#QueerPrompts the pain of realising you were loved the entire time
“Heh, I got into so much trouble for eavesdropping. But Professor Golan answered me anyway.” Balthor paused for a moment, because he didn’t fully understand their words back then, the two boys were still quite early into their friendship. Now, however, he thought he understood them perfectly. “They said they knew you were destined for far greater things than the academy. Professor Golan couldn’t bear to clip your wings in such a way, even out of love. Aleric,” Balthor paused, the words ‘you’re loved no matter what you measure up to’ was on the tip of his tongue, but it didn’t seem like the right time to say them. “They really care for you.” Aleric’s eyes were hot and his nose burned, his hands tightly clutching his shirt to keep himself grounded. Not that it helped much, Balthor’s words leaving him feeling unmoored. His vision blurred until he could no longer see the stars overhead and he squeezed his eyes shut, a couple of tears escaping and burning shamefully down his cheeks. It hurt so much, too much. To be loved.

My favourite fantasy series hands down, both male MCs are canonically bi. If you like intrigue, magic, satisfying slowburn, I would highly recommend this series. 7 books and a 3 book prequel with a female MC (but not f/f unfortunately) I'll never pass up on recommending it

Daily drawing challenge day 4: the rose from ohshc

Not having an eraser means I just have to go for it no matter what, I fucked up the stem so you're not allowed to see that but-

It's kinda nice just having to accept whatever I draw and not get stuck on redrawing little things over and over

Daily drawing challenge day 3: I attempted a redraw of what I drew the last time I picked up a pencil which was about 6 years ago. New one on the left and old one on the right. My original attempt was so much better idk what I was on that day

There's no point saying I wanna do something without making any attempts to do it so! I'm challenging myself to try and draw one thing in my bedroom every day.

Day 1: my cat clock minus the clock part, I added a tail there instead. It's not awful I guess lmao

I've spent so long building Aleric's character with him being one of the more complex in my novel, now I just can't think of anyone or anything else.

I love him.

I'm not sure about a soft, airy presence 😅nor serenity I'm kinda chaotic. Fun tho I love random silly quizzes
Chiffon Delicate petals. Sunlit dewdrops. Floating dandelion seeds. Your soul is chiffon: a symbol of ethereal beauty and gentle grace. You move through life with a soft, airy presence, reminiscent of a delicate breeze that whispers secrets of faraway lands. Your spirit is tender and dreamy, evoking the sensation of floating on clouds, light and unburdened. In your presence, there’s a sense of serenity and gentle wonder, as if the world slows down to a peaceful, dreamlike pace. You embody a quiet, unassuming strength, Your approach to life is intuitive and imaginative, finding magic in the mundane and transforming the ordinary into something enchanting.

A little bit of what I wrote today, I really wanted to try and capture that quiet amazement you feel when you walk through ruins and abandoned places, your imagination filling in the gaps of what is no longer there to see.
Dark stone loomed ahead of them, crumbling old walls covered in vines and rotten wood creaking in the breeze. He heard Balthor rustling beside him and the soft light of a lantern soon followed, bathing the remains of a wooden gate in a gentle orange. It was suddenly as though nothing else existed in the world, even his companion faded into the background as he stepped over the gate and into an entirely new world. A hush fell around Aleric as he picked his way across what must have once been a lovely garden. Wildflowers bent beneath his feet and he stopped to peer down an old well. A rusted bucket lay atop a mountain of soil and Aleric sighed in disappointment, he’d hoped for something a little more interesting to see. He glanced to the side to see Balthor passing him, his focus entirely on the main building, and Aleric pushed away from the well to follow him. The front wall of the building was still partially intact, although the door had long since fallen from its hinges to settle and rot on the ground. Stepping through the doorway, Aleric wasn’t surprised to see it was a hollow shell of what it once was, what it once held. Standing in the middle of that broken down house, Aleric could almost envision the people who once lived there. On that wall, the remains of an alcove for a stove, where a family must have cooked countless meals, talked and laughed in cold winter nights. Over there may have been where they slept, he stood in the place their bed may have once laid and looked up at where the stars were starting to shine. Aleric wasn’t sure why he was feeling so melancholy over something he’d never actually experienced, nor did he know it actually happened, but somehow he felt it might be right.

Here's my darling daughter Il'vanna, give some love to the artist they did just the best ever job with her (I gotta get the others done eventually) and a few pretty landscapes (I tried to go semi-local because I live in such a pretty part of England)

A Devil's Touch

Another secret santa gift for a lovely friend, this is an AU I started over on twitter and spiralled out of control

Fic Title A Devil's Touch Summary He tried to ignore Yan Wushi’s widening grin and climbed up onto the carriage, sitting down as gracefully as anything. “A-Qiao…Are you ready for your next lesson?” Yan Wushi’s voice floated over to him and Shen Qiao jumped, looking over with wide eyes. Yan Wushi chuckled, the little god was more like a little deer caught in the lamplight. “Touch.”

Don't let me go, don't let me lose you

Another horror based fic, with a happy ending and then an optional bad ending

#ThousandAutumns #YanShen #QianQiu
Fic Title Don't let me go, don't let me lose you Summary “You remember what I said?” Shen Qiao nodded, beaming up at him as he recited the rules. “Hold papa’s hand near roads, don’t stray too far, don’t go up to houses without papa, or take candy without papa.” His little fingers popped up with each point and Qi Fengge was relieved he had such a smart son. “That’s right. Tonight will be fun as long as you stick to those rules.”

Just a perfect day

I enjoyed writing this, even though it didn't get much attention haha

#ThousandAutumns #YanShen #QianQiu
Fic Title Just a perfect day Summary The android used his heat sensors to check the coffee was at the best temperature and placed everything on a tray, heading upstairs right on time. He knocked gently to announce his presence before walking into the bedroom. "Good morning father." Shen Qiao placed the tray on the side table with a smile and stepped up to the window to open the curtains, letting the early morning light filter in. Another perfect day.
