The Veils
Tumblr media
I want to give a little overview of the world all my WIPS take place.
A place where monsters walk among men, where magic meets the mundane, and mystery shrouds everything in the veils of night.
“The Veil keeps your eyes closed to the truth. But be careful for once they are open they can never be closed.” - Dreizehn
The Veils
The Veils, also known as “The Abyssal Gates” or “The Shade of the Sleeping” (also sometimes simply known as “The Walls”).
To further explain: you can think of reality as a whole as concentric circles, with veils being the line between the expanding circles.
The Veil is thought to be The Abyss seeping in between the gaps of the worlds, consequently creating other levels and hiding them from the slumbering humans. Those who have opened their eyes to the truth can see past the veil… Or at least the first one. The majority of Fiends also live past the first level of the veil but below the second.
The first veil is the thinnest, it separates the physical from the metaphysical, and it works on the vast majority of humans. It obscures the next level of the world from them, but to an extent, also protects them as it obscures them from the inhabitants of the next level.
The second veil separates the metaphysical from the purely spiritual. As an example, a Metaphysical being like a vampire might not necessarily be able to see purely spiritual beings like ghosts or demons.
Past that lies the third veil, which separates the spiritual world from the abstract world. Most fiends are not even aware of the abstract realms' existence. Deep within the Abstract Realm exist beings and concepts that are incomprehensible, Gods or Eldritch Horrors, call them what you like as there are no words of any language that can truly describe them.
And beyond The Abstract lies The Abyss, which acts as the final and unsurpassable veil.

𝑭𝑶𝑹 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑩𝑰𝑹𝑫𝑺 — an introduction
We do not judge this Birdie because she does not know any better, as we all have experienced.  We do not judge this Birdie because she is remembering.  We do not judge this Birdie because the world is ending.  We do not judge this Birdie because she is changing.
GENRE — coming-of-age, campy queer horror and 20th century historical fiction.
THEMES — queer identity, consumption as it pertains to love, late-stage capitalism, and desire, queer longing, and cannibalism as metaphor
WARNINGS — graphic imagery, death, drug use, and depictions of mental illness (including suicidal ideation). This project also heavily deals with homophobia and transphobia and the depictions included may be triggering for some readers.
POV — a shifting perspective ranging from scenes told in the first person to ones with an omniscient third person
INSPIRATIONS — susan sontag's notes on camp, 1980s/90s LGBTQ+ history, punk subbaculture, spike lee's do the right thing, reality bites, car button cloth by the lemonheads, luc guadanino's bones and all.
STATUS — first part has been written, though in need of a rework; focusing on developing the characters and themes.
𝚂 𝚈 𝙽 𝙾 𝙿 𝚂 𝙸 𝚂 —
Birdie Gish-Sato wakes up in 2023 with the fuzzy logic that she ate someone and a bullet in her mouth. In 1993, she runs into trouble with the law on the night of her band Toilet Bowl's third night on tour. Feeling as though the world is ending quietly, 2023 Birdie goes about her day as normal as she pieces together who she ate. An omniscient and mysterious set of voices known as The Birds navigates us between the thirty years that separate these twin tales. They will show us who Birdie ate, why, and ultimately explores what gnaws at everyone's bile and stomach acid and causes them to want to eat.
𝙲 𝙰 𝚂 𝚃 —
BIRDIE GISH-SATO — portrayed by miki berenyi of lush. A fire-engine haired phoenix of the 1990s. A drummer in a shitty band called Toilet Bowl, the best McDonald's Employee of the Month, proud member of the NYC queer scene, and overall asshole.
SANTO GALLITO — portrayed by benicio del toro. Forty-six miles from the last rest stop, SANTO cries in the bathroom. He has a wooden key in hand as he sniffles on the toilet seat. He's left home to be a man, to make something of himself, and to finally find some peace of mind. Set in 1993 or 2023, Santo is a trans Puerto Riccan living in Detroit, working at Kroger in the metro area as a cashier.
RONNIE VOLKOV — portrayed by angelina jolie. A hell-raiser who makes goosebumps as she walks past, VERONIKA VOLKOV has been a prima ballerina, a murderer, an addict, and a (aspiring) rockstar. She chose RONNIE as a name when she turned twenty-one and manifested her destiny much the way her mother did when they first came to America.
JUPITER TUCKIR — portrayed by al pacino. JUPITER TUCKER is a scoundrel garbage man, former muse, former artist, failed gifted child, and failed lawyer. He has just robbed a grocery store, is coming off a manic episode, and drove his mother's truck off the side of a cliff.
JOSIE ABERNATHY — portrayed by drew barrymore. A sweet young thing and shift lead at the McDonald's Birdie works at. In 2023, she's an it-girl influencer who reads fanfiction at the drive-thru window, and in 1993, she's in over her head, a smidge addicted to cocaine, and trying to 'get her shit together.' In either plot line, Birdie loves her.

Faith of the Grim (Formerly; A Grim Awakening)
"Faith of the Grim" has been a stand-alone story idea that's been with me for over ten years, since 2012, but it took some time to take shape and form in my mind.
Krysis is a grim reaper. Her entire existence is spent collecting the souls of the recently departed, and herding them along to whichever afterlife they spent their lives believing in the most strongly.
The downside to meing a reaper is that she never gets to experiance the next life herself. She, and all other reapers, are eternal, and Krysis is bored of eternity.
That is until she goes to collect a soul, and discovers a human on the cusp of becoming a minor deity. A paramedic, his medical efforts combined with his budding powers snatches the soul Krysis is there to collect from her grasp, and brings his patient back from the edge of death.
Suddenly, eternity doesn't look quite as boring anymore.
Barring no unforseen circumstances, I hope to release "Faith of the Grim" around Autumn 2025.

project drakeswood; an intro
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"The beauty of the dragon was something that haunted Colette." introducing pr. drakeswood: what was formerly my childhood escape->nanowrimo project->current wip novel. ya medieval fantasy, draft 1.1, ~80k words. identity, change, growth.
In the thousand years that elves have lived on Pasithee, no human has entered elven cities and managed to tell the tale. André Portalis is determined to be the first.
Kyhrra and Alacor Dire have vastly different reasons to vouch for him, Corydalis Yanu wants him to themself, and Sebastien Prue wants nothing and everything to do with him. André has his own struggles to face, though, including navigating an intricate web of politics and legend. The present is difficult enough, but historians have to look at every angle.
Tumblr media
features:
elves elves elves, magic, dances and festivals, language learning, nerds and himbos, a singular dragon (1), a non-binary deuteragonist, an amputee protagonist, and some horses and birds (for good measure). no primary romantic relationships.
primary cast: these folks narrate, commit most of the atrocities, and are the protagonists.
kyhrra dire - she/her. elf of the arvidor clan. secret softie. "Kyhrra Dire lived as an ultimately selfless woman, with little regard for her own reputation or safety, who through a singular fall and winter learns to break the cycle and let loose."
andré portalis - he/him. human from the distant empire of fraunca. polyglot and history nerd. "André Portalis landed on Pasithee without a place in the world except for a single order, but Arvidor teaches him an entirely different way of life and gives him the space for it."
alacor dire - he/him. elf of the arvidor clan, youngest member of the arvidorian council. wannabe womanizer. "Alacor Dire’s responsibilities built and continually pressured him, but external conflict ultimately pushes him to make changes for the Arvidor Clan—but especially, change for himself."
secondary cast: these folks may narrate in a sequel, and are the deuteragonists.
corydalis yanu - they/them. elf of the arvidor clan. scientist enraptured with humans. "Corydalis Yanu was on the outskirts of social circles in Arvidor, but the arrival of Portalis and the tightening of deadlines allowed them to realize that there may be a bigger life for them than expected."
sebastien prue - he/him. half-human elf of the arvidor clan. quiet outcast type. "Sebastien Prue was comfortable in his own company, but the Arvidor clan changes around him, and he realizes it is a chance to make a change for people like him—now and future—even if it takes some work."
Tumblr media
this project comes out of a lot of things, but mostly out of my love for languages. using this blog to keep all of my rambling in one place!
in-depth character intros -> soon spotify -> soon 1st page -> soon

BRIEF
“The scent of Northshore” project will address one of the client’s leading challenges, which is intervening the Workshop precinct to make the area more attractive and engaging to a broader community (Northshore's client brief, 2023). Therefore, one of the Workshop spaces will be utilised to build a craft workshop that offers activities consisting of making three key products, namely candles, essential oils and soap bars. As a craft making workshop, it will provide visitors with a place and lots of opportunities to freely express their creativeness and artistry. When coming to The scent of Northshore, customers are able to decide which kinds of craft they wish to try, then to customise their arts, specifically in forms of candles, essential oils, and soap bars, with a diverse selection of smell, colours and materials. Moreover, tourists can make friends, as well as heal and wind down after their busy work lives as the ability to create a relaxing and social space is one of the reasons why craft making workshops are always popular. Consequently, this workshop project is expected to not only fulfil the client’s vision of giving tourists a “immerse yourself” experience when visiting Northshore Brisbane, but also meet the requirements including making use of and drawing attention to the unique characteristics of the site, together with encouraging return visitation, which will be explained in the following posts (Northshore's client brief, 2023).

Stolen Stories;
Prequel - The Lost Mosswolf
Book One - Stolen
Book Two - Takeover
Book Three - Origin
Book Four - Loyalty
Book Five - E
Book Six - N
The Stolen Stories are a Romantic Epic Fantasy series. The manuscript for book one, Stolen, is already completed, but I didn't want my first, bumbling, foray into the world of self publishing to be done with this series.
This series, and the characters of Stella and Reilly specifically, are my darlings, and I love them too much to use them as a learning experiance.
A combination of learning, and finances, means that I don't plan to publish Stolen until the first half of 2025. With six books in the series, at two books a year, the Stolen Stories publication should span 2025-2027, with the prequel "The Lost Mosswolf" replacing the Fey Touched Trilogy's free prequel story on my newsletter.
The Lost Mosswolf

Stolen
It had been a long couple of weeks for Stella Korazon.

Finding herself in the City of Antillune she is quickly pulled into the middle of a brewing war between two thieves guilds when she finds herself coerced into stealing from Guild Master Mosswolf.
Surrounded on all side by rogues, liars, spies and betrayal, it's a constant struggle to know who she should trust, but standing in the heart of it all, can she find somewhere, or someone, to call home?

Anthologies
I think Anthology collections can be a great way to display a variety of writing styles, or short pieces that don't always have a complex wide-reaching plot that can span a book series, or even a single novel.
While I only have one Anthology planned right now, I can easily see the potential for additional future projects of this type, so I'll be collecting anything related to Anthologies and Short Stories and Flash Fiction on this side blog, including my occasional 15-minute writing exercises.
Tumblr media
A Little Touch of Magic is planned to be a collection of 15 short stories, each one less that 3,000 words long. Each short story will show a brief moment in the life of the witch Lucille Corrobane as she learns about her magic, studies to control her powers, and discovers the secrets her family have been protecting for generations.

Yan! Prosecutor x GN Reader CW: Reader didn't survive lol :D Featuring: Eldridge (Prosecutor), Stephen (Inspector), Adam (Yulian-Lawyer), Kaspar (Mafia Ringleader)
Yan! Prosecutor who finds your state pitiful. Apparently, you were the scapegoat of some of the higher-ups to cover a grander crime. You were defrauded and thrown into a cage of beasts, ready to be pronounced guilty by the judge.
Yan! Prosecutor who is not as cold and merciless as the rumors stated. In fact, he is a gentle soul, he doesn't corner you nor consider your confession as something delusional, unlike the defendant's lawyer who is just as gentle and polite yet a blade ready to dissect you open should you stumble with your words.
Yan! Prosecutor who is determined to win this case to prove his capability and to save yet another pitiful innocent soul from death tow. It doesn't have anything to do with personal relation and gain yet he can't help but fall for you from your determination.
Yan! Prosecutor who enjoys the time spent with you despite the fact that you two are running out of time. Should you two ignore the fact that the visit is limited and that the trial's date is approaching, it would have been a pleasurable date.
Alas the prosecutor, Eldridge Alscher, lost the trial. His eyes darted around the court, in front of him was the prodigy, Adam deus'Otiosus (AN: Yulian), and right in front of the judge was you, standing with hollow eyes, ears deafened by the crowd and juries' cheers the moment the gavel was knocked.
The lawyer's eyes gazed at you for a moment before they met Eldridge's. What appeared to be a polite, patronizing smile was actually a mockery from the victor.
You still had time before your execution date arrived and Eldridge never missed a beat in visiting you, showing you all sorts of kinds of stuff you adore. The determination in your eyes was gone, and that was supposed to make him fall out of love.
But he didn't. He couldn't.
"I..." His hand was placed on the glass screen that separated you two, "I promise you, I will make them all pay back twice." The bastards of higher-ups, the system of injustice, and the bastard of a lawyer.
"I will drag them all one by one, I will issue a report and make sure that I catch them all one by one." You nodded at him, barely responsive.
"And I swear to God," He gritted his teeth, hard. "that Adam's beloved spouse would suffer the same fate as you did." It was ironic, for someone who despised the injustice served in the court, his heart yearned for something of so terrible to happen to someone else.
--
Years have passed and it had reached a final turning point. Tomorrow, Eldridge would lead the court case of the nation's biggest threat, an infamous mafia that he managed to catch, someone related to the lawyer.
A drug dealer who had defrauded and committed countless grand scale of fraud, Kaspar.
This would set a downfall for Adam's career and life. To be frank, he had once heard that Adam's spouse was once convicted of a case, suspected to be a murder case.
The Inspector who was responsible for the case was shunned shortly after the interrogation, and the case was somehow buried before it could even reach the light.
It was a shame, the two of them had an entirely different motive yet he wished the Inspector could have at least brought it up for trials.
Noticing that it was time for him to finally rest, Eldridge retreated himself into the bedroom.
--
Kaspar elbowed Adam as they waited for the trial to begin, "Where's that petty prosecutor? He sure took his sweet time."
Yulian looked at his watch indifferently, "How convenient that he fails to meet the etiquette of not oversleeping."
Shortly after his comment, a report was made hastily in the waiting room, "Reporting! Mister Alscher was reportedly rushed to be hospitalized just this morning! He had been terribly wounded on his left eye!"
Kaspar snorted at the report before waving the official in duty away, "Anyone who is involved with you always ends up miserably huh? Last time that Inspector's career and reputation completely plummeted and now this petty prosecutor loses his pretty eye, what's next?"
Yulian mumbled something beneath his breath before looking at Kaspar, "But I didn't do anything." "Huh?" "I didn't do anything."
The room fell into silence. Kaspar knew Adam really well that he was not the kind of man to make a convenient lie like that.
"Then... who dunnit?"
__Uphill Daisies. Welcome, to the den of awakening grudges.
