this is a revamp of my old writeblr intro post and my oc masterlist (of characters from a specific story)

he/it, 24 y.o. writer who likes monster stuff, sometimes i draw, mostly i just think about my ocs

stories you might hear about (random number tags so i don't have to change when i change the title)

#97 - my main story (set in fall of 1987) about a horror author named heather who gets into some in-law drama when she finds out her husband's side of the families are all vampires, and also kind of assholes, but that's not a vampire thing they already had problems as humans.

#6139 - this is a revamp of an old story i made when i said, quote, "everyone has their own version of scooby doo adjacent characters." well they don't but now i do. mostly follows a guy named casey who is ghost-hunting with his old boss that's totally not a ripoff of vincent van ghoul.

#8286 - a story mostly on the backburner that i hope to revisit someday, about an '80s-flavored world in the distant future of 2013 where everyone lives in a super-mall. the main character, andrea, is a cyborg investigative reporter recently surgically attached to a self-help bot, vita, who would very much like if andrea did not nearly die in billionaire-related attacks every weekend.

other important tags

#art tag - where i post my drawings

#insp - where i put drawings that make me want to draw

#the library - all sorts of writing

#the wizard's scroll - my writing specifically

#wiz.txt - yapping

your writing doesn’t have to be perfect. it just has to make someone feel something.

"The problem with trying to be historically accurate, is that history doesn't care"

So much of the time we think of historical cultures as being very uniform, but people have always been weird, and our expectations of past behaviour don't always match the reality!
