I saw the ask you sent me and I thiugh I’d return the favor! Feel free to ignore it if you’d like. What is your favorite platonic relationship between any of your ocs?

Oh thank you!!

I haven't announced these people yet, but they're all from Nova Futurum. Rowan has quite a big friend group so I'll only mention 3 of their closest friends.

Logan

These two spur each other on and they always are ankle deep in some random trouble. There's the time that they were rough-housing and shoving each other around and Rowan pushed too hard and Logan fell into a freshly poured patch of sidewalk. No one was hurt and Logan was only vaguely upset. Logan is fiercely loyal and never lets people talk shit about his friends. When Rowan is upset, Logan is the type to convince them to have a boxing match to let out their emotions. When it's the other way around, Rowan helps Logan get out of his head when he's upset and convinces him to explore a new section of town.

Caspian

These two teach each other how to take apart and reassemble technology. Caspian is especially interested in how to use technology as a fashion statement, which works great with Rowan's expertise with cybernetic implants. Caspian is a quiet and patient person and often gives Rowan enough space to share their emotions without feeling terrible about it. For all their quietness they come up with some wickedly smart ideas that help the group enjoy their time together even more.

Nicole

Rowan and Nicole appear to strangers in Nova Futurum as the two best behaved in their friend group. It's true, Nicole is the one who thinks of the repercussions of their actions and tends to be the "adult" one in their group. But this doesn't stop them from having fun with the others. These two enjoy exploring, just like the rest of the group. Unlike the others, these two explore upwards. They climb together and bond together over exercise and things like their favorite tv shows.

This was really fun to do and helped me flesh out my characters a lot more. Thank you again for the ask!

The Forgotten Legends of Chima Sneak Peek (part 23)

The moonlight shines, hitting faintly on these huge, hollow seeds that hang from those branches. They’re not just hollow; they have open holes like doors and windows! Are they houses? Cragger whimpers, “Eris… Tha’was close! How did you…” “You just answered me by yourself.” He sighs. From below, the rush of wolves pass galloping in a hurry, avoiding us and the tree, but their noise attracts an unexpected rumble at our height too. We hear heavy panting, and it gets louder by the minute.

A little treat before I get busier xd, my writing will start to slow down for this month unfortunately

Writeblr Group Project Proposal

First of many!

This is based off my WIP Loop 420!

This project would be us doing a singular loop in that story with each writer, writing their own deaths. 1 person will be the murderer and 7-9 other people will be the victims.

1 will be the first to be killed and I will claim that (because I need to keep the trend of me dying first.

What does this mean?

We need 1 killer

and 6-8 other victims. It is first come first serve and if you don't get in, that is fine. I'll do more like this. Everyone can work at their own pace and create their own characters. The killer has to be flexible and work with the others to get their character portrayed.

Their is a "paladin" that defeats the killer and then buries the rest. Then loop restarts

Killer: @yesireadbooks

1st to die: @anonymousfoz

2nd to die: @aspiringfictionwriter

3rd: @holdmyteaplease

4th: @digital-chance

5th: @wrenofthewords

6th: @kittieshauntedourfantasy

7th: @quisyop

8th: not needed

Paladin/Hero: @anonymousfoz

This one's going to be interesting. I've been tagged once more, and I must find the name number of songs as there are letters in my url. The catch is that each must correspond to a letter in said url. The link to the post I was tagged in is here.

I have a whopping 18 lettres in my url. You can imagine how I feel about this.

The Forgotten Legends of Chima Sneak Peek (part 21)

Ehboni sits down besides me while holding a cup of tea. The vapor that steams from the warm liquid dances around in a trance, as it dampens my breath. She then leans forward, at my left. “Please, drink this tea I made. It’ll ease your pain.” A strong odor startles me. It definitely comes from that beverage. “But— Ehboni… is it acerbison?”, I stutter by moving my frail vocal chords. With hesitation, she pats me on the forehead, and lends the cup very close to my face. I drink the liquid from it, its bitter taste shocks my tongue, I snarl hard in reaction, but this is numb compared to the pain piercing me. It’s for my own good, anyways.

@aspiringfictionwriter buddy you do not want to know what show this is

still cannot believe that they aired this on live television then continued to be upset about people shipping destiel

To my 420 Loop people

@yesireadbooks, @anonymousfoz (hello me), @aspiringfictionwriter, @holdmyteaplease, @digital-chance, @wrenofthewords, @kittieshauntedourfantasy, @quisyop

Please be creating your characters and communicating with each other about how they act, their jobs and try to see what connection they could have.

remember these characters are suppose to be friends, doesn't mean they have to like each other all the time. really develop a character you are going to kill off either way.

@yesireadbooks you need to come up for how your character acts before the looping (So before anyone was killed so like normal with the friend group) and how they act while killing. I'll contact you more about it in secret because my brain isn't braining right now.

If you need any help please contact me, expect me to be late because I am tired and want some sleep before a mega kahoot (it's a long story).

I was tagged by @rickie-the-storyteller in an incorrect quotes shipping game. The link to the post I was tagged in is here. The link to the generator is here. I don't usually do shipping, but I have a couple canon relationships in Love Corrupts Fresh Lilies (Rafflesia and Hemlock as well as Jade and Ferphasia).

Rafflesia & Hemlock:

Rafflesia: I am so cool. I am an absolute Chad. I am the epitome of coolness and awesomeness—  Hemlock: Hi.  Rafflesia: *melts down in a flustered heap of softness*

~~~~~

Hemlock: Are you ready to commit?  Rafflesia: Like, a crime or a relationship?

~~~~~

Rafflesia: I owe you one.  Hemlock: That’s ok. You can just date me and we’ll call it even.

~~~~~

Hemlock: BE A BETTER PERSON!  Rafflesia: WHY?!  Hemlock: BECAUSE SOMEONE NEEDS TO HAVE MORALS IN THIS RELATIONSHIP, AND IT SURE AS FUCK AIN'T GONNA BE ME, SWEETHEART!

~~~~~

Rafflesia, sweating: Hemlock, there’s something I need to ask you-  Hemlock: Finally! You’re proposing!  Rafflesia: How’d you know?  Hemlock: Rafflesia, you’ve dropped the ring five times during dinner.  Hemlock: I even picked it up once.

~~~~~

Hemlock: Rafflesia and I are no longer friends.  Rafflesia: HEMLOCK THAT IS THE WORST WAY TO TELL PEOPLE THAT WE’RE DATING!

~~~~~

Hemlock: Valentine’s day is just a consumerist holiday that holds no real value other than drive people insane buying heart shaped chocolates for their significant others and pos-  Rafflesia: I wrote you a poem.  Hemlock, already crying: You did?

Jade & Ferphasia:

Jade: Are you sure Ferphasia's even gay? She barely looked at me!

~~~~~

Ferphasia: Look at me straight in the eyes and tell me the truth, Jade!  Jade: You can’t expect me to look into your eyes and be straight.

~~~~~

Ferphasia: Being gay is a constant battle between "I wish to sit on a window bench with my lover, our legs tangling as we listen to the birds" and "Hey, let's go throw rocks at fascists" and I think that's very sexy of us.  Jade: If the window's open and you time it right, you can do both.

~~~~~

Ferphasia: So you like cats?  Jade: Yeah.  Ferphasia: *tries to impress them by slowly pushing a glass off the table*

~~~~~

Jade: Since we're in a relationship now, your clothes are my clothes too. Don't ask me why I have your shirt on, this is our shirt.  Ferphasia: Fine, but when I come strutting in with your fuzzy socks I don't want to hear shit.

~~~~~

Ferphasia: Hey, random question, what are your favorite flowers?  Jade: Peonies, why?  Ferphasia: Jade: Were you going to get me flowers?  Ferphasia: Jade: Ferphasia: ᶦᵗ’ˢ ᵃ ᵖᵒˢˢᶦᵇᶦˡᶦᵗʸ

~~~~~

Ferphasia: I want to kiss you. Jade, not paying attention: What? Ferphasia: I said if you die I won't miss you.

This is certainly new, but overall was an enjoyable experience.

Hello! Just a reminder you're awesome and feel free to talk about something in a wip that captivates your attention at the moment

thank you for the ask!! sorry for the delay, and lovely to see you!!

i can't think of much, i need to do more worldbuilding, so here's an excerpt of Scars of Duty I did for this year's NaNoWriMo! enjoy!

The villain slinks up to Lucian. “Are you afraid Hero?" They purr, staring at him underneath their dark eyelashes. Lucian swallows compulsively, eyes fluttering around the villain as they approach. Lucian knows, he knows, that he should be fighting. But he feels frozen on the spot, compelled to watch the villain slink up to him, fire and power flickering in their eyes as they look Lucian over. They smirk as they reach Lucian, grasping his chin gently with their thumb and index finger. They lean in until Lucian and the villain are sharing breaths. “Perhaps darling, you shouldn’t be so trusting with your personal space,” The villain murmurs, wickedness flickering in their eyes. Their lips curl into a smile and Lucian, feeling the magnetism, clenches his jaw. The villain brushes their thumb against Lucian’s lower lip but then steps back. Lucian shivers from the touch, feeling dazed, as the villain declares, “And now I have you surrounded.” They gesture with both arms. Lucian whirls around, seeing armed individuals on all sides. There’s too many for just Lucian to take them all on. He feels his arm creep to the HQ panic button, but the villain catches him and tisks. “You had all this opportunity to press that button, and now, seeing that you’re outnumbered, you choose to press it?”  The villain stalks away with a hard look on their face. “I had higher hopes for you, darling,” they say bitterly, face twisted in disgust. Lucian searches for the right words, the feeling of inadequacy rising. His mouth opens and closes, words dying on the tip of his tongue. He has no defense. He has no idea what to do. He's afraid. The villain watches this with angry dark eyes. “No, I don't want your excuses. Not this time, my darling hero,” they say, spitting the pet name out like a curse. They sharply turn towards the crowd, cape fluttering in the wind.

The Forgotten Legends of Chima Sneak Peek (part 23)

Soon enough, my eyes return to normal, yet I feel light headed. To my side, where the passenger's door is, I can see ten other jets surrounding the Eagle Spire's helipad, beaming downwards blue fire to stay afloat in the sky. "Stay where you are, Equila!", a deep, breathy voice shouts, "We won't hurt you— just be still!"
