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.
threadbound and fated to ruination, only one of them can make it outโdoes it matter, living or dead?

And she is their promised dancer: a feast in gold of human song and bone.โ ๐ป๐ถ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฒ ๐ด๐ ๐ป๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ป๐ฏ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ป๐ถ . . . โ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ dreams, blood-vivid and lingering long after the break of daylight. Too dark and too often, he sees swamp bodies and a girl draped in gold and honeysuckle vine. But this time, she is in deep vermillion and spider-silk, a spool of thread weaving straight through his ribs.โ ๐ถ๐ต๐ช๐ฌ ๐พ๐ฌ ๐น๐ฌ๐ป๐ผ๐น๐ต. โ Moons descend between Sarfaraz and Kabir into a dance that begins and ends with hunger as they are drawn together; inevitable, irresistible, and entirely inexorable. Bound by thread and fated to a devastating ruin, they will face a grim choice once the water calls for them; to be lovers in feral skin, whose soul will become salt?
to bear news ...
a quick overview of certain things i'd like to address. please note that i'm generally inactive until i have something written up for publishing/posting.
AI stance?
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?
