To preserve my dignity, pretend “experience wine” is a real thing and i DEFINITELY didn’t just not notice that expensive wine got autocorrected
Typo on my questpit post…and it’s too late…
a moodboard of a meadow in sunlight, a boy drawing under a tree, a vintage car outside a stately home, a class room with one student looking up, a table of half empty cocktails with one knocked over, champagne floating in an swimming pool, a girl on a stairwell in front of a stained glass window, teenagers in school uniform, a young man in the woods in sunny weather
Tragicomic SALTBURN but it’s 1989
Left with a cellar full of experience wine without adult supervision, one 17yo boy invites his best friend - and her beautiful elder brother - to his grandfather’s otherwise empty estate for an unwieldy, decadent summer.

From top left and moving clockwise, the arrows read: * Non-MC chosen one * Sapphic love and tragedy * Finding your purpose * Sailing across a drowned world * People descended from the stars * Malta-inspired setting
An advertisement flier featuring various sea-based images. "The Distance Between Stars and Salt | A Sapphic Maltese-Inspired Seafaring Fantasy Novel" is listed at the top, followed by two circular images. The first depicts an aurora borealis in the night sky, while the second depicts an overhead view of ocean waves. Beside this is an image of luzzu boats in a harbor. Below this is an image of rocky outcrops within an ocean. Beside this is "There was and there was not, in the oldness of time, a star-born woman and her hapless wife who ventured on an arduous quest...". Below this is an overhead view of a rocky shore. Beside this is a four-panel color palette.

A low saturation moodboard of: a English village scene in the fog, a woman seated and covering her face with her hands, a dimly lit lecture theatre, an out of focus woman in the forest, a collection of lit candles, a person in a hoodie in a field at night giving the finger, a screen cap of Carnival of Souls, two people facing one another either side of a door, a crow perched on a tree in autumn.
