lythra, inspired by emma d'arcy
anamnesis (1.6k | M | act 2 | m/f | complete)
Sentient flesh, bitten kisses cooling on swollen, wetted lips. She existed, she felt. Corporeal if not real. Something between his teeth.
What does a body remember? Lythra doesn't know who she is yet, but she's beginning to suspect.

ummm a huge thank you to @kalmiaphlox who just surprised me with this drawing of lythra?? !
look at her, she's beautiful. it means the world that my little weirdo durge occupies any time in anyone else's brain <3
which fictional character is your oc?
thank you @pinkberrytea for the tag!
rules: answer this quiz for your oc and select three characters that match your character the most.
✨lythra✨
gregory house • yennifer • paul spector • kat stratford
gregory house (house md): isolated/antisocial, self destructive, recklessly pragmatic, ignores illogical rules.
(if you've seen house and you know the context of that specific image, well. lythra would 1000% do that.)
yennifer (the witcher): intelligent, unflinching, powerful.
[ignoring the nonsense netflix version]
lythra, like yen, is fiercely loyal to those important to her. there's something deeply romantic to me about geralt and yen's relationship in the books. two individuals who exist entirely independently of one another for much of the time.
paul spector (the fall): obsessive, dangerous, delusional
the story I write about lythra is named after this show. which could mean nothing.
kat stratford (10 things I hate about you): secretly vulnerable behind the "attitude", actually might just want someone to be nice to her. not that she'd ever admit it.

your oc as a flower thank you @bloodinwine and @verbenaa for the tags!
the flower I associate most with lythra is geranium. there are a lot of different types of geranium - she wears rose geranium oil as perfume, and you can see red geranium (pelargonium) in @slothquisitor's gorgeous art above. more generally, geraniums symbolise determination, folly, confidence and deceit. I think they represent her quite well.
