25.09.2023 | Filling in the gaps

I'm on a bit of a mission to fill in every last bit of space in the polyglot journal I started in 2019. Some pages I left intentionally blank so that my future (i.e. present) self could weigh in on whatever needs weighing in on, tbh. Lessons I've learnt, glaringly obvious mistakes (taking on too much, wacky timelines, delusional goal setting, usw.), and general commentary.

Right now I'm only focusing on filling in the gaps for that decade month of a year, i.e. May to August, 2020.

Wish me luck!

I'm working on the last chapter of my WIP. Sort of. It's not going well.

What are my writer followers up to tonight?

wip wednesday

Tagged by the lovely @for-the-ninth and @cleverblackcat - thank you!

Still chipping away at the writer’s block, but I’m trying to go slow and take it easy so I don’t burn out. Here’s (literally!) the last bit I wrote for Uprooted:

She tries to smile, but it poured out as a grimace instead. "No shadows without the sun," she rasps, coughing as the words irritate her arid throat.

Flemeth grins, wide and feline. "The sun has power, and shadows too," she remarks, her gaze filled with knowledge and otherworldly magic. Her eyes dart between Ilearys and the man she so carefully cradles. "I will help," she says at last, "but know that it comes at a price, child."

"Anything," her declaration flows with the kind of rashness borne from desperation. "Anything I have is yours."

The old woman - asha’bellanar, Ilearys sternly reminds herself, she is no old woman - cackles. "Do not be so quick to offer up that which you cannot understand, girl," her voice is laced with humor and something that makes Ilearys shiver. "Do you even know the worth of such an offer?"

She bows her head, the end of her braid brushing against Tamlen's pallid cheek. "I do not fear death," she says quietly. "I fear a life lived with this malady in my veins. I question the choice of an existence where my heart pounds to such malevolent music. I do not know the worth of anything I have, or any offer I make," she lifts her head to look Flemeth unflinchingly in the eye, "But I know his worth, and I know the world will be better for having him in it."

The older woman is silent, her face so stern it could have been carved from stone. Tamlen coughs violently. A glob of phlegm hurtles out of his mouth and lands on her shoulder; it is slimy, tinged with green and red and black and it smells of death, but she cannot seem to let go of him for even the second it would take to wipe it away.

Several minutes pass by, each a lifetime of its own. At last, Flemeth softens; Ilearys can see it in the easing of her spine. "Very well," she nods. "I will aid you, child. Come." 

She staggers to her feet. It is an enormous struggle to raise Tamlen, but she manages, half-carrying, half-dragging him into the decrepit old hut. "What do you want in return?"

Flemeth’s golden eyes, already ancient and all-seeing, fill with something dangerously similar to retribution.

About to lose my fucking mind, I’ve been at this for sooo long! Have I ever mentioned that I hate painting hair?

#art #painting #wip #hair my behated #yes I’m doing that complimentary contrast series I was talking about #and I’m like so close to finishing this one #and yet so far

[not-poignant]

omg ur making an oracle deck?! please let us know when you're finished. i'd love to buy one

Oh man anon you can bet I'm going to let everyone know and I will be extremely obnoxious about it for at least a week.

You can see the test deck here! (Still needs some tweaking).

I'm working on the booklet now. Well, I was, I'm actually on my way to bed now. I'm hoping to release it this year, god knows I've put 'copyright 2022' on the surface of so many things I'd better, lmao.

#asks and answers #personal #expansive animal oracle #i'm so close #AND YET SO FAR #text in photoshop is worse than text in Word #i didn't think it was possible #it's only a 20 page booklet #but i'd rather format a 100k novel with style sheets again dsalkfjdaslfkdsa #aNYWAY #progress was made tonight lol #tomorrow i'll take a break and hopefully edit the Nascent Diplomat :D

the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

#yeehaw #1k #5k #10k #posts that got cursed. blasted. im making these tag updates after... 19 hours? #also i have been told it should say speech loss bc nonverbal specifically refers to the permanent state. did not know that! #unfortunately i fear it is so far past containment that even if i edited it now it would do very little. but noted for future reference #edit 2: nvm enough ppl have come to rb it from me directly that i changed the wording a bit. hopefully this makes sense #also. in case anyone is curious. though i doubt anyone who is commenting these things will check the original tags #1) my friend did not do this on purpose in any way. it was not intended to distract me or to hit on me. im a lesbian hes a gay man. cmon now #he felt very bad about it afterwards. i thought it was hilarious but it was very embarrassed and apologetic #2) “why didn't he use 🫵🏼?” didn't exist yet. “why didn't he use 🆗?” dunno! we'd been using a lot of hand emojis. 👌🏼 is an ok sign #like it makes sense. it was just a silly mixup. also No i did not invent 👉🏼👌🏼 as a gesture meaning sex. do you live under a rock #3) nonspeaking episodes are a recurring thing in my life and have been since i was born. this is not a quirky one-time thing #it is a pervasive issue that is very frustrating to both myself and the people i am trying to communicate with. in which trying to speak is #extremely distressing and causes very genuine anguish. this post is not me making light of it it's just a funny thing that happened once #it's no different than if i post about a funny thing that happened in conjunction w a physical disability. it's just me talking abt my life #i don't mind character tags tho. those can be entertaining. i don't know what any of you are talking about #Except the ppl who have said this is pego/ryu or wang/xian. those people i understand and respect #if you use it as a writing prompt that's fine but send it to me. i want to see it #aaaand i think that's it. everyday im tempted to turn off rbs on it. it hasn't even been a week

#good omens #´hello friends!! how are you!! #I hope you're doing well! ( ´ ▽ ` ) #I have a big cough but otherwise I am good! It's nothign bad I am just very slimey #usually I am not a cough person I am not sure where this is coming from #most of the time I just get a stuffy nose #has my nose gotten stronger #but there are good news too I have already found a VERY good chestnut to put into my pocket this autumn!! its very small! (❁´▽`❁) #it's been a very warm autumn in Germany so far so it has not really felt like fall yet #but yesterday it was all rainy and stormy and I had two new books and it was the best day possible to have a slimey cough (: #and now I feel SO much autumn I am close to buying a set of window colors #I do not know what I would to with the window colors I just have this strong urge in me to buy a window color set #the last time I did a window color was at the birtday of a class mate I think she turned 9 and I made a deer #but for some reason we did this craft 5 minutes before we all had to leave so we had to carry our window color deer home wet #unfortunatly for the deer and me I fell down the stairs of her house and smeared the deer all over me and i screamed the entire drive home #which wasn't very long but it probably felt very long for the mother who had a screaming child covered in window color deer inside her car
