I haven’t written in months. Mental health combined with a lost story ruined my joy in it. But today I’ve been writing again, and I can’t say how great it is to dive back into a story.  I really wanna vent about this new gang of desperate, lovable human beings. 

If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications ✔ anonymously or not :) let's get to know the person behind the blog ❤️

Aw, thanks for the ask!! Three random facts: - I love exploring new media! I have periods where I get really into theatre or concept albums or whatever and try to discover exactly how they work, how they are made, what their tricks are. - I’m an animal person. With fur or without, if it is willing to be held, I am holding it. - I’m playing around with gender in my appearance more and more and I’m loving it!

a tip for writing female characters: don’t be afraid to make her feral. just absolutely batshit. her actual intelligence? that can vary. but bring out the chaotic stupid tendencies. embrace her as a one brain cell enemy of the state

My whole WIP is about this! Set during the idustrial revolution, magic has become a tool, something to be used or maybe even ignored, forgotten and discarded. But then the Romantics rise and magic gets an impulse. It is intertwined with art: art as a spiritual power, something connected to feeling and expression and just a little out of reach, always at the edge of incomprehensible. My OC thinks about it like this: ‘Once, when religion had still been tangible and water could change in wine in front of your eyes, magic had been spiritual, an amazing, supernatural power. Later, miracles became stories. Churches rose, priests preached their psalms and every spire pulled mankind further from her faith. Magic was sacrilege, then utensil. Now philosophers and scientists held truth in their fingers, and magic, God and the occult should all be sweeped into a dark corner. Tungsten did not believe in God – at least, he didn't think he did. But magic was different. It was human and more than human, like love, or art‘.

I have always felt art is the closest we can get to magic!

I have a lot of feelings about how witchcraft and art are similar and intertwined, but I can’t exactly articulate them

send me an ask directed at one of my ocs and i’ll answer it in-character

can we send OC requests to you now? you seem back in groove. :)

I am! Life is pretty hectic at the moment (it always is), but since making aesthetics relaxes me, I am trying to do it as much as I can. There’s still quite a line, but send me all your requests and I promise they will get done!
