Thanks for the tag! Here we go! I’m currently working on Night Of The Blue Moon, which is the first in a two-book series about adult magical girls who fight with powers given to them by the Greek titans. It’s an urban fantasy romance which will deal with some pretty heavy topics, such as police and political corruption, as well as sexual assault and workplace abuse. I like to think of it as a gay adult Miraculous Ladybug x Percy Jackson crossover (Both main characters are women, and they’re in love but don’t know it. They’re oblivious to each other’s secret identities, which leads to some love square shenanigans…). Anyway, Night Of The Blue Moon will be the first book in the series, and the main villain will be Orpheus, who is killing people and harvesting their souls in an attempt to buy his son back from the dead. The second book’s main villain will be Eunomia Morrigan, a nurse who is using Thanatos’s powers to kill the patients she doesn’t want to treat. I don’t have a title for the second book yet, but it will likely come out after I’ve published Blood On A Yellow Rose, a standalone work unrelated to Night Of The Blue Moon. Blood On A Yellow Rose is going to be about an aromantic vampire doctor who befriends an also aromantic terminally ill human patient who is dying alone due to their friends abandoning them.

Character List (This is not a complete character list, as I have yet to write the second book, or even come up with a coherent plot, but this is what I have so far):

Hades

Anargyros

Viceroy Steadman/Orpheus

Chardonnay Steadman/Eurydice

Brooklyn Steadman

Solana’s Mother

Hecate

Chardonnay Steadman/Eurydice

Eunomia Morrigan/Angel of Death

can you tell me a little about Myrna O’Shaughnessy

And the yellow rose?

Thanks for the asks! Myrna O’Shaughnessy is Solana’s roommate, and a former Vtuber who was fired from VSweeties, the Vtuber agency that Solana currently works for under the name, Akai Starlight. VSweeties is owned by Viceroy Steadman/Orpheus, and he is known for sexually and emotionally exploiting the Vtubers who work for him, but Solana cannot afford to quit the agency as she has no other income. Myrna is currently helping Solana make it as an indie Vtuber, Kirameki Sunstone, so that she’ll be able to quit VSweeties.

As for Blood On A Yellow Rose, the title is in reference to the fact that the MC (Who I don’t have a name for yet) is a vampire, and yellow roses represent friendship and joy. The MC is a doctor who steals blood packs from the hospital she works at to feed herself with. She got turned in the 80s and isn’t very up to date with the modern world, and she is very much in denial about the fact that she’s aromantic. It’s not until she meets the terminally ill secondary MC that she comes to terms with her identity.

Hope that answers your questions ^_^

Thanks for the tag! I’m sooo excited for YWIMC and Tenshito ^_^

The Tengu And The Angel

A troubled teen artist makes his way up north after running away from his abusive alcoholic mother, and is taken in by an equally troubled fashion designer. They become best friends, fall in love, and learn to let go of their pasts while being the most sickeningly sweet and loving fictional couple you’ll read about this year. As you might’ve guessed from the title, Japanese mythology is a major theme in this book. Released December 2023, and available now on Amazon Kindle and Kobo

Night Of The Blue Moon

Indie game developer who lives a double life is forced to live a triple life when she’s given powers by the titan Phoebe, and tasked with defeating Orpheus, the supervillain whose son ruined her life and her career prospects. Also she’s in love with her sidekick, but she doesn’t know it (Yet). This is basically Miraculous Ladybug meets Percy Jackson, but for adults. Also it’s very gay because what’s a magical girl story without sapphic subtext? Currently in progress, release date TBA, but will likely be early 2025

Blood On A Yellow Rose

Aromantic vampire doctor befriends terminally ill patient who is also aromantic. Vampire turns terminally ill patient into a vampire so that they can live forever when it becomes abundantly clear that the two of them are soulmates, and there’s a lot of discussion about amatonormativity in human society, and how it contributes to bigotry against people on the aromantic spectrum. Both are tired of being treated like second class citizens due to never wanting to be in a romantic relationship, and being abandoned by their friends in favor of romantic pursuits. In progress, release date TBA but will likely be sometime in 2026

Thanks for the tag! This is an interesting one, but I’ll bite ^^

(I’m surprised that Ali made the list, like, he is so lovely, he can do no wrong in my eyes ^^)

(TW: Mentions of SA. I would recommend that you skip this if you don’t want to see that)

Greed:

Orpheus. He is a billionaire who owns two of the UK’s leading entertainment companies, plus he uses his wealth to buy his and his family’s way out of trouble on the regular. He wants a complete monopoly over the country so that he can do whatever he wants without consequences.

Sloth:

Oh, Eurydice, 100%. She got pregnant, so Orpheus married her, and she hasn’t worked a day in her life since their son, Brooklyn was born, and she wastes all of her time spending her husband’s money on designer clothes and posting bad takes on X. She’s one of those celebrities who’s famous because they married rich, and not because they’re talented in any way.

Gluttony:

This was a difficult one, but if I had to pick one, it’d probably be Pamela (I’m not sure if that will be her final name, as she’s a very new OC, but I like the meaning so far and it seems to suit her). She’s a vampire doctor who steals blood packs from the hospital she works at to feed herself with. She refuses to bite humans to get her blood, as she doesn’t want to hurt anyone or turn them into a vampire without their consent.

Wrath:

Solana, 100% Solana. She is very quick to anger, and she likes making her enemies suffer, especially Orpheus. He deserves it for what he did to her, and for what his son did to her girlfriend, Ariel…

Envy:

Theo fits this to a T. He wants everything that Kunio has, but he’ll never get it, and let’s be honest, he doesn’t deserve it. People like Theo who expect everyone to allow them to treat them like shit without consequences don’t deserve friends or a partner.

Lust:

Brooklyn. He wouldn’t take ‘no’ for an answer and thought that he was entitled to the affections of every woman he ever wanted. He stalked, harassed and threatened women whenever they refused his advances, and if stalking and threats didn’t coerce them into letting him sleep with them, he straight up raped them.

Pride:

Kunio, honey, the call is coming from inside from the house on this one. He takes pride in everything he does, especially his art. He’s the kind of artist who’s so talented that he makes other artists feel worthless when they look at his art, and he owns it. If you compliment his art, he won’t shyly laugh it off, no, your compliment will go straight to his head because he knows that he deserves it ^^

✨😈Seven Deadly Sins Tag😈✨

Thank you very much for this tag here, @drchenquill , as well as anyone else who has tagged me for this !! This looks like a fun one! 💫✨

Rules: which of your OCs would you assign to which of the seven deadly sins and why?

Alright, here we go ✨

Greed:

Peter from Peter Hart would have to take this one. He’s a treasure pirate, and captain of the Golden Phoenix Gang. That title alone shows that Peter is a fan of materialistic wealth, and has amassed a fair amount of coin on all of his adventures. One of the themes in Peter Hart is “The Price of Greed,” which is to say he has to choose between a moral good and his own self-indulgence quite often.

Sloth:

Noah from YWIMC takes this one. He is holed up in his apartment when he’s not required to attend class, takes online courses when that option is given just to avoid going out in public, and hates going outside of his comfort zone.

Wrath:

Tyr from ITROG fits the bill the best. He is one spiteful, vengeful, and angry OC that constantly fights for his own survival, and his defiant and bull-headed attitude has gotten him into lots of trouble, with the biggest act of defiance serving as the catalyst for his forced adventure.

Gluttony:

Ali from YWIMC would fit this sin best. He is not only a glutton for knowledge, but is also incredibly self-indulgent once he is freed from the lamp. Taking life’s pleasures to the extreme, as well as his love of cooking, matches this sin very well.

Envy:

Gustav from ITROG would be the most envious OC. Constantly searching and competing with nature, he’s always felt like an outcast to other giants. He often finds himself wishing to fit in, and wishing to have that sense of family that he doesn’t have as a wandering lone wolf.

Lust:

Itazura from Tenshito would be lust on account of his occupation (porn star). Though he does wish to escape this job and become a chef, there’s no doubt that Ita has enjoyed the fortune that comes with this role, despite despising the fame. Being paid exorbitantly has had its merits, yet one of Ita’s struggles in the story is how much his current job is worth the risk.

Pride:

Benjamin from Peter Hart would match this sin the most. Being raised as a prince has given Benji a sense of ego, which thoroughly gets checked on several occasions. His sense of self-worth on the surface seems inflated, but deep down Benjamin struggles with his identity, and wishes to escape his duties in order to freely express himself.

You may have noticed that Tenshi from Tenshito is not on this list. The cinnamon roll angel is no sinner; he is a saint. 🙏🪽✨

Thanks for the tag! Going in with all of my MCs so far lol: Kunio has fallen asleep at their desk while working in the middle of the night

This actually happened in canon, so yes

Nathaniel is not allowed to drink energy drinks

Also yes. He’s not allowed to because he’s had a kidney transplant, and caffeinated drinks put a lot of pressure on the renal system

Solana is a horrible liar

Nope, I mean, lying to conceal your identity is part of the job description when you’re a Vtuber, and when you’re a magical girl

Ariel is very good at using chopsticks

Yup, 100%. She lives on instant ramen and uses disposable chopsticks to avoid having to wash them after

Pamela is very willing to eat inedible things

She’s a vampire who subsists on human blood, so, kinda? I mean, her diet would not be healthy or palatable for a human…

Zinnia hates being alone (Babe, wake up, a new Alina Capella OC just dropped!)

Oh, boy, canon, 100%. She’s come to accept the fact that she’ll die alone (Spoiler alert, she won’t die ever)—All of her friends keep ditching her, and her best friend since childhood abandoned her when she was diagnosed with a terminal illness, but she still doesn’t like being alone…

Random headcannon tag

TY for the tag @drchenquill

Random headcannon generator here

Here’s some of the cast from Snow on the Pines:

Fen has an incredible long-term memory but an awful short-term memory- Both his short and long term memory are very good. The only thing he has a hard term remembering are his dreams.

Playa is a great artist- It’s not as bad as her cooking…but it still isn’t something anyone would write home about.

Cya would buy clothes from the soup store- Nope. If she needs anything, she can ask a family member to sew something.

Zephyr watched the Sonic movie- Considering that he has no idea what a camera or a movie is, this is a no.

What current or future wip are you looking forward to writing the most?

Thanks for the ask! After I’ve finished Night Of The Blue Moon, I’m pretty excited to get to work on Blood On A Yellow Rose. I’ve had the idea since at least 2022, and I’m excited about writing not one, but two canonically aromantic MCs (Nathaniel, the secondary MC of The Tengu And The Angel is demiromantic, so he’s on the aromantic spectrum, but Pamela and Zinnia are both completely aromantic). Pamela not only embraces her immortality as a vampire, but celebrates it, and the only drawback she finds with it is not having anyone to share it with due to being abandoned in favor of romantic relationships by her friends. There’s gonna be a lot of discussion about how platonic relationships aren’t valued by society, and how even lifelong friendships are tossed to one side as soon as one party enters a romantic relationship, and people are expected to just be ok with that. Both Pamela and Zinnia are tired of always being treated like second class citizens due to not wanting romantic relationships, and it’s through this that they learn that soulmates don’t have to be purely romantic in nature. They are each other’s soulmates.

I’m also really excited to start working on the sequel to Night Of The Blue Moon. The first book deals with Orpheus, a villain who is using his powers to bring back someone who doesn’t deserve to live, (His son, Brooklyn, a serial stalker and rapist) but the second book will deal with Mia Morrigan, a villain who kills people who she thinks don’t deserve to live. She is a nurse who stole the choker of Thanatos, and is using it to reap the souls of patients she doesn’t want to care for. At first, all of her victims were truly awful people (A serial rapist, and a drunk driver who killed the parents of a five year old girl), but as time went on, she started targeting people she simply didn’t like. Ariel, Solana, and perhaps a new ally (I haven’t decided who will be joining them yet, but it will probably be either Myrna or Raphael), will be charged with defeating Mia, and taking back Thanatos’ choker.

Thanks for the tag! This is gonna be a long one…

How long have you had your writing Tumblr/Writeblr? A fast and loose estimate is fine!

Since around September last year.

What led you to create it?

Simple, I wanted to promote my books and meet other writers, and tumblr seemed like the best place to do that. And so far, that has very much been the case ^^

What’s your favorite thing about the Writeblr community?

How supportive everyone is here. It’s been quite easy to break in and gain a following ^^

What’s one thing you’d like your mutuals to know about you?

You are always welcome to interact with me in any way you see fit. Tag me, send me asks, comment on my stories and OCs, I live for all of it.

When someone asks the dreaded, “What do you write about,” question, what do you usually say?

I usually just tell people that I write romance and fantasy. Some of my friends ask if I’ll ever write anything with two completely straight characters, but I don’t plan on doing that anytime soon. That and every single one of my projects so far has at least one main character on the asexual/aromantic spectrum (The Tengu And The Angel has Nathaniel, who’s demiromantic, Night Of The Blue Moon has Ariel, who’s asexual, and Solana, who’s graysexual, and Blood On A Yellow Rose has two aromantic MCs, Pamela and Zinnia)

Let’s Rotate Blorbos

Name any characters you created.  Side characters, protagonists, antagonists, characters who’ve never been written, the first original abomination you ever pulled from your ass; whomever you’d like!

I have a lot, but just to name a few…Kunio, Nathaniel, Tama, Layla, Theo, Ariel, Solana, Raphael, Anargyros, Brooklyn, Orpheus, Eurydice, Mia, Myrna, Pamela, and Zinnia. (That’s right! The MCs for my new project, Blood On A Yellow Rose, have official names now!)

Who’s the most unhinged?

Theo, definitely Theo. He’s very mentally unstable, and he drove everyone who ever cared about him away with his toxic, abusive behavior.

Who comes the most naturally for you to write?

Kunio. I know him like the back of my hand.

Do you ever cringe at them?

Sometimes.

How much control do you feel you have over your characters?  AKA, do they ever “write themselves,” refuse to cooperate, or do things you didn’t expect? To what degree? Are some less cooperative than others?

I have a fair sense of control over Ariel, but her thoughts and feelings are quite similar to my own, so that’s a given. I have significantly less control over Kunio and Nathaniel, however. They have a tendency to write themselves…And to make bad decisions that ultimately end up making things worse for them…

Kunio: Since when do I make bad decisions?

Me: Since you decided to go and meet with your mother. I knew that that wouldn’t end well, but you insisted on going

Kunio:…Touchè…

Do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters? And do you have a preferred means of receiving said questions? For example, as Asks, as replies, as reblogs, as tag notes, as comments on AO3, etc.

Oh, yes, I love getting questions and/or comments about my OCs. I don’t have a preference, any kind of interaction is fine by me, I just like seeing that people care about my OCs enough to want to know more ^^

Is there anything you’d like to see more of on your dash?

I’d honestly like to see more of my moots publishing their full works instead of just snippets. I know that your work is good, please publish it, I want to buy it and read it in full and tell everyone I know to read it too ^^

What makes you decide against following?

I won’t follow someone who’s any form of -ist or -phobic, especially ace/arophobic. I also won’t follow someone if I know that they are a minor, as I don’t want to expose kids to my writing when it’s not really appropriate for them.

Which Works-in-Progress (WIPs) or writing projects are you noodling about, lately?

Anyone who’s following me already knows this, but I’m working on Night Of The Blue Moon RN, and after that I’ll be writing Blood On A Yellow Rose ^^

How long have you been working on them?

It took me a few years to finish The Tengu And The Angel. I started it in 2021 and didn’t finish it until 2023, but that’s because there were a lot of things about it that were extremely challenging to write. As for Night Of The Blue Moon, I started drafting it in December 2023, finished the first draft in August, and I’m now finishing the second draft ^^

Do you remember what inspired them/what got you started?

The Tengu And The Angel was inspired by Nana, and I also wanted to work my obsession with Japanese mythology into it somehow, so I decided to try and weave some of that mythology into what is otherwise a story grounded in harsh reality. As for Night Of The Blue Moon, I really wanted to write a magical girl story, and I went with Greek mythology as a theme because I know Greek mythology very well (Are you noticing a theme here?), and I thought that it would be fun to make Orpheus a bad guy. Oh, and I decided to make it gay because every good magical girl story is at least a little bit sapphic, am I right?

Blood On A Yellow Rose, meanwhile, is drawn from my own experiences of being aromantic. Both MCs are tired of being treated like second class citizens because they don’t want romantic relationships, and both have been ditched by people who called themselves their friends, only to immediately abandon them when they started dating someone. There’s gonna be a lot of discussion about how platonic relationships are viewed as second-class relationships by society, and how the devaluation of platonic relationships contributes to bigotry against those on the aromantic spectrum.

How much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them?

A good 70-80% of my conscious thoughts are about my WIPs. I don’t write to live, I live to write.

Do you interact with non-mutuals often?

I try to. I will follow anyone whom I find particularly interesting, and if I like the look of their books (Assuming that they have published books), I’ll reblog them so that I don’t forget to add them to my reading list ^^

Do your mutuals’ characters occupy space in your noodle?

You bet! I LOVED Shadow’s Hidden Blade, but I can’t say much about Ursa without spoiling the entire thing (Go read it, it’s seriously good), and I must have gushed about Rei and Teru way too often by now (Go read The Stars May Rise And Fall, if a gay Phantom Of The Opera retelling set in 2000s Japan sounds like your thing, you’ll love it, and even if it isn’t, you’ll probably still love it)

Tagging @alwri-tes and @autism-purgatory!

✨Writer Questionnaire Tag ✨

Thank you for the tags @wyked-ao3 here, and @thatuselesshuman here ! Y’all are great! 💛✨

How long have you had your writing Tumblr/Writeblr? A fast and loose estimate is fine!

I’ve had this blog since….end of April? Early May?

What led you to create it?

When I set up all my socials, I wanted to use this as a way to build a writing community, share my stories, and exploring and sharing the ideas of other likeminded individuals.

What’s your favorite thing about the Writeblr community?

How kind and welcoming writeblr is. The community is supportive of everyone’s stories and OCs, and everyone has some wonderfully unique and fascinating characters.

What’s one thing you’d like your mutuals to know about you?

You are always. Always. ALWAYS welcome to tag me, message me, send asks, interact with me. I absolutely endorse the engagement and excitement in this community, and even though I may miss a few tags, just know that seeing you tag me to see your stories brings the biggest, goofiest smile on my face. Thank you for being you and sharing your creative minds with us 💛✨

Is there anything you’d like to see more of on your dash?

Kindness, support, and creative stories. Keep writing, keep inspiring, keep on keeping on.

WIP it Good

Which Works-in-Progress (WIPs) or writing projects are you noodling about, lately?

Your Wish Is My Command is my current WIP at about 75% complete. I have a little bit to share from Tenshito as well, but the latter will have to get majorly cut down and restructured before it’s ready ✨

How long have you been working on them?

Planning and ideas began a couple of years ago. Writing them down? For YWIMC since early May, and Tenshito since 2020 (took a hiatus to focus on work and big life stuff, like moving twice and getting married)

Do you remember what inspired them/what got you started?

My love of storytelling, video games, and Disney. I wrote and published Peter Hart based off of a few of my favorite video games 🏴‍☠️💛✨

How much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them?

All the time. At least once a day, if not more. My stories help me get to sleep…when I eventually GET to sleep 😴💤

When someone asks the dreaded, “What do you write about,” question, what do you usually say?

BL romantasy novels. It encompasses every person asking, and umbrellas many subgenres.

Let’s Rotate Blorbos

Name any characters you created.  Side characters, protagonists, antagonists, characters who’ve never been written, the first original abomination you ever pulled from your ass; whomever you’d like!

Oof that’s a big list. Let me just do major protagonists/antagonists from stories: Peter, Benjamin, Davey, Ali, Noah, Tenshi, Itazura, Yoji, Tyr, Gustav, Jak, Johnny, Nathan, X, Ollie, and Callum

Who’s the most unhinged?

Peter 🏴‍☠️💛✨

Who comes the most naturally for you to write?

Peter 🏴‍☠️💛✨

Do you ever cringe at them?

Sometimes….depends on what they do. I never cringe at my stories, but sometimes my characters make choices that personally make me go “😬”

How much control do you feel you have over your characters?  AKA, do they ever “write themselves,” refuse to cooperate, or do things you didn’t expect? To what degree? Are some less cooperative than others?

(Slowly looks over at Peter)

Peter: …..What?

Do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters? And do you have a preferred means of receiving said questions? For example, as Asks, as replies, as reblogs, as tag notes, as comments on AO3, etc.

Oh always!! ALWAYS!! Any method is absolutely fine and encouraged by me, but I ALWAYS love when people leave AO3 comments on my stories 💖💫✨

On writeblr engagement

What makes you want to follow another Writeblr account? Do you follow ‘em as you see ‘em, or take time scoping out the blog to make sure you align with its content? Do you follow based on WIPs, or vibes?

I scope out the content before I follow for sure. Because I write adult fiction, I look through posts to make sure that our interests would align, and that the blog mentions an age that is 18+. If I am ever uncertain or have a suspicion beyond a reasonable doubt that the blog is run by a minor, I won’t follow them (and unfollow if I get suspicious of their posts)

What makes you decide against following?

I use discretion on age, politics, and religion before following. Any homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise hateful conduct gets automatically blocked. The world needs more kindness and uplifting of one another. We need to bring each other up, not tear each other down.

Do you interact with non-mutuals often?

I try to! Usually in the form of reblogs and ask games. My pile for work and tumblr keeps stacking though, so I find myself getting very busy very often (and that’s a good thing! ✨)

Do your mutuals’ characters occupy space in your noodle?

All the time, every time. To name a few mutuals: G.J, Jamie, Gioia, Casper, Tobin, Jay, Wyked, Gina, and Jev have characters that are my current hyperfixations. But there are SO, SO many that are so interesting that I want to learn more!! ✨

Thank you so much for tagging me, you two!! Going to alert the tag list on this one 💛✨
