I think I found the last piece of the puzzle that is my worldbuilding.
Sketch on a stikie of psilocybe aztecorum, a bell cap mushroom that grows in bundles as is sketched on the right. Notes on the left read “may have been used in ceremonies, ‘sacred mushroom,’ ‘flesh of gods’ teonanacatl, lives in and decays dead wood, leaves, sticks” The notes around the mushroom read “cap colors range from yellowish brown to golden” “grow in bundles” “bell shaped caps” “white stems”

The first card I pulled from my new oracle deck and it called me out right away, knew what it meant without even reading the meaning

I am forever obsessed with RamaThornArt’s (twt) cover for Mal! Painted with watercolors to get that perfect fairy tale feeling, I love it 💙
Cover of Mal by Perla Zul. A man with hair made of thorns holds a blue rose on one hand. His black coat is open to reveal his ribcage that holds two other roses like a cage. There is a spinning wheel looming behind him.

The hero and his companions must travel through the dangerous forest with the monster they defeated. But she is not alone. The ghost of her beloved lives among them, whispering into the monster's ear.

Poster of The sound of Marigolds, titled lower center. A woman in a dress floats in dark water, asleep. At the top of the poster are the tropes sapphic fantasy, villain pov, monster protagonist, and post hero's journey. On the left edge is the text haunting, heartbreaking, healing surrounded by wreaths, and on the right is the text flipped fantasy tropes, also inside a pair of wreaths. Towards the bottom is the text Yaretzi as the demon witch of nore, malvado as the hero, uleyla as the dying princess, yoran as the lying witch, and vishta as the one-eyed knight. Below that is the text, coming 2026

Poster picture of the sound of marigolds, titled above. A large marigold descends from the top of the poster, with hooved legs skipping on grass extended from it. At the top are the tropes, sapphic fantasy, unrequited love, and monster protagonist. By the hooves is the tagline, the monster you defeated is now your last hope. Encapsulated by wreaths are the lines, flipped fantasy tropes, and haunting, heartbreaking, healing. At the bottom right corner is the text, coming 2026

Here’s Vespera, the Sleeping Beauty from Mal!! I created her to contrast Disney’s Aurora. Writing her and seeing how she grew as a character was such a special experience. She loves with all her heart but won’t let that love blind her. A true queen.
