Welcome To The Cavern Of Chaos, The Arena Of Angst, The Field Of Fluff, The Dumping Ground Of Dreadful

Welcome to the cavern of chaos, the arena of angst, the field of fluff, the dumping ground of dreadful and delightful writing that I call home here on this site. I am your guide to my lovable characters and confusing lore, Eve, an incredibly dysfunctional human bean. Don't expect consistency, because there's no way my ADHD would allow it.

I am the main story I'm currently writing is titled A New Infection. Here is the intro! It features sort of zombies, three (3) main characters ranging in age from 9-16, who bond into a found family through shared experiences of trauma, angst, and love. No one central is straight, but even so, many side characters mentioned in canon and AUs are some flavour of gay.

Fortunately, my partner in crime, @pagesofcursive , or Briar, is also active on here. Her writing is incredible, and we have collaborated a lot, and you can find all of that at @eve-and-briar!!!

Here is a masterlist, containing links to our plethora of alternate universes, all the currently introduced characters and an easy(ish) way to navigate my (semi) organised page.

I wish you safe travels and happy reading

Eve

Freddie: He appreciates her down-to-earth nature and her practicality. Naturally, he thinks he's better than her, but that's consistent among all people at first. He's intimidated by her bravery and hardiness since he's lived a very sheltered life, but he would never admit that. Once he finally bonds with her, she'd be like a rock for him, someone to centre himself with, someone to protect him, someone who supports him. I just love The Perfect Family so much

Zach: He admires her strength - she always pushes herself to be better; even if at one point it was mostly for survival, she kept going, which is something he strives to do. Honestly, he'd love to spar with her, and learn more tricks on self-defense. Neither of them stand by and let bullying/harassing of those that can't defend themselves, which is something they can bond over. The only thing they don't have in common is their view of street authority since Zach wants to follow his father into some sort of law enforcement.

Bella: Since the main way she sees the world is through understanding, she struggles with Aster. They have completely different backgrounds, strengths, and ways of dealing with hardship. She does agree with her over opportunity - you need to work for something, to earn it, not just buy your way into prosperity. She's a little uneasy with Aster's confidence and slight aggressiveness - though they might agree on their view of some things, Bella would rather take a more passive route of judgment or action and would silently question the potentially more aggressive/defensive stance Aster would take.

day two: aster

this is aster! after her parents perished in a tragic accident, she grew up in various foster homes and a corrupt orphanage. she leaves that all behind as soon as possible and lives on the streets until boarding school. aster has fought for everything in her life and doesn’t like to depend on others. she hates when people are handed life on a silver platter, causing her to hate violetta at first. but, after a while, she realizes that violetta is trying, and they eventually form a friendship (and,, maybe something more)

nicknames: ast (mostly by juni), darling (by violetta), beautiful (by dawn)

power: fire

ethnicity: no record of who her parents were

birthday: october 28

sexuality: lesbian

I have the same issue with procrastination, don't worry.

And I will hype your stuff plenty! I love the concept of your universe, with weapons and magic and stuff. I struggle with motivation too, so I love to help where I can

I'd kinda like to see 17, 18 and 19 please!

I'm sorry this took me a whole day to answer! I promise I did not forget you and I super appreciate the ask, I just procrastinated a lot 😓 but I truly appreciate the interest, thank you!!!!

17. Do you think readers perceive your work - or you - differently to you? What do you think would surprise your readers about your writing or your motivation?

I mean… I assume? They have to, right? No one knows just from reading why or how or where an idea came from. I guess something that might surprise people is that I’ve been working on this story for four years and up until this point I’ve been pretty self-motivated (which as of late has been failing me haha) so being more active here is my way of getting myself hype to share and write this story again!

18. Do any of your stories have alternative versions?

YES, A TON. It took me FOREVER to figure out how I wanted the “underground war between Paladins and Knaves” (the main difference between them is ideology and methods of creating change) to work. For a while, they were each going to have strict almost government-like structures and there were going to be only four factions that you could be a part of. However, now, the Knaves have a more rigid structure, whereas the Paladins have a more fluid structure. And a faction is just a small group of paragon that work (and usually live) together and there are thousands of them. It’s changed in a lot of other ways but I don’t wanna ramble too much haha.

19. Is there something you always find yourself repeating in your writing?

Ok, so on a large scale, I use the found family trope in every thing I’ve ever written and that is not changing anytime soon. On a more micro level (like sentence structure or descriptions and such) I think my default is to describe that a character is smiling. Sometimes it’s like a sad or weak smile, sometimes it’s a genuinely happy one, but at some point in all of my WIPs someone is smiling lmao.

Fun Meta Asks for Writers

The One, the only, Dark Lord himself!

The first picrew is how he is around friends and when he doesn't have to do the whole "Dark Lord" act. His actual name is Heshiktow, but only Rukard knows it.

~backstory~

He was raised by a couple of spirit speaker healers - they knew stuff about magic, even had a magical artifact, which is incredibly rare. It was used to sustain Heshiktow's life, as he almost died at a young age. Took care of anyone they could, opened a monster &beast rehabilitation shelter... Little Ice age rolls around, things get difficult, people need a scapegoat. Something something torches, something something pitchforks, and Heshiktow winds up alone at the bright and ripe age of fourteen with a few monsters in tow.

He meets Rukard, they bond, try to save a kingdom, fail, and decide that they were just thinking too small and the best course of action is to take over the world (like sane people do).

Fear seemed to be a pretty casualty-free way of staying in control, do the Dark Lord legend is born.

Nicknames: Dark Lord ( everyone, more of an alias), Heshi ( Rukard, Mourisha)

Age: 21

Sexuality: bisexual
