i know none of you will believe me. but this is a complete design coincidence. these two had faces before i even decided to read the song of achilles or the iliad. ive canned my own beans with this one and by god now i'm lying in them.

"Finally decided to show your face around here again?"

His tone is chilling. I can't think of anything to say, so I stay silent.

"Nothing to say. Of course."

i keep circling back to these two because they're so fun to write

I don’t know how long I’ve been here.

Sometimes I sit in the chair, sometimes on the floor, sometimes I pace the room. Most of the time I lie curled up next to Leander, staring into space. I’ve counted the freckles on his shoulders and memorised the tiny scar on the webbing of his right thumb. There’s one tuft of hair behind his ear that always sticks out no matter how many times I brush it back. Initially, I wished Leander good morning or good night, and talked to him about whatever I could come up with. I stopped after a while. He can’t hear me anyway.

It’s hard to sleep in a room with someone who doesn’t breathe. I would wake up in a panic, feeling Leander’s shoulder under my cheek, but not hearing his quiet snoring or the way he grumbles when he dreams. My hand would fly to Leander’s chest, desperately feeling for a heartbeat, cool relief washing over me when I felt its steady thrum under my fingers. I started sleeping with a hand on the left side of his chest after that.

“Can you paint?” 

“I can’t say I’ve ever tried.” 

“Wonderful! I can teach you tomorrow. If you’d like to visit me in the courtyard again, that is.” 

I almost tripped over myself answering. “Y-yeah!” Come on, man. Get a hold of yourself. “ Yes. I can do that.”

"If you ever change your mind... come find me. I'll wait for you."

"Promise?"

"Promise."

V ANNOUNCEMENT BELOW!! V

This is Thusias, the deuteragonist and titular character of THUSIA. What on earth is that? I hear you cry; It sounds awesome!

Well, I'm actually about 90% of the way through writing a book -- surprise! I started in mid 2023 and after a bit of a break I'm back on the grind.

I know up until now my blog has been basically all redacted audio content, and that's not going anywhere! This is me sort of launching my own content (on my own page, no less...) because I'm hoping to have my book published and available for purchase before the end of the year.

I've created two new tags to keep everything tidy -- #agp writes and #THUSIA . Anyone interested in seeing more of my characters (and I've got some fun stuff planned!) will be able to sort through it there.

That's all for now. Keep an eye out for more THUSIA content on the horizon, because there's a lot more to come!

AGP out 😎👍💥

[what do you MEAN the sequel is 65% complete?]

"And by 'pulled some strings', you mean…?" 

"I asked politely!" 

I narrow my eyes. Eridanus looks too proud of himself for this to just be a favour he's called in. I decide that I don't want to know.
