That premise is so cool and the graphic is gorgeous! I really cant wait to see more.

THE MOTH KILLING

GENRE: A new-adult novella. Murder mystery/psychological thriller/folklore tale, Leo Tolstoy/Agatha Christie lovechild, set in twentieth-century Russia.

STATUS: Planning, outlining.

PREMISE: When a string of peculiar murders plague Arkhangelsk, Russia - the last person Anatoly Ivanovich suspects is his own brother. But as evidence mounts against the sibling, and people’s paranoia grows ��� Anatoly’s quest to prove his brother’s innocence, and uncover the real identity of the killer, turns obsessive.

image transcription under the cut!

We are always told that every great story has a hero and a villain, or some great conflict that prevents the hero from reaching their goals. We are always told to root for the hero, no matter how morally ambiguous they may seem, because there is always someone who’s done worse. The villain is the unlucky scapegoat: a person that the hero can always blame when things go wrong, the person who is supposedly responsible for all the bad things in their life. 

However, there are no heroes and villains. There are only victims. For we are all victims of time and circumstance, and that changes everything. 

[vanzhuo]

do you have any tips on how to start a writeblr, specifically how to meet more people and make some cool mutuals? :D i wanna start a writeblr but i don’t know anyone from the community and i feel like it’s not as fun without friends :(

ok so hey, first of all, i’m not good at articulating my thoughts well but here it goes -- there isn’t any one way to start a writeblr. when i’d started mine, i lounged around idly for a couple of months reblogging things from other writeblrs. when i finally mustered up wits to post an intro, some writeblrs reblogged and boosted it so that’s how many people found my blog. but like, at the beginning, i was clueless enough (don’t you dare laugh) to ask @semblanche what a taglist was because i was confused about why everyone was asking to be on it. so yeah. i’m gonna jot down a couple of things you should do if you want to like join the community under the cut since this is getting too long and you should all be saved from making the same mistakes i made at the start. and of course, some tips on networking around the community and finding new mutuals!

1. make an intro post. so the one thing i’ve learnt after changing blogs twice is, make an intro post you are satisfied with. it can be simple one, a text post where you use the header option to announce your writeblr (ex. if i were to make an intro, i’d say kalki’s writeblr) and then i’d put in my name, the kind of stuff i like to read, the kind of stuff i like to write and the wips i am writing. point is, it should be something you like, something that tells something about you. like the first time i did this, my intro said: this girl doesn’t know what she’s doing. the second time: she’s being too pretentious, move on people. so on and so forth. some people prefer using fancy images (i am some people) to introduce their blogs with an image post instead, but you’re fine with or without. one thing you should keep in mind is to like tag a few of your favorite blogs. i didn’t do this the first time round because i wasn’t sure what exactly i was doing but you should all know that if you tag your favorite blogs, then those blogs will (mostly, sometimes mentions mess up like it does with me and tumblr doesn’t notify you about being tagged) definitely reblog and boost it. that way, a lot of people will, if not engage with you, then at least know of your existence. here’s my intro post for this blog, if you want. it’s not very, um, formal because i was sleepy and thought it was funny. 

2. don’t be discouraged by the amount of notes on your intro. listen, i know we’d all feel bad if we had like 7 likes and 2 reblogs alright but don’t be discouraged. i mean now that i go back, my intro post has only about 36 notes. it really just depends on the timing. however, when you start posting content, those 10 people who’ve interacted with your post will like it and will reblog it for everyone to see and when people start seeing your content, they get interested and slowly, you’ll have more people to interact with and more people will discover your content and i think what i’m trying to say is that, the note count does matter but don’t be discouraged if it isn’t enough. it’ll take time but you’ll find a solid footing really soon, writeblr’s a really warm engaging place minus the anon hate people get sometimes. (see: @inheriting. all queen elle did was breathe, guys.) 

3. interact with other people and their content. so yes. it’s not a one side deal. if you want people to find your blog, you’ll have to start looking for more content too. when you see something good, reblog it or comment on it or even send an ask telling them it’s god tier content. that stuff makes up half the amount of serotonin in our brains. seriously. there’s nothing writers like more than people reblogging their posts with incoherent screaming or coming into their asks to tell them something they think is funny. you could even post something like: hey, i’m a new writeblr and i’m looking for content like (enter the genres or tropes you prefer) and if you have wips similar to this, then pls reblog this with their tags. i wanna start engaging more. something like that. yeah.

4. message other writeblrs? ok so this is a thing that i would not recommend doing ONLY because sometimes everything gets lost in my notifs and i don’t see messages for days and i know other writeblrs probably face this too. tumblr automatically reads them and doesn’t lmk and stuff like that. and secondly, most of us don’t really, like, answer dms all the time. sometimes i got something important to say so i’ll go to minnie @medusaswrites or to chel @starshots and scream about it and then when the topic of conversation closes, and it gets awkward (i do this so many times you don’t even know) we go back to ghosting private messages and instead blasting each other’s ask boxes with love. that’s just how this stuff works. but there are plenty of writeblrs who aren’t awkward with private messaging and they will LOVE to talk to you so there’s also that. honestly, i don’t know where i’m going with this so i’ll stop now. 

5. graphics and other things. ok so the main part, and the most important part, about a writeblr blog is the writing. so you’re a good writer, you’re a great writer. that’s not all though. sometimes you need to organize your blog. you use coded tags like tags for a particular character (say, my character tag for katya is oc: katya) and tags for a particular wip and inspo tags, resources tags, aesthetic tags, etc. this helps you organize your blog better. and finally, look, i know most people can’t do photoshop, either because it’s too expensive or too complicated and i get it. photoshop isn’t required honestly, there are tons of other things you can use. what mostly attracts attention is how attractive a blog can be. the layout for your blog for one. the picspam for your wip intro. that sort of thing. they are a couple of apps on phone that are free to use like picsart and canva (it’s on web too and honestly, the one thing you should use. it’s not like photoshop but it does the job and it does the job really well. if you want to ask someone about canva, you should go to raye @vigilantscar. she isn’t a writeblr but she’s good in that department.) also, if you’ve got something to ask about layouts or simple intro post demos and arrangement or the kind of pictures you should choose for them then slide into my dms, i’ll be happy to help.

i think that’s all? like true, writeblr isn’t fun without friends but this community is so nice and open that anyone can join anytime and you’d feel welcome. i also feel like i’ve not been able to get a few points across without sounding ignorant/awkward? or like i might have forgotten a few things? but honestly, i just woke up. also, i’m gonna tag a few blogs here that you should check out for good content in no particular order: @starshots @medusaswrites @carumens @vandorens @liarede @aelenko @inesnenci @kiesinger @medeaes @noloumna @emdrabbles and @inheriting. there are tons of other writeblrs with good content that i’m pretty sure i, with the memory of a goldfish, forgot to mention but. yeah. if you ever get round to posting an intro, tag me! i’ll be happy to interact!

Character Profile: Athena

Athena from The Circular Centuries

Excerpt

(Athena’s perspective)

Athena looked up from her file as she heard someone coming into her office. Zuri walked in, a big bright smile stretched across her face. So much emotion in that girl’s face. Athena could never understand how a person could possibly be so expressive without feeling uncomfortably naked. To her it had always seemed much, much too intimate to expose your deepest feelings to everyone around you. But what she thought about it did not matter. This was the human way. It would be in her best interest to acclimatize herself to it.

Motivation: Wants to reduce systemic suffering around the universe, wants to keep the people she loves safe, wants to figure out how to move past her toxic childhood

Personality and Qualities

Greatest Strengths: Competent, meticulous, organized, intelligent, compassionate

🍿 Share an out-of-context line from your WIP

From Grave Mercy:

(someone actually said this, but I took it out of that dialogue bit to get the one line)

thanks for sending one in minnie 😔 ❤️

send me one of the following emojis: 🍔🌭🍟🌮🍿🍩🍪🧁🍭🍫 ( legend can be found here )

[minnuet-archive]

🍩

🍩 - Recommend a writeblr who is an all-around must-follow and tell us why you follow them

One must follow is @abalonetea (I’m biased because she was the first writeblr I followed and inspired me to turn my blog into a writeblr), but I’m going to talk about someone else because I’ve already talked about her a couple of times.

In fact, I’m going to talk about three because I’m extra and bored and have a lot of love to give.

First off is @medusaswrites !! Her WIP, The Heron’s House, is absolutely stunning and her blog is just so beautiful and fun to see on your dash! I love her work and can’t wait to see more!

Second is @lordfenric !! His work is enthralling and wonderful and it never ceases to amaze! He can play with the mood of his writing beautifully and I’m always excited to see more of it on my dash!

Lastly, we have @hannahs-creations !! Her writing is so inexplicably fun and exciting to read! Once I’ve read the first line of any piece of hers, I can’t look away until I’m done! I only followed her today, but even since this morning, she’s always been posting something new or trying to kick-start a new project. I can’t wait to see what comes of them!

[katabasiss]

So 2019 is coming up and fast on the rise and I thought, what better way to celebrate the old and the new then by thanking those who have made my tumblr experience so far a rad one

I know I made an a-z version earlier in the year as a 900 follower celebration but this is for those mutuals who have helped me out or took me under their wing (or vice versa) so look away lads - it’s about to get corny

First and foremost, I have to say thanks to the utter weeb who is @sugavra - u funky little Dutch babe, u were my first tumblr friend ever since summer when I, like a twat, messaged you under the impression I had done it before but had in fact not. That being said I’m very thankful I did because who else could I scream about King Arthur to or have heavy bread discourse with? also if you guys like the raven cycle, go hit up her art blog @magnafrisia !! it kills me and I’m so ready to be murdered in an entire manor west wing gallery of her art and cause a massive scandal !!

next there’s the utter gift that is vall - @nerocael. Like have you SEEN HER CONTENT?! honestly takes my breath away and I constantly cry whilst staring at them for five hours. And vall, oof like not only are you hella talented but also hella kind and sweet !! whilst we don’t speak often, EVERYTIME we do is a gift and whenever you’re in my notes I’m like !!!! And physically have to stop myself from bursting into your dms or asks out of fear of annoying you akskdkfk also ! if you guys ever get the time, ask her about her archaeology stories akdkdkf fucking hilarious !

And how could I ever forget Zara ! @omgbrekkerkaz ! I remember the first time I ever really interacted with you was when I was new and was doing that ‘url moodboard’ thing and was stuck by the fact your blog was stunning ! Next thing I know you weaved both yourself and your positivity into my life and ultimately made my tumblr and writeblr experience an infinitely happier one ! I feel very privileged by the fact u thought I was worth interacting with and look forward to what you go on to do in the future ! (also i’d die for oliver and levi, those funky little boys so like catch me constantly pestering you for info about them!!)

Whilst we don’t really speak often @sancta-silje deserves a massive shoutout ! your content is always, always, always mind blowing and I’m shook by the fact you haven’t stormed the entire tumblr community by large with your stunning ideas and kindness. Everything about you gives off such renaissance bad ass vibe - like I could imagine a movie about you with Kira knightly being the star in a floating dress and sharp manicured nails with the blood of anyone who dares to cross you akskdkfk very awe inspiring - naturally I look up to you and your blog a lot hahahaha

@delphwrites - I call you oracle delph and honestly that’s true! People used to travel miles and miles to simply seek an audience with an oracle in the hopes they could give an inclination as to what the gods had planned for them and honestly? to quote the proclaimers, I would walk 500 miles for you cheers akskdkd like if we lived in Ancient Greece I’d 10/10 believe you were the host of a deity so !!! like with your level of skill and kindness, what else could you be if not ichor blooded or god whispered right ?!

@carumens !!! Honestly your constant love and support ?! cAtCh Me CryIng At The Back Of a PArKIng SPaCe OvER IT akskdkfk honestly you’re one of the sweetest people around and oh fuck your content is !!! I can’t even put it into words that’s how much I adore everything you make akskkdkd your aesthetic moreover is stunning and damn I’m so ready to hear about you on the news robbing the MET of all their Raphaels like sure yes I’ll harbour u kakdkd my dog loves people

and you know I’ve got to scream a massive shout out to @youngdumbxlit in all honestly we don’t talk much but everytime i see you in my notifications i become that scene with rosa diaz like ‘i’ve known @youngdumbxlit for a day but if anything were to happen to her, I’d kill everyone in this room and then myself’ ahklfjskjsd from the very beginning you’ve been a massive support and frankly one of the main reasons i didn’t delete this blog hahhah so thanks very much for everything :D

lastly, i’ve got to say I’m super hyped to get to know a number of people on this hellsite better such as @ikilledmyocs @androcalia @hazeywrites @kowlazovdi @novelistcore @hollenzwei @medusaswrites and so so many more! all your content is stunning and im so ready to dive deep into that pot of gold thanks

WIP REINTRODUCTION: GRAVE MERCY

In a world dominated by a destructive and cannibalistic race, a being called the Wanderer is worshipped with a reverence that recognizes no other faith.

GENRES: fantasy, horror

DEMOGRAPHIC: adult, mature

NARRATION: third person, past tense, two points of view

SUMMARY: The Abbey of Martyr Milena is a sanctuary for maidens afflicted with tainted faith. Hidden beyond the city walls deep within the Wood, the Abbey does more than it claims. Training girls to use their inborn abilities as weapons, the Abbey dispatches its sisters to eliminate anyone that stands in the way of its true mission - to unhallow the Ava Santi and reconstruct the Faith of the World.

Ines is one of the Abbey’s most efficient killers. Bent on revenge against the  Faith for taking everything from her, she knows nothing but vengeance and never questions beyond her orders. Cursed with the blood of being Moroi, however, Ines’ existence is a scorned one. And shall the apostles of the Church discover her secret, she’ll be sent to burn.

But when a rumor of a wandering angel sends her to the Capital of the Faith to investigate, she doesn’t expect to meet an apostle who’s set to unravel the very mystery of the Wanderer.

Saw the prompt thing, decided to slide in. I'm not the best at prompts but one I always default to is: An evening in the library. (sending on anon because my writeblr is a sideblog) - ducky-writez.

Notes: Thank you, @ducky-writez, for the prompt for my 100 follower event (link embedded)! Not going to lie— I genuinely hate this, but it’s currently 4:29 am, I’m in a block, and I’m done trying to make it good. Something’s better than nothing, yeah? Hope you can enjoy it anyway!

Solace didn't particularly like the library, yet he found himself in it regularly. It wasn't that he disliked the library, but he preferred laying on the grass on a sunny day.

The fact of the matter was that libraries had words. And however boring and fruitless he found the quiet and humble atmosphere of his local library, he loved words enough to spend his time there.

"Hello, Anna," He spoke politely and softly to the young librarian, as was library etiquette.

"Hello, Solace," Her voice was singsongy and slightly disinterested, but Solace either didn't notice or didn't care.

"I was wondering if you by any chance had a historical fiction book or article on the history of California pre-Columbus." He looked up at the ceiling out of the corners of his eyes, trying to remember what Finn had spoken about the day before.

Anna cocked her head, no longer disinterested. "Since when are you interested in non-fiction? You always come in here looking for books with big words that are written by pretentious old white men."

At this, he rolled his eyes. "A friend told me about it and it sounded interesting."

She raised an eyebrow and simpered, drawling her words out. "Ah. A friend."

"Listen, do you have the book or not?" Solace spoke sharply, breaking his usual polite tone. He tapped his fingers against his left arm rhythmically.

Had they not been in an otherwise silent library, she might have pushed harder on the subject, but she instead answered his question. "I highly doubt we have any books on it, but I'm sure there are some books out there. I can look for one and add it to the list of books to buy, if you'd like."

A frown spreads across Solace's face. "No, it's alright."

As much as Anna tries to respect boundaries, it's really, really hard to when it comes to Solace, so she prods at the subjects again. "What's wrong? I thought it was something you wanted to learn about?"

"Oh, cut the crap, Anna. We both know that's not why. I just wanted Finn and I to have at least one shared interest."

She nodded her head in understanding. "Oh, so this is about Finn." She had heard about Finn many times. Some (including her) would argue too many times. Solace never shut up about him.

"Of course it’s about Finn. We just have such amazing conversations when we can find something to talk about, but we're barely able to do that because we have practically no shared interests. Except for our love of words."

"Yeah, man. I know. You've told me," The two looked eyes for a moment and Anna saw that he was truly disappointed. She had never seen that look in his eyes before, and it made her sad. She surprised herself by speaking again. "So why don't you create a shared interest for the two of you?"

"What do you mean?" Solace was confused at what he didn't understand and skeptical at what he did about what she had said.

"I mean,"

What did she mean?

"That you can find something that sounds cool to both of you. Maybe a book or show you heard about in passing. You can both read it or watch it or whatever and talk about it. And on top of that, you can share what you're already passionate about with each other and find new interests."

He was in awe of what she'd said, though he felt like he shouldn't have been. It was such a simple, easy answer. They could communicate. Share. And yet he had never thought of it. Why hadn't he thought of it?

"Yeah. You're right. Then, uh," he stumbled over his own words as he tried to reorganize his thoughts. "I'm going to go check out two copies of And Then There Were None."

Anna laughed at his choice, but he retorted her silent comment. "At least it's not written by a pretentious old white man."

"True. Only checks off one out of four of the boxes." He grinned at her before shuffling off.

Before he went to find the copies of And Then There Were None, he stepped outside and pulled out his phone, pressing it against his ear.

"Hey! Are you free? Yeah... Cool... Okay... See you then!"

Only five minutes later, Solace checked his books out at the counter with Anna. A small bell rung out signaling that the front door had opened and he spun around to look at Finn, smiling widely.

He waved goodbye to Anna and grabbed his things before walking over to Finn. "Hey."

Finn smiled and spoke softly. "Hey."

"Where do you want to sit?" Solace spoke quickly, far too excited to show Finn the books he had checked out for the two of them.

"Maybe in the corner by the window?" Finn suggested warily. " Hopefully it's not taken."

"Sounds good to me!"

As they sit down on the bean large bean bag chair in the corner of the room, Finn pulls a little bag out of his backpack. "I know we're not supposed to have food in here, but I had a couple of those chocolate chip sea salt cookies I made left over. I brought one for you."

Solace felt his cheeks warm up just the littlest bit as he took the cookie. "Thanks," He grabbed both books and held them up. "So, I checked out two copies of And Then There Were None. Agatha Christie is an absolutely amazing author, but I haven't read this book yet, and as far as I know, you haven't either."

Finn grinned at him as he spoke. "I have not."

"Well, then! Here we are." He handed one to Finn.

Finn flicked the front cover open, planning to read just the first few lines. The first few lines turned into the first few chapters as they read next to each other.

The sun set slowly behind them, and Solace glanced over at Finn who seemed to be in a reading trance. His soft light brown hair was ruffled and messed up and his electric blue eyes somehow looked warm in the light.

Hiding a smile as he directed his own eyes back toward the page, he felt Finn shift closer to him, leaning his head on Solace's shoulder.

His breathing quickened involuntarily and he closed his eyes to slowly reel it back in before looking down at Finn. Solace shifted himself down the beanbag to match him, resting his own head on Finn's.

He couldn't say they fit together well. Even saying it was comfortable was a stretch. But it was nice. And he felt safe. And happy.

Maybe he did like the library.
