[findroleplay]

Why hi! I’m a twenty-five year old gal who’s looking to do some roleplays based in various fandoms. I’m an advanced-lit writer who writes 4 paragraphs at the minimum (and very often maxes out the word limit on discord rip) looking for a writing partner with a similar writing length!! (And one who has the same obsession with hurt/comfort as I do omg) Looking for long-term roleplays with writers who are 21+. I prefer to write on discord and will make us servers to write, plot, etc! Here are the dynamics I’d like to write (italicized names are the characters I prefer playing!) I am also totally down to roleplay OC based plot lines within any of these fandoms as well! If interested please like this post and I’ll reach out!

Which "The National" song best describes the way you love?

THE PULL OF YOU

“ i know i can get attached and then unattached / to my own versions of others / my view of you comes back and drops away ”. your love is nervous and frightened and love, to you, feels like a curse at best. you wish to be free of it, but it keeps haunting you —— at times you manage to pull away and breathe again, others it feels as if you will choke without it. loving you can be exhausting, excruciating in a way: loving you is a little like loving the storm, never knowing when lightning will crack, but learning to appreciate the rain.

What color is your aura?

GARNET

brooches, anthologies, stained glass, leaves, dining chairs, long robes, curtains. your essence is garnet: you are a quiet flame that dwells beneath your soft surface. self-confidence armors you; many would call you stubborn, though protective of what has come to dwell in your heart. always just a whisper away is your temper, promising to make the world bend if it would make your loved ones smile. you are the guardian. you are the volcano. you find kinship in like-minded individuals of terracotta, tawny, crimson, and umber, who share your proactive nature. you are also drawn to the vibrant indigo and marigold, who will help you grow and teach you to name what's inside of you. however, you may struggle to get along with the internal personalities of teal and hickory who are too willing to be silent.

What are your hands covered in?

BLOOD

Do you hear the screams of them, as you take and take and take? You never stop taking, right? Because the world took so much from you. It’s fair, right? Even as you dig your hands into their chest and pull, trying to rip apart something that has hurt you. Even as they grasp weakly at your wrists, sobbing and pleading, saying that they’re sorry. It must have hurt. Hurt much more than this for you to do it. Their chest heaves and you hold their heart in your hands. It looks the same as yours. Isn’t that interesting?

Which tarot card are you?

THE MOON

You are imaginative, often lost in fantasies. Your intuition is powerful and you can often trust your gut instincts. Just like the moon, you have lots of different sides and interests and people perceive you as mysterious.

Let me describe you in one adjective

ENDLESS

you're empty, aren't you? you contain multitudes, as everyone does. but you've looked into your own vastness and found it unbearable to know how much of yourself you contain. just because the ocean is huge and unexplored and filled with miles of nothing but water doesn't mean people don't find it beautiful anyway. after all, emptiness can only be filled if someone puts something there to grow.

How do strangers perceive you?

THE GROUND BENEATH US IS SOLID

sitting under a tree in summer. the sound of light rain on a metal roof and old wooden coffee tables. getting so absorbed in a story that hours pass without you noticing. you probably judge people who don't use coasters. your best feature is your hands. you're often pretty logical, but you're also very gentle. you're not aggressive, but you do have strong opinions. you like gardening. you have a deep need for comfort and security. you like things to make sense. you're afraid of circumstances out of control, but letting go helps you live so much more vividly than you could ever imagine.

What's your role in the tragic play?

MISUNDERSTOOD VILLAIN

prepare for an onslaught of both the most dehumanizing and hateful takes, and flood of thirst comments. you are chronically misunderstood. whether or not you're actually evil is debatable. you may be acting out for revenge, to defend someone you love, or even just to protect yourself. you're a pretty jaded person. you don't trust or even really like most people. maybe you did at one point. but that part of you is gone, and you don't go a single day without grieving it. you think a lot about what your life could have been. you're stuck in the past. you're angry and maybe you don't even want to be, but this is the only way you can see to survive. you're open, but less in a trusting way and more like a wound. you don't like to let people see you, but the hurt spills out of you before you can stop it. you're impulsive, even as you try hard to plan and prepare. maybe someday your side of the story will finally be heard. until then, you can convince yourself that being hated is safer anyway.

What part of this haunted house are you?

THE SPIRIT

You’re trapped here, aren’t you, even if you like to say it’s of your own volition. I know better, and I bet you do, too. There’s this sickening kind of resentment that lives in your stomach, always trying to claw up and out through your mouth. People think they are entitled to your time and your being simply because you exist, which makes you feel both seen and entirely invisible at the same time. It feeds that anger inside of you, and it is a matter of time, every time, before that resentment turns sour, climbs out of your lungs, and rears its head at whoever is closest. This is your home. You’re the keeper of this house, and, in turn, it keeps you.

point horror is an aggregate horror series created in 1991 by scholastic inc, with novels written by authors r.l. stine,  lisa j. Smith, diane hoh, richie tankersley cusick, christopher pike, and caroline b. cooney. point horror is being made into a tv anthology series by hbo max (titled "point fear", possibly dead in the water w/ the restructuring of the service...). this post is about the locations and main plot points in the series. this post has mentions of suicide, drownings, and murder. please tread carefully. non-rp blogs do not interact with this post.

nightmare hall (spinoff series, diane hoh) — not it's actual name, but what students at the university refer to it as. a girl was said to have hanged herself in the dorm of the main character. the actual dorm building is nightingale hall at salem university. there's a pizza place on campus and a mechanical wizard fortune teller machine that kids go wild asking questions of. the popular sorority is omega phi delta. tri gamma from twisted could also be a sorority at salem u, but they are different authors.

the country house (trick or treat, richie tankersley cusick) — located somewhere in illinois outside of chicago. there's a cemetery on the property.

manorwood (help wanted, richie tankersley cusick) — located in florida, manorwood is the stately home of the swanson family, and the site of another supposed suicide that was actually murder.

santa luisa (funhouse, diane hoh) — assumed to be in california, santa luisa is a small boardwalk beach town with an amusement park.

greenhaven (the invitation, diane hoh) — connecticut adjacent, this is a book where popular cass rockham's fall party is legendary in their small town, but invites mayhem and murder one unsuspecting year.

the lake (the accident, diane hoh) — the lake is where a young girl drowned and is now haunted by her ghost. main character megan gets possessed by the ghost for a while. the ghost (i think her name is jane?) uses mirrors to find people she wants to possess, so the ghost can pretty much go anywhere.

beverly island (the lifeguard, richie tankersley cusick) — deadly lifeguards make life a living hell for the tourists on beverly island. they should be saving people, right? not harming them? someone tell them that. seems to be modeled after a small fishing town in maine. beach house (r.l. stine) would likely take place in this same area, with a killer on the loose who never leaves any clue behind and disappears without a trace.

there is a perfume line consisting of poison, venom, and obsession, sold at the store dry ice (a hot topic dupe) in the local mall. the perfume is pulled from shelves and the store disappears from existence after wreaking havoc on dove's life.

a character has the ability to freeze people she touches and uses this to get revenge on her friend for dating the boy she likes.

vampires exist in this series and are featured in the cheerleader and the vampire's promise spinoff series.

CONGRATULATIONS, KIERSTEN! YOU’VE BEEN ACCEPTED FOR THE ROLE OF EPHEMERA.

Admin Rosey: There is something incredibly arresting about Ephemera that I thought would be difficult for someone to capture. There’s something powerful and pivotal that surrounds her - it’s why so many had fallen to their feet in order to worship her. Kiersten, you captured that perfectly. Absolutely perfectly. There line that stuck with me, throughout the application, was this:  Ephemera is, quite simply, a terrible beauty. That is what I always saw Ephemera as - terrible and beautiful. The kind that defines the divinity of angels. I am so incredibly excited to welcome Ephemera to the dash, and you to the group! Please create and send in your account, review the information on our CHECKLIST, and follow everyone on the FOLLOW LIST. Welcome to the Holy Land!

OUT OF CHARACTER

Alias | Kiersten

Age | 22

Preferred Pronouns | she/her/hers

Activity Level | I’m entering my final year of university with the lightest credit load I’ve had since sophomore year, but I’m also in the process of applying to post-grad programs ( :/ ) and co-editing an anthology for one of the departments here on campus. With that being said, I hope to get a reply out every other day, or once every two days. However, I’m chaotic and oftentimes mean to hold and/or queue replies, but end up flooding the dash. If I could give you a number, it’d be 6/10, realistically, but I’m pretty much always around on Discord to plot and/or chat!

IN CHARACTER

Character | Ephemera - The Virtue of Prudence (with a FC change to Levy Tran, if you please? uwu)

What drew you to this character? | Ephemera is, quite simply, a terrible beauty. I’ve always been enthralled by angels and their place in different aspects of existence--as messengers, saviors, harbingers of punishment, and more--but I never quite thought of there being an angel like Ephemera and I love her all the more for it. She is a true free spirit, she is the best and worst of God; she is the first mortal to be granted wings and instead of crumbling under the weight of the honor, she rose to the occasion and exceeded expectations. She’s a glorious being deserving of adulation… How could I not be drawn to her? 

What future plots do you have in mind for the character? | 

i. Just as it was God’s folly to give His beguiling creation wings, it was His folly to dictate that she be named Ephemera. There is power in a name, and Ephemera’s literally translates to “something that is enjoyed for only a short amount of time.” How, then, is it her fault that longstanding peace knows no home in her celestial frame? Because of this, I can easily see the Virtue as a near vulture of sorts, just waiting to capitalize upon the misfortune of those beneath her. I don’t think it would be out of character for the conqueror of an angel to pick at the fraying tendrils of peace throughout the lands while Michael and his advisors are none the wiser, instigating discord whenever she deemed it politically smart—for herself, that is. 

ii. It is not often that a deity such as herself sees what could be considered an equal in someone else, but such is the fate of Ephemera and DMITRI. He is the Horseman of Conquest and she is conquest’s keeper—she, who’s known nothing but adulation for her victories as both a mortal and an angel; she, who bested her own Creator at the end… And wouldn’t be opposed to besting the Horsemen, either. I would love to explore the dynamic between these two on a micro-level (with Ephemera trying to strategically mold Dmitri into the harbinger of Death that she believes they are to be, for example), but also the dynamic between them on a macro-level that is inclusive as the HORSEMEN as a unit, as well. One of the oldest tactics of war is to divide and conquer, and the idea crosses the strategist’s mind every time she sees the Pale Horseman. What would it take to force one entity into four, all just ripe for her taking? What would Ephemera give to have such power at her fingertips? Further still, what would she do with that sort of power? 

iii. She could have sworn she was careful enough--she disposed of plucked feathers by fire, she made sure to appear wounded when necessary, and more--and still, she was brought to stand trial for her sins against her Creator. Ephemera certainly did not out herself to God, so who did? With this plot, I would love for Ephemera to search for whoever told her Creator (a CHERUBIM, perhaps?) about her stints as a god in her own right. She is haunted by the mistake even though things have turned out well for her because she doesn’t know what she did wrong--and how could she refrain from repeating her mistake if she knows nothing about it? 

iv. Ephemera is all-too aware of BASTIEN’s obsession with her--her battle stories, her military presence, her sharp mind--and is often annoyed by his incessant behavior, as she finds it difficult to believe that the mortal hasn’t yet realized her disinterest in him stems from the fact that she’s deemed him unworthy of her undivided attention. The angel knows that the Avalos man greedily laps at whatever scraps she deigns to toss his way, and, sometimes, the information she tosses his way is rotten; sometimes, she gives half-truths and embellished accounts of her encyclopedic war accounts, or gives withering comments about his militaristic plans even if she agrees with them for two reasons. The first is that she hopes it negatively impacts the whelp of a mortal enough to leave her alone, and the second is that she hopes it also negatively impacts the mortals’ military forces--especially as times become more and more strenuous between demons, angels, and mortals.  

v. Eternity is a long time to exist without amusement and she is so grateful for CADE BEKKER and his utter disdain for everything, for he is her favorite plaything. She knows he sees her as a beast waiting to be befelled, but does he not know that the Virtue evaded and had a hand in the death of God and has no qualms about doing the same to him? She is content to watch him seethe, but she wants more. I love the idea of Ephemera taunting Cade so much that it eventually does end in a fight--but one that he started, one that she can justify to herself and the others. A Virtue versus a Gifted… What a bellicose event that would be!

vi. The GIFTED are the mortals that catch Ephemera’s attention with begrudging ease (even more so than the REINCARNATED), and of the Gifted, she takes most caution around REVNA VOLK. The Virtue’s mind is her prized possession, and Revna’s very existence serves as a threat to it; as such, Ephemera is keen on keeping an eye on the mortal to ensure that she’s not blindsided by anything she does; when she looks at Revna, she feels feelings of bitterness--not because she thinks she’ll ever fall victim to the Daughter of Lies’ tricks, but because God’s divinity makes a mockery out of her as it settles in Revna’s bones. (Even in death, it seems that God intends to taunt her and keep her chained to Him in some way). This one is really open-ended and it can go a couple of ways: with the angel trying to take Revna under her wing in order to keep herself safe (similar to the way in which God brought her closer to Him despite her transgressions against Him), or she could work to make Revna’s life difficult in the Holy Land by advocating for things that would negatively impact her or keep her from gaining any more traction in the political realm. 

vii. They say that like calls to like and that both angels and demons are but two halves of the same coin—and, perhaps, in the rawest of terms, they are correct. Like the demon that she is, SALOME pulls a viciousness from Ephemera that reminds the angel of the Old Testament God—of a God that was divinely terrible and possessed a haughtiness that so often informed the deliverance of punishments to those who couldn’t help but fall short of the expectations placed on their incapable shoulders. God found it easy to lose Himself in His throes of battle and glory and passion, and there’s a part of Ephemera that clings to His likeness despite her repeated successes at besting Him; she, too, finds herself susceptible to His same weakness. 

Most mistakes made by the Virtue of Prudence are never capitalized on, as they’re so few and far between and tend not to be egregious enough to exploit; however, time is as merciless as she, and it exposes what few chinks do exist in Ephemera’s armor while also giving Salome time to start to understand. I’m really excited to play out the relationship between these two beings, especially as Ephemera simultaneously believes she’s better than Salome, but knows Salome can capitalize on her mistakes--and oh, how she detests the way the demon smiles when she knows the angel has made an error! 

viii. Ephemera feels as though she chose MICHAEL as much as he chose her, which is why she feels comfortable enough to lord her part in Caelum’s creation over his head, should he begin to forget that it was her military brainchild that led to God being tossed from Heaven and her battalions that stifled the even the strongest of Heretic strikes. For now, she is content to remain by his side because he affords her freedoms that God was too cowardly to, but ephemera are not meant to be enjoyed for eternity. What would it take to turn the mind against the body, the Virtue against the one who bequeathed her such an honor? How would the King of Caelum react to being extorted, in a sense, by his own military advisor?

Are you comfortable with killing off your character? | Yea! It be like that sometimes but so long as it makes sense, serves the plot, and befits the glorious conqueror that is Ephemera I am down to clown uwu

IN DEPTH

Driving Character Motivation | 

(Ephemera has always been divine, but she’s not always been an angel; as such, her driving motivation has changed with her!)

  As a MORTAL, Ephemera was driven by SUCCESS. Her life was hard-won and something she snatched without so much of a second thought; she wanted to be brilliant, and so she was. She was the first woman to rally her people to prestige and glory and led them to prosperity with her wisdom and iron-clad fist; she made a lover out of Death time and time again, but always evaded both it and God because she is bigger than them both and her successes attest to this. 

As an ANGEL, however, she quickly realized that successes (even awe-inspiring ones like her own) were dimes a dozen and was left wanting more, wanting something of substance in an eternal life rather than worshipping God without end. She found solace in her own FREE WILL and never looked back—but who can blame her, as she is only adhering to God’s wish for His beloved creations? Ephemera values herself and her freedom above all else, but even she knows that the strongest of generals need legions behind them; she stays aligned with Michael and his kingdom because she wants to, not because she must. 

In-Character Para Sample | 

“What do you have to say for yourself, my child?”

She expects nothing less from God, who loves her so that He wishes to give her a chance to explain herself. Fool, she defiantly thinks as she stands at the throne of her Creator, head unbowed and expression unfazed. The angel waits to respond, forcing an uncomfortable silence upon them both--and God, enraptured with His own work, allows her to do so and again bring attention to His folly. He is steadfast in His love and grace with her especially, as she is closer to his truest loves--his mortals--than any of the other celestial beings that gather to watch the sentencing of the woman whom they believed never truly deserved her place among beings as divine as themselves. 

Ephemera knows what is expected of her: utter repentance, a grand show of regret and sorrow, and a promise to never again commit such an offense against her wondrous Maker again. She has seen it before and it only further stoked her ire against the selfish God that holds her here in a farce of a trial in an attempt to break her will and reinstate His place as both the Alpha and Omega. She will now bow nor will she beg for forgiveness; if anything, He should be prostrate at her throne, begging for her forgiveness as it is His wretched desire to keep his favorite mortal in his dominion like she is a pet. She is unapologetic as she responds, voice unwavering: “I have done no different than You have done Yourself.” 

The silence of the throne room shatters. Cherubim cry out in disgust at such blasphemy; Seraphim gasp and whisper, eyes wide with disgust that someone they called a comrade would do something so heinous. God raises a hand and the outcries stop; He looks to his masterpiece expectantly, and Ephemera continues, “In the presence of Your own omniscience, I spent centuries disguising myself as a mortal to once again feel more than loathing.” 

The pain that flashes across His face is genuine and full of agony; it’s an expression Ephemera knows because she’s seen it flit across the visages of others she’s conquered throughout her lifetimes as Athena and Nike, Minerva and Freya. And still, she does not bend at her knees and profess her love; she remains upright and earnest--and how could she not, when she’s done nothing wrong? 

“My creation,” God says, “you know the cost of such transgressions.” 

She does. She’s heard tales of Moloch and Chemosh and Dagon; she knows the penalty of disobedience is the stripping of wings from bodies. She’s been told of the excruciating pain, of the near demonic screams that spilled from the angels’ lips as God punished them enough to traumatize them with pain, but not enough to offer the sweet outlet of ceasing to exist--and yet, she is more bothered by His language. Ephemera can’t help but bristle as He, even when threatening her with a wingless existence, lays claim to her as though she did not mold herself into the wonder that she is.

“Rip my wings off.” It’s a bold challenge that once again riles the watching masses. They call her a heretic, a foolhardy mortal who deserves to return from the same dust from which she came--and God does nothing but drink in the sight of the beguiling creature at His throne that refuses to pledge her loyalty to Him and not herself. 

How can He condemn her to such a painful existence? She is one of his finest creations.

He lifts a mighty hand and she braces herself for pain, but does not balk or cower. His fingertips run down her ivory plumage, paying careful attention to the places she plucked to masquerade as a mortal. Ephemera clenches her jaw and it remains locked even as His touch leaves her wings. 

“How could I, my Ephemera?” And so, He decides to draw her closer to Him still in spite of her blatant sins against him. She is a Seraphim--His Seraphim--and He all but chains her to Him by revoking her privilege to traverse alongside mortals and ordering that she stay close to His side via pretentious titles such as general, His strategist, His masterpiece, and more.

Ephemera loathes Him all the more for it.

The Virtue’s wings seem to mimic her sword, in the sense that they, too, glisten as though they were cut from unforgiving ice. Ephemera’s lush, ivory plumage is, upon close inspection, flecked with gold; however, the silver tips of her feathers are far more noticeable, allowing for a more ice-like appearance. When she used to parade as a mortal, she would pluck her own feathers to make her wings less full and easier to conceal. It must be God’s favor, then, that still shines on her, as there is no evidence--save for the phantom sensations prickling against her skin--of her past actions. 

Ephemera’s companions throughout her eternal existence have varied, and they are often depicted at her side by the devoted mortals that dubbed her their goddesses--Nike, Athena, Freya, and Minerva--and etched her glorious likeliness into word, gold, and marble. Her companions, too, came from those devoted mortals, and Ephemera strategically chose which animals to accept as gifts and keep at her side. These animals, kept by the angel throughout her stints as different mortal deities, include: a barn owl, a white King Cobra, a wild boar, and a silver dapple Arabian horse. 

No longer needing an animal to symbolize herself to the mortals of the Old World, Ephemera made the decision to stop keeping companions and instead chose to focus on plans to overthrow God. Since then, however, the angel has acquired a red fox companion--but if you ask her, she would assert that the fox chose her, as the animal followed her home from the forest one night. Ephemera ignored the vixen at first, but soon found herself amused by her wit and overall penchant for chaos. Ephemera named the fox Gloria--a nod to the Latin word ‘gloriae’ that is synonymous with immortal glory, fame, renown, praise, and honor.  

The Virtue of Prudence keeps no written records of her strategies, aside from the plans she gave Michael in response to and as a show of her allegiance to the dissatisfaction that led to the usurping of God. 

Ephemera is, in some capacity, always prepared for battle. Conquest and the desire for victory run rampantly through her veins, and growing comfortable in her surroundings is tantamount to accepting defeat and complacency--both of which, of course, are absolutely unacceptable for this divine conqueror. Because of this, the angel is incredibly observant and never leaves without her sword, even though she has rarely used it since the quelling of the God and, subsequently, Heretics.

[chi-capricorni]

Just a little brainstorming for a Urstyle roleplay I’ll never make because I don’t think anyone would want to play an 80 year old woman who thinks her grand son may be possessed by the dead lover that she killed while on her honeymoon.

Based on The Haunting anthology series & it’s original source materials, as well as many of the other adaptions (in particular The Haunting, 1999). The plot of the group would follow Dr. Eleanor Ritter as she invites 5-6 individuals with self proclaimed ‘supernatural’ experiences to take part in a psychological study. The Manor itself is spooky as hell and naturally, it doesn’t take long before things go bump in the night & Ritter’s perception of the Supernatural is put to the test.

Each member would develop their own ghost story and as things unraveled in the mansion it would be up to them to solve the mystery of the Manor, Ritter & their own pasts.

The above images are of (1) the old lady in her youth & her lover (models tbd) and (2) my voice to text description of the group when I thought of it while I was sitting in the parking lot after work. This premise isn’t original, but I do really like the idea of everyone developing a ghost story for themselves & then having them all be at this old, decrepit Manor (that they’re probably only using because the owners needed to make some money and Ritter would pay the big bucks to rent it for the three week trial). 

There’d be lots of ghosts lurking in the background (I almost typed bathroom and immediately got P.T. gameplay flashbacks), lots of suspicious characters & of course at least one murderer in the group.

Anyways, maybe I’ll develop it as a tumblr rp and dip my toe into that scene with this. I’m still so intimidated and kind of need to get a grip when it comes to blog formatting before I’d trust myself but I think it could be fun.

* Memory’s caged bird wont fly.

* We stare deep in the eyes of strangers.

* Let a minute unravel in my hands.

{LISTEN TO MY STORY...}

So I have been putting this off for the longest time because well, i wasn’t sure this was something that I was gonna start or actually keep up with. However, sometimes in my creative things turn out a whole lot better when I sit and just do what drives my passion than allowing it to fester. Here I am doing just that, taking one foot into the writeblr community. I guess that I am going to use this as a way to hold myself accountable for; both my writing and my creative process. Those can be saved for more rambles later on. Guess to here is to introduce the basics of me!

{Basics}

Name: Isabella Nicknames: Issy (preferred) Beesy, Issy Bee Age: Twenty-Two (22) Pronouns: She/Her Gender & Identity: Cisfemale, Demiromantic Pansexual Astrology: Scorpio, Scorpio Rising, Virgo Moon Hogwarts House:  Ravenclaw Myers–Briggs Type: INFP

FUN FACT: I HAVE DYSLEXIA AND JUST NOTICED I SPELT WRITEBLR WRONG IN THE GRAPHIC BUT ALAS I DID NOT SAVE IT.   BUT I SHALL WRITE ONE ^-^

{Writing Past and Preferences }

✧ Writer of trashy Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy fanfictions where I pretty much dropped them into a high school setting and writing about my OTPS. We all had to begin somewhere with our online writing adventures. Heavily, influenced by video game storytelling as well as wonderful animes, oh and not to forget hauntingly beautiful cartoons, like Over the Garden Wall.

✦ Once upon a time, I use to roleplay on a little site called polyvore. This was one of my first steps into collaborative writing. A start to be building up characters, working on developing plots with others whilst looking at cause and effect. A beautiful experience that encouraged me to continuously write on.  

✧ Actively, a writer in the GRPC, however, rather selective to roleplays and who I write as. Confidently, I write as Tina Cohen-Chang, a character rather neglected on the show yet I try my best to make her a well-rounded characters with flaws, relationships whilst sustaining her identity and voice. Somehow I have managed to make a rather unliked character, likable to some which I feel within my writing in the RP community is a high achievement. With that being said, most of my 1x1 roleplays tend to flow around plot lines inspired by video games with essences of magical and supernatural elements.    

✦ Part of high school creative writing groups. Have been published twice in different anthologies and gosh, where those adventures teenage angst.

✧ My preferred genres are fantasy and supernatural. Anything that holds the themes of friendships or darkness and light (which are very much my jam). When writing I never shy away from writing angst and painful scenes, which hopefully make sense to the story.

✦ When writing something that is important to me is looking at friendships and how those develope but also I want to write stories with people like myself and people that I know. For the longest time I have struggled to find any characters that is like myself or portrays the friendships that mean the world to me. So if I don’t see it then I am going to write those beautiful friendships myself! That being said  POC and LGBTQIA+ representation is a must in my stories because the real world should even be seen in the fictional, right?

{CURRENT WIPS}

Gonna try and keep these short and sweet to try not into too much detail about each project cause I hope to be posting about them sooner on this blog woop woop!  

✧ Reckless Lullabies | fantasy/coming of age | summer is coming to an end and it is the last year in high school, the time where you try and figure out who you are and the mark that you leave on your town, that is exactly what the noise committee wants to do. their final year in the boring little town, all until mysterious attacks known as “the haunting” begin to invade the town. with a little bit of magic at their fingertips, the noise committee will make sure to protect it.   ✦ Hell is Empty  | supernatural | everyone believes that hell is this fiery inferno where you are engulfed in flames for all damnation. it’s anything but that. a frozen wasteland with an eternal winter, where every lost soul travels a path of solitude for eons- apart from one rumor. if one listens closely to the wind you’ll be able to hear it, the only way to leave this wicked place is to battle the demon king, defeat him and the world can be yours. just remember, the devil is in the detail. ✧When The Lights So Out | friendship/romance/supernatural | everyone know about the red string of fate, an invisible string that connects everyone to the one soul that is bound to theirs. may it be: a lover, a best friend, the one person you die for, you know that there is someone who is there for you, even beyond the planes we live. however, what happens to the people whose strings are cut, severed from the one they were meant to be with? where do they go? easy, the follow down the dark path by the flickering street lights, until they reached the darkness to the city vuoto with other lost souls.

yslanam replied to your post: I still wanna RP in the Demon Knight-verse

On the one hand, this sounds pretty involved and I don’t want to miss out on VLotD. On the other hand, this sounds awesome and I have no idea what the Crypt thing is, but I would totally read this fic!

[rubs hands together] Okay so...

“Tales from the Crypt” was originally a horror comic anthology series published by EC comics. It was one of three that they put out (the others being “The Vault of Horror” and “The Haunt of Fear”), and... well, let me stay on track, because I can and will babble about TftC, EC, and William M. Gaines for a while if I’m allowed to.

In 1989, HBO started a “Tales From the Crypt” TV show. The Cryptkeeper (a puppet, voice by John Kassir who also did the voice of Meeko the Raccoon in Pocahontas - let that sink in) would book-end each story - almost all from one of the three EC horror comics - with bad puns and horrifically screeching laughter.

I freaking love this show. (Well, the last season sucked, but what’re you gonna do?) Anyway, they made a movie. Technically more than one but we don’t talk about those. Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight.

Is it good? Eh, probably not by most people’s standards. It’s schlocky, it’s gory and gross, it has unnecessary sex and a killer soundtrack (pun entirely intended). But it’s basically a feature-length version of a TftC episode, except with waaaaaaaaay better worldbuilding and also Billy Zane romping around chewing scenery. I adore Demon Knight and I especially love its world (well, really, universe) building.

As explained by the main character:

Brayker: You wanna know what’s going on? Shall I tell you? In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth... Irene: You’re talking Genesis. THAT beginning? Brayker: And the Earth was a formless void and Darkness covered the face of the deep. But the Darkness wasn’t empty. It was full of creatures... full of demons. And they had seven Keys formed into a circle that focused the power of the cosmos into their hands. Until God stepped forth and said, “Let there be light.” And there was Light. He scattered the demons, and He scattered the Keys, all across the universe. Now we fast forward about two or three million millennia. Now the demons are back. They got six of the Keys. And one day, they find the seventh Key here on Earth. 

To save it, God filled it with the blood of... a carpenter, who was being crucified by the Romans, and gave it to a thief named Sirach. Jeryline: The blood ins-inside... is that...? Brayker: Some of it, yeah. It gets used, y’see. Sirach had to refill it. Bad neck wound. Talon caught the artery here [tracing it on his own throat]. Most of what’s in here now belonged to a soldier named Dickerson, gave it to me in France, August 23, 1917. Funny how you remember the big dates, isn’t it? Bob: Jeeze. That, uh... would make you...  Uncle Willy: What happens when you run out of blood? Brayker: They bring back the Darkness. Uncle Willy: Just like that?! Brayker: Just like that. So. Now you know. [looking around at all of them] You feel better?

The Demon Knights are all thieves. Each one is marked with seven stars, burned into their palms from the Key itself, and when they are branded, they see - and feel - the past lives of all the Knights who came before them. Because, you see, you can’t become a Demon Knight until the previous one dies. The last thing a Knight does is to pass on the Key and the duty to protect it from the demons, and then they die. 

They can be killed, but they are otherwise essentially immortal right up to that moment (as shown by Brayker, who was a soldier in WWI and is still alive, definitely not looking his age). The circumstances under which a Demon Knight can pass on the Key and their duty are very specific, and they’ll know their time has come when the stars on their palm - which are normally grouped together - form into a circle. They’ll wind up under siege some place with seven people... and one of those will be the new chosen one, the new Knight.

Basically, for what should have been schlocky, gory fun, this movie had this incredibly kickass setup and it makes me twitch to do SOMETHING with it. Make a new Knight, still reeling from what they’ve lived through to get here on top of the solemn duty that is now theirs. I hadn’t thought of combining it with something else until Voltron entered the picture.

We really haven’t seen the Galra destroy a planet utterly since Altea (unless you count that planet that’s sucked dry by the komar). So my brain was like, “Altea had one of the Keys and Zarkon made a deal with the demons to destroy Altea if he procured the Key for them...” 

If I let myself, I could almost certainly do a lot with this setup - that what many people on Earth think of as God the Father is what the Alteans thought of as the Goddess of the Universe; that Voltron was made, in part, to protect the Keys but that, having been sealed away for 10,000 years, it has been unable to do so; that now the mission is not only to free planets from Galra rule but to wrest the Keys back from the demons and to protect Earth not ONLY as the home of the Paladins but as the home of the last Key - but, as you said, V:LotD really needs to be my priority.
