#oc work: this is the part

Fuck it Friday 🥃

Today I got a hit of inspiration for my OC work (prev snippet here) This was supposed to be the moment Sam(antha) spots Anna for the first time, but then we made friends with the bartender first ����🏻 anyways I hope you like it 😘

The bartender is clad in a hot pink short-sleeve crop top that exposes abs I’ve only ever dreamed of, and glittery gold short shorts that barely cover their ass. Sparkly eyeshadow highlights violet irises, adding to the sass of the outfit that contrasts with dark chocolate skin and nearly black hair cut close to the skin. They exude an enviable sense of confidence, an aura that seems to naturally draw people closer.  It makes me wonder if the crowds even know why they’re flocking to the bar. If they intended to get another beer or cocktail, or if they simply couldn’t resist the pull of the shimmering god slinging drinks. My more than three decades of low self esteem withers, but not before laughing at me for being afraid of speaking to another human.  “I promise I don’t bite!” They yell over the music, sending me a playful wink. “Unless you want me to. But that’s for after hours only.” Their straightforward attitude, coupled with my inability to form a response, makes me immediately want to be swallowed up by a spontaneous sinkhole. To my disappointment, the floor remains solidly beneath my feet.  With an exasperated sigh, they roll their eyes and lean in closer. “Beer?” Finally, a question I can answer. “No. Never liked the stuff.” They nod, as if taking mental notes. “Okay then, sweet, sour or strong?” “Fruity. And strong. Surprise me.” They raise an eyebrow at that, as though questioning whether I know what I’m saying, before they flip a glass from behind the counter and begin pouring from various bottles like a sorcerer.  “Here.” They push the concoction my way, waiting expectantly. I tentatively lift it, sniffing to see if I can make out any of its ingredients. Before I can, the glass is being tipped toward me, liquid spilling over my lips, most of it splashing on my tongue and some dribbling down my chin. It burns going down my throat at first, making me cough and splutter. But then it settles to something mild and pleasant, like drinking a spiced apple pie.  “You’re welcome,” the bartender says. “I know your type. Too sheltered, too indecisive and afraid of making a mistake. You needed a push.” They shrug as if they haven’t just come for my entire life in one breezy statement. “So I pushed."

from my new oneshot, 'the vexing village of vellmore' ✨ ao3 / wattpad ((it's about seb & clora visiting a cursed village and trying to figure out how to break the curse, and since it ended up being 50k words i decided to split it into 2 chapters and the next part will be out soon!🙏 also, while it does have spoilers for the raven and the snake, it's a standalone story and can be read blind💖))

oooh im also curious about this is the part

thank you for asking about this one (also asked by @theotherbuckley). I have not touched it in ages but I'd like to publish it as a wlw book one day:

The details are foggy, but the loose premise of it is Sam, a woman who has obviously been hurt, and had her heart broken, enough times that the whole idea of Romantic Love seems ridiculous and unattainable. She is recently new to being on her own, without a partner, for the first time in a long time. All those factors considered, the last thing she wants is any kind of strings attached relationship. Not so much as a single frayed thread. She just wants to have fun and do what she wants. In the process of rediscovering herself, and letting loose, she meets Anna. Anna is younger, just the right amount of entertaining and distracting. So what's Sam supposed to do when Anna starts to become more than that?

A little snippet of Sam being awkward with the hot bartender

“this is the morning report!”

>_>

<_<

So I had Zazu x Scar brain worms… which resulted in this commissioned work (character artwork by cozymochi; the background is ripped from the game).

The concept for this piece is sbdviqnskw “a few years later”, in which Leona has graduated and is now dutifully serving as a nonspecific government official in Sunset Savanna and Raven is on her fourth year internship as a royal scribe. She’s trying to deliver the daily morning report, but I don’t think Leona’s in the mood for it right now 😅 The usual bickering ensues… I guess some things never change?

I wrote a thing to go with this but the longer it got, the more embarrassed I am to share it in full 🙂‍↕️ so I’ll leave you with my favorite excerpts (starring Kifaji, who acts as Raven’s supervisor):
