Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, Lori Gottlieb

Where it Begins, Erica Jong 

[ID: The corruption begins with the mouth, / the tongue, the wanting. / The first poem in the world / is I want to eat.]

Kafka actually wrote like this…

when kafka said ‘you wouldn’t believe the kind of person I could become if you wanted it’ and when brontë said ‘if you ever looked at me with what I know is in you, I would be your slave’ and when Sartre said ‘if I’ve got to suffer it may as well be at your hands’

divinity kink in less of a "fuck me in a nun habit" way and more of a "put me on my knees and rewrite my understanding of faith and show me what a loving god's hand feels like and give me mercy and wrath and splendor and leave your communion dripping from my lips and teach me how every part of my body was meant to worship you"

also divinity kink in a "my mortality corrupts you to turn into something that isn't entirely divine anymore" way, a "divinity is a lonely perch, let me drag you to the earth with my base soul" and "all may worship at your altar but whose altar do you bow to" way

we have progressed past the need for ‘writeblr is dying’ posts. have you considered it is still school season for most people and that people have jobs or other responsibilities. writeblr is not dead. people just have lives outside of tumblr. stop making these posts to fish for notes.

a writeblr intro —

i actually had made a writeblr before but that account turned into a litblr, soooo i decided to start fresh! (@tormentings​ heehehehee)

about me —

sooo hii!! call me dylan! i use she/her pronouns and i’m literally obsessed with dark fantasy tropes so pleaseee share your works and tag me in literally everything pleaseee. i’m sixteen, literally procrastinating on everything, and i’m obsessed with fencing and i have a knack for being socially awkward. but don’t hesitate to send me an ask or a message, i’d love to be friends! :’)

works — 

i have a shit ton of works that are currently sitting untouched, but here are my main ones.

the spaces between universes — in the years leading to the end of world war ii, a runaway, a traitor, a soldier, an outcast, and a boy given the title of murderer navigate the complicated anomalies of the human heart, its crevices and its intricate veins to find the cure to heartache as war ravishes and tragedy gnaws at their bones. (historical fiction + romance)

the language of honey blossoms — in the midst of a ravishing war with the divinity, girls with rotting lips and boys with decaying skins continue to thrive in the crooked alleyways of stadhtberg as the city becomes a stronghold for six savagely desperate mortals who are hungry for immortality. they are the thieves of divinity, stealers of ichor, killers of a god, chasers of the one who doesn’t know how to save the world. (dark fantasy)

in the mouths of crows — there can be only one winner in the game to find the crow prince, and everyone’s greedy to lay their filthy hands on him. especially gambling monsters and power-hungry demons who would do anything for the prize of revenge and control. (dark fantasy) 

crooked finches — this is were ellison wei would do anything to destroy the boy finnegan hearst keeps staring at. (romance + modern mystery + thriller)

that’s such such a cool explanation, reminds me a lot of dante’s inferno where he has to pass through the seven layers of hell (i think)

belloraina was my 2019 nano project about a kind ruler! the title itself is named after a revolutionary ruler in the story, bello meaning warrior, raina meaning queen! warrior queen! ex latin student here

sentientism was a project i was working on a few years ago that didn’t really go anywhere but i still love the idea! it was based on the concept: what if you are the only sentient being on earth, and every interaction you have isn’t real? what if no other person but you has a thinking mind and heart and feelings? what if they are just a computer, no matter how much they act like real humans with emotions and thoughts of their own? what if a species of alien came to you and proved that they were also sentient? what if they told you the world was going to end but they could get you away from it? how would you struggle with the grief for your loved ones, even knowing they feel nothing?

this didn’t go places because i don’t know how to write sci fi :)

tales of the mages of meadowbury is a wip of five different short stories that overlap and interact with each other! they’re all set in the same city, a city of culture and mages, and it follows five different people. i would love to complete this someday.

thanks so much!

I want to read that book so bad, but this is actually loosely based off of it!! So you’re not too far off, even if my knowledge of Inferno is a bit iffy.

ooh that’s a good play on the words then! And I love those kinds of psychological stories; that question sounds so interesting! But yeah, sci-fi is a v difficult genre so props to them :) and a story of mages in a city of magic 🤩 I’m here for it!
