For the OC Details Ask Game: 🖊️💤🤓

Thank you! I'm gonna answer these for Isaac, from Project Ichor.

🖊️ BALLPOINT PEN — does your oc have any tattoos? do they want any (more) tattoos?

Isaac likes the idea of tattoos but would never get one for himself. He's too obsessed with perfection and the idea that his body is this pure thing designed only for heroics. He grew up in a household where tattoos were disparaged as "tacky" and "you know those are permanent, right?", and he internalized it too much.

💤 SLEEPING SIGN — is your oc a light sleeper or a heavy sleeper? how are their sleeping habits?

He's a light sleeper. And, after the accident that injured his arm, he's been more prone to nightmares--though not all of them necessarily all about the accident itself. Position-wise, he strikes me as a side sleeper, but I also feel like he moves around a lot in his sleep. He'll fall asleep on his side and wake up rolled all the way over, or face down on his pillow.

🤓 SMILING FACE WITH GLASSES — is your oc chatty or quiet? are they at ease in social situations, or are they more shy?

Isaac doesn't like socializing, but he's pretty good at it. Part of super spy training involves getting really good at pretending to be having a good time, and Isaac is a very good super spy. He knows exactly what to say to move an interaction along as smoothly and efficiently as possible to complete the mission. But, when those interactions happen to be with people who actually know him, he comes across as pretty awkward. Generally, when he's not being Vestige, and is instead just trying to be himself, he doesn't know what to do. For him, he'd rather non-Vestige Isaac only exist to sleep, shower, read cheap pulp romance novels, and watch bad movies. Leave the smooth-talking for the job.

Haven has borderline personality disorder.

Carter is dyslexic but no one has figured it out yet because he just goads Kira into reading everything for him.

Pickle is terrified of having bugs touching him. Despite this, he still eagerly tries to catch grasshoppers and stuff with his bare hands. Predictably, he immediately freaks out when they touch his skin.

carter and entropy

- prior to moving to red dog, carter had never met any of leana's biological children. they're all sort of scattered to the four winds. entropy is one of the youngest, along with bartholomew. (i'm still debating on whether to have bartholomew still live with leana and reginald, so he can be in blackwood school. but i haven't decided yet.)

- i think at first carter was apprehensive about meeting entropy because they were afraid entropy wouldn't like them, but entropy is happy to have a sister her own age to hang out with.

- entropy came to red dog to study the weird energy in hell's gate, and ended up just staying bc liked the vibes.

- when carter's twin sister is revealed to be living in red dog i think entropy is bummed out at first bc she figures carter won't want to spend time with her as much, but carter still makes time to hang out and ask about her research.

this writeblr is both ask and tag game friendly. just know that i can be slow to respond most days (i'm working with a low social battery and a general lack of spoons), so please be patient with me.

I didn't get any writing done this week, but I did edit a scene. Here’s a snippet:

Vietna cupped his face gently between her hands, her fingers grazing the rough stubble on his cheeks as she placed a long awaited kiss on his lips. She felt him hesitate for a brief moment before returning the gesture in kind.

Hey. You. Writer stuck in the scroll hole.

What'cha write this week?

Give us a peek?

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 💛💫✨

The sound of childhood lost

His mother’s singing had always been one of Talon’s favorite sounds.

When he was younger he heard it a lot, grew up with the soothing melody of her voice.

It was beautiful, just like his mother was. Joyful. Gentle. Calming.

His mother’s singing moved everyone, always calming a younger Talon down when he cried, always making his sister Sera smile.

It even managed to soften the usually stern expression on his father’s face, tender tunes smoothing the rough edges of his guarded heart.

Talon could’ve listened to her sing for hours without getting tired of it.

And his mother sang often, back when he was younger.

She loved to do it, for it reminded her of home. Of her childhood back in a house filled with melodies, of the hours she spent making music with her siblings.

With one of them in particular.

Kieran was his mother’s favorite brother, had been ever since they were children. And Talon, too, had loved his uncle dearly. There were times where he had felt closer to him than to his own father.

It was him who introduced Talon to the violin:

Playing for him when he was but a little baby, gifting him his very own violin for his fifth birthday and teaching him some of his favorite compositions when Talon had shown a talent for handling the instrument.

He always insisted that Talon had a special gift, that he was even better than Kieran himself.

This claim had filled Talon with pride, but secretly he had always disagreed.

No one played the violin quite like his uncle did. No one made people weep, made them smile or laugh or dance with their music like him.

Like his mother’s voice, Kieran playing the violin was one of Talon’s favorite sounds.

And combined, he adored it even more.

Whenever Kieran came to visit them, him and Talon’s mother would play music. And Talon had loved it.

Together, the two made for a melody that was quite enchanting, an harmony unlike any other.

The harmony of two siblings that loved making music - and loved each other.

It was the sound of his childhood.

Until one day, the music stopped. Kieran died, sudden and unexpected.

And with the death of her beloved brother, his mother’s singing went silent.

And by research I don't mean reading an article written by a doctor and calling it done. Please read about the experiences of disabled people, look up harmful tropes and avoid using those.

If the concept of being respectful toward people with the disabilities you're protraying makes you upset, imagine how we feel.

Edit:

[image id: the once again bernie sanders meme. the caption reads: “i am once again begging for you to research disabilities before writing them.” /end id]

Thank you to @rhikasa for the ID

[outpost51]

I’ve always seen it as supernatural dealing more with matters of the soul, the afterlife, etc that are beyond human understanding whereas paranormal is just that — adjacent to normal. This is oversimplified for brevity’s (and spoons) sake, but that’s it for me! The two tend to be used interchangeably though, and I prefer using “paranormal” for my romances despite incorporating elements of both.

What, in your opinion, is the difference between paranormal fiction and supernatural fiction and which genre do you prefer?

🔪🩸👻 🧛‍♀️👽

I've been looking for a good way to define the differences in the genres but I can't find a good example online, so I thought I'd ask my writeblr friends since y'all are into this stuff like I am! Please lemme know what you think makes these genres different and why you like a specific one, please! 😊❤️

White Squall

Rating: Teen and Up Audiences Word count: 7,385

When an ignorant social club of amateur occultists have gotten their hands on an authentic grimoire and caught the attention of a worship-hungry beast from the Otherworld, or when overambitious city planning breaks ground in the wrong spot and awakens something cold and ancient hibernating underground, sooner or later Annex will get a call. And when the problem is persistent and lethal enough, Annex will drag Devilant out of bed.

A prequel short story for Everything with Teeth, so it might be considered spoilers for the main storyline, but I got bored of sitting on it so I figured I may as well share it. The first encounter between Devilant and Madrigal.

PLIGHT OF THE ORACLE - WIP (RE)INTRODUCTION

BLURB

Power corrupts even the most worthy.

Newly proclaimed Crown Princess, Sicosa Dy Altrium, is sent to Zenier to study under the High Priestess. During her stay the Conclave of Nite meets to discuss the state of The Nite Treaty and the threat to the five hundred years of peace. Sitting in for her father, Sciosa realizes The Nite Region is in deeper water than one thought. With ill omens and whispers of the hells gates opening, The Last Dawn is near. Sciosa must take up the mantle to unite the Nations, as is her calling from the gods. With visions of a would be enemy warning her of those around her, the Princess finds herself struggling to know who to trust. Those who are working alongside her who've earned her trust, or the man with kind words and love in his eyes. When the King of Saevi is proclaimed dead, one thing remains clear; peace will never be an option for the war riddled Nite Region.

In the South, past the Glistening Sea, Vultis seeks to conquer Nivra. As war wages on Zemorri of Pyros, a bastard with royalty hidden in his blood, is sent to help turn the tide. The King's Champion is tasked with returning with a holy artifact once Nivra fall, only one problem. Zemorri doesn't wish to serve the Usurper who sits his throne, nor does he intend to let Nivra fall. Though when he treats with the Nivarian King, Zemorri finds out there is much more to this war than meets the eye. He must decide, and quickly, if he will let Nivra fall and strengthen the Usurper's reign or turn a blind eye to the ruin of the Nite Region and take what is rightfully his.
