Madcap: So you’re saying he’s a... poltergeist?

Me:

Madcap:

🌿 Describe your favorite outfit. Skinny jeans, black tank top, blue flannel button up (it gets so much mileage), high top sneakers, tattoo choker, maybe a necklace? And at least 2-3 hair elastics on one wrist, because I don't have a whole lot of bracelets.

🌸 Best compliment you ever received? URGHHH admittedly that's a lot of compliments to remember........ I remember hiring a woman a while back and this was during the time I was running HR and the entire Guest Service/Checkout area at work while grabbing carts, and she looks at me in wonder and says "you're a real Renaissance Woman!"

and I'm like... *looks at my name badge, which says "Renae"* ... *looks up at her* ... hell yeah......

🖍 Post Any sentence from your WIP:

From Shadows Keep on Changing, our Heartshipping ghost hunter fic (thank you for giving me permission to post more than one sentence ❤️):

There was little comfort Ryou could provide with words and touch alone. Perhaps the warm and desperately beating heart of bravery within him would be better suited for that.

🛠 Is there a scene or anything in the WIP you are struggling with right now?:

*narrows eyes* I’m just overthinking this scene in Carvings (where Mahad is figuring out what to do with this newly awakened mage) because we RPed it out twice and addressed things that need addressing but we both agreed to break all that exposition up between chapters. I’m just being really lazy and not editing the rest of the chapter;;;; orz

ohoho! some victorian gothic asks, i see!

💀 - oh woe! you’ve been cursed with an immortal soul! you’ll be alive, young, and attractive forever...a tragedy! as everyone else ages and dies around you, how will you pass the time?

AHA! well, gather in close, as i have a well kept secret i must share with you: i’ve been preparing for this since my days as a child. i always felt deep within my bosom that i was meant to be a wan, sanguine creature of darkness, cursed with immortality and ennui, and as such, i’ve trained from a young age in the arts of reading every goddamn book i can get my hands on. i’m gonna read. it’s gonna be like that episode of the twilight zone where the guy breaks his glasses, only i’ll probably have a lenscrafters i can go to if need be. gonna read EVERYTHING.

🗡- while you were falsely imprisoned, your former friend and now rival has married the love of your life and stolen your fortune. not only that, but he’s also taken your house, your dog, and your firstborn child as his own. worst of all, he’s completely redecorated in a very tacky way. what is your perfect plan for revenge?

It starts with small children because it’s the first time they’ve actually had power over someone and they don’t know any better - if no one gets them to realize what the hell theyre doing it’ll just get worse as they get older

Like - objectively I know this. I’ve been a victim of bullying myself since I was a small kid, so I know how early it starts, and also logically, where it might stem from.

The very concept of it is just so disgusting to me that I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. There are other ways to feel empowered.

Horror movie ask game!

I am ALWAYS answering horror asks ;P A L W A Y S

scream: what’s ur favorite movie?

Honestly??? It’s a pretty close tie between Hercules and Atlantis, which.......likely.......isn’t the response expected from me, pfffft. But I watched both a mILLION times as a kid, and to this day, both just fill me with that warm, fuzzy nostalgia feeling that can’t be beat. Plus, both are stylistically very lovely, and who can resist singing along with the Muses??? Not me, that’s for damn sure.

suspiria: what’s ur favorite book?

NooooOOOoOOOoOOOOOOOO I CAN’T!!!

Genuinely, I’m not sure I could pinpoint one book as being my favorite, but I will say that House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is the one that sticks out in my mind the MOST. It’s the most unique book I’ve ever read, absolutely, and 100% a HUGE influence in terms of how I (try to) write horror!

alice, sweet alice: what would u describe ur style as?

Fashion-wise? Bad! Lazy nerd baby who got a gift card to Hot Topic.

Writing-wise? ALSO BAD! Too many commas, doesn’t know how to use semi-colons, uses repetition for emphasis TOO MUCH!!!
