1869- a failed engagement sent odelia back into her position as the self appointed head of household. she doesn’t enjoy living in the past, but as an old friend returns to town to help lia’s brother become a doctor, the past and the present get all mixed up. #questpit #HF #WIP

happy day 4!! i once mentioned to my fiancé that i was working on “my siblings story” and he asked, “isn’t that all of them?” (and i seem to also find just the right time to write each story and put my own struggles onto the characters in their own mixed-up ways, especially in parts of PIRATES!)

When Taleen offers to help her in exchange for a favor, Jonna would be stupid to refuse. Too late, she finds out she's helping a pirate seek revenge- and too late, she finds out she may have more in common with pirates than she thought. #questpit #OS #YA #LF

1. Be born tranſexual Anno 1645 2. Don 1000 yards of ribbon 3. ??? 4. Manhood In the case that further detail be required, pray consult: THE DUEL IN 1660, a swashbuckling farce #W #YA(?) #LGBT #histfic for #QuestPit

Infamous portrait of Duke Maximilian Philipp of Bavaria by Sebastiano Bombelli, 1666, in an elaborate golden Baroque frame. This mustachioed nobleman has very long curly brown hair (possibly a periwig), an open doublet with dozens of tiny silver buttons, massive petticoat breeches, voluminous sleeves and lacy cannons, and a truly terrifying quantity of blue and pink ribbon hanging from every part of his body. He wears shoes with high red heels.

17th century handwriting over the image reads:
This is the ideal male body.
You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

It was the morning of the third day in a universe without her cavalier: it was the morning of the third day—and all the back of her brain could say, in exquisite agonies of amazement, was: She is dead. I will never see her again.

THE THING ABOUT PIRATES (i’ll give you the sun x practical rules for cursed witches) 💕bi FMC ❤️siblings being siblings 🌴pirate seeking revenge x girl helping her out 🌈sapphic rivals to lovers #YouDeservepIt #ya #wip (editing!) #adventure

a moodboard for my work, THE THING ANOUT PIRATES. photos include a woman standing on a beach cliff, the ocean, a woman with brown hair, someone seemingly drowning, a person with lots of black curly hair, two people hugging- one with pale skin and one with bronze skin and long curly hair, a pirate ship seen through a porthole, stairs leading to a beach, and children’s shadows on a staircase.

two blocks of text are on the image, one with lyrics from gold rush by taylor swift reading, “eyes like sinking ships on/waters so inviting/i almost jump in” and the other a sample from the work reading, “whether i realized it or not, i had been trying to drown myself for years.”

The Pitch!
It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions.
When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings… How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

•CURRENTLY EDITING!• THE THING ABOUT PIRATES a girl trying to get away from her father. a pirate seeking her father’s revenge. forming an unlikely allyship, forced together on the run from someone desperately trying to capture them both. #ya #currentlywriting #writersofbluesky

a moodboard for “the thing about pirates” featuring siblings sitting on a bed together; cursive script reading “my mind turns your life into folklore” from taylor swift’s song gold rush; a girl with a brown braid over one shoulder; a girl with bronze skin looking though a cloud of dark curls; an androgynous person with grey eyes.

an excerpt from the story is in the middle:

She held the dagger at the side of my neck, pressing it against my hair and skin. Her arm pressed my shoulders harder, as if my hands trying to pull it down didn’t exist. “If you don’t stop acting like an idiot,” she hissed, “I’ll make sure you’re never able to talk again.”
