WIPs

Necromancer Unleashed!

A subverted kids' book (think "Bunnicula" for grown-ups) about a dog who accidentally learns to raise the dead. Told through the eyes of pets around the neighborhood, "Unleashed!" is a tail—woof, I mean tale—about dogs that's secretly about people, and what happens to all of us when it's time to cross the Rainbow Bridge. Like all good stories, this one starts with a smell...

Vibe: Spooky slice-of-life. Hygge horror. Equal measures silly and poignant—or at least that's the goal!

Atlas of Dreams

A hidden world. A missing father. A lifetime without dreams, inspiration, or hope. As a child of the 1990s, Anna had it all and was promised even more, including a seat on the throne in the parallel world where dreams are born—but the future had other plans, and Anna hasn't dreamed (or written, or drawn, or sung) since she was a teenager. Now an adult, Anna decides it's time to come into her inheritance whether the dream world is ready or not.

This project is inspired by almost 2 decades worth of dreams and meditations. It has taken many forms over the years. Originally, I wanted it to be "Narnia" for an older audience, but the story has made it pretty clear that that's not what IT wants to be, so... more exploration needed, I guess

Ryan Cassidy's Boggart Survival Guide

Everyone knows that boggarts like to hide in small, dark spaces—like the closet, which is where it finds Ryan Cassidy searching for the perfect words to tell everyone she's not a boy.

No one knows where the boggarts came from, just that they suddenly seem to be everywhere and they can make people do things. Bad things. They're like little devils riding around on the community's collective shoulder—but that's just a figure of speech, because most people can't see boggarts, or even detect their subtle influence until it's too late.

Cassidy can, though. And so can the mysterious new stranger at school. In fact, they both appeared around the same time...

Cassidy and the new kid team up to defeat this mysterious new evil. But when Cassidy picks up a boggart of her own, it changes everything she thought she knew about their supernatural struggle.

I made the mistake of looking at the notes in the last poll I reblogged. now I feel like I need to clarify (even though no one that commented on that post will see this or care), if you aren't going to call that a "bubbler" (or "bubblah") [which of course is the correct name], then you should be calling it a "drinking fountain" NOT a "water fountain". because those are two different things. you should not be drinking out of a water fountain. the fact that so many people are calling a water fountain makes me want to cry.

drinking fountain (aka bubbler):

water fountain:

see? not the same thing. very different. I'm sure people will try to tell me why I'm wrong, but I don't care. I know I'm right; and that's what's important ;) <3

It’s the People’s Commonwealth of Massholes to us.

I pronounce it Massa-tu-sits, but was informed today that Massa-tu-siss is apparently the standard, so now I need to know.

I wonder what it's like to work with me and hear my original accent deploy completely at random.

When I was a kid I had such a thick Boston accent that elementary school sent me to speech therapy. I remember reading "toaster" ["toastah"] off a prompt card and crying because I couldn't understand why the teacher kept saying it was wrong.

So as an adult I mostly have a neutral newscaster-type American accent...except certain words and phrases, generally ones I internalized separate from school. "Tweetah Sennah." "Loanuh set."

I'll occasionally use NE-specific slang like "bubblah" or "johnny" or "ripshit" or "Conkid" and my colleagues will look at me like I'm absolutely insane.

The funny thing is that I tend to have a reputation as being extremely learnéd/erudite so I can see them looking at me using a word/phrase they've never heard and pondering, "am I just a dumbass? Maybe that IS the right way to say things" and I wanna keep telling them like NO... I'M JUST FROM A REGION OF THE COUNTRY KNOWN FOR PRONOUNCING WORDS ENTIRELY WRONG

//Once again am devastated that I had to start a new blog & must build up my canon all over again but I think I have that crap saved but anywayyyy this means that most of the hcs you'll see or have seen thusfar will be stuff you've already seen if you've been with me for the past 5 years. If you've found me on this blog then everything you'll be seeing will be new. I've few hcs posted atm but I hope to get busy & start posting them up.

So here's one to go on for now:

J's accent is heavily Bostonian. He was born & reared in & around Franklin, Massachussets. I'm not bothered to write everything as he would say it (car = caaa, Harley = Haahley, etc) but there you go. Bonus: yes, things that are awesome are "real pissah" to him & no, he doesn't care about baseball.

Chicken keeping belongs to the bostonians now

[chuckvstheuniverse]

More Boston-ese please

Okay. Here we go. I think I lost brain cells writing this lmao. So I’m sitting in the pahluh, thinking about the wicked fun time I had years ago at the Boston hahbah. On our way, we had to go around a rotary, so we put the blinkah on but then, you wouldn’t believe it, a line of shopping carriages was blocking the road! I said “No suh!” but realized I was hungry, so we turned around and got jimmie donuts instead. The end.

How you find drinking fountains in New England.

[ineffablefool]

softcroft replied to your photo “Bit of next chapter of 404. I typed "water fountains" at first,...”

This is absolutely a thing in parts of the Northeast as well. I called them "bubblahs" (Bostonian) throughout my childhood.

bubblah!!  Everything is at least 70% more delightful when you change -er sounds to -ah and yell them excitedly.  use yah blinkah!!!
