decided to make an actually useful pinned post so here we go:
i have a newsletter that goes out every so often with my thoughts on things, what i'm reading, and occasionally a look at my original wips. it's totally free bc this is just a little thing i do for fun. subscribe if u want! here's the link
all of my writing can be found under the 'my writing' tag. edits, usually book edits, are under 'my edit'.
my ao3 is aryelee and every fic i post in here is also posted over there so if youre having trouble finding something, that's where you should go!
all my random thoughts are tagged as 'rambles' and when i live blog the comics im reading, i use 'comic read' so block either of those if you don't want me clogging ur dash.
below the cut is a look at all of my wips at the tags i use for them
ORIGINAL WIPS
this darkness swallows us whole ; the very first wip i ever started when i first began writing. it's a hot mess with too many uncompleted first drafts, but i love it so much. demons, gray morality, and one mute girl ready to start throwing hands.
- #camellia
every other face ; superhero wip! with a villain taking in a child and trying to live a normal life despite the hero, her main nemesis, constantly popping in to make sure the kid is safe and she hasn't decided to cause trouble.
- #caerleon community
past the pages ; isekai wip focusing on the characters trying to figure out what went wrong when the 'villainess' goes missing, ruining the happy ending the protagonist was expecting
- no tag yet! will update once i post about the wip on here.
DC
these aren't wings, they're futures ; in which tim and damian travel back in time to when jason was robin, and try to make this new timeline better while avoiding being caught by the bats for the illegal things they're doing as very young children.
- ao3 link
- #these arent wings
medium!tim verse ; in which tim is a medium who helps ghosts. three timelines planned: canon, polaris, and civilian.
- ao3 link
- #medium tim verse
manako ; my dc oc, a very tired, no nonsense baker in gotham who doesn't want to deal with bats begging for snacks in the middle of the night. ocs everywhere, and a look into the community of gotham and the life of civilians.

my askbox is always open if you want to know more about any of these!
got a crick in my neck and a frog in my throat and a chip on my shoulder and a stick up my ass and now you're gonna stand there puttin words in my mouth? haven't I been through enough?
Part of my process is admittedly reading a lot of trash between working on chapters. I go and seek out popcorn material. I crawl through webtoon for low grade villainess isekai and reincarnation dramas and read maybe 20 chapters before getting bored. I find shit tier manga and read every chapter. Every anime season I find the most mid show in the lineup and eye it for a rainy day.
This part of the process is so important though because I walk away thinking hard about how I would Make It Good and that's the secret sauce for really stretching the brain muscles
the worst writing crime you can ever commit in my opinion is watering down the dirty talk because you’re self-conscious that it sounds like it’s from a bad porno…..i cannot stress this enough……leave it alone. the moment you tell yourself he would not fucking say that you’re doomed. people will say almost anything if their dick is hard enough
chasing cars by snow patrol really hits harder everytime i listen to it like,, what if i DID just lay here???? would u lie with me and just forget the world??????? please???????????
