Life is getting between me and my WIP again so I made another mood board of the aesthetic of my current short story.
In this tale, Bastion, the usual protagonist of my horror stories, has found a moth-like man in a jar.

I know I'm generalizing here, but it's true that queer people write freakier, weirder, more interesting horror 99% of the time.

I let the main character of my novel pick my drink for the evening. I now have a bottle of Jack Daniels in my house.

coming up with a new OC is like fighting a dark souls boss. you design them, give them a backstory and personality. it's all done, and then the second phase begins. boss music escalates as the health gauge replenishes. you now need to name them.
