Roses Without Thorns Wings Without Horns Skin Stained In Color Still, I Grow Duller

Roses without thorns Wings without horns Skin stained in color Still, I grow duller

I've painted a lot of glass wings, and now I want to explore all the possibilities with stained glass wings. What's your favorite type of stained glass? I love nature so anything botanical or starry would be my fav.

The 3 hours long process videos will be DMed on my Patreon on August 5th

I am mourning

I am mourning for the person I was once

I am mourning the person I could've been

I am mourning my innocence

I am mourning for the young love I never got to experience

I am mourning the girl who couldn't defend herself

I am mourning the little girl who wanted nothing but togetherness

I am mourning the little girl who dreamt of a prince who'd one day sweep her off her feet

I am mourning the woman they would've been proud of

I am mourning the woman I should be

I am mourning

I will never stop because there is still so much I have buried

The Greek Mythos Project: The Submission Process

Hello everyone, Camila here! Finally have the time to actually flesh out the details of this project so here we are, with the Official Submission Process Post :). Dw, it's absolutely not as formal as the name suggests. This is mostly just a heads up on what will happen once you reach out with your submission (also... art is totally included btw. I need to put this in an official post but now that I've learned how to post art on AO3? Yeah, we're doing this 😂😂).

The Very First Step: How Do You Submit. Submission somewhat varies between whether or not you have an official account on Tumblr/want to stay completely anonymous or if you have a tumblr account you can submit to us through (although you can totally ask to stay anonymous to the general public or even just beyond me, Camila, who is currently and at this point going forward, the only one who maintains this account and therefore will see everything). Here are the two pathways to go through, separated for everyone's convenience :).

If You Don't Have Anything For Us To Communicate Back To Us Through, such as wanting to stay completely anonymous or just not having a Tumblr account, then you can just send us an anonymous ask! Of course, though, when you do this, we would like for you to acknowledge the fact that we will have no further communication with you other than public posts, and so basically when you submit your work, it's a "one and done." Yes, you can absolutely sign off a pseudo-name in your ask as something to keep track of you by and I'll explain that further later in this post, but just acknowledge and know that you're basically "dropping it off" into our hands from then on and we won't be able to offer further resources such as editing, "beta-ing", or even just asking for further clarifications of stuff :(. But! I promise to you that it's not that intimidating. Submitting things anonymously into this project will allow you to test the waters of your particular fixation and build confidence without having any strings attached and, honestly, we'll take good care of your works :). I personally am a writer of over 7 years, have been hyperfixated in Greek Mythology, and I've edited and worked with hundreds of writers over the years, scholarly or at the basic world-building levels. This is a project aimed to bring together a wide audience and just bring content to those niche writers/concepts and so, what's the big deal? We've got you <3.

If You Do Have A Tumblr Blog/Way To Communicate Back With Us, it's the exact same submission process as those without a blog. Just open up the ask box, copy and paste your submission along with any additional information you'd love to give, and send it our way :). You can tell us if you absolutely do not want to hear anything back from us or even have your name attached, or if you'd like to be connected with those similar to your interests :). Either way, the submissions are the same--via the Ask Box--but this just allows for better communication between us and you. There are two aspects of this project: getting people's work out there and building a community, and both ways of reaching out to us accomplish at least *one* goal of the two, if not both :).

The Second Step: What Happens After You Submit Your Work To Us. Well, we review it. Depending on what's going on, I and/or one of my lovely teammates will go through your work to do some basic editing and formatting work to make sure it fits Wattpad/AO3's structure along with making sure that all the triggers are correctly tagged. This is a requirement in your submission process, especially the trigger warning tagging process. As much as this is based on original writing styles, I do want to make sure we maintain a baseline level of conformity between the works as much as possible. Small things such as the space between paragraphs along with how the breaks in scenes are presented are mostly the things we'll be looking at but it'll really depend on the actual fic and it absolutely will not be on you as the writer to do this. Write it how you want to write it and we'll find a way to meet you in the closer-to-you middle :).

[Coming Soon] Here Is What We Ask For In Your Original Submission.

Optional Steps Within This In-Between Process. We provide in-depth editing, worldbuilding, and beta-ing help! Currently, as I am writing this, there are only two of us on the team--me, Camila/ @sleepdeprivationbutitsvaruna along with Leo, He/Him, @pluckedchicken --but I hope to either expand as this project develops further or we just grow comfortable in our roles. I personally specialize in developing worlds/AUs/worldbuiling while Leo has reached out to help with general editing and working with those darker AUs that I'd personally rather not touch. You can even reach out to us before you start your work! I know quite a lot of people with a diverse understanding of the myths that I can either point you to for help or I can even just do my own deep-dive search and help you out directly! This can be done based on request in the original ask submission--for those wanting to stay anonymous--or over DMing with me, my own blog, or Leo's blog. Just feel free to reach out and we'll try to help you out with anything!

The Third Step: What Happens When This Is All Published. Currently... absolutely no clue. It's only like a Month into this thing and I haven't even written the first sentence of my own submission, so this answer is really only going to come with time. Half of this post in general contains stuff that I came up with on the spot, and don't think that we (or at least I) have all the answers over here just because we have a fancy and cool blog. It's 2300 rn and I've literally written over a thousand words in one sitting while having spent the entire day luring out my motivation kitten and only managing to get it an inch closer and nowhere near out from under the bed, so. Yeah. We're figuring it out over here too.

As for a literal answer to this very real question: my current thoughts is that, at some point in the sooner or later stages (probably when I get the "What We Ask For In Your Original Submission" post posted), we'll come up with a general template to go off of, showing the submitter's name, socials, where to find them, additional information they want to give, author's notes, TWs, etc. in an easy-to-navigate way for both us and the reader.

"if we hug a little tighter, / our hears will be a little closer"
Ivan (left) and Till (right) stand in pouring rain. Ivan holds the back of Till's head as he kisses him. Ivan's eyes are closed while Till stares at him.
"saying something dangerous, / like I love you,"
"I love you in the same way, there's a chapel in a hospital / One foot in your bedroom and one foot out the door"
Ivan (right) kneels down beside Till (left). Ivan rests his right hand against the wall. He has a somber expression. Till leans against the arm of a purple couch.
"I love you and I always will and I am sorry. What a useless word."
"And you, you were the one I treated the worst / Only because you loved me the most / We haven't spoken in a long time / I think about it sometimes / I don't know who I was back then"
"We love with claws and teeth and the blood is just proof of how much. It's feral."
"Break my arms around the one I love / And be forgiven by the time my lover comes / Break my arms around my love"
Ivan (left) wraps both of his hands around Till's (right) throat. Till tilts his head upwards. His eyes are closed.
"I'll have to learn to be somebody else / It's been you and me since before I was me / Without you, I don't yet know quite how to live"
"I would've loved you if we had more time."
"I am my mother's child, I'll love you till my breathing stops / I'll love you till you call the cops on me"
Young Ivan (left) and young Till (right) sit side by side. Ivan looks towards the right, staring at Till while Till looks downwards.
"I knew what love was supposed to be: obsession with undertones of nausea."
"love is a cannibalistic feast. // But the rest is death, and death alone."
Till stares straight ahead (at Ivan) with wide eyes and one hand wrapped around his throat. It's raining around him.
"You haven't kissed anyone for a while now. / To you, everything tastes like blood."
Ivan stares straight ahead (at Till). Blood drips down his chin from his mouth. He smiles softly. It's raining around him.
"I think here is where I will leave you. It has come to seem there is no perfect ending. / Indeed, there are infinite endings. / Or perhaps, once one begins, / there are only endings."

BUT WHO COULD LOVE ME? I AM OUT OF MY MIND // IVAN & TILL
