[ettawritesnstudies]

Merry Christmas, Chandra!!

My @writeblrsecretsanta​ buddy was @andiwriteunderthemoon​ so I tried my hand at drawing Kriya in a rare calm moment doing some stitchcraft with a cozy blanket! I couldn’t figure out how to draw sunlight, so I hope this gets the ~magical~ feeling of it across! I hope you have a wonderful holiday and happy writing :)

I can actually USE THE NEW WRITING SKILLS I developed in an OLDER PROJECT THAT MANIFESTED BEFORE I HAD THE SKILLS. This took a long time to happen properly. what the fuck

#wip: kriya petri #<- istg it is ACTUALLY coming together #i was about to spend the night on it but my hand hurts so no #but holy shit i figured out how to do exposition FOR THIS PARTICULAR STORY #this story required a HIGHER LEVEL OF SKILL and i have ACTUALLY DEVELOPED THAT SKILL IT'S SO HYPE #it's 2 am bye

[khufiya-khaufnak-antariksh]

OH I'M ACTUALLY WONDERING if I should put footnotes in Kriya Petri to show translator's notes. Like you might find in War & Peace or smth. I think it would break the flow (especially with the first-person narration), so I think I will have notes, but they'll be at the back of the book. I was consider having them at the end of the chapter but that would break the flow too. Maybe the notes at the end of the book are chapter-by-chapter.

"aha!" moment: realised the psychological horror in Kriya Petri is all about the terror of trying so hard to think of something, but you draw a blank & a dull ache. Nothing else.

Maybe it's for the best that you don't remember, and maybe it's even keeping you safe. Protected. But isn't it still an uneasy feeling? Knowing there was something significant there, but nothing, nothing, nothing, the mind stumbles & falls even trying to think of it?

[khufiya-khaufnak-antariksh]

if it basically feels like a brand new project then i'll treat it as such to get the hype up

#wip: kriya petri

[khufiya-khaufnak-antariksh]

So earlier today I introduced some of my WIPs to some new people, and I realised that many people might not be familiar with those two WIPs.

Kriya Petri: fantasy (with body horror & dystopian elements). Setting: A country called Fillor on a planet called Thuluke. In Fillor, to bind yourself to the one you love, you require a trinamate potion to seal the bond. 'Trinamate' is marriage (though that is a rather crude translation of the word). But to get a trinamate potion legally, the couple needs to be… acceptable. A man and a woman who plan to have at least one child. Yes, it's been 1000 years since the global apocalypse, but 'sufficient reproduction' is still a concern among the Filore people (plus it's a moral virtue for the Divine Monarchy, who reside on the cloudlands, with an iron grip on the institutes of Fillor). A potioneer wants to elope with their lover, but the pair is, let's just say, not acceptable. So what are they to do? The potioneer brews a trinamate potion on their own, finding the closely guarded methods & ingredients for the potion through who-knows-who, bunch of shady people. The potion explodes. The potioneer knows the punishment for something like this. They'll be condemned to Kaewoe (so will their lover, if anyone finds out), a realm so deep below the ground that it's close to the core of the planet. Kaewoe, where the mind & body are destroyed by the horribly high concentration of magic. Kaewoe, the names & lives & loves of all who enter it, all slowly turned to unknowledge. Good thing stealing identities is absurdly easy in Fillor! The potioneer wipes all memory of their crimes & love (or else the Thought magicians would know), flees to the city of Naebo. Their name is now Kriya Petri,

Welcome To The Real World: scifi, fantasy, surrealism, horror, tragedy

This one's in very early stages Inspired by Frankenstein Setting: The Great South Asian Rip in Reality, where physics (time & space both) is just completely twisted. The year is sometime in the 2070s. Sometimes it's the 2040s outside the Rip. Depends when/where you step out. Moh-maya, reality's very fabric & everything that keeps up the illusions that comprise reality, are very malleable in here. Main character: Kabir aka Moksh. A closeted Indian trans man who lives a double life, perhaps even a triple life. One in which he's a cis woman & a regular bright STEM student (STEM studies also include study of moh-maya). Another in which he's just some guy with good friends (the most authentic of his lives), where he goes by the name Kabir & uses moh-maya to present as his true self. If only temporarily. (it's painful, mentally & physically, whenever he has to revert to the female form). The third is some mad scientist bullshit, he's going by the name of Moksh among his fellow mad scientists & his main project is a moh-maya Frankenstein's monster that others can share their consciousness with, such that they can experience shape-shifting more easily & go where they physically aren't, do things they physically can't. Let's simply call it the 'entity'. Due to many reasons, creating this entity is pretty illegal. Hence the new name & collaboration with fellow shady people. the plot, put shortly: he starts doing vigilante justice w/the entity & then goes far & gets more & more consumed w/work & things go verrrrrrryyyyyy wrong despite starting with (dubious but) good intentions.

in this second one i neglected to mention the fact that you, as the reader, get front row tickets to the main character's spiral into madness & justifying murders thru the entity + the entity is a whole person & has opinions + a whole lot of other stuff, I DID mention that this WIP is in very early stages but holy fuck i could go on & on about it (just not in a way that can be packaged in a structured & sensible introduction)

#i have re-written the introduction to kriya petri so many times because it's hard to know WHAT parts i should talk about first #and this introduction still isn't concise. currently i'm not really in the phase where nailing the introduction is super important but #it's still at least a LITTLE BIT important. but i never seem to get it right. i think this one IS an improvement over my other #introductions to this wip because it gets the MAIN FOCUSES across (and even without talking about the other major characters it at least #touches upon the issues kriya has which will be common with the other characters. so it works). #still not entirely satisfied BUT this is my 'baby' wip cuz i started it when i was 14 and it's grown so much in the past 4 years #and honestly i should probably just read a bunch of scifi (finish octavia butler's series lilith's brood maybe since i finished the last #book recently) because before i wrote this intro. THAT was what made some of the worldbuilding aspects 'click'. #i really need to make the amphibious nature of the thuluken humans play more of a part in their culture as well! #i just realised that so many aspects of this world have been DISCONNECTED! they need to be woven together! #it's midnight and i'm sleepy. why am i sleepy i could be working on this (or on my college assignments [it's okay i've got a lot of time #for them & am making progress on them at a steady rate])

[khufiya-khaufnak-antariksh]

returning to Kriya Petri and holy fuck okay , my past self had a lot to write. I shall not speak of my progress in this WIP for a while but motherfucker there will be

#i'm returning to it because i finished reading frankenstein & therefore also finished the previously #on-going months-long brainstorming session for a different wip. #I finished the book tonight because I couldn't sleep by 2:30 so i thought I may as well. it's 3:24 now.

[khufiya-khaufnak-antariksh]

I thought my interest for my projects ran out & I got sad but then I thought more about it & it's a whole mix of..... circumstances. In the case of Kriya Petri it's the fact that I don't think I can write this story yet. Not "ready", whatever that means in this case. I'm still very interested in fleshing out the world it's set in, but I think I'll actually have to shelve this WIP. 14 year old me would be so disappointed lmao, but I've also got a bunch of other stuff that I am ready to make + lots of it is in the same setting anyways.*

I don't have much time for creative pursuits in general as of now (minus some music). But when I want to write it's mostly short stuff + snippets of serialised projects. some of it set in Fillor, some of it in other settings, etc

* a lot of the "not ready to write this" is 1. time 2. realising i do not have a good enough grasp of the themes i want to write 3. the worldbuilding. I got burnt out due to unrelated reasons & that made the worldbuilding part of my brain go poof. Obviously I can create the worldbuilding as I write this particular project & fix any errors if required, but also this project is my baby & I'd rather have the bulk of the errors be in smaller projects. plus smaller projects would be WAY easier to make in the meantime, considering the fact that my focus is divided in a lot of different ways & it's just more manageable

This post was pretty much just for the sake of thinking out loud. Kind of scatterbrained at present time cuz of changed happening. But I hope to complete AT LEAST one short bit of writing sometime soon, I've got WIPs of short stuff & I want to complete at least one of them sometime soon. even if I can't yet carve out time to do m o r e stuff.

#the small amounts of writing i HAVE managed have come out of the ''don't take it too seriously & it doesn't matter if it's not up to your #stupidly self-critical standards as long as you have fun'' strat. #once things get a bit more settled the strat will reach its FULL POTENTIAL #but as of now #:/ #i'll be in another city in just a few days + will adjust to the college life there #the priority list is studies & music > art > writing #art & writing interchange their spots sometimes #idk as of now i can't think very clearly at this house because bio family #idk everything is very scatterbrain-inducing #brainscatter-inducing?

🍩 🍪

Thanks for the ask anon!!

🍩 Recommend a writeblr who is an all-around must-follow and tell us why you follow them

just one???? ok fine. A new-ish friend of mine is @andiwriteunderthemoon and her wip Kriya Petri has some of the most original and expansive worldbuilding I’ve read recently and wonderful characters! She’s also super active around writeblr reblogging stuff and responding to other peoples works and puts out content on a regular basis so there’s always something interesting to find on her blog :)

🍪 Share a song or music video that represents your WIP

I’ve got all of my playlists listed in this post, but if I had to pick one song, I’d pick Sight of the Sun by fun (which is on Luca’s playlist and a general good vibe for the story).

send me a snack?
