Writeblr Introduction...

Hey there, fellow adventurer!

Hey there! I’m Aayu (he/him), a newbie writer who spends a little too much time lost in fantasy worlds, building new adventures & stories, trying to create poetry that doesn’t always rhyme [oops! (ᵕ—ᴗ—)]. I’m here to share my writing, learn from all of you, and maybe even get lost in a few collaborative projects along the way. I’ve got a lot of ideas buzzing around in my head, and this space is where I’ll bring them to life. 🌟

A little bit about me:

Pronouns: he/him

Age: 19

INTJ / INFJ

Aries

Craves a whole lot of coffee! (⊙ _ ⊙)

Anime nerd ⎚-⎚

A fantasy-loving, world-building enthusiast

Sometimes you may catch me daydreaming about characters from movies and anime's who don’t know how to stay out of trouble...

Open to exploring any genre (but I mostly live in fantasy, fiction, poetry, and short stories)

Obsessed with adventure, complex plots, and creating characters who feel like friends (or enemies... depending on the day) >ᴗ<

Always here for tag games, writing prompts, and collaborating with other creative souls

What you’ll find on my blog:

My WIPs: From magical realms with strange mythical beasts to strange lands with lots of mystery, I'm always working on something new (and sometimes not quite finished, lol)

Poetry and Short Stories: Because who doesn’t love a little variety, right?

Collaborations: Let’s team up! I’m always looking to write with others, so feel free to talk to me in my inbox!

World-building and Adventure: Expect a lot of random world-building lore and the occasional overly-dramatic character monologue shit!

Introducing My WIPs:

1. Sherlock of Another World Genre: Fantasy / Mystery / Reincarnation / Magic Summary: A young boy, once a huge fan of Sherlock Holmes, is reincarnated into a world resembling the late Victorian era—only this world has an undercurrent of magic. After a fateful accident, he wakes up with his memories intact, determined to carve out a place for himself as the world's greatest detective. But this world is not full of political intrigue and societal drama; it also hides arcane secrets and mysterious forces that blur the line between logic and the supernatural. With his razor-sharp mind, well-stocked with knowledge of the methods employed by Holmes, he seeks to solve crimes that no one can. From the weird magical occurrences to secret societies controlling the arcane energy of the world, he weaves through an intricate web of riddles that may be more than he had in mind for himself. Will he turn out to be the Sherlock Holmes of this new world or will the magic and danger prove too much even for his brilliant mind?

2. The Eternity Clock Genre: Short Story, Magical Realism, Fantasy, Philosophical Fiction Summary: A small village in India’s Western Ghats, blending rich culture and mystical timepieces.

PS: Still working on some ideas so this section will be updated soon!

A Few Fun Things About Me (Besides Writing):

World-building is my like my jam. If I’m not writing, I’m probably mapping out cities or figuring out a character’s backstory or finding some inspiration to write from somewhere (and yes, I get really into it).

Music and Books are constant companions. I love finding the perfect inspiration to match's the mood of my stories.

I crave movies and animes—always on the lookout for something new to watch, even if my list is getting a little out of hand. (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

THANK YOU FOR YOU TIME!

Feel free to reach out if you want to scream about your WIPs, OCs, books, or any shared interests! Always up for a chat! 💬✨

“If it wasn’t for Hammer over here, we’d all be in a bit of trouble I reckon.” Dank had wandered to the tall human’s side, adjusting his robes about himself. The rest of the group nodded in agreement as Orlogg dropped from the eaves to the ground below and rushed to Dante, grabbing him in a tight hug.

“Get off me.” Dante croaked as the half-Orc squeezed him off the ground. Orlogg dropped him and nodded towards Armand in thanks. The man shook his head and looked around the party.

“Is everyone all right? Any injuries?” He asked as Orlogg reached into his pouch, producing one of his salves. Shenzu raised his left leg, a series of gashes carved into the soft tissue. Armand knelt and placed a hand over the cuts, shooing Orlogg away.

“You’re lucky, it’s not down to the bone.” The man’s hands glowed with a soft amber light as he placed them on the Draar’s injured leg. When he was finished the wound was healed, but the Draar continued to keep his weight off it fully.

“It’ll be sore for a while, but you should be okay. After a night’s rest, you'll be good as new.” Armand said. Shenzu sniffed, “It is nothing, I can still fight. Thank you.” Orlogg offered his salve to the Draar.

“This should help. At the very least it can numb the pain if you still have any.” The Draar scowled at the fowl smelling liquid but took it anyway.

-From my WIP-

Perhaps you should find someone else to haunt,” she said. He let out a low chuckle, the sound barely audible over the night air. “Tempting,” he mused. “But keeping an eye on you happens to be my job, Princess. If you insist on making it difficult, I’d at least appreciate the courtesy of pretending to be surprised when I show up.”

I finished Storge.

I have a manuscript.

I can't even begin to tell you how much this means to me. I have been working on this story seriously for three years. I started learning about writing craft five years during freshman year study hall. This world has existed in one form or another since middle school. This is over 6 years of work and trial and error and laughter and tears put into this story.

And it's finally done.

I can't wait to share it with you.

I found a song that pretty much perfectly fits my villain in my fantasy wip. Seriously, pretty much all but two or three lines is dead on.

Man or a monster by Sam Tinnesz and Zayde Wølf.

Anyone else find songs and can't believe how well they fit your work?

The Sun Ballad Project//Chapter Five- The Uninvited

-"As he enters the light, the warm wet embrace of the blank paint dissipates, it grows heavy, pulls on the soft youth of his cheeks and sneaks into the edge of his eyes."

The Uninvited as it stands is a full bookending of Chapter Four, it ends as Chapter Four begins with Yhw unknowledgeable of his fate and the name of the spirit that haunts him, whispers into his ear and plays dangerous games with penknives. It stands at 4,158 words and is the introductory chapter to my novels early antagonist, Hesper that late prince whose soul becomes perpetually tethered to Yhw, connecting the boys and their own deaths and lives together. This chapter also explores the dangers of being a Medivan conservative and zealot to the Aullian Pantheon, the gods choose when you live and subsequently when you die and thus angering them is an inventable early death.

This chapter puts Yhw in a difficult position, does he walk the line of worship and risk dying at the hands of a divine or does he return to the grave-site where his attempted murderer is likely lying in wait, what fate should he wish himself into?

As a dialogue-heavy chapter, I rewrote many scenes multiple times to find the way to best communicate each characters feelings and goals with the added benefit of foresight, I love the way the ghost of Hesper slowly reveals himself, his voice indicated by italics in the novel.

//excerpts

The first scene

Second

Final

In the final scene after Yhw's ghost reveals itself, Yhw comes face to face with the soul he's tethered to, Hesper a boy younger than Yhw but a boy whose mind has outlived his body by months; a soul is so very different from a mind, ruthless, lacking in morals and a cruel imitation of the person it once was. Hesper, a prince whose mysterious death has been lost to the tales of time.

Hesper's soul is intertwined with Yhw's which means he is either wearing Yhw like a wolf wearing a sheep-skin or wandering the empty space between life and death, knowing and forgetting. It's interesting writing a character who is no longer bound by the limitations of a living body and dealing with a character whom I love to pieces being something so in-human and non-living, what have I done to this child!!??

Hesper's language during his conversation with Yhw is selective and often while drafting I'd isolate his lines and rework them to make them carry the kind of weight I was looking for. When writing significant dialogue I've always found I write best when I outline beforehand the intentions of each character and the limits of their knowledge. Hesper thinks Yhw has done something to tether them together, he wants to know why this is happening. Yhw on the other hand misguided to believe Hesper is Vwu, the god of hunting believes Hesper knows and is withholding information from him and thus both boys feel antagonized by the other.

“At least the gods aren’t angry.” The boy took a step back as if to mould into the wall while standing still like life left to hunger. His voice came out in a deathly low whisper that slid up to Yhw, twisted into dread incarnate and stagnated in his head.

“but I am angry.”

First Paragraph Tag

I was tagged by @weathershade. Thank you!!!

Rules: post the first paragraph/s of something you have not shared yet.

I thought about adding context to this, but eh, I’ll just let it be confusing. sorry not sorry

Fortune Hollan doesn’t have time for other peoples’ lies even if he himself is a liar. He tucks his left hand under his right elbow and leans back in his chair, only half-listening to his professor’s lecture on Magician law history. His eyes close and his head tilts until it rests on the edge of the chairback. Someone’s loud huff causes him to peak one eye open and sure enough there’s Juniper Graves narrowing her eyes at him while she shakes her head, almost imperceptibly. The corner of Fortune’s mouth twitches into a lazy smirk, which only causes Juniper to sigh.

Tagging: @queercon-ic, @arte-muse, @happyorogeny, @edgywords

Please let me know if you don’t want to be tagged in stuff! Otherwise, I am so excited to see all your paragraphs.

Just a little snippet of the lovely and talented shopkeeper Estra!

I’m actually finishing up the text for chapter one, and got a ton of bugs squashed the other day, so now the game runs smoothly until chapter 3 (because it doesn’t exist yet lol).

I wish this was going faster, but I keep reminding myself that one, it’s 2020, and 2, I didn’t know HOW to code in ChoiceScript in July, so I’ve come a decently long way!

More doodles and snippets to come!

“We were only here for the gold these two idiots promised. Perhaps you are mistaken, and it is really these two who are the problem?” Shenzu argued, his tail swishing against the ground behind him. Sheba shook her head, “I’m afraid not, Warrior. The myth foretells a group of six, destined to save all Weyard from the unnamed.”

“The unnamed what?” Dante asked.

“We, those of us who are ancient, do not speak of it. It is far more likely that the darkness of the nameless is responsible for the event in Garo than anything else. You wander along a path towards the eye of the sleeping one, and should it be awakened, everything will end. The first step to you not disturbing the unnamed is to not know of it.”

“It’s a nameless beast? I can strike it down.” Armand hoisted his war hammer as it crackled with energy. Sheba shook her head.

“I admire your strength. But you do not understand. Some things were locked away long ago for a reason. This should never have come to pass, yet was always written to. The one you seek has upset the balance, learned too much, and hungers for more. Until they are stopped, this world will know nothing but suffering.” She went to a nearby apple tree and picked a ripe, red apple. Holding it in one light green hand, the apple withered and decayed within seconds.

“This is a crude example of what the unnamed will do, should it be allowed to escape. Not a soul alive will be able to stop it or fight against it should it be unleashed. In all my years, I never thought I would live to see the day where the Six should be standing in front of me.” Orlogg used his hand and bumped Dante in his thigh, mouthing “the Six” at his friend. Dante rolled his eyes, “Look, I appreciate all the chatter and the insistence that we are some band of heroes who can stop a great evil, but to be honest: I’m a whore. This is a whole lot of not bed-work for you to be directing at me. That’s not what I’m really about, and this one,” He pointed at Orlogg sitting beside him pulling grass from the ground, “He’s half an idiot and a herbalist. You’ve got the wrong people, at least with us two. Maybe the drunkard, too.” Vestare swore and spit on the ground, glaring at Dante.
