I just realized I forgot to post an intro

Howdy! I go by Moth (he/him), I'm 23, and I'm hoping to find some fellow writers to be mutuals with! I started writing my first novel in 6th grade study hall (lost to time, unfortunately) and I've been writing ever since.

I write fantasy, realistic fiction, and poetry. I also dabble in sci-fi and romance

I've been worldbuilding for a novel I started in my senior year of college. I'm not sure if I'll post much about it, but I'll leave some details below just in case I do

This blog will mostly contain short stories, blurbs about characters I'm developing, and some poetry

I've got a couple of WIPs:

I'm writing a series of short stories/blurbs surrounding one specific character through the years. Each section will reveal more and more about her, but her name remains a mystery (for now). Read the her stories here: The Woman at the Bar, A Party in 1963, 1982 (Part 1) (Part 2) (Part 3)

I'm working on a longer sci-fi short story that follows the crew of a space station through a meteor shower that damages the station. I don't have anything ready quite yet, but I'm hoping to post part 1 sometime soon!

I'm frequently writing poetry, but the topics vary piece by piece. I write free-verse, for the most part, but I enjoy playing with forms like sestinas and haiku. Currently, these are the poems I have up: Haiku for the Deer on the Side of the Highway

I'm not sure if/how much I'll post about it, but here are some details about my novel:

I'm building the world from scratch. It's still in the early stages, but I've developed a few cities in which the novel is set. I've also been working on the main characters' cultures

It's somewhere-between-high-and-low fantasy (I'm not sure how else to describe it) and will follow the main characters in an attempt to save the kingdom of Lyhold from war.

One of the aforementioned main characters is Ailbhe (Al-va), a thief by trade. He's a member of a nomadic culture and is well-versed in all things plants. He's missing his ring and pinky fingers on his right hand and has a prosthetic that comes in handy in more ways than one (I'm so sorry).

The other main character is Gaheriet, a captain in the King's Guard (the official army of Lyhold). He doesn't remember anything about his childhood before the age of 11, when he joined the Guard to train as a knight.

There will be a romantic subplot (they're gay, your honor). There's a lot of lore between the two of them but if I had to describe it, it's friends to enemies to lovers (but Gaheriet doesn't know about the "friends" part).

Anyway, that's a bit about me! I'm always open to critique and I look forward to sharing more stories in the future. Feel free to send me a message or reblog if you'd like to be mutuals, and thanks for taking the time to check out my blog!

Writing is what I most love to do. I don't like constantly forgetting that because I'm eternally exhausted.

from the perspective of the fledgling at the smoke sesh

once, my mother told me of giants that roam the earth i have seen them now, up close they are towering, clumsy things; too large and loud to fear the foxes and coyotes that wander these woods

when i landed before them, frightened and new, they moved their 4-legged servants back to give me space amongst the ground they watched me, breathing clouds and speaking in their clunky foreign tongue, taming fire and passing an object between them, some holy relic that gifted them breath they made no move to attack, had no intention of eating me; instead, after some time, they released their 4-legged stewards, hid their relics and collected strange items, slinging them over their shoulders then, they vanished between the trees

many have seen the giants, wandering these woods, following their own tracks like deer many watch them from above, from the safety of the branches but i have met them in their home, the ground, the forest floor i have met them, eye to foot and i live to tell the story

me, quietly whispering to the ao3 page of an author who doesn’t even know I exist: I am obsessed with you

[newskyillusion]

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who hasn’t updated anything in four years: I think about you often and I hope you’re alright

[azrielgreen]

me, whispering to the ao3 page of an author who wrote one life altering banger and nothing else: I hope your pillow is cool and your skin is clear and you find money in a forgotten jeans pocket

[jezebelgoldstone]

me, whispering to every single person on this post: please leave one singular comment saying literally any of that

[valtsv]

being a symbolism enjoyer should humble you because at the end of the day no matter how eloquently you articulate it youre essentially saying "i love it when things have meaning"

my hobbies are Colours and Shapes but, like, in a mature, sophisticated adult way

the tragedy of love for making ocs paired with writers block and the inability to draw

[transsexual-feminism]

Today I wanted to talk about Kyle Bassinga. Kyle was a 21 year old man from Georgia, whose family described him as "a kind, thoughtful, and smart young man who loved nature, music, and the people around him". Kyle Bassinga was killed on February 18th 2026, just ten days after his birthday. He was found hanging from a tree in a park.

The police ruled it a suicide. The family and local community demanded an investigation. The police refused to change their ruling.

I know this website it too white for this to really go anywhere, but an understanding of the present reality of white supremacy in the United States is just so important to transfeminism here. Lynchings never stopped, white supremacy never went away, you just stopped looking.

Sigh. At least I have this.

writing is so fun until you run out of pre-planned plot and you stand at the precipice and slowly realise that you never really had a plot in the first place

If this isn’t the realest thing ever idk what is

this and also if you’re going to have people commission you for fics, if you’re going to link your ko-fi or ways for people to donate or give you money in any way, shape or form, make sure you talk about it outside of ao3. you can’t mention anything about money or donations on ao3, as it is against the site’s terms of service and yes, you absolutely can get reported for it.

link your tumblr on ao3 and then link your ko-fi all over your tumblr if you want. but don’t directly link your ko-fi, onlyfans, gofundme, patreon or any other monetization platforms on ao3.
