susanne. i like books and video games. mostly i post about writing stuff, things i find pretty, and the occasional fandom things. sometimes i am that cottage core bitch. you should probably tell me to go write.
Hi there! Iโm Susanne (she/her), 30+.
I work in a library and enjoy being outside, single player video games, and also putting my silly little thoughts on paper, so to speak.
Iโve been writing in some form or other since I was a kid, although Iโve never shared much of my original writing online. A lot of fanfic stuff, though. You can still find it if you know where to look. I want to share my original stories as well at some point in the future. No publishing aspirations as this is all for fun.
Iโm mainly an enjoyer of fantasy and romance, with a dash of queerness on top. But Iโm interested in pretty much anything. Iโm one hell of a sucker for friends to lovers as well as a good heaping of building yourself a home where you least expect it. Me and YA have a ... complicated relationship.
So, if you wanna be friends or just want a new follower, please interact with this post! Iโll be sure to check out your blog! Iโm always open to asks and tag games, as well as just talking, so please donโt be shy. Iโm not the best at interacting first, but Iโm happy to jump in!
My blog is a bit of a mix of everything but all tagged for your blacklisting pleasure. For writing stuff, you can look out for #writing, #writing inspo, and the project tags for my own stuff.
Find some of my writings and wips under the cut:
- Worthy of a King -
A low fantasy romance featuring a prince who is more responsible than people give him credit for, the captain of his knights, whose main job is overindulging said prince and a whole heap of yearning. Stay for jousting, discussions on the future of a kingdom, suppressed jealousy and probably too much mead.

- Shadow of a Queen -
A marriage of convenience that might be falling apart, a kingdom that definitely is, and a woman who feels like she canโt stop the storm thatโs coming. Book 2 in the Queenโs Guard series is about Perild, who has to decide whether her new role matters more than her old loyalties. And it features the shadowy spymaster who will remain her asset, whether she wants them to be or not.

- Shanghaied in Portsmouth -
A silly little pirate comedy following the adventures of a hapless warehouse worker forcibly turned sailor, the ship cook that seduced him under false pretenses, and the lovable crew of a vaguely okay pirate ship.

- Project Purple -
A cozy mystery set in a fictional lakeside town hidden in strange glowing fog. Thereโs witches, ghosts, an immortal cat, a house with a mind of its own, and old friendships that bloom anew. Also supernatural murder. But that partโs not as important.

- Project Runaways -
Neonlit streets, seedy bars, shadowy corporations and and learning that you canโt stop someone else from loving you, even if you donโt love yourself. This has been my baby for ... way too long. Itโs also currently iced because it doesnโt work on a fundamental level. Following a thief with no moral compass, the few people he actually likes, and the voice in his head.

- Project Lighthouse -
A lighthouse stands at the edge of the world, or at least the lighthouse keeperโs world. Thereโs nothing but the cliffs and the sea. Loneliness is repentance. Until he finds a woman on the shore after a storm, naked and barely alive. Featuring mystical creatures, some good old Victorian aesthetics, and my deep and abiding love for the baltic sea.

Reading Weavers, Scribes and Kings at the same time as a long-form analysis of ASOIF really reemphasizing and cementing my contempt for fantasy world building that goes 'and then this specific dynasty ruled this specific kingdom in essential socio-economic stasis for [longer than the entire span of human history]'.
Like, cmon. Shave some zeros off the timeline. Please.
Making this post has motivated me to go back and work out a rough timeline for the 700-year-old empire in the fantasy setting I tinker with, which now has 4 dynasties, a 50-year 'time of troubles', a couple generations where it was basically a theocracy, and a 90-year 'regency' held by someone who was never proven in court to be a devil.
If your fantasy empire doesn't include a bloody-handed coup followed by a fifteen-year interregnum with like four guys all claiming to be the murdered heir within living memory, it's back to the drawing board.
BTW, the belief that you have to leave where you are and go somewhere in order to connect with nature is part of the problem. You can literally connect with nature anywhere; yes, even in an urban environment. You have birds, bugs, plants, weather, seasons, etc. A lot of people need to stop thinking of nature as something out there and start recognizing that it's something that's already right here.
The Murderbot Diaries are a power fantasy about being aromantic and still developing extremely important dedicated emotionally intimate partnerships where you are a top priority in a person's life, equal to their other family or romantic attachments despite your own emotional difficulties. And having guns in your arms

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno
Reading a book that's so good that you want to read it and read it and read it but at the same time you don't want to read it because then you'll finish it and it'll be over. These are moments that are worth living for.
