#writeblr love

There's too many people to list, but I love any, and all of y'all!! I love y'all forever until the end of time, even!!! 💙

Since I’ve been neglecting your replies, and they’re all in the tags, meaning they won’t show up when I reblog, I decided to put all my replies in one post to avoid spamming you!  

Replies (and links to relevant posts) under the cut!

Alllright, lovelies! Depression is Kicking My Butt™ right now (hence why I haven’t been very active) so IT’S TIME TO TOSS RANDOM POSITIVITY AT PEOPLE HOORAY

Below are some absolutely brilliant writeblrs who have recently been some MASSIVE inspirations of mine! Not to mention their content is just... *chef’s kiss* the BEST.

@livvywrites - Larissa’s Crown has just had me CAPTIVATED. I’m in love with Livvy’s deep world lore and the AMAZING worldbuilding behind each of the separate races, and just... space opera! FULL of fun shenanigans! MY FAVE. And then!! The templates you made are so lovely and informative, and the universe you’ve created is so immersive, and... gosh, I just LOVE your writing and creativity so much.

@ardawyn - BEAUTIFUL edits, GORGEOUS imagery, AMAZING characters, and all in all a writing style that invokes a lovely medieval feeling to the whole thing? Seriously, Sophie’s word choice and description blows my mind! The pictures in my mind that her writing paints is! So vivid, so REAL, I can feel that cold wind or sand or hillside, I FEEL SO SMALL when imagining those mountains, I’m in awe at the colours, and the shapes, and the majesty of it all! And she conveys character dynamics so powerfully, sometimes with only a few words she can have you knowing just how far two characters would go to protect each other. <3 

@surroundedbypearls - Yeah I may or may not be deeply invested in To Catch The Sea a tad too much. Adam is?? So helplessly in love??? He’s like a love-sick puppy and yet he’s SO lost on what to do!! The pining is KILLING ME! I can’t stop reading!! And he’s just such a lovable bean and they both are so cute AHHHH. AND THEN THE WORLDBUILDING. I’ve only seen hints of the setting’s lore, but what I HAVE seen is so so intriguing!! Tattoos and trials, Dragons and Chimeras! SO SO COOL.

@holotones - I haven’t had the chance to interact with Haeji very much but from afar, let me tell you, THEY MUST HAVE MADE A DEAL WITH A DEMON, ‘CAUSE THEIR WORK IS SPECTACULAR. Characters chock-full of lovably snarky and stubborn personality? Check. Outrageously glorious worldbuilding that just draws you right in? CHECK. AMAZINGLY unique and incredibly well executed story concepts? YEAH, GO HECKIN’ CHECK OUT HAEJI’S WORK.

@vespatrix - I’ve been lurking a lot lately just ‘cause I’m lacking a lot of motivation to interact, but just... Verveine’s edits blow me away each time. The colour balance, the images and textures, the wonderful frames and font choice! Ahhhh, I fall in love more with their story every time. And that’s not even mentioning the creativity and the REAL feeling to all of their story’s lore! The magic, the power, the beautiful, mythological feel! The characters’ individuality, the clear personality! INSPIRATIONAL.

@harehearts - A+++ art, I love that Waya’s characters are all so immediately identifiable--even without necessarily knowing what they look like in wolf form, I can make some pretty darn great guesses based on expression and build alone--seriously though, Benji’s lanky legs are just. My favourite. Benji is my favourite in general. Please leave Benji alone at least ONE of these days???? Plez???? AND THEN THERE’S THE WORLDBUILDING. I love the amount of research Waya has put into their work? It’s so obvious how much they love their stories and characters, and that love is simply contagious.

I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU!, YEAH, YOU... well, maybe not you, maybe your friend or someone you follow or who knows. Basically, I want to follow more blogs, and I'm interested in following them if they do some of the things I'll list here (not all, of course; one is enough). So please, if you're one say hi or let me know in some way or another, if you know a blog please tag them, and if you don't you can help me (and others, I guess) by reblogging this. (I'll check anyone who interacts anyways). Thanks!

So, I'm interesed in following you if you:

1) ... are latino/a/e or hispanic

I particulary refer to people who lives in Latin America because I'm interesed in stories that take place here... but if you are latino and live in other country, but write about our/your culture, that's fine too. I also want to discover other hispanics writers.

If you don't know the difference (it seems like a common problem), when I say latinos, I include countries that don't speak spanish (such as Brazil), and when I say hispanic I include countries that aren't part of America (like Spain or Equatorial Guinea). 

2) ... are bilingual or polyglot (like, you have an English blog but write in other language)

I'm not just interested in latinos or hispanics, but just generally people of other countries that write about their country, culture, etc.

3)  ... write short fiction (like short stories and novellas)

Short fiction need more love. I also want to know about the experience and learn from other short story writers, because they're their own creature, and isn't as common to find tips about them.

4) ... write magical realism

I guess you are not suprised by this...

5) ... write low fantasy and/or soft magic

I'm in a point in my life where just a touch of magic is awesome. But if your story is in another world but the magic is all crazy  and weird (think Howl's Moving Castle), I'm in.

6) ... write dark fantasy or gothic fiction

Fantasy that flirts with horror is a 10/10. And when I say gothic I mean it in a loose, modern way, in the same way I think Over The Garden Wall is a gothic story.

7) ... write character driven fantasy

Self-explanatory, I guess.

8)  ... write adult fiction

Hey!! This message made me so happy, thank you <3<3 I’ve also been very inactive like a month now :D This semester and final season haven been stressful even though I really don’t have that many courses. Also I’ve written barely anything :D When this week is over I’ll also finally do the catching up!!

I’m probably most proud of this painting of Ilmatar, though it still needs a couple of small tweaks.

Three paragraphs?  Damn ok.

So why Castor May is amazing?  We all know the answers as well as we know how to breathe, why we must eat, and how to blink (sorry to remind you) without thinking about it.  But I think what gets us the most about Castor, what’s so confusing and baffling about how amazing she is, is that it all comes from a sense of empathy and love for others that’s extremely lacking in what we see of modern day society.  Here’s the deal: social media especially paints a shitty world with nothing good in it.  And then Castor rolls up.  She cares about everyone and has time to talk to you individually, advice and compliments and genuine love.  You don’t expect it.  It’s so raw and real you may not even know what to do with it, but she gives it to you without asking for anything in return.

She also creates incredible stories.  Faultless is one of my favorite wips I’ve seen on this website and the content that Castor offers up is constantly fascinating and high quality.  Every chapter is exciting as fuck and makes me want to write individual reviews for the paragraphs within.  Where Kiera Lies looks just as exciting and is entirely different from Faultless, proving that ya girl can write more than one genre without batting an eye and like, who is she?  How?  I don’t know many I stick to my personal ‘what the fuck’ genre like a troll under a bridge.
