Sneak Peak: Coastal waves.

I have no Idea when this will get finished, but this is the next story in progress. Please ignore any mistakes as the whole section could change as I write it.

Say Hello to the opening of Coastal Waves

Dream was pissed as he tried not to throw his cell phone across the room, the faint voice of Sapnap just adding to the ever-growing stress headache, how could so many years of hard work go to waste just like that! He worked too damn hard to find a viable Mer egg case that wasn’t just a lousy shark one they imitated and nearly lost an arm when he took out the guarding parents at the nesting sites, he can’t have lost his property now. He brought a hand up to his face to feel the pale scar that ran from his left brow down to his and across his eye to his nose, remembering the pink-haired merman that he fought, that was the only fish he halfway respected, but also hated as they were an ambassador.  He remembered almost punching the television when he saw that blank-faced bastard behind the blond one as the treaty was signed, why should he be friendly to a talking goldfish?

 “Dream?? What do we do about Tommy, how do we find out who took him?”

Sapnap’s voice continued to be grating on his ears as he sighed,” I have cameras in the house, I’ll be able to watch the footage while you get over here, so hurry up.” He ended the call before the man could respond, quickly walking over to his computer to check over the files, starting from today up to the day he left the mer… and couldn’t help but snarl in rage at the sight he saw. The door being broken down by men in black suits, a familiar-looking brunette, and finally the pink hair bastard striding in like he owned the place. Dream couldn’t help but sweep the books off his desk in rage, of course it would be him. He was almost ready to slam the laptop shut when he watched the interactions between the three Mers and felt his mouth drop as the mer drank a large glass of water … before they swallowed his Tommy. It also began to almost talk to its middle before the group left, why would they eat their offspring that way, did they want to make him last longer? There was no way to recover his tool now… But Dream was quickly struck with a thought… what if they didn’t truly eat Tommy… He rolled over to one of his journals, flipping through the worn pages until he got to the sketched anatomy of the mer... and noted how in a human the esophagus would solely lead to the stomach, but it branches in mers. One pathway led to a stomach more powerful than any human’s, but the other led to a separate organ… one that shared a wall with a lung… which meant it also received oxygen. The perfect place to store away tiny offspring that could easily be eaten by a predator, nothing can get them if you eat them first.

Dream couldn't help but let a smile grow across his face…he could get his Tommy back

Why I've been away (adulting sucks)

Hey everyone JKknight here, it's been a long time since I posted or interacted with anything on here huh. Believe me, I would love to be here more often like I used to but I sadly can't.

I work and have classes full time, and I'm actively trying to move and sell my current home. It doesn't leave me the time to write for fun anymore, despite how I want to.

But I want to let you know I am still one of us. I love this little community and it brightens my small bit of free time to see everyone else creating and communicating with one another.

While it may take much longer for this old lady to make another story, I am still here and see all of you wonderful people still, and it's fantastic to watch you all grow.

[jkknight98]

I miss writing ..no, I miss fun writing I’ve written so many research essays in the past few months. 

I’m almost close to tears at this point…

Adult life/completing a major sucks so bad.

Good Morning/Evening

It has been a few months since the fiasco of the decreasing Choccy milk supply and rest assured, the culprits have been apprehended and dealt with.

We would like to just thank you for continuing to produce incredible content and making many people smile during the time of investigations. Your deeds have not gone unnoticed.

We would also like to apologise for suspecting you of theft and to show our gratitude of complying with us, give you a full crate of Choccy milk.

Please continue to create wonderful and fantastic things as we the society love it.

Happy Holidays and kind regards,

The Choccy Milk Society.

When did this come to my inbox??? I know I'm finally back on Tumblr to post a story after so long.,but apparently, my crate of Chocy milk has no doubt expired.

Yeah my parents helped me pay for the 4 different Drs visits I had this month (one if them was 107 alone). That's a whole another issue with living in the states, but cars are very expensive in their own right, even if you get a used one.

I hate how in America it's like-

The only way to get this well paying job is to have this education

The only way to get this education is to pay thousands of dollars

If you don't have the money you can't get the education or the job

With minimum wage job your paid x amount of money

It's not enough for a house

It's not enough for bills/taxes

It's not enough for medical help

It's not enough for a steady supply of healthy food

So you need a well paying job

To get that job you need to pay for the education

You can't but you can pay it back in debt

Then after you get your well paying job (if you even make it out of college) you pay back college and end up with a little more than what you were making before

Even then, most jobs still aren't enough for a house unless it's something that pays you thousands of dollars a shift

The only way to have enough money to afford the basic human needs to survive would be to combine wages with one or more people and probably live with them

Let's say you end up doing that through marriage and you have a kid

Now the government wants you to pay extra for your kid, instead of just paying more for food and clothes and such for them, there are bills for having a dependent on the house

So then a large percentage of you and your partner's wage is spent not keeping the kid alive but to the government for keeping a kid- and that's only one kid, imagine having multiple

And so you kinda end up back at square one, budgeting and saving and hoping you have enough money to make it through the month

And that's the middle class

The middle class

The only way to live comfortably in America is being part of the high class (I don't think that's the right name but whatever) or being Upper middle class and even then that just means you don't have to worry about having all the money for bills by the end of the month, when it comes to recreational stuff well either you don't have the money or you're going to have to save up for it

This is- I can't be the only one who thinks this is all a bunch of bullshit! Like- why are we literally paying to stay alive!? Why do we have to work the longest shift possible just to make sure we have money to keep our home and have food

Yeah there's countries that have it worse but like- America is supposed to be a wealthy country but the people here are also being exploited because for some reason the minimum wage is lower than the living wage and it's almost impossible to get a good paying job because practically no one can afford college and no one is going to hire you without a degree apart from someone who's going to work you as much as possible and pay you as little as they can

It's bullshit!

[jkknight98]

How have I written 37 stories?!?!?

No seriously, how have I done this without realizing it? why didn’t you people tell me?

I need to look at my life choices a bit closer now.

[jkknight98]

I really love this community some days, I'm sure you all have or will see the “I highly recommend following the person I reblog this from” post floating around.

I would bet good money that it's going to be in every creator/lurker's timeline for the next few days because we all support one another even if we've never spoken a word to one another. I remember when the community was very small, but has now grown so much (I can't even keep track of anyone anymore, it's nuts to me). It has been a absolute joy to be on this journey with you guys.

I'm going to end my old person ramble with this, I hope everyone has a wonderful new year despite the hardships we all faced. We are all here for each other and I personally hold a lot of love for you all.

Happy new year's nerds✨🎆🎇

Future works...in the future?

Look I really don’t know what to do with the title but This was inspired by how squishys-soft-stories writes out their snippets for their stories and I wanted to do something similar while I’m fighting with writer's block. I hope you guys enjoy reading these little snips and prep for the stories to come. These are in no particular order and I have no clue which will be posted first.

A friends in the wall story: A good afternoon

In this story, Ranboo and Techno take an afternoon away from the normal chaos of the household. They bond over shared abandonment and discrimination for their appearances by the people around them who were supposed to protect them, all while enjoying the serene nature around them. They grow closer over this story as even though they came from terrible backgrounds, they now have both each other and a family that loves them more than anything. Plus there will be turtles.

Coastal waves

This is the sequel to tidal waves and will show how Phil reacts to the newest family member and we get more behavioral interactions between the mers. We will also gain insight into the relations between mers and humans, and why Dream acts the way he did to Tommy. There also may be a confrontation between the sbi and Dream, leading to some very dramatic interactions (may have a separate ending on the after hours channel to fully highlight the gore I want to use and in relation to proper mythology)

 Scaled Sanctuary

Tommy runs away from his abusive home late one night when he just couldn’t stand it anymore so he decided to take his chance out into the forest. He doesn’t get too far since he picked the night a heavy thunderstorm moved into the area and he was forced to take shelter in a cave he finds, where he is (un)lucky to find a Naga Technoblade trying to hibernate through the cold weather. Now the naga doesn’t really care for the human child, but when said child scrambles deeper into his coils over the sound of a distance voice, even that could warm a cold blooded heart.

History made :A familial forest Au story

This is a story set a good few years (decades) before the start of the current story line. We get to meet the dragon Dream when he was still a late teenager in our terms and meets the one creature that he would protect with his entire being (I bet you can’t guess who that is). We also meet George, a young Witch who is being chased by witch hunters into a seemingly random forest from the village he lived in, and managed to meet our scaly friend. This is where their bond forms and we learn more of their shared hatred of humans. The boys frick up and bond their souls in a spell mishap.

Tw for talk of death, recent events, depression. This is going to be a ramble.

Passing on has always been a topic I've found difficult to discuss, especially when the topic of cancer is involved.

I've had very close family members of mine face the same battle that Technoblade did, in fact two of them had the same snarkiness that he was famous for (but if he was in the body of either a 57 yr woman with a glass eye, or a 78 yr old woman who could still kick ass at her age). But this is a very unfortunate fact of life.

It's a mix of terrifying and sad to hear someone the same age of you passing away, I like to joke about feeling old, but 23 is still very young.

I got involved with the smp around the same time that Techno did the butcher army arc and he quickly became my favorite of the entire group, I would risk watching his streams during both class/work no matter the time because I enjoyed his content, especially on the days my depression returned. He would metaphorically able to drop kick those thoughts away and I would feel better again.

To answer a question that I've seen whirling on the discord and may get asked in the future. I’m not going to be writing any stories involving Techno anytime soon (which means the au I was currently planning with a fellow writer will be shelved), this isn't to say I won't write for Character Technoblade again. I'm a firm believer that focusing on the good feelings and inspirations a person gave us is the best thing to do, rather than focusing on our sorrow and pushing them away. To me (and this may just be me) doing that would allow their memory to fade and I couldn’t stand to do that.

Though his physical self can finally rest after such a long battle, his memory will forever live on in our minds, artwork, animations, and stories.

So blood for the blood God, and the memory of Technoblade will never die.

Silly nom thought I had while eating lunch today that I had to share here because my coworkers would never understand.

Say you have two characters (imagine whoever you like) who are a human and forest spirt/elf/fae creature. Noms are pretty common between the two as the smaller character likes the warmth and safe feeling while the human enjoys having their friend close to them and their taste, a taste that so eerily familiar but the human just can’t place it at all.

Cue one day the two are relaxing together and talking about different things when the human asks about the smaller’s home land, “my homeland? Oh we just call it the hidden valley.”

This makes the human jerk up quickly with a loud cry of triumph as they finally know what the painfully familiar taste it,” that’s what you taste like, fucking ranch dressing!!” The human now has to apologize for shaking up the smaller and having to explain what ranch is, then making a plan to bring some safely into the forest for the smaller being to try.

While I have been battling a mystery illness that’s changed from double ear infections, tonsillitis, to now respiratory issues i have had to block our old friends the porn bots.

17 of them

I'm getting real tired of this mess

[jkknight98]

I've just realised something, we are the exact opposite.

I think I've seen you write more tiny Wilbur stuff then me and I've written more giant Wilbur.

Also you've just written more then me.

I'm thankful to you, I remember people complaining.

I bow down to you, thanks to you I can write the same trope with out guilt.

:D

Really? I never noticed that I did that, but I’ve written so many things I wouldn’t notice the pattern. 

There’s no need to bow or be thankful to me, I’m just me doing my weird hobby of writing. I am glad that I can help encourage people to write the things they want to without any negative feelings. It also neat to me to have a “opposite”.

And don’t worry, Complainers are just minor entertainment for me.

[jkknight98]

Just a little doodle I made just for the fun of it, but you two will hopefully know who you are. It really makes my day to see your usernames pop up on my screen after I make something.

(And excuse my poor drawing skills)

[jkknight98]

When you really want to answer asks and write stories. But you have 3 assignments due that have multiple parts each and have to prepare for recording yourself later in the week.

Gosh do I want the world to pause for at least 5 minutes

[jkknight98]

I don't know whether I should protect my lava lamp in case pixiethesizeshifter tries to drink it, or be fearful it gains sentience like Slime and Yui are suggesting.

It stays in the closet for now
