It's a long shot but I'm working on my silly little guy Axel right now

Axel is my little pirate guy! He was born with FASD which affects him to this day. He is biracial with his mom being black and his father being white. He was raised in pirate ships his whole life and eventually became captain of his own ship!

There's two versions of him, when he was a pirate during the ~1650s-1670s and the modern version of him. I am working with the 1700s variety right now

These are references for pants/ shirts he would wear a lot, le liked having freedom of movement and greatly preferred shirts to pants

He rarely wore a shirt but when he did it was usually one like this

With a simple pattern that a crew mate sewed for him.

He hates wearing shoes on the ship so he almost never is in them and he thinks socks are a texture nightmare

Axel is fun because I'm planning to write three stories about him, one a kids book about how he's an aromantic pirate cursed to die if he doesn't find the love of his life (current project)

The next is a story about him and his best friend being offered to come to the future which they take

And finally a slice of life for an older audience about some of his day to day things that go on

Axel is a good character and I really love him so I hope you consider drawing him!

✍🏽 I WANT TO DRAW YOUR OC!!!🫵🔊🔊

I am going to be drawing ONE of your guys’ OC in my style!!! If you want to request a drawing of your little goober, please REBLOG *NOT DM OR ASK* this with a reference sheet of your oc! :D🎀💘

It would also really help me if you gave me a description with it as well; the more detailed the better since I’ll get a clearer idea of how to draw them!! The details can include literally anything and everything about them since I’m also using this as an excuse to hear about people’s rambles of their OCs!!🤭 💐(I will most likely dm you what I think about ALL them too afterwards:)!!!) You can attach as many OCs as you want as well in your reblog, the more to choose from the merrier! The person will be chosen at random, good luck!!!!! 😁💖🌸

Writeblr for newbies

So you joined Tumblr to talk about your writing. Maybe you're published and you want to promote your works, or maybe you're wanting a supportive community of fellow writers, or maybe you're just writing for the hell of it and want to show the world your blorbos.

Welcome!!

Being a part of the writing side of Tumblr is a little bit like being in kindergarten and all the kids are talking about their imaginary friends to each other. Except some of the kids have published stories about their imaginary friends in real books you can buy. It's so cool.

I have made some wonderful friends on Writeblr, I've ARC'd and beta'd books for people, and I've gotten a lot of warm fuzzies from sharing my snippets and my characters. It's somewhere between self-promo and group therapy, but it doesn't feel like either. It feels like a wonderful community of writers supporting each other.

The Writeblr lingo can seem a little intense at first so I thought I'd set up a guide. If I've missed anything lmk!

WIP - stands for 'work in progress' (plural: WIPs). Any piece of writing (or poetry, or any kind of art) that isn't completed yet. This might be the first draft of a story, or the nth draft of your novel, or the not-yet-posted chapter of the fanfiction you're writing. WIP is a state of mind: it might be nearly complete, or it might just be an idea with a few hundred words attached to it. Talk about it as much or as little as you want.

WIP intro - a totally optional (and honestly a lot of hard work sometimes lol) post explaining the main themes/background/plot/characters of your WIP. Something you can link people to so they good a good idea of your WIP and what it's about. Similarly, character intro, for individual characters within a WIP, often with art/picrews.

Tag game - the lifeblood of Writeblr! In its most basic form, someone tags you in a game, you play the game, then tag other people you want to play the game. Lots of people do 'open tags', which you can also pick up. These games can range from making picrews of your characters to posting a snippet or multiple snippets. A few common ones at the moment (these change often!) are: Find the Word (the tagger gives you words to find in your WIP, you post a short snippet for each word, then give the people you tag new words to find); Last Line (you post the last line(ish) you wrote, or wrote recently); 9 Lines 9 People (post 9(ish) recent lines, tag 9(ish) people). There are so many more, and new ones being created all the time.

Blorbo - your OC (original character) that lives in your mind rent-free. The one(s) you would commit war crimes for. You know the one I'm talking about. In addition, blorbo trading and sharing is encouraged in the Writeblr community.

Ask game - a post that you reblog, usually containing a list of prompts or questions, that encourages your followers to ask those questions in your ask box. It is friendly to drop an ask from the game to the person you reblogged the post from.

Weekly asks - if you've asked to take part, questions about your writing in your inbox, related to a certain day of the week. There's Worldbuilding Wednesday (WBW), which are questions about worldbuilding, Blorbo Blursday (OC questions), and Storyteller Saturday (STS), questions about writing in general. These questions can be very generic and vague, or can be about specific characters/stories.

Pinned Post - basically, an 'about' page. Talk about yourself, your WIPs, the kinds of things you like, whether you want to be involved in Writeblr games, whether your asks are open. You don't need one, but it can be a handy reference point for your followers.

Taglist - sometimes, Tumblr posts get lost on the dash. If you are interested in a particular WIP, ask the author if you can be put on their taglist, so you can get notified every time they post about it. They will love you for it, seriously!

Overall, on Writeblr, it is always encouraged:

to talk about your stories and characters as much as you like. People might not follow along at first, but they'll get on board!

to reblog others' writing/snippets/promo. We're all relying on each other for our sanity here, and a nice comment in the tags never goes amiss either!

I'm sure I've missed something - feel free to add!

Writeblr Intro

Hi, I feel like it's finally time for me to do one of these. I've decided to create a side blog entirely dedicated to writing and writeblr so as to keep things orderly.

About me: I'm Eloma and have been dabbling with writing ever since I was a teen. Nothing ever came of it until 2 1/2 years ago when I joined the writing group of two friends. I have now completed the second draft of my first novel-length thing. Besides writing and reading, I love drawing, bg3, and pen and paper role playing games.

So far, I've been a little post-shy when it comes to writeblr (hopefully, this side blog will change that), but I love lurking and seeing other writers ramble about their projects, post writing snippets, gush about their OC's, or share their art. Excitement is contagious!

I'm open to chat, though I may not respond straight away (time zones and work) and would love to find other writers to interact with and follow, so please interact if you want me to see you <3 I don't know how tag games work but would love to participate one day lol I like and follow from my main account @g0ttest0d

My Writing

I don't currently have any of my writing shared online (yet!), but I do have two WIPs that I work on and may post about in the future. I enjoy writing fantasy, although not the sword and sorcery type but rather the smaller and more personal stories. Things don't always end well for the characters involved. I'm obsessed with world building, especially anything food or religion.

WIP 1) War In Heaven

Lucifer is just an ordinary office worker, directly employed by the Father himself and seeking happiness through consumerism and an implicitly promised raise. Through meeting a fellow angel, trading with the local squatting population and encountering the first humans, he is thrust into questioning his own position in a deeply classist society. The story is non-religious.

Current stage: 2nd draft complete (it's a mess hihi) Word count: 84k

WIP 2) Memento Morisn't (temporary title)

A young woman in the fictional world of Amberplain is torn between family life in her rural hometown and getting her university education in the big city. A family tragedy and a job offer by one of her teachers put her on a path of no return. Meanwhile a spirit intrigued by such crazy concepts as "physical sensations" and "fun" attempts to sneak their way into the human world for good.

(Content is subject to change)

Current stage: planning and plotting Word count: 0

Hey, wow I’ve been gone for a while, but I hope to make more art soon!

I’ve recently participated in an OC art trade event hosted by @mvcreates and @radley-writes and got to draw this charming fellow belonging to @alexfireon uwu

[abalonetea]

this is my contribution to the Writeblr Oc Art Trade! I’ve drawn Den, a lovely character made by @audgewrites! 

now, Den is from Audge’s story, Disgrace, which you can read about HERE

she’s a grumpy, cynical little creature that’s looking for revenge on the gods, and happens to find Evan’s plight very convenient for side vengeance! as I was looking into Audge’s wips and characters, I found myself smitten with the story, the way the character’s interact, and Den herself.

i’ll admit, i’m super fond of any character with large, yellow eyes that peek out mysteriously from a hood, and I've also found myself very interested in some of Audge’s other wips! you should def check them out!

and a big thank you to @mvcreates an @radley-writes for hosting the event! 

[zusollen-writes]

i wanna draw more writeblrs ocs bc it feels good... anyone wanna share a description or a moodboard of their oc with me, and i can draw sth! (if u wanna do sth in return, check out my blog, or draw one of my ocs, just ask for them)

Writeblr Re-Introduction*

*Some day all these pages will be full

Greetings folks! Some of you may remember me, some of you only started following me after I went on hiatus. Since this blog is over two years old and approaching 3k followers, I thought it would be a good idea for me to make a re-introductory post before jumping back into the fray and tagging people out of nowhere.

My name is Nevada. I’m F in my twenties, I’m on the acearo spectrums, and I’m a self-proclaimed writer. In fact, I started referring to myself as such so often I had to become an English major (and I minor in film). When college courses are not draining the life out of me, I like to write, dissect the overabundance of media I consume, and cuddle with my rabbit.

I want to reengage with the Writeblr community. I hope to meet new people, dig into others’ WIPs/OCs, and rekindle my creativity. I also need a productive way to procrastinate working on my personal writing projects.

My WIPs:

https://gottaenjoythelittlethingzz.tumblr.com/post/182485797542/the-reapers-only-daughter-chapter-1

FanFiction WIP: An AU retelling of the Sons of Anarchy series meant to be a multi chapter fic with a powerful female lead and overlapping plot lines. Most of the content I produce on this blog centers around this WIP and the lead OC character.

https://gottaenjoythelittlethingzz.tumblr.com/post/186421906907/new-wip-introduction

(My first) Original fiction WIP: BGG is a period piece centered around Vikings, tribes, conflicting moral values, and social issues/stance that people of the modern times can surprisingly relate to. If only I’d sit down and write it!!

I’ve yet to write a single word for this story. The idea formulated at the end of last year before I entered my break. I’m currently working on an outline for it whenever I get bored of TROD and want to change genres/settings for a while.

I’d love to chat about either project and hear about yours in return!! Come into my ask box and we can do facts swaps, trade questions, tag each other in games, and share our processes! If you’re interested in either of these WIPs, look for the tags Nevada writes, my WIPs, my OCs, tag games, and moodboards. I take questions and story prompts as well as participate in tag and community games!!

What I write:

FanFiction (mostly)

Short original fiction stories

(Found) family/friendship stories

Thrillers/dramas, some action and romances

Large cast driven stories w/ multiple POVs

Narratives with LGBTQ+ characters as leads

What you will find on this blog:

Original writing memes/tips, tag and community games, edits/moodboards, and segments of my writing projects

Reblogged writing advice/memes

Reblogged tag games, OC/WIP posts/art from writers/artists I admire

Motivational posts

Interact with this post if:

Any of the above interests you!

If you’re an active or new Writeblr (especially if you write FanFiction!)

If you interact reguarly with the community and/or tag games (especially if I can tag you in return!)

If you write stories with animals, zombies, werewolves, vampires, or metamorphic elements (as these are my favorite niche genres, horror is not relative but acceptable)

If you write prison/gangster/crime genre pieces (as it is my favorite collective genre)

If you write stories with LGBTQ+, POC, or Poly characters

If you’re 18+ (not required but as I grow older I write more adult/nsfw content)

I’ll try to be as active in the community as possible! New content is neither regular or guaranteed, but it comes whenever the inspiration strikes! This blog also runs on a queue, but if you tag me in something or send me things or interact in some way I’ll answer ASAP! I’ll check out the blogs of those who interact and follow back!!

*Edit: This blog is a side blog! I follow and reply to posts from my main @lnevada A fandom based blog!! Come chat with me over there for none writing related things!!

Until the next blog update,

~Nevada

2018 writer review

i was tagged by my dear friend @veridium-bye​ (thank you love!). i really didn’t start writing fic again until about october, so this is really a review of three months out of this year, but i’m still really proud of what i’ve done!

words written in 2018: 73,770

number of short fics/drabbles written in 2018: 39 (thirty-one of these were OC-tober ficlets, four were art trade/gift fics, and the remaining four were miscellaneous stories for my OCs)

number of fic chapters written in 2018: 11 (three for All of My Walls and eight for A World Alone)

number of chaptered fics completed in 2018: just one! All of My Walls, a three-chapter fic of aurelia hawke and fenris spanning the time between the “a bitter pill” quest through the end of the in-game DA2 events. it was really important to me for two reasons: one, aurelia and fenris are a rivalmance pair, but a lot of rivalmance fics i see are basically...just hate sex? and for fenris, and for aurelia, there are so many more layers and personal history that lends itself to their romance and creates these waves of tension and sadness and anger and heartbreak, but never hatred. i tackle the rivalmance in a bit of an easier (and generally humorous) light in their shorter fics, but All of My Walls is much more serious and i’m so proud of both of them for growing into themselves and each other and slowly allowing themselves love and be loved over the course of that fic. the OTHER reason that fic was so important to be is that it’s the first long(er) fic i wrote in a long, long time, and i consider it my way back into writing. i don’t think it reads as seamlessly as fics i’ve written since then do, but i’m still proud of myself for creating it, and i’m thankfully that it brought me back into the writing world.

fandoms: only dragon age this year! i haven’t touched my skyrim fic since 2017, and i toyed around with the idea of a kotor fic in the spring, but it never amounted to anything.

pairings: mainly ellinor trevelyan x cullen, emilia cousland x alistair, and aurelia hawke x fenris; HOWEVER, i’m eternally grateful to @fourletterepithet (velthei lavellan x cullen), @haloneshiral (letheia lavellan x cullen), @frecklef0x (anon trevelyan x dorian), and @gingerbreton (ysabelle dryden x alistair) for granting me the honor of writing about their OCs and letting me explore the dynamics of other pairings/relationships! writing for others is a really great experience to grow and strengthen your own writing, so i’m really glad i got to do those stories.

proudest achievements: i’m honestly just...proud i wrote anything at all? it’s so intimidating to come into a fandom that’s years and years old and put your content out there for people to see, especially when you haven’t written leisurely in a couple years and you’re really self-conscious of your work, like i am. but i took the leap, and people have been so responsive and supportive, and i’m eternally grateful for the very kind mutuals/readers i have that continue to inspire me to keep going and creating. some more minor achievements include

starting art trades. before doing this, i truly, genuinely did not believe that the brilliantly talented artists i see on tumblr every day would ever value their incredible work as equal to a short fic written by me. to me, it seemed like trading down. it turns out, i was wrong, and i’ve so far traded three one shots for three beautiful pieces of artwork, and as i mentioned earlier, it’s so refreshing and also so beneficial (in terms of writing skill and practice) to write for OCs that are not my own, so i’m so glad to have done these!

forcing myself to write action scenes. if you’ve been following me for a while, you’ve probably seen me complain multiple times about how much i hate writing action (i even made a meme about it that somehow went viral within the writeblr community lol joke’s on them it was made as a result of me rage quitting a dragon battle scene). the only thing i hate more than writing action is writing mage action, because none of my OCs are mages and all of my friends’ OCs are mages and i cannot understand the dynamics of mage combat no matter how hard i try. but, you can’t get better at something unless you practice it, so i wrote plenty of action in an attempt to get better. and i think (hope?) i did.

starting A World Alone!! my pride and joy!! my first longfic!! my favorite OC!! it’s a slow burn it’s an enemies-to-friends-to-lovers there’s tension there’s sadness there’s powerful female friendships there will be love eventually and i could go on about it for forever but instead i’ll just shamelessly plug it here because i love it so much and it makes me so happy.

writing goals for 2019

i would really love to join DWC but so far it looks intimidating to me because i’m worried i won’t be able to sit down for a night and keep up. but i’ll probably do it. i have so many good prompt posts saved in my drafts that i want to do.

more art trades! i have three already planned for the new year, and i’m very excited about them!

maybe finish A World Alone? i’m writing it at a good pace so far, so it’s a realistic goal.

more one shots. i love my longfic (obviously, as i blabbed about it relentlessly above), but i think shorter fics are such great opportunities to really focus in on a singular emotion and delve deep into little moments that are so brief in terms of plot but so big in terms of characterization. there are a few in particular i’m really proud of from this year (x, x, x, x, x, x), but i’m looking forward to more.

tagging friends (keeping it to friends who write, even a little!! any amount of writing is good writing!) @inquisitorsmabari @fourletterepithet @dickeybbqpit @trvelyans @a-shakespearean-in-paris @star--nymph @cullenvhenan @daydreamingdragonage @gingerbreton
