Split Ends

Bellroc is the only primordial wizard who has to bother with haircuts, but that doesn't mean they have to deal with it alone.

A quick little oneshot for my dear friend @dreamcrow whose birthday is coming up. This is not a birthday present, I just am excited about his birthday.

apple pie moon...!!

halloween themed asks! Regarding I met a girl in the graveyard

🍎 apple: let’s talk about friendship in your wip. do you have any favorite friend/platonic dynamics? any friendships gone sour?

No friendships really go sour through the course of the book. Mr. Ngo isn't Kaz's friend per se, though he's very friendly towards her, and there's a bit of strain when he learns what Kaz did, but ultimately Kaz's standing at work isn't permanent, especially as there seemed to be no lasting consequences to the cemetery, which was his main concern.

Kaz and Lucy's growing friendship/relationship, of course, give me a lot of joy, but I want to look a bit more into how Kaz and Josie's relationship changes over the course of the book. They do want to try remaining friends, but it's always easier said than done.

There's a very minor subplot with the librarian I like as well, as she's a specific character who keeps popping up in almost all my WIPs because she's one of my oldest OCs.

🥧 pie: let’s talk about food in your wip. are there any special recipes or traditional meals? do any of your OCs cook or bake?

Naturally, we get plenty of mentions of banh mi, a specificially vietnamese sandwich, and t'is the season of Pumpkin Spice Lattes. None of the characters save for Phan have a particular interest in cooking, but we'll be getting a few traditional Halloween snacks in later chapters that I'm looking forward to.

🌙 moon: do any of your OCs have dark backstories or secrets they’re trying to keep?

They probably should, tbh, but the only secrets about her past that Kaz is actively keeping are just heavier aspects of her life you wouldn't share with someone who wasn't a close friends -- mental health, strained family relationships and the like. I mean, she does try to keep Mr. Ngo from learning about her trouble making in the graveyard, but that's still not dark lol

five things you might find in my fics

♡♡Thank you for tagging me @dreamcrow​! ♡♡ Oh man it’s been a while since I’ve tried doing these sort of @-in writer posts things. Which kind of left me staring at my hands going

“Do I have a brand? Me? Writing tropes?” [cue staring at my Works page on Ao3 for a normal amount of time] 

A sign I really needed to try and do this exercise haha So again thank you for the opportunity to analyze and self reflect in a positive way! ♡

Hmmm

 A deep love of folklore to be sure. If ever given a chance I’d like to one day try and be a proper folklorist. But yeah, 

Vibes, in that, sitting in a moment sort of atmospheric way. A love for the sort of atmosphere a location can bring, or even a small moment (s). 

I do have a fondness for missing scenes and exploring those moments in the in-between, that are not always shown on screen or have scenes of their own. Testing my ability to see if I can truly capture a character’s ‘moments before’. Or things that could have hypothetically happened between seasons/books. 

Being deeply inspired by music while writing. Sometimes full fics or series based off of how a music piece inspires me. This can result into something, ah, very very long, or a short little something. (A childhood full of dance classes and playing the violin is probably to blame lol)

Sitting with a character and just...contemplating character logistics, and perhaps getting a little angsty about them, and creating hypotheticals and explorations for that purpose. Example, uh “Oh this character ran away from home at a young age.” me: “Alright what might that have been like?   How would that effect someone when grown or comfort someone who attempts the same thing??” (with a dose of what-ifs) Or even truly lean in to the bit, committing to the bit until the bit isn’t funny anymore, in fact, there were very major and huge consequences to a character’s choice and exploring how deep those consequences can go. (dramedy I guess?)

In an overarching way I’d say...

A love for dramedy, situational irony, what-ifs, doing my damndest to stay true to character no matter how crazy the scenario, the macabre, folklore, atmospheric, and a constant attempt at humor, punchy dialogue, the scared and horny c-c-combo, gothic/horror, the rule of cool is subscribed, as well as punching up, and no one is immune to clown shoes or being taken down a peg etc etc

And that’s uh, that on that!! Thank you for reading I hope this was enjoyable, it was really nice to do on my end. Heck I think it gave me a bit of a confidence boost too!  ___〆(・∀・)

And I taag, ah, everyone who has read this!! Muhaahaha ♡

illustration commission for @dreamcrow of Bellroc and Skrael, about to lay down a world of hurt ❤️❄️ ❄️commission info in the source❄️

[di-devil]

Heey, a little reminder that I have you guys

This will not be the last picture where I will depict in the form of hearts those who supported me from the very beginning and continue to do so to this day, as well as those who joined me recently and actively continue to inspire me to new achievements!

I love you guys! With all my big heart and with the same heart, thank you for your sympathy!

(I don't look too sentimental, do I? Haha)

I will list everyone who is depicted in the form of hearts on this art, and on subsequent art that I will post after this post, so I will tell everyone "I LOVE YOU MAN!" @kittyflufi123 (I love you!) @justvoidsdumbstuff1 (I love you!) @fenrirwolfofwar (I love you!) @dreamcrow (I love you!)

I posted the cover of Gohan, Krillin, Vegeta, and Piccolo in chat and @dreamcrow said, "teacher's aide tasked with wrangling the delinquent second graders on the field trip. vegeta is the only one on a leash" so I had to stop and draw that.

the cover, because he's absolutely right:

writing patterns (tag game)

tagged by the talented and magical @dreamcrow

list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics, and see if there's a pattern.

The Dark Presence killed <♾️ versions of Warlin Door instantly. — Backstage (Alan Wake 2, Door/Various)

2. To my lustrous colleague, As far as Sathona is concerned, you are a “devil.”  — eulogy (Destiny 2)

3. Eris’ old room at the Tower had been empty for years. — Nostos (D2)

4. Earth rumbled, sending stone skittering across the ice-cold hallway. — gesture activated (HZD, Aloy/Sylens)

5. When Saga fell into the Dark Place, the lights in the talk show studio were on. — if you can tap your foot to it (AW2)

6. “I can do this myself.” — Lauda Finem (Quantum Break drabbles, Martin Hatch/Various)

7. When the Guardians breach Oryx’s throne world, Ir Halak wonders whether she should warn Oryx her father. — Invasion (D1)

8. The practice was done, the drills over, the rewards earned. — the latest Destiny 2 drabble (Eris/Toland)

9. “I will not tithe to you,” said Toland the Shattered, and Eris Morn’s heart gladdened for it. — Ablution (D2, Eris/Toland)

10. The designer of Regional Control Center 9 had installed three doors between the wilderness and the workshop before the Faro swam ate the world. — Signal in Static (HFW, Aloy/Sylens)

Wow, weird that ten brings us exactly back to Signal. Mostly I'd call these opening lines "scene setting" as opposed to dialogue or pure prose. The best of all of them, I think, is Invasion's first line: the character, the setting and what the character wants are all established very quickly. The same is true of the opening line in Signal, but not unless you've read the rest of the series and know about how these people think about doors.

for the fic ask meme: toast, wonder, bird? :v

fanfic guessing game! :3

Toast: I haven't written about the perfectly-toasted marshmallows in the next chapter in the camping fic yet, but trust me when I say it'll be there! >:0

Wonder: In the camping fic chapter I just posted

"Hm…" Toby couldn't help but get distracted. Despite his love for geology and fossils, there was something about the crystal clear spring that he couldn't get his mind off. "I wonder what's in there."

Bird: Nothing I haven't posted so far, so here it is in Parenting 101 BC

Life in the camp began at dawn. Birds sang, babies cried, and the humans woke up, some more willing than other.

icb you asked me to draw soulful jester. i put my trust in you, and you ask me to draw soulful jester.

can't focus on making good art anymore tonight, send in some silly ideas for me to draw instead? :)

[sidhewrites]

ghost boys and/or tutor and wizard? 👀

WIP Asks

Wiggles at you! Ghost boys is actually not even about boys but I couldn't think of a better name for it since titles are just. The worst.

I don't think I ever actually gave the main character a name, but it's vibes are so good. Basically MC nearly died as a kid and can now see spirits (more along the lines of the ones in Spirited Away than actual ghosts). After years, she's able to move out of her parents' flat in the big city to a tiny little town on the edge of the woods, and rents a room from a family there.

Slowly, she learns independence as she gets closer to her landlady's oldest son, a man about her age who is largely nonverbal and makes a living gardening and doing maintenance around town. It's a really cute soft romance / coming into your own story that I just haven't had the muse to write yet

rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern!

tagged by, no one! I saw @reitziluz open invitation, and this looked not only fun, but very interesting too!

I'm going to exclude the original work. And will progress from latest, to oldest.

It was a Tuesday.

Kageyama-kun’s Shishou sauntered, not even speed walked, but sauntered into the Claw 7th Division building, convincing those around him he was in charge with style and silver tongue alone. 

Gotou Kouji looked up from his dinner.

It wasn’t caused by some sort of psychic force.

The multiverse is a wonderful strange kaleidoscope of a thing.

It was Saturday, the day Reigen generally allowed himself to sleep in.

Adora already knew it was going to be one of those days the moment she woke up. 

Perhaps it spoke more to the convention of stories that seemed to permeate Überwald at times like a mist, or, rather, a conveniently timed lightening crack - regardless the Amazing Maurice and young Ainsel (it means fox) Fuchs were able to find a roadside inn to stay the night before it got too dark.

Young Sam Vimes had just about had it.

The Duke and Duchess of Sto Helit were on their way to pick up their darling daughter Susan from The Quirm College for Young Ladies.

___〆(・∀・) Hmm the pattern I'm getting is...either the sentence never ends, or it is very short. Days of the week seem to be a thing. And to the surprise of no one, it's mainly Mob Psycho 100 stuff, or Discworld!
