Synopsis below the cut ✂️

Synopsis:

ERIS MATTHEWS thought nothing when her parents and brother wound up sick after their beach trip, until they woke with red-rimmed eyes and a thirst for blood. Her blood. RHYS GREY and their friend, CASHMERE MONI, had almost been too late to save her, although they came with a warning. The Exodus is leaving now, and if she Eris wanted to leave, she needed to leave with them.

So, they fled, into the stars to a supposed safe haven. Instead of the salvation they hoped to find, the planet is riddled with demons and unanswered questions.

An unimaginable landscape meets games of secrets, betrayal, a past they cannot escape, but most importantly; survival.

Thank you so much for the tag @blind-the-winds for the tag!!

Last song listened to: Theorists by Ludwig Goransson

Favorite color: Red!! Beloved red

Currently watching: Currently on the last season of Young Justice because I finally got hit with a superhero fixation (specifically DC) and I think it's sticking this time around.

Last movie: Rome Open City directed by Roberto Rossellini for a class. It's definitely a heavier watch but it also shows the style of Neorealism as it was one of the more influential films to do so. Also Very not like the typical Hollywood formula at all. There are no three acts but the subtext and the main text of the movie speaks volumes.

Currently reading: Still House of Leaves, but I've also picked up The First Bad Man by Miranda July as well. It's a terrible book that I would not recommend unless you want to read 200 pages of middle-aged women going a little too into detail about pubic hair and bodily functions, but it's a change of pace. But for a change of pace to this, I'm also reading @magical-mistakes-vm by the delightful @cljordan-imperium, which is infinitely cuter and far, far less cynical. :') (I mean. I could just not read The First Bad Man, but I rarely abandon books.)

sweet/spicy/savory: Spicy!!

relationship status: Single, I'm admittedly not the best at interacting with people and my inability to read some social cues means that I will miss so many things.

current obsessions: Batman... specifically Nightwing finally got me so I've been reading fics nonstop.

last thing i googled: ao3, I am admittedly still on my kick for more batman fics. Also Yuletide sign ups have started and this is my first year participating, it's gonna be so much fun.

currently working on: Sociology assignment. Easy to write, pain the ass to want to work on, which is why I'm starting early.

Oh this is fun question to answer. Let me break it out actually cuz two OCs do fit this perfectly. They end up on the opposing scale morally which is Funny:

Most Fun to Write: 3375 is everything that's fun about writing since it's all about keeping their dialogue unsettling but also like something a normal person would say. Love writing them and it's always a joy to have them in a scene even as they toss morals out the window.

Easiest to Write: It's Viktor Shui, it's always been him. I've had him for the longest and he's also been the one that I consistently revisit. He's the easiest to write and the easiest to get into the mindset of which I do appreciate but it also means he hogs too many OC interactions.

Tagging @cheshirewrites @bluejay-in-write @jessicagailwrites and @vicwrites-and-acts and anyone else who wants to do this!!

Next Question: What type of music is your OC(s) most likely to listen to?

OKAY!

WRITEBLRS if you're seeing this, you're legally obligated to reblog with an answer, and then a new question for the next person!

Here's the start:

Which of your OCs is most likely to punch somebody in the face?

[vicwrites-and-acts]

*offers you a penny* a penny for more thoughts on Eris please

*takes the penny and bows most humbly* of course!

Eris is very into psychology; well, before her world fell apart that is. People, places, things have always fascinated her in a way that being isolated doesn't. Social, even if she doesn't want to admit it half the time. She'd much rather appear unapproachable.

Rhys has been her best friend since grade school, who she's always kinda sorta had a thing for, but that's something she won't even admit to herself. All Rhys has to do is give her a puppy dog look and she's ready to do whatever he wants. No questions asked.

She's very soft yet hard at the edges; especially after what she'd witnessed before the arrival of their new planet.

Im really excited to flesh her out more, and put her through the ringer in what I hope to actually be a series and not just a standalone.

Also vampires, have I mentioned vampires?

I'm currently working on an official WIP introduction, and I'm debating posting the first chapter, simply to see what people think/get feedback, etc.

Eternal Purgatory; Poem by Vicwrites

Eternal Purgatory claws away at me with fiery breath, dragging me further under the lake of fire; A way out I've desperately sought to no avail.

A cacophony of sounds crush me with the weight of meaningless questions of my survival and what has led me here.

My heart is a lockless box. It's been said that I am a fool for love. You will be burned. I feel sorry for them. They will never understand what it's like to feel a passion so daunting, so revolutionary you can feel it in your bones.

Thanks for the tag!

A beat echoes between them, silence until Leo speaks with every syllable seeming to shake 3375 to the core.

Tagging: @cheshirewrites @vicwrites-and-acts and @the-purpose-of-a-hunting-dog and anyone else who wants to do it!!

New writing game because I’m so tired and I’ve been sad that I haven’t been up for as much writeblr lately.

So

Reblog this with one line, devoid of context, that you wrote today (or the last time you wrote).

I’ll start:

It wasn’t, really. Not nearly as sharp as chocolate.

I’ll gently tag @writernopal @moonluringfrost @abalonetea @author-a-holmes@ albatris @sithbelle @moonshinemagpie @keysandopenmind @mister-writes @gummybugg @sam-glade @stesierra @akiwitch and @k-v-briarwood because that was who I could come up with off the top of my head but if you see this consider yourself tagged!
