#hiiii so this is my baby

the fool in her wedding dress

after escaping her mother's clutches, the bride is delighted to be married. alas, his hands are no kinder than the ones she had just fled, and as she runs from his knife, the forest is the only place that will embrace her. however, the forest's fingers run ragged with foul magics, and as the brush of the branches bestows a curse upon her brow, the fae come to find her. there are three ways to leave: join the eternal hunt, win one of the faerie king's games, or seek sanctuary at the witch's cottage until there is a quest to fulfill and life outside becomes a possibility you may yet grasp once more, one day. and so the bride hides, and she waits, and the forest begins to keen in pain.

the bride - she/her - shy, sheltered, deeply kind

the witch - she/they - cynical, exhausted, wise

the princess - he/him - curious, gentle, creative

the knight - she/her - chivalrous, warm, mischievous

the faerie king - she/they - cruel, indulgent, fascinated by the perishable

notes: hiya! so this is my nano project for this year <3 it arrived in my brain last week and went you're going to write me, and i listened. the goofier explanation of this wip is imagine if your parents, who were princess mononoke and the deer with the antlers divorced so bad that anyone who enters the forest becomes part of their custody battle. also, what if eldest daughter syndrome syndromed so badly you became a witch about it! and what if house full of mommy issues. and perhaps also bone magic and body horror and weird fucked up blood religion. anyway, hope y'all enjoy!

tagging: some mutuals and people, hope you don't mind <3 this is just a one time tag btw. @onomatopiya @cream-and-tea @encrucijada @macywrites @coffeeandcalligraphy @xiaofiaan

thanks for tagging me @celesteeal !!! 🫶🏻✨ (gotta jump on this before I forget oops)

favorite color: greeeeen 🫒🐊🌿 love me a good green. also partial to the other cool colors and browns, although deep oranges and ochre/honeyed yellows have been calling out to me lately!

last song: “all i know” by nightlife 🕺🏻

last movie: family wanted to watch the matrix trilogy recently, so I’d say the first matrix was my last movie iirc!! (It’s hard to actually sit and watch anything with my family, so I caught some of the second and third movies while they started them ~without me~)

currently reading: a few different things!! The library has a summer reading challenge going, so I’m trying to get back into the swing of things 😅 out of the library books I have checked out, the ones I’d say I’m actively reading through rn are “Beloved” by Toni Morrison and “Care Work” by Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. I also have perpetual holds on “Unmasking Autism” by Devon Price and “In Pursuit of Revolutionary Love” by Joy James that loop back around to me every other month, so hopefully I get a few essays or chapters farther in those before my holds lapse again 🏃🏻‍♀️ OOH AND MANGA STUFF: I’m almost at the end of my library’s physical collection of Blue Exorcist (they stop at v13, so we’ll see how far we get into the Illuminati arc), and I check on new chapters of Sakamoto Days as translations become available.

currently watching: sibling bonding time is anime time, and we’ve been watching dunmeshi and demon slayer. Recently we finished bocchi the rock as well. Uhh, otherwise? I watched Tale of the Nine-Tailed and The Victim’s Game (first seasons) pretty recently. Idk, I’m inconsistent with keeping up with shows, even though my list of watch-laters keeps getting longer

currently craving: I keep seeing tteokbokki pop up (previously mentioned kdrama, random youtube shorts, “I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki” memoir) and I just want to tryyyyy iiiiit. So I’d say that or some good yakitori or something 😩

tea or coffee: I don’t drink either with any real regularity, so I’m kinda open to either at this point. Maybe tea? I got to try some cajun stuff this week (jambalaya and cornbread my beloved) and had sweet tea with that, if that counts for anything!

Jean and Mikasa after a fight:

"How are you feeling right now?"

"Murderous."

"Okay." —he gives her a hug and she crumbles.
