Mustang/Mark. 29. He/him. Bri'ish. Disabled/Chronically ill. Currently in BloodyMary hell. Creator of 'Hail, True Body', a horror fiction series. Banner by me. Tag for my BloodyMary fic 'On Wanting To Live And Other Choices' is #owtlaoc
'Hail, True Body' is a religious horror series that focuses on what it means to be human in a world that God has abandoned. For Mark Owens, 1993 is shaping up to be the worst year of his young life - and that's saying a lot all things considered. When his best friend Cesar Hernández calls him one night in October, Mark ignores the broadcast warnings to help him out. But Cesar is acting... strange.
Though perhaps that's understandable. His mother did just die, after all.
Or: An eldritch beast tries a little too hard to be human. It goes about as well as you'd expect.

Reviews from readers:
"really good. only almost threw up like 4 times. also a vaguely deer shaped creature gets bested by a well aimed stick so 10/10" @b0nkcreat
"this story broke me into pieces and then crushed them into a fine snortable powder for the devil to enjoy. 10/10 would read again. like bottling every feeling at a funeral and making it physical. god I love these little sillies so goober core heart emoji. i am forever changed. the person i was before is dead and buried in an open casket... darcy is cute btw" @corvidaeconundrum
"Unironically, this story made me feel emotions I forgot existed. 10/10, would recommend!" @kade-is-here
“This story made me wanna explode out of both happiness because of how great the writing is, but also out of sadness because of how depressing it gets. 11/10, would erase my memory just to read it for the first time again.” @kyliebirdie
"Reading HTB makes you appreciate the good things in life. You need some positivity to counterbalance all the angst that was just shoved into your soul. Live your life to its fullest because some of the characters didn't live long enough or lived good enough." @didasgomas
"10/10; I have gone through emotions unknown to both man and shrimp, have wanted to bash my head against the table too many times to count due to said emotions, and have placed the author on a hitlist. highly recommend. also screw the deer" @itsjustaturt
"hail true body has been the first story to make me unlock shrimp emotions. 10/10 would read eldrich beings accidentally getting humanity again" @cookierye
"amazing story makes me feel like i need to vomit <3. i hope the Deer gets eaten by bugs and that Mimic!Cesar gets to live out his greatest dream and eat concrete at some point. it's so well written and feels like a swarm of insects. 10/10 would eat if it was edible." @stormco0l

'On Wanting To Live And Other Choices' - Chapter 9 (bloodymary)
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
"Like he didn’t try and hurt you first, That smaller, pettier part of himself sneered unhelpfully.
The ghost of a palm against his windpipe, thumb and fingers following the curve. Not hard enough to hurt, barely any pressure at all - no restrictions on his breathing - but the unspoken threat had been there, had forced him to back off, instinct taking over. Curie hadn’t pushed any further but he didn’t have to, his touch light and yet as deep and wounding as a brand, leaving an ache beneath the skin that reared its head whenever Grace stopped thinking long enough to remember that it even happened. The fear on Curie’s face turning lax, softening out, no longer snarling snapping teeth behind the muzzle of a non-rebreather but confused, hesitant. Letting Grace step away and out of his hold that was more of a touch, the pad of his thumb rasping against the vulnerable join between neck and jaw.
He didn’t try to hurt me. If anything, he tried his best not to."

Or: Simon, temporarily, gets a new name. Grace is bad at naming things.
Incredible that we've made it 40k words into my bloodymary fic and Grace and Simon still don't know each others names. That must be some kind of record lmao

The reason why I love Ryland Grace so much as a character is because I had a highschool chemistry teacher who was just like him. Coolest guy in the world, extremely passionate about science, unhinged in the best possible way. I would've been sad if he'd been forcefully sent to space too frfr
online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something

Shout out to Grace for being so normal and staring at an unconscious man for an hour, completely unable to touch him because physical connection freaks him out. He's doing so well, you guys. He's the most normal person ever.
