Small Wonders

From Friðrós: You’d think, as small a Realm as Awenia is, that at some point you’d have seen everything—or at least I once thought that. The fact is, even when I’m not creating things in Her Fae Majesty’s absence, I come across things that surprise and delight me all the time. So, not all stories are bit and full of action. In the great Awenian scheme of things, I am a small cog in a slightly…

Lil snippet from the fic I'm working on:

“Hey, Dean,” Claire says, pretending to be uninterested in seeing him. The grin tugging at the corner of her lips betrays her. 

“Hey, kid,” Dean says. He looks at Kaia. “She behaving herself?” 

Kaia laughs, the sound light, almost fragile. Claire squawks in indignation. 

“For the most part,” Kaia says. A lock of hair falls in front of her eyes, and Claire takes her hand. 

“I’ve been doing just fine, thank you very much,” Claire says. “We took out a vamp nest just two weeks ago - they were nasty. Almost got impaled on this stupid rusty nail in some barn. Got off with just a scratch.” She pulls up her sleeve, and Dean sees a nasty cut on her bicep. He winces. 

“Hope you got your tetanus shots,” he says. 

Because I think I'm hilarious, and fuck that season 15 ending.

stars / esteban kukuriczka

summary: esteban has been interested in you for some time, he finally finds the perfect opportunity to make the first step. tw: none, just pure fluff. words count: 2.4k

"and, cut!" said bayona. with that, the shooting for "la sociedad de la nieve" were officially over. the movie we had been working on for the past 5 months had just come to an end, and with it all the afternoons spent with the boys rehearsing the scenes, laughing and reading the book. it was a strange feeling and as bayona said this, before cheering, everyone looked at him in silence, realizing that with that word a piece of their lives was going away. but soon after that matias, fran and agustin ran towards jota who was already laughing and took him in their arms, throwing him in the air and catching him, while all the other cast members had gathered around them, singing and laughing. i was leaning against the nearest wall, watching them smiling, when someone next to me said "that was great, huh?" i turned suddenly, surprised, and saw that at my side was esteban, the calmest of them, and perhaps the only one with whom i hadn't become so close. i looked up to meet his gaze and with a nostalgic smile i said "that was amazing" as i stroked my arm. the boys were now carrying jota on their shoulders all around the room. i looked in their direction and laughed at the sight. we stayed like that for some time, glancing awkwardly at each other every once in a while but then always looking towards the boys.

"hey" said esteban suddenly, bringing me back to reality "did agustin told you that there's a party tonight?" "uhm, no?" i turned to face him and looked at him curiously, looking for explanations. agustin was my best friend and always told me everything, we never went to a party without each other. maybe he had forgotten to tell me, because of the filming he had always had a lot to do. i waited a while before i got an aswer from esteban. "yeah, we organized something small at mine to celebrate, since the filming's over." he said while stroking the back of his neck nervously. i looked at him waiting for him to go on, and then he spoke again. "do you want to come?" a little smile formed on his lips as he said this. "yeah, sure i'll be there." i said with a big smile and his eyes began to shimmer as i spoke. "i'll see you later then" i told him smiling as i started walking towards the exit. we didn't even realize that everyone had left, leaving us alone in that big room. i waved to him one last time, just as i walked out the door, before closing it behind me. as i got out i reached agustin, who was leaning on his car chatting with matias. “you didn’t tell me there was a party tonight?” i scolded him, hitting him on his shoulder. we were inseparable since we were kids and we always told each other everything. matias started to laugh as agustin pretended to have hurt himself. “sorry, i completely forgot about it.” he said “who told you anyway?” he asked with an interrogative tone. “esteban just told me.” i answered looking at my shoes, while my cheeks got red. "uuuuh" said matias laughing with agustin. "finally." he replied, rolling his eyes. I decided to ignore what had just happened, i was tired of his childish ways. "okay, so i'll see you tonight?" i asked them both, while desperately searching for my car keys in my pockets. "see you tonight." they both responded in chorus, smiling mischievously.

i rang the bell and bit my nails while i waited. i had never been to esteban's house. we have never spoken much to each other despite having practically spent 5 months together. i've always admired him from afar and i've noticed that he doesn't talk much, he keeps to himself, but he has developed wonderful relationships with all the cast members. and, during the endless evenings in which they played their parts over and over again, i found myself unconsciously looking at him, his perfect nose, his mouth and his eyes that lit up every time he got into character.

after a while enzo opened the door "y/n! thank god you're here." i took off my jacket while getting inside "why do you say that? has agustin already started drinking?" i asked him laughing. "unfortunately yes" he replied, ironically rubbing his hand on his face, as if to say 'I can't stand being around him anymore' in fact as soon as i turned i saw agustin who was laughing with fran. seeing this, a small laugh escaped my lips.

i placed my jacket on a chair and approached them, taking a drink from the table. fran was telling agustin about some things that happened behind the scenes and he was laughing out loud. as soon as they saw me they immediately became serious, greeting me warmly. "hi y/n! how are you?" fran asked me, hugging me and smiling at me. "everything's fine. happy filming is over!" i said happily and putting my arm around agustin's shoulders in a friendly way. "have you already started drinking? it's only 10." i whispered in his ear. "oh, stop it!" he said taking my drink from my hand and drinking it. "hey!" i said trying to reach for it but agustin had already drunk it all. "i can't be around you when you act like this. you're insufferable, you know that?" i asked him angrily. he looked at me with a lost gaze and i understood he was already gone. i sighed. that was going to be a long night.

"and then he slipped on the ice and fell on his face!" matias bursted out laughing as blas spoke. they were telling me about that time they were filming on the mountains one of the most important scenes and agustin well, fell in the middle of filming. we were all laughing except for him. "do you want me to tell her about that time you forgot your line, your most important line, in the middle of the scene?" he threatened him. "hey" enzo put a hand on his chest "that happened to everybody, like that time when you-" "okay guys, that's enough" blas interjected, to separate the two of them. i was still laughing while my gaze went all around the room. i noticed that someone from our group was missing. esteban.

he was sitting on the sofa, looking at us, at me. i realized that from the moment i arrived, from the moment i entered his house, i hadn't even greeted him. silently, while the others were still arguing, i walked away to join esteban. sitting on the sofa with a glass in his hand, his eyes were fixed on mine until i sat down next to him. i smiled sweetly at him "forgive me if i didn't say hello before, but there was a little problem with agustin." my gaze went from his face to the scene that was unfolding in front of us: agustin was taking everyone's glasses to drink them. esteban laughed softly and his eyes closed in the sweetest way, his freckles shining in the darkness of the room.

"there's no problem, of course." he turned to me, smiling. we looked at each other for a few moments, without saying anything. i could no longer hear the screams and laughter of the boys, but only the beating of my heart thundering in my ears.

“y/n?” "sorry what?" i must have been dazed because i woke up hearing esteban's voice. “i just asked you if you wanted to come out on the balcony with me to smoke a cigarette” he repeated to me in the sweetest tone I had ever heard. esteban was the kindest and most helpful person i knew, he was always considerate towards everyone and it was difficult not to love him. and, oh god, he was handsome: everything about him was perfect: his face, his hands, his arms.

the balcony wasn't particularly spacious, it was just enough for two people. when he closed the glass door behind us all the noises and music coming from the room were muffled. i smiled at that thought, it was as if the whole world went silent, and we were in our little bubble. but then i realized that it was cold, very cold. my dress certainly wasn't made to keep me warm so i found myself shaking like a leaf. i leaned on the balcony railing seeking relief but instead only made the situation worse, feeling the cold iron on my exposed back. esteban had noticed me at that moment and, when he finished rolling his cigarette and put the pack of tobacco back in his pocket, he asked me "do you want to go back inside?" with a cigarette in his mouth. he was more handsome than ever, carefree hair, cheeks and nose red from the cold and bright eyes.

“no don't worry” i told him smiling “i just have to get used to it” he nodded, looking at me then at the ground. he leaned on the railing next to me, lighting his cigarette and releasing the smoke in little clouds from his mouth. i felt nervous: i didn't know what to say and i was freezing to death. “maybe you want my jacket?” he asked me suddenly, turning to look down at me. he smiled and as I nodded he gave it to me. i put it on and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. “oh my god, thank you so much.” he just gave me his jacket. that was completely normal, no need to act strange. right?

“so,” he said, leaning on the railing, taking a drag on his cigarette, “what are you going to do now that filming is over?” he released the smoke and turned to me. “i think i'll go back to studying, i have a degree to get” i laughed but immediately stopped as soon as i realized that my life from that moment on would never be the same again. i had to go back to my old boring routine. “and you?" i asked him curiously “will you continue acting?” i knew that esteban had always been an actor, and a very talented one, but maybe he had other plans for his future?

“i'll go back to acting in the theater” he replied, smiling at me “i'm very happy to have taken part in this movie, but the theater is my life” every time i heard him talk to others about the theater i saw how excited he was and how his eyes shone. it was nice to see him get excited about what he loved, he had the purest soul. “that’s nice! maybe i’ll come and see how you’re doing sometimes.” i said grinning and smiling at the same time. “i would be very happy if you did” he told me in a flirty tone, getting closer to my face. but laughed it off beacuse i was too embarrassed even just to look in his eyes.

the conversation went on without problems, we talked about this and that, laughing and joking. but after a while we realized that we had been out for almost two hours. “maybe we should go back” i told him, shrugging my shoulders and looking inside: enzo had just put “vivo” by gustavo cerati, one of my favorite songs, on the stereo, and i wanted to go inside with esteban to sing it. “yeah here, i'll finish this cigarette in a minute.” he replied, turning his back on me.

perhaps because of the alcohol or perhaps because all of a sudden i felt particularly brave, i let my body adhere perfectly to his, resting my chin on his shoulder and closing my eyes. everything was perfect: that night, the background music, the stars, him. i felt him relax at my touch and take the last drag of his cigarette before putting it out. he moved from his position and so did i from mine. we found ourselves facing each other and looking into each other's eyes for what seemed like hours, but then he put one hand on my cheek and the other on my waist. i slightly jumped at that contact, but it didn't bother me: it was what i had been waiting for since the first moment my eyes met his.

“can i tell you something?” he asked me in a whisper, his gaze not leaving mine. “yes please.” i answered immediately, eager to know what he wanted to tell me. some time passed before he spoke again, until he finally said “ "i just really enjoy spending time with you and you really have become someone very special to me and-" my eyes lit up the moment he started talking, in that very moment i was admiring him in all his beauty. “oh fuck it” he said exasperated, as he couldn't find the words to finish his speech. so the hand that was resting on my waist reached my cheek, caressing it, and his lips rested softly on mine.

it was a sweet kiss, his lips were cautious on mine, and i could feel him smiling. he broke away from the kiss and ran his thumb over my lips, smiling at me. i knew i was blushing unexpectedly but i felt reassured when i saw a bit of embarrassment on his face too. “as much as i would love to stay here with you all evening, we really have to go back now.” i told him, looking up and chuckling softly. “yes, maybe you’re right.” he replied, letting me go. when we returned, agustin approached us, more drunk than ever, who immediately hugged esteban. “kuku! where were you? we were looking for you! why are you blushing?” he asked, looking serious and inspecting his face. “i'm not blushing, it's just very hot.” esteban replied embarrassed, looking away. luckily i was behind him and agustin didn't see me laugh.

”kuku, it's literally snowing as we speak” i looked outside and yes, it was snowing. in that moment i started laughing, the situation was just too crazy, while agustin looked at me with an interrogative gaze, he wasn't understanding what was happening. as soon as i finished laughing i said “sorry, i'm going to get a glass of water.” as soon as i turned i headed towards the kitchen, winking at esteban. the last thing i could hear was agustin talking to him “you have to tell us everything, everything!”

Women's Spring Athletic Wear - APR 2024

Sharing another lookbook this week since I'm feeling quite inspired to Sim even though work has been kicking my tush! I'm looking forward to a weekend of being lazy and Simming, just need to make it through the next 3 days!

I decided to give my my original Sim, Penelope Nieves a bit of a makeover and use her as my model. I LOVE how the lavender/purple colors compliment her skin tone as well as the spring season. Enjoy!

10 BL Boys I Want Carnally

Thanks to @nieves-de-sugui for inspiring a mini freak out because I couldn’t figure out if I wanted to be on them or on each other.

In no particular order

1. HaoTing- sweet golden retriever

My OG himbo. Took my man a minute but when he went in he 110% committed. Put his whole self into loving XiGu. I don’t think anyone but Wayne Song could have made me like him but man did he make it work

2. Porsche-beloved chaos gremlin

I know the series ended being hit or miss for people but like it or not you have to agree Apo is freaking PRETTY. Ok this is less about the character and more about the actor but who cares. Whenever I see a picture of Apo there is a 85% chance my first thought is going to be “holy shit he’s pretty”

3. Jeng-DADDY

No I won’t elaborate or apologize. You know exactly what I’m talking about

4. Gumpa- competence kink for the win

He was the only one with the brain cell and I love him ok? Gumpa gave no shits White randomly showed up pretending to be Black, he just adopted him and taught him how to survive

5. Mhok- bestest green flag bad boy

This one was a total surprise for me. No hate to Jimmy he just doesn’t usually do anything for me. But I love me a damaged bad boy with a heart of gold

6. Mizuki- it’s the dom energy ok?

Boy was somehow the king of communication and miscommunication but he also nailed the domination and I have a kink ok. Though he is also a good example of me wanting him but also wanting him to want Yoh more haha

7. Yai and Sand-the cutest couple to ever couple

I know it’s kind of cheating but I refuse to split them up. Look they shouldn’t have introduced Sand the way they did unless they wanted me to fall in love with her and Yai is the king of whipped a he gets included

8. Yuna-the queen

I don’t care what the list is I will find a way to put her on it ok

9. AiDi- my little feral murder kitten

The love I have for AiDi is unlimited and if any show could get a season two I’d want it to be about him

10. Jeff Satur- king of gender envy

Ok another kind of cheat but this is less about a character and more about the actor. Jeff was the first time I felt true gender envy and he just won’t stop

40k & D&D crossover

So I've been playing with this idea for a couple of years now and only just recently started to work on it in earnest. So there will be headcanon posts coming/drabbles

So the D&D portion is based off of a homebrew (not mine I'm just a player) but I was making characters based off of the Primarchs and so I then decided hey why not expand upon this.

(God this is going to be messy as it's been ages since I've written last and somehow I recently got my ADHD ass dragged into lusting over COD men so forgive me)

The basis of this is all based on the fact that when Magnus fell to Chaos his soul got shattered (unsure if this was retconed or not) so one of these shards decided to save his brothers and through various points in time (and occasionally a space marine or two because time if flux for this Magnus shard)

* Debating on how much they actually know or if it's all Horus Heresy era knowledge. So when they all were brought to this new place the Heresy was still raw for them all. However they are all free from the corrupting influence of Chaos.

The brothers travelled together, which for a medieval setting they were practically a small warband of godlings, unsure of how long they travelled but during that time of them all figuring out their new home without Chaos or the Emperor around they helped Angron with his butchers nails.

Eventually the brothers split either due to a disagreement or just they found a part of the world they wanted to call home but eventually they split apart and each decided to start their own family.

Please let me know if anyone is interested in learning more as I'll need some help with names, classes, and races for some of them.

[shadesoflsk]

I just watched La Sociedad de La Nieve and I can't explain what a masterpiece it was.

I loved the fact that Numa was the narrator because we could see the other side of the coin. Not only the perspective of those who survived but the ones that sadly couldn't.

I struggle to get into movies. Most of the times I'm just an observer, but dear God... The crash scene was really immersive. I felt shivers run down my spine when I saw it. It was graphic but not overall morbid like most movies.

The Catholic undertones? Greatly achieved. I nearly cried with "No hay amor más grande que el que da la vida por sus amigos," it really hit too close home because, after all, everyone was looking out for the other.

And that last part? When everyone was getting ready to be rescued? Yeah, I was a crying baby.

To summarize, this film did a great job to truly illustrate what the survivors, the injured, and the dead had to go through in a respectful and not a sensationalist kind of way. I hope I can see the actors working on other projects, they nailed this performance.

biography:

Victoria was born into wealth, growing up she never had to worry about anything and she always got what she wanted. She was extremely spoiled, and she let everyone know it. It was basically tradition to become a lawyer in her. family, and then marry someone from law school. Her parents had done it, the same with her grandparents. She and her siblings were expected to do the same so there was a certain pressure on her growing up to do well, and get good grades. Victoria would never admit it but she never felt good enough and she put a lot of pressure on herself from a young age, not only to do well but to maintain a pristine reputation. Victoria only managed to avoid college for a year after she finished high school, she promised her parents she would go once she had traveled the world and that’s exactly what she did. At 19 she reluctantly enrolled in law school at NYU. Victoria struggled with the workload, she was smart enough but she lacked interest. But she managed to stick it out and even met a boy in her second year. It was exactly how her family planned it. Victoria believed she could easily get through it with his help. They were so in love, or so she thought. She was in her last year when she found out by snooping through his Snapchat and finding numerous explicit messages. A month or two later she was sitting on her bathroom floor staring at a positive pregnancy test. Her world was falling apart and she couldn’t even bring herself to tell her ex about the baby growing in her stomach - she didn’t even want the baby growing in her stomach. But the universe had other plans - a week after finding out she was in hospital undergoing emergency surgery due to an ectopic pregnancy. Here she was, stuck. She loved the city but it felt haunted now, and so did becoming a lawyer, so she dropped out only a few months away from graduating. Thankfully her parents didn't find out straight away. She knew she had to find something else to do so they didn't complain, enrolling in cosmetology school on a whim and somehow becoming obsessed with all things nails in the process but her family could only be in the dark so long. Victoria had one of her sisters come to visit, thinking she could trust her but when she returned to Aurora Bay, she told their parents, causing them to block Tori from accessing her trust fund. This caused Vicki to return with her tail between her legs, attempting to repair what she'd broken with her family. She moved into an apartment by herself and got herself a job at the local salon to prove she could be responsible and stand on her own two feet but her relationship with her entire family remains strained. @aurorabayaesthetic

Tagged by@nieves-de-sugui. Thanks, dearie!

RULES: bold the ones that are true & tag 10 people to do it. (I'm not big on meme tagging, and anyway, I seem to be one of the last people on the planet to get around to this thing.)

APPEARANCE

blonde hair // I prefer loose clothing to tight clothing // I have one or more piercings // I have at least one tattoo // I have dyed or highlighted my hair // I have gotten plastic surgery // I have or had braces // I sunburn easily // I have freckles // I paint my nails // I typically wear makeup // I don’t often smile // I am pleased with how I look // I prefer Nike to Adidas // I wear baseball hats backwards

I've wanted to get some piercings in my ears for a few years now but between brokeness and covid stuff I haven't gotten around to it yet. Someday?

I have two tattoos. One is a reference to a song by a band I used to know and the other is in honor of my kids but also some stuff from my own childhood. Both were done by a close friend of mine. A lot of people don't realize I have them, especially the first one, which is on my ribcage. I want to get more tattoos but that may be tough since I can't go back to Texas anytime soon and the idea of working with a new artist here is a huge bummer--no one could take the place of my friend.

I just got my balayage re-done, with purplish ash blond bits, and it's the best thing I've ever done to my hair. Now if the weather would just cool off enough for me to be able to wear it down!

I had cosmetic surgery in middle school to make my ears stick out less.

I'm not super depressed most of the time but I'm prone to anhedonia (difficulty experiencing positive emotions) so I don't smile much and I seldom laugh aloud. Though since I started ADHD meds I started laughing a bit more, which has been nice.

I used to wear makeup a lot more, but I have allergy stuff that makes it hard to wear eye makeup so I've gotten out of the habit. I miss it. It was a good source of gender euphoria.

I'm not displeased with how I look, but saying I'm pleased with it seems a bit strong.

HOBBIES & TALENTS

I play a sport // I can play an instrument // I am artistic // I know more than one language // I have won a trophy in some sort of competition // I can cook or bake without a recipe // I know how to swim // I enjoy writing // I can do origami // I prefer movies to tv shows // I can execute a perfect somersault // I enjoy singing // I could survive in the wild on my own // I have read a new book series this year // I enjoy spending time with friends // I travel during work or school breaks// I can do a handstand.

I can play both guitar and piano, but not very well at all.

I love doing visual art but got out of the habit over the years. I always tell myself that someday I'll go back and take some classes or something, when I have more free time. I would love that. For now I just draw things for my kids sometimes.

I can cook without a recipe but I can't bake without one. That way lies madness.

I swim about as well as I play piano and guitar--I can get it done but it may not be that aesthetically pleasing.

Sometimes I enjoy writing. Other times it's more like a compulsion.

I've read books this year but none that were part of a series so far. The last time I read a series was probably when I read Trollope's Barchester Chronicles a couple of years ago. My latest non-series book was Manning Marable's biography of Malcolm X (the audiobook version, which I highly recommend).

I very rarely get to travel and I'm a bit envious of those who do.

RELATIONSHIP

I am in a relationship // I have been single for over a year // I have a crush // I have a best friend who I’ve known for ten years // my parents are together// I have dated my best friend // I am adopted // my crush has confessed to me // I have a long distance relationship // I am an only child // I give advice to my friends // I have made an online friend // I met up with someone I have met online

Today is my 16th anniversary with my partner (our getting together anniversary, not the wedding one, which is in December). He was my best friend when we started dating.

The friend I'm closest to at the moment is someone I've only known for about four years. I do have some close friends I've known a lot longer, though.

Making online friends and meeting them in "real life" is the best. It's been way too long since I did that. I've made some really important friends that way, including a friend who was my person of honor at my wedding and one of my closest friends in the city where I currently live.

AESTHETICS

I have heard the ocean in a conch shell // I have watched the sun rise // I enjoy rainy days //I have slept under the stars // I meditate outside // the sound of chirping calms me // I enjoy the smell of the beach // I know what snow tastes like // I listen to music to fall asleep // I enjoy thunderstorms // I enjoy cloud watching // I have attended a bonfire // I pay close attention to colors // I find mystery in the ocean // I enjoy hiking on nature paths // autumn is my favorite season

I'm a huge fan of rain and storms. Even though it rains a lot in the PNW, I still miss Central Texas rain. The drizzly days here are nice, don't get me wrong, and overall the weather suits me far better. But I miss big, hard rains with thunder and stuff. I could go for one of those freaky horizontal deluges with golfball-sized hail and thunder that shakes your house. I don't want to be out in it, or not for long. But I'd love to look out the window at one right about now.

Freud wrote about an "oceanic" feeling where human beings have a sense of oneness with the universe (his friend coined the term and he ran with it). It's not a coincidence that this term references the ocean. The ocean just has an effect on the human psyche/nervous system that we haven't begun to understand.

MISCELLANEOUS

I can fall asleep in a moving vehicle // I am the mom friend // I live by a certain quote // I like the smell of sharpies // I am involved in extracurricular activities // I enjoy Mexican food // I can drive a stick shift // I believe in true love // I make up scenarios to fall asleep // I sing in the shower // I wish I lived in a video game // I have a canopy above my bed // I am multiracial // I am a redhead // I own at least 3 dogs

I'm only a mom friend on request and with people I'm close to, but I enjoy my mom friend duties when I get the chance.

Are there people who don't enjoy Mexican food? I miss Tex-Mex so danged much.

Sometimes when I can't fall asleep I make up stories. One of my go-to things is stuff that that might happen after the endings of Austen novels. For example, if Mr. Darcy is going to be Jane Bennet's brother-in-law he is going to have to apologize for the bullshit he pulled when he interfered in her relationship with Bingley. And he'd better do a good job, too.

My favorite song to sing in the shower is Great Potential by Freakwater.

I'm usually shy about tagging so I'm going to forego it this time but if you're reading this, please feel free to use me as an excuse to do this!

13, 18 (something from Men of Mystics!), 29, and 36!

13. What is a subject matter that is incredibly difficult for you write about? What is easy?

Hmm... I feel like the hardest and easiest thing is writing characters uniquely. In bigger projects, I care about the characters and put a lot of effort into making them feel like they have depth and are themselves - butttttt also it's hard to not make everyone sound like me. I think the effort shines through, but the social aspects of characters is really difficult for me, esp when I want them to come across a certain way

18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end. Spicy addition: Questioner provides the passage.

(WAUGH I MISS MEN OF MYSTICS SO I'LL GIVE A PREVIEW OF VERY FAR INTO THE FUTURE)

"Well aren't you just a bundle of contradiction." Flea mused.

"Pardon?" Harland asked.

Flea sauntered up to harland, circling around him as he spoke.

"A friend to both sides of the war." He swatted harlands hair from his shoulder, watching it fall as harland avoided eye contact. "A pacifist whose work has made weapons."

Harland opened his mouth to defend himself, but flea dragged his finger across his chest. Harland couldn't help but get distracted as the generals nail tugged at his collar.

"I don't make weapons." He said, unable to hide the slight waver in his voice.

Flea pouted at him condescendingly. "You may not make them, but would they exist without you?"

Harland clenched his jaw.

"Even when you fight-"

"I don't fight." Harland interrupted.

"EVEN WHEN YOU FIGHT," Flea continued, "you are offensively defensive."

Flea smiled, enjoying Harland struggling to keep himself composed. He stood in front of him, tracing his jawline. "What a contradictory mess of a man…”

SO.... This is one of the core moments for harland that I wanted to get right... So here's the draft of it so far lol. I wanted this confrontation in particular to not only question Harlands actions and involvement in the war, but also to show how his character is starting to fracture.

The initial conception of harland was just to give Magus an epic boyfriend to be gay with, but as I also wanted it to be a love letter to his character, as Harland developed more I realised that the ONLY way I wanted to write a romance like this, would be to explore the good AND bad of both Harland and Magus. It's a little difficult to explain, but I want the two men to rub off on each other (😏) and slowly corrupt until they need to question their very core and ideals. Like, think about it... A war lord and a pacifist being together is.. So strange. I knew early on in creating this story that harland would start off nieve and relatively sheltered in his point of view, and that you as the reader would get hints towards the fact that harland is an unreliable narrator and that it will become more apparent when he starts to crack. Harland will become Magus and Magus will become Harland, they will corrupt each other, they should've been more like each other, they should've stayed themselves. It's an all consuming romance that lasts beyond their time as a couple. And in this passage it only feels appropriate that Flea, a master of illusions, is the one to force him to see reality. But, yknow, in the provocative way he likes to do because it's just sooooo easy to get harland all flustered and it's really funny

29. Where do you draw your inspiration? What do you do when the inspiration well runs dry?

Literally anything and everything babbbeeeyyy!! I strongly believe that if you limit your inspiration and over think them, you're fucking yourself over. I feel like being inspired and letting inspiration come are different things, and you can't force either of them lol, you just gotta let it come as it will.

When I'm struggling to think of things, I'll often try to work backwards or go through inspiration things I've collected. It really helps to collect it all and keep it somewhere you can access easily enough, so you can go through it to try jog your memory. I'm sure some people have noticed that I tag a lot of interesting stuff for my characters Abe and Orc, and that's a pretty good example of what I mean by not limiting inspiration lol... Curating stuff in your mind can be really helpful cause you learn to look at and think of what parts inspired you, and how you wanna work on that inspiration with your skills and strengths.

ALSO another thing that helps when I'm feeling pretty dry is to just spitball and be curious. Curiosity is pretty straight forward, just ask questions and try to learn more about stuff and deepen your understanding of things, who knows what kinds of things you can be inspired by!! My st au is inspired by star trek and chrono trigger and mushrooms and hive minded parasites. Abe and Orc is inspired by the interesting things that happen in the mundane, by staircases and history and cutlery and genitals and the weird thresholds between strangers and friends. These all kinda sound disconnected but like.. They're so linked! Whenever the stories get to parts where you see how they're connected I hope you'll remember how strangely my brain collects and curates insp haha.

Like... Who knows!? Maybe you'll end up inspired listening to your friend talk about their dads worm farm, or while you're absently mindedly catching the bus home, or when you're passively watching a documentary on household appliances in Victorian England - things you'd never think you could relate to what you want to work on. A varied creative diet is important, and I also think recognising the fact that things that DON'T inspire you (ie, that actively pisses me off / feel negative insp for this) can be just as helpful as things that do >:)

36. They say to Write What You Know. Setting aside for a moment the fact that this is terrible advice...what do you Know?

I know that I know nothing... Soooo... Who give a shit.

I think a lot of people get caught up in like... 'I don't know [subject matter] so I shouldn't write it!!!1!" BUT it's contradictory when the same kinds of people write escapist fantasies about being rich and having it all. You can draw some very real and evocative scenarios from transforming your lived experiences into fiction and explore them- but I don't think people should discount that we KNOW we want to write things bigger than ourselves... I try to follow more of a "I KNOW when it feels good" for whatever purpose I'm writing for. If I wrote exclusively in what I "know," there'd probably be too much repetitive and boring shit because I only "know" so much
