Am here again 😂 very you coded account ^^
this is so gorgeous, i'll give them a follow! off topic: that kind of flick bloodspatter is inaccurate for anything but injuries/deaths resulted from high-velocity impacts, e.g.: vehicles! any other injuries are... rather 'drippy.'
hon, kinda random but do you have a favorite painting in specific? (i'm doing research)
for traditional/non-digital art, the only thing i can think of is van gogh's almond blossoms (1890), though i realize through some google searching for your question that i don't think i have a favorite painting (or, at least-- if it ever existed outside some vague memories, i can't find it)! i've always been into impressionism, but that's fallen to the wayside lately. for digital art, i like this, this one cw: gore, and art like this.
thanks for the fun question🍂🖤
honeyyy have you read the book of the lamb? i had to sit in silence for five minutes after i finished it 🐑
i, like some dork, tried googling this and then got super confused when it wasn't a published book. BUT OKAY! BoTL by primarchkryik! i actually skimmed the first few paragraphs when it came out, was delighted with the entire concept of it and the prose, promised myself i'd finish it when i had the time and/or mental energy to engage with fics in general and then.... forgot 😦 so: thank you so much for reminding me that it exists! i'll be sure to actually read it this time and probably leave a little review underneath this post :)
i'm not vminrisings, but if you liked badlands, you'd like these songs from her other albums too: Lilith, The Lighthouse :)
love love love lilith! it's been on repeat the last few days :) thank you for the reccs!
another tash sultana fan here my favorite of hers is jungle… love her voice so much
that was the first one i listened to~ the guitar in the beginning reminds me of black magic woman by santana, so i fuck with it heavy!
Following up on your music recs request, I've been obsessed with Tash Sultana lately. I'm currently listening to their James Dean, but Salvation and Murder to the Mind are another 2 fave tracks. While writing lately I've also enjoyed Ms Mr, The Amazing Devil, King Princess, DPR Ian, Massive Attack, Nothing But Thieves, Blu DeTiger, Portishead, Archive, Steven Wilson, Philadelphia, The Wailin' Jenny's, The California Honeydrops, and Uh Huh Her (tho they all have completely different vibes).
just clicked on tash sultana and their music goes HARD....... hello new obsession! (making a playlist for the rest of these! it's gonna be such a mix of vibes but i'm so excited TT i love discovering new music you're amazing!!!!!!!!!)
lonely is the muse by Halsey :)
are you secretly vminrisings? (i think that song was interesting! i really like badlands album-- i think it's all the reverb, esp in drive and haunting, that scratches an itch!)

adding this to the new vamp fic moodboard 🫡 ('yeah? and? coward' is perfectly my sense of humor, i love this, thank you!)
You've got this my love 💜

Hello!! Different anon here but I saw you mention character study in the context of detail of the woods...that term always goes over my head...can you please explain in baby language what exactly is a character study---I'd be grateful--- thanks!!
it's a deep dive on jeongguk's traits/personality/development--specifically through the lens of how he interacts with his editor and people he doesn't know--and how they all revolve around writing/his job of being an author :)
hii i wanna read detail of the woods! i have a few questions! is it like scary? is romance just a tiny tiny part of it? is it scary alll throughout? im planning to read it afterfinishing my current read! i wanna try reading something new and it feels like this is perfect for it! just asked a few questions so i know what to like .. expect?? kindaa? thank uu!!! <33
i would be so thankful if you did, but there's no pressure! as the person who wrote it, and consumes horror media on the regular, i didn't think it was scary. but comments let me know that it was unnerving, or it kept them up.
to answer your questions a little more thoroughly: detail of the woods is a very character/emotion driven type of fic. the first ~20k is actually a character study on jeongguk and how writing, and the things that come along with it, defines him as a person. the last ~30k is a sort of... quick burn (i would say slightly obsessive in hindsight) between him and taehyung. there's really only three scary parts, but they don't define the entire story. i guess i would say it's more "unnerving" than "real horror," but that could just be me speaking from my very biased point of view.
if you do give it a try, i hope you enjoy it! i think that fic is the most "me" fic that i have ever written or will ever write, so i always have to recommend it to people who want to get a taste of what i'm all about 💚
