Arkos (MMC of Veinguard Arum) doesn’t know just how much he cares for his crew/employees Amalthea (FMC of Martyr’s Rose) doesn’t realize how far she can actually go when she’s in love

Yes, and it would be Arum and their entire existence. Probably just like a real life fungus, they just came out of nowhere and infected everything, but then proceeded to projectile me into a whole different story project.

Unofficially this is the theme for "The Martyr's Rose" Granted tho, "Take Me Back To Eden" in general is it's theme youtu.be/28TwluEQueY?...

In “The Martyr’s Rose”- in a way that doesn’t spoil too much, love for Amalthea might as well be called obsession, cuz Arum has co-dependency trademarked.

I am I.V Burgundy/Amalthea, and I am working on a duology called “The Veinguard Arum” and “The Martyr’s Rose” Both are Sci-Fi horrors, with the second novella having Dark Romance themes. I also have plans to expand the universe, but I am currently limiting myself to the first two novellas for now

We’re rocking a solid 3 over here. Two of those points coming from the sequel…for two separate reasons

I do a lot of sitting with and mentally replaying the scenes in my head while I work on World Building And looking back I definitely didn’t plan for 2 characters becoming absolutely mentally unstable, and another going from a mafia man to an everyday worker getting the shittiest deal in life.

Also unrelated- Anybody know any good spaceship building games??? Cuz uh...severely realized I need that with my dumbass being somebody that needs visuals to explain shit

Man I fucking love Ellipsus Format is easy to get used to, and that I can insert pictures for reference is pEAK!

It’s a bit complicated with Arum Stripping everything down, they just want to go back home and have a community again. But how they’ve chose to go about it is what really makes Arum a monster. Veinguards themselves aren’t any better, as ‘co-existing’ means you become one of them, even by force.

I need to figure out this other alien species I swear to god- One for story shit & getting proper visualization in my head on how the fuck they look & function bodily wise Another cuz I’ve developed a crack ship all of a sudden with one of them & Arum & I have no idea how the fuck that happened

Any excuse to talk about my beloved lil fungi shits The main aliens in my universe is- as its named after- the Veinguards They are closely related to the Cordyceps fungus, are highly sociable and rather friendly…unfortunately they don’t take no for an answer on becoming one of their Sprouts well

everyone has limits with what they can handle in fiction in any medium, there is just a difference between "this made me uncomfortable because it explores the author's harmful prejudices" and "this explores a dark or taboo subject I can't handle" one deserves critique, the other does not

I think people misunderstand that IT IS OKAY if a book makes you UNCOMFORTABLE, sometimes that is the author's intent, but what YOU DO with those feelings as the reader is YOUR responsibility, not an author's, and which is why using that discomfort as a crux to mortality police makes you a dick

Unfortunately yes quq Drawing aside, I tend to write fanfics on occasion for fun. Thanks to FFXIV I am working on a short ✨️official✨️ story of Amalthea and Vath Sugar meeting, getting together and legit dating I would love to write the Dragon Age one I've had for a WHILE.

Without divulging too much information. My precious fungi boi Arum They got the mental stability of Allied Mastercomputer with the codependency of Yuno Gasai (with my surface level knowledge of her) So they're gonna be fun to write

Currently (and technically) there is 3 races in the "Veinguard" universe. Humans (obvs) Veinguards (also obs) And another species I don't wanna reveal yet cuz I am STILL planning on those fucks)

Both endings for "The Veinguard Arum" and "The Martyr's Rose" have come rather naturally. Tho Martyr's Rose has "3" ways it could end, I am leaning towards one of them tho- rather than the 1st ending where its open ended. The destination there tho may change a lot from the outline in my head

So- feel like I *might* be changing who is the protagonist for “The Veinguard Arum” Mainly cuz he’s just grown so much that there’s no justified way to keep him as a Side Character to me personally. Still debating tho if he has an actual appearance in the second novella or not

Ensnared by @/tiffanyroberts.bsky.social World Building, amazing. Character dynamics, organic. Romance, slow yet rewarding. Villain, I want to rip her jugular out and I am terrified of her. I hope I can achieve half of the things I enjoyed there with my own projects.

I haven’t technically *gotten* to writing them yet. But I believe the ones that are gonna be challenging would be Dade and Amalthea. One for getting people to care about Dade with his limited “screen time” Amalthea her mental state. One is execution, the other is inexperience on the subject.

Can I technically say ALIEN (1st original film)? Halloween is like an all year for me so I don’t know what constitutes as Halloween Film or not. If not, then my 2nd choice is “Nightmare Before Christmas”

It depends. Most of the time I think of the title before I write the story, sometimes I’ll change the title after I finished it if it doesn’t fit anymore. Veinguard Arum came semi right away, changed from Vanguard Arum. Martyr’s Rose immediately with an edit from Martyrdom to Martyr recently.

My ass literally just realized I accidentally put inhabitable in the question thing instead of uninhabitable god- Behold it is I, a dumbass that didn't double check the damn thing.

Ya know what- fuck it! I want questions about my two novellas "The Veinguard Arum" & "The Martyr's Rose" I'll compile them and either A) Make a video or B) a Thread answering the questions. Idk yet I will put summaries of the 2 books in the reply #writingcommunity #teratophilia #scifihorror

I do wonder tho on how the hell I am gonna introduce the second species in this universe. Cuz unlike the Veinguards I got like- zero plans outside "I had this design in a semi-sleep state and they're hot- physically and literally." They're also just flat out cunts-

Some writing progress today! Made notes for the world building/2n alien species Will work on getting it refined and put in my docs soon enough I swear I will get to the rough draft phase by the end of the year, even if I have to kill a man (man in question is fictional and is used gender neutrally)

Whenever sites come up with new rules like this I thing about how if you were a creator who was making something every bit on the level with a hugely popular and acclaimed series, would you be allowed to share it? Like, if you were sitting on the next Game of Thrones, you couldn’t share that here.

Imma be honest if the Veinguards where to have skeletons It will be fucking terrifying because *imagine a fungus having a skeleton for a second*

“Draw me like one of your nature studies~” Can’t wait to see this piece to completion, consider it a late #Monsterfucker Monday post- since I also forgot that too #workinprogress #veadricocs #veadricart #teratophilia #exophilia #fungusalien #theveinguardarum

Arum: *Strolls out of the Vanguard's Green House* Ya like Jazz?

#Monsterfucker Monday, and its Amalthea's man- Aidoneus' turn~ Unlike Arum, Aido has a dick due to being a Sprout Veinguard. Tho it has no biological functions outside of purely stimulation/pleasure Lot of foreplay, edging and teasing. He won't let his mate cum unless he says so. Bit of a sadist-

#Monsterfucker Monday again!~ Arum may not have any reproductive organs, but they are heavy on sensory overload and poison play, rope bunny and whatever keeps their partners hands on them~ Mist their bodies with fungicide, tingle them with ice or breathe on them they'll lose it from over stimuli-

Got a bunch of notes for the new species, and help from my group of friends in fleshing a few things out with them Now if only I can get to finishing World Building so I can get to finishing the character bios and then get to plotting "The Veinguard Arum" and "The Martyr's Rose"

Set up the picarto.tv/VeadricAmalt... ! Almost ready for streaming on there for drawing~

Fuck it, we balling with the second novella officially being labeled "Dark Romance" Because there's no way two peeps obsessed with/consumed by each other to the point of mass murder to NOT be labeled as such Just because IF there's a sex scene, it's dubcon & not noncon like every popular Dark Rom.

I want to finish the World Building document, and the character sheets But I would like to do a Q&A of my novellas- cuz yea while I want to be tight lip and protective of my works until they are published. I can't expect people to care for them with nothing at all.

I also wanna share some facts about my novella as well- but I'll do it from my author account here -Currently I have it planned as a duology. -The novellas are inspired by ALIEN/Covenant, Dead Space and The Last of Us -1st Novella: The first contact and misguided threat, 2nd: Prison romance

Oh hell yea I'll jump on! This is my lovely lil fungus alien Arum! -They are the main antagonist of my first novella "The Veinguard Arum" -Their species are based on the Cordyceps fungus (except on steroids), and Arum specifically taking the looks of the Titan Arum -Arum is very clinically insane

Ya know what would be fucking hilarious to do? Add another alien species to the universe that I gotta integrate and make a sheet for?

VEINGUARD SPECIES SHEET IS COMPLETE!!! FINALLY!!! NOW I CAN DO THE WORLD BUILDING DOC!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Ya know I say I'm close to finishing the species sheet And here I am adding more to it cuz "lightbulb" moment Gotta finish the Breeding section, then work on the Behavior part, then the lil Notable Veinguards THEN I'LL BE DONE WITH THE SPECIES SHEET! AND I CAN MOVE ON TO WORLDBUILDING

Had a thought- and figured I'd share this since ✨Pride Month✨ baby~ The Veinguard Arum has a complete LGBTQ+ cast The main lead is Asexual and Homoromantic, with a husband who is Achillean A prominent side character that's gay (may or may not be married yet, depends where I want his arc to go) 🧵

So far, I'd say the Veinguard species sheet is about 60% complete? The big chunk left is just reproduction with the rest just being small summaries on other bits The character sheets I can't accurately gauge how much is left tho- a good portion of it is done yes, but a lot are still missing shit

Btw, happy pride month ya'll! Don't be ashamed of who you are, regardless if you are in or out of the closet, regardless if you are an ally or a member of the community, regardless who you love romantically or platonically, regardless if you have a partner or not Don't let people tell you otherwise

Will say- I am *slightly* hesitant to add "Dark Romance" to my bio in reference to my second novella Cuz while technically it would 100% fit the themes of it- with how Booktok sees the genre- good fucking lORD

A LONG TIME COMING BABY! I sorta thought that for my novellas, it would be easier/more convenient to make a separate/alt account specifically for them. So! Any further updates/new stuff in regard to my novellas will be on this account moving forward!
