From The Sun and the Craftsman:

“Ashur, what is this place?” Darius asks, following him into the shade of the long building, toward the door leading inside.

I'll be tagging @lyra-brie, @papercutsunset, and @p-bee-writes to share their last lines if they so choose :)

2024 Writing Year in Review

Tagged by @kimberbohwrites @darkurgetrash and @purpleasters-inseptember so I guess I have to do it! (spoiler i was going to do it anyway!)

Tagging: @sorceresssundries @elspethdekarios

Words Posted: 92,582 between AO3 and the one shots I have on tumblr

Words Unposted: 23,234 - 90% of this is part of a fic I've been writing about my DAI Inquisitor Brinni and Cullen and their love story, which I will start posting this month. I also have a few short pieces in progress about Leni x Solas (planning on making a three part thing), and a couple half-baked things for one of my DAV Rooks, Evangeline x Davrin

Fandom: BG3 and Dragon Age Highest Kudos: The Snake and The Crow, 121 kudos (which floors me bc it's only 4 chapters in)

Highest One-Shot Hits: I'm cheating here because my most popular one-shots are on tumblr. That's Midnight at the Elfsong with 345 notes

Blorbo of the Year: Can I say all of them? I'd have to say Auroria (BG3) and Brinni (even though I've never really posted here about her) and Bianca (TSaTC)

New Things I Tried: WRITING! I didn't start writing creatively until the end of March when I got brainrot for Auroria and Gale's relationship I decided to write a story for the first time and was brave enough to toss it online. I discovered I am pretty good at and really enjoy writing smut. I discovered I have the creativity to work outside of the confines of the canon and write for NPCs (hellooooo Viper!) and post-game stuff (Midwinter in Waterdeep). I'm very proud of myself for taking the leap into this new creative outlet.

Fics/Authors I Recommend from 2024:

Anything by @sorceresssundries - Stars of Simril is a forever fave, but her new fic "The Warden's Watcher" is so so so good

Broken Horizons by @cheerysmores is one of my fave fics (still in progress!) OH AND ALSO You Will Come Back because it's about Brinni

Let Me Recite Their Demise by BestSandwichEver on AO3

Home and Heart by @callmethebrightness (hehe it's about Brinni too)

Writing Goals for 2025: Keep having fun, keep trying new things, keep loving my blorbos!

Happy New Year everyone! Hope you all have a great 2025!

hello!! i used to frequent your ask box as pointe anon (ballet anon??? i don’t remember, i had this emoji 🩰) and i just wanted to say that the stars and their children is one of the multiple inspirations for a new Big Fic AU im writing :D it’s also vaguely inspired by the chaos gods of warhammer 40k and a bit of steampunk but in space, and it’s the first time i’m actually putting the effort in to plan individual chapters instead of just one big outline so thank you for inspiring me first of all to write big fics, and second for tsatc giving me the seed years ago to finally do something now <3

omg hi!!! that's so sweet! building big fic aus is so fun and I wish you the best of luck with that. I'm so happy to hear my silly story inspired you <33

The starling and the coyote... TSATC

the coyote and the starling is lwk a banger story name but i don’t love the acronym… tcats,,, tcts,,, idk

[welleducatedinfant]

ok listen seeing lovejoy whipped ass but meeting bee @bonesandthebees in the queue is something I’m going to think about forever. I’m such a big fan and when I’m having a hard time remembering why I want to pursue a writing career, I always go back to stars and world forgetting and am reminded :)

The Shop Around the Corner (1940) dir. Ernst Lubitsch

[writingisawarzone]

So. . . I’ve been gone for over a year now, and have only recently come back to ao3, and if you haven’t heard yet, I’m sad to say that in my return, I’ve decided to discontinue ‘The Soldier and the Carnal Skeletons’. Ive just lost the motivation for the story and just want to rewrite it into something else. It’ll still be the same concept, and Reader will still be Dom as hell, but I want to write it as Male Reader, and also change up some stuff. Like, I plan on having more skeletons- specifically adding Papyrus alternatives.

But, TSatCS is discontinued, and maybe one day I’ll find motivation to come back to it, but not now.

Im still writing stories! So don’t worry about that, and ‘You Don’t Know What you’ve lost, Until Shes gone’ is still being continued! So if you were a fan of that one, you’re in luck! I might be slow at updating it, but I’m still working on it!

I’m actually working on a new story right now that has two chapters posted to ao3 called ‘Schrödinger’s Cat’ if you want something fresh.

And TSatCS won’t be the only Dom Reader insert I ever write, there will be more in the future, so don’t worry if you were afraid of losing a source of Dom Reader Inserts!

I won’t be answering anymore scenario questions on TSatCS anymore, so I’m sorry to those poor souls who were left to rot in my inbox. But anything else is on the table, you can ask whatever you want as long as it’s not TSatCS scenarios.

And if you want a little more information on why I have been gone for so long, I explained it here;

[bonesandthebees]

hello bones!

how are you doing today?

i seem to remember that you were planning to rewrite tsatc with original names and turn it into a published book at some point? Is that still a thing?

-🥏

hello frisbee anon!! I'm doing alright, had to do some cleaning this morning so I'm a bit tired but nothing too bad

while I still want to rewrite stars into an original novel, I realized that because of how long the story is I'll definitely have to get some other smaller novels published under my belt before anyone would be willing to take on a 200k+ word behemoth like that. so at the moment it's on indefinite hold while I try to see if there are other stories of mine I have the drive to rewrite into original novels. plus I'm also just busy with a lot of irl stuff atm so things are slow going anyway

.....(My dude, I can’t get this question out of my head...) What if She Alpha from my fic met AMitS Sans and TDtLU Black?

(Heyo Wz -uo what an interesting question you’ve sent me….)(also I hope I’m writing She-Alpha right here bhsebshens I did my best ;u;)

AMitS: Man, I’m gonna think she’d hate AMitS Sans with passion. I mean, I’ve seen how she is to Red in your fic and while AMitS Sans doesn’t exactly, er… Emit “Asshole Vibes”, he is dangerous, cunning, and always be’d looking for a way to slip the rug from under you. If say, they’d bump on the street, She-Alpha is someone Sans would not want to mess around with, since he’d think she’s more trouble for ‘business’ than what other things he could get from her… And if she’d known what he does her first thought would probably be to punch him square on the jaw, hahah.Now if she were to be in the position of the reader… Let’s say the murder didn’t trigger anything in her mind, and She-Alpha understands that fighting him right then and there wouldn’t be the best option to do. She goes away from the area rather than fleeing like how reader did, picking up a fight where it’s unnecessary will probably be more of a pain… She’d know that police won’t exactly help her either (perhaps, through experience…) And she goes home bitterly.Meanwhile, Sans starts to follow this firm, strong and “not-taking-your-bs” lady.I’d imagine the scene in the subway would be… Not exactly different on Sans’ part. I see She-Alpha as taller than AMitS reader since… She is smol… And Sans enjoys that very much… But he wouldn’t mind the taller stature. He’s still bigger and stronger physically (and magically) anyways. She wouldn’t notice him for awhile, and when she did, she’d absolutely face him head on, unlike reader who’d make herself look smaller and hope he didn’t notice her. Sans shrugs at her, saying a simple “hello,” and pretends not to know her just to get her teeth gritting. He’d grab her as soon as she tried to get away from him, dragging her close and stopping her from pulling any punches, saying things like “hey… we’re in public… don’t wanna cause commotion ‘r hurt other people here, do we..?”While Sans has fun ‘playing around’ with AMitS reader with overflowing confidence he’ll take her… Sans would press and coerce She-Alpha more, even possibly letting her go the first meeting, start a game that She-Alpha has absolutely no intentions in partaking in… Probably try to punch him a lot of times but Sans won’t fight her, he’d just keep avoiding any starts to a fight…(If they did fight, I think they’d be quite matched, like how she was in your fic… Except AMitS (Fell) Sans is more aware of the power that She-Alpha has and is in no rush to get in a fight with her…)

TDtLU: If She-Alpha wasn’t in reader’s position, it’d be kinda funny… I doubt She-Alpha’s going to get much swayed by a sea-dwelling monster. Black wouldn’t be as inclined to kill her as say, most other humans he’d encounter on land…  His biggest motivator are humans going wide eyed and running away from him or screaming at him… He hates that, he thinks it’s annoying… “rude…” They were the ones stepping into his territory in the first place. But She-Alpha..? She’d just take a look at him and go “… Ok,” and just ignore him like you would a seagull that’d just land. Unlike in TSatCS though, she’d understand he’s sentient because it is common knowledge in TDtLU that monsters are sentient. When Black climbs out the waters looking for his mate and sees a human… He’d go alert for a second until he recognizes She-Alpha’s face, and go “oh, it’s her.” He doesn’t mind her being in his territory at all, and she isn’t bothered either. Oddly enough… Her presence would be the second most calming thing to Black, because she’s relaxed with him… He won’t be like he is to reader, and he’s not hostile to her either so… Win-win.She-Alpha as reader, now…When she sees the figure on the pier, she’d tilt her head at him… Huh. A rare sight… Someone else other than her.She isn’t exactly… An emotional person in the way reader is, open, and asking if you’re ok… She doesn’t want to go to him at first, maybe she should just leave, it’s not her problem.… But she doesn’t leave for some reason. She curses at herself and she walks up to him and says something along the lines of “Hey… You ok, buddy?”Black is going to be very put off at how stiff she seemed, patting his back maybe a little too hard and not showing any smiles at him, seeming like she doesn’t want to be there at the moment. But she’ll try… She’d ask how he’s going, and she’d get the same answers as TDtLU reader did, she’d try to gently(?) comfort him… And eventually talk about how much she likes Skull Reef. Black is pretty amused at how stiff she seems… But she’s trying. She’s trying to help him out, even if she wasn’t ‘the best’ at it. He appreciates her a whole lot, and his soul melts at the earnest way she talks about Skull Reef. So he chases after her…When She-Alpha is on the boat and he chases after her like he did in TDtLU… I see her being in a bit of a shock, in a state of “What the fuck-” As opposed of TDtLU reader’s complete shock and freeze instinct. Black would be coming over to her with wide eyelights, saying how much he adored her and how much he wanted her… She alpha is strong physically but let’s assume she’s too much in a shock to react when Black comes over to her… He’d also see that she would be more effective in resisting him (than TDtLU reader) so he’d make it quick, grab her, and jump into the ocean.… She-Alpha is NOT happy when she wakes up at the sea floor in a cave being held down by skeletal hands and tentacles, and quickly getting blue-magicked when she tries to fight him off… The bone-cage would come much earlier with her, oh no;;;

The Soldier and the Carnal Skeletons - GB Sanses

PART 1: Blueberry and Sans

PART 2: Axe and Red

My interpretation of @writingisawarzone 's characters Blue and Sans from their fanfiction "The Soldier and the Carnal Skeletons".

They probably aren’t really Gaster Blaster Versions of themselves, but with all their growling and instinctual behaviour I immediately thought they were more GB like. So I had a little bit of fun designing them.

Right now I am working on Red’s design.

Axe (Horror) already has one, but I couldn’t post more than 10 pictures and then I though I could wait a little bit more until I have Red’s Design.

[writingisawarzone]

wHEEZE- praise the booteth

I might love this a little too much-

Little chibis of silly thoughts for the story man. (blue a hoe one is a joke on @writingisawarzone‘s page and I agree man) Also, She-Omega and her ass was needed man. You can not tell me red would praise it before everyone else.

[nitrateglow]

Have you seen The Shop Around the Corner? I just saw it and really enjoyed it.

I saw it years ago. I don't remember much about it, actually-- I remember more of the remake with Judy Garland, but really only the scenes with Buster Keaton and the violin.

TSATC is due for a rewatch, I think.
