Duke Karl's Chamber at Gripsholm Castle, is the castle's only fully preserved room from the Vasa period, and is one of the oldest Renaissance interiors in Sweden. The décor is virtually untouched since the chamber was created for Gustav Vasa's youngest son in the 1570s

title: twin primes

genre: dark academia high fantasy

setting: unsure how to describe. think industrialised lotr

features: fantasy higher academia, the intersection of magic & mental illness, academic rivalry built around a morally dubious authority figure, sibling hauntings, time loops if you squint, unpalatable victims, m/f central pairing but in a problematic and codependent way (that is the dog she kicks), a magic system best described as if dnd warlocks met annihilation, nd & lgbt characters, tw sa

influences: this is functionally my attempt at rewriting katabasis (rf kuang). other inspirations include annihilation (jeff vandermeer), harrow the ninth (tamsyn muir), howl's moving castle (diana wynne jones), and a combination of dnd 5e/call of cthulhu

draft: fighting through the 1st

summary:

Naira of Rosemont's life is finally in her own hands, and she hasn't hesitated in making something of it.

In a world where magic comes from outside it, requiring you to bend your mind in its shape in order to be accessed, Naira is the first of her family to step into its legacy– and from there, all should be smooth sailing. She's graduated with flying colours from her studies at an arcane academy, and is currently in the final stretch of her apprenticeship with prolific, similarly first generation archmage Art Rosemont. She should have a long and brilliant career spanning ahead of her as an archmage herself.

However, just as much as Naira pours herself into her future, so too is she struggling to hide the true state of her present– in attempting to bend her mind into managing magic, how can she face up to having accidentally broken it instead?

Having found something to care about for possibly the first time ever, Naira is loathe to let it go– and the stakes are higher than ever now that Art has taken on a second, naturally magically attuned apprentice under his wing, one waiting on her every stumble; let alone partnered him with her to investigate an advent of inexplicable magical phenomena.

Naira is willing to do more than anything to keep this life. Still, the more she pulls from magic the more it slowly but surely pulls back in turn, blurring her days, haunting her nights, and lending the terrifying question: by the end of her apprenticeship, how much of her will still even be her to appreciate it?

reblog and put in the tags a piece of fiction you would rewrite because it had potential but the writers just botched it.

#a taste of gold and iron by alexandra rowland #i have my own romantasy idea because it was so aggressively mid #not even mid #bad perhaps #the plot was a rather juvenile excuse for shoving the characters into tropey situations #the initial premise of 'prince inadvertently gives his blessing for his lover to launch a coup' was so interesting #only to go absolutely nowhere #then said lover isn't allowed to be mad when his life is handed over to the prince in its entirety #and the prince throws him over!!!#when your fantasy religion includes priestesses whose sole job is to therapise everyone #you've gone wrong #and when your main character is an uwu anxious bean whose emotions must be protected at all costs #you've made me detest him #anyway sometime i'll get round to writing my romantasy #where the MCs are such godawful people they need to marry each other so no one else has to suffer #this is a lie #quite a lot of people suffer from mel's antics regardless

What games have opened doors for you in real life?

choosing to make this about ttrpgs, given i don't really play video games... my GM's homebrew system tales of theon has opened a door into a wonderful friendship group, an incredible story that leaves me shaky with adrenaline after each session (positive) and only occasionally gives me emotional damage, and one of the most surprising, meaningful character arcs i've ever had the privilege of playing out!
