GLORY BURNING: an interactive multimedia mystery

A tragedy, a sensation, and a murderer on the loose. Read through the scripts of a true crime podcast and scour through evidence in search of the truth behind a terrible murder, and decide for yourself whose side of the story you want to believe.

Glory Burning is an interactive multimedia project following the fates of Glory Arbora and Faith Didaea, two college students who were kidnapped and involved in a subsequent tragedy that has left Glory dead and Faith grieving. In the aftermath, their story was sensationalized by news broadcasts, a documentary, and a popular true-crime podcast called “Moth Murders.” Now, Glory’s murderer still runs free, and Faith can’t escape the scrutiny of the public eye.

With each update, you will read through scripts from “Moth Murders,” and you will be presented with evidence that may bring you closer or farther from the truth. It’s up to you who to believe: “Moth Murders,” Faith, or Glory herself as she haunts her own narrative, speaking into microphones and damaging evidence.

General content warnings for Glory Burning include: Discussion and sensationalization of murder, discussion of missing persons cases, gun violence, knife violence, and cult violence.

She's wearing a leather bolero jacket, red velvet vest and slim-fit pants with a leather belt. He is standing and using two canon-adherent armpit crutches. The drawing is kept in off-pink, purple and blue hues. End ID.]

my friend shared a "draw your OCs in this outfit" challenge sometime ago, and since drawing humans somehow hadn't worked out for me that day, i drew my OC as a furry. you're welcome

REVOLUTION, RETRIBUTION — locations. 

[Image IDs: The first image is of a brown-hued, rickety-looking overhang to a building. In the background sits a taller, similarly rickety-looking building. Text on top reads, “The Wastes” in all-caps. The second image is a hallway of a facilty of some sort, colored in soft red hues. Text on top reads, “The Glass Steps” in all-caps. The third image is of the bottom of a glass dome, an intricate glass hallway protruding beyond it. Text on top reads, “The Merchant’s Hand” in all-caps. End ID.]

THE WASTES: the outermost rung of Nav, filled with those unable to afford a life in the Steps. Constantly being pushed out towards the radioactive deadlands near Nav’s borders. The people here whisper of revolution.

THE GLASS STEPS: Nav’s inner rungs excluding the center, a vast, glittering set of cities ruled by corporations. Populated by the well-to-do, who seek entertainment in all aspects of life.

THE MERCHANT’S HAND: Nav’s capital, occupied by the capitol dome with towers named for each of Nav’s ruling dynasties surrounding it. The supposed united heart of the country, though each dynasty is determined to undermine the others in any way possible.

tagged by @macywrites !! (ily) share one snippet of lines you're proud of and one snippet that's ridiculous out of context.

line(s) I'm proud of

IRONBLOODS

Shiban shifts and carefully does not look at her. "Some," he begins, "would say a sibling is that of a lifeline."

She doesn't miss his meaning — clever girl. But instead of the heartbreak he'd expected, Anjali's lips twist in a sneer, and her eyes never leave the spot where her brother dances. "I was never enough to be his lifeline," she says coldly. "Just like you weren't enough to be your sister's."

line(s) that are ridiculous

FIREFLY (they're bonding!)

I do not appreciate his imitation of my London accent, and so I tell him as much. "And Alexios?" I add, since it seems convenient, and because the man's name seems to weigh heavy in the air. Binyamin prickles as predicted—a personalized cactus, all for my unenjoyment.

"Maybe," is all he says. "He's kind of, you know, unconscious right now, so we haven't exactly had the chance to discuss it." He gives me a withering look. I briefly fantasize about hitting him with a pebble.

tagging anyone!! if you want to, hit it:) I'd love to see your writing!!

good lines tag.

tagged by @encrucijada thank you!!! share one snippet of lines you're proud of and one snippet that's ridiculous out of context. (these are from next day after dawn)

lines i'm proud of (fucked up chosen ones. prince cyrus has every problem in the universe):

The Church said when the cosmos was born it was smaller than he was, worlds upon worlds of sacred stardust crushed into a space too tight to hold it all in without coming apart. So it did come apart, worlds upon worlds pulled by gravity to their preordained places, no trace upon them of the shape they used to be. And maybe that was how it was supposed to feel. Maybe if he just let the pressure in his chest build up enough, it would happen. He would break into something beautiful and bright. And the gravity of every star in the sky would pick up the pieces, stretch them into the shape of the next King Cyrus, pulled apart and apart and apart into something nothing like he had been, something holy and grand and empty. 

out of context (helios and selene are...bonding?):

“Well, I don’t know, you hear rumours,” Selene said lightly. “I never said they were true.” She wasn’t wrong, exactly; you did hear rumours. Helios could’ve ranked the ones about him in accordance with the juiciness level of every fruit on the face of the planet and still had a few to spare. But that one was new, so it was probably confined to some smaller circle, so— “Your mother thinks that.” “Well, I don’t think she’s convinced.” Helios cackled even louder this time. “She’s just…floated the possibility.” “Stars a-fucking-bove. Why?”

This story starts with love, and—like all stories do—ends with loss.

Keyless Hearts

The last time Oraen's streets bathed in blood, it had been Varian's.

When I wake, I find myself weakly buried—eyes blinking through softened dirt rather than the wood of a coffin, body twisted instead of neatly folded, and, of course, the mangled remnants of a bullet spilling from my forehead.

Kiraan frowns, picking at the skin around his fingernails: a bad habit he'd procured from when his mother disappeared, and one he can't find in himself to get rid of.

Keyless Hearts

"When are you going to start letting me into that brain of yours," Val jokes.

Never, he thinks vehemently, the word bubbling up through his esophagus and almost past his pharynx, before changing to a sweet, shy: "I'm not that interesting. Promise."

Firefly

Binyamin looks as if he'd rather tear me to pieces than escort me around their little makeshift town. Smart, however impractical the idea may be.

[ID: a blurred photograph of a black cat with white mittens and throad running on grass, which is illuminated by setting sun. behind it is a text written in an old-school white serif font that reads: writeblr (re)introduction. /end ID]

𓇢 WHO

haiii. i'm Quail. or Hearth. or Meloe. any pronouns / 19 / spirit with a fox clay head / impact crater in the shape of a zoomorph / huh whuh

this is a reintroduction only in technicalities, because even though i made an intro for writeblr, i did absolutely nothing. fortunately i've since graduated hs, so now i can actually do stuff 👍🏽 yay!

𓇢 WHAT

i've been drawing and painting for longer than i've been writing, so this blog is a general basket of all things i create. my bigger writing projects are mostly worldbuilding-heavy fantasy, and these motherfuckes do take their time to develop. i also dabble in poetry-writing and short stories, which i do post here. usually. sometimes .

my recurring themes are an insight in culture, its artefacts and cultural dynamics, the human condition and how to navigate it, grief and love (intristically tied), the little rituals of everyday life that keep us together, gender, and post-colonialism.

𓇢 WHICH

i currently have two that are not on the backburner! if you're interested in others, i am inviting you to look at my desktop WIP page ^__^

CHAOS THEORY 🏗 ⚖ is a webcomic in works with a few novella / short story off-shoots. 𓇢 on a continent wherein the human has married the machine not so soon after she began her discovery of the surrounding world now grows a tumor of a nautical empire, slowly digesting the land alive with its dreams of Carbon and asciension to the higher self. a group of workers inside the so-called Furnaces decide to up the stakes, causing a strike aiming at the root, which might either swallow them whole... or who knows. ━━━━━━━

TEGUMENT 🧿🐟 is... it's own thing. a narrative with drawings and stories written in-between. set in a cassette-futuristic world and centers on insanily codependent lesbians who want to reach godhood as one, while also dealing with a growth spurt of fake idols and a growing gap between their identities.

𓇢 WHERE — miscellany

this is a sideblog: i interact from @burialcloth! i also have a substack where i will either crosspost things i post here, or my essays. we'll see: in all honesty, i should just polish (taki żarcik) my CSS + HTML skills and finally code that fucking neocities site i have. i love being tagged in things, dmed / sent asks :-) and if you'd perhaps like to be on a taglist for any of my projects just hit me up 'n i'll see you around u__o
