OC in fifteen

Thank you for the tags, @mysticstarlightduck and @space-writes! Today I bring you Jax Castle, captain, junker, older brother, and bisexual goof, from my WIP Stars and Ships 💙

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!

“I love a good view,” Jax said, completing the code they’d agreed on. He’d written his own line and adored it. “But I love a wheel of blue cheese more.”

“What’s with the dead guy out there,” Jax hissed, trying not to be judgmental about it.

Jax ahem-ed importantly, winked at unimpressed Quin, and said, “Step one is definitely buy some ices. Ice cream, maybe. Or a pop. An argument could be made for lemonade too, if it was a well put together argument—”

“Fine. Just rain on all the parades,” Jax said, turning on the communications system. “I guess I’ll just stop trying to be the glue that holds us together here. Who needs that, right?”

Jax nudged Aaliyah’s foot. “Your ten ‘o clock,” he muttered. “Short, pale, suspicious.”

“Defend you? Kid, I’d sell you to the law in exchange for half a liter of free fuel!”

That got Jax’s attention. “Big money, you say?”

“First of all, chill out,” Jax said sternly. “I do not have the emotional strength right now to tenderly assure you everything’s fine. And I don’t believe in lying unless absolutely necessary.”

“What was that?” Jax called. “Either this sound system is old enough to be our great great grandmother, or I heard a real life pig.”

“You’re the boss,” Jax said. “Let’s get out of here first and you can send him a little message.”

“Hey, someone’s gotta do it,” he joked. “You’re…well, you, and Quin wouldn’t know feelings if they walked up and kissed him with tongue.”

“I love you,” he said against [Aaliyah's] mouth, and felt her smile. “I just thought you should know. In case Thresh is as dashing as I am and steals you away from me.”

“My boy,” Jax said, disgusted. “When is the last time you cleaned this dump?”

“That sounds odd,” Jax said. “Aren’t we pirates? Of a sort?”

Jax grinned cheerily, turning his gun up a notch, energy humming. “We’re actually just here to rob you, dick-for-brains.”

I've learned how to do lineart, and the colour green no longer terrifies me so I'll only take another half a year to figure out how to shade this drawing for Mereel & Family Booksellers chapter 2 by @sidhebeingbrand and @toughbreaks :D

I've been tricked! 🧡🍂🎃 Here's a tiny bit of Stars and Ships for you:

Nearest seemed to be in the midst of its rainy season, the dust on the streets tamped down, and huge awnings covering the main thoroughfare leading from the docks onward. A light drizzling immediately ruined Jax’s hair, and Sepia following him quickly ruined his mood.

🎃Trick or treat!👻

TRICK! 👻

Worldbuilding in 5

Thanks for this tag @mysticstarlightduck! What a fun game, even for a writer who's not so big on worldbuilding--I'm very excited to fill this one out. :)

Rules: post 3-5 images of a place in your world and tell us a bit about it!

The Flats, Planet Three, Andromeda Body

"As far as the eye could see was sand, the surface textured with eddying swirling where the water had come in and disappeared again. On the horizon, the sea swelled, respectfully keeping its distance.             Navigating the Flats was a whole different sort of tragedy. While the tide was out, boats were moored in midair, tied to two different anchor points to keep the canoes from smashing to pieces in the water. Every building was built up on stilts twice the length of a human, with a few bridges connecting some of them."

I've had the visual of this place in my head for a long time, and I remember having so much fun when the time came to write it out in my Stars and Ships draft! The people that make the Flats their home have a strictly regimented day, with timepieces all around that dictate the changing tides. When the sea is out, they set up market stalls, walk over the sand, bring out the livestock for exercise. When the sea comes in, they clean everything off the sandbar and move to canoes to traverse the city.

I'll tag @cilly-the-writer @indecentpause @space-writes @charlesjosephwrites @eccaiia and anyone else who sees this! Adding the Stars and Ships taglist below as well -- if you guys want to join, please feel free <3
