Δάιος: A Call Me Icarus Novel by Andromeda Ruins

The Elysians are here to protect us. They uphold order, they keep citizens safe… unless you are their kid. When you are the child of an Elysian you get to see what they are truly like. You get to see their fears, their anger, their hatred. You get to be subjected to their wants and whims. Most importantly, you get to be trained by the ‘best of the best’ to become an Elysian yourself. At least that’s what we were told. We weren’t told what that training would cost us. What it would do to our bodies and our minds. How it would make us into what the Elysians really are, mindless abominations.

These monsters are in every corner of our society. They are heralded as Gods among men, but not for long. I am doing everything in my power to show who they really are behind their masks. Soon, everyone will see these nasty creatures for what they are…

Δάιος is a tragedy following Icarus as he takes a look behind the curtain of the Elysian Program and sees the disgusting framework that he was disillusioned to. Now the only thing on his mind is bringing down the program and the entire ATLAS corporation. Will he be able to when the world seems set against him?

Playing around with the idea of making like. A slideshow or google doc of the routes in my AU that can simulate the feeling of playing the game. Like, you can chose something and it gives you a link to another doc? Idk. It would be a bit of an investment but I am sooo ill about them rn I think I could do it.

Really feeling like Icarus rn.

Honestly, I’d probably fly into the sun just to see Apollo too….

Even if for only a moment before the world crashes and burns before me…..

At least then, I’d fall with the memories of his face….

At least then, I’d die with the sun shining on me one final time…..

Mod opinion: I haven't heard of this book before, but it sounds like it could be interesting.

You sit there starry eyed gripping my thighs whispering words that ignite my body like a spark to a flame just waiting to consume me whole. your hands touch my chin pulling my heads upwards so that my eyes can meet yours. you want me to see the love; I’m sorry what you call love in your eyes, but it looks more like lust to me. but the longer I stare the closer you pull me in and the more I see your brand of love and I think even if it’s lust, for tonight I can pretend. pretend it’s love, pretend we’re in love. I transform into Icarus, flying too close to the sun and I let it burn and consume me whole because I rather pretend it’s love than acknowledge it for what it is and be left alone.

Too close

Oh Icarus,the son of deadalus,

with wings of wax,he took to the sky

The thrill of freedom, he could not resist

so he flew higher and higher

But the sun,it melted his wings

And Icarus,he fell from the sky

Into the ocean,his fate it did bring

and there he drowned, with a mournful sigh

Camp NaNo 2023

So... I have made the decision to join camp nano this year.

I wasn't originally planning on doing this on account of being burnt out and having to work and stuff but! Things have changed!

I'm still burnt out. I still have to work. However, I am more motivated than ever to get CMI done. Well, technically it's already done, I'm just completely re-writing it to make it align more with what I envision it to be now

So! Camp NaNo! My goal this month is 36k words. ~30k is finishing Call Me Icarus, the other 6k is writing two (2) horror short stories to submit to an anthology centering ASD and horror

So yeah! I guess y'all should be on the lookout for some more writing content from me here! In the meantime, enjoy this moodboard I made:

Heed no warning from Icarus

He was my warning

I saw his doom from

The very beginning

And I knew someday

I would fall just the same

He was my warning

I’ve failed to heed

Never changing my course

Flying too close to the sun

He was my warning

But even when my

Wings are singed and black

I convince myself that

I’m strong enough to fly higher

He was my warning

When I followed his path

Time and time again

But never looking back

At my failed flights because

He was my warning

That I could only blindly follow

Flying just as close every time

Knowing the sun will claim me

Just the same as him and me before

Because there is nothing that appeals more

Then flying too close to the sun and

Thinking I’m too special to fall

I burn.

So, you know that post that's like "in another life you and I would be doing taxes at the kitchen table"? Yeah, well, there's no life/universe/reality where Anna and I end up together/fine. She and I aren't over, but it is what it is. Also Rue killed herself, and Anna got a boyfriend, and I fucked my ex. Yeah. Alot happened.
