This Book Is A Masterpiece, And So Is The Art Woah

this book is a masterpiece, and so is the art woah

The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea by Axie Oh was such a delightful little fantasy story, lush with magic and Korean mythology 💙

Highly recommend this if you’re looking for some immaculate vibes ✨

ooh, I should definitely check out the books first then. thanks for letting me know about One of Us Is Lying! i'm so bad with thriller haha. I should read them during the day, but then I always choose to read at like 3 am (like why).

of course I did! I love your sense of humor already!

(current) synopsis of my wip

---

I've written many characters facing treacherous challenges, and now the trials of my life have begun.

I'm Anusha, and if you think your life is messy, you couldn't begin to imagine mine.

It started off normally enough – a recurring nightmare; class bullies; a miserably failed kidnapping; a picnic I didn't want to go to; generally just hating my life.

But then I somehow got magically transported to the picnic bus by my class teacher, who alongside an unknown woman tried to kill me and my sister Rochelle. I got rescued by an Oreo-loving stranger everyone but me seemed to know, and got sent to a magic empire to fully fledge into what I apparently am – a semidivine organism, offspring of some celestiality. But before I could even understand what was happening, I got picked, balled up and thrown into a mission no one really cared about.

Apparently, the earth never got over its Hindu mythology.

I only pray history doesn't repeat itself.

ahhh !! honestly i don't care i'm so proud of myself because I haven't worked on this wip in like 2 weeks and I wrote SOMETHING, even if it was a "in the moment" thing

literally wrote a cute fluffy rain date scene and then jumped ahead to write this emotional one and now my feelings are all over the place

also like hyeri is so bad with feelings and words ?? i feel so bad that she can't express herself the way everyone else around her can, her pride is too big and she's scared of ruining every and any dynamic my heart )):

My biggest nightmare is my Grandpa giving up.  I researched it once. They said that cancer is so painful, that being treated like a baby again is so degrading, that they can’t deal with it.  But I can’t have him give up. I can’t have him disappear from my life. He’s fought all this time—what’s one more day? That’s what I think, but at the same time, I know how selfish it is to ask him that. I could never ask him to do that, to suffer an extra day, when he can have peace.  I’ve imagined the scenario at least a million times in my head. And I still don’t know what I’d say if he asked me—quietly, in Korean—no.  It’s stupid, really, having thoughts like these. But I’m spiraling. I can’t stop spiraling. I’m spiraling. 

destination seoul updates / snippets

feel free to interact with this post through discussions + reblogs + likes, and thanks for stopping by <3 oop almost forgot inspiration taken from the genius @talesofsorrowandofruin !!

yes, I swear I'll make a proper, detailed wip intro soon! this is more for my immediate gratification and seeing myself spiraling lmao, reactions to look back on.

wip general notes (to be updated):

A fake dating ya romance set in Seoul, Korea where a teen tries to escape the blind dates her chaotic family sets her up on for her aunt's wedding.

One of the few members in her family unable to connect with Korean culture-starting from grasping the language to understanding the mannerisms-the only reason Hyeri Kang comes every summer is to visit her beloved grandfather... who has cancer. This year, though, is more chaotic than ever. Caught up in blind date shenanigans to her aunt's wedding, she employs Taeyoung Kim, who is as infuriating as he is straightforward, as her fake boyfriend to escape awful men who propose to her on the spot. Surely it wouldn't be hard to not fall in love with someone who's connected to a culture she's been resistant towards...

I WANT TO GET BACK TO THIS DRAFT BUT I GOT ACADEMICS

brain's so blank I don't even know what to think

It’s complicated.

You’d think I’d be more excited, coming to Korea over summer break. But this is a mandatory family meeting in the guise of a meeting. Trying not to topple over while dragging the luggage bag from the taxi’s trunk, I glance up at the 11-story apartment. It’s quiet. No hands sticking out through the nets, no voice shrieking our names.

I don’t know whether to be worried or relieved. 

LMAOOOO

no but I love pjo inspired novels, literally i bet there's so many now even published bc that's what the publishing industry does pffftt i mean the quest/journey trope is basically it i think (but they all have their own authentic voices, so we love)

BUT YEAH SO EXCITED ???

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO THEO

not even joking though, I definitely got the chills right now reading this- it's like he can't even fight back because the real him isn't conscious but is, and he's aware of what he's becoming

last line tag

thanks for tagging me @splashinkling

i am fairly proud of this, of the feel of it, although it needs quite a bit of editing if you ask me

As they did all of their awful things, he could only clench his fists tightly, feel the coolness of the ring on his skin, fighting what they were trying to do to him. But it was worthless. It was worthless to fight it any longer and his free will, his free mind was now far away from whatever they had made. That was moving his body, while the actual Theo watched through a haze. But that wasn’t the actual Theo either, was it? The actual Theo was even farther back, asleep or trapped, maybe both, but he wouldn’t get a chance to get out if even this memoryless, but with his own thoughts, Theo was trapped.
