WIP Wednesday ✍️

I finally finished draft 3 of chapter 8!! 🙌 I'm trying REAL hard to congratulate myself for it and savor the win because next... next is the first Kazimier POV 💋 chapter of 🌐7 Circles🌐: Ch9, Tea Time. Here's a clip of it for yall.

After letting Kazimier out in the morning, Klaus took them both out into the world and its bright, sparkling nonsense. That’s basically what came outta demon’s mouths when they had the poor taste to open them- Bright. Sparklin’. Nonsense. And Klaus is fuckin’ fluent. He had every first class dame and half of the brutes cooing congratulations over him turnin’ a century old and getting saddled with slave number one.

And oh boy, was Kazimier a favorite topic in these conversations. Just like that Demyen guy at that pompous shindig, they’d ask Klaus ‘What his first act of reformation will be’ along with what’s next- what the ‘final product’ of Kazimier would look like. And damn Klaus, he didn’t give any of them (including Kazimier) a damn thing to work with.

I AM excited to show Kazimier off! It's just going to take some extra time to finish this chapter bc there's some summarizing from Kazimier's POV, and I have to carefully balance letting Kazimier's voice in but not so much that the prose feels like it belongs to a different book than the rest 💀 Also rn it's at almost 7k words and I think it needs streamlining..

I loved this visual so much I had to reblog it.

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively

Today i'm thinking about mold, like emotionally. The feeling of moldiness vs feeling nourished and refreshed.

If you've struggled with depression & have worked at allieving it (✋️), you might relate to how unfair it is that many of the things you DO NOT WANT to do while depressed alleviate the depression. 🔀

Depression wants me to isolate, but reaching out and connecting to someone helps. 🫂 Depression doesn't want me to leave bed much less the house, but standing barefoot in my front yard for five minutes eases something in me 🌾☀️. Depression wants me to forsake myself, but damn if everything isn't easier after a long shower and a meal.🧼🍜

It almost feels like depression is a parasitic mold man that doesn't want to be eliminated and has the ability to plant strong 'don't wanna' messages into your gourd 🚫. If you stay alone and miserable the mold can really settle into your body and grow- it even tries convincing you the depresso mold is a dangerous substance like real mold is and that if you go for help you'll just hurt people.

Its so hard to not listen to my scummy little mold man! SO HARD (😏). And he has gremlin powers where if you feed the mold after midnight (or whatever 'past bedtime' is) he gets incredibly worse.

So im celebrating myself (he hates that) and listing some fuck-off-mold-guy activities I've done the past few days 💪

☀️ I made myself a beautiful ratatouille and a plum cookie cobbler

☀️ I asked my partner for back rubs

☀️ I sat in a patch of grass by the road and found a swirly rock

☀️ Watched a goose 🪿

☀️ Opened some windows and curtains and vacuumed

☀️ Redyed my hair (still green lmao 💚)

☀️ Had two friends over to share a meal and bark at Paul Hollywood

☀️ Complimented and flirted with my partner until they blushed and squeaked

☀️ Listened to Carbon Leaf in a hammock with a drink in my hand

☀️ Did paperwork I didnt want to do and then loudly congradulated myself for completing it

Like, I still hate the trend of "Oh you're depressed? You should just __". The use of 'just' is so diminishing, its so dismissive of how hard it is and how individual the depression is. Sure, I have a list of things I did lately that helped me, but im not 'cured', and I know as winter comes itll get harder and Ill need my therapist even more. It can be true at the same time that I've found some things that help me through, make the mold recede, and are worth congradulating myself over. 😊

I hope you all find some nourishment and refreshment as well ✨️

Fanart Friday~ 🎨

Happy Friday everyone!! It's been an especially long week for me and I'm so excited to gay it up and contribute a Friday Kiss 😘 for once!

Here's the incubois Kazimier and Klaus from my story 🌐7 Circles🌐 making out~

This sexy sketch was drawn by Furozoa on discord and holy fuck if the steam on this couldn't power a train engine 🥵 I love that expression on Klaus, and that he's accuratly drawn as the more broad of the two men. Ugh, and their necks 😫💦so good. It's an older version of Kazimier, hence the single triangle marking, the vibes are still immaculate tho 🤌🔥

WIP Wednesday ✍️

I'm finally making headway in draft 3 of chapter 8 😩🙌 it feels weird that so many of my WIP Wednesday posts have been on this single chapter but oh well, we ball.

He hops to his feet. "Here's how this is going to work. I'm gonna clean up, and you're going to ignore me. Don't look at me, don't talk to me. You're gonna act like you can't see me at all. If Greed's PA asks about me, say somethin' bland and boring. Say I'm sufficient or somethin'. Got it?" Seeker straightens, two hands smoothing out their dress. "Yes. I believe I can do that." Ignoring was a great margin easier than pretending to deny and demean another being, certainly, and while it was still awful, they would take this as a lesson as well. The Kalilith had a lot to learn about the surface world and it's.. Systems, for Valian’s sake as well as their own.
