Hey there I loved sweet morning light. I had a thought what if bird comes over to Ari's place and they do what they normally do but then while he is sleeping she gets her period so she sneaks off to go home thinking Ari won't want her there if they can't have sex?

Oooh! Hello, my sweet friend aka The Bringer of Chaos. I'm kidding! I love seeing your ideas in my inbox. They always make me think. And speaking of thinking...

I could do something with this. Maybe she creeps out in the middle of the night to go home, but has to make a stop at a late night convenience store to grab supplies after realizing she's out.

Something goes wrong. It's not major, but enough to shake her up. But not only is Ari pissed about her dipping out in the middle of the night (my men really don't like that), but he's upset that she went to a store alone at such a later hour.

They could've gone together, you know? Perhaps he might use this to his advantage and convince Bird to start leaving her things and a few essentials at his place.

Thoughts?

First line tag/WIP excerpt

Thank you @aintgonnatakethis for the tag!

So this is from the prologue I reworked for the Renegade Heiresses, which would kickstart the series:

Francisca did not realize that she would be instrumental in a twist of fate that would change someone’s life forever. Instead, she was concocting ways to escape either Señor de Ocampo’s too-ornate sala or commit multiple murders that included the Dinsmore couple who thankfully didn’t take their horrible bully of a son with them. Or frankly commit both since it was a party, and she hated parties.

Tagging: @satohqbanana, @avoidingcertaindoom, @thewriteflame, @winterandwords + open tag!

Happy writing!

If TPL Jak tripped through time and landed at the end of Jak 2. He is now stuck with two very protective older teenagers who keep threatening Samos. This kid doesn't know what is going on.

What is the lore of your warbands ? hope you have a good day 

Hi! A good day to you friend. So as for the Four Fingers of the Fist known as the Mors Dictares I have this directory that contains info on the factions within the Barbatos Divide. It is all WIP and subject to change, but you can read my in depth ramblings and wip writings here.

But if you don’t want wanna sift through all of this here are some quick descriptions of each warband:

The Company of the Tarnished Crown began their existence as an Iron Warriors garrison stationed in a section of frontier space that would later become known as the Barbatos Divide. With limited communication they would be stranded there during the Horus Heresy being pushed back to a single moon orbiting a dark Jovian planet. Upon the moon Carcosa of they would build their bastion, burying themselves in the darkened dirt and becoming entrenched with the local Neon Tribes. As the years passed they would feel the foul influences of the dark entity they orbited and would make their first offering during a grueling encounter with a far flung mobile task force of the Shadowkeepers shield host. Nearly being whipped out a Magos Biologis that had been filling a role similar to an apothecary would strike a Faustian bargain that brought his warband an imperfect mockery of immortality. With which they would slaughter the custodies taking trophies and offering them as the promised tribute. In the mid M30s they would regroup with the Fortunate Ones and provide support to their alliance via deamon engines and forbidden knowledge. Now the marines are essentially immortal combat servitors in the thrall of their Magos Biologis Overlord.

The Sons of Horus 21st Exploratory Company “Fortunate Ones” were the first of the Imperium’s forces to discover the Barbatos Divide. During the great crusade they and an allied iron warriors garrison would claim the sector before leaving it to rot as a call to Terra rung out from their Warmaster, they would not be able to make it to Holy Terra in time, instead meeting resistance and being routed in the following scouting. They would take shelter within the Warp and fought viciously in the Legion Wars, crippling many warbands, but facing an embarrassing defeat at the hands of Abaddon, who they now view as a usurper. In the carnage they would escape with the remnants of an allied Sons of Horus company, the Feral Sons, that itself suffered the greatest losses in the fighting including the death of their Chieftain. Retreating from the Warp they would re-enter real space in the strange but familiar sector of the Barbatos Divide, after joining forces with the Company of the Tarnished Crown they would beat back Xenos and renegade human forces subjugating the majority of the sector. The warband itself is one of savage gangs roving between fortress safe houses. These gangs believe every legend of the Warmaster Horus claiming him to be a God General that will return and lead them to a glorious victory. In this belief they find a unique immortality of their own, believing that they are all unkillable and that those of their brothers who have died simply were not true believers of the faith and that their spirits will pass into the afterlife serving the God General they failed.

The Regulators are scavengers and prowlers lurking in the void. Once a noble space marine chapter they have since devolved into a brutal group of guerrilla renegades most well known for their piratical raids on vulnerable supply vessels. So far they have been linked to the fall of two sectors, one being their home sector of Yinnex. Beset by Ork incursions, the sector would eventually crumble from the resulting in fighting with this warband being the only known survivors. The second being the now scorched Amica sector, known for the infamous Amica Campaign that saw several space marine chapters caught in a war of confusion sparked by a sinister force. Amica is the last time the Regulators were noted working with Imperial organizations, and even then their allegiances were in question. They make extensive use of ad hoc modifications to their scavenged weapons and equipment, and pair these improvised tools with unsavory tactics including the use of prisoners wearing bombs in boarding actions. Most encounters with this warband take place in the zone mortalis sectors aboard imperial vessels and cramped space hulks. Following the Amica Campaign the Regulators would join forces with the Fractal Guard as they escaped into deep space. Eventually both groups would be spotted in the Barbatos Divide during the Taming of the Divide fighting alongside the rest of the Mors Dictares and offering only resistance to Imperial efforts.

Perhaps the least known of the Mors Dictares warbands is the Fractal Guard. With knowledge of this warband’s existence a deeply guarded secret. The their presence first being noted during the aforementioned Amica campaign. Double talk, propaganda, fear, confusion, and hope. These are all weapons at the disposal of the Fractal Guard. They have been linked to the disappearance of several space marine chapters, with the livery of the chapter sometimes reappearing on warriors fighting under the Fractal’s banner. Early signs of a Fractal Guard invasion manifest as anomalous phenomena. Dark obelisks in people’s periphery, children born with strange mutations (most common polydactyly), green auroras in the sky, shifting graffiti that escalates into hypnotic propaganda and mass riots. As paranoia and unrest grows in a planets population the Fractal Guard will often incite violence by infiltration of the upper echelons of government resulting in policies of repression brutal by even Imperial standards. The resulting conflicts seem to be used as some form of fuel for esoteric rituals, though it has also been proposed that these are merely distractions from the true threat: an enigmatic entity known only as “The Fractal”. Recent reports have placed them in the Barbatos Divide along side the rest of the Mors Dictares, with multiple instances of “The Fractal” possessing strikingly different appearances as a result of the temporal distortion noted at the end of the Amica Campaign.

wip of the widdle guy

Cover construction for The silent isle imbowers, July-Aug 2023.

Finished binding here.

Materials shown: metallic gold and matte black heat transfer vinyl with cricut-cut designs, cricut-cut paper stencil, acrylic paint, bookcloth made of cotton + drawing paper backing + Lineco PVA glue. Calligraphy by quillingwords, flower art and cover construction by me.

————-General tips on how to make smth like this:

Steps in order were (1) have bookcloth, (2) cut and paint stencil, (3) cut and weed both HTV layers, (4) apply black HTV, (5) apply gold HTV, (6) add paint detail with paintbrush over the vinyl, (7) apply bookcloth to cover board.

This is not a beginner-friendly design LOL. Be like me and try most of the steps by themselves on other projects first.

I drew this design knowing how the sections would be layered, and which materials (and therefore colors) would go with each layer. Achieving a similar result with a premade design will likely require editing in a digital art program.

Test how your materials will layer before committing to a complex design. In this case I discovered that the type of bookcloth I made actually helps conceal the adhesive spread under the black HTV.

Layering HTV over small sections of acrylic paint works! Cannot confirm the result if you were to use large painted sections.

PSA This black layer with many very small pointy bits is at the extreme limit of what I think is possible to weed from machine-cut HTV. A different material might work better, and I got a lot faster at weeding the second copy than the first one, but some of this is just a technical limit. The gold section worked great but I would not recommend this for the black.

Layering HTV is much easier to do uniformly with a heat press! Check if your local library or maybe an art class studio has one you can use before doing smth like this with your iron.

Paper stencils are easy to make with the cricut but don’t try to use them for anything with small details. The above example is pushing it despite being very simple shapes. Stick-on stencils are better.

Tiny HTV design tip: designs with jagged sections and very thin lines are hardest to weed successfully. Smooth curves are much easier.

Scale all pieces of a stacked design on the same drawing program and within the same canvas in cricut so they layer precisely.

Cut tiny HTV designs with the washi paper setting on a cricut. I did not find this out myself but I can confirm the results! Using the HTV setting will cause the blade to catch on and pull up small sections of the design while cutting, ruining parts of the design.

—————-Tiny HTV design weeding tips:

For the love of cheese do not try anything this complicated the first time you use a cricut. or the second. you will cry

Seriously consider trying both HTV and cricut stencils before doing anything complicated like this. I wish I had at least attempted the black layer as a stick-on stencil.

This isn't a weeding tip but again you better cut this with a washi setting.

Use a very sharp weeding tool, good lighting, and consider a magnifying glass

Be prepared for this to take several hours, especially if you have never done a tiny piece before.

Important! The cricut does not perfectly cut out designs, leaving very small connected sections around the design at various locations. This is almost unnoticeable on large designs but can ruin tiny designs very easily. Be prepared to hold down the “keep” sections of the design with tweezers or a fingertip while pulling or trimming off some of the “remove” negative space.

Do NOT attempt to pull off all the negative space in a single piece. Either add dividing lines to your design for the machine to cut, or use a sharp tool to scrape them yourself. You are much less likely to accidentally remove part of your design if you weed the design in distinct sections.
