#eocena

KISSING you on the lips everyone else take notes /j

lets talk abt the book im working on. hi. follow @eocena for aesthetic photos and sad poetry im making to be abt my characters. anyways! "adventures in eocena" is a book in baby stages about a kid who wakes up in a town with no memories and his quest to rediscover who he used to be. he starts calling himself finch, makes some friends, then travels the whimsical land of eocena trying to find himself!

finch is like. just some sad little guy. like there is something wrong with him. you could pour soup in their lap and theyd apologize to u. probably fell in the lake on their way here. some kinda kitten caught in the storm drain. hes buried under layers of anxiety that he spends the story trying to shed. has a cool looking locket that he cant get open

finch stumbles into a cafe and meets the charming artist/sculptor/barista/cat(?)person laika, his first new friend! laika has paws and some skinny little tail that they like to tie ribbons on. their mom runs this cafe so they work there and their art is all over the walls and its like rlly good actually. almost psychedelic or something. pretty vivid ! but regardless they let finch stay with them bc although hes trying to be hush hush abt the fact that he has no memories hes still obviously falling apart at the seams like he is NOT doing great. so he stays w them n works at the cafe for a while and laika is their new chatty, excitable, eccentric bestie :-)

jezero, the third and final character ill talk about, is a druid. this means that hes basically a beetleperson who talks to trees which is the most watered down way i could explain it but if i start we're gonna be here all night. so hes basically on a rite of passage traveling the land so he can be a fully fledged druid and laika n finch see this mysterious cool dude and r like. ok. how r we supposed to NOT follow him. so they do! and its awesome. jezero is like.......... my favorite even tho theyre all my favorite. his fav color is green. he likes plants n stuff way too much. hes got itty bitty horns on his head. he nerds out abt everything hes into (which is everything basically) and then gets embarrassed. i love him so much

i like writing mainly fantasy! current wips under the cut!

fucking. FINCH! AND LAIKA AND JEZERO

they’re the mfs for a new project im working on :D!!!! they mean so much to me ahhhh i love them

finch has none of his memories. he woke up one day in a little town, decided he was named finch, and started on an adventure to find themself. they’re nervous n flighty but overall rlly sweet

laika!!!! is fuzzy :] and a baker n artist!! they’re the designated struggling artist/bard of the group and they’re very excitable n confident. i Love them

jezero is a beetle man >:] he’s got beetle wings n is this really strict but kind druid! druidry in the world they’re in is a closed, complicated practice that worships and tends to forests and nature. he’s such a fun character to play around with just bc of his relationship with nature and with his friends :]

SO SORRY THIS TOOK FOREVER TO ANSWER HI

eocena comes from the term eocene which is an epoch!!! the name means 'new dawn'. idk if u listen to cosmos sheldrake but when i started out his song pliocene was my biggest inspiration.

i cant rlly describe eocena better than the two first paragraphs of ch1:

"Where the grass grows tall like beetle’s legs, where the raspberry leaves feel love like you and I, where the dawn breaks thin and is worshipped thick, that is EOCENA. The land is old as time herself, some inhabitants even older. The outside world remains unaware of her beauty, seeing EOCENA as merely a myth or nonexistent, but those inside sing its praises like birds in early spring.

EOCENA is in a constant state of happening. Things trudge pass, birds flutter above, and flowers bloom brightly as the sun rises and sets throughout each day. Currently it is morning, not as early as the usual residents of the small town Halcyon wake, but the lunch napkins have yet to be laid out, and the sun is still climbing to her peak. The town lays bustling, a small corner of the Tycujian Forests thriving between spruce trees. It bursts with color like opal in summer’s sun, and someone has just woken up behind a flowering bush at the village’s end."

at its core eocena is a story abt finding yourself and getting release from trauma. i dont want to go too into detail bc i dont want to spoil but finch, the main character, cant remember anything-- even his own name. his main goal is to figure out who he was before he woke up in halcyon.
