#cause i was getting wayyy too hung up on specifics

Both hands gripped the rail as Portia stared into the night sky. The stars were barely visible within the city, especially on a night like tonight. The scent of smoke filled the air as the fires across the city grew larger and larger. They were safe for now, but how long? The fires would only incite more rage from the people, enraged at her for something she could not - no. That wasn't quite right, was it? It's not that she couldn't stop it. She was the one who started it. It had to be done. There were many who opposed her rise to power, many who once supported her have since switched sides. Portia felt the phantom pain spread across her arm, the fangs that tore into her arm. Bending over, she gasped. Deep, ragged breaths. In. Out. In. Out. The pain slowly eased even as tears ran down her face. Her right arm gripped her left, feeling the cold metal under her fingers. The arm had been amputated for months now but the pain and the memories seemed to never stop.

Leaning against the balcony rails, Portia glared out across the city. Lady Thaisa was ideally trapped in that damn pub. Lady Thaisa, Lady Albany, and Lord Robin. They would pay for their betrayal to their queen. Even if she had to take out half the city to do so.

#so i didnt directly include the word amputate #BUT!! #mc is missing an arm so i call that close enough #i also sat with this open without anything written for so long i eventually decided to just write something cause hey #something is better than nothing #also i wrote this based off different prompted words than i was first given #cause i was getting wayyy too hung up on specifics #and the second generated word combo was #''mechanical queen'' #which immediately gave me a character to start with so yayy #also i wasnt originally gonna write tags but i feel the need to explain everything i do always #and since i already did this many i might as well add a few more #writing #op

🤯💔 for fic ask game love u sm

kel my beloved thank you!!!!

🤯 What's a genre you struggle with as a writer (ex. romance, action, etc.)? I'm no good at writing action scenes. Big battles I think I can do, painting with broad strokes and describing the dramatic bits, but close up combat I just don't write well. I get too bogged down in describing each movement and it ends up feeling almost clinical. Similar to steamy scenes, I think I get hung up on needing to describe every little motion to convey the mental image but I always end up cutting it wayyy down before posting.

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart? Not a fic in specific, but a drabble post about my favorite Skyrim men accidentally causing the death of their partner. Listened to some sad music and got deep in my feelings about that one. Or here's a silly little secret: I've never posted any, but I've written quite a bit of Borderlands fic and everything about Krieg and Maya ends up being so heartbreakingly sad. Sometimes I reread it when the BL2 brainrot comes back around and get into a real angsty mindset.
