FORMERLY KNOWN AS ASPENSCRIBBLES & ASLANWRITES

Hello all – I am back from my unintentional but needed hiatus.

My name is Elliot, or Eli. I’m 29 years old and have passed my third year anniversary in the writeblr community. I use they/them pronouns, and I am demisexual. I’m currently a fulltime student and full time worker, studying Political Science and Journalism doubled. I try to be around as much as I can. I struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, Clinical Depression, and Agoraphobia. 

The genres I write are:

Dark Fantasy

Horror

Biblical Horror

New Adult to Adult

All of my works feature primarily LGBT+ characters. I am an adult, so there will be, at times, more adult related content. All writing content is properly tagged.

My writing tag is look mom i write. For an extensive list of all my wips, you can find them here and here

Some people I find cool are @gideonshay, @klywrites, @livvywrites, @harrowingwords, and many more!

SOME OF MY WIPS ARE BUT NOT LIMITED TO -

So Said the King - Dark fantasy, wlw. When Sage’s father dies mysteriously, and her mother takes the throne, she is forced to run away. She ends up under the protection of a knight from the enemy kingdom, Nyx, who is relunctant in helping her. In their adventure to getting to Ayathia – their last hope – Sage finds herself uncovering the demons her mother so desperately hid from her. And seeing ghosts from her past. Tag list open. Warnings for fighting, body horror, and mentions of child abuse.

Where the Sky Met the Sea - Low fantasy, romance, wlw, nblw. There was once a time where people could meet their soulmates in their dreams – it was the gods way of having a little bit of fun up until the people fought back under the guise of we should be allowed to choose. Yet, Evelyn met a mysterious figure in her dreams underneath a silver tree, but they’d never exchanged names. Every night, in her dreams, she met this person up until one day as though they belonged together, she’d stopped appearing. A few days later, she receives a letter in the mail from the palace, begging for her help and to head to the capital. Tag list open – warnings for attempted murder, some violence.

The Price of Eden - Biblical horror, urban fantasy, wlw, mlm. Bailee Davis was 11 years old when her life changed. Her childhood home went up in flames and she met something that called himself Azrael – and made a deal with him. If he were to keep her twin brother alive, she would do whatever he wants. And at 16, Bailee finds herself facing tragedy and demons that she’d tried to run from as a child. With her girlfriend dead, her cousin back in her life, and an acquaintance who has gone missing, Bailee finds herself entangled in the world of Covens and Angels. Tag list open – warnings for abuse, graphic body horror, descriptions of anxiety, and religious abuse.

Blood Upon the Altar - Dark fantasy, paranormal, wlw, mlm, nblw. Aleksandra Tasheva was raised as a Soldier within the Church of Sariel. She is assigned with Aston Richards, a blase and quite rude man from the country of Edhel – and they are sent on a mission to capture a serial killer that had fled the Church. Aleks finds herself at crossroads of choices when she is rescued by a vampire, Adrienne, and learns of the Church’s darker secrets.  Tag list open – warnings for: violence.

Catradora || Percabeth (1/?)

“She looked at me, like she was drinking in the fact that I was still here. And I realized I was doing the same thing. The world was collapsing, and the only thing that really mattered to me was that she was alive.“ ~The Last Olympian

[harrowingwords]

I am dying rereading Harrow the Ninth; every time Harrow touches her sword Gideon’s narration is like:

“Oh my GOD Harrow, you are so bad at swords. You know NOTHING about swords. You are RUINING that poor sword, you absolute ingrate. Are you even AWARE that there is a whole WORLD of Sword Knowledge that you do not have? Of course not, because you are a Sword Moron. Even if you DID know the first thing about swords you would still be SO SO SO BAD at this because your spindly little arms have useless little necromancer muscles and honestly? This is all just hopelessly sad. It literally HURTS ME to watch you flailing around like this.”

Only to follow it up with:

*sniffs, wipes tear* “Harrow is... TRYING?” *dies of pride and happiness*

[harrowingwords]

literally the meanest thing a gay person has ever done to me is get me invested in the locked tomb trilogy

bard (derogatory)

[harrowingwords]

harrow: God, can you help me get my cavalier back?

john: i am sorry, but it is impossible and even attempting will probably kill you

harrow: ...

harrow: hey ianthe, can you help me-

[harrowingwords]

Gideon: Harrow can’t love me because she’s in love with a sexy dead person popsicle :(

Harrow, at that exact same moment: thinking of Gideon filled me with so much feeling that I had to stop. She is my personal apocalypse.

Genre/Audience ;;  Urban Fantasy, NA Content Warnings ;; death, violence, abuse, manipulation

The story of Death’s servant who was tasked with killing the Gods when their time came has always been a popular one. Aisha knows the warrior in the pictures is her for one main reason - she can’t die. It’s been 50 years since she woke up in a hospital with no memory of her past beyond her own first name. She doesn’t know why Death abandoned her, and honestly? At this point she doesn’t really give a fuck.

Until the day Death’s errand boy corners her on a late night bus to tell her that Death needs her help. Someone is killing the gods to steal their powers, and Death needs her to stop them before they become too powerful.

hello friends~ its almost 2021 for me! I’ve been thinking about what I want to do in regards to my creative stuff during the new year, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to take a break from trying to focus on longer form works skjnfes it’s just not workin for my mental health rn honestly

so instead of trying a “write so many words during the year challenge” I am setting myself a different challenge! I’m giving myself a goal of posting a fully edited short story each month during the year, to just try to give myself the gratification of a finished piece and to keep the words flowing without letting myself get stuck on one thing!

in regards to Chaos, I’m going to be taking the wordpress site down. I think trying to post chapters while I was writing was a bad idea in terms of motivation, personally, and so I’ll revisit that story and how I want to share it at a later date!
