Oof sorry that happened to you but, like, thanks for the confirmation lmao

Google isn't helping WRITEBLR HELP ME if someone were to get stabbed all the way through the palm (parallel to the bones), then how would it naturally heal? No reconstructive surgery or anything like that. Would the hole stay in the hand and skin form on it like a donut? Or would it heal like normal scars and simply go over it and look like a normal hand again? (Well, as normal as it can be)

It's giving "And for my boon!" in the best way 🤌 (if you aren't a stormlight nerd that means I like it lol)

Seven Sentence Sunday

Thanks for tagging me, @illarian-rambling , even though I have barely anyone to tag. This is the first time I've been tagged on Tumblr. Hope I did this right.

Rules: Post seven sentences of what you've been working on (:

The forest is alight with life, the rustling of leaves, and chatter of animals. The trees sway in a soft breeze, creaking and groaning as some limbs are stressed by the weight of leaves and wavering in the wind. Within a small clearing, a young girl sits, her eyes closed as her silver hair sways in the breeze. Her head is tilted down, her lightly tanned skin glowing where beams of sunlight hit her skin. At her side is a sheathed sword, her left hand resting on the sheath. She takes a breath, raising her head.

"Elders of the Clan, I make a request!"

This is a new story. That is all the context I will give. Honestly, I have no idea how to do these things. So I'm not even going to tag anyone because I am an uncertain bean.

(Do not take this as a "I did not want to do this." I would love to do these things in my tiny little corner here. I just won't tag anyone.)

(This is potentially a serious story. Potentially.)

[illarian-rambling]

Ok something similar happened to an oc of mine, so I can share what I learned!

There shouldn't be a hole if it's just a regular knife they're getting stabbed with, but without reconstructive surgery, they'll have some serious tendon damage. They probably won't be able to move most of their fingers very well and they'll have a nasty scar.

Hope this helps (:

The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me

Thanks for the tags @the-golden-comet and @finickyfelix!

Seven Sentence Sunday

Rules: Post seven sentences of what you've been working on (:

Alright yeah let's have some body swap short stuff lol. A rare Elsind W even!

However, Elsind’s attention was anywhere but on the clothes. When the fourth servant straightened, their headfins—a far warmer red than Elsind’s—slid back against their skull in subservience. They were a little shorter than Elsind, with some strange pockmarks on their extremities. But even so, it was unmistakable.

“You’re a changeling!” they blurted out. Hopping to their feet, Elsind completely ignored the other servants as they stared into that familiar face. It gave them the strangest sense of deja vu. They felt as if they should’ve been looking in a mirror—that was the only time they’d ever seen a face like that before.

For context, Elsind is a changeling also, who's never met another changeling before, so this is a big moment for them

I'll tag @nightmaricwriter @mk-writes-stuff @theink-stainedfolk @gioia-writes-and-others @verdant-mainframe and anyone else who wants in (:

Seven Sentence Sunday:

Over the past week, I have been tagged in some variation of this by @illarian-rambling (here), @tragedycoded (here), @cowboybrunch (here), @saturnine-saturneight (here), @leahnardo-da-veggie (here), and @eccaiia (here). Thank you for the tags, everyone! Wow a lot of people wanted to see seven sentences from me, I feel honored.

It's been so long since I last did a tag game that in that time, I finished writing Faded Daisy, outlined the sequel, and started writing the sequel. (The sequel doesn't yet have a title. Hence why I am just saying "the sequel" a lot.) Anyway here are seven sentences from the beginning of the sequel.

For a few minutes after Linos Tievis realized he had lost everything, all he could do was stand still. Snow slowly gathered around his feet, in his hair, and landed softly and invisibly onto his shoulders. He noted dimly that he should be cold, but he couldn't feel it. Was that a symptom of the change happening in his body, or was he was simply too numb to care about physical sensation? Did it matter which it was? Normally he would take any chance to categorize any possible change, to record it for the sake of science, but it wasn't as if he had any reason to do that anymore. His experiment was over.

Thankfully the seven sentences cut off right before big spoilers, so that's convenient for me.

I am going to tag my tag list, as always, as well as open tag for anyone else who wants to show me seven sentences!

Hello tag list <3 @leahnardo-da-veggie*, @the-scaredy-crow, @tragedycoded*, @drchenquill, @fifis-corner, and @melpomene-grey

Please let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from my tag list.

*: you don't have to do it, unless you really want to, because you tagged me.

I have a new tag list rule now: only people 17+ are allowed on my tag list; I'm not comfortable interacting with young teens. So if you used to be on my tag list but were removed without asking, that is because either you are 16 or younger or I couldn't find any indication of your age on your blog. My apologies. This was the only way I could think of to mitigate some of my anxiety about tagging people.

Can't wait for Tyr to tie Tav up like the gif 💪

✨🌺 Seven-ish Sentence Sunday 🌺✨

Happy Sunday, everyone! 🌺✨

Digging through the gifs, I found one from older Disney named “Gustav The Giant” and I thought, “Ahhhhh THAT’S why it sounded familiar.” My inspiration from Disney continues and spans many years, it would seem…back to the corner recesses of my mind. Thought it was a funny coincidence, to perhaps a subconscious reference.

However, my Gustav looks a tad different than this one 😂

Anywho, here’s seven sentences from the man fire giant himself, Gustav from ITROG ✨

“You FUCKER—!!” The giant man seethed, holding his eye as he stood up quickly. “—I’ve a mind to—OW, FUCK!!” He hit his head on the ceiling and caused a few rocks to rain down, which Tyrell managed to dodge through gasping maneuvers. Rubbing the back of his skull, the fire giant muttered while ducking: “Fuck fuck fuck owwww…..Ohhhhhohoho, you are SOOOOO fucked.”

Tyrell couldn’t see the jötunn’s face twist in maniacal fury—eyes nearly bulging, pupils constricted in rage, eyebrows furrowed, teeth gnashed, and nose curled up and pulling the corner of his lip. No, Tyr was in danger…..and he needed to get the fuck out of there before the giant caught up. Because if Tyrell was caught….he didn’t even want to think of what would happen.

“Fuck” counter: 7, to match Seven Sentence Sunday 😂

Oh yeah. This guy’s burning venom 🔥

Leaving this tag +open as always. Have a wonderful week, everyone! Don’t let the giants bite 💫✨

I mean, I'm having fun with it lol, but I do think it's funny how wildly I underestimated the page space it'd take

This 3k body swap short is now approaching 20k. I'm god's favorite yapper, I guess 💀

This is a shout-out for my friend @clever-pennname, who is opening commissions as of now! Want art of your oc? Want to see blorbo from your shows in full color glory? Want a portrait you can print out and put lovingly in a locket?

Well, look no further!

Have your pick of solid lineart, loose lineart, sketches, and silly emojis! The rate is 30/hr, with sketches taking around half an hour, and full lineart taking closer to 2 (but it'll be clean as a new car, I swear it). If you want furry art, that's fine, but it might take a little longer.

Anyways, if you want some cute art of your characters by way of supporting a fellow creative, this is your chance! Please reach out to @clever-pennname for further details (:

And as always, have a bitchin day!

She seems so cool! I'm glad to know more about her because now I can safely say I'm in love - I have a soft spot for turning the Wise Sage archetype on its head <3

Thanks for sharing her!

Fanart Friday: Black History Month Challenge! 🎨🎉

I'm gonna be honest here, I've been nervous to draw the black characters in my story- I'm new to drawing in general and didn't feel like my skills were good enough to do them justice (I know, that's pretty turned around, but the mental barrier was there nonetheless 😣).

But when @creatingblackcharacters sent out a creating challenge for Black History Month and said even lovingly drawn stick figures were ok, I felt like the mental barrier moved out of the way. ☀️

So here's the very first sketches of my banshee girl Tizita from my urban fantasy WIP 7 Circles 😊

This was a great time!! I wasn't sure if I had the skill to do her hair justice but I think I did alright, and it was really fun to work on the texture! Obviously I have a long way to go, (especially with basic anatomy- oof) but in all things creative I need to remind myself that practice is what's going to get me there- I'm not going to get it perfect right away.

Some Fun Facts About Tizita! ✨️

The name Tizita is an Amharic (official language of Ethiopia) word that is akin to 'nostalgia', 'memory', and 'longing' but has a richer cultural feeling behind it (more info here). Im a sucker for names that tie into aspects of the character.

She is a banshee, and in 7C lore banshees periodically go into a hibernating state and see visions of a particular person, place, or thing which may be from the past, present, or future.

Tizita shows up in book 2, joining the protags as The Knower of Things in the party. She had her very first vision and it was a DOOZY! Almost 3000yrs of information is somehow crammed in this girl's brain.

Leading up to the hibernating and for awhile afterward, a banshees eyes and hair lighten/grey - as if the age of what they see is affecting them, or they become ghostly in their magic state. This fades afterwards, however the more you see in your vision, the less you see of the real world going forward (i.e. Tizita's eyesight is garbage now).

I want her to subvert/replace the Wise Sage character trope, who is usually an old bearded man or a woman made to seem crazy. The person turning the tide in my story is this magical autistic black girl who likes dresses with pockets, listening to nature, and has a lot of joy in her despite the whole carrying-information-that-might-save-the-world and having-to-lecture-grown-adults-on-how-to-save-said-world thing.

Thanks again for the challenge @creatingblackcharacters 🫶🏼 it helped me take my first go at drawing my banshee girl.

If anyone wants to join in, I'd love to see/hear about any black characters yall might have! 😁 But obvi no pressure 💕

Thelyne is one of the founders of Nadalos that I am trying to write about this month. She's got a short story in my drafts. Thanks to @illarian-rambling and @demeter1111 for the inspiration I had no concept of what to call her up til now.
