18. She/Her. Filipino. consistently intp. virgo. tired university student. My love for learning history stems from my mom making me watch period dramas with her and constantly having me explain timeline of events (i’m far from a history buff though). I mostly write fantasy stories and I love worldbuilding. I am very into villainess manhuas and I will absolutely talk your ears off if you ask me about them.

One of my dreams is to have one of my wips printed with a dedication to my bff about how I did manage to finish this story before I was 90.

When Comes the Dawn |  Fenice vi Aetier, a ‘soulless’ princess and the estranged daughter of the emperor, ignites a dangerous successsion game between her and her half-brother, where losing means death and winning means an empire. But when the remnants of her father’s war rears its head, Fenice must ensure her victory — or else lose far more than just her head.

genre; na, high fantasy, court intrigue  

The Stars do not Bind Us |  Six, thirteen years old and born as the prophesized her, embarks on a quest where her victory is as assured as her death. Accompanying her is a strange man in the woods and the five voices inside her head.

genre; fantasy/adventure novella

hey, what's up!! I'm andie, 18. Ive just moved my writeblr, which I've had since 2019, onto a new account so that it could finally be my main blog. I'm bi and nonbinary, use they/them pronouns, and mostly hang out on the wtw discord bc I have terrible anxiety about most things.

When a young man gets trapped in a place he once thought to be little more than fantasy, he's forced to confront his past while fighting for his life.

aka, creepy haunted woods try to kill man whilst also forcing him to face past trauma.

QING JIEXI, the High Empress of the kingdom of Fuxin. A talented young ruler, she loves her sister more than anything else in the world. Her ascension to the throne was by no means something she had asked for, but she has done her best to be worthy of the role.

[ author notes: she is very worthy. someone take her away from me and give her a nice long holiday on a beach far away. ]

If someone were to ask Hadriel why he dislikes Prince Sionri so much, Hadriel would not be able to explain it. Not for lack of reasons, though. There are many reasons why Hadriel might dislike Sionri.

Everything about Sionri is misaligned. He’s all jagged lines, obtuse angles, obfuscation and obstruction. His words are that of a perfect gentleman, and yet all of Valeros knows about the whoring, gambling drunkard Caerr Mara calls its future king. He acts as though the whole world loves him, but plays the fool at every turn. The simple truth of it is that Sionri is everything Hadriel was raised not to be.

The problem is that those aren’t the reasons. Sure, the man is a scoundrel, a wastrel, and an all-around waste of breath, but Hadriel has known many people like that, and Sionri is not like them. Everything is a game to Sionri— he thinks that despite all his faults, despite the fact that nobody else is playing his thrice-cursed games, he’ll be the last one laughing in the end.

Hadriel dislikes Sionri because he gets the distinct sense that Sionri is right. How, exactly, do you explain that?
