Plant Life [WIP INTRO]

TRIGGER WARNINGS: 

Animal death/torture, 

SYNOPSIS: 

Plant Life follows a nonbinary farmer named Bezi Plum and their increasing hatred for their hometown, Mapleberry Meadows. They meet Frederique Honey just as the animals around town start to go missing, and later turn up maimed, dead, or both. As Bezi and Frederique slowly fall in love, so does Bezi with the idea of leaving. 

TROPES/ETC: 

Friends to lovers, surrealism, low fantasy, adventuring, soft magick system, folklore, elves, elven love interest, tiefling rip offs, angst with a happy ending 

CHARACTERS: 

Bezi Plum: Bezi is our nonbinary farmer in question, and I’m actually still learning a little about them! They’re very reserved, very rational, logical, reasonable, all that stuff, but I’ve recently learned they’re actually a bit snarky. Love that for them. Pastel flower child as well. Not afraid to get dirty. 

Rose Marie: Bezi’s sister, Rose Marie is an emo ball of sunshine. She’s bubbly, she’s sweet, she’s training to be a vet, and she’s clever. She thinks quick on her feet and she loves everyone. 

Frederique Honey: Frederique is our local elven circus himbo! There’s a scene where he takes Bezi to a grove just because he thinks it’s pretty, proceeds to point out all the wisteria, says, “Look all all this lavender!” and then takes his shoes off to step in the field and the flowers bloom around him. That’s about what you need to know about him. 

Dodie: Sweet, soft-spoken, shy. Not much to know about her yet. 

Conan: >:) 

GOALS: 

To have as much fun as fucking possible. I haven’t felt this way about writing in a long time, and I’m so happy to get back to it. I ain’t about to push it if you know what I mean. 

Tagging some people that I love @gloriafrimpong @dib-leo-pard @shaelinwrites @woodhousejay @writinginslowmotion @kjscottwrites @annlillyjose

Ask to be tagged! Even if you were tagged here, because I’m starting a tag list from scratch and I don’t want to keep tagging people who don’t want to be tagged. So ask to be tagged starting now.

Hi! I’m writing an animated webseries musical about DID and I’m looking for systems to audition for certain roles. Is this something you’d be interested in? Thanks!

No and if you aren't a system I strongly discourage this because we already have plenty of bad DID/OSDD representation in the media. You can come at it with the best intentions but the reality is, unless you live with it, you really can't do it justice.

[milesgraybooks]

I am a system

[ephemeral-system]

Hi! I’m writing an animated webseries musical about DID and I’m looking for systems to audition for certain roles. Is this something you guys would be interested in? Thanks!

Ah, I don't believe so,,

Though we would love to watch it once things are established!

I don't think we'd have much to supply, though a few of us wouldn't mind answering questions if wanted, even if just for variety and different perspectives since systems can be quite diverse, as most things are!

We hope you'll be able to find some other systems to audition for the roles, and hope you have a nice day.

[milesgraybooks]

Thanks so much!! I’ll be sure to reach out when i need new perspectives :) 🖤🖤

hihi!!

that genuinely seems like an interesting idea - unfortunately we wouldn't be entirely comfortable with auditioning. if there's anything else you would like help with, we'd be more than happy to see if we would be able to help out. we would also love to see where this ends up, so if you could keep us updated either way, it would be super cool ! ^-^

[milesgraybooks]

Hey, thanks! We have an instagram currently titled DID.musical.2023 where we have updates on and just spreading the word would be super helpful!! I appreciate you responding and being honest with me!

[lisaslildarlings-deactivated202]

we don't have an instagram unfortunately, but we can definitely spread the word about your musical webseries. it'd definitely be interesting to see how DID is represented and such in your musical <3 best wishes with your project though! (+ gonna give you a follow bc you seem like a cool person!)

[milesgraybooks]

Thank you!!

As fun as it is to make fun of returning tumblr users, I’m actually surprised to see quite a lot artists coming back to test the waters and post their art on here again eventhough they’ve lost all momentum on here and/or naturally lost most of their followers because of the drought of activity. 

If you see an artist you haven’t seen post in awhile and they post their new art on here. Please give them a reblog and not just a like for their work. 

[cedar-west-deactivated20230408]

Any new writeblrs I can follow? I haven't been super active lately and my dash is kind of dead. My current project is realistic fiction, but I'm also a fan of fantasy and sci-fi, so I'll check out anyone who writes fiction.

Bonus points if you want to tell me about an interesting character dynamic. I need to be able to link more random songs to characters I've read about (for self-care reasons).

[milesgraybooks]

Bills are approaching and I’m getting close to freaking out. Reminder that i have a store and a patreon

Also my venmo is maxgraybooks and my cashap is chemcandles if you can spare anything

[writersaraheriksson]

Hi! I found you under the writeblr tag and I wanted to tell you about a free service I’m providing, which pairs up writing critique partners! Let me know if you’re interested :)

Hi there!

Oh? What does that entail? I have written a book and am writing different smaller stuff. ☺️

[milesgraybooks]

Basically anyone who fills out this survey will be added to the bank and I’ll get people who I think would be compatible in touch w each other!

[mellowtheoristwitch]

Reblog with who you are. I'm the bottled up

[blind-the-winds-deactivated2024]

Hey jax! I started a critique partner blind date service and I’m just asking around to see if anyone’s interested :)

Hey there! I have to admit I'm nowhere near ready for a critique partner yet, but!!

If you feed me a link to an info post about this blind date service, either through a reblog or just by shooting me a DM, I will:

Save it for when I am ready, because that sounds cool.

Reblog it so I can boost you.

Thanks so much! That sounds like it'll def be handy for the community, so for sure, thank you for setting it up! :D

[milesgraybooks]

Here you go!

Marmalade’s Love Potion ✨ Excerpt

Feeling queasy with nerves, Penelope waited until they had steaming mugs and a heaped plate of breakfast cakes set down before reaching to unwrap the parcel.

The Sisters watched as Penelope unwound the twine, then unfolded the thick green paper, revealing a small bronze painted box crafted from thick bark pulp.

Lifting the lid revealed a small, round disc of polished black quartz, opaque and smooth as a mirror. Next to the disc, and set within a thin black cushion, lay a tiny glass vial of green shimmering liquid.

Penelope lifted the vial from its cushion and held it to the light. The deep green liquid writhed and flashed, like clouds in a lightning storm.

Sister Rosin picked up the obsidian disc. It was blank on both sides, and fit neatly in Sister Rosin’s small palm. Setting it gently on the table, she looked to Penelope expectantly. “The equinox is a week from now,” Sister Rosin said. “What would you like to do?”
