WIP: POSSESSIONS

pitch: Angelique Lovett has a camera, a car, and a dead little sister. These assets lead her to a near-abandoned rural town, said by her ex to hold explanations for things most people can't understand. Magic. Monsters. Ghosts. Angel's explorations start out nothing more than strange, but when she meets two young men who claim to be possessed and a girl who insists upon her ability to see their entangled futures, she falls into a new world entirely.

genre: urban fantasy, supernatural mystery

setting: a lakefront Canadian town in 1996; "the dead world", or, the world under the world

themes: loss/grief, autonomy, abuse of power, misogyny

cast: Angel, an amateur paranormal investigator. Oliver, an entertaining but tightly-wound academic. Corey, a quiet and cunning engineer. Rowan, Angel's elusive ex-girlfriend. Beatrice, the girl who can see the end of the world. Hope, the one living under the rest of them.

status: outlining. Aiming for a duology or trilogy (depending on where pacing and story take me).

If you recognize any of these characters, yay! Yippee! Wahoo! This is indeed my reboot of WIP GFS/GFW. It will follow the same character dynamics and tone, and stay generally within the fantasy realm, but this time around contain more supernatural and horrific elements to help maintain the dark fantasy grit. It doesn't necessarily sound like it from the summary, but this story will indeed delve into gods and magic in a similar way GFS did, if a bit more esoteric/indirect. My main goal is to maintain the characters that I was so obsessed with and people were so kind about before!

Aspects of this story will be quite different, as I am in fact now 18 years old instead of 14 years old and condensing this from a 5 book epic fantasy to a 2 or 3 book portal/urban fantasy, but I hope if this piques your interest or if you liked GFS all those years ago you'll come along for the ride ^_^

"I want to be with you, that’s all, and I want the court to continue to recognize that.”

“With… me…?”

“Live together. Go on trips together. Argue over which pastas to buy for dinner. Do our own thing a lot of the time, gods know we both need our alone moments. Sit quietly in the same room, reading different books, not speaking. Support each other through the important things. Relentlessly make fun of each other for the petty things.”

“You want to be friends.”

“I want to be with you forever. Call it friends, if you want. It doesn’t really matter to me. I just want to be partnered with you, as long as I can. I want a loveless marriage, and I think you do too.”

“You don’t know… I’m unreadable. You don’t know what I want.”

Tasya leaned forward. “Tell me, then.”

Rowan blinked. Rowan swallowed. Rowan considered the fact that no one had ever really asked what she wanted before. Rowan had a very brief, very controlled mental spiral about that.

Rowan, said, “I want a cat. If we do that, I mean. The cat is non-negotiable to the whole package.”

“Obviously.”

hi there! can you tell me a bit about your gay fairytail series? I saw you tagged the bloody bisexual post with a character from it and now I'm curious :>

sorry i forgot i had this ask. in my defense i have 111 of them

anyway!!!! yes i can

so it's kind of going through one of its millions of small-level overhauls right now but in general, GFS (not its real name but the title changes so often that it has become "gay fairytale series" for simplicity) is a loose fairytale retelling (specifically cinderella, though other influences are present as well). emphasis on loose.

on a plot level, it's about four teenagers and a fallen god who have been informed they are likely to end the world, and the best way to stop this is to sever ties with the puppeteering elite trying to cause this in the first place. said elite are glad to play a cat and mouse game, and invite the group to a high-status masquerade ball where every move will cost someone something.

on a thematic level, it's about various reactions to trauma and emotional abuse. while i 100% value the original story of cinderella as a girl who stayed incredibly kind and open through years of hurting (and themes of kindness and caring are integral to the whole thing), i wanted to explore what happens when cinderella becomes... paranoid. closed-off. survivalist. a bit of an asshole.

the characters are Angel (a paranoid gardener and petty con artist), Oliver (the bloody bisexual! theatre kid, Weird About God, deeply cares about his family), Corey (unhinged inventor who constantly wants to prove himself), Bea (prophet who doesn't know who she is yet), and Hope (fallen god with everything to prove). Rowan (an assassin, a puppeteer, a puppet) is also pretty important, especially later on.

behold ! gay people i made up ! who definitely one hundred percent get to be this happy in the actual writing, definitely, don't check the details !

anyway they are. how you say,,, T4T. ta da

[ID: a drawing of my OCs Oliver and Corey from the waist up. Oliver is a nonbinary person with dark brown skin, short brown locks, brown eyes, a purple vest, and a white shirt. Corey is a trans guy with pale skin, green eyes, glasses, a dark turtleneck, and messy blonde hair. Corey's arms are around Oliver and he is looking at them with cartoon hearts floating around his head. Corey is labeled, "loser", and Oliver, who is smiling and talking at him, is labeled, "Somewhat oblivious". The background is pink. end ID]

Ooh what mobility aids do your characters hav. Sorry I am asking many questu8ns

dw i really like talking about disability in my stories!!!! i'll specifically talk about the ones in gfs because those are the blorbos i'm thinking of today

hope uses an offset cane or forearm crutches, depending on the day. they're colourful and fun because hope wants to own something NICE, goddammit

[ID: a picture of a shiny green offset cane with a green and black handle, and a picture of one pink forearm crutch with a grey handle. end ID]

^ this is kind of how i picture it

corey, once he develops ME/CFS after the events of book 2, uses a cane regularly and a wheelchair occasionally. i imagine his aids would look like this (click to actually see the cane picture lol)

[ID: a picture of a sleek black cane with a fancy handle, and a medical-looking grey and black wheelchair. end ID]

he has a very nice cane because he's acknowledged he does need that so if he's gonna have one, he wants it to at least be fancy. however, his wheelchair is pretty "medical" till much much later because he wants it to feel like it doesn't belong in his life, it belongs in a hospital. (even though it DOES belong in his life.)

tasya has to use a variety of mobility aids after the midpoint of book 4 when she sustains a severe injury to her legs & doesn't significantly recover. most commonly, a wheelchair, though she can get by with a cane if she has to (again click to see lol)

[ID: a comfortable-looking purple wheelchair and a purple offset cane with a black handle. end ID]

tasya is very quick to accept this new development into her life. as long as she can keep working with dragons (which she can, and in fact her dragon Silver acts somewhat like a service dog at times), she's all good, and she's also glad to show off her subtle sense of style through the aids she uses.

(other characters have non-mobility related aids as well, but these are, like, the "these things help you walk" aids some of my characters use)

I WROTE A THING FOR GFW3

it just. crashed the first time. so... second time's the charm! hopefully!

taglist, taglist... uhhh @e-the-village-cryptid @void-fireworks @albatris maybe? i think u asked to be on my taglists? uhhh @idkjustgowithitok perhaps, @strawberrystarcake, and maybe @wherearetheplants

cw nihilism. but the optimistic kind, and blah blah i have copyright to what i wrote. anyway here it is

“Glass half full, love.” Corey grabbed his hands, pulling him from the table. “Nothing matters. There is no plan, besides that pesky thing of Fate’s that we still have a chance to wreck. There is no one greater being watching over us. At best, we have Time, Life, and Death, but they don’t care. Nothing matters to them, nothing is predestined for us. We can do whatever we want. We can decide what matters.”

“I suppose that’s nice,” Oliver admitted. Corey started to pull him along, a slow near-waltz without a music note to be heard. “What matters to you?”

“A few things.” Corey tilted his head, as if thinking. “You. People in general, I suppose, but you in particular. The universe doesn’t think you matter, but I definitely do.”

“Thank you?” Oliver didn’t know whether to be touched or insulted. “Is there anything else, or am I special?"

“Hmm,” Corey said again. “The fate of the world. Our other friends. Mental health. That you’re committing a lab safety violation by being in here without proper equipment.”

“You do not care about lab safety.”

“I don’t care about lab safety when it may be preventing something cool. That is not the same thing.” Corey’s tuneless waltz had brought Oliver to the edge of the striped caution lines on the floor, and he now gently pushed Oliver past it. “There. Lab safety.”
