Word find tag game

Thank you @verkja for tagging me ^_^

Words given to me were: dirt, sharp, intricate, and softly

—

Dirt (said twice 😳)

Her hair was matted badly, and Ratty didn’t know if it was mostly just dirt that could be washed out or if it was so badly tangled she’d have to get it cut. Either way it did not look comfortable at all. Her lips were dry and cracked, and her nails were long with dirt buried under them.

Sharp

Ratty’s hands went up slowly, they tipped their face down while keeping a steady voice, “Whoa now Big Guy, I think there's been a mistake. I’m not here to hurt anyone, let alone the little Imp… So… You’ll put them down, yeah?” They kept their sight sharp on him.

Intricate (oh god old writing)

She read off a bunch of safety rules for Zyan to obey for life. Such as no harming another being. No screaming. No breaking things or causing any tantrums, ect. The list was fairly intricate.

Softly

Mouse started lulling after that, as if her head was too heavy for her to hold up. She stopped responding, and when Clarence shook her shoulder she only moaned softly. She didn’t flinch or move.

Word find Tag

Ohh this seems pretty fun actually thanks for tagging me @skyderman

I tag anyone who wants to do this! (I don't know who to tag sorry lol ^^;) My words are: quiet, contact, think, & rise

Next persons words are: afraid, fresh, spring, & calm I'll pull the words from Mte's 'Timeline'/First Draft :^ 0

Quiet

“Ah my old eyes can’t read such fine print anymore...it's only giving me a headache.” She sighs dramatically, but beams and says that Francis would probably enjoy it, she knows the story off by heart anyways. Francis is quiet for a moment as the book is passed into his hands. He inspects the well loved cover, spying all the uncreased and forgotten dog ears and warped yellow pages as he flips through it. 

“I could...read it out loud if you’d like….”

Contact

Growing on the dead decaying forest around them thin stalked and button capped mushrooms grow. They are absolutely everywhere the further they go in, and emit a soft neon blue light. Francis ahead of him is gracefully avoiding the mushrooms, and Sam attempts to do the same, but he's not known for being the most delicate and graceful guy. Even the smallest brush against the small mushrooms releases glittering spores into the dark surroundings catching the light and twinkling softly. Sam thought it was a beautiful sight even if he was terrified for his life right now. Remembering he shouldn’t be getting distracted he followed Francis silently. Francis pauses to look back at Sam, their eyes making contact and for some reason Sam’s heart races even if it's only Francis pointing to the side they should be going.

Think

In their time spent together he's only seen Francis have a nightmare once before in the forest but it passed quickly. This one however was a lot stronger, Francis thrown into a fit and snarling like a beast baring fangs and claws. Suddenly he starts clawing at himself and Sam is moving before he can even think. He restrains Francis' hand with much struggle, attempting to shake the other awake and frantically calling to him to come to his senses and wake up.

Rise

Francis says he can barely make out the sound above him of Father giving some sort of speech, and a thunderous roar of applause. Then suddenly the platform that Francis is standing on starts to rise. Once he reaches the top, bright lights overwhelm him, many flashing cameras and the white glow of stage lights making it hard for him to see. Thousands of people are before him, for his entire life he has never seen the faces of this many humans...the only others being the other blessed children and Johan’s. He’s disoriented, his breathing too loud in his own ears, sensitive eyes burning. His first presence in front of the people being that of fear swimming beneath his skin.

I got tagged in the find-the word game by @lexiklecksi Thank you!

This is from my WIP Names in Their Blood, sequel to Secondhand Origin Stories.

crazy:

“I still like the teal paint.” Jamie mused comfortably.

“The rose goes better with the dark wood.” Aldis argued. “No, this is gonna drive me crazy. I’m gonna have this all painted by the time you get back.”

Opal almost objected, but at this point she sort of just wanted someone else to choose something and free her.

flower

Jamie paused to pluck a rose that hadn’t completely succumbed to frost yet, then serenely plucked the damaged petals from the flower, editing out it’s imperfections. Opal’d seen Jamie pick flowers loads of time. They could hardly pass a garden without Jamie presenting her with something. But it’d never seemed sad, before.

comfort

Issac settled more comfortably in front of the meter tall pretend kitchen, straightened the small chef hat on his head, and looked at the camera. “As my assistant was reminding me, it’s important to wear appropriate safety gear when dealing with open flames in the kitchen.” He gestured to the yoke of costume jewelry thick enough to obscure his ID badge lanyard. “Now, the trick with cooking-“ he glanced into the toy pot “pterodactyl stew, is making sure you have appropriate permissions for cooking a very severely endangered species-“

accusation

Jamie tried to smother her irritation at the implied accusation. “Didn’t you get the security briefing this morning?”

The nurses eyebrows shot up. “Excuse me?”

“You should have been told when you came on shift.”

“I don’t know what you think you’re trying to pull-”

Jamie dropped her voice to a whisper and hardened her eyes. “I’ve been at an arrest, an assault, a murder site, a mass grave and Secretary Bridgewater’s house in the past three days. If those sound to you like normal things for me to be doing, then maybe you don’t think there’s an emergency, but if that sounds like maybe something my dad might want to know about, then I’d like you to please go ask him if he’d like to talk to me about what’s going on.”

deprivation (Ok, Deprivation wasn't anywhere in my manuscript. So I used "taken" and tried to find something that seemed to suit the general tone.)

MARTIN: This is my purpose. This is what I was made for. Please, don’t take it away from me.

Jenna closed her eyes. She looked in pain. Solomon looked like someone slapped him across the face. Yael looked panicky.

This is when Issac should step up. He should prove he was a fit dad for Martin. Say something useful.

He’d had parts of himself that felt essential taken away.

Hadn’t he learned anything from it, that could help Martin?

JENNA: Solomon.

He looked at her, startled and still on guard.

JENNA: You’re the only one here custom built for a purpose. Talk to them.

I'm tagging @dotr-rose-love, @etjwrites, mariahwritesstuff and @doriangravesftw with the words up, home, change, spin, and thread

[egophiliac]

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)

Word Find Challenge

thank you for the tag @winterandwords​! I’ve been tasked with finding the following words in my story: dead, down, didn't, and deal

Dead:

If you want to train up a ghost hunter, you might think the best place to do that would be in a graveyard. That’s bollocks. Graveyards are full of black-clad teens with nine-inch boots, too many baubles hanging from their ears (and other places) and more to the point, phones. Phones and ring lights and selfie sticks and aesthetic backgrounds, in fact. All that paraphernalia tends to scare off the haunts and spirits, and no spectre worth the salt that binds it would caught dead hanging around a graveyard.

Down:

“Here, ghosty ghost,” I called softly. “Feeling snacky? I’ve got some prime Australian ribs here for you if you show yourself.” “You never said you’d be using me as bait,” Quinn muttered. “Are you denying you’re tasty?” “I’m not the one marinated in whisky and…” Quinn froze and motioned for us to hush. “That way.” Ollie pointed downriver, towards the plip-plop of something dropping into water. “Light?”

Didn’t:

Any buidseach with half a brain would do his absolute and utter best to avoid any attention turned his way by the mighty Collective. As it turned out, I don't even have half a one. My antics in the Necropolis had attracted the attention of one or two people. And by people, I mean powerful organisations I would rather didn't know I existed. And by one or two, I mean all of them.

Deal:

"It wasn't my fault" I flipped a bird at Ollie, who stuck her head out of the kitchen for the sole purpose of bestowing an overly skeptical look my way. Fife peeled off the the first lot of forms and slid them over to me. "Well it sure as hell wasn't me who summoned a nine-foot tall demon to deal with a horde of zombies, then let half the bloody city know it was there."

These words are from Sweet Zombie O’ Mine, the second book in The Chronicles of Henry Mack. This one is still being written but book 1 is available on most platforms :) 

Anyone want to piggyback off this? Open tag. My words are: Day, Deliberate, Descend, Dump. 

[lucabyte]

Finally: The NoHats AU doodles. Plus some sprite edits.

Usually I'd let things speak for themselves and keep my chattering in the tags, but I'll ramble about my context thoughts...

So. First of all here's a link (x) to the Nohats Origin Post for those coming in and going ????.

Anyway. These doodles are not in any obvious chronological order, though Loop going from pilfered bandolier (my headcanon for how Siffrin has all those pockets) -> custom outfit made by Isabeau, is supposed to generally denote 'just after the ending' -> 'a few months down the line'.

And speaking of, Design & Characterisation notes:

Overall: NoHats is suppooooosed to have the range to not just be ULTIMATE MISERY ALL THE TIME (but if you're a major whump/angst fan. go fucking nuts.) so these are supposed to be. The steps toward overcoming and living with grief but. The Misery Is Kind Of The Punchiest Part.... Oops....

Mirabelle: Taking the lead, continuing to carry the weight of the world on her shoulders. In the game proper she's already shown to, while yes, be emotionally fragile at times, be prone to trying to hold the team together. I feel she'd do the same here. It also would help that she'd presumably be medicated again? But I can't imagine her chosen-one anxieities would be super ailed by the death of her friend. I wanted to try and give her more differences? She follows the change belief after all and is thus liable to switch up her style in general... But I didn't have a strong vision for this, so. The ball is in anyone's court. Her design changes here are keeping one of Sif's safety pins a la qpr bonding earring, and has the bell pendant at Loop's (oddly pushy) suggestion.

Isabeau: Taking it. Badly. Depression mullet and beard in tow. However, you best believe he is trying real badly to hide it. Loop very much does not reveal their identity to him because What The Fuck Would That Even Do. That's Scary. but they do try to comfort him while mentally regarding him "off limits". Backs themselves into some very unfortunate corners by alluding to their unfulfilled relationship with their Fighter as a point of common ground. I don't imagine this would go super great when recontextualised later after Loop is inevitably found out. Just in general oh good god what the fuck. this is like a radioactive pit of survivor's guilt.

Bonnie: Taking it probably The Worst. This is a child. Who was already feeling guilt. This is who everyone else is trying to keep it together for. Mirabelle and Isabeau would likely be putting up far less of a front without Bonnie around. They take the hat and take on Pocket Duty. They also have slightly more sif-y hairstyle but... Don't worry about it. They'd have Nille to fall back on once she's picked back up, and Loop almost certainly attempts to redouble efforts on making them feel better but seeing as how closed-off Bonnie can already be, it'd likely be difficult. However they would probably take Loop's identity reveal best...?

Odile: Odile's design.... ! Does not seem to have changed? How odd! Well. I'm sure she's dealing with things in a regular and non-cloistered manner. I already think that a regular Postcanon Activity for Odile could be her finding out about the potential for sif/loop to translate books and thus Knowledge in their native tongue assuming that ability sticks around postgame. Something something culture can never truly be wiped out etc etc. But putting it in this context. Makes it more desperate, more of a deflection for something else.

Loop: Helpful Loop. Well. They win! I feel like the entirety of ISAT being about Siffrin's mental state means I don't need to spill much ink here? You get it I think. I can't outdo the source material man. Anyway I imagine Loop is given clothes by Isabeau before they know who they are, but after they've become genuine friends. The outfit is in genuineness, on both sides from Loop and Isa, in having the cloak be a nod in respect to Siffrin, since Loop's "shared culture" would have to come up vis a vis cultural funerary traditions. Hard to avoid divulging that one...

i truly had no idea about the origins of that word and would freely use it due to the prevalent use of it in gaming spaces, so thank you for talking about it and educating people. i don’t understand why the people who cling so much to a word and complain to you about it.

right? with this level of investment you'd think these people had named their son Degenerate

[vaguely-concerned]

on the one hand I think inner demons could stand to have a bit more romanced rook specific content, but on the other hand the underlying in-built implication that 'yours is the one true voice of comfort and safety in my inner world' is a sentiment and intimacy so way beyond the romantic or the platonic or any secret third thing you could care to name that it makes me lose my entire poor little mind a bit. it's so big and fundamental — near-existential — that in that exact moment at least the distinctions kind of seem irrelevant.

all the people lucanis' mind conjures up along the way are relationships he has that are unavoidably mixed and fraught in some ways even when they're also full of love (they are fraught BECAUSE they're full of love) — the good in them inseparable from things that hurt him at the same time. (it's about: the basic disorganized attachment patterns this poor guy is dragging around with him. careful with those, they're dellamorte heirlooms. what you love also inevitably hurts you and you won't be allowed to have one without the other, you have to surrender parts of your soul to hold on to what little you have left: this is the story up until now.) and the idea that rook isn't that to him — that beneath the fear of wanting them when romanced (which is more its own separate thing because within this psychology, actively wanting something and not just clinging on for dear life to even a meager status quo lest you lose it is in itself dangerous bordering on catastrophic), this is a relationship where there isn't resentment, or guilt, or shame, or dread, or rage, or self-hate, or any of the other emotions that keep him paralyzed, unable to move this way or that. no debts, nothing owed of yourself and your soul's substance except what you can freely and safely and happily give. love and freedom don't coexist — but, I mean, you're almost starting to make me think........... unless...👀👀👀. the unconditional and undramatic 'you are here and I am here with you, you can be exactly how you are right now with me and it's safe for us both even though you're afraid it won't be, I'm not going anywhere' acceptance rook shows him here that he returns to them in the big romance scene, when it's rook who needs it. the way he's just. standing there in the center of it all, like a child desperately helplessly waiting to be found, hiding in the place he hopes you'll know to look first. (rook does know. it's one of the first things they say in there.)

in short the most important room in his little mind palace for the romance is the very first room — the one where rook isn't. where, in fact, rook cannot be, because they disprove the entire structure of the place with their existence and presence in his life. with everyone else he's putting words in their mouths about what they think of him, and rook is the one who actually gets to come in to speak their own words to him — and have him listen. ('he'll listen to you, he always listens to you', 'your voice is a comfort'.) of course rook isn't present anywhere else in there — at the risk of stating the obvious to a tedious degree, they aren't one of the locks, they're bringing the key. in the very finest 'the messenger and the message' sort of way.

I got another of these ask game tags! Thanks to @thatndginger for excellent word choices!

desperate He looked her over, and she desperately wished for her uniform, as a tiny bit of psychological armor. There was nothing scandalous about her leggings or t-shirt, but just once she’d like to meet someone important dressed as someone that mattered.

waste “They didn’t want the weak ones.” He said. He turned back to the stove. “They would have seen you as a waste of resources, and said it was best to let nature take it’s course.”

judge Nobody ever mentioned it anymore, but Opal would never in her life forget that when she’d first tried out for the team she’d had her ass handed to her and unanimously been judged unfit and sent on her way.

sign Jamie did allow herself a dramatic eyeroll when Yael paused right outside the icecream shop, looking right at the “no shirt, no shoes, no service” sign, looked at the sweets inside and the regular people who had stopped to stare at xyr, and just walked in.

Nobody was going to say anything to Yael, no matter how much dirty water xe dripped all over, and everybody knew it.

earn Xyr breathing was so loud. Xe was so dizzy. So weak. All xyr thoughts about deserving Ezekiel and Miriam’s powers- of controlling xyrself well enough to earn a hero’s calling seemed delusional, now.

[katierosefun]

pyramid game is such a perfect little drama for the sapphics because you've got a whole demented psychological thriller going on about high school girls creating a whole fake social class system that results because one bored little princess bitch thought it'd be funny, and you've got all these dynamics that can only be boiled down to some kind of love story because like. ye lim and eun jeong's dynamic? the princess idol and her athlete bodyguard. soo ji and ja eun's dynamic? the cold mastermind and the compassionate heart. even whatever da yeon and seol ha have got going on? typical hitter and loyal dog dynamic. the list can go on.

warning to to my fellow photosensitives: last night's game changer episode (deja vu) is amazing but is also full of flashing lights

please be careful and "watch" by just listening to the audio/give this one a skip/take care in whatever way makes the most sense for you and your situation!
