Nine (or so) People You'd Like To Get To Know Better

I've been tagged twice in this game, so I should probably finally go ahead and do it. First by @drivingthesehillsaway like a week ago. Sorry I didn't reply sooner! I was in the middle of something and sent it to my drafts and then forgot about it. And I was tagged again today by @stealingyourbones. Both threads had a lot of replies, so I figured I'd just make a new chain.

Rules: Answer the 4 questions and tag 9 people you'd like to know better.

Last Song You Listened To:

It's a fantastic song. Everything by this artist is amazing and I cannot recommend him enough.

Currently Watching: I'm part of the way through a rewatch of Good Omens Season 2 because holy shit.

Currently Reading: Excluding fanfic, I'm most of the way through an audiobook of Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb. I took a break to watch Good Omens, though, but I think I can go back to it. A lot of exciting things are going down.

Current Obsession: Well, it should be pretty obvious that the main one is the DPxDC crossover fandom. But there's also Good Omens. And my hands are itching to pick up my crochet hook and finish the second panel of the blanket I'm making. It doesn't take much to rekindle my obsessions for Jane Austen, Newsies, and the Bandstand Musical, either.

And 9 people I'd like to know better! I'm gonna tag people I don't talk to very often (or ever) because this is who I want to know. (No pressure, though.) In no particular order, and this in no way encapsulates all of you:

@gremlin-bot, @addie-lover-of-stories, @sangotori, @sjrose1216, @vythika96, @thederpclub, @georgelight, @foxachu, @serasvictoria02

Last Line Challenge

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you like).

Thanks for the tag @lost-in-derry @mystical-salamander! Believe it or not, my last line is actually from an attempt at writing again LOL it's not going well, I am SO rusty 😆 But I've had this idea for a while now and I finally managed to eke out some coherent sentences. ---------

“And is there anything more you wish to disclose?”

Kallus didn’t answer right away, instead silently staring into the grim faces of Rebel Command. He didn’t know why but it was precisely in that moment that he felt the entire weight of all his injuries, the chaos and stress of the past few days seeping deep into his bones.

He was so tired.

“Agent Kallus?”

Not agent. Not anymore. Not ever. He wanted to correct them, again. Instead, he slowly ran his tongue over his fake molar, savoring the different texture until hitting the hidden pill at the base.

“...No sir.”

15 Lines of Dialogue Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

Thank you for the tag @coldshrugs and @impossible-rat-babies!

tagging: @myreia @roguelioness @janzoo @consulaaris @scionshtola

@ubejamjar @gatheredfates @bearlytolerant @gefiltefished and everyone else who wants to!

(sorry for the many paragraphs attempting to working around tumblr's new limit)

These are all Meryta / ffxiv, from published fics and WIPs, you also get a peak at my awful wip naming (contrasted with my struggles with fic naming 😂). This was more picking lines I liked and it's good to see your OCs voice? Actually helpful!

“I should have foreseen the danger. The beastmen, the Primal... those are not simple problems.” She can hardly forget it, leaping through the sky. She does not want to think of it, but if the time comes, she will deal with it. She folds her hand in his and reaches to kiss him. “I doubt your father expected you to deal with a Primal, Emmanellain.” - Reprieve

 Here we go again, she thinks, do you really want to do this again? “You should invite him to dinner,” she says out loud instead. - Distance

“Sorry, that was unjust of me. I’m just very worried about my friend. I spend a long time worried about where she was and if she even was alive and now – now I worry more.” - Wrong

“Emmanellain. You're handsome enough on your own. Stop it.” - The Perils of Ishgard Publishing

“You’re injured,” she murmurs. - Under Familiar Stars

“I wouldn’t say no to a game,” she says, tilting her head towards the cardplayers, and winks. “Here I thought I could offer your something better, in ways of entertainment.” “And what may that be, Tansui?” - Passing Through

“I wish I could stay,” she says, when she’s done with the second portion, “but – and I should help with cleanup,” she continues as she puts her dish in the sink, and he waves her off. - Solace and Breakfast

“I wanted to write this letter, but – words are eluding me.” “A letter? For whom?” [Alisaie asks] “It’s not important.” - Letters and Longing

“Yes. No. I am not.” - wip (relationship talk)

“I want – Tansui.” He bucks his hips into her hand and sucks [er nipple]. His hand on her hip, holding her in a bruising grip. She sinks her nails into his shoulders. “I can’t wait. I need you.” - wip (relationship talk)

“Come,” she says and grabs both Yugiri’s and Lyse’s arms. “We should have time enough to taste some food, and we can ask the trader all the same. If he doesn’t know him, we can spilt up after.” - wip (the steppe)

“I know how babies are made, if that is what you ask, Alphinaud.” - wip (after roadtrip)

“I am. What are you going to do about it?” - wip (another Tansui tryst)

“It was – “ meant for me, but she can’t voice it. Not now, and perhaps never. “—heroic,” she settles on. “He saved us all.” - wip (emmy grief)

“Maybe I’m not telling.” Tansui chuckles. “Well, if you’re so stuck on pirates, perhaps a handsome pirate has rescued a beautiful princess.” “And what will the pirate ask for in return for such a dashing rescue?” - wip (tansui roleplay) good bye we're never talking about this wip again

Come decorate my Christmas Tree! 🎄 ❄️🎁

Come and sit by the tree, a warm drink in hand, and some Christmas music drifting in from another room. You feel safe, and it's almost like a Christmas from another time, a place of nostalgia when anything was possible🌟

[perahn]

So I got tagged by @mystery-moose to put names of current WIPs so that people could pick one to learn more about, and by @bettydice to post out of context snippets of current WIPs.

I don't think these really play together.

So I will say something about the three things currently jangling in my head, and if anyone wants more details or a direct snippet, please ask!

Tentative title: something about a butterfly. After playing Stray Gods I ended up thinking a particular side-character (who I really did not expect to like) deserved a happy ending and am working on writing a fluffy piece of just that.

BG3 fic one (both the BG3 fic bits live in the same word doc for now). Orin takes Varash, my githzerai Tav. Party has to get her back before Orin gets too Oriny. Hurt/comfort.

NG3 fic two. Post-game. Varash and Halsin working out their commune and family, complicated by a visit to Limbo and a WHOLE PILE of gith headcanons.

Six Sentence Sunday/Heads Up Seven-Up

Tagged by @starknstarwars and @commander-krios (and a handful of others that are so far back in my notes, they're near-impossible to find - I'm sorry!) for these fic-sharing memes. Please consider yourself tagged if you see this!

Since "Shan-anigans" came in second place in this poll, I'll share the last bit that I wrote of it! It's more than 6-7 sentences, but we'll consider it interest earned ;) This is set in approximately 40ATC in some nebulous SWTOR future where Sanna & Theron are still happily married but mostly RETIRED FFS, Amareesa is about 13 years old, and their youngest Lucca, is training to be a Jedi. The basic plot? Sanna's diplomatic meeting goes sideways and Theron rushes off to rescue her -- while Reesie tags along to help, unbeknownst to Theron at first. Then they team up, hence... Shan-anigans :D

----------------------

“Are you ready?” 

The question, asked in a crisp Imperial accent, startled Reesie and she whipped around to find a man in uniform, hands clasped behind his back and posture impeccable. She reached for the dirk attached to her belt and froze as the man began to chuckle. Her mouth dropped open in recognition.

“Dad?” she hissed and he grinned, spreading his arms wide.

“What do you think: do I pass muster?” His regular speech pattern was back, thank the stars.

She took a moment, inspecting his cover: The brimmed, military-style hat hid most of his implants and hair, though a small amount of salt-and-pepper peeked out at his temples. The jacket fit snugly across his shoulders, belted at the waist, and the starched collar of the shirt underneath seemed determined to strangle him. The boots were shiny and looked like they’d pinch his toes.

“It looks uncomfortable.”

It also looked nothing like what he usually wore and it was weird.

“Unfortunately,” he said, tugging at the collar with a grimace, “it is uncomfortable, but I’ll blend in.” He gestured to the pins on the front left panel of the jacket. “High enough rank to not be questioned at every corner, but not high enough to draw too much attention.”

Last Line Meme

I was tagged by @vorchagirl and @bioware-bard to post the last line I wrote. I'm finishing up the final chapter of Part Two of Taking on the Universe! Natasha is becoming the first Human Spectre:

She released a slow, steady breath as her gaze returned to the Councilors standing above her.

Not super exciting, but it's where I stopped last night before bed 🙈

5 Drinks To Get To Know Me

I was tagged by @ironstrangefrostohmy and @just-inside-her thanks guys!!

1: Earl Grey Tea: This is usually what I have first thing in the morning, plus another one just before lunch as I’m finishing up my work for the morning. I really love the smell of it as well as the taste.☕☕

2. Lemon Squash:  I drink this quite a lot during the day, and when I say squash, in actual fact there’s a tiny splash of it in my massive glass of water….so it’s more like tap water with a hint of lemon floating about.🍋🍋

3. Raspberry Gin and Lemonade: I love Whitley Neill’s Raspberry gin (Although their Blackberry one is also very tasty) this is usually if I’m out for dancing with friends or work dinner meetings.🍸

4: Chamomile Tea: I have this in the evenings when I’m editing or unwinding.

5: Coca-Cola: A rare treat, only really have it if I’m out for dinner.
