So I'm doing a bunch of little illustrations for @zaebeecee's fic To Sever a Loveless Bond and the first one really got away from me so I'm posting it on its own.

Read the fic here, it's at 7 chapters so far!!

To Sever a Loveless Bond

[noelleimpact]

A late night scribble to just get this concept out of my brain.

Been reading Anguish of The Marrow (which I could scream about forever) and, while this isn’t a scene from the fic, it’s loosely inspired by the imagery it evokes when I read it. Probably more to come later, since this fic has me by the throat.

my favorite free tools for writers

hello, hello! hope you're doing well.

today i am bringing you another list with my top 3 favorite (free!) tools that I find helpful for each phase of writing a novel.

brainstorming phase

Fantasy Names Generator - not only for fantasy (you can also generate real names). this website is just... amazing! it helps you come up with names for characters, places and locations, descriptions, generate traits, outfits (yes, outfits!!), and probably something else you could ever think of.

The Story's Hack - this one is so cool! you can generate names for everything, create your own generator, and practice writing through writing exercises! plus, you can save your generated names to see later, and you earn coins for each idea generated (you can later buy themes - dark, snow, forest, etc)

RanGen - my last favorite generator on this list is RanGen! you can generate plots, appearances, archetypes, love interests, cities, worlds, items, and more.

developing the idea phase

Bryn Donovan - in this blog you can find master lists under the tag "master lists for writers". it is so helpful when you first start developing the characters and need to find the right words to describe them and to find some quirks and flaws!

Writers Write (350 character traits) - again, this is so helpful!

Story Planner - ah, the number of times I've talked about this website... please, PLEASE take a look at it, you won't regret it. this website has literally everything you need to fully develop your idea with outlines for you to fill in step by step.

writing phase

Colleen Houck (80+ barriers to love) - need more romace conflict? there you go!

Cheat Sheets for Writing Body Language - so, you know how your character's feeling, but don't know how he'd physically act? check out this list!

Describing Words - honestly, this is a lifesaver. don't you struggle to find the right word to describe something? well, with this website all you have to do is to type the object you're trying to describe and see which description fits better to you!

revising phase

Language Tool for Google Docs - i know we all have heard about google docs before, but the truth is, it's almost impossible to find free softwares to check grammar and spelling. so, google docs is useful, because it automatically revises it for us, and it's completely free. plus, you can add adds-on, such as "language tool".

Unfortunately, there's only one (free) tool that I actually enjoy for the revising phase. if you know some others, please let me know so that I can try them out and feature in this list.

exporting phase

Google Docs - i find google docs very easy to format and export to .epub, so i'd recommend using it as a free tool.

Reedsy - this is also a free tool available online. all you have to do is to write down each chapter (copy and paste) or import your word document. it will format the document to your liking and export it to pdf, epub and mobi.

that's everything for now! i hope this post was somehow helpful or inspiring!

Porter Gage Dialogue (Long Post)

Waking Up

Ain’t this about the best way to wake up…

Tempting as it is to stay put, we best get movin’.

Rise and shine, boss.

I don’t know how you survived this long, sleeping that soundly…

Well hey there. Good to see you’re finally up.

Player Isn’t Responding

Uhh, boss? You listenin’?

I thought we were havin’ a conversation…

Hey, boss! We’re talking here!

Any time now, boss…

I know you got a lot on your mind, but work with me here…

Dying

[Trying to say ‘not like this’] Not… like… 

Injured

I ain’t doin’ so hot, boss…

Might be down for the count here, boss…

Shit, that’s a lot of blood…

Fighting

(It’s a nice touch that his fighting dialogue is the same/similar to common raider’s.)

Well, we walked right into this. Suppose we deserve it.

What, you don’t wanna play no more?

Hide while you can!

Don’t worry - I’ll find ya…

Ain’t gonna fool me. I know you’re still out there.

Only a fuckin’ coward hides…

That sure was fun, huh boss?

Guess they thought they had a chance.

These things just never give up, do they?

You are so dead!

Gonna tear you in half!

I’m gonna piss on your corpse!

Won’t be nothin’ left of you when I’m done!

Really bad move!

I’ve done this hundreds of times. Think you’ll be any different?

Sounds like it’s time to put bullets in faces.

Time to dish out a little Commonwealth Justice. Well, maybe not justice… more like… ah, screw it. It’ll be fun, is the point.

[Synth] Ain’t no way you’re replacing me!

[Assaultron] Assaultron! Aim for the head!

[Assaultron] Watch out for the laser!

[Bloodbug] Get your blood somewhere else, vermin!

[Bloodbug] Oh no… you ain’t suckin me dry!

[Deathclaw] Oh shit… Deathclaw…

[Deathclaw] Deathclaw! Time for the big guns!

[Eyebot] Friggin eyebots… shut up, already!

[Eyebot] C'mere, spare parts…

[Mirelurk] Try and hit the face!

[Mirelurk] God I hate these stupid shells…

[Mirelurk King] You ain’t king of shit!

[Mirelurk King] Nice fins, show-off!

[Molerat] How many of you little shits I gotta kill?

[Molerat] You’re not tunneling away this time!

Looks like someone forgot to spray for bugs…

Damn, I hate insects.

I’m doing you a favor here, slimeball.

Keep your irradiated ass away from me!

Sorry. pal - I know you’re just doing your job, but you’re in my way.

Friggin’ bugs.

[Throwing a grenade] Here, have fun!

[Throwing a grenade] Blammo!

[Throwing a grenade] Got somethin’ for ya!

Enslaving Someone

Free and in charge today, tomorrow somebody’s slave. Ain’t life somethin’?

Can’t lie, it’s always just a little bit funny to see the look on their faces when they realize what’s happened…

Player Steals Something

You get caught, there’s liable to be a fight. I ain’t complainin’, just sayin’.

Yours now, huh?

Nice lift, boss.

If they were concerned about it, they’d have taken better care of it, am I right?

Finders, keepers.

Sure hope they didn’t need that.

Somebody’s gonna be surprised later on…

Not everyone can pull that off. Nice lift, boss.

Exploring/Misc

Who the hell’s idea of fun was this shit?

Oh yeah, because what this place needed was another friggin’ roller coaster.

I ain’t got the brains for mazes. Hope you know where you’re going.

They just slapped bottles on everything, didn’t they?

Ain’t no way people paid to see this shit. I refuse to believe it.

Was this actually supposed to scare folks, or make ‘em laugh? I honestly can’t tell.

Don’t mind me, just throwin’ up in my mouth a bit here.

You ask me, whole idea of these “Vaults” was messed up. Sure, stick me underground with no control over anything… What could go wrong?

[Looking at a mainframe] Well ain’t this somethin’. Probably don’t all work, but… I’m gonna keep my hands to myself just the same.

[laughing at roller coaster that derailed with riders on it] You imagine the looks on their faces? What a way to go.

Well, somebody had quite a party here. Not too sorry we missed it.

People actually stood in line and waited for this crap? Bunch of suckers…

[standing in western town, messing up a joke] How’s it go - “This town ain’t big enough for you and me…” Ah, never mind.

[laughing at tiny skyscraper models] Think this is what bein’ a Behemoth is like? Rawrrr, Gage smash!

Aww, look at how nice and clean this is, and I here am, dirtying the place up.

Don’t see places this orderly very often…

Been around dirt and grime so long, I ain’t comfortable in a place like this.

Wow, I mean… I ain’t got words.

We ain’t dead, right? I’m actually seeing this?

[Entering the Institute] Good luck, General. I hope you find your son.

[Near a Loud Noise] You see any way to stop that friggin’ sound?

[Near a Loud Noise] So much for never going deaf!

[Bright lights] Shit, that’s bright. Some people have no manners.

[Bright lights] Really hoping that’s not super bright as a distraction…

[Bright lights] Aw god, I think I just went blind in one eye…

[Smells something] That smell ain’t you, right? It sure as hell ain’t me…

[Bad smell] Shit - that’s a smell you don’t forget… Better not stick to us.

[Bad smell] The hell?… My nose ain’t ever gonna work right after this…

[Bad smell] Oh damn, that is foul.

[Swimming] This is probably mostly water, right?

[Swimming] Shit, I hate getting’ wet.

[Swimming] Swimmin’ in irradiated water ain’t exactly my idea of a good time.

[Swimming] Well, shit. Guess I needed a bath anyway.

[Sarcastic] You think the maid service here is taking on new clients? They do a bang-up job.

[Sarcastic] Yeah, this is fine. I wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight anyway.

This much dust means no one’s been around in a while…

Well, this is filthy. And not the fun kind.

Ever seen a dust angel? Bet you I could make one.

I’ve seen gangs trash places before, but this is… impressive.

If I’m gonna get shot, I’d prefer it’s up close. We stick around here, we ain’t gonna see it coming.

You, uhh, you getting the creeps? Yeah, me neither.

Don’t know about you, but I can’t see in the dark.

I don’t mind sticking to the shadows, but this is a little much.

Somethin’ about this place don’t feel right.

You know how they say some places are too quiet? Yeah…
