About My WIPs
So at the moment, I’m only focusing on two main big ones - To Be Damned and the second one No One Mourns The Wicked.
To Be Damned is a Vampire/Vampire Hunter paranormal urban fantasy wip where a Vampire Hunter is hunting to avenge her fallen wife, when she returns home and finds things falling apart there. She has to pull herself together to get to the bottom of things. But there are truths even she doesn’t know.
No One Mourns The Wicked is actually an old WIP I have of mine used to be called Terraclaw, that I’ve moved from being high fantasy to an urban fantasy Vampire paranormal wip where a Vampire Hunter is hunting his lost love and her family, only to discover something is off about the whole village and yet he can’t figure out what it is exactly. The village seems protective of the Vampire family…. especially when he’s there to ruin everyone’s day.
Big Thank You to everyone who supports me, who sees and reblogs this and so on and on. My inbox is always open for asks and so are my DMs. Come say hi! I don’t bite.
My brain keeps telling me to, in all their amazing glory make the “business tycoon” Addison Griffin ( the partner of Ignacy) into like a Tony-Stark level of weapons dealer but only dealing in things that can kill a supernatural being
I said I was going to bed but my wip has a chokehold on me, so I made a few notes xD
SCREW CENSORSHIP!
"I do have a cause, though-- my cause is obscenity. I'm for it."

Inbox is open for wip asks, oc asks ect
So you know how people have uploaded all of the gameplay of mystery matters? Including all of Tony’s stuff?

To Be Damned should really be called “How To Solve A Problem Like Claudia” and I’m not even joking at this point.
If anyone is wondering what’s wrong with tumblr, there are practically no human stuff on tumblr. They got replaced with AI. So expect more and more issues
Can I just say something honestly and very seriously to all you writers?
With the Internet going down the "nothing adult, no death, no nothing. Make it kid friendly" route,
Please don't ever stop making art or writing wips that are gruesome, horror, other things like that. Don't let the Internet sanitize how you wanna tell a story. Channel your rage into your art and keep going and don't give up
