Valens continues to mutter to himself, about Llewellyn presumably—how she tricked & stole from him, something about a tower… Alden shifts closer to Hawthorn, a swish from his tail opening the salt circle. He snorts, tilts his head towards two doors on the far side of the house…

@Sleepy_Chaotic @DanielC55186873 once you pop you can't stop~

@DanielC55186873 What about just the tasty words 🥺

#Ink staining her teeth black. Three days eating The Book. Desperate to taste between lines. Hay, saffron, bruised lilies, hot glass. Notebook blankwhite as saints. But the stain—swelling, itching. Nettle word that wouldn't come. Is this, too, prayer? —It is. #vss365 #fragment

polls are still weird, so please VOTE on the poll, but also COMMENT your choice~ thank you for reading 💖

Walking by the river, Ezra spots an #unmoored punt bumping against the bank. Once painted green and gold, flaking away now, black slime at the waterline. Approaching carefully, Ezra spots the name “DATURA” carved into the bow. Pulling back a canvas cover, they find: #vss365

She had a garden #inked out on her skin—though on closer inspection, every flower & berry was poisonous, & there were venomous creatures hidden the flora, ready to bite. When she got angry, the vines & snakes seemed to move—but surely that was just a trick of the light. #vss365

You wake up in a diner, a coffee cup in front of you. It rattles when you pick it up. It rattles because of the #teeth. There’s less blood than you’d expect. The waitress, holding a coffeepot, ignores you. Your own teeth are intact. Somehow, this isn’t reassuring. #MorbidMarch

poll is live! #vss365 crowd, please consider my interactive story~ today: looks like even madmen💀 get sad sometimes… **polls still broken, plz comment your answer after voting! thnx~ *cross-posted where the Sky is Blue (same username/pinned post) plz comment over there :)

@kattra Yes. I feel like I’m some kind of phantasm 🤦🏻‍♀️

Test. Because I can’t post or interact in anyway, since yesterday evening. Grr.

“final girl writing” is brought to you by the villainess trope, & an unwanted inheritance. subscribe & comment: write about an unwelcome (describe the place & the people). xo, Katherine open.substack.com/pub/finalgirlw…

You storm out of the classroom, & spot the new girl—or rather, the protagonist. Lady Adeline Rosewood. Pretty & eloquent, & currently hanging on the #arm of the second prince. Your fiancé. Don’t be a villainess, you remind yourself, seeing red. The villainess always dies. #vss365

The box contained a mummified #hand, holding a candle. “The Hand of Glory,” her great-aunt’s will explained. “Light the candle & all locks will open, your passage unnoticed. Continue my work as the Phantom Thief…” Easier said than done—seriously, whose hand was this?? #vss365

you know the drill, fam :D please vote on the poll, but also comment your choice, as polls continue to be whack~ thank you for reading 💖
