Subverted Expectations (old)

Sepria didn't know how to fight. She was never built for fighting, physically nor mentally. But now that she was one of Master Kohga's dedicated scouts, she didn't have much of a choice but to learn. And today, generous and thoughtful as the Yiga chief was, he decided to teach her.

Restraint and Reward

La Stanza Rossa. An insanely fancy Italian restaurant that, growing up, I could only gaze at in awe from the car window during outings, due to the fact that I wasn’t a wealth-hoarding multibillionaire. …Alright, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration. It was kind of upscale, but at least you didn’t have to sell your organs to afford it. You know what wasn’t an exaggeration? The name. La Stanza Rossa. “The Red Room.” Not because of the color motif, the decor, or the branding… But because this was going to be absolute torture.

Shade of Reverie

For most mortals, sleep came easily. They climb into bed after a long day's work, winding down and slowly drifting off into a slumber after some time. If their exhaustion is strong enough, they may slip immediately into a deep unconsciousness. Perhaps they dream, and their fantasies pass the long hours they spend away from the waking world. Or perhaps not, and even a blank mind makes the night feel like mere moments. And when they awaken, their body thanks them for a sufficient rest with energy to spend for the day. A simple process that should require little to no thought or effort to accomplish. For Cicilia, the relationship with sleep was far more complicated.

It was mid-morning as Miles sat at his desk, preparing some tasks for his paralegal who…hadn't shown up yet. Miss Sierra's attendance was normally flawless, so it struck him as odd, if not a little bit concerning, that she was running this late.

ME!Cecil dream-from-3-years-ago fanfic thing idfk.docx

"I'm growing ever so tired of that meddling Fortesque…" A disgruntled Zarok shambled about in his lair, moving around various books and objects that had been haphazardly placed, but not by him. "Always a thorn in my side, but now he has the audacity to rifle through my things like he owns the place. How I long to crush that nosy little wretch beneath my heel next we meet!" He grimaced as he shoved a well-worn tome back in its place on the dusty shelf. "Alas, if I am to maintain a reputable facade as that portly old monarch's advisor, I cannot retaliate against his Champion as I please…" He paused for a moment, his expression turning thoughtful. "But… There may be an opportunity yet."

WEIRD KOCI THIRST THING PLEASE SEND HELP.docx

"…and then we got the crates of Mighty Bananas to fall and bury them under a mountain of yellow! Some of them got knocked out by the boxes, and so we used that to get out while we could!" Koci waved her arms and hands wildly as she relayed the story to Link with a dramatic tone.

Trial of Patience.docx

Koci woke up near the entrance of the Kokiri forest and immediately she knew that something was not okay. "What the fuck." "What is it, Koci?” Rina asked, concerned as she flitted about Koci’s head. “Shit’s fucked, that’s what it is,” Koci replied immediately, getting up and making sure she still had her maces. “Some canon characters are about to get ruined.”

"He can't be dead." "There's no way. Everyone here who says so is wrong, I know it." "That pit isn't bottomless. There has to be something down there. And that's where he's been. Where he still is." "And I'm going to sleep out here every single night until I find some way to get there." "I'm going to find him. I need to." "Master Kohga would never let himself die like that. He wouldn't…" "…He wouldn't leave me behind like that…"

s. thesia x cortex thing.docx (old)

Synes thumbed through the heavy folder of self-kept records with a calm but focused expression. Her work was more or less done for the day, but she still felt the need to keep herself busy, and she figured that a ton of reading would be the quickest way to ease her mind - after all, there was quite a bit going on in there. However, when she caught a glance at some handwriting that wasn't her own, she immediately shut the folder and looked straight ahead, refusing to acknowledge it despite knowing exactly who it was. How pathetic… she thought, I can't even look at his handwriting without getting flustered… Try as she might, there was no escaping the onslaught of disorganized and embarrassing thoughts that always followed the image of her superior, Dr. Neo Cortex.

~it's for science~ (aka get drugged idiot).rtf

"Ah, Nurse Synes Thesia! What a pleasant surprise!" Neo pushed his way past N. Gin, who wore the most betrayed expression as their obvious prior conversation was thrown right into the garbage, in order to make a beeline for his surgically-inclined colleague who had just walked in. Synes furrowed her brow and a small, wry smile played on her face. He had used her whole name and title, rather than just "Synes" like he usually did, and he seemed exceptionally eager to see her - two things which, by all accounts, were very weird for him and immediately warned her that he was going to use her presence as an excuse for…something.

CONCLUSION: I guess I start off a lot of my writing with dialogue or a short first sentence? 🤔 I dunno if it's shown a lot in these examples but I do know I tend to start stories in the middle of a scene and then explain the context later, so...maybe that's why. neato either way o:

ALSO I notice that I usually break up the intro and the rest of the story with a single sentence or very short paragraph... I guess I just like pacing it that way! 👀

thinking about how they said grover was affected the most out of everyone bc he was alone and how nico and bianca stayed for 70 years inside that hotel and didn't forget each other bc they were always within reach and how that little detail makes their story even more devastating bc they got through it together and the moment they got out they get separated and then bianca never comes back

has it ever been more over

hey btw if you're in the USA at  2:20 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Oct. 4, they're testing the emergency broadcast system. your phone is probably going to make a really loud noise, even if it's on silent. there's a backup date on the 11th if they need to postpone it.

if you're not in a safe situation and have an extra phone, you should turn that phone completely off beforehand.

additionally, if you're like me, and are easily startled; i recommend treating it like a party. have a countdown or something. be surrounded by your loved ones. take the actions you personally need to take to make yourself safe.

i have already seen mockery towards any person who feels nervous about this. for the record, it completely, completely valid to have "emergency broadcast sounds" be an anxiety trigger. do not let other people make fun of you for that. emergency sounds are legitimately engineered to make us take action; those of us with high levels of anxiety and/or neurodivergence are already pre-disposed to have a Bad Time. sometimes it is best to acknowledge that the situation will be triggering for some, and to prepare for that; rather than just saying "well that's stupid, it's just a test."

"loud scary sound time" isn't like, my favorite thing, but we can at least try to prevent some additional anxiety by preparing for it. maybe get yourself a cake? noise cancelling headphones? the new hozier album? whatever helps. love u, hope you're okay. we are gonna ride it out together.

Prompt 271

“Grandmother is visiting,” Damian suddenly said with no warning and with his usual not-quite demanding tone. 

“Who?” Tim wasn’t the only one to startle, seeing as Bruce had practically froze, a downturn to his lips in a silent show of confusion. 

Damian scowled. “Are you deaf Drake? Grandmother is coming to Gotham to, quote, make sure I am being properly cared for.” None of them had known that Ras was with anyone actually. At least Tim was pretty sure that would have been in the files. 

“Oh?” Dick didn’t quite crouch to Damian’s height but it was a near thing. “She-” “He,” Damian corrected, interrupting him. They all exchanged a glance before Dick continued. 

“Is he coming to the Manor or…” 

Damian scoffed again, a tiny bit of a flush against his face. “No, Grandmother will most likely be staying with Akhi-”

Now wait one moment-

“YOU HAVE ANOTHER BROTHER?!”

laios has very quickly become dear to me not just because he's an autistic protagonist but because his autism is itself one of the reasons his party has an edge over others. though we see him struggle in social situations, his special interest makes him hypercompetent in the context of dungeon survival. i'm aware that's not a NEW observation on him but i was impressed that he even used his special interest to successfully solve a crisis that relied on noticing social cues- he was able to pick out the impostors bc he honed in on the small discrepancies in their attitudes toward monsters. if that isn't weaponizing your autism, i don't know what is

The other one’s name is Wilhelmina

[twinstxrs]

so much happened in this whole episode but i’m still on fig infiltrating ruben’s dream, making it look like the place where his friend was murdered, and then disguising herself as kipperlilly & repeatedly saying different variants of “somebody needs to take the fall for this, and it’s not going to be me. it’s going to be you.” while adaine as the elven oracle shows up next to her. can you imagine waking up from that, the idea of a horrible truth being pinned on you by your friend to save her own skin while the personification of fate and destiny stands there, almost as a promise that this is GOING to happen to you. we don’t even know if this kid is guilty. my god.
