#the Pulp Writer

[modusoperand1]

Made this. Had tons of fun.

(reasons for all the symbology stuff below the cut, also vague LLRPG spoilers)

The lesbian flag is the most obvious. Obviously. She likes girls, it's her best quality besides how much she likes to smoke.

The trans flag is a bit more subtle (mostly, aside from the literal plot point about it). Before that, the first time it's told to us is when The Nightmare pops in and says she is, just in a very existentially terrifying way.

Rabies flag is because not only has she had rabies, but she's a proper freak about it. Good for her!

The flag of the Soviet Republic is because she's a Communist, and very serious about it.

The Disco Elysium Communist inverted star is there for the obvious meaning, as well as a inversion of the dream (of communism, a star), into a nightmare (all the people she ever loved are dead), leaving her without the means to complete it (the antlers - the lack of them), further representing her view of herself as a failure, but also because she's loosely implied to be pagan. She says 'gods' instead of god or Dawnsight.

˚✧₊⁎❝᷀ົཽ The Pulp Fantasy Collection ❝ ᷀ົཽ⁎⁺˳✧༚

The following stories take part place in a realm I’ve dubbed “Pulp Fantasy”. These stories are in an alternate universe. I write with the intention of making these stories sound like myths, the language is a lot more floral and indulgent in tune with an adult fantasy with plenty of smut. I pull from kayfabe and character work of the wrestlers involved.

The Hidden-Folk

Woe to those unwary souls who so carelessly tread about the wild, lonely places; for that is the domain of the Hidden-Folk. To intrude upon their realm is to doom oneself to a short life of suffering and misfortune. When lost in the forest, keep to the path of the deer. For all beasts, great and small, still abide by the olden ways which mankind so easily forgot.

According to Scripture: In bygone days, the angel Lucifer made war with God and his heavenly host. He and all his armies of rebel angels were banished from the heavens into the cold, unfashioned outer-darkness as punishment for their pride and arrogance. Forever damned to drift among the empty expanses of cosmic oblivion. However, those spirits who claimed no side in the war of heaven where cast down unto the infant earth. They fell from the sky like snow. Some landed in the cold bogs and raths, others fell into the stones and mountains, while most would land in the briar-choked forests. Here is where they would forever remain. Other Hidden-Folk find their beginnings as the forlorn souls of the unhallowed and unbaptized dead who were intombed within the great mounds and cairns which dot the landscape.

All of these unclean spirits dwell under the earth, only venturing out from their hollows and burrows when the sun sinks behind the horizon. They shy away from humans, living in company of none but their own. They are just as likely to help as they are to harm those who enter their lands as they are capricious things whose temperaments often change on a whim. Those who live close to the wilds have been known to offer blood to placate their wrath and spare their families from their wrath. As the dreaded Book of Dead Names says:

"...blood is the very food of spirits, which is why the fields after the battles of war glows with an unnatural light, the manifestations of the spirits feeding thereon."

Some have even been known to impart their knowledge of wicked spell-work as boons for these offerings. Which often led to many civilizations believing that these spirits were gods of the forest. There are even tales of Witch-Cults offering up kidnapped children to these spirits in exchange for command of the otherworldly. Many Occultists still call out the names of these "Old Gods" around the monoliths of old on Samhain Night.

Much like their kin, the demons, the bodies of the Hidden-Folk are composed of a sort of vaporous cold-fire which they can will into whatever shape might suit them best. They can be fair, grotesque, or corpse-like with some even taking the forms of animals. Though the prevailing descriptions always tell of haunting beauty and bestial features like hooves or a tail. They are semi-corporeal and are able to interact with the world around them yet they cannot be seized as they are not beings of flesh and blood. However, iron implements (particularly swords) frighten the fairy-folk greatly as the blades can pass through their bodies with ease as if they were being cleaved by them. Bear in mind, they are immortal and attacking them will not kill them, but they will endure the agony of death when struck with iron.

Pulptober 2024 Day 17: Aaron Allston

I don't have a lot to say about Doc Sidhe other than it was an interesting update on the idea of Doc Savage with a fantasy twist.

But I knew the author, Aaron Allston, and respected him.

guess who forgot about this blog again? 🙈

anyway I finally have a fic on my ao3 now...

it is not any of the fics I've been working on and talking about here, lmao, it's something else:

PULP MUSICALS FIC, BABEY!!!!

here's a summary that my friend @snarky-wallflower helped me come up with:

Benjamin usually thinks of the Stratfords and their stories whenever he sees the moon. ... It’s only now, standing in a brick room with Margaret in his arms and looking out at that odd rock—closer than ever and still so far away—that he suddenly becomes fully aware of just how much space Margaret has started to occupy in his mind. These last few weeks, he hasn’t been able to catch even a brief glance at the moon without thinking of her, too, and wondering if she would be watching it that night, if she’d get her answers this time.

OR

In those final hours aboard the brick satellite, Benjamin Park makes amends and falls into the orbit of Samuel Stratford and Margaret Cavendish, fast and bright. (aka, a Benjamin Comes Along AU with a twist!)

Wednesday, Wednesday, Wednesday ...

Apparently, there's a bridge in Drumcondra that has become a wee bit famous during the cold snap. Twas on the news yesterday that, for some reason, someone left a handful of cherry tomatoes on this particular bridge. Unsurprisingly, they froze ... and are still sitting there, as tomatoes are won't to do. Not only that, people are now visiting the site to take selfies and add a tomato of their own to the pile.

Put me in mind of the terrible tomato joke from Pulp Fiction ;-D 🍅

The germy gurbles got me yesterday and the day before, so am heading toward the shiny metropolis today. My enthusiasm for this is as great as ever (rolls eyes) ... but at least it's not raining. Hmmmmm ... will 2025 be the year I get a raincoat? ...

i just wanted to say that your jarvis fanfic is absolutely incredible. i just spent all of last night reading it, only got two hours of sleep but it was worth every minute because of how fucking great your writing is. i love it so much and im eagerly waiting for the next chapters xoxo.

Oh my gosh thank you! 🥹 What a compliment! I hope you get some sleep now. 😁

A Paris Affair is a labor of love and the first long-form thing I've ever written. I truly do write it for me, so any time it touches someone else I AM OVER THE MOON!

There is more and I'm slowly working on it (promise!)
