POV: you’re Nuala or smth idk
watched new oversimplified video
thought that utica was the coolest battle in the second punic war and that Scipio Africanus was pretty baddass
blacked out for two hours and woke up with this on my screen
YEEEEE
The genral gist of the story:
it takes place in what in the equivalent of the 2020’s for us, however its marked as 5223 pa (post awarness) for them, and billions and billions of years after human society was destroyed by ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
The story follows the six main characters: Ava(15), Umbra(15), Sam(16), Grace(16), Kevin(15), and Scrape(14).
(Almost) all of them have some sort of relevance, and reason they’re important.
In the world they live in there’s an increasingly growing threat, known as “The Despair” this is an an anomaly that causes a the creation of “Despairlings.” (the silly name has infact, lead to people not taking it seriously.) These “Despairlings” are technically a form of animals, however they’re closer to monsters, they’re often tall, beastly, creatures, that only know how to hunt and kill. While it’s not fully certain what causes this “Despair”, the most common theory is that it stems from suffering and negativity, hence the name, this theory is based off two things:
1. Where they’re often seen forming.
These beasts always start in a place of misery, burnt down houses, crime scenes, funerals, etc. They never form anywhere postive, while they sometimes may move to somewhere where postive emotions are being experienced, they never form there.
2. How they behave.
While at first it was theorised that they act on pure survival instincts, this has been debunked, as, while yes, they do hunt, it doesn’t seem like it’s done for food, as they’ll often leave the bdoies, rather than eating them, they don’t just kill what they need for food, or what they deem as a threat, no, they kill anything. When it comes to intelligence species, they’ll only kill people who are either, in groups, or, on their own, but miserable.
These patterns have lead to the current theory that they feed off of suffering, not food.
The fact that they’re becoming more frequent is a concern, and the reason for this is unknown, however there are some scraps of proof that the government had been ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ in the past, but this is mostly just a conspiracy theory.
The current thoughts on why is that people are just suffering more, but what the governments have been saying is that there’s been groups of terror groups going out of their way to generate Despairlings. They claim to have evidence of this, but they refuse to release it.
Ava, Grace, Umbra, and Kevin are all in a, questionablly legal, group, that makes its goal to prevent The Despair from getting out of hand, however, sometimes…it feels like there might be something…deeper to it… it’s probably nothing though…

Today is Daisy’s birthday, and to celebrate, we have a beautiful birthday present for you all: a new edition of Arsenic for Tea! It has gorgeous sprayed edges and a new introduction for me - the perfect way to mark ten years since it was first published.
You can buy it anywhere you get my books, but I always encourage you to check out your local independent bookshop if you can. And if you can’t, just head to Waterstones or Amazon’s websites.
Happy ten years to Arsenic for Tea! It’s still a fan-favourite, and a very special book for me.
And, if you’re hoping for more news from me, let me reassure you that this is not the end of the secrets I’ve been keeping. I’ve got a lot more to announce very soon …

When I first read mmu I couldn’t picture faces for the life of my (still kinda struggle with it). Anyway, my 11yr old brain filled in the blanks with what was in the cover, and becuase the cover was just a pitch black silhouette, the only thing on daisy’s face that stuck was her blue eyes.
Daisy Wells looked like this to 11/12 yr old me
