talking about ideas alone, i've wanted to delve into something like vampire or supernatural politics. or grueling, relentless and filthy war. but i'm not well-read or well-equipped on how to go about that, i'd need to bounce some ideas off of folks to get my inspiration going. anything grim and existential with power dynamics i'm 1000% there for

but there's one wip of mine that comes to mind as a "dream fic", Tranquilized. i've posted snippets of it before and i love the mood set and prose. it's bleak and psychological, has transhumanism themes. the setting is in a desert region but it's so godawfully cold. not literally. the sun is always scorching. but everyone keeps to themselves and are distrustful, common buildings are in ruin, and the wealthy live in spires of perfect, pristine white with clinical technological interiors. i'm eager to continue writing it, but i need to finish the anime it's inspired by first lol (Texhnolyze). and i haven't been in the mood to finish it for a bit. eventually!!
