Alien, Reese's, plague doctor

Ooo Alien is such a good movie! And definitely agree with the Reese’s - always excited to get those 🍭

I wanted to make a character/moodboard for Jörmungandr, their history and character design is so cool! I hope this is okay, and that you like it!

The Serpents They Stone

In an alternate version of our world where gods lived alongside humankind and brought them to a new level of technological prosperity, the dreaded World Serpent Jörmungandr reveals herself to have survived Ragnarok while rescuing her villainous old flame, the Phantom Queen Badb. Quickly finding herself pursued by the entire world for the prophecy that promises she will end the world, Jörmungandr dedicates herself to saving Badb from the "Black Pharaoh" that enslaves her - even as Badb is forcibly driven to remain sinister and create chaos.

63, 73, 100 for whatever OC(s) you want

going to go with oliver bc that's my mc for my nano novel!

63. How self-disciplined is your oc? Do they often think before they act, or the other way around?

oliver is generally very impulsive. pretty much everything he does is based on his current state, whether that's what he wants or is thinking about or feeling or just his mood.

73. If your oc were to be arrested, what would it most likely be for? Is it justified? Have they actually been arrested before?

murder lol. nah, either a drunk and disorderly, or he'd probably drive drunk since downtown is pretty near his neighborhood. he'd at least spend the night in the drunk tank. fortunately, he's yet to be arrested.

100. Does your character ever swear? How often? How vulgar is their swearing?

really the only time oliver swears is if he trips or stumbles or hits a body part on something. he's extremely clumsy, so that's pretty frequent. he will also swear when he rants about his parents. i guess he does swear a lot.

thanks for sending!

Forest Green, Dusty Rose, Bubblegum Pink

Thatnk you! The ask game in question

Forest Green: What’s your favourite genre to write?

Horror shorts! You'd be amazed at how much dread and fear you can build in less than 2,000 words.

Dusty Rose: Your personal favourite character in your wip

That's got to be the Lieutenant! A soldier out of time and an absolute WRECK of a human, to say she's been through hell and back really isn't far off.

She staggered out of a rip in the veil - a breach - killed a few Fae creatures, then called herself in because hey, soldier knows the process, right?

Except it's been nearly 400 years since she went into the Fae Wilds in the first place. The war with the Fae ended just over 350 years ago. She is full of PTSD and barely unchecked agression for a fight that doesn't exist any more, and the military doesn't know what to do with her. SHE doesn't know what to do with her, because whatever happened in the Fae Wilds, she can't remember a damn thing. As far as she's concerned she stepped through to go IN and got spat straight back OUT.

She is currently spending her days in a maximum-security facility while the bigwigs try to figure out what to do with her.

She doesn't stay there very long.

Bubblegum Pink: If you could only write one genre for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Probably horror again! Something I learned from reading Anthony Horowitz as a kid is that you can spin a good spooky story out of just about anything - I still vidily remember a short story he wrote about a haunted bathtub, and I'm in my 30's now so it's testament to his skill that it's stuck with me through the rest of my memory blackouts.

Thank you for the ask!

24, 26, 29 for Casimir

Jane! Thank you for the asks!

From this OC ask game

24. how does your OC handle death of someone they know?

For Caz, not well. If it's someone he doesn't know that well he may try to distance himself, but he will at least try to help those who were impacted (he was the only one in his building who visited his neighbor when her husband died, and even brought her something from her favorite bakery).

If it was someone he was close with, he will probably get blind-drunk and start blaming himself in some way, and begin revisiting all the people he's lost over the years.

26. Least favorite food and color?

Hm, this one was surprisingly hard.

For color, maybe yellow? I think he would look pretty terrible in it and it would remind him of the pretty flaxen color his hair used to be.

For food? Caz always loved food and cooking, and the fact he cannot eat anything but variants of blood and some softer organs really is a tragedy. I think he sees the bagged, over-preserved snack foods Jade eats instead of a home-cooked meal an affront on good cuisine but, let's be honest, if he could eat it he would.

29. When was their first kiss?

I spoke about how Caz lost his virginity a while back but have given less thought to a first kiss. It would have been one of the girls in his village, no doubt, probably in his early teens when he was supposed to be tending to his family's sheep or on the way back from church.

Which part of writing annoys you the most?

hehe the part where if I don't plan anything I can't write but also how planning and good ideas are really really hard lol

Do you have any characters based off people you know?

Yes! my character Silvia is based on one of my good friends irl (though not really intentionally, at least at first), but all of my characters draw from the people around me, to an extent. I can certainly tell which ones are most similar to which of my friends.

Unrelated but what are your opinions on J.K.Rowling?

No one deserves really bad things happening to them, but it's a shame that she got so polarized from already kind of a shitty start. now I guess I'm just waiting for her books to lose popularity, if that will ever happen. when I was younger I was obsessed with the books and I can still recall extremely niche factoids about the books, which feels really icky now.

[vacantgodling]

What's the wildest trigger warning for one of your wips ? Like, what trigger warning would make readers take a moment to try and figure out how such a warning could possibly apply ?

that’s a very good question! i think the biggest one would be donut wip and all i’ll say is “cat related violence”

𝚁𝚘ü𝚡𝚘 𝚔𝚘𝚓 𝚊𝚟𝚠𝚎𝚒; Hello, my friend, and good evening!

From this ask game.

Once again, I've added links to characters' Pinterest boards, and tagged content warnings accordingly! Please let me know if I've missed anything ❤︎

WHICH OC IS THE MOST…

Extraverted?

(ward link cw: snakes, images/tattoos depicting death) One of the first inamorata I created, Ward is easily the one to get the most energized when around others. Ward owns a Firmic (Earth) tattoo shop where they provide ink, piercings, and more to anyone of the supernatural, alien, or paranormal mortalis. They're known for their love of snakes, their pierced wings, golden tattoos, wild hair, and most of all, their large number of boyfriends and/or partners. Ward has a lot of love to give and they're quite good at making others feel at ease, whether while working in the shop or while entertaining in bed.

Fair?

(auris link cw: images relating to death, blood, toxic/abusive relationships) In this case, I'm taking this to mean 'fair in their actions and beliefs.' And I'll be choosing Auris! They're the MC of Arcane, an older WIP of mine, and are a young archaic being. They embody the shroud; a field of energy between Alatheia and Elysia, and they are often referred to as the Guardian of Innocence. Having been taken advantage of as a young bounty hunter, they now keep the balance between the Worlds and bring their bounties to a rehab center, instead of killing them.

Outspoken?

This one definitely goes to Asimina, a solar human and pirate captain. She's known for her sharp tongue and chaotic attitude, and never hesitates to say it like it is. This often gets her into trouble, whether she's refusing to submit to another pirate, or stating a fact of a typically respected character.

I should probably clarify that I have 280+ characters to choose from while answering these. Eventually, I'll have a character masterlist available for y'all to look at. It's currently in progress c;

N A M E S A K E 🌷💀🏛️

for nanowrimo 2023

with my fourth rewrite officially started, it was time for an updated wip intro! some settings, conflicts, and character arcs have drastically changed, but we're hauling ass to finish this damn thing.

Genre: Myth retelling

Projected word count: 95,000

🏛️ SUMMARY

a hades and persephone myth retelling in which kore, newly dead, is taken to the underworld to rot as mortals do. when hades discovers she is the godly offspring of his older siblings, he tricks her into eating pomegranate seeds and siphons her abilities into his own domain, unleashing a curse that ultimately causes him to start to decay.

NAMESAKE explores stolen girlhood, death and rebirth, patriarchal structures, grief and atonement, and redeemed villains through lyrical, flowery prose. this novel is ideal for devourers of anne carson's translations, circe by madeline miller, and ardent readers of louise glück.

follow along as demeter receives her deserved redemption arc as her harrowing grief threatens the balance of life and death; kore blooms into persephone, queen of the underworld and polluter of the gaian realm with festering necromancy; and hades uncovers a love for humanity and what it means to have agency in a body robbed of it.

🌷 KORE / PERSEPHONE

flower maiden and queen of the underworld

a deathbound flower maiden lured into the underworld, where the rotten and fiendish welcome her home. as her flower-weaving evolves into necromancy and the routes to gaia emerge for the dead, she soon becomes lost in a world of carnivorous, wrathful summer, harnessed by her mother’s despair that has buried the realm in everlasting mourning.

💀 HADES

receiver of the dead and king of the underworld

a king-deity who's tired of the shadows and seeks to be the nightmare mortals dare not utter. but after succumbing to a vengeful curse that begins his undoing, hades loses his agency and godhood, and learns to survive without all the power and might his birthright afforded him. misanthropic goth king forfeits the body to bed a wife but finds the heart to love one.

🌾 DEMETER

mother earth and goddess of harvest & earth fertility

a mother who grieves a world without her beloved daughter. her disappearance creates a chain of events in which the dead spill into the land of the living while an unrelenting garden sweeps over the mortal plain and threatens to end all life.

@fearofahumanplanet is so creative! its wips are interesting and original, even the one based on mythology. it works really hard and has a valuable perspective too.

Small lil post of a thing I'm writing, might make it fully available when I'm done ;)

This clip is very out of context but I hope u enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it :3

Mention of blood - that's it

His room was bare save for the same old leather traveling bag he always carried. I put him in the bed, noticing with alarm how bloody the sheets were.

“Are you bleeding?” I whispered in panic.

Elijah barely stirred, but managed to say “mmm, probably.”

“Fuck’s sake.”

I decided to share the favor and took off his bloody tunic.

His forest green skin had been turned to a darker sage from bruises. He didn't even stir as the cool night air touched his bare skin.

A couple of scars had opened up.Old, bloody bandages were around his arms and legs. Healers always seemed to bleed more.

What was he doing? I knew I shouldn't care, but I couldn't shake the worry.

We haven't seen each other in decades, why did I care what an old school nemesis had gotten himself into?

Still warring with myself, I took the bandages he had lying around the shelf. I shouldn’t look. If he wanted to get himself killed, that was his business. He did heal me from my frostbite, and I have had no trouble. So I suppose I should return the favor before he makes me owe him.

I pried off the bandage off his forearm as gently as I could. The sticky, black blood had bled through almost everywhere.

[nathrheimpublishing]

Introducing Nathrheim Publishing, and a sneak peek at our first project!

Happy Halloween! @elijahrichardwrites, @fearofahumanplanet, @bpdgotmelike, and @thenightmarewrites are eager to announce our latest project - Nathrheim Publishing House, an independent punk publishing house with the goal of uplifting marginalized voices, radical leftist perspectives, and other works that find themselves struggling to gain representation in an otherwise insular and restrictive market.

Our goals?

To seek out and publish marginalized & othered voices of any sort - are you a POC? LGBT? Disabled, visible or not? Suffering a stigmatized disorder (Cluster B folks, line right up)? Lower-class? Any sort of outcast? You're the exact sort of people we're looking to represent. We feel there aren't enough perspectives on the market, and we want to change that.

An approachable, transparent business style. All too often, publishing houses are downright opaque about their intent and their work process, and it's hard to really get your foot in the door when no one will even inform you why you're being rejected. We aim to defy that norm.

We aim to particularly represent daring, provocative, rebellious, offbeat and all-around "weird" voices. Have you been told your work wouldn't sell? We think it will, and we're willing to put money on the line to prove it. We do not require an agent - if you have a story you want published and no one else wants it, send it right to us, we'll take a look.

Please reblog for visibility!!!

We are not open for submissions yet - for now, we plan on publishing our first book and fundraising the money required to take on other authors and publish them too. When we do take submissions, we are especially interested in works from the writeblr community as well as all categories listed above! As for our first book...

Jane Doe's Karma Killer, more info to come :)
