A good reminder on conflict for stories from Dave Mason

"There ain't no good guy, there ain't no bad guy

"There's only you and me and we just disagree"

Not every story needs a villain and hero

Welcome wayfaring strangers! You might be wondering what exactly have you stumbled across, or what exactly is this whole thing is!

What's a Freedom Frontier? What's your gimmick?!

Well, this should explain all of that, the Freedom Frontier is the title of my multiverse, to which countless Earths reside within and it is made up of a sandbox of several fandoms. From Creepypasta to Doctor Who, Superheroes to Fate. I've Frankensteined together over 30 fandoms and COUNTLESS OC concepts!

Just stick around, because I'm going to be talking about my Creepypasta rewrites, original OC concepts, and even start some role play and ask blogs! We're gonna be overloading with creative chaos.

Everything in the tags is GUARANTEED to show up in my ramblings or writing at some point. I know all these choices are INSANE

More hsr landau siblings g/t thoughts- now with more pain!

Serval finding a shrunken Lynx and panicking about her sister being so small and worrying about how hurt she could get, so just grabbing her and holding her close.

What's so bad about that?

Lynx isn't used to everything being so big, and Serval holding her so protectively is kinda tight and she really can't even move. So now she's scared and panicking because she doesn't want to get hurt either and the tight grip has her thinking she will. And Serval isn't listening when she asks to be let go of.

They probably both are just overall freaked out and on edge for awhile. Serval eventually puts her on a table in her workshop, but won't let her get off the table. Takes Serval a bit to trust Lynx to be out of her sight, she's a protective older sibling and doesn't want her extra little sister to be hurt. Lynx probably panics whenever she gets suddenly grabbed by Serval, who does it whenever she thinks Lynx is trying to leave or just feels she could get hurt (maybe playing with gadgets in her workshop)

Eventually they both calm down. Serval stops being so protective and stops grabbing lynx whenever she tries to run, Lynx relaxes and just gets used to navigating around the workshop

Anyway I just want sibling pain that turns sweet later and they probably get a cute nap or something, then the awkwardness of telling their brother what happened.

Happy STS! Since this happened to my twice this week: How do your characters react when their neighbor gifts them fruits and veggies from their overflowing garden?

Hi sweetness! Sorry I'm late on this! This weekend was...it was...

Okay, I'm going to answer this for all three stories :) WOOO HOO!!

THE IMPERIUM CHRONICLES

Any of the residents in the palace would be excited. There are a few of them who love to cook, so they'd immediately head to the kitchens to cook something with them, and share with whoever gifted the goodies. For those that are not great cooks, or who don't enjoy it. Depending on the gift, they'd ask one of the ones who is gifted at cooking to do their "magic" or they might just eat them raw and enjoy the fruit/veggie goodness.

Uffernian residents would be grateful for the gift. They have their own varieties of fruits and vegetables, but they also enjoy them. There is always an exchange of gifts. It is seen rude, except on special occasions, to not reciprocate a gift.

BOMBS, BODYGUARDS, & BROKEN ARTIFACTS

Mel and her mother are fantabulous cooks. They would graciously not only accept the bountiful gifts, but use them to prepare a feast for all of their friends and family. They would, of course, invite the gift giver as well. Mama Marie is known for her food, and she has taught Mel her secrets.

BENDING THE LAW

The New York Crew (you'll learn who that is as time goes on) would be thrilled, but mostly use them for smoothies or salads. They don't cook a whole lot, and eat a lot more take away. That doesn't mean they don't like fresh food, they just don't have a huge opportunity for it.

The Chicago Crew, non Rakeovich, would be split. While all of them would appreciate fresh fruits and veg, not all of them cook. The goodies would get eaten, what form they would be in would depend on which of them got them.

Rakeovich Crew - They would be appreciated. A gift would be sent as a thank you. The gifted fruit and/or veg would be given to the chef to prepare something decadent for him.

Thank you for the question!! <3

I ain't got the capacity

Or audacity

To be nasty

Like the ones who been

Takin advantage of me.

I realize now

That I wasted my time

Listenin to yall

Too busy trashin me.

Like I'm the garbage boy

Of your emotions.

But tell me how I been Ursula givin yall love potions

N I'm the one that got my voice unspoken.

This bond I had with pleasing and oeace

I say piece.

To the middle east.

N to the best in the west

I hope yo Adam's apples

Lose yo batman pants.

Cause on fhis Eve

I see the snakes in the green.

They say the grass is always greener

But I say breathe.

Because what may look good

Does not always smell good.

Use your census.

The inner emotions in your body

Can commonly pay for your cejts

It's a sense in

Being not nonsenses.

I quit sensing

The helpless n

Saving yalfor Heaven's senses.

Well here's one cent in

A penny for my thought.

I'm as honest as an Abe Lincoln

Because four score and seven years ago

I seen this scene n

It all makes sense in

My head.

So I'm done with the dead pwn.

The dead pool.

I'm a spider man

I feed off my own drool.

Salivatin

Tarantula nation.

I got the venom

To start and stop a whole nation.

Eo this my placement.

I don't need your validation.

Asking or better yet

Tellin me

To sign my name next to X's placements.

Well I'm Malcolm and Martin

I'm 13 plus 13

I'm here to wake the 26 nation.

That's the Z Nation.

Too many zombies not waking.

But if you stay awake in

This moment you will never die.

So try more better

To use your own gifts as your own

Advantage

Instead of using other people's energy

And vampire blood

Life takin'

MY EXPERIENCE IN THE ROLEPLAYING COMMUNITY

🦄 the best thing that’s happened to me in roleplay this year -anon

-(( Well I could say the best thing is I am getting new muses thanks to a friend I met here back when the OnS fandom was not so dead. But I think to be truly honest is just getting back on Tumblr, even though it is a pain in the ass.

-I was watch Blue Exorcist one day and the thought crossed my mind to try and get back on some of the blogs. The main three I wanted to get on was Guren, Yu, and Yukio. It had been so long I forgot the log in info, you see. Thankfully finally I could get on Guren and Yukio, but not Yu. Still can't get on him. Had to make a new blog for him, same with my oc.

-Anyway, even with being gone for seven or so years it surprised me that people still remembered me. It has been nice to interact with them again, meet new people, stalk new people.

-I also just find it funny that Guren, who used to get so much hate, is now getting sent bad pick up lines. When that started for me, I could not stop laughing. I was laughing so hard I was crying. Guren hates them, but random stuff like that makes my day. It shows me I am not wtiting out into space, and someone is laughing along with me.))

[transfemzedaph]

Despite me not caring for Rosanna nor Aslan, I'm surprised with audacity CG has... What's wrong with them? Is it a new director who tries to milk the game?

A huge OOUF, CG, shame on you

[catherine-batty-author]

So, here we are! I’m really excited to finally share some of this story with you.

I SEE YOU is a romance / thriller set in 1950’s Paris and is the story of Roberta and Pierre.

I have specifically chosen today, 31st March, to share more about Roberta with you  - because today is International Transgender Visibility Awareness Day, and that matters because Roberta is a transwoman.

So often in media and literature, people who identify as transgender have very poor representation, and it rarely seems to be positive. Trans characters are often portrayed as sex workers, and the depiction of sex work is typically purely negative, with no nuance. Even worse, they're often murder victims. How many stories have a trans woman as not only the main protagonist, but also one of the romantic leads? I wanted to try and change that.

Here I present the prologue and first 2 chapters (which are still unedited and a work in progress) but as a teaser for the rest of the story to come, hopefully late 2021, or early 2022.

I will state these chapters are rated mature which includes sexual content.

Also, I will add as a trigger warning, that Roberta is in a relationship that falls under “dubious consent”. This will become clearer as to why as the story progresses, however it is not down to her gender identity – if you want to know more, please message me!

 

Once the full draft is completed, I will be looking for people to complete sensitivity reads. If you are interested, or know someone who might be, please message me!

I hope you enjoy the teaser. I SEE YOU is important to me, and I hope this story, when finally released, is able to add some positivity to trans representation in the media.

Has the world stopped spinning?

[sarisstories]

since it's Spooky season I'm thinking maybe it's time to write how Madalyn Jaymes Winchester found out the supernatural!? Not sure who all would read it but can't remember the last time I wrote something for my own enjoyment.

Can't remember who made the edit but if you did please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due .

thank you @eddysocs for the moodboard

Though out of curiosity who would read it?

it'd probably make a whole mini ficlett

Happy STS! Do your characters ever get a break from plot, or are they constantly hounded by Conflict? (Bonus - could you share a little bit of downtime with us? c;)

Pretty sure this was a handful of Saturdays ago, but I’m happy to answer!

There are rises and falls in everything I write, but the plot isn’t necessarily something that goes away even when my characters aren’t being relentlessly pursued by the antagonist(s) or trying to thwart the plot of some nefarious underground cult (they just can’t catch a break). For the sake of word economy, I try to accomplish as much in any given scene as possible (servicing character development, planting seeds of foreshadowing, etc.).

But do I allow my characters to have any fun?

Of course. Sometimes. Rarely. Never, no, no fun. Only pain.

One such scene kicks off chapter four of The Devil from the Outer Dark:

There was a lake at Saint Jean Pla de corts that Connor took the family to often during the summer. The Glass Lake, he called it, because of its placid appearance, and its unique reflection of the mountains, which he said was a window into solitude.

And it was peaceful. Blake had yet to take him up on the several offers to go to the coast...as the tour de France would be passing through in a matter of days...and it was only a few miles at that.

“A day trip, if you like,” he’d said. “We won’t have any extra expense but our time. Maybe a nice dinner.”

But Blake couldn’t do with the sea. She’d had enough of it. Even crossing the channel put too much on her constitution, and by the time she arrived in Calais, she was too overcome to get on the train. She still felt guilty about it.

But the lake was different. It was tranquil. And you could see the bottom. That was important. The sand, the silt, the lake weeds, and little freshwater fish.

Sabine prepared both a picnic...which Blake assisted with, no chicken incident here...and a lesson for Gabriel. Bird watching. Blake had never taken it up, but she was surprised at how much her sister-in-law knew. Well versed in all manner of birdsong, identification, and had an uncanny eye for catching their little bodies amid the tangle of branches and leaves. She was spotting Marsh Terns and Little Bustards, and Gabriel had a delightful time teaching his aunt Blake the French names for everything, in between bites of their summer salad.

By the time late afternoon came around, the boy had tuckered himself out, and Blake watched him on the shore while Connor and Sabine went for a walk around the lake. Despite herself, she dozed for a few minutes, and felt rather guilty when she was awakened by the sound of her family packing up their blankets and chairs.

They stopped at a farm outside town where a pleasant little man was selling, fresh from a stall, all manner of treats...whole bushels of cherries, apricots, blackberries, peaches, tarts, pies, and to Sabine’s pleasure, a few bottles of sweet cherry wine.

Blake bought two small bundles of cherries, one for snacking, one for trying her hand at pie-making, which Sabine sounded thrilled to teach her. And on the drive, Gabriel got into Connor’s dark-chocolate covered cherries and was scolded by both parents, but all was forgiven when he offered everyone pieces of tart in exchange. And it was delightful.
