Not a drop.

Never change how deeply you think, feel, or love. ✌️

Sink or Swim EP

[zombeesknees]

What's this, Angie? Why, it seems that Blurb is doing ANOTHER THING. And this one is until June 5th!

Use NETWORK25. Pick up some indie books -- *YOU* get some fun reads and *I* can buy some cat food.

Historical fantasy, Western-style.

SO VERY QUEER.

Righteous Black Widows (because some men need to fall off ladders and be fed to pigs).

Colorful cast of characters.

What if small towns were NEAT and KIND and LOVED YOU unconditionally?

The world's saddest (and loveliest) werewolf (who finally gets everything he deserves).

Gremlins and witches and ghosts and dragons, OH YEAH!

(Take a look at how pretty this town is!)

Volumes One | Two | Three | Four | Five | Six | Seven.

Historical fantasy, Golden Age of Piracy-style.

ALSO SO VERY QUEER.

The ship's called The Sappho, because I am THAT obvious.

Know what the world needs more of? SEXY MERMEN.

When piracy *is* the more ethical option.

Ladies that slay (sometimes literally).

Just a touch of monsterfucking...

(Take a look at how pretty this crew is!)

Interconnected short stories, perfect for when you've got just twenty minutes for a quick read.

The Search for Aveline | The Sanctuary of Nalani

Paranormal noir -- think Sam Spade, but with zombies!

Literal femme fatales/vamps.

Odd couple detective partners (Virgil is a goofy charmer of a werepanther; War is a sad vampire with a soft spot for damsels in distress).

Mads Mikkelsen as a mad werewolf! Rami Malek as a tragic mummy!

Angels and witches and voodoo cults and Mexican death gods, OH MY!

These totally unconnected cases couldn't POSSIBLY have anything in common... *nudge nudge, wink wink*

Each book is a fully standalone mystery!

(Take a look at the faces behind Gam & Meriweather & Yoo!)

Sorry, We're Dead | Sorry, We're Dead: Clover & Curses

Greek Gods in modern times.

A bit soap opera (but like a racy soap opera on HBO at midnight).

The Olympus Crew was like, "So, we kinda fucked up with WWII. Maybe we need to live amongst humans again and try to stop shit like that from happening again..."

Familiar names; new faces (aka: a diverse facecast worthy of divine characters).

Classic couples (Dionysus/Ariadne; Perseus/Andromeda) and brand new twists (Hephaestus/Hestia, OH YES; Bellerophon/Pandora; Hedone/Hercules; Narcissus/Adonis/Ganymede).

Interconnected short stories!

Volume One | Volume Two | Volume Three

One really weird road trip -- Supernatural meets The X-Files!

Only the best parts of Americana, like the world's largest paint ball, Meow Wolf, and The Winchester Mystery House.

Dark (sometimes literally) family secrets.

The best way to delay adulthood: drive cross-country with your twin and best friend, learning how to throw knives from carnies and talking to ghosts along the way!

Super NON-identical twins (she's the one with the tats and mouth of a sailor; he's the sweetheart who's always stuck inside his own head).

Asexual and bisexual rep in the primary cast!

Entire story is wrapped in two volumes.

You'll never guess what Robbie is short for...

...And YES, you can absolutely visit all of the places referenced in this! Have your very own Weird, USA road trip!

(Take a look at the gang!)

Volume One | Volume Two

are we gonna sink or swim? / tide's getting high, and we might go under

thinking we should jump right in / 'cause if we don't now, then we'll always wonder

feeling like a drop in the ocean / these days I've been swimming through a mix of emotions

but hey / even if the sun burns out, stars falls down i’ma be there with you

even when our heads get loud thinking about are we gon' make it through

tell me, are we gonna sink or swim? / tide's getting high, yeah, we might go under

thinking we should jump right in ‘cause if we don't now, then we'll always wonder

jumping right in, yeah, we jumping right in, oh / are we gonna sink or swim?

tide’s getting high and we might go under

are we gonna, are we gonna, are we gonna sink or swim?

( one republic, sink or swim )

impossible never has stopped you before

A poem about Buck during the Tsunami Arc. 788 words

You jump in the water, forgetting to breathe, and you don't even feel getting hit by debris. The ocean is violent, it's spinning you round, and you know that you're screaming but can't hear a sound. You're desperate and careless, ignoring the risks; the more time that passes the more you feel sick. You search and you search as the wave goes back out and you've never in your whole life been more devout.

Sink or swim

My current friendships are shallow;

above the surface, 

easy to see and understand, 

easy to leave when things get hard,

easy not to get attached

…for some of us.

 ~

For me though, 

it’s too easy to imagine forever after a day of laughter, 

to imagine years after minutes of sharing fears, 

to imagine eternity with people that hardly know me. 

My current friendships are shallow, 

but I’m in the deepest parts, 

ready sink or swim, ready to jeopardise my heart.                                 

~~~

Note: Hey loved, dw i'm not dead Alhamdulilahi. Wanted to share this little poem about a type of love that isn't written about enough, the love within friendships. Hopefully you guys enjoy it, byee!

"Yeah, you guys can't?" Adam genuinely believed all three of them could breathe underwater, and then bree and chase had to make that turnaround from "Wait, you guys didn't know i could do that and you sent me down there anyway?" to "You did it!" real quick
