starting a new muse game (because i have too much going on in my head but cannot, for the love of god, get one thing onto paper). also i wanna see your guys' creativity again.

you're getting published! what's the title of your book and how does it look like? feel free to write a logline (if you feel like it). rules : have fun with it ! just tag along if you wanna join. create book titles for you ; your friends ; your foes or stick with themes, if that's more up your alley. create whatever fuels your creativity.

with this one i stuck with the theme of » the past « also i really wanted to design a book cover for the immaculate @exsecrabar (sorry, love, i had to)

tagging: @phasmophobie @trauma-report @exsecrabar @ertraeumte @vikasgarden @caughtbetweenworlds @bvtchcr @sentiire @darkvrge @heartofglass-mindofstone @theallegedsourwolf and everyone else who wants to join in

#( is this what having hobbies feels like ) / * 𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐬 .#( nat20 lets goooo ) / * 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐠𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 .#the book titles highkey break my heart but oh well #muse game #is this even considered a muse game?#book cover #book cover design #muse games #apparently i have a thing for serif fonts on book titles #and book titles starting with “the”#editsfakevz

Director of the False Last Act

#orv #omniscient reader's viewpoint #orv spoilers #han sooyoung #art i made #another of the drawings i fished out of my drafts that i completely forgot id started #if the face doesnt look like how i usually draw hsy uh. i apparently did the lineart like 4 months ago #and the way i used to draw her was WAY different #like i had to redo the face cuz i was like man this aint my girl wtf #oh yeah the sort of. watsonian reason why the title of the book shes holding is scrubbed out is bc it could either be twsa or orv i guess #the doylist reason is i couldnt decide between twsa or orv so now its neither LOL #side note but like. intellectually i know the thousand hand guan yin is like an actual thing in buddhism but my familiarity with it is #mostly from the dance move #so like as i was colouring this i was just imagining hsy like creating this pose in universe w the avatars which. one hell of an image #only two of the hands are supposed to represent like specific points in the story the rest are just. symbolic...?#the lemon candy one is obvious and the knife one is meant to be from when she stabs 49!kdj in the epilogue #also holy god im so bad at coming up with backgrounds for this kind of art #the original background i had i think i was trying to make it look like some kind of. book cover...? hence the borders #whatever it was it wasnt working #now i have no idea what its supposed to be 👍 like its giving. poorly designed tarot card

he’s mad she ratted him out

#doctorsiren #gravity falls #the book of bill #bill cipher #jheselbraum the unswerving #gravity falls fanart #digital art #my art #procreate #okay because 1. she used to be a henchmanic but I don’t think she was ever on his side #2. I’m pretty sure she was a spy or SOMETHING #3. when the shaman guy started rejecting Bill. written on the side of that page it says (in code):#‘which one of my henchmaniacs ratted me out’#and then the prophecy was given #and she’s The Oracle. which y’know…give prophecies #on her little scribbled out bio you can kinda make out that it says she’s the smartest one or something of that sort #but that she betrayed bill or something like that (I’m going off of memory)#and so I think she was never really on his side to begin with and was there to learn what he was trying to do #if I’m wrong *DON’T CORRECT ME* 🥺🥺🥺 please HAHA #I’m having a matpat moment 😎 I dunno I just don’t think she would have been on his side #also considering the fact that her name is ‘the Unswerving’#a term that means ‘unwavering’ or ‘steadfast’ and basically implies that she would not change her position on things #so it doesn’t make logical sense to me that she would have been on his side and then switched and then gotten that title?? idk #I just think about her a lot…I love you space fish mom…#just a goofy drawing I did during church 😁

I just noticed I didn't tell you yet--which is shameful as it is Tumblr where the Mermaid Scientist was born! My Mermaid Book was picked up by Eye of Newt and is available for pre-order right now (it's coming out very soon, though, so any orders should make it until Christmas if that's a concern of yours)! If you're in North America, I'd suggest ordering directly through my publisher's website, however it's available anywhere you'd usually order books. You can ask your favourite indie book shop to order it for you or--if there's no other option or you're worried about crazy shipping costs where you live--it's available via the place starting with A, which shall otherwise not be named, as well. Please note: This is an edited version of the original book. It's shorter, but with more coherent world building and a beautiful new layout and design. It's a proper field guide now!

#Mermaid book #books #mermaids #field guide #art book #this makes me a traditionally published author-illustrator now :DDD #when we talked about editing the book for publication my publisher was like #we love Dr Lillefisk #Let's keep her!#Now she's in the title!#I made her up on a whim!#Her name is just grammatically incorrect Swedish #I love it so much #just thinking about how everything started and came together #and the book changed and grew and now #7 years later this is where we are!#my publisher send me the video btw #I can't wait to get the book myself!!

So, way back when I was a wee little cringe nerd (tentatively affectionate), I was absolutely bonkers obsessed with Percy Jackson. I also had basically zero access to the internet and only an extremely vague idea of what fanfiction was, and I definitely wasn't immersed in the fanfiction culture of the time. So that meant whenever I had Thoughts and Ideas, I was writing those fuckers straight into my class notebooks for all the world but especially my teachers to see. That being said, I just remembered my very first ever fanfiction idea, of which I wrote three pages of looseleaf in my seventh-grade social studies class with my best friend in between assignments. Which I will now elaborate on as an Adult because honestly, what else do I have a semi-popular Tumblr blog for?

The basic idea is that, in the Son of Neptune, instead of heading straight for Camp Jupiter, Percy very vaguely remembers that the mysterious Annabeth lives very close by. He skids down the hill next to the Caldecott Tunnel, but instead of crashing into the highway, he lands in the back of a pickup and is carried away by a very panicked+annoyed driver who wants the kid in the back of his truck out.

(Please imagine Frank and Hazel, standing guard, watching some random kid go screaming down the side of a hill on a serving platter while pursued by gorgons, land in a pickup, and, still screaming, swordfight said gorgons. Who get whacked out of the air and run over by a school bus. Can you fucking imagine)

(Please also imagine Juno, waiting invisibly next to the road, also watching Percy go screaming by in a truck. She had been waiting there to give Percy her mysterious "choose safety or your memories" spiel but now he's fucking gone)

The pickup driver pulls over to the side of the road near the bay and tells Percy to get the fuck out of the back of his car. Percy, seeing the gorgons in hot pursuit in the distance, makes the logical move and jumps straight into the bay. He lets instincts and muscle memory guide him to the edge of one of those fancy neighborhoods that border the edge of the water. He continues following muscle memory and instincts and ends up at Annabeth's house, and he knocks on the door.

Fredrick, opening the door: Percy Jackson??

Percy: ...who are you

Fredrick: you exploded my car four years ago! my daughter has been looking for you for months. ANNABETH COME DOWNSTAIRS I FOUND YOUR BOYFRIEND

Percy: HUH WHAT

Annabeth gives him a flying tackle hug and Percy is 60% confused, 40% relieved because finally this is someone he remembers. Annabeth starts talking about how they need to get Percy to CHB stat, everyone is so worried about him, they knew Jason had had amnesia but it had been so long they weren't sure if Percy was still alive, etc etc,

Percy is nodding along in confusion and pretending he knows wtf she's talking about.

Juno appears in the Chase house. She's mad as hell that a) percy isn't already in Camp Jupiter and b) he's with Annabeth (derogatory). She teleports Percy straight into CJ but Annabeth manages to hang onto him and come with.

They land on the near side of the Little Tiber, where Frank and Hazel are reporting on the weird screaming demigod in a pickup that had gone by twenty minutes ago. Juno realizes she accidentally brought Annabeth along and is Very Unhappy about this.

"Romans, I bring to you the Son of Neptune-" ("I'm the son of a planet?" Percy muttered). "For months he has been slumbering [etc]. Instruct him in your ways, induct him into your legion. As for the daughter of Minerva…” The Romans gasped, staring at Annabeth. Juno curled her lip, shooting an icy look at the girl. Annabeth snarled wordlessly in response. “She is extraneous. Do with her what you will.”

Juno disappeared

More will be added in the reblog

#mads posts #pjo #he goes left AU #titled off of my 7th grade mental map of Berkley where annabeth's house is left of the tunnel #this is almost definitely inaccurate but i'm attached to the name now #percy jackson #annabeth chase #son of neptune #heroes of olympus #riordanverse #is that all idk #go crazy send asks abt this apparently i have more lore in me than I realized #although. i have literally no plot past SoN. the plot of HoO doesn't change after this book unless i start making big radical changes I #don't feel like making #<- HA. …ha. fuck. anyways there’s more in the notes #there’s a fic now in the notes too

some leaders I've somehow never drawn before

#leopardstar #rowanstar #blackstar #riverclan #shadowclan #my art #well. never might not be true bc i probably drew leopard and black at some point in the decade+ i've been reading these books #but i haven't drawn them since learning to draw cats and starting this blog lol #ugh blackstar took me so long to finish. i kept restarting over and over. in the end the best one was a doodle i'd made at work #so i just took a picture of that and used it as my sketch #he's rounder faced than i picture him but i ain't doing it again!#anyway i'm still waiting for my library to get a copy of star. which btw is a title which is a pain in the ass to search #i had to filter out every book not by erin hunter and even then it was like. the twelfth result #this arc is good but has such bad book titles lol #i've had this problem with most asc books but not usually to this degree

[ID: Meme of Anakin and Padme talking, edited to read: (Panel 1, Anakin) “‘The Traitor Baru Cormorant’ is about Baru rising through the ranks of an evil empire to overthrow it from within”. (Panel 2, Padme smiling) “So it’s called that because she betrays the empire, right?” Panel 3 is Anakin looking grim. (Panel 4, Padme stops smiling) “She betrays the empire, right?” End ID]

🙃.

#im abt to start the third book so no spoilers pls #baru cormorant #the traitor baru cormorant #spoilers for baru cormorant #<- i mean it literally is the title tho #i speak

2024 reads / storygraph

The Brightness Between Us

twisty YA sci-fi, sequel to The Darkness Outside Us

17 years later, Ambrose and Kodiak are raising their two surviving children on an isolated planet

their rebellious daughter wants to explore further, but after making a small discovery she learns there’s more about their circumstances than she knew, while her reserved older brother is going through some strange experiences of his own

with a dual narrative of Ambrose and Kodiak on earth before they leaving to space, finding out the truth about the titan mission, and learning more about the resistance in a dying world on the brink of war

#The Brightness Between Us #aroaessidhe 2024 reads #oh damn! yeah this lives up to book 1.#also the blurb for this spoils the first book big time #very fast paced and compelling and tragic (but hopeful). the kids are such interesting characters #and it was really cool to see a little more of earth before everything; and the way the stories are intertwined....#it’s very much about being in hopeless circumstances and doing what you can anyway #both storylines are quite fast paced and I feel like I wanted a bit more detail on some things?#But also going into more depth about…anything would get so depressing (if not start to fall apart narratively)#the way it’s like brightness instead of darkness (in the title) is more hopeful :) and then the actual title drop moments are like. oh.#also….sheep my beloved…#mlm books

i still think my best fic idea/ability idea is the first fyozai fic idea i had - not the one that ive been putting up for the polls. i wish i had the inspiration for it but </3 alas there is none

#had v heavy religious themes #reader's ability was inspired by one of the most famous chapters of one of dostoevsky's works #which was intentional bc from the start of the story to like the midway point she was pretty much just an extension of him #didnt rlly have any autonomy / desires of her own - only ever did what dostoevsky wanted #her character arc centered around meeting dazai & the ada and finding her own sense of self all the while knowing she's supposed to betray #them for dostoevsky #she was part of the doa #bc in the book by mishima - decay of the angel - the title references the 5 signs of the decay of an angel in buddhist scriptures #hence the five members #so there would still be fukuchi fyodor bram sigma and nikolai as the 5 members and #she was meant to represent the decaying angel itself
