to ruin a god
by Sitara Acharya.
to ruin a god . . .
โโโ all of these dead things, sun-swallowed.
the author twenties. vivid (purple-tipping) prose. stories spun of yearning to madness and undertoned with rot. (south-east) asian lore. grey morality and the romanticisation of human ruination.
for what is godhood if not a third death?
currently writing ...
solely for my current WIPS (weeping in progress). for completed works, all are currently available on my wattpadโwhich is to say: none.
โ threadbound and fated to ruination, only one of them can make it outโdoes it matter, living or dead? โ

๐๐๐๐ has long known the water in the woods like the backs of her hands, knows that the creatures that dwell beneath the sun-dappled surface are shaped from tender skin and yet run as thick and dark as fresh blood in winterโstarved and desperate for a dancer.โ๐ป๐ฏ๐ฐ๐บ ๐พ๐จ๐บ ๐จ๐ณ๐พ๐จ๐๐บ ๐ด๐ฐ๐ต๐ฌ ๐ป๐ถ ๐ป๐จ๐ฒ๐ฌ.โ
๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ has always had vivid dreams, the images lingering long after the break of daylight. Too dark and too often; he sees swamp bodies and girls in gold and vine, trapped in a dance that grows more twisted each time. But this time, they are all bound in deep vermillion and spider-silk, and it begins in a weave right through his ribs.โ๐ช๐ถ๐ด๐ฌ, ๐ช๐ถ๐ด๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐จ๐ช๐ฒ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ด๐ฌ.โ
Between dreams and dances, the water in the woods grows darker as the moons between Sarfaraz and Kabir grow closer. Bound by an old history and memories they remember only fragments of, the hunger beneath the surface begins to seep into heavy bones. When one is promised to death, the other must decide to wield the knife.

ANTI-(gen) AI, but the writer strives not to use AI at all in any creative means and/or mediums, especially her writing (it is near and dear). as such, please do not feed her work into AI, it is a violation of intellectual property and hence a breach of copyright.update frequency?
Sitara updates when she can, which means that the updates are irregular and few-to-far in-between, as the writer is, first and foremost, a degree student in STEM.graphics?
