hi im estelle, welcome to my blog!!!

i'm a (relatively new) writer, holly munro devotee, and locklyle enthusiast :) i write mainly for lockwood and co, but have also branched out to the pjo fandom and might possibly eventually post some of my grishaverse (and maybe merlin?) works!!

this is a safe space for all people. dni if you are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, and all that stuff. standard rules apply y'all, please have basic respect for each other if you are on my blog :)

revisiting old work or the first chapter of a wip is such an interesting experience because I have zero memory of writing these absolute bars. like hello? who possessed my spirit and wrote that?

My friend just told me that there is a funeral museum in Vienna and they have merch and all I'm gonna say is that these are owned by Mr Anthony John Lockwood

(For everyone that does not speak german: they say: "I can see the undead")

yeah i’m writing again. yeah i put on the same songs on loop in order to focus. yeah i opened the same document 14 times today without writing anything. it’s called playing with the idea of writing. look it up

Every unhinged fic writer needs an equally unhinged friend who "yes ands" their ideas and encourages them to write all their most far fetched and insane stories.

Reading my own fanfiction is basically just a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash.

20% of the time: “Hold on. I wrote this? This is fire. This is emotionally devastating in the best way. This scene is dripping with tension. I’m a literary perfectionist. Someone give me a book deal.”

80% of the time: “Straight to jail. Immediate prison. Why is everyone’s breath hitching?. I used the word ‘gaze’ three times in one paragraph like I was possessed. Did I think 'his eyes darkened' was profound? Why is everyone clenching their jaws? Why is someone whispering 'their name like a prayer' again?? No one talks like this. What is this dialogue. Why are there so many weird metaphors and em-dashes…”

“First and foremost I’m writing for myself,” I hiss through my teeth, resisting the urge to refresh my email for an Ao3 message for the 100th time.

A major problem of being a writer is falling in love with your side characters. You want to explore them, want to share every detail you created for them, show them off to your readers. The pain of not letting them outshine the main character is real.

sometimes you need dialogue tags and don't want to use the same four
