Heyyyy, are your ocs in like stories or do you have them floating in space like I do lol what are those stories about, if you have em?
Amara is in all my stories. Shes my easter egg in all my series, and I look forward to people finding her more subtle appearances.
Most of the others have books! A few are just rp characters but most are in their own series.
Personal Demons is about a demon trapped inside a human and her brother trying to keep them both alive while his life’s purpose slowly creeps up on him after millennia. Eventually it becomes a chance to question black and white thinking, propaganda, and internal biases. Also its about the gay agenda.
Dragonmarked is about grief and revenge consuming one persons life, and the lives of all she touches. Its also about breaking cycles of abuse and finding yourself buried under years of fawn responses. It’s about the weight of the world on your shoulders and responsibilities you cant shrug off. It’s about learning how to be a better person and its about grief all over again.
The lev n fax saga is finished, and technically part of PD. Its about love and fear and finding something worth being brave for. Its also about the different kind of bravery and how it doesn’t always look how you’d expect.
Ichor is about abandonment issues and corrupt power systems. It’s about love being toxic and love being something that can create something more powerful than whatever already exists.
The warped wip is just an attempt to mix urban fantasy (fluffy version) with horror written by someone who doesn’t consume horror but wants to sink their teeth in some fun descriptions.
Hell To Pay is also completed, though @fragmentedink and I are working on spinoffs. Its about trauma and the ugly side of healing. It’s about how different traumas can lend to connections while at the same time lend itself to hurting others without ever meaning to. It’s about learning to stand on your own feet and be your truest self.
And give me ur eyes, the newest book, is about questioning everything. Its about looking at the people and gods you put on pedestals and wondering what will happen if someone bumps said pedestal. Its about betrayal and becoming and unbecoming and anger and villain eras.
I will tag all of these projects so u can go tag diving if you wish for more details.

INTERVIEW WITH A WRITEBLR — @lux-scriptum
Who You Are:
Luc/Lux || He/him
I mostly write fantasy, from urban to high, and everything in between, though I do lean more urban. World building and franken-genres are my favorite things to work with, outside of a heavy focus on characters and character relationships of all flavors.
What You Write:
What genres do you write in? What age ranges do you write for?
Fantasy, horror, and paranormal. New adult and adult.
What genre would you write in for the rest of your life, if you could? What about that genre appeals to you?
Fantasy. I need magic in my words to draw me out of this one for a little while.
What genre/s will you not write unless you HAVE to? What about that genre turns you off?
Scifi or realism. I don't know why scifi is just not my thing, but realism is just too close to, well, reality.
Who is your target audience? Do you think anyone outside of that would get anything out of your works?
My target audience is me, first and foremost, but I know that other people have said that a lot of what I write is relatable, especially on the processing trauma front.
What kind of themes do you tend to focus on? What kinds of tropes? What about them appeals to you?
I focus a lot on trauma, as stated above. In the way it changes someone, and the uglier side of repeated traumas. I also tend to rehash the theme of "where did this bias come from? whose side have we not heard? and where do we draw the line in giving someone the chance to speak?" But lately a lot of my themes have also leaned closer to "Is this person/god/thing on a pedestal deserving of said pedestal? are we ready to take them down and make the changes needed?"
What themes or tropes can you not stand? What about them turn you off?
"This is the villain because they're mentally ill" is beyond irritating. I also cant stand "and now they have kids" even though I also fall prey to that, a lot, myself.
What are you currently working on? How long have you been working on it?
I've split my time between my projects Personal Demons (7 years), Dragonmarked (5-6 years?) and Give Me Ur Eyes (temp title, 1 year)
Why do you write? What keeps you writing?
I write to process things I'm not ready to process face to face. I honestly have been struggling to write as my mental health has gotten better, but lately I've been writing for the joy of creation.
How long have you been writing? What do you think first drew you to it?
I've been writing for over a decade, and I started writing because I wanted to play in another authors sandbox. I liked the story, but I wanted my own stories.
Where do you get your inspiration from? Is that how you got your inspiration for your current project? If not, where did the inspiration come from?
My inspiration comes from music a little, but what fuels it is mostly processing things. The ideas start from music, like the spark, but the rest of it is just fun what if games. Growing and pruning of whatever feels most in character. That is how Give Me Ur Eyes started, but Personal Demons was a what if game of wanting better angel/demon books, and Dragonmarked was me enjoying a YA fantasy novel but going "I could do it a little better if I did something like this" and then letting it spiral (out of control tbh)
What work of yours are you most proud of? Why?
Finished work? Lev n Fax Saga. Because I got it done in less than a year, and it was compelling enough I got a lot of interaction, and yet even years later it holds up to my standards for the most part. Unfinished? Dragonmarked. It's an ambitious project, with an incredibly detailed world ready for me to go when I finally work up the courage to finish it.
Have you published anything? Do you want to?
I have! I do regret it though. It was my first NaNo project, in high school. I don't know how to take it off amazon, and honestly I don't know that I would. It's something high school me achieved and that's no small feat.
What part of the publishing process most appeals to you? What part least appeals to you?
Getting my books out to people that would want to read it, to hold it, to binge it, is what appeals the most. I don't like the pressure of traditional publishing, and the idea of rejection has left me a little stressed, so I'm still debating the pros and cons of both ways to publish.
What part of the writing process most appeals to you? What part is least appealing?
The first draft is my favorite! Controversial, I've been told, but I adore picking up the thread of a story and following it to it's conclusion. I learn about the characters as I go, and I get to know them better that way. I hate the editing process. It's slower, it makes me feel a little dumb for mistakes I didn't notice, clunky dialogue I missed, and it takes more focus.
Do you have a writing process? Do you have an ideal setup? Do you write in pure chaos? Talk about your process a bit.
Admittedly, my process is influenced heavily by my ADHD. My process usually requires music in earbuds or headphones to drown out distractions, and I write better at a desk or a table. In college I actually got a lot done in lectures, because it helped me focus to be around other people, and giving my hands and extra thoughts something to do helped me pay attention in class too. Now that I'm not in college, I actually write pretty well in cafe's. Having something to snack on and drink also help me stay focused, usually something that's a finger food so I don;t have to stop my flow too much to keep munching.
Your Thoughts on Writeblr:
How long have you been a writeblr? What inspired you to join the community?
I've been on writeblr for 8 years, and I honestly cant remember why I joined. Probably looking for advice and community, cus I was in high school at the time.
Shout out some of your favorite writeblrs. How did you find them and what made you want to follow them?
@incandescent-creativity is one of my closer friends, and I cant remember how I found their blog, but I still follow them because of their constant kindness and enthusiasm. @gingerly-writing is someone I dont talk to as much anymore but always good prompts and inspo on her blog!
What is your favorite part about writeblr?
When we rally around supporting each other we RALLY
What do you think writeblr could improve on? How do you think we can go about doing so?
We do have a bad habit of growing distant, but I think that's just the nature of growing up and having lives off the internet. There's going to be an ebb and a flow, and as long as we have people willing to be like "oh hey, we've gotten kind of quiet" to stir us up again, we'll be peachy.
How do you contribute to the writeblr community? Do you think you could be doing more?
Right now, not a lot. I could be doing more, but unfortunately, I am someone who is disabled, working as close to full time as I can, and barely squeaking by, so I don't really hold it against myself (or anyone else in similar situations) for less engagement.
What kinds of posts do you most like to interact with?
Random lore drops, memes, and edits. I reblog advice but rarely add on.
What kind of posts do you most like to make?
Random shitposts and rambles about projects. I'd answer writing advice asks, but I dont have many and I dont have direction enough to make posts about it.
Finally, anywhere else online we may be able to find you?
tik tok (luxdeo), twitter (LuxDeorum), insta (luxscriptum), and discord (??)

Do you ever just read something so good that it just fills you up with appreciation for the craft?
And it almost serves as a reminder as to why you started writing in the first place?
And you’re just overcome with... like a soft and gentle glow, with a streak of determination in there, because this story has reached through the screen, cupped your face, and reminded you that Yes, you too have stories inside you that will inspire others. Go. Write them.
Because I do.

Hi parchment
For storyday, tell me about the most normal story you've ever written and the most outlandish. According to you, I mean.
Once I wrote a story about two men in love living in their little house with their many cats and one of them bakes and the other quit smoking because he didn't need it anymore when he wasn't alone.
I also wrote a story once about an angel and a demon, about a coward and a dreamer, and how despite the fact that they were two people on the opposite side of a war, accidental betrayal, managed to go through trauma tenfold and come out the other side with the biggest interpersonal drama being an accidental faked death and the revelation that one of them hates banana bread.

Sometimes I discover a bit of writing that’s so achingly beautiful that I want to wrap the words around me like a cloak

Thinking about Alice and Lev meeting now. I think it depends on the company if he’s comfortable and welcoming and super sweet, or if he’s so skittish he can barely make eye contact. Solution? Kick Barry outside.
#by the time they meet the lev n fax saga is over#so he’s had growth#but hes also more comfortable with demons over angels by that point#cant imagine why 🙄

172, 49, 22 of that long list of character asks?
172: Do any of your characters hold a grudge against someone?
Cin famously holds a grudge against almost all angels. Om Nom. Tu more privately holds a gudge against demons but he keeps it to himself. Sorin held a grudge against his cousin Fax for decades! It's the plot of the second half of the Lev n Fax Saga.
49. Are any of your characters certified Bird Nerds ™?
I do not :O I'm quite surprised.
22. Do any of your characters have someone named after them? Or are they named after someone else?
Selene 2.0 was named after Tu's dead partner, Selene. In a 180, I personally might end up taking Elliot's name as my first name (I do still plan to go by Lucas, it's just my middle name!)(also, not named after this character but I do have a Luke that I never use.)(also, Renee was named after me. As was my character Liz.)(those are older characters tho)

Oh. This setup is just lev n fax but to the left and with less cowardice. This is how Lev n Fax would have gone if Lev had been less scared and more like a devoted angel. Oh my god.

Also screaming!
THE LEV AND FAX SAGA [read here] belongs to E. Rimes @lux-scriptum
Lev’s mouth trembled, but he didn’t cry. “I don’t deserve you,” he said.
“You deserve better than this.”

Story Aesthetics: The Lev n Fax Saga
“It was a pleasure meeting you…” [Fax] trailed off.
“Levant. Lev,” the angel supplied, looking a little lost. Fax smiled, surprised it came so easily, and backed up a step.
“Good day, Lev.”

So as a Christmas gift to myself, I commissioned @silverhawk for some art again, and it turned out just as lovely as last time. I know I talked about my characters reimagined as cats for a while there, and decided to get Lev n Fax drawn as cats (something I know Fax would ADORE)
