I was good, not gonna lie. Way better than in the scene I did earlier. Meg’s disinterest and lack of positive feelings towards my character forced me to use my voice and eyes and body to impress her. The Director will be smug if I admit it but I was a different person with Meg, a person that tried, gives it their all. That’s not me—I’ve been the opposite of that my whole life. Drifting with the flow and taking shortcuts to second-rate destinations. WE’LL never FORGET
Moodboard with 7 images: a teenaged girl and boy smiling at each other while leaning on the rails of a staircase. a young man alone on a beach, head bowed as if sad. A young south Asian woman sitting on some stone steps. A south Asian teenaged girl walking out of the woods reading a book. a young man filming with a digital camera. A close-up of a couple holding hands. The central image is an overhead photo of a desk with a script of Romeo & Juliet on it. The text across the centre of the moodboard reads we’ll never forget”. The moodboard has the premise of the story written above it, which reads: “Oli wants to shine as Romeo and impress the film agents at the community centre’s Christmas play, desperate to achieve his dreams before it’s too late for his sick mum to see. If only Meghna—the girl the Director insisted on casting as Juliet—could act! His solution: Make Meg fall in love with him for real and wow the crowd. Meg doesn’t date though, and wants revenge on Oli for a past misdemeanour. He will need all his acting talent to win her heart.”
Some self-reflection following his second audition for the Christmas play✨

New chapters of #OurSharpForsakenTeeth! Millie has never wanted to know more about herself. She was created for violence; what else is there to learn? But shouldn't she try to know everything Dr. Topher knows, if she's going to bring her down?

“I don’t think Kavi wants to move to Scotland so she can… run wild.” Ryhan inhales deeply. “She just wants a change of scenery, to experience a different way of life, have an adventure. And the freedom and independence to be herself—not what we expect her to be.” I gasp. He’s speaking the words of my heart, my soul. I’ve never mentioned any of this to him, and yet, he knows why I want to study away from home. QasamWIP
Moodboard for ALL YOUR QASAMS with a quote from the novel reading, ‘You are madness incarnate’ and five images: picture of a hot chocolate drink and heart-shaped cookies, a couple embracing during a boat ride, a young south Asian girl in south Asian bridal wear and jewellery smiling down at her maroon outfit, a close-up of a young man kissing the forehead of a young woman, a close-up the joined hands of a south Asian bride and groom, a young man in an aesthetic library reading a hardcover text book. The moodboard has the premise of the story written above it, which reads: “17-year-old Kavi thinks this year is her last chance to meet a boy and fall in love—due to a certain Qasam—and is out to find a boyfriend. Enter Aaron Mirza. He’s perfect, smitten. So, she must be perfect too. Her childhood best friend Ryhan will show her the ropes and become her Practice Boyfriend, right? But Ryhan has a secret, which could ruin everything. And if Kavi’s strict grandfather learns about her boyfriends, the real one or the fake, he’ll crush her dreams of moving to Scotland for her Medicine Degree.”
How did he know that’s exactly how she felt about moving to Scotland?

Meg gets a sponge from the kitchen and mops up the spilled coffee. I straighten her mug. It says, ‘I’m not ignoring you. I’m paying attention (to the characters in my book).’ I wonder if Meg got the cup custom-made for herself; the quote sounds like something she’d say. Chewing her toast, she mumbles, “You heard me sing.” “Was it BTS?” She frowns. “There are other K-Pop bands, you know.” “So, whose song was it?” “BTS,” she replies in a dull voice. WE’LL never FORGET
A photograph of a white mug sitting on a teal marble-effect coaster on a wooden table with a light background. The text on the mug reads, ‘I’m not ignoring you. I’m paying attention (to the characters in my book).
who’s gonna tell Oli that there are other K-Pop bands besides BTS?
#WIPsnips prompt: ‘mug’ (and I couldn’t resist “recreating” Meg’s mug; Canva is sitting right there on my phone😉)

Front cover of Immortal Consequences by I. V. Marie, 2025
YA dark academia. I found this first part of a duology compelling and so enjoyable! 6 POVs, a school in the afterlife, danger, magic and betrayal, enemies to lovers and lgbtq+ representation. So much fun! #YAlit 💙📚

That’s two people saying I don’t know Meg, don’t care enough, don’t deserve her. Maybe I don’t deserve her, but it doesn’t mean I don’t care. And I DO know her. As I walk home, I make a mental list of things I know about Meg. She lives and breathes books. Meg enjoys all kinds of genres and posts photos of what she’s reading on Instagram. She makes cute bookish tiktoks and is a proud member of online book forums and fandoms. I’m not stalking her, I’m not. WE’LL never FORGET

Oli’s not stalking her, he’s NOT😅

Obviously Romantasy still goes strong, but I don't think we talk enough about Academic Horror (murders at a private school, sort of thing) and it's growing sibling "Reality TV/Escape Room horror" enough. Holly Jackson was the big breakout and its been going strong ever since. #YALit
