Intro time!

I'm Inklings, a witchy creature and published poet who adores becoming lost in the liminal and needs words like I need air.

I can often be found sitting under a tree, a book of poetry in hand.

Hello, and welcome to my world.

laying in the dark, cocooned in a toasty blanket, listening to the autumnal rain bouncing off of the window.

I am so cosy, it's utterly obscene.

So you know EXACTLY what you just walked into.

this is cosy jumper and campfire weather. i get lost in the magic and sensation of snuggling around a fire with people, keeping the chill in the air at bay with flames, hot drinks, and plenty of laughter.

my doggo just stared at me, burpled in my face, then covered me with kisses.

An illustration of two people kissing. They are nude and you can see that both of them are transgender. They are surrounded by ornate flowers and columns with transgender flags on top. A closeup of the previous illustration with the words “trans rights always were and always will be human rights” in the center

literally always reading half a dozen books at once. atm i am flitting between David Cronenberg, @nikitagill.bsky.social, and @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social, and i am loving every word. highly recommend all books seen (details in alt text!)

such a glorious way to spend a lazy sunny afternoon!
books strewn all over a bed. unseen titles are Wild Embers and Your Soul Is A River, both by Nikita Gill. titles that can be seen are Consumed by David Cronenberg, Spiritus Mundi by multiple authors, and in the foreground is an open copy of The Lamb by Lucy Rose.

a bunch of pink asters in full bloom looking like bright pink pompom puffballs against lush dark green foliage.

Quote your tarot:

the high priestess is my card. duality and balance walking among two worlds, using intuition to traverse realms. this card is unity, mystery, and stepping in to the unknown.

depicted here in the Wild Unknown deck by Kim Krans.
the High Priestess card from the Wild Unknown tarot deck by Kim Krans. the head, chest, and front legs of a white tiger dominates the card, dividing it cleanly in half. one of the paws relaxes in front of the tiger while the other is off to the side with claws at the ready, a warning that they are ready to strike if necessary. underneath them is white, save for a sphere between their limbs which contains the only colour in the card, a nebula of blues and purples. behind the tiger is coloured black in pen strokes, apart from a solid white crescent moon over their head.

Fuck terfs, fuck Harry Potter, and fuck bigoted shitstains who continue to prove what shitstains they are.

Trans rights are civil rights are human rights and if you have a problem with that fuck off forever.

quote with your favourite villian.

(I fiend for fiends)
Tim Curry as The Lord of Darkness in Legend. His horns are thick, his coat black and sparkly, and he has an adorable demon cherub peeking over his shoulder.

I burrow myself in to my garden, my postage stamp oasis of wilding.

#flowers #spring #witchy
a lush and overgrown garden full of wildflowers. bluebells can be seen in all stages of bloom, some of which are a white variety. violets are dotted near the ground, peeking amongst the greenery. on the very left edge of the frame, the beautiful yellow blooms of dandelions can just about be seen. in the foreground, there is a round slate with a pentagram etched upon it.

throwing words through ink once again. a messy birth on a stained parchment bed, the glorious perfection of imperfections.

ink stained fingertips make me absolutely giddy.
a hand viewed from the side against a grey background, fingers slightly splayed. the tips of the fingers are stained berry reds and purples with inks.

gently gathering my maxi skirt in my hand to go up stairs instantly turns me in to a gothic heroine climbing a tower. "a most noble ruin, of immense size and full of beautiful and romantic bits."
