Day 8: Tunic

[mistresslrigtar]

Attention!

If you see this you are OBLIGATED to reblog w/ the song currently stuck in your head :)

(I started a new thread because the last one was LONG!)

Are you going to believe me when I say the Spidey and his Amazing Friends theme 🙈😂 (pelican, this is hilarious! But valid. That song is an ear worm if ever there was one!)

@daemosdaen said:

Currently I have When Legends Rise by Godsmack stuck in my head. Pretty easy when I hear it all the time. (Daemos, I love that song by the way! Thanks for the rec a couple of months ago!)

I was tagged by @daemosdaen . I just finished playing Strands (which I’m usually good at) not lately though! Today, my husband said when I couldn’t figure it out, “Oh, baby, you’ve been so dumb lately (pause) but I love you though.”

Really, it was hilarious. His deadpan delivery made laugh until I was crying. I digress. Because of Strands I have the Annie Lenox version of Winter Wonderland stuck in my head!

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the lane, sow is glistening!

Happy holidays, ya’ll! I’ll tag @mailrebel and @abbyz-elda because I know you two have playlists!

What type of writer are you?

Thanks to @drsteggy for the tag!

I am not surprised. I like to have at least a loose outline, but will allow the story to shift if need be.

I’m tagging @mailrebel @pelicanpig @raurusthirdeye @daemosdaen @flutefemme and @dubiiousfood

Hey, I am currently still writing wrote a holiday story. That is all.

Nothing could have prepared Zelda for the child-shaped body that is Purah that slams into her the moment she steps through the door.

She teeters slightly under the high-velocity hug, Link at her back to steady her, and she looks at him, wide-eyed. He raises his hands with a look that very clearly says “I tried to warn you.” But hearing ‘Purah did an experiment that reversed her age so she’s a child now,’ is vastly different from actually experiencing it.

Also in this chapter: some beach time.

All the numbers except hits increased from last year. I'm kind of surprised by that - especially with all that I published this year. Some of which I think was critically received. Oh well! Maybe 2025 will be the banner year!

Happy Holidays!

Fascinating and invaluable looks at the financial aspect of writing, and an author’s cut of sales under current publishing industry models.

And a reminder to all you wonderful folks just how much the direct support of creators on Patreon and other similar platforms has a tremendous impact!

Chapter 18

“I said carefully!” Zelda’s voice was too loud and too shrill in his ears. Link didn't know what was worse; that Zelda cried like a crow or that Darston had dropped him onto some kind of cot without considering the beaten state of his body. Link groaned, unable to form a complaint into more coherent words.

“I was careful!” Darston defended himself, raising his big hands in the air. 

Zelda ignored Darston and sat down on the edge of the bed. She was bathed in a soft, orange light from the echo of a brazier she’d placed beside them. Her cheeks glowed from the heat in the cave, but otherwise, she was unscathed. 

Goddesses, the monster would have cost Link his life, if these two hadn’t arrived! And Zelda? Her ponytail was still neatly tied up on her head and her dress appeared to be spotless, apart from some soot smudges on the sleeves. Even her tiara still sat correctly on her head.

For Ed of year fic asks!

Thanks for the ask, @drsteggy

favorite fic you wrote this year: I answered this one previously, but I will answer again because I was really proud of this one-shot, and it didn't garner a lot of attention 😭😭 I'd definitely play in this sandbox again. I think it might fall under the Original Legend tag...

15. something you learned this year: I worked on my descriptive writing this year. The above one-shot is a prime example - it doesn't have an ounce of dialogue (which is what I usually lean into since that's one of my strengths.)

21. most memorable comment/review: I answered this one in a previous ask. It's actually the weeds out the weak comment you commented on for Love is Forever lol I love that comment a lot. It made me laugh.

These were cute @louwhose ☺️

Can we do a thing?: Fanfic Writers, your main character and the love interest are caught under the mistletoe. What happens next? 👀
