I'm here, queer, and highly likely to disappear*; but here's a very unreliable introduction to this narrator.
Hi, I'm Saturn (for now at least, i think.)
I'm a black 20-something year old writer with a imagination that happens to be active at the wrong times. When I'm not writing, you'll find me struggling through classes and holding my cats in air jail for chewing on my clothes. and you probably thought a college dorm dryer was bad...
I often use music as a progression for my writing, using it to build the personality and lifes of my characters, cause I think you can tell a lot about a person with the type of music they listen to. This goes the same for food, whether they're cooking (or lack thereof), eating (which there'll a lot of and not just food), just for the sake of storytelling. Cause food can tell a story too!
You'll also see the use of Sims4 in these posts, there's nothing better to me than to be able to build my world from the ground up even if it is tedious. I often burnout myself out between both writing and building so its nice to be able to switch between the two! here's a small character visual as a start!
it's also nice to watch my characters evolve real time, they tend to outgrow some things faster than i can keep up.
As a current researching and scrappy practitioner, you will see hints of practical magic(k)/workings/information in my works. Influences from traditionally african american practices will be underlying themes in this world of mine; within my scope of course. How my characters navigate through a world that is both mundane and spiritual is something they'll have to overcome in all aspects; and how they affect future lives and timelines is all hanging on the fading tradition of storytelling.
follow, share, and embrace their stories; because there's only one way to keep them alive.
as for what i write or rather my niche: the unreliable multiverse
topics/tropes: religious deconstruction, religious trauma, witchcraft (mundane, practical, scrappy, cultural, A(A)TRs.) anti-racism/racism,politics, social structure,found family, star-crossed lovers, childhood friends to lovers, ancestral/familial secrets, morally-grey protagonists,coming of age, the anti-christ, HEA, small town horror, mental illness/disorders, philosophy.
for some these topics may be a lot, and while i want my writing to be a source of escapism...fiction will always be influenced by reality, and that is something that will be in my writing (just not to the extremes), expect CW and TWs but they will not always be there.
CURRENT WIPs: the big three
Where The River Bends:
Bored of modern romance and her own life, Elaine Brown suffers from being a daydreaming, skeptical, hopeless romantic. In a plead to the Universe to grace her with a new addition to her routine, she finds herself stumbling into spell unlike her very own. Warren Soo has be dreaming of a life where days can feel like a breath of fresh air.

Together, they navigate the modern world of romance with just the sprinkle of magic.

Aletheia:
Sanctum, place of human design created to preserve those who survived the last of nature's destruction. When humanity was suddenly reckoned with the damage of over creation they are forced to pick between two things.
Stay or leave.
For those that had the ability to leave, Sanctum embraced them with open arms; promising a generational haven within their walls. Here, the people are communities; removed from the worries of past plagues and mortal insecurities. But all peace must follow order.
Questioning the world she's grown in , Emilia Porter has wanted to escape the stone boundary of Sanctum. Taking a chance to explore the land beyond, she registers for the Vanguard; the exploration and task forces that protect and serve the lasting stand of humanity.
Now away from the containing hands of those who seek perfection, she must weigh the truths; both tailored and unwritten.

Cherries Under The Sun:
A southern gothic horror that follows Grace Davis even in her dreams. Stuck in a constant cycle of despair, Grace often finds herself living in a loop of a forgotton past, wondering about the should've, would've, and could haves of her life. When her small college town of Marietta is shaken by a rise in missing cases, her hollow world soon becomes a flash of white papers and bloody lines. Now that her daily life of being ignored comes to halt and the lives of those around her are blurring together, they must now find a way to get their world back to normal. Before it is erased altogether.

Simone tossed and rolled under the blue sheets of the bedding, a deep ache settling into her bones after a night of restless sleeping. It’d been 6 weeks into the semester and just over two months in this rickety old house. She was never one to sleep well in new space, but something about the home was unnerving. Unsettling. Like it had its own conscious and hated having new energy inside ruining its antiquity.
From its walls distressed with years of negligence and its creaky floorboards, there was always something wrong with it. The faucet had a continuous drip that even the town plumber couldn’t solve. And the washing machine always seemed to have an issue with getting her clothes clean no matter which detergent she used.
And the neighbors just a fence over didn’t help with their under manicured lawn and peeking broken blinds. Whether it was wafting burn of cigarettes or unadulterated yelling through the walls in all hours of the light, the anxiety of living in this small town away from home never ceased.
Simone sighed into the creaking night, shutting her eyes in hope for the slow lolling wave of sleep to take her. One breath. Two breaths. And three until she found a quick sense of peace to begin the morning. With only a few short hours before her alarm went off, she contemplated if it was really even worth forcing the ever running thoughts in her mind to cease.
So she rose. Wearily and slightly aching from another night a restless sleep, her routine began.
happy spring! while i can't really say i've gotten myself out of a writing rut, i've definitely been writing more and enjoying it.
super short note today, but no taglist as well. just cause i've been MIA for a minute. so lets see how the algo does me.

new year, new me! or maybe not. either way, that doesn't just apply to me. while i had no intentions of disappearing, much like my intro post says..it happened. but in doing so i was able to kinda rehash and work on some projects that really needed it, like CUTS:
below, you'll see that the cream of the cherry crop has been given "make overs", as when I first made them I was just rushing to get them out and seen by people.
i'll come back and link most of the old posts of what they looked like before, or you can just click the tag associated with CUTS below. if you've chosen the latter, you'll some characters for other projects too. and at the moment, only CUTS and WTRB have been refreshed. but elaine and warren, along with sabryna and chris are the only ones ready for sheets.
anyways, keeping this short. Cherries Under the Sun will begin roll outs again this month, you'll see how the last months of year went for them ( and i hope to have at least 5 (total) chapters done by february) cause while this is set in the year 20whatever, i kinda want real time seasons to read along with so yeah.
for Where the River Bends, i hope to put her out around valentines day if i've being honest, or at least get the ball rolling. she's 10 chapters deep and just needs some reworking before the read along begins.
with that being said, happy new year and i hope this year allows everyone to explore things not previously possible.
she cleanses, she seasons, and she makes snails wish they never scooted their behind onto it...its everyone's favorite crystal...SALT!
While known in the world of the mundane as just an element of seasoning, for those of mystical or metaphysical nature salt is one of the most common and essential ingredients to otherworldly workings.
Whether it’s thrown on or behind you and even sprinkled in baths, this clear crystal is a path clearer, a purifier, and ward all in one. As it can be paired with any accepting herb or floral, the options are endless for the path you wish to use it for.
You wish to ward off evil spirits or even just nasty people, mixing in a handful of peppercorns will do just fine as it’s laid around the foundation of your home.
Eager to invite an equal exchange kinda love-platonic, self or romantic, bathing with rose buds and perhaps a little vanilla will ease it your way.
There’s no real harm in overdoing with this crystal…unless you’re cooking of course.
