#OPEN TAG

[mycupofrum]

I loved seeing the Draw Drarry Badly Challenge last year so this year I decided to join in on the fun!

Here's Harry and Draco badly concealing their tension.

Get to know me tag

thanks for the tag @honeybewrites

Rules: Answer the questions because I want to get to know you better :D

Do you have any pets?

I have cats.

Comfort food?

Ooooooo…that’s a hard one. Ice cream is always a good choice.

How many languages do you speak?

Native English speaker. Took Spanish in High School, but forgot most of it in the intervening years. I know enough French that I can ask for directions, hale a cab, or order a meal. I know a few words in Latin, German, Gaelic, and Hawaiian.

Random fact about yourself

I enjoy archery.

Something you’re proud of?

Finally getting a WIP done. Always struggled with seeing writing done from start to finish. Now A Feather in the Forest is nearing completion, I feel accomplished.

top ten posts of 2024

@leahnardo-da-veggie [x] and @illarian-rambling [x] both got me. JetBlackCode has a program that will pull your data for you.

I said "Fuck that I'll do it myself."

My pinned post is still standing after ADHD beat my ass into nuking my old blog in August.

Leah asked if I cut anything from DMLS so I hit the dash with 1.1k words of "And then I realized they were in a time loop conspiring against me."

The time I caught cold and invited you perverts to ask me inappropriate questions was a highlight of my year.

Somebody asked, "Why is Royston short"

Doom Metal Love Story Book 1 made it onto AO3 in its entirety.

Gioia gave me an excuse to announce that yes, I did world-build for DMLS, I didn't just get egregiously high and listen to extreme metal for six weeks straight.

I doodled the cutest doodle of Sullivan and Royston that I'm ever going to doodle in my life.

Someone reblogged a post about objectum and a week later I posted a short story about gun-fucking.

A few people enjoyed my unhinged inability to understand the rise in puritanism in media.

Guy of all time Cole Sullivan got a character profile thanks to Goldie's looking out.

I am going to tag my entire tag list and leave this bad boy open. If you want on, let me know.

About my manuscript..

I've been working on the same story for the past 7 years (oops) and just this past week I finished my final edit--before alpha readers, beta readers, soo much feedback and professional editing of course. But it's a big step forward, it almost doesn't feel real after spending so much time and brain space on it!

Anyway, big, exciting news that I wanted to share with you guys and tell you a little bit about the project that's been eating up my past near decade <3

Reblog with a little bit about your manuscript (or multiple) or anything you're working on right now writing wise :-) I'd love to hear about it!

8th Day of Writemas ❄️🎄🎅

Thank you so much @agirlandherquill for this tag game/writing prompt/writing challenge and for all of your support and kindness ❤️🤍💚 The rules and invitation post can be found here

For the Day 8 prompt I picked the dialogue prompt "I need more. I deserve more." This is perfect because I used it to improve on the dialogue for one scene in Chapter 1 of The Blood Cleaners. This scene is especially important to me because it's the "Theme Stated" beat of the Save the Cat! story beats. It's a flashback to where a much younger Justin makes his dream clear right before a stir of events that impact him later in the story.

Justin sat with Elena, Miriam, and Deirdre at the end of a table. Miriam sat across from him. He leaned forward. “One day, I’m going to be a blood cleaner.” Miriam slapped Justin in the cheek, as she always did whenever she believed he was lying. “I’m serious!” Miriam hit his face again. “Hey!” He leaned back. “You’ll see! Then we won’t need to live in this dump! I’ll make five times what Ellie does now!” Elena scowled. “Justin, I hope you’re joking because it’s not worth it.” “Yeah it is!” Elena shook her head. “A lot of blood cleaners die during the training.” Justin knew. It was said that the process to make blood cleaners, something called bioengineering, carried many fatalities with each recruitment season. He didn’t think it mattered when sooner or later he’d face the fate of many tunnelers - death by starvation, disease, scorpion stings, snakebites, or a work accident. “Mamá,” Deirdre said, “Justin should do whatever he wants to do. Isn’t that right Justin?” Justin hi-fived her. Elena frowned. “Don’t encourage him, Dee. We have what we need.” “Ellie!” Justin protested. “"I need more. I deserve more." Deirdre nodded. "He’s right, Mamá. Justin isn't going to help us or himself as a street cleaner. He deserves better. And he could change the whole city, not just our lives. Won't you Justin?" “Yeah, Ellie! Listen to your hija!” Elena rubbed her temples. “Regardless, we have to take one job at a time.”

Tag Game: How Cuddleable Are Your OCs?

Thanks to @willtheweaver for the tag here and @fourwingedwriter for the tag here!

Rules: Answer the above question using a scale from 1-10 and include context!

For the main cast of The Watcher and the Thief:

Hector: 3.5/10 Not a touchy-feely sort of person, the closest he'd get is a surprise hug from his apprentice.

Luc: 7/10 Depends on the person he's cuddling with, usually family like his siblings or close friends.

Octavian: 2/10 Avoids unnecessary physical touch if he can help it.

Rift: 8/10 He'd give a hug so he could pickpocket the person he's hugging.

Kaira: 6.5/10 No concept of personal space, but usually backs off if she senses discomfort. Usually.

WIP title game!

Thank you for the tag @illarian-rambling !

Rules: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

This game should be fun, as I have many silly names in my folders, most of which relate to the fandoms I wrote them for:

No Time to Cry

Descending the stairs

Bucky and the time he lived in the mountains with his murder daughters

Cadre-Coparenting - what could go wrong?

Shadow-hunting my - uh - multiple mental illnesses

Fourth Wing more like fortieth-wip

Character meets death (goes wholesome?)

TVDeeznuts

The Hunger-bar Games

Of Godparents and Aunt-sassins

Vigilante fic

A Glitch in the System

Who the fuck is Sally Sparrow? (plot twist she's me)

Re-do of Sally Sparrow except there's no Sally Sparrow and a completely different plot

Harry Potter and the job he should have gotten

Making my OC's be adopted by a bunch of adoring vampires is unrelated to my parental issues I promise

Oh fuck I'm doing a space fic, wops

Twi-mental breakdown -light

These are only the ones that I've actually written words for, each oth these has at least 2k of actual story-line, (some have significantly more, cough cough 115k Nttc), and that's still more than I thought there were whoops

That's... 18 fics there, honestly not sure if I know 18 people on here, but I'll try. Open tag as always for anyone I miss!

Beach Episode OG Tag ✨️

It's gonna take a long, long time but I just realized with horror and glee that I will eventually have the opportunity to write a 'beach episode' in my WIP 🌐7 Circles🌐 😂

So with that on my mind have another new tag game:

What would your ocs do in a beach episode? 🌊⛱️

Can they swim? Any activities they would particularly love or hate?

Kazimier 💋

Can't swim, never learned. Hates the sand. Doesn't like bright sun. Would spend her time under an umbrella drinking and judging people. Would shapeshift into a feminine body for the sole purpose of wearing a racy sexy swimsuit.

Klaus 🌻

He grew up in a desert and has probably never seen the ocean. His fae side would take over and he would be playing in the water, watching sea critters with wonder, and having (literal) magic moments with local plants while soaking up the sun.

Valian 🐁

He can doggy paddle, his thin little tail acting as a clumsy rudder. He can eat a surprising amount of watermelon and happily monches on slices- seeds, rind, and all- while watching the waves. Might pick a fight with a crab (he'd win though).

Seeker 🌠

Can swim, but struggles with cold seawater. Seeker spends time with each of the three others; laying out towels to lounge with Kaz, squealing as seaweed moves like snakes to Klaus' magic, and slicing watermelon to hand to Val. I think Seeker would be into building sandcastles and the other three would help in one way or another.
