MY METHOD ACTOR A closeted Oscar nominated actor attempts his most daring performance yet: to act as his dead (and homophobic) best friend amidst the people that knew him well... #BluePit📖 #BluePit #W #A #POC

A series of images containing male models looking forlorn with a blue (first row) green (mid-right) and red (bottom row). A poem is written in the middle that reads: "Nothing's a gift, it's all on loan. / I'm drowning in debts up to my ears. / I'll have to pay for myself / with my self / give up my life for my life." This poem is by Wislawa Szymborska, from “Nothing’s a Gift”.

OUR WIVES UNDER THE SEA x MARTYR! Want to draw your mother? Get her out the pond first. Keep her in the pond. Make use of your superpowers. Figure out your artistry - all of this in more or less this order, and before the crazy town you live in can harm her. #questpit #W #A #F #S

Nymph‘s Pond, an upmarket fantasy at 80k

The pitch
Damla needs a personal element for her art project. Her lifeline is her mother who not only refuses, but disappears to a local pond. It turns out she‘s a nymph and claims that pond is hers. The pond owner disagrees with her. The town disagrees with her general existence.
Caught between her mother’s mercurial moods, townspeople that egg her house, and the desire to figure out her own burgeoning sexuality and artistry, Damla’s own powers become and more unpredictable, threatening to erase her identity altogether...

Vibes and comps:
🧜 an artist's coming of age
🧜 complex mother-daughter r/s
🧜 a hostile small town
🧜 a queer & female cast
🧜 battles w/ self-esteem
🧜 water powers reflecting emotions & past trauma

Snippet:
There she was. Out of the surface of the water her mother rose. A totally naked, stick-thin Derya Degirmenci stood in front of them all. Her skin looked as if she was made of algae and moving bruises, her hair was an ochre color, her green eyes darker than Damla had ever seen it, round and big to boot. She had no nose, and her skin shimmered in a way that it would on a fish’s scale. She did not at all look like the nymph paintings by John William Waterhouse. Her mother didn’t look like a human at all. She looked, instead, like she belonged to the sea, was a deep-sea creature best left untouched that had now been brought back on land to everybody’s chagrin. Here on land to haunt everybody it came across.
But that was Hollywood, and this was real, and she was pissing Damla off.

NYMPH‘S POND AN 80K UPMARKET FANTASY NOVEL

THE PITCH: Damla needs the perfect portrait for art school. Her muse? Her mother, a nymph who refuses to leave the local pond. When its owner wants to dry it and the town grows violent, Damla must risk her dream to save her mom.

COMPS:
* Julia Armfield - Our Wives Under The Sea
* Adrienne Young - The Unmaking of June Farrow
* Kelly Link - The Book of Love

Snippet:
Damla stretched out her hand. She put her palm up, and a drop fell in a dull thud. Thud, thud, thud, thick drops of water crashed against her palm. It was soft to the touch, not as cold as she thought it would be. Just like her mother, who had let the drops speak for her. Whose silence was her sharpest weapon. Whose anger was ice.
Was this her mother?
