welcome to my little corner! ⟢ for updates, ideas and further commentary on my writing projects. DM's and asks open!

I ❤︎ old men. My work is usually pretty story heavy, I enjoy having some kind of literary theme to think on, as well as having some kind of twist, whether that be in character traits, location or relationships, that I can focus on. I cannot just write smut, unfortunately.

Held Dear - Din Djarin x Catgirl!Reader, (Complete) Through the Tides - Joel Miller x Reader, (Maine AU) Your Blood, My Salvation - Vampire!Arthur Morgan x Reader

hiatused/not in progress: Blood and Belonging - Dark!Din Djarin x Catgirl!Reader Constricted - Sebastian Sallow x Reader

AO3 is my main platform. I do try and post on wattpad too but sometimes forget. Held Dear also has a Tumblr version, HERE. ₍^. .^₎⟆

I am a student; English and creative writing major and minor respectively, which is kinda obvious given my love of classic lit and stories. That being said I am probably writing to procrastinate on my work. I write my x readers from a young woman’s perspective because that’s what I am. Yes most of it is taboo or whatever idc.

I believe I start classes on the 24th, so I'm not too worried.

I doubt anyone's looking too close, but it's one of those things I need accurate or ill die. It's in Clemens Point but the timeline is so jumbled in my mind.

I'm about 1.5k into the first chapter of a Arthur x reader fic, and I really forgot how much I love to think deeply about this story.

Not only is the story beautiful and heartbreaking, but it sticks with you. There is so, so much depth and analysis to be done that the story is not just the 50 odd hours you spend completing it.

What sticks out the most to me is all the biblical themes, both in your face and subtle.

I don't know of another story, so mainstream, in recent western history that uses Christianity this much, or this beautifully and positively. Unless you are in some literature class, it's easy to forget how prevalent the bible is to narratives. Especially when Christianity in other spaces, ie. online and in certain loud practices is automatically seen as a negative due to its misuse or individuals disrespect on both sides.

There's a book, "How to Read Literature Like a Professor," By Thomas Foster that really hammers in the point that all stories copy and respond to others, namely Shakespeare and the Bible, which are so deeply embedded into cultural memory and story that they are unavoidable.

In the game everyone is a parallel to someone else, everyone's name can be traced back to a prophet, missions and dialogue reference scripture and myth. They hint at the themes and foreshadow.

You cannot fully analyze and understand the characters and metaphors of rdr2 without having or learning some knowledge of the bible or the church alongside it, just as it is easier to be a good English student with this knowledge.

Once you see it, you cannot go through the game without thinking about it. Without going "oh wow someone thought about this really hard." And I just love that.

Anyway, this all stemmed from me wanting to write about vampire Arthur, which obviously calls upon me to get deep into religion as a parallel. Deep in the game too, which is even more religion.

OH. Also I changed my username. Hopefully I don’t confuse anyone. Previously was lode-st0ne everywhere.

I have been able to write little slideshows I’ve been posting on TikTok the past two days, so that’s at least something.

The first one I made kinda blew up, which was unexpected. The people of tt are much more demanding than on ao3 lol.

GOOD GOD

I haven’t seen the movie yet because I sail the seven seas and need to see my man in HD and no less but TRUST I will be insufferable once I do!
