🌸Julia🌸

I follow a mangaka on here and was checking for news, and then I remembered my account exists and maybe I should use it sometimes 😌

Well my last (art) post with me saying I’ll be more active here was six months ago so it seems about time to make another (art) post in all my activeness

Attempting to once again return here by tossing art of my horse boys onto the screen 🦄 #digitalart #characterart

Returning to hopefully be more active on here, beginning with posting a recent cover for one of my books! 💜🌺

Hi everyone! I'm Julia, a dark fantasy author and illustrator. I write about socially awkward werewolves, vampires with daddy issues, depressed immortals, and reckless protagonists. All of them queer, all of them idiots, and all of them coping with trauma in unhealthy ways.

Here's a drawing of my oc Luther, the hacker of the crew ! 🖥️

At first he had only a succulent but after saving the ship from an attack the crew started to give him plants to thank him
He said that he don't like plants that much but in fact he really cares of them ( and secretly loves them too ) 🌱

A brief, considerate moment passed as she tried to alert Noah of her presence without resorting to physical violence.

Chapter snippet from Daydreams and Nightshade, chapter 3!

His mind was thrown into tumult again, and he clenched his fists hard to stop them from convulsing. He had to. It made him look bad. His father had told him so many times. A whimper escaped him, and he sank down on the floor where he pressed his forehead against his knees. “Stop it,” he reminded himself, voice weak and pleading as he began swaying from side to side. “Calm down. It’s just a vase. Just a mirror. Just— Just a… Scar.”

Chapter snippet from How To Fall From Grace, chapter 2.

Thank you for the art share! ❤️

Both of my books, Everything Is Wonderful Now and Open Wound, are pictured sitting on my altar. There is a death card by Open Wound, some demon sigils in the middle, a lighter in the center that has a picture of vampire fangs that says 'bite me,' and by Everything Is Wonderful Now is a baphomet pendant, a skull, and some stones. Everything is in shades of purple.

The Requiem Series so far, and some things you might find in it 💜🖤💀

“You know, if he’s doing something bad you should tell someone.” “Seth’s not a bad person.” Lucius knitted his eyebrows. “It’s just a stupid rumour. A stupid rumour you shouldn’t talk about.”

Chapter snippet from The Meaning Of Eternity, chapter 2!

And yet people are surprised when I mention "neurodivergent" in convos about him

#writingcommunity #books

Catherine is the capricious, wine loving co-founder of The BBT. While she doesn’t particularly care about the organization’s goals she values the resources they provide, and she has a soft spot for her fellow founders. Despite her unpredictable temper and obsession with otherworldly darkness, Catherine is not intentionally sinister. She just comes off as a villain because she happens to be easily offended, and people in her surroundings are awfully rude sometimes.

“What do you think happened to the priest after? It took control of his body, and more importantly his mind. Do you think a human can endure even a little of what it means to be such an entity?”

A small snippet from Fairy Tales and Ghost Stories, where some real talk is going on.

His voice was slow and careful, both to Lucius’ pleasure and disdain. It was no doubt intended to sound submissive, but he had no problem discerning hints of the tone one used to reason with an angry child. In conclusion, Bahman was disappointed. Again.

A small snippet from The Judgement Of Divinity, where the protagonist is being very bad at his job

GUESS WHAT everybody take a look at this sexy little beast coming out next spring 👇

In conclusion: Lucius is fucked, but (spoiler alert) his moral compass isn’t completely shattered, and nihilism isn’t his cup of tea. So happy ending still possible, sort of! 4/4

And then his soul gets even tastier and the horrible stuff he does makes things around him worse, which the creature he sold his soul to finds hilarious. 3/4

It also plays a part in his corruption of course. He gets his power to “stop” the bad guys but then he realizes Being bad is comfortable?? so maybe his goals can be conveniently forgotten (but he’s tootally gonna get to it soon) for a while?? 2/4

Fun fact: The anti-capitalism theme was not a big thing in the draft, but after it literally killed Lucius’ friends on multiple occasions, made his life miserable, and eventually forced him into sacrificing his soul to stop it, it was hard to not address it. 1/4

Hey everyone!
