Looks like it! (In reply to your tags)

Sometimes people tag me in ask games, not as a participant but as an answer to "whose your favorite author?" and I get to see my name listed next to people like Neil Gaiman, Jane Austen, Terry, Pratchett, Tamora Pierce, Douglas Addams, Diana Wynne Jones, and I just have to lie down and breathe for a minute because I am so mean to myself when I'm writing.

I get so angry and frustrated that my ADHD means I've been writing the same chapter for a month. My physical health means I got nothing done for an entire year except survive, and I always feel behind and struggle to even care about what I'm doing some days.

It punches the wind right out of my self-loathing in a way countless hours of therapy a week can only aspire to. Seeing someone state with exclamation marks and firm resolve: That One. I want that one. This one is my favorite.

Like, what the fuck do you mean I'm someone's favorite author? I mean, thank you, but are you sure??

WIP Whenever Tag ✍️

Thank you for the tags @darkurgetrash and @lemonsrosesandlavender!! 💖💖💖

SO I am fighting with Deeply and Immovably So, and to keep the writing flowing, I *did* start a little Halsin x Tav one-shot. It's not to take away from the long fic so much as to keep my writing sharp while I keep working away at my main WIP (I also haven't introduced a short story series I am playing with right now that I think you'll all love).

SO here is some of what I have written thus far (content warning for mentions of blood and some violence):

Tagging @voloslobotomyservice @commander-krios @kimberbohwrites @savriea @barbwillbrb and whoever else would like to tackle this!

“Get up!”

She was hoisted up by two of her guards and taken down a short flight of stairs, the tips of her boots trailing behind her as they dragged her. Prior to fifteen minutes ago, had anyone told her that she could be overpowered by a group of goblins, she would have scoffed at them.

Then again�� she’d also set the scene rather nicely so that she would be captured. Now, she wanted to make sure she gave them a good performance. They’d done all the hard work, after all.

All they needed to do now was toss her into the empty prison cell to the right of the staircase…

…except they trudged past it and went straight ahead…

…towards the cell that held a rather large, rather incensed cave bear.

Shit.

Shit.

Shit.

The bear bristled, its lips peeling back into a snarl as Tav and her goblin entourage approached.

She didn’t need any additional encouragement. Tav forced her feet forward, planted them onto the floor, before pushing back, fighting to throw the goblins off kilter. This hadn’t been the plan. She was supposed to land in an empty cell or, had luck been with her, in the same cell as the archdruid—not some half-starved bear.

Three of her guards detached from the cluster surrounding her to prod the bear through the bars of its prison with their spears—they didn’t even have the decency to use the blunted ends of their weapons. No, they stabbed at it with their chipped and tarnished points.

The bear lurched away from the bars, its snarl burning away to a roar. It swiped at one of the spears, splintering its shaft and sending half of it skittering into the shadows behind it. The fur on its left front leg started to mat with blood and its large brown eyes were feral with rage. It slammed against the bars in an attempt to grab at the goblin that caused it injury, clawing at empty air as the creature bounded back, grinning delightedly.

Had Tav been reluctant to get in the cell before, she was downright opposed now. She thrashed against the goblins holding her—only to be promptly reminded that one of the camp’s bugbears had accompanied them into the worg pens. She was reminded with a swift strike to the side of her head.

Her vision swam. Her arms were released and she slumped to the stone floor. She was vaguely aware of the grit biting into her cheek and the tacky pull of the drying blood puddle on her skin and clothes. Its rusty stink was only enhanced by the clinging stench of old piss and shit.

“He’s all ready for you,” one goblin said to her before turning to the others standing idly by. “What are you waiting for? Get that fur ball away from the door! Now!”

Oh, of course they wanted to rile the beast up before tossing her into its den. The mauling to follow would only be inevitable. Hopefully it would steer clear of her skull when it supped on her—she was none too sure how a tadpoled cave bear would pan out. Nor did she want to learn. Then again, would a mind flayer tadpole survive a bear’s digestive system?

She didn’t have time to consider before a sickly crack cut through the bear’s roar, dragging it out into an agonized whimper.

First Line Writer Game

Saw this game and thought it would be a fun exercise!

My last 10 works and their opening lines:

A Muse of Fire - He did not think twice about the words, here at the front of their Kondou hall, he had made his thoughts clear as the clouds rolled over head, bringing more snow on this accurssedly long winter

The World Turns and the World Changes - The fire was flickering in front of Ryuuji's eyes as he carefully dug into what was left of his meal.

All that We Wish to Stay - Ryuuji toddled into the kitchen with a, “mama?” and a sleepy yawn as he rubbed at his eye, dragging his blanket behind him with his other hand.

With Glimmering Eyes - Ryuuji, despite his gruff and intimidating appearance, found himself often moved to tears.

Not Always What We See - Ryuuji had missed too much in the last month.

BRS and Other Thoughts - It was right there, written in bold but messy characters, which told Ryuuji everything he needed to know about who had written the request for that name.

The Taming of the Trees - “Why did it happen?”

A Notice on Notice- Yukio’s class was full of idiots.

A Not So Marble-ous Plan - For ten years he had guarded Mephy Land.

Bathe and Breathe - It was a ritual at this point.

I went with stories that were just by me instead of cowritten, and mostly stuck with one shots because they tend to have more variety on how I start. Typically I do a declarative statement, but I do find it hilarious that one of the only quotes in the entirety of The Taming of the Trees was in the opening. I am also proud of myself that only half of these are bonrin xD I am also either wordy af or short and too the point.

When do you gaze at your soulmate?

tagged by: @historias-multorum

when they don't see you

you love them and you're not sure they know. but that's okay. you're used to loving more than you are loved. you give more than is given. and maybe others don't understand but you don't expect more. you tell yourself the love in your heart is not meant to be savored by anyone other than you. it's more than enough to get to exist at the same time as them. you stand in their shadow and you thank the sun for casting it. they touch your arm but they do not feel the same warmth which lingers on your skin for days. you gaze at them and they might even be looking right back but they are not seeing into your soul the same way you have memorized theirs. it's enough you tell yourself. it's enough. it's enough. but what if it's not? and what if you're wrong. what if they see you and all this time you have been too scared to ask what they're looking at.

@shreddedleopard has tagged me in another 6 sentence "sunday"

The less this is Sunday the better it is tbh

True tumblr meme right here

6 sentences of a wip + tag 6 people

This is from something I started for the "merchandise" prompt of Sherly week and never finished... and also is 7 sentences for completing the thought

Sherlock Holmes (the man) was tall and lean with an over-exposed neck. His mouth was constantly open, whether it was to smile too-widely in glee over nothing, or to jabber about useless topics that Louis drowned out more often than not: forensics and medical science and chemistry, his latest monographs and cases, difficult formulas and criminal psychology. Once he even discussed musical theory with his brother for over a day. And his eyes were a bright, sparkling blue that could put a sapphire to shame. 

Sherlock Holmes (the toy) was stout and round, with stubby limbs added only as an afterthought. He had no neck to speak of, his mouth was sewed shut in a thin-lipped smile, and his eyes were made of dull, lifeless, black thread. He was soft and supportive and quiet and gave good hugs.

No-pressure tagging hmmmm I'll try for different people than last time @straycrayoncrypt @eternallaughter @shinyphoenix @millenni-em-tauk @arielxlazarus @arien-elensar

10 BL boys that I want carnally

I was tagged by @prapaiwife. Thank you for the tag!

Hmm let’s see if I can figure this out. In no particular order

1. Chen Yi and Ai Di (Kiseki: Dear to Me)

Did I cheat on the very first one by picking both off them?…maybe so.

Tall and broody gets me every time, which means Chen Yi is just my type and Ai Di’s specific brand of chaotic short king just works for me

2. Alan (Pit Babe the series)

The dad energy that radiates off this man is incredible and I am down for it…speaking of dad energy

3. Gumpa (Not Me the series)

Gumpa willingly adopted 5 20-something boys and fostered their love for anarchy and hatred for capitalism and I (and my ovaries) am in love with him for that.

4. Phayu (Love in the Air)

At the risk of telling you guys about 1000% too much information about myself…I wish I were Rain because this man is everything I want (and this is coming from someone who likes prapaisky better as a pairing)

5. Nail (For Him the series)

Gif by @pharawee

This man is a bitch, this man knows what he wants, this man has a way better fashion sense then. I want him and I want his fashion and his honesty.

6. First (Twins the series)

This man and his lost puppy eyes and his grumpiness and his jealously. I want him

7. Kim (KinnPorsche the series)

Can I make this list without including Kim…possibly, but I’m not gonna XD

8. Prapai (Love in the Air)

Are you surprised? You shouldn’t be.

9. Tan (Manner of Death)

Or maybe just Max in general but can you really blame me?

10. Choco (Choco Milk Shake)

Is this man actually a dog? I mean technically but if Jung Woo is allowed to end up with him then why can’t I? Also muscles that they do not show off nearly as much as they should

I’m honestly not sure who hasn’t done this yet so I’m not sure who to tag so if you haven’t done it yet, feel free to consider this me tagging you!

LAST MOVIE/TV SHOW: I'm really terrible at keeping up with movies and TV! I saw Oppenheimer with my sister in the summertime. I watch a lot of YouTube.

SPICY/SAVORY/SWEET: All!

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: I got courthouse married to @edaworks in November 2023! I wore ripped jeans and my Born in the USA Bruce Springsteen shirt. We ate at a local taqueria and visited Ikea after. I highly recommend getting it done in the courthouse and then planning for a ceremony later. We're both law-brained and understand marriage is not just the connection between people but getting a lot of really important paperwork in order - figuring out a will, pre/post nup agreements. Relationship status affects taxes, finances. Our relationship was already "as good as married" and a legitimate marriage affording us the rights befitting spouses was most attainable in a courthouse. We still cried and it was still beautiful.

CURRENT OBSESSION: My puppy, Mishka.

LAST GOOGLE SEARCH: why did usa go off gold standard
