, and then the last big wall is going to be red-orange!

[inkedmoth]

Only two hours today but touch ups and ceiling done! Tomorrow might be more touch ups or another ceiling layer.
