ELDRITCH PRIMARCHS

So on the Discord server, the conversation started about what the Primarchs' Warp-forms would look like (pre-heresy in Corvus' case)

So...yeah.

Death does not take gods into it’s rest.

A god falls forever but the abyss is not empty.

Entropy, infernal growth, eternal mouth, rises up to meet the corpse’s still-beating heart.

A god does not die.

A god is devoured.

But.

The Humans saw their creature die. And they worshipped it for dying and as dying.

Gods do not die. Yet this one dies, as the words of worship make it so. Yet it lives, as the power of worship makes it so. The Undying God screams. The Carrion Lord rots, yet the Immortal Emperor grows in power.

The Undying God screams……and is heard.

It starts in the Throne room but gradually spreads throughout the Palace. Why should they fear or hate it? The words of their Lord are met with joy. Their changing bodies accepted with honour.

(What if the presence of the Emperor's Death had...side effects? Soul-bound to Him as they are, surely his Dearest Companions would change with Him...)

The trope of 'confident loving parental figure tames feral child with affection and respect for boundaries' is dead. There is only the reverse of 'confident loving child tames feral parental figure with affection and respect for boundaries and also by being stubborn as hell'

Child: (leaves out a crayon drawing for the adult) Adult: (snatches it when you're not looking, carefully adds it to their hoard of shiny objects and pretends their heart didn't just experience a stab of affection)

The Discord has made its case.

The Emperor/The Tyranid Hivemind is a ship now

A Cursed Ship, but a Ship nonetheless.

Tips for Writing Character Descriptions

(Starring Shaw, an OC from Constellations as he is a bastard and I love him) Let's start with a very boring description as a baseline.

'He looked more like a vampire than most of his kind. His skin was unnaturally pale and his eyes all black. His bald head had metal plates riveted into it. His throat was in a collar with wires that burrowed into his skin. His grin showed a lot of sharp teeth. His gauntlets were tipped with long claws.'

Oof, that's boring. The list-like sentence structure has already put me half to sleep. Sounds like you've described a Halloween prop instead of a character, Shaw sounds very lifeless.

1. Remove pronouns You have just introduced your character. The next paragraph is the description and that is why it is a separate paragraph, the Reader will still be able to follow when the paragraph after that is back to the narrative. The Reader does not need constant pronouns to remind them who is being described.

'Looked more like a vampire than most of his kind. Skin was unnaturally pale and eyes all black. Bald head had metal plates riveted into it. Throat was in a collar with wires that burrowed into his skin. Grin showed a lot of sharp teeth. Gauntlets were tipped with long claws.'

Even though some of your sentences don't make sense any more, it's still more exciting to read, isn't it? Your eyes are enjoying all those different capital letters.

2. Change your sentence layout Since we're going with minimal pronoun usage, sentences will need to change to make sense. But let's go a little further and switch some of them around.

'Looked more like a vampire than most of his kind. Skin unnaturally pale and eyes all black. Metal plates riveted into his bald head. Throat was in a collar with wires that burrowed into his skin. Sharp teeth showed in a grin. Gauntlets were tipped with long claws.'

Oh yes, much better. However, he still sounds like he's just standing there. Well, maybe he is, but he can't be completely lifeless.

3. Tie in some actions Animate your character. What are they doing while being described? Think about your setting but also what sort of person they are. Or maybe they really aren't doing anything. So, describe the setting, the light, the atmosphere.

'Looked more like a vampire than most of his kind. Skin unnaturally pale and eyes all black. Dim lighting played over metal plates riveted into his bald head. Throat was in a collar with wires that burrowed into his skin. Sharp teeth showed in a grin. Gauntlets tipped with long claws flexed lazily on the armrests of the throne.'

Looking good! In all honesty you could stop there, but maybe it just needs an extra touch of something to finish off and make him truly memorable.

4. Abstract imagery Similes and metaphors! Yes, doing these last, now that we a have a feel for the character. And let's keep away from 'x like a' and 'x was a' wording. Not just similes and metaphors though, let's change up some of our words and actions. Choose words and imagery that make the Reader feel how they should feel about this character. E.g. don't tell me someone is shifty, tell me their words are slippery and that they never meet my gaze for more than a second.

'Looked more like a vampire than most of his grotesque kind. Corpse-white skin around pitted eyes that gleamed like tar in the dim light. That same light played over metal plates riveted into his naked scalp. Throat clasped in a collar with maggot wires that wormed darkly into his skin. Sharp teeth flashed in a crocodilian grin. Gauntlets tipped with long claws flexed lazily on the armrests of the throne.'

Now this is great! In this one short description you've not only described Shaw in an exciting, interesting and fun-to-read way, but put him in the setting and introduced his personality.

Now the Reader knows what Shaw looks like, but also that his collar is hurting him(maggot wires/wormed darkly), he's laid-back and considers his high position secure while being willing to defend it with force(long claws flexed lazily) and that he uses deception and sudden overwhelming violence to get what he wants(crocodilian grin).

Now he sounds like a memorable character!

peggysousweek · 3 years

Text

The prompts are here! Thank you to everyone who submitted a prompt, and I have used the submissions to assign big themes for each day, and then placed the prompts into a document that creators can use for inspiration.

Just a reminder, Peggysous Week 2021 will run from Sunday, August 1st to Saturday, August 7th

The AO3 Collection is now live as well! I know you won’t need it until posting week, but I figured it might just be easier to get it done now. It’s not mandatory to post in the AO3 Collection, but it’s a great place for readers to go and find fics/art in one place, so if you’re posting on AO3 anyway I do recommend it.

i separated them into themes for fic and themes for art, because i really only received prompts for fics and art. if an artist wants to work with a writer and create art for the writer’s fics, that’s fine, i just wanted to make sure there were prompts that artists could do as well.

now that the event has its own blog I’ll be reblogging all your posts here! tag @peggysousweek in your creations, and use #peggysous week 2021 and I’ll do my best to make sure I see it.

the prompts are under the cut!!

For Writers:

August 1st - Day 1: au’s and/or tropes

August 2nd - Day 2: five times (and an optional +1)

August 3rd - Day 3: life moments or missing scenes

August 4th - Day 4: song fics

August 5th - Day 5: dialogue prompts*

August 6th - Day 6: emotion words^

August 7th - Day 7: free day

*you can use any dialogue prompts you want or find. if you’re looking for something funny or different, you can use this incorrect quotes generator, or any prompt from one of the many lists on this site (if you search “dialogue prompts,” you should find some good ones).

^for this prompt, you can use any word (or words) for emotion, no matter how simple or complicated they are. here’s a list of some more in depth ones if you’re struggling with where to start.

For Artists:

August 1st - Day 1: au’s and tropes

August 2nd - Day 2: seasons or holidays

August 3rd - Day 3: life moments or missing scenes

August 4th - Day 4: peggysous’ interaction with others

August 5th - Day 5: dialogue prompts (see * above for notes)

August 6th - Day 6: without people (representations of peggysous without them specifically in the piece)

August 7th - Day 7: free day

here is a spreadsheet with all the requested fic and art prompts, if you want to draw inspiration from it. as long as your piece loosely fits the theme of the day, you’re all good, i don’t want this to be a high stress thing. in addition, if you want to use the writer’s themes for your art instead (and vice versa for fic writers), that’s totally fine. The only big rule is that the art or fic must include Peggy/Daniel as the primary pairing. there were some prompt submissions that were not Peggysous prompts, and i didn’t really include those (i think i let one or two slide because it was possible to add peggysous).

Some other quick rules:

NSFW content is fine, just place it under a cut or I will not reblog it.

Similarly, if your fic has any trigger warnings, please include them before the fic

I suggest using a cut for any piece over 400 words, and here’s a post on how to do that if you don’t know how

If you’re only posting on ao3 but you have a tumblr post with the link and the summary information, feel free to tag me in that! If you don’t, I’ll just use the info post from the agent carter ao3 feed blog (if applicable, i may use the post from the jack thompson ao3 feed because that blog has working links on its posts)

please put somewhere what overall day theme you are responding to. i plan on tagging them all by day of the week (day 1 fic , day 2 art, etc). if you used a specific prompt from the spreadsheet, you can include that so people know, but i don’t need it for organization purposes

you don’t have to use the prompt list if you don’t want to. i just collected them so people can have a place to start if they need, and so creators have an idea of what people may want to see.

I think that’s it! I’m here if you have any questions. This isn’t my primary blog, which means that I’ll reply to any direct comments on this post from my main blog @fandomsandxfiles
