#tkw

maaf ya... aku terus menerus memaksamu untuk kuat, terus menerus mengajakmu untuk berlelah-lelah, aku tahu kamu sudah sangat lelah

Namun, kamu masih muda... semangat ya... cari bekal untuk masa depanmu, untuk anakmu, untuk mewujudkan harapan harapan kecilmu...

kamu kuat kok, dua tahun itu tidak lama...

kamu pasti bisa...

Saat kamu ingin menyerah, Ingatlah.... bagaimana kamu selalu mengunci pintu dan mengajak anakku bermain hanya didalam rumah, karena takut ada pedagang yang lewat sedangkan kamu rak memegang uang sepeserpun...

Ingat juga, bagaimana kamu selalu kehujanan dan kepanasan saat mencuci piring karena diluar rumah dan belum punya dapur

ingat juga, bagaimana masa kecilmu banyak buku di Bazar sekolah yang ingin kamu miliki namun tak satupun yang bisa kamu beli

Ingat juga, lisan-lisan manusia yang selalu merendahkanmu karena kemiskinan kamu

Dan ingat pula... orang-orang baik disekitarmu yang selalu memberi sesuatu yang amat sangat berarti bagimu, yang selalu membantu meringankan urusanmu..

kamu boleh berdo'a agar Allah melimpah kan rezeki yang banyak dan berkah, kamu boleh minta ingin jadi orang yang kaya supaya mudah untuk bersedekah, supaya mudah membantu orang, juga supaya ibadahmu lebih dipermudah...

Semangatlah wahai diri...

THE KNIGHT WARS - REINTRODUCTION FOR NANOWRIMO

This NaNo I will start properly writing TKW after it has been brewing for a long time in my head! During October I'll do Preptober and try to figure out more worldbuilding and some plot elements.

Ainur, formerly an assassin, now a private detective, has been long done with the criminal underworld. So when the widow of a high ranking Knights of Selvan member asks her to look into the murder of her husband, she refuses at first. When she hears though that it might have something to do with her master's, Tiuto's, murder some years ago, she has no choice but to return to that world. The mystery goes much deeper than she would have guessed, involving cults, magic and the government.

There will be | so many queer assassins | grumpy adult accidentally adopting an angry child | sentient library | secret society fantasy mafias | lady knight | lovecraftian god whose eyes are in place of stars | found family | fucked up alchemy | magic as an art form

BASIC INFO

Octo-ber Day 1: Twisted

I’ve decided to go with traditional ink drawings (ink -> octopus). My goal is to work on environments (again) as much as possible and connect the prompt to any of my stories. I’m trying to go back to writing farocm, so I’ll try to connect them into whenever I can.

Nymphs in the world of The Knight Wars are personifications of natural things. Their souls are bound to a natural thing, for example a tree. This tree is different however. It is the only tree left from an ancient forest full of nymphs. The nymph whose tree it is, managed to save some of her siblings by transferring their souls into her tree via the roots, when the rest of the forest was cut down. It had the effect of making the tree more alive.

Below the cut is the prompt list!

As promised, I finally brought home my Flash drive with 12 GBS! of pictures from June till about a week ago.  These are just some of my favorite pictures I’ve managed to get of these incredibly beautiful animals on some of my favorite trips.  I’ll probably post most of these photos solo with their story, cause lord knows I have some pretty great stories! 

“I don’t understand why you’re so frightened! Just do what you did last time!”

“Last time? Zita, last time I ran.”
