Writing Share Tag!
Thank you for the tags! I remember when I had enough free time to answer each tag game separately. Working life is not for me. 😔 As you can see though, I do keep them all and I appreciate being included in the writeblr community! ❤️️ I'm also reading all of them of course, but recently my spoon situation has been disastrous. I want to pick up providing feedback again; maybe this will hold me accountable!

This snippet is from Flu O'Clock, a story in the on your hands and your knees, do you feel in charge? series. Classic sick!fic with my end goal being platonic OT3. Want to see how that's going?
Telford could appreciate the directness, and he wasn't about to do harm to himself just because he didn't like the taste of something. That was more Rush's speed, though he wisely didn't verbalise that thought, accepting the canteen and knocking back the stuff as quickly as he could without risking hurling it up again. "Good boy," Rush said, still in an aggressively casual tone of voice. Everett coughed. Rush did that thing where outwardly he completely ignored the sound, but Telford could see that all of the man's senses were trained with extreme interest on Everett, keenly awaiting any trace of pull on the line. Of course he got exactly what he wanted, because Everett just wasn't able to help himself, in far too many areas of his life. "You said you had work to do?" he asked Rush, proving the one thing he didn't possess was any degree of subtlety. "I think I'll work in here today," Rush said, the way he'd stated it as a fact without even an attempt at the faux politeness of asking if that would be alright designed to press Everett's buttons, specifically his agreeable-unless-you-don't-acknowledge-my-authority one. "Do you really think that's necessary?" Everett responded, overly mild. "He needs his rest." Rush placed the back of his hand on Telford's forehead. Telford heard Everett stand up. That's right, he thought with no small amount of amusement, fight like dogs over me. He relaxed beneath Rush's cool skin, allowing his eyes to drift closed. "I won't be a bother," Rush offered, in a tone far too soft to be used in company, in Telford's opinion. "I just think--" Everett started, only to be immediately interrupted. "I don't care what you think." "Rush." "What?" "You're going to calm down," Everett ordered, doing a terrible job of remaining calm himself. "I'm not the one yelling," Rush retorted, blunt but with a level enough voice that Telford knew Everett would find infuriating. "Maybe you'd like to practice using your inside voice." "Listen!" Everett hissed, clearly restraining himself from moving any closer. "You can't--" "I can do whatever I damn well please." The bed shifted as Rush stood. "You're not going to fucking touch me." Invoking Telford's unspoken protection was an odd play, but one of the best things about Rush was that he never did what was expected of him, always keeping those around him on their toes. Everett let out a warning rumble and Telford cracked his eyes open to see the two men standing nose to nose, staring each other down with no attempt from either party to conceal their aggression. "You know," Telford remarked pointedly. "If you two want to fuck you can have the bed." The twin scandalised expressions he received in response were well worth the headache the argument had set raging inside his skull, a bull deciding his brain would make a nice china shop to run riot in.

For everyone who tagged me this week that I may have missed, thank you so much again! 💛✨
Now, onto the smoochin 💋✨
Rules: From your Story/WIP, share a kiss. It can be any kiss, from familial pecks on the cheek, forehead kisses, platonic smooches, to full-blown makeouts. Spread the love! ❤️
For those of you that don’t have a kiss ready, no worries! You can treat this tag as a writing share instead! 💚
Rules: Share a snippet of your writing!
Draft 2 of YWIMC is almost complete, so I figured I’d celebrate with a smooch from Ali and Noah 🧞‍♂️✨
“‘Uhibuk….” Noah closed his eyes as Ali leaned in for another gentle kiss.
“‘Uhibuk….” Ali whispered against his lover’s luscious lips, connecting them in a slow, methodical rhythm.
‘Ali….’ Noah hummed in his mind as he moaned into the kiss. ‘….make me yours.’
Ali smirked into the kiss as a low rumble escaped his own throat. ‘Is this a wish, Noah, or a command?’
‘A command.’
‘In that case, who am I to refuse?’
Leaving this tag +open and gently alerting the tag list. Happy smoochin, and spread the love far and wide 💛💫✨

let's close this damned time loop.
Tumblr media
"Arthur, I love you. We have to go."
If you've been waiting for the entirety of the work to publish before starting, this is it, baby. 167.1k words of Weird Western horror romance and time loops.
Start with the prologue, Hofer will tell you everything you need to know.
Thank you to everyone who has provided beta reading, historical and/or military accuracy feedback, and/or emotional support (which I then repaid by supping on your tears.) This project turns one year old on September 1st, and though I did the first three drafts in relative isolation, it would not have achieved its final form without about a dozen people, who know who they are and will be acknowledged in a separate post.
HAPPY MONDAY

This detail is absolutely divine. From the muscles to the larynx, and how they overlap. You are amazingly talented ✨
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I wanted it to look like one of those old anatomy books for med students where the subject was still drawn by a medical artist, hunched over a dead body and trying to get every Itty bitty detail
In hindsight I'm surprised I managed to pull this off from a drawing alone without making a model

🌐7 Circles🌐 An Intro Presentation
There's no such thing as being too late to a trend (is what I'm telling myself here.)
Made using Canva. Extra slide via link cuz Tumblr caps at 10 pics. Also may be better quality.

FRIED MIXED (writing share NOT as usual.... 📷)
Tagged/called to action by @tragedycoded here
@cowboybrunch here @the-golden-comet here @wyked-ao3 here and here and here
wip TSA / The scarred angel
SO.... not the usual writing share since I don't really have many new lines that I haven't share already .
BECAUSE I'm trying to OUTLINE the F.....G PLOT 😈 (about time !) ....making baby steps.
So, here you have .....the "plot" 👇👇
Tumblr media
And (just) a few lines 😉:
..........Ashley at first locks eyes with hers again then her lips twists in a half shit-eating grin : "That was lame" she breathes out, more like talking to herself.
.................................
*********
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Oh and : Tumblr has messed around with the followers recently I'm tagging everybody (do whatever you want with it)
(If we were mutual and we're not anymore let me know ! )

Thank you @fortunatetragedy (x) (x) @lychhiker-writes (x) and @lancedoncrimsonwings (x) for the tags! 🤗
Sheppard's getting there, guys! He's actually fucking getting there! 😈
He pressed his hand more firmly against Todd's, sensing the pleased rumble he received in response not through his hearing but through his mind, not dissimilar to how Atlantis would wait with bated breath for him to be alone at the end of each day so she could slide into his mind and exist within him and beside him and as him all at once. He'd never told a soul how connected she really was to him, fearing repercussions of compromised and unreliable and mentally unsound. There was nothing the others would understand of the bond. Not even Teyla who had described in detail the desperation of the hive she'd commanded to please her. Because she hadn't wanted it. Sheppard did. Atlantis was beautiful. She needed him. This, this was a fuzzy tickling at the edge of his consciousness, an image seen through a sheen of heat haze, the details blurred and impossible to define, a secretive rivulet of desire that ran deep and had been buried beneath layers upon layers of sand. The desert got bitingly cold at night, Sheppard knew with intolerable familiarity.

The Mistress of Rosehorn Hall, Chapter 5: The Trap
Tumblr media
Vampire fraud? Vampire fraud:
What for this farce, this carousel of family members masquerading as one another? Who is buried in the family cemetery behind the house? What of the wives and husbands of the lords and ladies that married into Rosehorn Hall? Sarah sees them next to their noble spouses; among those bearing the Rufus name, all but a few lived normal lives and died normal deaths. All of it centers on the Battle of Tewkesbury. The few portraits that exist from before the Wars of the Roses depict different family members than the dozen who have swapped ownership of Rosehorn Hall over the centuries. Their death dates and causes of death are also natural, at least for the time period. This is what sent Sarah on her mission in the first place: What really happened at the Battle of Tewkesbury between Lord Rufus and Sir Linwood?

favorite line tag!
@leahnardo-da-veggie got me for this one. I've been thinking about what Athena did to Brett all weekend LOL.
This is from Chapter 12 (the first October 1872 chapter) of Doom Metal Love Story. I've cut out Sullivan's ??? responses and given you the previous lines of dialogue for context.
"Sounds like something a man would say if he wanted to butter up the… fellow he was courting." "Are you buttered, First Sergeant?" "No, sir, I can't say that I am." "So I either failed," Royston slid closer, "or you're not a piece of bread." [several lines of back and forth of flirt vs. ??? until:] "You're not a piece, darling, you're the entire loaf."
I almost burst into flames when that exchange left my keyboard.
Tag! As much pressure as you want, baby, it's a Monday~

Your sculpting is absolutely fantastic!! Thank you for tagging me! The first picture I thought: “I wonder if this is Davy.” 🤔 I always love how your characters can be translated into different art mediums. Getting his three dimensions is insanely talented.
Thank you for sharing!! 💛💛💛💫✨

A Musing Monday 🎐
Today I'm musing about extradimensional spaces! Like Mary Poppin's bag, or 'eatery that connects to an isekai' anime, or your mind, even.
Tumblr media
I do think the mind is a type of extradimensional space. We fit the essence of so many places and moments and people into the folds of our memory, contained in the little box that is our skulls. We imagine worlds, we dream entirely separate lifetimes. It's wild, and amazing, and a little terrifying.
Occasionally I think about how the entire world around me is MY world- in that my only access to reality is through my own interpretations, experiences, and the senses that link to my brain, all of which may or may not be close to the truth of reality. When I die one day, my world dies too- not one creature on earth will live in the same world that I knew due to my relationship with everything perceivable to me.
Before I get TOO existential here though (or maybe I'm getting more existential)- think of what that means for writers! We are masons crafting gateways to extradimensional spaces. Through what we do, people can visit the pocket dimensions of OUR minds, dimensions that have the possibility to continue existing long after the mind/wold that created it expires. And because everyone perceives things through their own lens, writing one story and sharing it creates the potential for countless alternate dimensions; every soul that reads your work will carry their own personal version of it in their mind. If you have a hit count or something similar on your work, THAT'S how many dimensions you've created, at least.
Not only that, but when someone reads what you've written, THEIR world alters. It may be slight, your work or your post might provide a momentary reprieve from the part of their world they're avoiding or decompressing from (which is still a very important thing), or it may give them an idea of their own, it may motivate them to make one choice over another choice, it may alter the very way they think and interact with their family, their partners, themselves. You very well may alter the fabric of what a person is, the dimension of their mind warping with the way it interacts with your dimension.
Never forget that as a writer, or any creator of art for that matter, you are a world-builder, a world-shatterer, a world-repairer; a powerful and magical being that may alter the course of history. Writing is magic, and it's sorcery, and I desperately hope even the small unconfident blogs on here recognize that power.
Tagging a bunch of cool writers: @cowboybrunch @the-golden-comet @lychhiker-writes @wyked-ao3 @rotting-moon-writes
@saturnine-saturneight @asablehart @tragedycoded @autism-purgatory @marlowethelibrarian
If I didn't tag you you're still super cool! The world of my brain is just made of swiss cheese and glitches a lot 🫠💕
