Summary

I had hoped my past would have the decency to leave me alone. I spent most of my adult life burying my past, and any spare moments were spent trying to forget. So when I received a letter that seems to have been written by me, to me, from 20 years ago, I’m not impressed. The last thing I wanted to so was unearth my messy history, but when your 11 year old self is begging for help it’s hard to ignore.

THE WICKED WAYS OF WAYWARD WITCHES // EDEN CRUZ

“my name is eden cruz.” her cape billowed behind her as lightning flashed overhead. “and i am the new supreme.”

BASIC INFORMATION // seventeen years old, she/her, lesbian

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION // wild curly brown hair, light brown eyes, freckles all over her face, pale skin, callouses and cuts all over her hands

EXCERPT //

her memories are a mess of jumbled pieces bouncing around in her mind. she catches small glimpses of every little thing, but she can’t manage to put any of it together.

she sees a rough mountain peak, but she doesn’t know where it is. she sees a tall woman with her same wild hair, but can’t pin a name down. she sees a tiny little cottage buried in the back of a forest, but deep down she knew she’d never be able to find it again

instead, eden has to look at what she has.

she has santiago, her friend and crow familiar, perched on her shoulder. she has helena, who makes her heart beat fast and her face flush red, only a ten minute walk away. she has jason and imani, who infuriate her but comfort her at the same time, wandering around the building somewhere.

this is her home, this is the only place she knows, and she’s not ready to give it up quite yet.

AESTHETICS //

red converse, autumn forests, indie music, scuffed boots, hair ribbons, old leather books, torn gloves, dark rooms, moonlight streaming through curtains, the call of a crow

SONGS //

saint bernard - lincoln

we fell in love in october - girl in red

lemon boy - cavetown

february - beach bunny

summer depression - girl in red

i’m in love with you, sorry - j’san

silly girl - chloe moriondo

hi! i am so sorry for disappearing for so long!!!

um, because i disappeared for so long, one of my major wips has changed a lot in that time!

what was originally known as “there’s nothing left for me” is now known as “the wicked ways of wayward witches”

because it’s been so long since i’ve worked on it, i’m just gonna be starting a new taglist asdfahsgfahs

if you’re interested in being on the taglist, please let me know ! thank you :D

[astroswords]

hi there i’m really sorry i’ve been dead

tbh the main reason i haven’t posted is because i’m not happy with eden’s introduction and i’ve been delaying posting it

hopefully i’ll be able to get it out soon sdhkfdks

i also have been delaying introducing another wip because i feel like you guys are sick of that sdhshfhfsd

i’ll try to post later this week! once again i’m really sorry for dying sdjhshdf

[astroswords]

okay hi so here’s a quick thing

uh. once again i have started another wip

it’s just a very carefree chill one though

i don’t really plan to do much with it and will only work on it when i have time

it’s basically just this cute little romance story between a girl named quinn and a boy named kai

uh yeah

that brings me to 3 major wips and this story

-we are unnatural

-there’s nothing left for me

-somebody save the sinners

-cutesy story

[astroswords]

hi sorry i didn’t specify, i would like to be added to there’s nothing left for me and we are unnatural’s taglist! (from @creatvrae)

it’s fine! i figured it was these two but i just wanted to make sure- you’re added!

[astroswords]

hiya! could you please add me in your taglist from @creatvrae? i love your stories and concepts

sure! but just making sure- is this for all my wips or a specific one?

[astroswords]

hi!! are you still accepting asks for the writeblr ask game?

yes!! feel free to send them whatever!

[astroswords]

hi! can you please add my writeblr, zarinaelahi, to your "there's nothing left for me" taglist? thank you!

of course! thank you for your interest :)

[astroswords]

The first pride was a riot, more specifically a riot against police violence. Trans women like Miss Major and other people of colour paved the way for the celebration of pride today. You cannot celebrate your pride this month, or any month if you aren’t also supporting Black Lives Matter and the riots going on against police violence right now. Us white LGBTQ+ need to stand up for our black siblings and their rights, their struggles. We need to amplify their voices and show any support we can. (Edited to add links and make the image clearer)

Extensive BLM Google doc including places to donate to, education resources, etc

List of 75 things white people can do right now

Simple way to donate to the cause if you have no money to

[astroswords]

hey, i’d love to be added to your taglist for “there’s nothing left for me”! (though please tag my writeblr @qelizhus; it makes things easier to track for me)

of course! thank you so much for being interested!

[astroswords]

hi !! may i please be added to your "there's nothing left for me" taglist ?

of course! thank you for your interest!!
