no i didnt copy and paste my previous intro but with dividers i like better whaat
hi im scrap aka quill (if u still call me mel out of habit its fine lol) (in the wise words of rin penrose, my pronouns are whatever is funniest for the bit.) most people on here call me some variation of scrap (scrap, scrappy, etc.) im going through a tiny identity crisis (prepare for new and more consistent branding!!)
i came to be in an ancient time in an ancient land. we didnt have to worry about stupid stuff like the government or gender back then. it was pretty chill. then a bunch of shit happened, and, somehow (i think there was some time travel happening in there idk it all sorta blurred together) i ended up here, in a land far across the ocean, where i do have to worry about the government and gender. yippee.
i think humans are generally pretty cool though! and i see how difficult it is for you in this world. thats why im on the internet. its a pretty good way to talk to people about it.
i like to write about people and about the world. i also draw sometimes even though i rarely post any art lol. i also wanna get more into making music but writing is the main thing for me
also, as an ancient being in the form of an 18 year old, im legally old enough to sue people 🔥🔥 so minors you can be here thats fine. just if you interact with me be mindful of the fact that i am no longer among your ranks 👍
this blog is cool with:
people of any race, ethnicity, culture, whatever
people of any sex or gender
lgbtq+ people (duh im one of u) (yes the whole community but the weird illegal ones dont count)
people of any religion/spiritual belief (just be chill about it)
disabled people (including neurodivergent people)
people struggling with mental health
anti genocide
anti genAI
PUNCHING NAZIS
and doing everything on main
so if you have a problem with any of that lowkey what are you doing here either go away or get educated
also if you ask me for money i will block you. if you are a hateful person who posts hateful things i will block you. if you make me feel uncomfortable or unsafe i will block you. thankfully i havent interacted with many hateful people on here. i would like to keep it that way
current hyperfixation song bc i need more people to know about my absolutely peak music taste: actually we're between songs rn but i guess i play girls & boys by blur more than once whenever it comes up
anyway now for the fun part :DDDD

Fairfable

What will hopefully become an indie animated series about young broke fantasy creatures moving into a tree together as part of a chain of events fated to occur. They all have their own issues, and all they think they're getting is some roommates to share the financial burden of their new home. Little do they know that there's a lot more in store for them.
Lynx is hoping that having her own space will make everything feel less overwhelming. Sal wants to be anywhere but his mother's house. Zing's there for shits and giggles—at least that's what they tell everyone—and Shailyn likes the tree too much to just leave it at the mercy of new tenants. And Nema's inexplicable visions seem to be pointing toward a future that brings them all together in ways that even she can't imagine.
Gildamore
click on the title for the intro post (ignore the content label idk why its there) and lmk if you want to be on the taglist :D
It always starts when you turn fifteen.
[insert super cool and intriguing blurb here cause i fear i still havent written one (the old one is outdated cause the story has gone through so many changes lol)]
Gildamore has a long and convoluted origin story, but I'll spare you the details for now. It's become what will be a series of 5 novels about two characters getting shipped off to magic school and becoming besties very early on. Unfortunately they also both begin crushing on each other at the same time. They are terrible at hiding it, but Lav has no ability at all to pick up on social cues, and Aeryth is just clueless in general (i love her sm.) This one's probably gonna be more slice of life (HAHAHAHAHAHAHAA OH MY HAHAHA NO ITS FUCKING NOT LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO), and it was always gonna end up being at least 75% fluff (ok thats still true but THAT 25% HAHAHAHAHAHAA.) Gildamore is entirely my excuse to write cute romance with a side of emotional devastation and they save the world cause they're cool like that™. Well, not exactly "save the world," but close enough. And when I say emotional devastation I mean after reading one of the scenes my friend said smth to the effect of "i want to both cry and punch you" so yeah lol
my cousin (not the one im gonna force into helping me with fairfable music. different cousin. this one is a party pooper. he would make a poop joke right here because i said that. hes a grown ass man. i love him lmao) is mad about it being ya tho. its not even ya. throughout the series the characters ages range from 15 to like 20. also there are more no no words than the typical ya fantasy book. the magic system is cool as shit tho im really proud of it
Still Shine The Stars
can i draw my own characters consistently: the saga (click on title for intro and lmk if u wanna be on the taglist) :D
Do you hate capitalism? Do you think oligarchy is a terrible way to run a country? Do you think Donald Trump should get impeached and go suck a cock? (update as of november 2025 turns out he already did that lmao) Well then have I got the political cartoon disguised as a high fantasy story for you!
Life is good for Beatrix. Sure, they won't let her learn magic even though she's of age because she's "not ready." But, as the king's niece, she's entitled to a lot of perks.
But all that changes when her chambers are broken into one night by two masked strangers, and she is torn away from the life she's always known. The two strangers—Kyren and Silas—take her out into the wider world, where she learns that maybe life isn't all it's cracked up to be in the confines of noble society. And when a lifelong street urchin named Madge joins their group in search of a way out, Beatrix comes face to face with the cosmic gap between Madge's life and her own. It unsettles her.
So their little rebellion has four members now.
That's the premise for the first volume anyway. Each of the five main characters (I really like doing a main 5 don't I) gets one (yes I know there's only 4 in the synopsis. Elodia comes in later.) Yet another huge long-term project. But that's what happens when you want to overthrow an entire regime of old men too rich for their own and anyone else's good.
Once There Were Dragons
a fanfic to replace the monstrosity that is dragons the nine realms. click on the title to read it on ao3 :D
Once, there were dragons. Supposedly. Sigrid doesn’t actually believe any of the stories. Who would? She isn’t a child anymore, and she’s outgrown myths at this point. Of course, all of that changes when she discovers that maybe there’s some truth in the legend.
It all starts with an exceptionally strong earthquake.
With the help of a new scaly companion and the new kid on Berk, she embarks on a quest to protect new discoveries against all odds and prepare the world for an impossible but necessary change.
I don't update this fic often (my sincerest apologies to the three whole people who have bookmarked it.) I promise I do intend to finish it at some point. You're just gonna have to wait 3-5 business months between chapters. (*coughs in i havent posted a new chapter since may. like may 2025.*)
