#light after dark

[uncleasad]

Another 1639 words (plus some editing) today, across several hours of writing, bringing the grand total of this fic I’m not officially writing to 2784 after two days 😂

I found myself writing to a nice cliffhanger about ⅔ of the way through what I imagined that first scene to be, and at 2089 words, it’s certainly long enough to be a chapter, so I put in a little divider and started again with the last ⅓. I’m about 75% through that now, with the rest of it basically sketched out (though I’m waiting on some minutiae that affects the course it will take).

At that point, though, I’ll be done with the everything that I’ve developed in my mind over the past few years and be back to staring at a blank sheet of paper again. If I were to try to continue (and move on to officially writing this fic, rather than capturing a scene I’ve known for years), I’m afraid that what would come out would once again traumatize @persevereforahappyending, and I’m not sure I’m ready to do that—or to actually write that!

Plus, I don’t want to get too far removed from Hosie Halloween Horror that I lose my mindset and won’t be able to get back into it…I’m hoping that this little foray into this sequel will be just enough to give my brain the break it needs to figure out how to unstick itself and move forward there again…🤞

parce qu'on s'est crié des mots qui ont sali tous nos plus beaux dessins, on a hurlé des chaudières d'encre noire sur le bonheur

j'expose ma tête, mes yeux, mon cœur et mes mains

si tu reviens

something quiet, gentle, and romantic for today. I’ve been assured it’s suggestive enough for @goodomensafterdark ‘s smut war, so enjoy this soft interlude with suggestive tummy ❤️

You feel you've been here, once before — a memory that was not quite yours.

can you even call it a warm up if I'm going to bed without drawing anything big

and a sketch I made while sitting in the park today

in order to live a happy life, you must romanticize everything (and see a good therapist).

I can't stop thinking about this moment. How sudden it was. How Orym just leapt to hug Imogen after realizing that she talked with Keyleth. He's been on the edge for so long and now there is hope.

Need some help from my TVDU experts here (looking at you, @persevereforahappyending and @vervaincircle) for a tiny little piece of plot: do hotel/motel rooms require vampires to be invited in? 🙏

I went through the TVDU wiki, and it was only talking about houses, but IIRC when Elena and Caroline went to college and ended up with a non-Bonnie roommate, said roommate had to invite them in to their dorm room initially. And when Kai comes back from the Prison World in S2 of Legacies, he has to be invited in to the school (because people live there, in the dorms?).

I presume owned apartments are like houses, but what about leased apartments? They’re like dorm rooms, in a sense. And if dorm rooms require invites…they are then in a sense leased places of residence (pay a room fee to the school aka the owner, get to live in said room), so do hotel/motel rooms follow the same pattern, being short-term leased places of residence (pay for a room, get to stay there as long as the fee covers)?

These are the tiny details that drive my mind batty.

What's the observation?

OLLD drawing I can share now of Timmy after recovery and care from staying on double life and being looked after by the box boys~

He’s healthier, happier, his hair and wings have grown back out and have a pretty blue-black sheen to them (that he never knew he had bc in hels his diet and environment only let them be dull) and he just heard the sound of a portal opening for someone to come visit~!

Kyoto- Phoebe Bridgers

Pro-tip: don't think too long about how Moonshine and Bev have ouroboros arcs with family members and devils and saving the world at great personal cost. Don't think about it too hard. I definitely haven't (lying)

[fallen-flier]

absolutely nothing greater than grian saying "come with me, scar, you're my light" and scar responding with "alright i'm your light of your life, i'm following ya" immediately followed by grian being like "...i can't see."
