Lol alright let's do it.

1. Homeward Drowned

2. No. But my second draft title was Driftwood Souls. I liked Homeward Drowned (reference to the words homeward bound, but, well, drowned lol) better though, as it fits the story more.

3. The Wounds of Wood and Water

What chu guys think?

Okay now I am curious. 👀

How does everyone come up with titles for their work?

Do you have a go-to style, or is it more "vibes based" depending on the work?

this question is prompted by me wondering where the new publishing trend of what seems like a lot of unrelated book series having titles along the lines of

"The [blank] of [blank] and [blank]"

with me wondering where it came from, and if it is based off of one book series that everyone else is trying to copy, if its something publishers are pushing, or a mix of both.

so, as a fun little interactive post:

What's your current WIP document title,

Are you planning on changing the title after editing

what would the title be if you formatted it in "The [blank] of [blank] and [blank]" style?

It's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Whumpmas~ 🎄 🎁

It's getting cold everyone and I'm starting to feel festive! So how about we turn this thing around and I share some lovely and sadistic prompts? Have fun everyone! <3

~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~~~♡~~~~~~~~~》

◇ Humming a nice little holiday song while walking through whumpee's house with a knife, searching where they hid again.. A big smile on their face. "You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why.. Santa Claus is coming to town."

◇ Whumpee kneeling on the plush red carpet.. It used to be white, just this morning.

◇ Whumpee choking on a pretty long candy cane

◇ Dressing a boy who isn't very into femme things in a very cute and slightly revealing elf outfit for women

◇ A Whumpee who usually loved Christmas always being tortured to the sound of their favourite Christmas music

◇ Whumper making a nice little show out of Whumpee picking his torture method. A bunch of things wrapped nicely, in boxes under a tree. They'll have to endure all, but they can choose and unwrap them, bound in a way that they can barely use their hands. Too tired to use this thing against whumper.

◇ Some sweet hypothermia, Whumpee slowly becoming a snowman as they're chained up against the back wall of the house, out in the blistering cold. Bonus points for White Christmas playing from inside the house. ;)

◇ A yandere Whumper having Whumpee bound and gagged next to them near the piano as they play All I Want For Christmas Is You, singing to them.

Let me know if you like these! I'd love to have some feedback and if you have any suggestions or requests, feel free to drop them in the ask box on top! I do sweet comfort, whump, and generally completely random things out of the blue. I do anything. Just not really fandom based things. 👋 Buhbye!

Anyone else just casually scrolling whump prompts and listening to Michael Bublé's Christmas album?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm... might share some ideas with you all later.

Have a holly jolly (and totally hinged) christmas~ 🎄 😁

That moment when you just scroll through pinterest for character visuals and SUDDENLY there's a picture that makes you put something completely new and random into the plot, even add another person into it and question whether you're not doing too much.

Small writing tip! #1

AI isn't always bad. Oh yes. I hate you if you decide to let it write your story, that is not useful at all. But! Here it comes..

Chatgpt, right? It won't write your emotional poem. It cannot put in the same emotional intensity concentrated into a few very meaningful words.

But it can help you if you tell it things about your book. If you tell things about your characters. When you don't find that specific prompt on tumblr, you can tell the bot and it can give some good ideas based on analysis.

In that way, it is not stealing anyone anything. It is not mediocre.

The way I do it, for example, is, that I tell it my character stuff, give it a visual, and it will psychoanalyse the character. With that, you can ask how to incorporate it into the plot points you already have, if you don't know where this character could fit in.

After I told the bot much about my book and we'd worked on it for a while, I just asked the bot if Bad Omens (the band) would fit well to the plot of my book, as in if the vibes match. It said definitely and listed a bunch of reasons why it fits after analysing and comparing both, plot and songs by the band. Then it gave me suggestions which lyrics fit best. Same worked when I asked it about the genre Metalcore and two more bands, which seemed to fit even better.

Mostly, the bot is a source of inspiration! It shouldn't do the job of writing the book for you. Still, you can see it like a good friend that is also a writer, and brainstorm for your book. The title ideas are basic. But it'll inspire you to look for ways to make the titles better. Find the faults and delete them.

P.S. i do not use any AI for my posts. This is just me! Thought I'd say it now lmao. Normal prompts don't work very well with AI. Just the inspo and psychoanalysis.

(Pirate) Ship Roles for the Crew!

-------------------☆~>

Captain: On non-government ships, the Captain is voted by the ship's crew. Can be replaced by majority votes. They're expected to be great in battle, navigation and seamanship. Need to be a leader personality.

Quarter Master: Sort-of vice Captain, takes on the role of Captain when he's unavailable. Also elected to represent the interests of the crew. In turn he received extra booty. He also maintains order, settles quarrels and distributes all goods. Keeps records and account books for the ship.

Sailing Master/Navigator: In charge of navigation and sailing of the ship.

Boatswain: Supervises the maintenance of the vessel and its supply stores. Inspects the condition of the ship each morning and reports to the captain. In charge of all deck activities.

Carpenter : Responsible for maintenance and repair. Often, due to the tools, he would jump in as an emergency surgeon, too.

Master Gunner: In charge of the ship's ammunition and weaponry.

Mate(s), First Mate: On a large ship, there's often more than one (That's why First Mates exist). Served as an apprentice to the ship's Carpenter, Gunner, Boatswain and Master. Hard worker.

A.B.S. (Able Bodied Sailor, Common Sailor): Helps out with anything and everything, really! Has knowledge of most necessary things, like some navigation, steering, ..

Rigger: Works the running rigging and the furling and unfurling of the sails. Constant risk of falling!

Cabin Boy(s): Young boys who work on the ship as servants. Usually runaways or kidnapped from another ship.

Powder Monkey: Young boys who run gunpowder from below decks up to the cannons during battle.

Swab/Swabbie: Mop the decks. Has also become a slang for people you do not hold highly.

I just decided to also serve as a prompt maker, as really, I might need ideas but, for others, I often prove to be helpful. SO, requests are open! I'll post now and then, notes and prompts and writing help, for myself and others. Join in if you'd like!

You can write "seamen", as in a kind of sailor, but once you say it out loud... 🧐

Preparing

Aight so before I'm starting to read the duet I bought, I still have Threads of Power here and I'm just....

Should I read it now? Should I leave it for later? What if I can't stand the ending? What if it shatters my whole world from the first books? What if I actually do not like it?

Kinda scared to be honest, but it has to happen sometimes. And since it's the same universe.. Gotta look, yea?

This feels like a warm up to a work out.

It's a bit difficult to find the right font size on my ebook-reader, though. I've been diagnosed partially blind and to not tire my functioning eye out, I need to make the font much bigger than normal. That makes the pages go up like crazy on my epub, and sometimes it's a bit demotivating.

Let's see!

[whitelightremains]

So I recently bought the collector's hardbacks for this savage song and our dark duet. I haven't read the books yet, but the descriptions, the covers, everything SO GOOD.

And yes, I looked at the last lines of each book, I'm a self-spoiler. I know, problematic but it is what it is.

These books are gorgeous and best quality. Only paid 40€ for them, too. I am amazed.

Can't wait to read!

You will not use AI to get ideas for your story. You will lie on the floor and have wretched visions like god intended
