A Writeblr Introduction

Writeblr (re)introduction - I’ve moved blogs!!

Hello! I’m Z, and I was previously found at @zwritesstuff. This is going to be kind of a messy blog, but I’m hoping to reblog a lot of advice posts and maybe post some of my own (I’ve already made one on characters and one on the first draft) as I find inspiration/a need for them. But you’ll also find a bunch of writing memes on here as well, because writing is hard and we all need a laugh sometimes

Some things about me:

23 years old

being bullied by several mental illnesses (so i’m distant sometimes)

can’t stop coming up with new wips (seriously i have 4 original wips rn and like 12 fanfics)

i really love world building and establishing characters but i struggle a lot with plot and actually. writing

the reason i remade my blog is because i wanted to separate this content from my main blog so that i can get on more tag lists 

i am absolutely going to be on the lookout for new wips to follow, so please feel free to let me know what wips you have going on right now and i’ll check them out!!

please reblog and say hi in the tags so that I can start following people !!

WHAT THEY CALL GOD.

Cain sighs heavily, the cigarette held loosely between his fingers as he rests his forehead against my bare chest. “God, Dima,” he murmurs, his voice thick with self-loathing. “I fucking hate myself.” 

“Good,” I mumble, fumbling with the bottle of vodka. The bed is soft under me as I lift it up to my lips and take a long draught. My other arm goes around his shoulders and presses him to me. “You should. You’re a fucking asshole, Cain. You’re unlovable. No one loves you, and no one ever will. You’re lucky that I let you love me.” 

“I care for no man on earth, and no man on earth cares for me,” Cain quotes, almost dreamily, as he presses a kiss to my chest.

“Christ, I fucking hate you.”

— The Pinnacle of Art; a wip intro

[a wip by @ambrosichor​  | wip tag | other writings]

general

genre: dark academia

pov: first-person; vincent northwood

status: first draft; ongoing outlining bc i don’t know how to plan

concepts: good ol’ murder, aestheticism, classicism?, elitism?, homoeroticism? all the -isms?, love irregular polygon, unrequited love, pining, yearning, longing, discussions of art and philosophy, the meaning of life, ‘luxury’ crimes, life imitates art

inspiration: the secret history, the talented mr. ripley, the story of notorious art thief stéphane breitwieser (which you should read bc it was delightful and eye-opening)

the cast

i. vincent northwood - our narrator; the outsider

“I tell this story not because I want to but because I have to — to honour he who died at my hands”

our sad and brooding, incredibly insecure and lonely, narrator. heartbroken and abandoned, fresh from a breakup with his highschool sweetheart, vincent runs away from home in a quest for independence and ‘soul-searching’, in an effort to forget his first love and perhaps find a new one? life comes to a surprising turn when he finds teary eyed alexander in the middle of an empty art gallery.

ii. alexander donadieu - the leading man; inspired by stéphane breitwieser + dickie greenleaf

“the pleasure of having is stronger than the fear of stealing”

the everso suave and debonair alexander donadieu. easily bored by life and people as shown by his short attention span and selective nature. it’s a wonder how he manages to stay friends with nate and delia even afer all these years. although, he never fails to be the centre of attention while being adored by many. always intellectually starved and seeking a thrill in his life — will jump at any opportunity to wreak havoc.

iii. nathanael laurent - the right-hand man; hopelessly in love

“i just want to be loved delia.”

a part of the laurent family, nathanael is well known on campus for his old money connections. studies law and doesn’t mind it though he wishes to study the arts. at least he’s making his father proud, right? alexander’s right-hand man and best friend — will do anything for him, makes alex’s idiotic ideas into reality. is madly in love with alex but represses his feelings as he cares too much for him and cordelia. just wants the freedom to have his own desires.

iv. cordelia waldorf - alex’s girlfriend; hates the reputation

“but you’re his…” / “i’m not anyone’s”

is the only reason this group hasn’t fallen apart. alex’s girlfriend of an odd number of years. loves alex and nate with all her heart but desperately wishes for a female friend in her life. too understanding for her own good, a quality which alex constantly exploits. often lonely due to alex’s flighty nature. eager to meet and make people feel welcome — is glad to have met vincent. trying to separate herself from the reputation of ‘alexander donadieu’s girlfriend’. trying to carve her own path.

Flash Fiction Friday: Alien Sunsets

@flashfictionfridayofficial​ When there was something that made the job worthwhile then it were these moments: Standing on the mountain top of a new planet and watching the sun set over it. These alien sunsets were the most magical thing to every planet pioneer. Sometimes they were rose with a hue of purple when the sun set. Another time there was green, blue and white as the last rays of light. The classic sunsets with orange, pink and yellow weren’t that common as most people in the colonies thought. A lot of pioneers got bored by these sunsets soon and yearn to find those with the most colorful appearance. There are rumors about a sunset only in different purple hues the old pioneers tell the recruits. The purple sunsets became the holy grail of the planet pioneer squads. Everyone wanted to find them. People outside the planet pioneer squads thought it is just some kind of game among them but the truth about it was horrible. Standing on top of a mountain on a new planet and watching the sunset in its unusual colors let the pioneers feel a little peace and stay sane during these weeks and months on inhabitable stones that flew through the universe while they terra-formed them. Flying stones that got turned into colonies by the pioneers and got drenched in the blood of those who lose their lives during it, so the colonists had a comfortable place to make their home. In the end, the alien sunsets where the only medicine for the pioneers’ woe.
