Cosmic Horror… but cosy?

I absolutely ADORE the cosy, autumnal designs of the cosmic beings created by Penflower Ink! Looking forward to seeing more from this new series!

The Scuttling Hug is my favourite (so far) <3

As mentioned in my bio, i’m writing my first novel (not counting ghostwriting projects lol).

The best way i can sum it up is a sapphic cosy horror story.

Image description under the cut

Slide 1: A forest green background. In white lettering, a title reads: "Home" In the centre of the page, there is the cover art for this episode. It pictures mountains, trees, and a cottage. The cover art has arrows pointing away from it with text coming off them. The text coming off the arrows reads as the following: "1. Trans femme werewolf 2. Buy a cottage, go feral 3. New life in the country 4. Narrator tells a story 5. The dream of owning a house 6. Gothic and slightly scary 7. Be the spooky horror that lives in the woods 8. Reclaim your body, make your home.”

Slide 2: A forest green background. There is a design of a piece of paper in the centre of the page. On the paper, text reads: “A story of finding a place for yourself. Of reclamation, of home.” There are trees across the top of the page, and a cottage in the bottom right corner.

Slide 3: A forest green background. Covering most of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, an excerpt from the episode reads: “Narrator: When choosing a home one should consider the meaning of the word. Not merely a place you sleep or eat or while away the hours but a place where you live.  For Sally this criteria was at the front of her mind as she walked the “beautiful and well cared for” land that would come with her new abode, not yet having earned ‘home’. The paths crisscrossed through the ancient woodland and she could hear all sorts of chirps, crunches and rustlings that spoke of a place very much alive. She had always enjoyed this feeling, ever since she was small, she spent much of her time in the small patches of green that dotted the city she was raised in.” There are trees in the top right corner.

Slide 4: A forest green background. In the centre of the page, there is a design of white lined paper. On the paper, the credits read: “CREW: Written by J.T. Jenkins. Directed by J.T. Jenkins. Audio editing by Zoey Davis, Cover art by Alex Abrahams. CAST: J.T. Jenkins as the Narrator. Moira-Juliet Scott as Sally. Bridget Guziewicz as Brian. Bee Hill as Thea. Calumny Winder and Jordan Hendrickson as the Other Voice in the Woods.” There is a cottage on the right side of the page.

Isn't cosy horror just.... spooky? Like Scooby Doo?

Hey, what's something that will definitely make you turn pages while reading a fantasy book? What makes the world, plot or characters intriguing for you?

For me it's the mood of the book. The world can't be to "cold" and "sterile" or "deserted" like in dystopias and westerns. I also can't stand worlds that feel like delirious dreams. But I love when the story has some mystery, a promise, a spark of magic from the very beginning. I love when the world feels familiar but not entirely, like there's still something to discover. And I like it to be cosy but there's also a chance for some horror. I like cities covered in snow, little rainy villages, misty forests, windy hills.

When it's about the plot, I love magical adventures, not travels from place A to place B (those I find extremely boring no matter what happens during all the travelling) but unveiling mysteries and navigating through complicated intrigues.

As for characters, give me unassuming ones, introverts, silent types, those who have their secrets, those who have magic inside them, soft but stoic ones. Artists, professors, scientists, book lovers, sorcerers and rulers.

What about you?
