Heads/Last/Seven/Something
Tagged by @late-to-the-fandom ! I think I'm supposed to just post some out of context lines from things I am writing. If I'm wrong, well, you get a preview of assorted things I'm working on, and it's....pretty varied. It's mostly either (.......fandom-related, cough, good luck guessing which fandoms because one of them has an English speaking fandom in the dozens at most) essays or game writing so I'll try to toss in a bit of everything. Especially since the mechanical stuff is short supplements and if I give away more than one bit then you've already got a good chunk of the booklet.
1."But they were the Ishmael to his Abraham, and their Abraham would never have given up his Isaac, and there was an angel, and there was no one and nothing to save them from what was to come."
2. "Strangely, the Storm Lords welcome the Gishtahu, albeit cautiously. Struggle and growth towards perfection is the essence of the Storm Lords. What greater struggle is there to overcome such a base instinct and still strive for the apex of predatory sainthood the Storm Lords strive for? Who else can claim to have suffered so much in the pursuit of that but the Gishtahu Iminir? A Storm Lord Martyr would never brag about this, of course, such a thing is unbecoming and a true Storm Lord hides their weakness and makes their immaculate qualities seem effortless, but the Gishtahu who overcome their vices are acknowledged with a quiet reverence by their Tribemates."
3. "I have very little proof for this other than his character art, but I believe deep in my soul he is an early transition transman. Demons took his tits away. Good for him. God, I wish that were me."
4. "The Wolf must hunt.
Things other than the Wolf hunt, of course. That’s a given. But it’s not a part of their being. It’s not a Sacred Hunt. It’s not a part of their very being.
Or at least, that’s what the Uratha have told themselves for all their history. By their own billing, the Final Lodge stands alone among the People by acknowledging the fact this isn’t true anymore. Some humans must Hunt."
5. "This rite may only be performed when a werewolf suffers from at least one point of aggravated damage from an enemy of the pack and the wound is still open (meaning at least one level is still there when the rite is performed.) The pack gains +2 on rolls to activate Glory facets and to activate their Hunter’s Aspect for one month. It is only taught to Blood Talons."
6. "Let he who has not committed organ theft on at least like, three people cast the first stone."
7. "In the dim lights of the bar, his eyes have a faint blue glow to them. And, for the first time, you're getting a good look at his face. He's not as immediately, strikingly handsome in the way Gabriel is, and he doesn't have that ethereal beauty that Samael does, but there's something in his lean, sharp features that draws you in.
Maybe if he'd stop scowling once in a while, it'd be easier to see. He's still a half-step away from a smile, but he already seems so much warmer."
I will tag, uh, anyone who wants to show off a WIP I guess. Have at it. Or don't, I'm not your dad.
