#Lyn's writing challenge

Tell Me About This Time Loop, Again?

And so it begins... @inklings-challenge

Day 12

In Zo's mind, it never felt like the day was properly begun until Lyn woke up, looked around at the room they'd been staying in, frowned, and said—

Day 13

"Where are we? And why does it feel so... familiar?"

"Well you see," Zo replied, as he always did, peeking at the underside of the egg he was frying, "we're stuck in a time loop."

Day 14

"A time loop?" Lyn swung her feet over the side of the bed, seeming to realize for the first time that she was in one.

"Don't worry, it's clean." After confirming they were, indeed, in a time loop, one of the first things he had suggested was finding a comfortable place to set up camp. Somehow it had worked, and they had ended up there every time things reset. "And there doesn't seem to be anyone around, so I don't think we're stealing or trespassing." 

Lyn raised an eyebrow. 

Day 15

"Well, we might be, but no one minds. It's a ghost town. Everyone seems to have disappeared." And since it was a time loop, they never ran out of cooking gas. Or food supplies. That, at least, was convenient. 

"Disappeared?" Lyn stood up, adjusting her shirt from how it had gotten scrunched up in the night. Despite her attempts to look bright-eyed and alert, he could see the sleepiness that still hung from her eyes. 

Day 16

"Our best guess so far is that it's connected to the time loop." Zo flipped the eggs. If this all persisted, he could open up a fried-egg restaurant once they got out; he was getting an absurd amount of practice flipping eggs.

"That makes sense." Lyn padded over to the window, still barefoot, and pushed the shutters open. "Do we have any evidence, or is that just, well, a guess?" 

Her gaze swept the view, which he knew without looking was nothing more than the empty lines of blocky, one-story buildings and the too-smooth black-top of the streets. The neighborhood was pressed together as if sheltering from the plains beyond the town, with such a veneer of newness covering it all that each house might have been churned out of a factory yesterday. They hadn't been, though, considering the subtle signs of wear and tear inside the houses. 

"Eh, a bit of both. Something weird is clearly going on with the area, and we know time is affected, too, so it's a logical guess that the two are connected. Whether that means some psycho wiped the town out before setting up their experiment, or just that their timey-wimey dealybob messed up physics in general is still up for debate. Do you want toast?"

"Yes, please."

Day 17

"Good. We have to finish the bread before it goes stale." Zo left the 'in case we get to the next day' implicit.

"I'm surprised we still have butter. I thought it would have gone bad in your pack."

"It smells a bit odd, but so far we haven't been affected by it."

Day 18

"Okay, but how do you know we're in a time loop?" Lyn asked, setting the table. 

They were in a ground-level studio apartment, so the dining room, kitchen, and bed were all in the same space. No couch, which Zo took to mean that the owner was either poor or a cheapskate. Either way, it was disappointing. Still, the carpet wasn't bad. He'd slept on worse.

"Because you've asked me that so many times I've lost track of the number," Zo said, "and you seem thoughtful every time, like you're not as surprised as you thought you'd be." 

She nodded and set a fork down carefully, wearing the expression she always did just then, brows squeezing down over far-away eyes.

"In all fairness, though," Zo clarified, "I mostly lost track because I wasn't really counting, and then it seemed pointless to start. It's been over two weeks, though, I'm fairly certain."

Day 19

She smiled, and the tension in her brows eased a bit. "This all does feels familiar. Like, I don't remember the other days, but all of this feels like I should, somehow, know what happens next. But I don't."

"I do know," Zo replied, "and it's getting a bit tiresome."

"Fair."

Zo nodded, slotting toast into the toaster. "Very. Whoever owned this place pretty much only had eggs in their fridge. I'm not sure how many more days in a row I can eat those without losing my mind."

Lyn looked up sharply.

Day 20

"Relax," he said, waving his spatula, "they respawn every day, so I don't think it's even technically stealing. If it is, we can pay them back later. There's a fully-stocked but unmanned convenience store down the road, one which we have very nobly not taken anything from, every single day."

"Good," Lyn sighed. "After all, if we get out today, we wouldn't want to be rewarded by jail for petty theft." She tacked on a fierce look at the end of the sentence.

Zo shrugged, and let Lyn interpret the gesture as she would. "Eggs are almost done."

Day 21

"Good. I'm weirdly hungry. Also, thank you for breakfast."

"Don't mention it," Zo smiled. "It's nothing I haven't done many times before."

FFXIV Write 2023 Day 26: Last

“Well, Hydaelyn. I take my leave of You. Yours is the mantle of the last of us. May You have…the joy of it. The burden…and the solitude. It falls to You now—You and Your champion—to save our star.”

And then She was there, her familiar bright warmth engulfing him in an embrace, though he had no true form.

He seemed to sigh anyway, leaning into Her as he used to countless ages ago, before they had both become this.

“I have faith,” She whispered. There was an impression of having his hair stroked as he was impossibly cradled.

“As do I,” he replied. “Though I know not why.”

“Perhaps it shall be made clear within the Sea,” She replied, drawing him across the Rift. “Though much of you has been lost to my counterpart.” Her regret was clear.

“A necessary sacrifice.”

“You ever did your duty, and for millennia did He shield this world, with you as His heart. But our time draws to its end, as is ever the way of life. Soon even I shall lay down my charge.”

“I suppose we must trust, then, in Your Champion to safeguard that which we have held so dear.”

“I have faith,” She said again.

He was almost surprised, in what little of him was left, that he had no hesitation nor doubt concerning the Warrior of Light and Darkness’s ability to take up their long-held burdens.

“As do I,” he repeated. They cleared the Rift, floating in an endless blue sea of light.

There was a final impression; hands upon his non-existent shoulders, the brush of a kiss on an imagined forehead. “Rest, dear one. Our brothers and sisters wait for you among these stars, that you may be reborn together.”

He knew, somehow, that She would never join them. Grief and relief for Her both filled what would have once been his heart.

As he fell into those boundless waters, he smiled for Her one last time. “Farewell, Venat.”

let me make it up to you .

𝖛𝖆𝖗𝖎𝖔𝖚𝖘 𝖚𝖓𝖘𝖔𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖉 𝖘𝖊𝖓𝖙𝖊𝖓𝖈𝖊 𝖘𝖙𝖆𝖗𝖙𝖊𝖗𝖘 . . .

              It's very rare that anything really gets under Samael's skin     ——    he's usually pretty damn good at regulating his emotions, it's come with years of therapy and hard work... It's hard to piss Samael off. So, as he stands at the mess of his guitar, the one he's had since before his fame, his eye twitches. It was a gift from his aunt, to celebrate his joining her band, and he can still remember how happy he was to accept it. How it had been the first real gift anyone had ever given him... And now, it's broken into pieces at his feet. Samael feels hot rage bubble up inside him, his hands trembling as they curl into fists at his sides. 

              It doesn't help that his aunt is gone, too. Died not too long ago in a hospital, Samael at her side from a canceled tour with her old, withered hand in his as he wept for her... There's no way he can replace the guitar.

              He takes a deep breath through his nose, trying his best to calm himself down. There's a stinging in his eyes as tears begin to prickle his vision, and he has to look away from the mess before he bursts into tears. Summer's words make him sigh, and he grits his teeth as he rubs over his eyes, scrubbing the moisture away. He shakes his head, turning away from both Summer and the guitar.     ❛❛   I need some space.   ❜❜     Comes his clipped reply, murmured out, lacking the amused inflection he usually pours into his responses. 

              He's not mad at Summer... Frustrated, yes, but he's moreover mourning the loss of one of the only physical things he actually gives a shit about... Summer doesn't know the semblance behind the instrument. He probably thinks it's just something Samael can easily replace... Samael knows it's not right to take his feelings out on Summer     ——    no one deserves to be yelled at the way Samael did when he was a child     ——     so, he wordlessly heads to his room, and the second he shuts the door, he's sliding down it and crying into his hands.

February 10 - Day 2 Cage/Power

Ash looked sheepishly up at her from where he stood on the other side of her desk, his uncle Meryn a giant beside him. Lyn smiled warmly — what else could she do, this was an unexpected visit during work hours, and normally it would be fine. Welcomed, even.

Except there was a ghost of an elderly patient, Alena Bluebell, who had passed only an hour or so before on her couch, still coming to terms with having died. One of the Kyrian bearers would be by imminently to collect them. Not that Meryn or Ash knew that. They couldn't see through the veil like she could.

She'd entirely missed what her half-brother had said, and furrowed her brow, "Sorry, can you say again? I got the part about the field trip ending early."

"Somethin' happened at th' Farstrider Retreat an' all the animals got out. Field trip ended, I picked him up 'cause you were in surgery an' they couldn't get hold of you. So now we're here!" Meryn seemed fairly well pleased at his recounting, but that was his general disposition most days anyway.

Ash, however, had slunk slightly back behind his uncle's leg, trying not to be noticed.

How interesting.

Her eyes flicked over to Alena, who she'd previously been consoling and preparing for what came next, and the spectral woman pointed at Ash's school bag. It was hard to miss the slight wiggling when it was called to attention.

Lyn rubbed the bridge of her nose, "Ash, hon, I'd love to hear more about the animals. It sounds like it was exciting. Were they big? I haven't been to the Farstrider Retreat in a while."

"Um. Well. No. They were mostly rabbits and chickens and little lynxes, and they were in cages back by the kitchens," he folded his little arms behind his back, careful not to squish his bag.

Right. "Goodness. All got loose at once? I'm sure that was something," she folded her arms on her desk and leaned forward, peering at her six year old son, knowing exactly what had happened.

He nodded emphatically, golden curls and long ears bobbing along with the motion as he bounced in place a little, a bit more confident, "Yeah! It was so much. They said it wasn't safe to stay and now I'm here!"

Meryn beamed down at his nephew before looking back over at Lyn, "Can't beat a half day an' th' Farstriders are gonna have to figure out some other kind of dinner, which is kinda funny."

She wasn't mad about it, and she didn't want to get onto her son for having a big heart, but this could also potentially be a huge issue. Maybe. Lyn sighed quietly, "Nobody caught you freeing them, right, Ash?"

Ash blinked up at her, his big golden eyes a smidge dewy and a little concerned, "Oh. No. I don't think so. The plants helped and opened the cages for me. I didn't open them."

That was something, at least. Alena and Meryn both laughed at the same time, and Ash smiled up at his uncle. Meryn was often his savior when it came to Lyn trying to parent, and he was clearly charmed by this tiny crime.

"And what kind of animal is squirming around in your bag that you're bringing home?" She almost didn't want to know the answer, but she knew it was better to find out now than find it in his room later.

Ash blushed and pulled his shoulders up to his ears, "….It's some little bunnies. They're nice though! Can we keep them?"

Meryn scooped his nephew up, careful with his bag full of rabbits, "That's a decision for later, yeah? Can't have bunnies in th' clinic, let's get you home and y'all can talk about it later."

Ash giggled and waved as they swept out the door, "Bye momma!"

Alena's ghost smiled wistfully, watching the door a moment or two longer after they'd departed, "Our future's in good hands, I see."

Lyn chuckled, ear flicking as the melodic chime of a Kyrian bell echoed quietly nearby, "It certainly is."

Blood Diamond; Year Five

ahh!! the blood diamond one shots are always so enjoyable to read and that make me think so much about my own characters and their backstories and childhoods as well. this one in particular really got to me; there isn't much room for childhood discussion in btrtv and the way you characterize young kendall and james made me MELT. so accurate to real kids, first of all, but there was so much shared about each other with just a few lines of dialogue. katie tugging james' hair at the end is like. the perfect precursor to their relationship as they grow older too lmao! i always look forward to your work :) <3

2. assorted works of @partiallypearl / @praetoravila <3

promptober one-shot!!

aughauifafvaibie there are never enough words to describe how well you write katie and the knights. even if this was just a short story reworked to be in kendall's pov, the strong ties between them are evident and i love the little quirks and rituals they all have that you sneak in there. how kendall instantly knows something wrong with katie, how katie pushes back against him, everything is just *chefs kiss* excited to read katie's pov if you ever wish to share that as well!!! <33

4. assorted works of @inkameswetrust <3

date night

god. in kames we DO trust. everything about this one-shot had me going through like. every single emotion possible for a person to feel. lyn is the character of all time + i love how james (and kendall, reluctantly) got to participate in a scheme akin to their youth to make sure her date goes perfectly :)) and the dual line between what was going on with lyn and Nathan helped kendall and james learn more about each other - even after being together for so long!! thought about this one for days ngl and the drawings you made live in my head rent free. im just 1000% obsessed thank you so so so much for sharing :)

5. assorted works of @naquey / @ithinkyouhealedmyheart <3

ghostwriter ch 3-8

AHHHHH RONNIE MY SWEET MY LOVE MY EVERYTHINGGG god the story you are weaving her for and kendall have me (affectionately) tearing my hair out. the way these chapters set up her relationships with most of the main characters is just so special. though everyone is just a little bit different than one another, and all the teens have their own special quirks, they're all still able to get along and make friends. i imagine in the tough Hollywood industry, that's all they have. ronnie slowly getting to know and opening up to the other girls, the band, guitar dude, and everyone else is so sweet! each chapter brings a new understanding to her character, and i love every little thing about her :) getting to read her and kendall's story is a privilege!! so excited for their future heheh <33

6. assorted works of @icegirl2772 <3

Take A Shot In The Dark Ch. 16

MY FRIEND!!!!!!!!!!! thank you so much for using my prompt list, i'm so happy you were able to find inspiration from the things i put together this month :) though i am just a casual fan of the umbrella academy, from my two seasons of knowledge, i'm confident in saying i love your version of the characters even more lol! each blurb brought in a new sibling dynamic, something of your own to bring to the table. just blew me away, truly. my favorite was the cemetery prompt you wrote with ben. got my heart squeezing harder than ever before! and the one with the psychic and klaus and allison was soooo so so good. so happy you were able to get these out and share them ;) looking forward to more in the future

[chiruyuki]

hi

wow... i do not have experience making blogs or posts AT ALL

but hi! im chiruyuki! u might know me on ao3 as the person behind the detco rewrite :') i decided to make a blog for it so i can post aaaalll of my redesigns + notes, wips, ideas and other stuff for it cuz why not??

the other writer is @moonlight--magician, she's in DCEN under the name ♧🂡 ✩Lyn ☾✩♤, (mine is "pope conan's left shoe"). she’s the one who gives me ideas, gives suggestions, helps with redesigns, challenges my writing and corrects details :D im really grateful for her!!

updates will be irregular, so, um.. beware of that, i guess? here's the link to the rewrite:

[veryextraincorrectfegbaquotes]

Besides Lalum, do you have any particular favorite characters to write and/or characterizations you're proud of?

I really enjoy writing Sigune, the fact she never lies makes actually writing her a lot more challenging and fun because she needs to talk around or present things in ways that people believe, or boldly admit to things from such a position of power that they can't do anything back. It's fun!

I enjoyed writing Idoun as an emotionless super-mage and enjoy even more writing her as a recovering emotionless super-mage trying to shake off old habits. I of course also love writing the perpetually pissed Clarine. I like writing emotionally limited characters, huh!

Also Goop Lyn, Goop Lyn is so fun to write I'm proud of the fucked up identity issues alien I made, she's so full of pride and anger and confusion and anxiety and more pride.

Secondary Character ref-sheet master post

Even though I've posted these guys separate, this is to keep things neater on the pinned post.

Below the 'Keep reading' is all their information written out again, in case it's difficult to read for anyone ^^

Effigy (Mew):

Height/Weight: N/A [multiform] DOB: 4 BIllion years ago Birthplace: Kanto region Sex, & gender ID: Intersex, Genderfluid Sexuality: Aroace (Aromantic, Asexual) Nature: DOCILE Food Likes: N/A Food Dislikes: N/A Characteristics: Quick to flee

Other Info [Point list]

Effigy is the hive mind of all Mew-kind manifested into a multiform spirit.

They reside on Utmost Island (Faraway Island) where the memories of every mew can be accessed like a database.

Any Mew can talk through Effigy, dead or alive; but is most commonly used as a way to communicate to the other Mew that is currently out of hibernation.

There are two Mew's left on earth populating the planet. One is A Shiny.

Effigy was a gift left behind by the Origin Mew as a way for Mew's to communicate their culture, and purpose in life as a creator of all pokemon eggs.

Rotom (Okita's Rotom phone):

Height/Weight: 0.25M / 0.21kg First opened: 30/04/2044 Birthplace: Aunura Region Sex, & gender ID: N/A, Non-Binary Sexuality: Aroace (Aromantic, Asexual) Nature: Impish Food Likes: Sour Food Dislikes: Dry Characteristics: A little quick tempered

Other Info [point list]:

Rotom was a birthday present for Okita's 10th birthday. Okita became upset when she was told there was a pokemon living inside it; even though it could deposes at any time.

Okita began writing software for Rotom so it could use its pokemon moves freely in its phone possessing state. In doing so, she accidentally trapped the pokemon forever inside the phone.

Rotom's personality is a combination of being a complete drama queen, and unapologetic towards everything.

Rotom and Okita have a friendship based on insults, but are highly defensive of each other when someone else gets involved.

After Okita jailbroke Rotom with the homemade software, Rotom's now able to adjust its ability, pokemon level, and pokemon moves via the internet; as well as downloading TM's at will.

Rachael badly suffers from ADHD. She's known for never stopping/always moving, talking very fast,

Rachael and Okita have a strained relationship in the early days, growing to be inseparable over time.

After capturing Okita, she bragged about capturing the most powerful pokemon in the world to her friends, only for Okita to not know how to use pokemon attacks when brought into battle. Rachael usually battles in 'underground' arenas around the world to challenge herself.

Hey all,

Check out my friend @lyndsyh24 \o/

She’s a talented artist and crafter, and a fantastic writer. She writes x readers for One Piece just like me! (Lyn is more romance and feels than smut, I’m the devious gremlin between the two of us)

Lyn was pretty much the first person I talked to when I got back into fan fic in October ‘22. She was kind and supportive and really helped me get my feet under me - idk if I’da made it to here and now otherwise, and I’m super grateful.

She’s a great friend and a good soul, so check her out. Her stuff’s organized by sideblog like mine (I gave her the idea quite forcefully xD ) and navigation is easy. She’s new to tumblr and just barely settled in, so be nice!

More one-word challenge posts later on, until then, rock on with your bad selves and conquer the day 😎🥰

[devondeal]

16, 40, 46, and 55 for the writer ask game 😘💚💙

Thank you wifey! These were so fun to do 🥰 been way too long since Ive done fun Tumblr things:

16. How many fic ideas are you nurturing right now? Share one of them

Really just the sequels to existing fics like A Master’s Gift and Ahsoka’s Ruminations. One idea I have for A Master’s Gift is I’ll get into flashbacks about how the Barrissoka break up went down to explain why their dynamic is the way it is in the last chapter.

40. If someone were to make fanart of your work what fic or scene would you hope to see?

I would love to see fanart of Ahsoka’s Ruminations with one of the hallucinations maybe when Barriss hallucination shows up cuz angst ahoy.

But I would especially love fanart of Luminara and Barriss in A Master’s Gift when they reunite in the afterlife. Also Ahsoka threatening Lyn would be fun 🤣 aiming her lightsaber at her throat all angy, Lyn terrified, and Barriss rolling her eyes.

46. How would you describe your style? (Character, emotion, action driven, etc.)

Character and emotion driven I would say. Like my fics are often born from any character tension I can feel and want to exploit in a way that canon for some reason wasted.

55. Of the characters you write for, which has been your favorite? Has that choice been swayed at all by your followers’/readers’ reactions to certain ones?

Barriss is my favorite because she is just so complex though Ahsoka is a close second because I love giving her more depth than canon ever will.

An unexpected pleasure to write has been Luminara though. She’s challenging in a fun way and I make myself laugh writing her mominara shennanigans.

I don’t think my choices have been swayed thus far. I have my favorites and I stick with them. Though my wife has definitely made me enjoy writing for Luminara since the majority of my interpretation of her comes from there.

[neoyorzapoteca]

The “open text,” by definition, is open to the world and particularly to the reader. It invites participation, rejects the authority of the writer over the reader and thus, by analogy, the authority implicit in other (social, economic, cultural) hierarchies. It speaks for writing that is generative rather than directive. The writer relinquishes total control and challenges authority as a principle and control as a motive. The “open text” often emphasizes or foregrounds process, either the process of the original composition or of subsequent compo­sitions by readers, and thus resists the cultural tendencies that seek to identify and fix material and turn it into a product; that is, it resists reduction and commodification. As Luce Irigaray says, positing this tendency within a feminine sphere of dis­course, “It is really a question of another economy which diverts the linearity of a project, undermines the target-object of a de­sire, explodes the polarization of desire on only one pleasure, and disconcerts fidelity to only one discourse.” (4)

The Rejection of Closure by Lyn Hejinian | Poetry Foundation

I'm starting to think that part of why the schedule is delayed is that Remy underdelivered again this update, and RC doesn't want to deal with that backlash. RC really shouldn't have let her write two stories at once--both stories are suffering now because of it. I'm worried that they're both going to become the next DLS, dragging on and on and on forever.

It's possible that Remy's workload could have played a role in the delay of the schedule. Creating content for multiple stories can be challenging. However, there could be many other factors that contributed to the delay as well, such as technical issues or that they taking extra time to ensure the quality of the new update. In any case, it's best to have patience and trust that the team is working hard to deliver the best possible update for all players.

Rath x Lyn would be a nice ship if their A wasn't just Rath dumping his backstory exposition on her. he really thinks this pulls women? no. get outta here.

what I would have liked is for that exposition to be delivered in his A support with Guy. think about it!

you could easily write Rath as bitter bc Guy is planning to return to the Kutolah someday and he doesn't have that choice. only for Guy to point out that the Kutolah's adherence to tradition has also failed him, and that once he's The Very Best Swordguy he plans to return, not only to protect his mother but to challenge that tradition. this opens Rath up to the possibility of returning to the tribe as well. they have a friendship moment, roll credits. then the writers can change Rath's A w/ Lyn to something that's actually interesting.

oh well. it'll exist in my dreams at least lol
