meet the writer: rosesrot.
hi, i’m rose rao.
i write because there isn’t nearly enough fucked-up queer stuff in the world. don’t get me wrong, i love the sweet sapphics as much as the next person; but us of that kind is the only kind of us acceptable to the mainstream. where’s our chaos, our complexities, where’s our destruction? where is it, on our own terms?
because of that, i attempt to explore modern identity, queerness, and relationships through the latent abjection that is inherent within oneself: touching on the haphazard, taboo, and less-than-desired spaces that we take up. my stories intend to be a reclamatory celebration—and catharsis—of the darker human aspects we prefer not to think about.
that is to say: i write about girls, sapphics, friendships and destructions; i thrive with fucked-up queer stuff; glorious girls and fallen girls, walking-dead girls and manic-made girls; i'm in love with the deranged and the apotheotic.
are you?
(projects below.)
▼ story #1: CUCKOOSONG, a book trilogy about a pair of thrill-killing sapphics who escape from their lifetime of captivity, believing they can make the world theirs through death; but the scientist that made them the way they are will stop at nothing to hunt them down. an exploration of trauma, identity, worldmaking, and destructive love.
inspirations: killing eve; ariel; mad girl's love song; death tractates; american psycho; the erl-king (angela carter); gods and mortals and girls
(image by @wide-awake-and-dead-xx)
△ story #2: ENTER SERAPHIM and IN THE HALLS OF HALLOW, a collaborative book duology with @wide-awake-and-dead-xx about a band of societal outcasts who find each other through the murder hotel they run to. an exploration of connections, relationships, and found family.
inspirations: stephen king; chuck palahniuk; h.h. holmes and his murder hotel; american horror story
(art by @nitunioart)
▼ game #1: MORTAL COIL, a visual novel about a VR death game reality TV show where if you die in game, you die in real life. a deconstruction of youtuber, streaming, and vtuber culture.
inspirations: social media; youtube; twitch; vtubers; hunger games; danganronpa; squid game; mafia (the party game); town of salem; hong kong
(art by miencha and graphic by James Molloy)
△ game #2: SERAPHIM SLUM, a spooktober visual novel about a girl who moves to the slums and meets three girls that intrigue her. a deconstruction of what it means to be the devil.
inspirations: the devil we know; kakegurui; paradise lost; richard iii; dr faustus; the kowloon walled city
△ game #3: TBN, a visual novel about a Prom Queen who must discover the identity of her killer to break free from the repetitive cycle of reliving her death on Prom Night. a dark coming-of-age deconstruction of gender and girlhood.
inspirations: heathers; happy death day; carrie; insatiable; drop dead gorgeous; dare me; candyman
(image credit: @tsamporadhoe; image above only used as aesthetic representation; i have no claim to the characters portrayed.)
△ screenplay #1: REQUIEM OF THEIR BODIES, a film about a misanthropic queen bee who must team up with her ex-girlfriend’s trans brother to secure the votes for Prom victory, but his eerie terms threaten to confront her repressed dysphoria and her dark secrets.
inspirations: see above! this screenplay is a darker alternate universe of the visual novel.
thank you for reading. i hope you enjoy what i write and find a kind of catharsis in it too.
~ Rose.

For the one word to describe your art: either "infected" or "late" (like dead or a late time of day)
I really adore this especially the double meaning on the word late, thank you

I am so in fucking awe at this story
Guys, y’all need to give @moonami a follow too—multitalented in writing AND super lovely art that touches on similar themes like mine
i will be married to silence
you no longer need to wear your crown
warmup sketch.. yes mother I know I draw the same pose everyday, nobody complains about hello Kitty bein drawn sitting or waving her dumb little paw on every damn backpack or piece of stationery, so
do send me assumptions about this story/couple, only thing I can say is the mummy man is mute
