Si tan sólo en un minuto apreciaras lo que digo, sabrías por qué prefiero las plantas a los ramos de flores. Que soy fan de las caricaturas y los colores aún a los 30 años, y no tiene nada de malo. Que no me gusta hablar del trabajo cuando no estoy ahí. Que ya fui a esa ciudad y lo que tú dices está sobrevalorado. Que no quiero peluches, ni regalos, ni restaurantes caros. Que abrazo mucho las pequeñas cosas y mi definición de placeres sencilos es justo eso, placeres sencillos. Que no acumulo nada y si pudiera, sería yo y una maleta para siempre, en todos lados. Sabrías al menos mi color favorito. Que en un mundo material, me gusta ser aire. Que tú y yo no somos nada compatibles. Si escucharas tan sólo un poco sabrías que con el silencio también estoy diciendo algo.

Hay besos que se mandan a través de canciones. 💙🎧
Espero encontrar a alguien que me permita ser yo mismo, sin temor a ser juzgado o malinterpretado.
Your name literally sounds "I love you".
"Y entonces escuché a un viejo sabio con los ojos llorosos decirme, no temas a quien mata el cuerpo, teme a quien mata el alma, porque de ahí no hay regreso."
Vida-rota (seershwordl)
Oír mi nombre en tu boca, dulce canción entre tus labios, manjar apetecible que entre tu paladar y lengua se oyen como melodía de ángeles, cómo armonía de aves, cómo sinfonía del alma...
Se que mi nombre está seguro contigo, me amas y al pronunciarlo, una singular estrofa de amor florece, es un beso que me ofreces cuando lo dices con ese cariño innato que me obsequias.

SUMMARY; When a new patient who calls himself Yoska Menik and boldly declares he is a god arrives at The Maker’s Sanctuary—an insane asylum with a reputation built on less than holy monks, shrieking lunatics, and inhumane practices—he is quickly dismissed as a madman. While everyone believes Yoska Menik’s another deluded lunatic, Valentin, a fellow inmate harbouring a dangerous secret of his own, finds himself inexplicably captivated by him…even as increasingly strange occurrences begin to unfold around the asylum. As his relationship with Yoska Menik deepens, blurring the line between madness and sanity, Valentin must learn to navigate the treacherous path between his forbidden desires and the dangers they present.

Martja'ysa Bruheimer Isko-Sanni — A formerly wealthy divorcée who may or may not be able to commune with spirits. Moody, melancholic, prefers solitude.

OF ILL REPUTE is a WIP I began working on in 2018 and promptly dropped (for many reasons). However, as you can clearly see, I’m picking it back up again! If you’d like to know more about it and it’s world, here are two posts where I go into more detail about its setting. More posts about its worldbuilding (and characters) to come!
