about lyrae
hi, i’m lyrae (they/them), a woodland cryptid who writes villains with feelings, engineers time loops for sport, and occasionally remembers to feed the ghosts. i live at the intersection of art, code, and story— which is to say, i break things beautifully and then document how i fixed them.
themes: memory, obsession, choices that were objectively a mistake but narratively delicious. if a character would rather perish than go to therapy? outstanding. give them a mug and a moral quandary.
what i do
- writing: fanfiction — villains, hauntings, time shenanigans, cause-&-effect held together with stubbornness and vibes.
- art: my latest obsessions, mostly sketches.
- programming: for school and fun :3. one day i shall reach the moon (create a videogame)
interests, obsessions & recurring motifs
villains with arcs time loops AUs that shouldn’t work (but do) ghosts & liminal places found family via dubious choices
currently writing about: holmes brother angst, jim moriarty having issues (as usual) and tom riddle problems™ (so many).
alignment & loadout
- alignment: chaotic good; villain-positive; law-abiding only when the compiler demands it.
- loadout: drawing & digital art • piano • code (C / JS / Python) • fic & meta • 🇫🇷/🇬🇧 fluent, learning 🇩🇪/🇪🇸
- tropes: time loops, unreliable narrators, AUs that go feral, found family with teeth.
