YOU READ THE BLOODY JACK SERIES TOO??????
Absolutely. Who doesn't love a filthy female probably genderfluid probably bisexual protagonist with arrest warrants and a simp boyfriend who is pretty much gay for her?

Looking for New Writeblrs!
With the recent twitter exodus and bot spam flooding my notes, I want to find new people who are actually people. I know y'all are there lurking, so take this as an opportunity to introduce yourself and turn this into a follow train! I'll go first...
You can call me Etta or Etta Grace, and I write fantasy of all kinds. Most of my stories resolve around family dynamics, and I run a website where I post weekly book reviews, writing advice, excerpts, and goals. I've been involved on writeblr since Summer 2019 and so I know a fair number of folks here, but I'm always happy to meet new people and learn about your WIPs! If you're not sure how to get involved in the community, my DMs and asks are always open!
I can recommend checking out these blogs too!

Hey guys
I just wanted this to be my full formal apology. I've been needing to write this for a few months and I think I was blocked from the right words to say, out of anger and my own struggles. Let me explain
I started this blog last year to get away from writeblr drama and like, some people I considered friends who we all turned on each other and now no longer speak to each other.
I admit I have a part to play in the blame, what I said and did was wrong and I pushed some very important people away when I didn't intend to. I'm learning to be a better person and learning from my mistakes because sometimes I don't understand things and they're not really explained well.
I thought what I was doing, was helping people but maybe I wasn't doing enough, or I was doing too much of the wrong thing. All I know is, looking back on it - I was wrong. And I was too hurt to see that.
I only want to make writeblr and my friends and everyone else, happy. I want writeblr to be a nice place for everyone to get along with, to get feedback and support and all that jazz.
That doesn't make things better. I know I can't go back and repair the bridges that have been burnt and I can't repair those relationships. But just know that I am very sorry if I ever came across as rude or weird. It was not my intention.
Looking back, I could have done things a lot better and through learning things about myself, I've learned that I need to do better. I want to understand. I want to help.
Words can't describe how sorry I am and I know that won't bring anything back. But hopefully we can look to the future now. I want this year onwards to be a good year for everyone I'm friends with, with those who want to get to know me. I don't want to fall out.
I've met so many wonderful people and I really owe everything to you guys. Ya'll are amazing.
Thank you
Ash Shepard, formerly Athena Anna Rose

Manuscript Search Game
I was tagged by @akindofmagictoo <3 thank you! The words you gave are ring, rest, rite, and rough.
I'm searching my new WIP, placeholderingly titled 'Dragon Dreamer'.
ring: I’m woken by shouting out in the hall outside my room, and a distant bell ringing loud enough to rouse all the trainees from here to the coast. rest: ‘He will be thrown into training with the rest of them, regardless of his age. Unlike you, he will not have a choice,’ she continues. rite: Someone could just as easily kill me, and there will be no rite of memorial for either of us. rough: The tarnished mirror’s wooden frame is old and roughly carved, with the three peaks of the Istrin western mountains at the top, and falling leaves down the sides.
I tag (with 0 pressure but with a face making the eyeballs emoji 👀) @aritany @violetcancerian @klywrites @writing-with-melon @radley-writes @caffeine-bee @khufiya-khaufnak-antariksh @writernopal @ryns-ramblings @perseverantdt @frankensteinshimbo @coelakanths @pure-solomon ♥
Your words are: iron, ache, ice, and bone.

✨Mythology & Folklore Retelling Writeblrs Masterpost ✨
So remember a couple months ago when I put out a survey to make a list of writeblrs with myth-retelling/myth-inspired WIPs? Well, I finally put all your responses together!
Below you can find blogs with projects or published works weaving in mythology or folklore, whether it's a retelling or inspired by it. Keep in mind, except for some formatting, I copied these entries directly from the survey.
If anyone does still want to add their WIPs, I'll leave the survey up for now:
Mythology and Folklore Writeblrs and Their WIPs:
@flowerprose
WIP(s): Namesake, a Hades and Persephone myth retelling in which Hades is a skeleton, stripped of his godhood and powers, and Persephone is a young flower maiden, in search of her missing mother. WIP intro, Writing tag
Mythology(ies): Greek Mythology
@violetcancerian
WIP(s): The Dragon and the Herald, Tales of Tirinth, A Song of Three Hundred Spears
Mythology(ies): Arthurian, Irish, Norse, old English
@writeblrfantasy
WIP(s): Queen Artura and the Knights of Arrinshire, a series of stories inspired by the King Arthur tales! I don’t post about it that much, though
Mythology(ies): The King Arthur tales
@lockejhaven
WIP(s): Fable: Servant to Dragon and King
Mythology(ies): Arthurian retelling
@ambiguouspuzuma
WIP(s): I did a three part retelling of the Furies and various Ancient Greek heroes here:
Deianira’s Fury
Ariadne’s Fury
Andromeda’s Fury
I also post regular short stories dipping into other mythology and folklore, featuring golems and sirens and others, including this mash-up of various figures from British mythology: Pantheon
Mythology(ies): Various, mostly Greek
@fearofahumanplanet
WIP(s): The Serpents They Stone - In an alternate version of our world where gods lived alongside humankind and brought them to a new level of technological prosperity, the dreaded World Serpent Jörmungandr reveals herself to have survived Ragnarok while rescuing her villainous old flame, the Phantom Queen Badb. Quickly finding herself pursued by the entire world for the prophecy that promises she will end the world, Jörmungandr dedicates herself to saving Badb from the "Black Pharaoh" that enslaves her - even as Badb is forcibly driven to remain sinister and create chaos.
Miasma - Based on the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland & the later Black Death, the island of Ériu is besieged by the foreign Anglii and their High King is killed. His daughter, Hail, dies with him, but she is resurrected by the serpent goddess Corchen with one objective - to kill King Godric across the ocean, no matter the cost. Her mission soon intertwines with that of a mysterious plague doctor's, who seeks to stop an oncoming plague - one that could spell the end of all life.
Mythology(ies): All, but predominantly Norse, Egyptian, Aztec, Celtic (mostly Welsh/Irish), Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Greek, Sumerian, Mayan, Slavic, Hawaiian, Christian, etc.
@nikkywrites
WIP(s): Maidens and Monsters: sapphic retelling of Scylla’s monsterization, in which she is so beautiful, the ocean (and it’s patrons) cannot help but be drawn to her and too much divine attention in one place always leads to ruin.
Light and What Lies Below: In-between of Maidens and Monsters and OH, in which Calypso makes a deal with Hades, creating Davy Jones’ locker before the sailor is even born.
Ocean’s Heart: Dual POV retelling merging Ogygia Calypso with Davy Jones Calypso, in which when he binds her to a mortal body, he binds her to the island as well.
Her Name is Kore: Persephone/Hades retelling in which Kore knows, even as an unannounced goddess, that she is destined to be something more than just Demeter’s daughter.
Mythology(ies): Greek
@abookishdreamer
WIP(s): Kingdom of Ichor (A YA fantasy series) A modern retelling of classic Greek myths with the gods and goddesses being a focal point. Each book in the series will be told in dual POV following a potential couple. I don't know how long I want the series to be, but I do know it's gonna be pretty expansive! The first book is titled Of Flowers and Darkness, which will be a retelling of the myth of Hades & Persephone.
Mythology(ies): Mainly Greek mythology!!!
@galaxialdarktale
WIP(s): A Prophecy Most Divine (only one on my blog atm)
Mythology(ies): It's a made up mythology set, but I've been obsessed with myths since I was like able to read. I have another one that's not yet on my blog that is a retelling of Norse
@wherearetheplants
WIP(s): Fuck Gods (also referred to as WIP MILF). Life has not been kind to those at Nueva Vida Institution, a residential facility for “deeply disturbed” individuals. The institution seems normal from the outside, but a group of friends on the inside think that there’s more to this place than meets the eyes: they think it’s a end-of-life sacrificial home for those the gods have chosen, and that their life-forces are being drained. They’ve decided that before the gods can get to them, they’re going to complete their life-long goals of getting closure. And to do this, they plan to kill some gods.
Mythology(ies): Greek myths are retold through the character arcs and through parallels. Achilles, Sisyphus, Medusa, Icarus, Pandora's Box
@ladywithalamp
WIP(s): (1) A Casting of Lots (2) Where the Blackbirds Roost [both are linked to my pinned post!]
Based on: Greek mythology for ACoL but I've toyed with hints of Slavic mythologies in WtBR though it isn't as fleshed out
@nicola-writes
WIP(s): the other ones, a horror story about a forest that steals your memories and the monsters waiting within.
Mythology(ies): icarus! contains heavy icarus symbolism, and the main character's arc is directly based on that of icarus'.
@stuck-in-this-mortal-form
WIP(s): Children Of The Prophecy aka a story about half demon children, loosely based on various mythologies and urban legends
Mythology(ies): Slavic, bit of Japanese urban legends & other stuff
@maguayans
WIP(s): Elementalia Chronicles: A fantasy series of five books—Maharlika, Charmed, Sunshower, Waves, and Hiwaga—featuring the lore and creatures of Philippine Mythology. Set in the fictitious province called San Andres, following the lives and misadventures of related characters, all while uncovering the secrets of their ancestors and the land. The expanding universe of the series is affectionately named, Elementaliaverse (@elementaliaverse).
Fair Waters: A novella set in Elementalieverse. | The story follows Elias Hernandez, a photojournalist, and aspiring news writer. He finds himself traveling to the northernmost province of the archipelago after discovering the mysterious case of one of its islands. Soon, he realizes the mystery he’s trying to unravel goes as deep as the ocean. And himself, a pawn to more malicious affairs.
Mariang Makiling: A retelling of the legend of Mariang Makiling. | A group hikes across the inland territories of Maquiling to visit its apparent hidden waters. Failing to reach their destination in time, they camp near a burial ground. There, they would discover something ancient and vile.
Mythology(ies): Philippine Mythology
@fanficwriterblockblog
WIP(s): Just Another Fairytale: 12 kingdoms with 12 “princesses”, facing sociopolitical and mythic problems, especially when their pantheon throws them a curveball. A series of 13 novels, each from a different “princess’s” point-of-view, with myth retellings and fairytale retellings
Mythology(ies): Arachne, Odysseus, etc (too tired to think of the others in there, but it’s not just Greek)
@constellationapex
WIP(s): Most Holy
Mythology(ies): As of this moment, I’m mostly tampering with Greek and Roman gods, but I want to expand to Norse folklore soon!
@literallylore
WIP(s): Glass Gods - a thousand years after Ragnarok, Norse deities are reborn on Earth and must fight to protect their world from an army of frost giants set on conquering the planet.
Mythology(ies): Norse
@fruitbatwoman
WIP(s): Tröll, Álfar, Hestar: 3 Magical Short Stories Inspired by Iceland — What if all the myths and legends surrounding Iceland are true? What if there is a troll under every bridge, elves hidden behind the veil, and wicked horses lurking in the water? In this adventurous, romantic, and magical collection of three short stories, fantasy collides with reality, as tourists and travelers experience a modern take on Icelandic folk tales.
Mythology(ies): Icelandic folk tales, Nordic folk tales, Trolls, Huldufólk, Nykur

Find the Word Tag Game
I was tagged by @sleepyowlwrites (thank you!!!)
My words were: allow, betray, annoy, breath, + bonus: yellow, invent.
Let's see what I've got...
For allow (from Locomotive to the Afterfate):
They fucking saved you, but this is far from over, I mouth to him, before allowing my attention to be dragged to the newcomer. He’s tall and slender. Dark messy hair, dark brown eyes that look tired and like he’s seen too much. He looks like he doesn’t get enough sleep.
For betray (from the 2nd Fall of the Sirens novella):
“He has betrayed his people,” he tells them, tone calm though there’s a slight air of disgust in it. “He tried to hurt his own child.” “She was the one that betrayed us!” Someone shouts in argument against him. I hear the pause in his statements as his eyes meet the man’s that spoke up. His lips are tight and pursed together, though he offers no response for a long time.
For annoy (from An Animal's Apocalypse):
“God, would you stop whining already?” An annoyed voice sighed impatiently. I leapt up, not expecting to hear any voices. After I realized I was alone, I figured maybe my anxiety was causing me to hear voices. So I started to walk around again, but that’s when I heard wings flap from behind me.
For breath (from Nyr Death Experiences):
“You don’t remember me coming by?” She repeated. “I don’t,” I confirmed, taking the milk and chugging half of it, then wiping my lips. Some of the food spat at her and she hissed, cursing under her breath, then returning to the conversation at hand.
For yellow (from In the Eyes of Pets):
However… as he carries me away from my home, I start to smell something that shifts my focus completely - it’s that yellow stuff I love so much! It’s the yellow stuff he always gives me when I do things he wants me to do! The tasty, wonderful yellow stuff that has such a nice feel in my mouth.
For invent:
None found.
Tagging: @lordkingsmith @drawnecromancy @pluttskutt @wubsbian @violetcancerian
Whoops forgot to add my own words.
So your words are: mighty, confused, childish, trusting, lucrative, mask, truth and lovely. Good luck! :D

9 Lines, 9 People Tag Game
Thanks to @k-v-briarwood and @the-down-upside-finch for the tags!
Context: Briar and Semira know that Achaemenes is part fey and they're trying to figure out if he's part of the disappearances happening on campus.
Now that Achaemenes knew what was going on exactly, he was a lot more comfortable in this office. “So, where’s the interrogation?” he asked, leaning back in his chair with his hands behind his head. “Who’s the good cop, who’s the bad cop? Unless you just wanna drop that, cuz it won’t take that to get me to talk. I don’t give a shit now.”
“’Now’? What changed?” the dark-skinned woman—Dr. Adams?—asked.
“Oh. I wasn’t sure why I got dog person vibes from them in class,” Achaemenes began, pointing to Briar, “but now I know the vibes weren’t off. You don’t have a dog, you are one. Kinda. Part time.”
“I—wh?! You don’t—know that!” Briar sputtered.
“So,” Achaemenes continued as if he’d never heard Briar’s objection, “she’s not gonna kill me. She’s palling around with a werewolf, and technically, I’m not even fey, so if she won’t kill you, she won’t kill me. Besides, killing me in her office? On campus? That’s probably the actual worst murder plot. I figured you guys were at least going to take me out into the woods.”
“I don’t kill before I know that I’ve gotta. But how do I know you’re not lying about any of this? If you’re not full fey, you can lie more reliably,” Dr. Adams pointed out.
“Give her a gold star or whatever you do for good students,” Achaemenes told Briar, pointing at Dr. Adams. “I can. But I don’t. For one, it makes me feel like shit, lying’s like…whatever you all find stressful. I feel like you looked when I outed you as a wolf,” he said in Briar’s direction. “And, for two, I really don’t care enough to lie to you two. If you decide to try and get me in some sort of trouble for being fey, Briar -- I’m sorry, Professor Rackham-- is my collateral. That wolf pack in the woods has fucked up a lot more shit, at least in the eyes of cops and monster hunters, than fey have.”
“The werewolves aren’t why people are disappearing,” Briar pointed out, tone more hostile and accusing than Dr. Adams’. They seemed uncomfortable at people knowing about their wolfy secret, and that gave Achaemenes confidence.
“People have been disappearing for forever, but now that it’s the college kids everyone’s all up in arms. How do you think that cult commune thing started?” he asked rhetorically. But Dr. Adams and Briar just looked at each other, confused.
Now for the people to tag... let's go with @maddstermind @halleyuhm @n1ghtcrwler @acertainmoshke @lettersandinkstains @abalonetea @qelizhus @theknightswhosay and @violetcancerian - soft tags as always, and I'm so sorry if some of y'all don't know my writeblr! I just love y'all's shit.

Thinking about things lately.
I'm sorry I fuck up sometimes. I'm trying to support you guys with good intentions, I don't want to be an asshole. I want a free Palestine, I want to care so much about real world problems but it's so draining and depressing that I'm genuinely not allowed by my psychiatrists and family to watch the news. I'm so tired of seeing my friends targeted for shit, simply for being queer, jewish, autistic, disabled, and more.
I've said some stupid things in my past but I'm trying to learn from my mistakes. I want my blog to be a positivity zone for writeblr and any arts and crafter. Or anyone for that matter
Fuck AI.
I'm happy doing what I do - reading, arts and crafts, tiktok, YouTube ect. I love interacting with you all.
My inbox is always open for venting, happy stuff, arts and crafts stuff, writing stuff. Whatever you god damn want except for hate. Hate is not wanted and I'm tired of tumblr thinking it's cool to promote hate and all that shit
If you're reading this: Stay awesome, stay cool, take care of yourselves and take time for yourself when you need it. Don't beat yourself up all the time

I know I still need to properly introduce Tali, but I won an art raffle last month on Twitter and I just got the finished art for my sweet baby girl and I need to show it to everyone. Big thanks to Clamlynn on Twitter for drawin this. I think they had a lot of fun with this because of all the refs I threw at them. (Careful NSFW Artist!)
And here we are, and yes I gave refs for the wedding clothes if anyone recognizes it lol You can also see her little ears and tail she has half transformed as hyena and yes she is a spotted hyena.
