Fave Lines Game!

rules: share your favourite lines or paragraph you've written from one of your fics, posted or wip.

Tagged by @neverevan and @bidisasterevankinard, and thought this was a cool idea!!! We all need a little positivity and hyping up in our lives, and this is a nice change compared to this anon I answered lmao.

Sharing a section from In a drought I'll give you water cause ngl I've never been funnier than in this fic.

Eddie’s not an idiot. He was a teenaged boy once and by extension is very familiar with what dried come looks like (although his was usually in socks, not underwear). It’s more just what it’s doing in Buck’s underwear that’s got him so confused. Because Buck can’t – he’s not – surely he’s not – Eddie stands in front of the clothesline with Buck’s come-stained underwear clutched to his chest, and decides that it’s lovely weather for an existential crisis.

And also this section from You've got me whipped (Brat!Buck) cause why not!

By serious words, Eddie means he’ll have to tie Buck down and whip him with their  trusty riding crop, until Buck’s shaking with need and begging Eddie to let him come, promising Eddie that he’ll be a good boy and will never do anything like that again, but he’s not sure he can say that in front of Hen. It might give her the wrong idea. Hen pats his back, looking just like a long-suffering wife who’s had to listen to her husband lament about whoever’s winning the football for 40 years, and has finally decided that she’s going to pack her bags and move to the Bahamas. “I’m sure he’ll get the idea by the time Bobby’s finished with him.” As if on cue, the sound of a door slamming echoes through the station, and Buck traipses up the stairs, his hands shoved in his pockets and looking like a kicked puppy with his lips turned down in an adorable pout. Not exactly the look of a man who’s remorseful for having nearly gotten himself killed, but Eddie has something else planned for that.

Detroit Become Human and why does this game decide that the problem in society is individual people treating androids poorly because those androids are choking them out of the workforce and NOT the corporations and governments who deliberately designed the androids to do this

Thank you for the tag @tonguetyd! My spoons are indeed low but my sleep schedule is GONE so. Random burst of energy let's go.

I didn't know what artist to pick because I didn't want an obvious (?) one, so I'm going super niche and choosing Bright Eyes because it's been a minute since I've talked about them, and they're one of my favourites 💙

Artist: Bright Eyes

How do you feel: Nothing Gets Crossed Out

What is your gender: Bowl Of Oranges (obviously funny but also it's a beautiful song! poetic storytelling!)

If you could go anywhere: Lua

Favorite mode of transportation: Driving Fast Through A Big City At Night (yes that is the title)

Your best friend: First Day Of My Life 🥹

Favorite time of day: Sunrise, Sunset

If your life was a tv show: A Line Allows Progress, A Circle Does Not

Relationship status: I Won't Ever Be Happy Again 🥲

Your fear: Waste Of Paint

Idk who made this or not so I'm tagging randomly, no pressure to do this whatsoever! @dearscone @corviisquire @hookedhobbies @politemagic (hi!) @leonsleftbicep @melit0n

[stories-by-rie]

song pic saying tag

Rules: Pick an OC and post a song you relate to them, an image that represents them in some way (aesthetic, picrew, art, etc), and a quote of dialogue or narration from them. Totally feel free to expand and explain!

@somealienquill tagged me for this, thank you so much! i'm doing this for Ilona from the five senses, the submarine wip.

song

did i only find this acoustic version just now when i looked for the song? yes. it sounds a bit more fragile, just like ilona's right to exist lol

pic

i also got really gorgeous art for her over here actually

saying

"The fact that it was an accident does not absolve me of my guilt."

tagging (only if you want to!!): @byjillianmaria @cilly-the-writer @soul-write @cwritesfiction and @pheita and whoever wants to do this!!

[nerdy-catfish]

Hey I don’t know anything about Red dead or the bonding one but they sound interesting! also feel free to take the Tolkien OC Week one as my choice instead

Well thanks for asking about it despite not knowing the source material ^^

No one had noticed him, as usual. In fact he somehow managed to relax so much, staring into the fire with the lukewarm beer in his hand, that he didn’t notice Arthur slinking his own way over to the fire until he sat down suddenly on the stool across from him and made Kieran jump about a foot in the air.

Arthur ropes Kieran off his horse, kidnaps him, threatens to break his bones and/or kill him on multiple occasions, and can't manage to greet him three times in a day without insulting him at least twice, and yet the fandom collectively said "But what if they were friends?" and I'm so on board with that 😊

[leothil]

@transboybuckley tagged me ages ago to do this game, and as usual I'm on top of things, which is why I'm doing it now. @nazgul-of-angmar also tagged me in an pretty much identical game so I'm combining them into one post!

post a pic of: a place, animal, plant, character, season, hobby, color, gemstone, + food that reminds me of myself

our summer cottage / sheep / forget-me-not / karen wilson / spring / choir / yellow / amethyst / cottage cheese

Favourite Line Tag

I've been tagged by the awesome @oh-no-another-idea! Thanks for the tag! I'll be sharing one of my favourite bits (that are spoiler-free!) I've written for To Not Falling Off Cliffs!

But first, the no pressure tags! I'll be tagging @space-writes, @emelkae, @chauceryfairytales, @deanwax, and open tag!

Now, onto To Not Falling Off Cliffs!

Steve had made many friends over the centuries. He couldn’t help it. Someone entered his life, grew to like them and then he couldn’t imagine it any other way. He had no lips, so Steve could not smile, but whenever he saw them, he felt his jaw shift in way he could not help. Thoughts about his work were drowned out by ones that if were not pleasant, were at least wanted. He found himself making excuses to be near them, his spirits lifting in their presence. He wanted nothing more than for them to be well. It wasn’t falling in love – Steve never fell in love – but it was something more. Something that went without courtship and ritual, something that demanded nothing of the flesh. A simple bond that rang truer than anything else.

Thank you @leisoree for the tag!

Gently tagging (no pressure): @hallwriteblr @enne-uni @tea-and-mercury @fictionalbullshitter @holdmyteaplease @phynewrites

Uhm... lemme see through... haha (This one is a tad long)

The moon that haunted romances of centuries, Comes second to your beauty And the universe that God willed to be endless, Comes second to the love I have for you So, Yes, the night's beautiful, But, Oh darling, how insignificant are we In this baffling art of god, unfathomable?

Tagged by @writernopal here. Thank you!

And passing the tag to: @serenanymph @flock-from-the-void @rickie-the-storyteller @liv-is

Rules: post a line you're proud of.

I'm going with a silly one this time, since it's on my mind:

“And I have a plan.” “You!? A plan?” Gullin burst out. Lissan nodded solemnly. "You can't follow a fucking plan!"

Favourite Line Tag

Thank you to @sam-glade for tagging me! ☺️

Rules: post a line you're proud of.

Here is a line that I’ve written this week that I’m pretty proud of:

“But I didn’t. And neither did you. We’re not bad people. Just a couple of drunk, lonely, miserable losers in need of comfort right now. That’s all.”

This whole storyline admittedly came right out of nowhere… but I decided to keep it in, since it brought something fresh to the story. It’s from my main WIP, Steph’s Crew.

(Guess who says this lol)

I’m tagging these people to do this next:

@rubywrite, @gummybugg, @mysticstarlightduck, @winterandwords, @clairelsonao3

[bluberimufim]

I would like to thank @writeblr-of-my-own for the tag!

This is from the same WIP (”Black and White”) as the previous Last Line Tag game (I promise I’m working on the WIP introduction, ok?...). This one is smaller than the last because I went a little too overboard the first time...

“ It was as if some higher power had gifted them that moment of solitude, in the middle of the snow, so white and beautiful. The only sound was that of their breaths, occasionally interrupted by a few words. Even so, they barely spoke.

In the weak light of the lamps scattered throughout the garden, it was hard for them to make out each others’ faces, but the image was already so familiar that such was barely necessary. ”

I hope you liked it!

And for this I will tag @liv-is and @aurevives bc I really want to see their writing...

[pertinax--loculos]

First Line Tag

I was tagged by @ashen-crest -- thank you so much! ^_^

The rules state: share the first sentence of your last ten stories. If you haven’t written ten stories, share as many first sentences as you have.

So this is fun, because I’m a non-linear writer, so we may have to dive into the archives to find actual first lines. (Spoiler: this was a fun ol’ time. :D) Also, because I have an acute inability to perceive the singular in the word ‘line’, odds are there’s gonna be a few of these where they’re, y’know... lines. Fuck it, we ball.

Not sure who has and hasn’t done this, so randomly picking some people (absolutely no pressure if you don’t like tag games or whatever!): @oh-no-another-idea ​, @indecentpause ​, @kaatiba ​, @kaiusvnoir ​, @idreamonpaper ​, @albatris ​ and @isherwoodj ​!!

Hokay, here we go:

Absent That Night:

Latrell stared at the blank space on the wall, incensed.

ATN2 (sequel to Absent That Night):

This was not the first time Latrell had found a body in the middle of his crime scene.

It was the first time he didn't personally know the victim. So. That was novel.

CASCADE

“So you are aware what the conditions of this agreement are, Mister Johns?”

Jay leaned back in his chair, the chains binding his wrists and ankles clanking. “I’ve been given the pitch, yeah.”

Forgotten Fates

I’m gonna die because of a fucking dretter.

It’s hard to parse what’s happened in the past ten minutes or so. I just know that it’s happened, it’s happened fast, and it’s happened because I didn’t trust my instincts enough to believe what they were telling me about that message.

___RISK IT

Calden Bray was a tricky motherfucker, but fortunately I knew how to handle him.

Out of Containment (OOC)

In his dreams, he’s still there.

He walks down winding corridors that have nothing to distinguish them from the rest. Windowless, with repeating patterns on the carpet and featureless beige walls, there’s no way to tell which direction he’s going. Some latent sense of direction convinces him that they twist and turn, but there’s rarely proper corners. Intersections are even rarer.

Abandon All Hope (aka scifi horror idea)

Maddie woke to screaming alarms.

Nightmare scenario. Literally enough that it took her a few moments to realise that she wasn’t dreaming, that this was actually happening, that she was waking to red flashing lights and mechanical wailing filling her head.

Hindsight

Sometimes I wonder if it would've made more sense to get a prosthesis.

In the Shadows of Stars (now we’re really getting to older stuff, my lord)

The profile that Zayra had compiled narrowed the options down to two places.

They were both bars, both on the seedy side, both fairly well known as the establishment to go to if someone wanted to procure something that wasn’t strictly legal. They were also about as far apart from each other as they could possibly be whilst both remaining on the same planet; one in the towering structure that made up the East Dock, one hidden in the sprawl of the West Dock. And no matter how hard she tried, Zayra could not be in two places at once.

aaaaand Hellbent (lordy 0.o)

"What's the matter Lukas? You're not scared, are you?"

"No," Raleigh lied.

WIP: Rebel

I could almost smell the blood of past kills on the metal even if I couldn’t see a single speck of it.

And what sort of god used a common weapon of man?

But he did escape, didn’t he? In a more sickening way sure, but he did escape.

She was basically digging her own grave, but it was still shallow, she had time to fix this. (idk why I like this one but I do)

The realisation that I wouldn’t see her tying her hair in a new sort of braid or ponytail in the morning everyday hit me (I like this line because it's the moment mc realizes she has a crush)

Then I saw the star of the show, the dead body of Mar-15

The second time it sounded more confident but in my head it didn’t have an ounce of truth.

original prompt: "✨️when u get this u have to put 5 songs u actually listen to, publish. Then, send this ask to 10 of your favorite followers (non-negotiable, positivity is cool). 🎶✨️"

I, Carrion (Icarian) by Hozier // fav part: I do not have wings, love, I never will / Soaring over a world you are carrying / If these heights should bring my fall / Let me be your own / Icarian carrion

King by Florence + the Machine // fav part: And how much is art really worth? / The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most / But you need your rotten heart, your dazzling pain like diamond rings / You need to go to war to find material to sing

Way Out There by Lord Huron // fav part: I belong bodily to the earth / I'm just wearing old bones from those that came first / There are many more flames when mine is gone / They will build me no shrines and sing me no songs

International Small Arms Traffic Blues by The Mountain Goats // fav part: There is a shortage in the blood supply / But there is no shortage of blood / The way I feel about you, baby, can't explain it / You got the best of my love

Theseus by The Oh Hellos // fav part: Maybe that's what it's all about / We keep fixing what we know is only bound to break / What's worth saving is never worth letting go to waste / I want to mend what I've got, instead of throwing away

Favourite & ridiculous lines (tag game)

Thanks for tagging me @writinglyra to share some of my favourite and ridiculous lines of my wip. Here are my lines without context and with a translation from German to English that doesn't do them justice under the cut.

Favourite lines

Die Zeit zieht an mir vorbei, sie berührt mich nur selten, viel zu oft vergesse ich mich. Noch kann ich das Feuer in mir bändigen. Es glimmt, wartet darauf, angefacht zu werden. Die Flamme wandelt sich zu einem warmen Leuchten und ihre bläulich angeschwollenen Lippen teilen sich wie einst das Meer meiner Urahnen.

Ridiculous lines

„Selber schuld, wenn du dich in eine Sirene verliebst. Ich bin immer nass“, erwidere ich grinsend. „Der letzte Gefangene ist nur gestorben, weil du zu blöd warst, dein Wasser zu teilen!“, fahre ich Tal an. „Du Fressfeind konntest dich nicht zurückhalten, es roh zu verspeisen“, meint sie mit einer Spur Ekel in der verrauchten Stimme.

English translation of favourite lines:

Time passes me by, it rarely touches me, far too often I forget myself. I can still contain the fire inside me. It smoulders, waiting to be kindled. The flame turns to a warm glow and her bluish swollen lips part like the sea of my ancestors once did.

English translation of ridiculous lines:

"It's your own fault if you fall in love with a siren. I'm always wet," I reply with a grin. "The last prisoner only died because you were too stupid to share your water!", I snarl at Tal. "You glutton couldn't stop yourself from eating it raw," she says with a hint of disgust in her smoky voice.

Thanks @kaiusvnoir for the tag! Check out their post here.

This game is pretty self explanatory, just post your favourite line(s).

This is from The Underglory. Considering I've only written a few chapters of it, there is a surprising number of lines that I actually like.

Something had been watching him the whole time, had lured him down here to where it sat like a fat spider at the centre of a web.
