"you can't just pull that out without telling me!"

I didn't know you could do that || Accepting!

Vithren rolled their eyes. The two thugs who thought they’d gotten lucky and scored a double mugging were currently halfway down the alley in a soggy heap. The source of the blast of water? Vithren manipulating the water in the fire hydrant behind them and Margaret. Another motion of their hand had shut the water off again, which was where the woman’s comment had come in.

“If I’d told you, they would have known about it,” they said, folding their arms. “You could always say “thank you for saving me the trouble of an unexpected fight, Tidekeeper, that was nice of you”.”

2. Do you plan each chapter ahead or write as you go?

Hmm.... Little of both, really? Like with Bailey's stories, I have a rough idea of where I want the story to go, and most of a notion about how to knit the story that bridges the scenes I want. I don't know how many chapters it will take, but I know the basic story beats I want to hit. With Tidekeepers -- which I am hoping to start reboot work for within the next few months, cross your fingers -- it was all much more freeform. I had three big arcs conceptualized, and was going to let the story happen as it happened, within that framework.

I guess the easiest metaphor is training vines to grow up a trellis. I don't know how the flowers will branch and tangle over the wood, but I can coax them up a frame, and weave unexpected bits back into the larger mass

Fate, Soul, Space from the ask game!

18. FATE - Have you always wanted to be a writer?

I don't think so, but to be fair I don't remember much of all the things I wanted to be while I was growing up lol I've wanted to do many many things. Main theme is I've always wanted to tell and share stories -- went through 2D animation, comics, illustration and writing interchangeably until I settled back on writing in a more final way. :D

42. SOUL - What is your favourite WIP?

Going for the hardest questions here are ya LOL ummm i mean i'm partial to my original novel, but i have this visual novel about gays and vampires in a canadian college town im pretty obsessed with rn hehe so it's either, by title, Song of the Tidekeeper(fantasy new adult novel), or Vampire Beach Club(just...gay vampires and college shenanigans). Trying very hard to keep this answer short but all i want is to babble about my characters lol

43. SPACE - Do you prefer Sci-Fi or Fantasy?

i've always had a better understanding of fantasy when i write. it's more fun to me to imagine different rules and different ways to do magic. but i've also dabbled in scifi and similar things(like superhero stuff)for fun! i'm more comfortable in fantasy, but i always like to try new things and i mix it up once in a while. sci fi often involves maths and i don't like that but somehow i end up needing to do math research in my fantasy work anyway hahaha

thank you so much for the questions!! :D

I’m an admin for an arpg on deviant art/discord called Realm of Serpents and this is some asset art for it! I’ve been doing a lot lately and having a ton of fun

This is a sea serpent, a non-playable creature from our bestiary.

Sea Serpent: Massive, snake-like creatures with immense ivory tusks and webbed fins. While normally only a danger to human ships, the larger sea-serpents (referred to as Great Serpents by Tidekeepers) may even threaten dragons. Tidekeepers hunt them for their tusks; despite this, their population only seems to grow, as each serpent can spawn hundreds of eggs at a time. (Description by J-Haskell on deviantart/hirundine on tumblr)

[Image ID: an illustration of a sea serpent coiled over itself a few times. It is snake-like, with no limbs and covered in small, slightly shiny scales. It has webbed fins running along its spine from the back of its head to just beyond the tip of its tail, which also line the underside of just the tail. Its mouth is half-open, showing off a row of sharp curved teeth at the back of its jaw, and several much larger forward-pointing teeth sticking out of the front of its mouth. The bottom middle two are more like tusks, being much larger than the rest. The sea serpent is mostly dark blue and green, with a white belly. Its white belly is bordered by bright red, which fans out in little stripes off of the main stripe. The serpents back is covered in dull gold marking that match its eye color. These markings are squiggles that twist around each other and form strange patterns that almost look like writing. End ID]

tidekeeper replied to your post: you cant jus say 'THIS IS BULLSHIT FEARMONGERING...

ngl I was one of the people who panic-reblogged when that article was first circulating, but I should’ve done research first; there’s some unfortunate things to the article, sure, but nowhere near the DOOMSDAY SCENARIO that was originally touted, thankfully

I think everyone does that sometimes. I do it sometimes too, but we all have to make an effort to stop and think for a moment when somebody puts up a complete doomsday scenario like this and ideally correct ourselves if we initially misunderstood something.

And when I say “RAAHH THIS MAKES ME ANGRY” I don’t mean I hate every person who has ever reblogged that post, I mean that it makes me angry that it is allowed to spread misinformation and panic to several thousand people without anyone questioning it right away, because the op clearly hasn’t researched the topic enough to even understand basic copyright law or that basic copyright law is not what will possibly be changed with this article.

Yeah, I don’t think hairclips usually do that, huh
