Greetings and Salutations!

Ensnared In Ariadne's Web

You have found yourself in my web, in the musings of my mind.

Expect to find occasional poems, short stories, and twisted thoughts. I am nothing without my words, so I shall endeavour to both share my own, and support those of others.

I am a dark creative - which means my work (poetry, prose, art… everything) is dark. Very dark. There will be topics and themes which could be uncomfortable and which may challenge your view of the world.

The things I create are forged from the iron core I built, the way I survived what the world asked me to experience. They are not created merely to shock, merely to be a kink, or some way to be sensational nor fantastic.

They are merely my words, my methods, and my darkness spreading ink across paper until they form an image. Until they make sense to me.

Even if to no-one else.

Everyone is welcome here.

That said, if you wish to leave, I will release you.

If you wish to support me, please consider offering a contribution.

With thanks,

Ariadne.
