I was today year’s old when I discovered that there is, in fact, a delightful subgenre on spotify called “castlecore” and now you do, too.

I dunno, it just feels appropriate that LOTR soundtrack started playing on Spotify while I prepped these… #taters

💕 thank you for that reminder. sometimes, I get so deep into the editing mindset that the mistakes loom larger than they might actually be.

Dearest, darlingest WIP, you know I love you, but is there a reason why you refuse to be written except with pencil and paper… and only in the morning’s pitch-black darkness? I am literally losing sleep over you. (and pencils. so many pencils.) #writingwoes #wip #coffeetotherescue

I know there are many situations much more awkward than making eye contact with a stranger while both of you are mid-cavernous-bite, but right now I can’t think of a single one.

A collage mood board themed in black and gold pictures. The text Eleutheria is displayed across the collage. From clockwise the pictures are a man and woman being ripped apart, a woman with a finger to her lips, a sun and moon motif smeared in gold, a golden key on an open book, a hand holding a golden crown, a blurred woman holding a skull, a pale woman with a crown atop her head and gold smeared makeup, a gold dusted man's chest clutching a clawed hand, gold snakes among gold vines, a closeup of black leather dusted in gold

#queryingreflections 2024: “It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step out onto the road & if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you’ll be swept off to.” (I’m not yet where I hope to be, but I’m not where I was, & that is an exciting thought.)
