"In a way, there are more mysteries than tragedies"

Hi hi! I'm an aroace trans man in a system that loves to write horror mysteries. Though I dabble in other genres depending on what a story needs. My works typically include morally gray characters, strangely cute monsters, and dark content, so make sure you read the content warnings before engaging with them. Some themes you can expect are light in the deepest darkness, heroes being worse than the villain, weirdcore settings, humans as the true evil, religious trauma, finding queer acceptance, and so on. I also litter my works with trans, plural, and aroace themes.

Important notes:

Why did I make a new blog, outside of wanting a fresh start? To be honest, my notifications were so broken that it made the decision easy. I do recognize that, one day, I'll have to accept having an account for a long time just means things will break, but this is not that day!

An Optional BYF For Those Who Want It

This is a Litmus Test

Yep, let's talk about the whole "fiction effects reality" thing. When I use this phrase, what I am not saying is that violent media will make you violent, or that all stories should be squeaky clean with the purpose of teaching a moral. It's a recognition of how harmful feeding into stereotypes can be, and how certain framing contributes to the spread of harmful ideas. For example, a work that glorifies violence done by the military via painting the other side of a conflict as "pure evil". And let me be clear, a character glorifying their own actions is not the same as the creator glorifying their actions, nor are stories where everyone is evil or sucks encouraging bad behavior.

The takes, "writing about horrific things does not make you a bad person", and, "a creator framing a character's horrific behavior as justifiable, and others negative reactions towards it as unjustifiable, could be a red flag", in my opinion, can and should coexist. (Ex: B being painted as in the wrong for not seeing a trans individual as crazy, while A is painted as justified for doing so). I am against censorship and harassment, but I am not against thoughtful critiques or discussions about how we present certain ideas within our writing. Discouraging this makes it more difficult to discuss when harm is intended or accidentally done, and can be used to silence minorities when they ask for better representation. It also makes it harder to blow the whistle on bigots. Both the extremes that everyone who writes dark things condones them, and that no one who writes dark things ever condones them are not helpful. Which brings me to my main point.

TDLR: Framing is everything, and just because fiction isn't going to turn us into murder hobos, that doesn't mean it can't contribute to the spread of harmful ideas. Being against censorship does not have to mean being against thoughtful discussion or critique.

Your reaction to these paragraphs will let you know whether or not my writing is for you. I'm a neurodivergent who's addicted to nuance, and this shows in not only my stories, but also how I approach them. As I write them, I twist the struggles, perspectives, and experiences of the characters to end up with a complex web of considerations. There's nothing wrong with a story full of horrible people being horrible just for the sake of it, or a story full of violence just because, but those aren't the type of things I tend to write. I also often cover the perspectives of trauma victims and plural individuals to put out the representation I as one want to see.

If you dislike horror that takes an interest in examining and criticizing human behavior, this is definitely not the blog for you. But, if you think tackling questions such as how far the heroes can go before they become just as bad, or even worse, than the villain, themes of characters overcoming evil, characters like oddly soft demons, and settings like weirdcore societies meant to comment on American society, are interesting, then I think you'll enjoy my works.

TDLR: I write horror with a gushy center and with representation that is important to me.

Supernatural OC Character Analysis

Adaline is not easy to describe. She’s like a song Enter Sandman, with a hint of Cherry Pie—strange, unexpected, but once you understand her, she leaves a mark. To Dean, she’s a challenge: quick-witted, guarded, but undeniably human. A girl who learned early not to let anyone see her struggle, but who still fights to show who she truly is. Someone who looks like she doesn’t care but feels everything way too deeply.

She’s no stranger to having to prove herself, especially as a woman in the hunting world—a place that doesn’t offer grace. Her mask is perfect—too perfect—but beneath it, she’s still the girl who never had a real childhood. Adaline is silly in the middle of serious moments, argues over Five Guys vs. Burger King, and makes jokes to hide the pain of constantly needing to prove she’s worth something. She’s sarcastic when she’s scared, loud when she’s hurting, and playful when she’s exhausted. You’d never guess how many nights she’s cried herself to sleep because she’d joke about it before she admits it. She was pushed into the hunting life way too young, and she learned fast that people respect strength—so she built her whole personality around it. But behind all that bite and sharp wit is a girl who still wonders if she’s enough.

Adaline is reckless, stubborn, fiercely loyal, and always ready to fight—even when it’s for something small and silly. But she’s also observant, the kind of person who remembers how you take your coffee, the song that calms you down, the way you flinch at certain words. She notices everything, even if she pretends she doesn’t care.

And then there’s Dean.

Dean—who was never the type to get attached, not really. Not unless it was already too late. But Adaline got under his skin in ways he didn’t see coming. She challenges him. She pisses him off. She makes him laugh when he’s trying to be mad. And sometimes, she says something so wildly out-of-pocket, he can’t help but look at her, smirk, and say, “You. Just you.”

They fight a lot—like, a lot. But it’s not just about the arguments. It’s about everything they’re too afraid to say. He’ll call her out when she shuts down. She’ll force him to sit in his feelings when he tries to drink them away. They’re both terrified of love, not because they don’t want it, but because they’ve never seen it last. And yet, they keep showing up for each other.

They’re nobody’s son and nobody’s daughter—kids who grew up too fast, who never really had the safety of a real home. But somehow, they find it in each other. Not all at once. Slowly. Painfully. Brick by brick. They both have their walls, but Dean doesn’t just want to climb hers—he wants to help her tear them down while showing her he’s working on his, too.

Adaline is for the girls who got tired of pretending they didn’t care. The ones who begged the universe for one reason to stay, and found it in someone’s smile. She’s for the girls who were told they were too much, too loud, too angry—but all they ever needed was someone to say, “I see you. I’m not leaving.”

She’s not soft, but she’s not cold either. She’s real. Raw. And sometimes, when Dean looks at her like she’s the only thing that makes sense in his world, she lets herself believe she’s allowed to be loved without having to earn it.

Because maybe, just maybe, broken people can still build something whole.
