WIP Weekend Game

Tagged by @scarcrossdlvrs and @patchworkgargoyle and @starryeyedjanai

Rules from the original post:

In a reblog (or new post w/ rules attached), post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.

Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!

After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can’t share from (for example, an event fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.

That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. If you tag me in your post, I will send you an ask request!

If you’re reading this, you’re invited!

If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.

File list:

Crown of Thorns

Nightswimming (Steddie Bigbang)

The Prophetic D&D Game

Time Travel

Chart:

I'm only putting up the 4 Stranger Things fics from my last week for now but I suspect I will also write things from other stuff tomorrow because Weekend Writing Marathon is having a super sprint Saturday tomorrow and I usually try to write a lot on those. Join us, if you want.

Snippet and Tags beneath the cut

Snippet from Crown of Thorns. Do you want the little bit of Rockie I'm writing in? 'Cause that's what you're getting:

“We’re going to go stay with my aunt Gertie in Kansas,” Vickie said. “Mom didn’t want to at first, because they have a new baby and absolutely no room, but they offered, so off we go. At least I can still help by babysitting, I guess? I hope we can come back soon.”

“I hope so, too,” Robin said. They were just wrapping up their shift and more workers were coming in to relieve them, and she didn’t know how to say goodbye. “I mean, I’ll still be here, so I can call and give you updates when we get the all clear?”

“That’s so cool that your parents let you stay,” Vickie said. “I’m not brave enough to stand up to mine.”

Vickie reached out first for a hug, and Robin felt awkward about it until she felt her really squeeze tight. She tucked her head against Vickie’s and whispered, “I’m glad you’ll be safe.”

When they pulled away from each other, she could see that Vickie was on the verge of tears. “I don’t actually know my aunt’s phone number,” she said, “or else I’d write it down for you.”

“Oh, here.” Robin grabbed a pad of paper and wrote Steve’s number down. “I’m staying with Steve until this all clears up. He’s basically running a halfway house for his stubborn friends who won’t leave. Like he’s one to talk.”

Tagging: I want you to know that I keep a running list of writers now and I've gone through to edit out the ones who have already been tagged in the two WIP weekend posts I've seen so far. This is the rest of my list. It is long and distinguished (sorry not sorry).

it's all fun and games until your goofy ass kinnie jokes actually start to bring some interesting similarities to light.

Overprotective (Part 1)

Based off of this post It all came to a head with The Incident™.

You were frustrated, having just left Levi's room. You'd brought him a series that you thought he'd love, it was much more like some of the stuff he used to be into, which had heartbreak and drama, but you'd heard it had a good resolution, even if it was sad. But the second things started turning sour emotionally, he began to panic. And when he asked if you knew what would happen, and you said "I've heard about the ending, but I saved actually knowing it for you", you didn't expect what he did next. He stopped the show and took the DVD out. This started a long fight that you barely understood. Him being upset that you weren't 'taking care of yourself', and you being upset that he was trying to micro-manage what you watched! You even jabbed at him telling him that "Avoiding the sad stuff isn't healthy!" which only made him more upset. You didn't understand why, so you just left. You ran into Asmodeus, who started worrying about the stress you were visibly under. Stress isn't good for one's health. He first asked if you wanted to take a soothing bath with him, which you shrugged off, thinking that would be the end of it. But it wasn't. He kept badgering you to let him help you destress. It started very flirty at first... Until it became desperate. You continued to decline, and he became more worried, which caught Satan's attention. When Satan heard you were stressed out, several stress-related illnesses flashed through his memory and he became very serious trying to give you other options. If anything, their insistence on controlling another aspect of your life was making it worse. You were on the verge of exploding when Belphegor came around. You called out to him, but he turned right around and walked away. You frustratedly chased after him, but when you turned the corner he disappeared behind, he was gone. Instead, you found Mammon. With the shadiest bag of vitamins you've ever seen. No label, just some random supplement in a plastic bag. "You want some vitamins?" The sight would have made you laugh a week ago, but right now, it was just frustrating. "No! I want everyone to stop badgering me! And for Belphegor to stop AVOIDING me!" "Sounds like you could eat. Lemme cook you up something." Mammon was the one who was the best at reaching out. He'd been slyly learning how to cook on the side, so he could get more veggies and fruits into your diet. And the food he's learned to cook was really yummy. Begrudgingly, you accept, and he takes you to the kitchen, also giving Asmo and Satan a covert thumbs up. The two let him take care of you, seeing that your stress instantly began to melt at the idea of food. That is.. Until you got to the kitchen. Mammon begins pulling out veggies and fruit to make you a few dishes, but Beelzebub keeps hovering around to try to control your portions. No matter how much you told him it was insulting, he just couldn't bring himself to stop worrying. Mammon always makes you too much food, seeing as how he keeps trying to pack in the nutrients like they're going to culminate in prolonging your life indefinitely. Once again, you're pissed, and this time with new vigor. You finally storm out of the kitchen and out of the house, only to see Lucifer coming in from the walkway. And he's blinded by how dangerous it is for you to walk around Devildom alone. He tells you as much and you just shout "WELL I HOPE I DIE THEN, BECAUSE IT'D BE BETTER THAN THIS HELLSCAPE" while trying to brush past him in frustration. You didn't even mean the words, but no one had been listening to you and no one was giving you a chance to control anything in your life without supervision. They've been so controlling and so accidentally belittling, making you feel less-than, making you feel like a child in a house without love. Part 2

alright, as promised, here is my personal venom reading guide as of right now, october 2024. disclaimer that this is not in any way intended to be definitive or universal and i am not an authority, i've just read a bunch of venom comics in the past five or so years and have strong feelings on the matter. there's some early stuff i would consider just objectively important for anyone who wants to read and understand venom, but there's also a lot of stuff that's on here because i personally like it (or not on here because i don't). it's highly subjective and informed by my personal opinions and biases. this is also specifically a guide to (primarily) eddie brock venom comics so if you're more interested in other hosts this will not be of much use to you. i have not read every venom comic in existence (there are a lot of them) and either way this is not intended to be an exhaustive list of The Only Comics You Should Read but if you're looking to start exploring the comics i think these are a pretty good place to start if you have remotely the same sensibilities as i do regarding these characters (which to be quite honest if you're getting your comic book recommendations from tumblr dot com you probably do). long disclaimer sorry but comics are SUCH a big and kind of scary topic. anyway the list is under the cut. starred titles are ones i consider particularly high priority if you're skipping around, either because they're plot-critical or because i think they're especially good. have fun

The alien costume arc — If you're able to read a collected edition you'll probably have an easier time than if you manually jump between comics, but I've included the full list anyway. This is a stupid way to publish a story. Comics are stupid. Unfortunately this one is also essential.

Setup — Mostly regular Spider-Man stuff with minor symbiote subplot; skippable or skimmable for symbiote highlights if desired. I would suggest skimming rather than skipping, since seeing how this arc actually played out in the comics is crucial to understanding the ways in which adaptations have warped people's perceptions of the Venom symbiote and of this storyline, which I personally think is a key part of learning to understand the symbiote as a character—there are some misconceptions you've probably picked up through cultural osmosis that you'll need to unlearn if you want to get to the heart of the character, and this is the place to start.

★ Web of Spider-Man #1

Later takes on the alien costume arc:

★ The Amazing Spider-Man (2018) Annual #1 by Saladin Ahmed — MANDATORY. Essential reading for symbiote sympathizers. I have this comic on display on a shelf above my bed.

Deadpool: Back in Black (2016) by Cullen Bunn (5 issues)

Venom's appearances as a villain in David Michelinie's issues of The Amazing Spider-Man — Important if you want to understand Venom's history and motivations. Also fun!

Venom: Carnage Unleashed (1995) by Larry Hama (4 issues)

★ Venom: The Hunger (1996) by Len Kaminski (4 issues) — My favorite Venom comic!

Venom (2016) by Mike Costa (22 issues) — Symbrock central. As noted below, #159 and #160 are part of Venom Inc. and should be read in combination with the other relevant comics.

The Amazing Spider-Man: Venom Inc. (2017) by Dan Slott and Mike Costa (6 issues) — Really fascinating as an examination of how different characters view symbiotes.

Part 1: Venom Inc. Alpha (2017)

Part 2: The Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #792

Part 3: Venom (2016) #159

Part 4: The Amazing Spider-Man (2015) #793

Part 5: Venom (2016) #160

Part 6: Venom Inc. Omega (2018)

★ Venom: First Host (2018) by Mike Costa (5 issues) — A story that is interested in the ways in which symbiotes are vulnerable to their hosts in a way a lot of Marvel comics simply aren't. Also once again Symbrock central. Costa is probably the #1 Symbrock warrior, even if Kaminski is my personal hero on that front.

★ Venom: Lethal Protector (2022) by David Michelinie (5 issues) — There are no words I could possibly say that would be sufficient to convey to you how ecstatic I was when this comic was announced.

Venom: Lethal Protector II (2023) by David Michelinie (5 issues)

Venom: Separation Anxiety (2024) by David Michelinie (5 issues)

Supplementary material: 

Venomverse

Edge of Venomverse (2017) (5 issues)

Venomverse: War Stories (2017) (1 issue)

Venomverse (2017) by Cullen Bunn (5 issues)

★ Extreme Venomverse (2023) (5 issues) — Even if you read no other Venomverse comics, do yourself a favor and read the Black Cat story in Extreme Venomverse #2.

Death of the Venomverse (2023) by Cullen Bunn (5 issues)

Venomverse Reborn (2024) (4 issues) — Unfortunately colored by the bizarre nature of current Venom canon even more than Death of the Venomverse is, although neither are bad comics in and of themselves. If you want to avoid all of that entirely you can read from Edge of Venomverse through Extreme Venomverse and stop there. I don't really keep up with post-Cates Venom canon and every time I see anything about it it baffles me so deeply.

★ Superior Carnage (2013) Annual #1 by Cullen Bunn — I'm kind of obsessed with this comic. Please read it.

Hybrid (1996) by Evan Skolnick — Makes up the second half of each issue of the following comics. Definitely dated in some ways, but introduces some great symbiotes and a great host.

Venom: Along Came a Spider (1996) (4 issues)

Venom: The Hunted (1996) (4 issues)

Venom: Seed of Darkness (1997) by Len Kaminski (1 issue) — A oneshot about Eddie encountering a different mysterious shadowy alien being before he ever bonded with the symbiote, written by the author of The Hunger. Not essential reading but it's a fun little standalone sci-fi story with some nice Eddie characterization.

Phenethylamine by Leah Williams, in Marvel Comics Presents (2019) #5 — Not really a recommendation so much as... a public service announcement, I guess. Is this my favorite comic in the world? No, but it would feel negligent not to tell you it exists. There are better comics. There are comics with a better understanding of the characters. But this is the only one that's explicitly about Eddie having sex with the symbiote, so do with that what you will.

[dennisboobs]

watching glenn interviews is so funny because he will go from "lmao i play so many crazy characters, dennis is a total psychopath. we will never answer the question of whether or not he's a serial killer because it's one of those things that shouldn't be answered," to, "what? no, dennis isn't a sociopath. he's not a psychopath. he has deep and strong feelings, he's emotionally fragile and his behaviour stems from a deep insecurity. he's facing up to the fact that he was extraordinarily damaged as a child and doesn't want the same for his own kid. dennis would never actually hurt or kill the women he uses "the implication" on if they did refuse, he's relying on them not knowing him well enough to know that for sure and taking advantage of their fear. i have my own thoughts as to whether or not he's killed someone, here's a demonstration of my performance as dennis, compared to my performance as dennis if he had killed someone--"

i still get the occasional follower that has only seen random sfw meme #7592 so heres ur reminder that this is primarily my horny place so if u get jumpscared by nightwing panty shot one of these days than thats on u babe and i take no responsibility for that

October 8, 2010: NPR Fresh Air revisits a 2000 interview with Jon Wiener about his book Gimme Some Truth: The John Lennon FBI Files [listen] [full transcript]

GROSS: Did you find anything in the FBI files that were released to you that indicated that the FBI went beyond surveillance - that they ever tried to set Lennon up?

Prof. WIENER: You know, there's like a couple of documents. Their concern was that Lennon would participate in some kind of concert, rally, anti-war demonstration outside the Republican National Convention. And there's a memo from J. Edgar Hoover to the head of the Miami FBI office that suggests that if Lennon could be arrested on possession of narcotics charges he would become more immediately deportable. Now this seems to me an effort to set Lennon up for a drug bust. The FBI doesnt enforce possession of narcotics charges, that's a state offense, this is not part of what the FBI is supposed to be doing. I then filed a Freedom of Information request with the Miami FBI office, asking for their files on Lennon, to see what their response to this was. They replied to me that their John Lennon file had been destroyed as a part of a routine file destruction procedure.

GROSS: Hmm.

Prof. WIENER: Now I have to note that - know that Lennon files were collected in five other cities and none of those places destroyed their Lennon file, so we wonder what was in the Miami Lennon file that was destroyed.

Darth Ed?! Say it ain’t so!

I see people worrying about how fans will treat and characterize Ed in S2 if he goes to as dark a place as some advance viewers have claimed (and the show’s creator alluded to), and can’t help but laugh my ass off. If only there was a section of fandom that already saw Ed as having anger issues and less than healthy ways of addressing conflict and stress; but didn’t think it made him less than human, undeserving of love, in need of being saved by someone else, any worse than any of the other characters, or any less babychild. And among the subsection of that subsection, might be those who personally didn’t think he has what can be described as anger issues and/or a bit of a sadistic streak, but still didn’t automatically dismiss that view as inherently racist.

If. Only.

Because I’m sure those fans would be, generally speaking, more prepared to go into S2 (if it’s as dark as some claim/worry) without doing a complete 180 on their feelings for Ed or constantly scrambling to find ways to mitigate his actions in order to make them less horrible. Because those people been liked/loved that Ed, and/or accepted a dark-gray and complex view of him, and/or at the very least didn’t outright reject such views as inherently racist.

If. Only.

Ed already had fans (and people who dislike him but begrudgingly accept that he and That Other Creature are the leads and appreciate his layers), willing to show and argue that someome can think of him as having traits that manifest as “anger issues” without being racist about it or having arguments rooted in unexamined expectations towards non-white characters. They might even be more well-positioned to pick up on any 180-views of Ed that might be rooted in racism and double standards applied to non-white characters, since they’d have experience examining underlying arguments instead of making blanket dismissals.

If. Only.

Oh well, too bad no such fans exist.

[carsickcrow]

just watched the evil dead (1981) 👍 didn’t like it quite as much as i expected but it was pretty fun i love practical effects and men covered in blood so. good movie for that. the stop motion (?) at the end was soooo rad. now i’m watching beetlejuice (for the first time can you believe it! i was into the musical for years and years and never watched the movie)

[corvidexoskeleton]

Digging thru dragon search trying to find breeding stock for a project and grinding my teeth to dust when every dragon that would work or is in an active lair is owned by someone who either wants to keep them or who has a bullet point list on why you shouldn't talk to or ask them about anything or else they will turbo block you into hell and kill you with hammers

[catsandcatci]

confession: sometimes I just block ppl on ao3 bc I think their prose is ass

WIP TITLE ASK GAME:

Tagged by the lovely @nimata-beroya

Rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! and then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

Ok this is NOT an extensive list...we're up to 84 and *waves hand* more continue to travel to clown town and tbh I don't remember 84 people's @ that would be interested and not annoyed with me for tagging them.

So we're going with the short list. And this is a spreadsheet rather then a folder list and all are working titles.

Have at it!

Tagging with no pressure:

@snowblossomtumbles @salamanderinspace @firerose @firesign23 @panalegs27 @serenaew @lesbian-in-leather @echoofawind @sonickedtrowel @these-conquered-woodlands @queerstion @kiwiscythe @tall-wolf-of-tarth and anyone else that wants to participate!

[haus-mom]

1, 10, 20, 30 and 40! And 9!

aaaa thank you mar!!!! you better believe i'll ask you back! though when this gets posted the questions will already be on your askbox but anyway

who is/are your comfort character(s)?

AUGH I HAVE. A LOT ACTUALLY but if i had to choose a few hmmmmm

first there's ninten!!! yes that's actually his name. or ken. he's named ken in the novel. any mother/earthbound character would fit but i'm specially attached to ninten because Back Then he used to get characterized as this super silly guy with millions of penguin plushies in his room and he's just. he's a cool dude! his first and only quote in the entire game is at the end, when the adventure is over, he just plops into his bed and falls asleep mid sentence. the penguin thing is kinda canon btw. he loves penguins <3

then there's neku from twewy!!! i'm trying to go chronologically or i'll get irrevocably lost. met him through kingdom hearts and seeing as his game was on the ds i was like "eh why not" (<- this later led to a life changing experience)

he's such an idiot and i actually hate him a lot <3 (affectionate. like, really affectionate) he's the definition of a closed off edgelord but he grows so much and learns so much and dhsbhdabhjhjbhj

there's another reason why he's here though!!! twewy is played with both screens on the ds, neku being on the lower and his game partner on the upper. but i absolutely sucked at keeping track of both screens so my brother would control the partner so when i see him i smile remembering everytime my brother and i almost broke my ds in half trying to beat sho <3 it was christmas too! yay!

the fun part about being a fan of this game is that the only official art that came up when i looked him up were a super close up of his face and a spoiler. so i had to go into the game files and get this pic myself.

anyway.

this is yuuichi mizuoka from re:kinder, he's the last character someone would consider a comfort character, and he basically invented being a princess with a disorder (sort of. heart did it first)

this is also the little guy who went around biting people (like chibita!) and telling you why he's a comfort character would both be extremely spoilery and extremly sad, because i already showed you his introduction and he's just. he's a murder baby, what else do you need? the things that this li'l fella has both gone through and done are unspeakable. he's unfixable. he's also 8 years old.

honestly every parun character (that. that i know of (?) is a comfort character in the sense that if i see them i get all happy and [FLAPS HANDS]

some more than others, like, i can highlight tokimeki, gote, ramu, and if you show me a picture of handa i will actually do the 🥺face irl. does that make topema from henderland no daibouken a comfort character? wait, she actually kinda is, isn't she?

i have some more but this ask would never get actually answered if i listed them all, have the ones from my formative years (11-13 y/o, everyone's formative years, right?) honorable mentions are the second year trio from inago, kasane teto, ryuunosuke naruhodou, minori hanasato, sora kingdomhearts (that's his actual name), takane enomoto... see, this is why we go chronological, otherwise we get confused and forget characters </3

9. which do you prefer, hot coffee or cold coffee?

neither, actually, i don't like coffee and caffeine makes me sleepy, so i normally don't drink any... i don't like tea either, so i'm team third option: chocomilk :D!

10. would you slaughter the rich?

not realistically, because i'm hilariously weak (physically), but i'd gladly watch others slaughter the rich! i'd feel bad doing nothing so i can offer emotional support! i can even dress as a cheerleader. or the cheer squad from osu tatakae ouendan. hell yeah.

20. do you say soda or pop?

les digo FANTA y COCACOLA porque creo que aparte de "bebidas gaseosas" no tenemos ninguna palabra así cortita para definirla, así que en españa (no sé si en alguna parte de latinoamérica tenéis alguna) siempre les decimos como las marcas. creo que rebloggeé hace poco un post sobre marcas teniendo que ceder derechos porque la gente empieza a decirle a los productos como las marcas y me resulta hilarante

when speaking in english i say soda because, despite my (british) teacher's best efforts, i was raised by american youtubers and that cannot be undone. pop is a hilarious word to me because it is what it is. it goes "pop!" when you open it, so it's called pop!

30. is there dishes in your room?

there were two (2) dishes in my room when you sent this ask, but i decided to be a responsible adult and wash them before having dinner. there's a cup here though. from dinner. because i don't feel like leaving it in the sink just yet.

40. did you have any snacks today?

uhhhh, do chewable fruit candies count? when it's exam season i usually have a bag of snacks nearby because the sugar does wonder to my concentration ✨ might be placebo, might be me doing better because i get to have A Little Treat, who knows

(these candies have the flavour written in portuguese, i think, and i was so confused like 'what the fuck is a mirtilo 😭'

cuando vi el limón, que pues, es literalmente limão, quedé como así

[oneguardian15]

anyone wanna recommend some books for me to put on my newly revived tbr list? i like fantasy mostly (anything from witches to dragons to magic to fairies to vampires to angels & demons (i am a former good omens blog after all) etc) i love romance but not thrilled about sex. i can read it but i don’t want it to be too heavy with it. can be older or newer series/stand alones as well.

right now i’m reading fourth wing by rebecca yarros because my best friend recommended it to me (she just finished reading it). i’m almost halfway through and liking it so far.

also it doesn’t necessarily have to be a “good” book, because “good” is subjective anyway. different things make a story good to different people. plus sometimes things don’t have to be “good” for them to be enjoyable. “guilty” pleasures are soooo welcome

i’ll be honest, i’m 29 and i haven’t really read a real book since i was in late high school, early college? (like just for fun, ykwim?) don’t judge me pls.

(in my defense, i read a TON of good omens (and a few other fandoms) fanfic that were definitely long enough to be books so. it’s not like i don’t read. but that’s been a couple years now too.) plus i read comics (webtoons) and manga sometimes, which in my opinion counts.
