Well I finally decided to start a blog to document my writing. I've always been bad at sharing my achievements with people, so I'm hoping this will boost my confidence as an artist.
About me
You can call me Poppy (she/her), 20s
I write gothic fiction, historical fantasy, and horror
Themes I enjoy: nature, the occult, platonic love, madness
At the moment, I have 2 WIPs that I will be posting about, and many other plot-bunnies that may pop up from time to time
My favourite book is The Angel's Game by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Project Title: A Pocket Of Moons
A Victorian Gothic fairytale following the friendship between a painter and her muse, a werewolf. Their bond is put into jeopardy, however, when our werewolf is indoctrinated into a cult of others like him, led by a mysterious human, and he begins to lose his sanity. Think Wolfwalkers meets Midsommar but with the atmosphere of Frankenstein.
As of writing, I have one or two editing rounds until this is up for beta
Project Title: The Evening Rain's Applause
1930s noir horror. We follow the ghost of a disgraced orchestra violinist as he tries to discover the identity of the stranger who turned up his funeral. He is lead into a huge web of occult mysteries as he digs into a harrowing personal history he never knew he had.
This is still in the early stages, but I'm already deeply obsessed with it
Please don't hesitate to pop in and say hi! I'm here to make friends and have a good time. See you around!

⥉ Welcome to my blog! ⥉
Tumblr media
⥉ About the Author ⥉
Update as of 7/4/24: I'll be lurking on tumblr every once in a while, but otherwise I don't know when I'll be properly active. Easter went... well, a spiked cement ball to the face would've been far more preferable.
Call me Aranea or Ara, a 22 yr old Aussie gal who is ever so slowly working on her novels. Not picky on what pronouns you use for me. I've been writing since I was 14, and been on and off tumblr just as long.
Have a part time job, volunteer at Vinnies, and working on a cert IV. Also practice witchcraft.
Current interests: Dragon Age, Dragons Dogma, Mass Effect, Skulduggery Pleasant, and Vampyr. I also play the Sims 4, so might even post some of my characters that way.
Favourite genres: Fantasy, horror, paranormal, science fiction, and historical.
Other platforms: AO3
Personal tag: #ara rambles
Tumblr media
⥉ About This Blog ⥉
Open to asks about my OCs, world lore, or just wanting to drop in and have a chat!
Mainly using this blog to share lore, snippets of my novels, things that amuse me and worldbuilding.
Tumblr media
Current Novel WIPs:
Monstrum (Which, yes, is loosely based on my fanfic under the same name) A God who never wanted to be a God, sea elves, sapphic dwarven Goddess, polyamory is pretty much the norm, cursed tome that exploded a temple, MC works out he's a transman... What more could you want? Oh wait, there's one more thing: son of God who died multiple times and came back wrong each time, is currently possessing MC's meant-to-be-dead mother! Oops.
Quondam
Tumblr media
Takes place centuries before Monstrum, when The Maker was only a sorcerer who wanted a better world... and now deals with the consequences of taking over as Sovereign of the World. Surely she can change her world without destroying it?
[Un-named]
Crash landing on a unknown planet, memories wiped... The A.I. with corrupted data, known as Thio, calls them Viator, but is that their name? Or a title? The only thing Viator knows is that they were thrown into a black hole... and now have a ship to fix, and to find civilisation.

EVERYONE PLEASE HELP WITH MY PROJECT, EVEN IF I DIDN'T TAG YOU
I call upon all writers, please
I will accept any type of assistance
Any type at all
@vyuntspakhkite-l-darling @agirlandherquill @ajgrey9647 @mk-writes-stuff @illarian-rambling @supersoakerfullofblood @smudged-red-ink
I know this is probably not a good thing to ask some pretty busy people, But I'm trying to Brainstorm an argument between J&R that drives a rift between them for a bit
Feel free to pass this right up, but I'd love if you were to give me a few suggestions, lines, or even help me build the dialogue.
--------------------------------------------
If you want to help here's the overview:
(Rose calls Jak Horns and Jak calls her Petals until shit gets serious - Like someone's going to die or unless they're really angry.)
Rose and Jak get into a heated argument over... something? (Idk what... but it's probably Jak's mental issues)
Rose ends up hurting Jak by saying he's worthless, (She very much doesn't mean it but she's got some anger-management issues)
Jak ends up hurting her by Saying he doesn't care about her and/or he doesn't care about her efforts to help her and just wants to be alone (He also very much does not mean that, but he also has issues with anger)
Neither of them can really communicate properly, and I have Rose's End Line that hurts Jak, but I don't have his that hurts her.
So far I've just got this outline:
Start it off with R confronting J about [issue]
J shoots back with a very tired, and frustrated snide comment, because he knows about [issue] but he doesn't know how to fix it and it's making him angry with himself
R says something sarcastic back because she's getting annoyed
They go back and forth for a bit
It escalates with J saying something about how not everyone can be so perfectly level-headed all of the time
R shouts at him for that
More back and forth
It escalates again with R saying he's too sentimental
They take jabs at one another's insecurities for a bit (For Rose: Her hiding her feelings, the fact that she's very passionate and loud most of the time, and for Jak his drinking and his inability to cope with himself and his memories)
Then R Says something about how she cares about him
J shoots back with his Hurt Line
And She immediately shoots back with hers and storms out, (Probably crying)
At this point J is probably also crying
{I'm planning on letting the Argument run when I write but I need a framework so it doesn't go completely off the rails,}
Anyway, Rose's main goal here is to kick some sense into Jak
And Jak's main goal is to get Rose away from him so he can't hurt her anymore. He wants to use this argument as a way to hurt her badly enough so she'll leave and not be truly hurt when he eventually dies, or hurt herself by trying to help him
He wants to keep her safe, and in his eyes the only way to do that is to hurt her enough so that she stays out of harm's way.
So, I only have these so far:
"You can be suck a fucking Prick sometimes, Horns!" - R
“Why should you? Why do you? I don’t want you to! Why can’t you just leave it alone? Why can't you just leave me alone?" - J
And Rose's hurt line which I will keep to myself for now.
I will take anything, Lines, series of lines, descriptions, tips, brainstorming sessions, reconstructing of the outline, Literally Anything

Writblr Intro
hello everyone! i've just recently started interacting with writblr and it's time for an intro :)
feel free to interact with me! tag me, send me asks, etc. i'm friendly! i'll follow back if your writing looks interesting or it seems like we have a lot in common ♥
Who the heck are you? My name is Skye and I use they/them! I'm in my 20s and I'm going back to school this semester for English. I've always wanted to write books and I'm finally starting to realize those goals!
What do you like? For writing, I love fantasy. I love wonder and magic and beauty, especially in nature. I want people engaging with my work to feel like they are small things in a big, mysterious, beautiful, dangerous, impossible world. I'm also an optimist, and I hope those things come through in my work. I tend to have a lot of younger protagonists in my long form work. A lot of it comes from looking back on my childhood and not wanting young people to feel powerless the way I did. However, I can't resist some gritty dark fantasy every once in a while >:) Some of my influences include Neil Gaiman, Studio Ghibli, His Dark Materials, Ursula K. Le Guin, Into the Spider-Verse, Toby Fox, and my lovely D&D buddies. I might expand on this as I think of more! Beyond writing, I also enjoy video games (lots of em), drawing (@astrophysician), D&D of course, and chess (mutuals are welcome to challenge me! i'm not high rated in any capacity but i'm learning!) i also make music sometimes
Show me the WIPs! I have two main projects right now: Mothwing and Story of Magus (working title). More info in my pinned. Tag lists will be recorded on their intro posts. Going forward I will also be tagging all my writing and poetry with #skyewriting Mothwing is a graphic novel. Upon fleeing her mother’s home, a girl has a brush with Death, who gifts her a cursed cloak made of moth wings. In order to break the curse, she must travel to the Land of the Fae to seek the mysterious Silver Door, which is fabled to heal any and all curses and wounds. | Short intro (have to write a real one) Story of Magus is a middle grade novel. When a clever magic student and a trespassing Witch uncover the greatest secret of the floating city of Valerius, they must rescue the student's sister from Valerius’ clutches without bringing the city to the ground. | WIP Intro
thanks for reading this far! ur a real one ;) i'm excited to meet more people!

wip sampler pt. i
sometimes summaries are great but other times a good passage that encapsulates the style, the prose, and major themes of the work is a good hook into if you should get invested into a work or not.
so, i’ve created a wip sampler, like an appetizer tray. not all of my wips are listed here; just the ones that i have a good passage i can use for this purpose. i hope as i write my other wips and flesh them out more with prose i can make a part 2 with those.
thanks for reading in advance :3c lemme know your faves!
paramour
Whenever there was an opening, like water, Amon slipped through—fluid and malleable. Hyacinthus however, shaped any opening to his own size. Water in a vase, as was water to a mountain. They pushed and shaped each other, in ways uncomfortable to dwell on.
donut wip
Instead of dreams, I felt a sort of sinking dread continuing to follow my every move like a shadow that I couldn’t escape. When I had happy dreams of being home for the holidays, just my sister and I, there was something sinister behind the taxi driver’s smile as he took us to our hotel from the airport. When I tried to dream of something else, swirls of red and umber clouded my vision. The moment I began to stir awake, small slits appeared in the middle of the haze, like two eyes staring straight down at me—
noi, alone
Noi frowned. In everything they’d read about what happened, very little detail was given about where things were located, or how the bodies had been found. Just that they had been. And even that information the police were reluctant to give up. Noi was already planning on breaking into the closed off dormitory at some point, hopefully after they found more evidence or a motive behind what was going on with, well, any of the victims of this confusing string of crimes. But Juvia Vaughn deserved answers— and Noi knew they wouldn’t get theirs about the her mother or whatever else could’ve lead to this if they didn’t offer up answers of their own.
A plan was beginning to brew in their mind, one that they unfortunately wouldn’t be able to do on their own. They’d need help, at least two others… ladders… a lock pick...
“Noi?” Juvia asked, quietly. Noi looked back up at the screen, meeting Juvia’s gaze. The gleam in their eyes was determined.
“I don’t know.” They admitted. “But I’ll find out.”
jenna the reaper
Jenna continued to stare straight ahead, but the way she pulled at the hem of her gray skirt didn’t go unnoticed. “Don’t know too much about it myself. Mother says Reapers hate witches.”
“Huh. I don’t see how they’re too different.”
“Whenever I asked Mother before she got very… closed up. I stopped asking.” Well, that settled it then. If Kashmira didn’t tell Jenna, who she usually indulged in anything her curious heart desired, she either truly didn’t know… or Jenna wouldn’t like the answer— which is what Carlos suspected to be the real reason. It had to be, and Jenna didn’t tell him. Or couldn’t. She kept fidgeting in her seat— and usually Jenna was unnervingly still.
Whatever Reapers were… he hoped they never ran into them. But surely, they wouldn’t have an interest in a sleepy town like this… right?
jenna the witch king
“When I become a witch, I want Carlos to be my familiar.”
The definitiveness in her voice, like with everything she said, was unwavering. Jenna looked out towards the window, and Kashmira could’ve almost swore she saw more blonde creep up from the tips of her daughter’s hair even closer to her scalp… but only by a little.
The power of manifestation.
the graves we dug
Each booming step echoed like the click of a bullet in its chamber. Bodies parted around him, drawing back like the tide. The only person unphased was the stranger themself, and when Graves finally loomed over them, all he was met with was searing green eyes, and a smile that could destroy worlds.
“Dove.”
“Graves.” Dove’s voice aloud was music, an achingly familiar cadence in the comforting sea of unfamiliar. Drawing him in. Pulling him back. Back to a time long before now.
“It’s been ages since I’ve seen you.”
vampires don’t take road trips
The most I knew of my mother was sequestered to fleeting memories of my elementary school years, when I realized I was the only kid in my class who didn’t have a ‘mommy’ around. I remembered coming home and demanding answers to a myriad of questions: What did she look like? Oh champ, she looks just like you! Same beauty mark and everything. Or, what kind of person she was? She was… fierce. Like a lion! Worst of all, where is she? And that question never got an answer. Sometimes part of me wondered if my mom was dead but… Every year Dave and I went to visit his grandmother’s grave, so I’d expect the same treatment for my mom. Did she just leave? Was she in jail? Did she hate me? If she was alive, why couldn’t I see her? It was something that, over time I came to accept.
It’s not as though I needed a mother anyway.
lukewarm rejection
All eyes were on Toph. The band. Their groupies. The crowd. Everyone was curious to how well this new singer would be able to fill the sudden Maverick shaped wound that left them—him—delirious and bleeding.
Toph stepped up to the mic. Grasped it roughly, like a demanding hand around the throat. Opened his mouth to sing that first, soul crushing note. The one that Maverick trained for months to hit.
And fuck.
Di was almost upset that Toph was better.
the virgin of mt. heredosa
“The Council of Elders has requested an audience with you. You are to be escorted there, immediately.”
“What if I refuse?” Nyoka asked, inching towards the courtyard once more. But, Mother seemed keen to this, for suddenly her hand was digging its claws into their shoulder. Nyoka winced, looking up at the elderly woman who was suddenly standing astride them.
“I said,” Her smile was chilling, like an eclipse. “You are to be escorted there. Immediately.”
gothica
“We’re horrible for each other.” Aurora pointed out and I laughed at him. Threw my head back and had a damn good guffaw. “Of course we are!” I said, utterly breathless. “You’re a psychotic son of a bitch and I just helped you beat that girl senseless. We’re horrible and it’s perfect!”
“That’s not a good thing, Len.” Aurora wasn’t looking at me and I sucked my teeth. I hated it when he did this—when he tried to do that serious voice to try and shut me up and make me listen to him. When he tried to tell me what was good and wasn’t good for me. Like he knew me better than I knew myself, like he had the fucking right to say that to me. I shoved him hard, and he stumbled into the wall. “Don’t you start with that!”
“I’m fucking serious!” Aurora got in my face again, shoving me back against the opposite end of the alley, hard enough so that I tripped. I hit the bricks, scraping my hands and my cheek, enough that I felt part of my tooth chip and I crumpled to a heap on the floor.
“Ow, you fuck!”
“This isn’t some fucking joke!”
red death and the oracle’s favor
“Then you would know…” She murmured so quietly than Hel almost couldn’t hear her. “You would know where Violetta is.” Hearing her words, and the drop of an unfamiliar name, Hel gave Red a small, crooked grin. She felt as though he’d been waiting all this time for that crumb of information but she couldn’t help it. He could be her only chance.
“Perhaps.” He said slowly. “But something like that I won’t tell you for free.”
peri & dandy
Dandy looked at him earnestly. With love. With devotion. Eyes half lidded in naked desire.
“I hope they never fix us.” He said seriously.
marvin & linda
“How many of the stories you’ve told me are true?”
“Hard to say,” Linda finally answered. Their eyes wandered back towards each other.
“How many of them do you want to believe?”
