WIP WEDNESDAY (plus a fic rec!!)

(the way I just spent so much time beating myself into posting and then almost said "who cares" and deleted it. literally screaming at my own brain.)

Oh boy, well as usual, I was not prepared but feel inspired by you all. I've missed a ton of tags lately for lots of wonderful shares and tag games, and I'm so sorry.

After @cutestkilla and I gifted our song to Pati last week (linked at the bottom if you haven't heard it yet!) I started working on another song.

This is a cover of an old favorite, All I Have to do is Dream by The Everly Brothers. I wanted the song on the playlist for my WIP fic, currently known as sad!Baz, but couldn't find a version that felt as helpless, depressing and full of agonizing longing as I needed. 🫠 So...just trying to do it myself.

How do you transform a song, made to showcase gorgeous harmonies, into its most depressing version?? How about slow it down, strip it back and take away the harmonies so it's obvious just how alone you are in this deep pit of despair and longing. (sorry Baz, "it helps to hurt the most")

This is very rough, just literally kinda free styling vocals, (and not hitting notes, messing up Uke fingerings) and seeing what works.

Also I can NOT stop thinking about a particular scene in What's Left, by @cutestkilla while working on this song. (If you've read the fic you know. The hotel bed, waking from dreams. 😭❤️) And right away I was like, screw my playlist this should be a gift for Dre...but Dre is also the person I've been sending messages to non-stop about how to make this song work 🤣 so...not much of a surprise there. Dre, I'm publicly declaring this song will be dedicated to you and that scene. ❤️

INCREDIBLE FIC REC If you haven't read What's Left. Please don't let the tags scare you away. This fic has changed me as a person. It is beautiful!! Do not miss out!

Gift Song by @cutestkilla and me, for @aristocratic-otter.

Thanks for the feedback.

Re: the meow. I am not sure what to do yet. All seem alright, except for the option to play it simultaneously with the line, which seems obvious. I'll see what I'll end up picking.

Re: breathing. The combination of these replies and the feedback on the Discord made me conclude that I will only edit them out if I think they're really, really bothersome, but y'all are right that I am indeed just hyperfocused on it. Thanks to someone on the Discord I also noticed they also tend to appear when I try to change my voice for a character. Basically, I need to let go of the idea that they're incredibly bothersome and be selective.

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!! AND BY DRAWING BOARD I MEAN AUDACITY!!

🖤six sentence Sunday🖤

Except it’s Monday but that’s fine 💀 thank you for the tags @bookish-bogwitch @fatalfangirl @ileadacharmedlife and @facewithoutheart ! And thank you to everyone else who’s tagged me in previous weeks even though I do this once in a blue moon (I’ll start to do it more often hopefully) ❤️

yesterday me and my beloved @cutestkilla posted a collab! She created this spectacular art to go with my (NSFW) brobelove fic, Crosse My Heart! The premise is that Agatha and Niamh have a very heated lacrosse match and there’s some erotic nectarine-eating and references to goat sacrifice if that sweetens the pot at all!

here’s 6 lines from the fic, and it’s Agatha POV and the scene is dialogue between her and Niamh:

you can read the full thing here if you enjoyed that snippet and check out the gorgeous art! I’m tagging some friends for next Wednesday: @bookish-bogwitch @fatalfangirl @wetheformidables @ileadacharmedlife @takitalks @whatevertheweather @captain-aralias @moodandmist @facewithoutheart and @cutestkilla of course 🖤🖤

Carry on Countdown | Day Thirteen: Shudder

This year I decided I wanted to honor the incredibly talented fic writers of this fandom, so I chose one fic per prompt to do an illustration for. I didn’t double up on authors so that I could do this for as many people as possible. I realized while planning this that there are way too many fics and authors that I love, and even after having picked 30 of what I consider some of my very favorites, I could have easily kept going. Please check the fics out if you haven’t, they all come highly recommended.

hey, what's up— *record scratch* *freeze frame* yep, that's me. posting a wipsday for the first time in months. you're probably wondering how i ended up in this situation.

lmfao no but yeah ngl i've mostly just been chilling on my own a lot lately. like, don't get me wrong. i love winter. but i would love it a whole lot more if it didn't marinate me in darkness sixteen hours a day, yk?

n e way i posted the first chapter of Without Sun a few days ago after having it sit completed in my drafts for over six months, and i already have the next 10k words written but it's still in shambles, i've gotta cut this whole chunk out the middle and rewrite it from scratch bc the pacing is off and i'm trying to do something really specific with Agatha in this chapter that i dunno if i'll be able to pull off—

and so i've opted to completely ignore it to inaccurately draw this scene from the first chapter instead. happy wednesday!

i dunno if i'll finish this bc i'm trying to do a whole bg thing here but i'm crap at backgrounds and learning new things is hard, but like fuck it we ball.

Hello besties! It’s been a while since I had been active (in a interactive way) around here. Thanks a lot to @orange-peony for tagging me in today six sentences!

Inktober and life keeps me busy but here a sketch of Simon and Baz that, one day, will be a full illustration, background and everything. Till then, here the sketch, inspired by a Simon’s quote where he says he likes to hold Baz with everything he has or that he would like to grow extra arms so he can hold onto Baz (?) something like that. I’m not even sure it’s canon or fanon. Hahaha. Happy Sunday besties!

Hi everyone! I’m climbing out of my cave and scheduling this in advance to spread the good word about vampire angst. Because, as anyone who’s read my blog title knows, I am a fiend for vampire angst, and there is some cracking vampire angst in this fandom.

Here's a selection of fics that dive into the tasty vampire stuff, especially ones that come with a serving of ‘this sucks actually’. I love all of these, but I’m sure I’ve forgotten or missed other great fics, so please feel free to reblog with your own recs!

Also, since these fics all deal with how being a vampire sucks, I’d recommend checking the tags before diving in.

The Eternal Life of Baz Pitch by @monbons

I am asking you all, please, hop on board and join me in reading along with this WIP. Monbons has a wonderful writing style; well-paced and impactful. She’s made some inspired choices in this AU. Angsty, clever, and so, so engrossing. Tasty angst so far, and we still have many chapters to go!

burning pitch by stainedglassflood

Lamb is a character who really fascinates me. This ficlet imagines a conversation Baz and Lamb would have if Lamb discovered Baz was a mage under less bloody circumstance. This short and sweet fic is something of a hidden gem, and I’ll cry forever that this is a 600 word fic, not a 60k one.

Crowding out the Bad (with Good) by twigs_in_my_hair

Another WIP, and if you are a fan of lore, this is one for you. This AU involves Simon trying to improve his diet with the help of nutritionist (and reluctant vampire) Baz. Twigs devotes so much to exploring Baz’s feelings about his vampirism, and how it has left marks on his life, behaviour, etc. And, of course, there's a lovely bit of slow burn Snowbaz along the way!

Joy and Trust by @bookish-bogwitch

Bogwitch constantly surprises and impresses me with her range. This short (400 words), sweet and heartbreaking ficlet sees Baz receiving a Visiting during the events of Carry On. I love it so much.

Proof of Life by @roomwithanopenfire

What if Natasha Pitch survived the vampire attack, but Baz still got Turned? What would that mean for Baz and the World of Mages? In this WIP, it means a Baz who is even more angsty about being a vampire than he already is in canon—and with good reason. Added bonus is the consideration for the wider canon divergence. What would Watford be like if Natasha is still headmistress but Davy is the Mage? Very intriguing fic so far, especially now we’ve landed in eighth year!

This is where it ends by LakeWitch

The least Baz-focused on the bunch, this fic is about the Mage taking Old Family children prisoner for leverage and the aftermath. It sees Baz hit his lowest point (gave me the big good sads), and then follows how he and Simon recover from all they’ve been through. Love it. 

A Record of You and I by Sip_of_your_soul

Argh. I just can’t. This one hurt so good. Want to die a little inside for fun? Read this.

Thanks everyone, I'm eager to see any recs you wanna make! Tags below the cut!

Thank you so much to @bookish-bogwitch for the tag and all of the lovely folks who've tagged me over the past few weeks! I haven't been able to be as active here as I'd like, but I'm hoping that'll change soon. I've been plugging away at sketches for COBB and I'm very much into Baz in knitwear!

@cutestkilla Matt and Agatha would by far be the fucking funniest duo ever, but unfortunately they do not really interact. After all, Matt thinks Agatha is fine with the situation, ya know? BUT MAN, if only they knew of each other's attitude. They're both so fucking done with this Chosen One crap.

Hello! I don't have any new words to share from Basil Pitch's Diary, but thought I'd share the BPD plot timeline that lives over my desk. Here it is, redacted but for one spoiler.

Art credits from top left: Basilton Grimm-Bitch by @artsyunderstudy Baz Pitch by @dead-cherry-bitch "Twinkle, twinkle little star!" by @dancingwdinosaurs

I just needed to physically move things around to grasp what could / should go when. When I finish writing an event, the paper slip comes down. (It's not to scale in terms of chronology--this started about halfway through the story.) At this point I've changed a lot and it's out of date but I've kept it up for inspiration. I mean--look at him! He deserves an HEA.

[you-remind-me-of-the-babe]

Happy Wednesday! I’m on spring break and blissfully alone at a cafe writing for a few hours this morning. The weather is just starting to turn nice (though its supposed to rain tomorrow) but I can feel spring coming properly, which makes me happy. I hope y’all are getting some nicer weather soon, too.

I’m plugging away on my new WIP. I previously mentioned I’m tentatively titling it Back and Back and Back. I also quite like Start at the End, though I’m not sure if that description will end up strictly accurate, so might not work. We shall see.

I’m going to go ahead and share the premise now (or rather, the inspiration) because why not? I was reading through @carryonprompts and found this one and quite liked the idea. I started daydreaming about it in earnest right away. This was the first thing I wrote:

Past

BAZ age 6, 2003

When I get home from school, Vera always makes me a snack. After that, I’m supposed to do my homework before I’m allowed to go outside and play. There’s always pages and pages of it, and it’s horrid, because it’s so easy, it makes me want to rip it to pieces, or hide it under my bed. And if I have to read one more book about Dick and Jane, I think I might scream. (I’ve read every one of the books in my Beatrix Potter collections. Doesn’t my teacher know that if I can read words like presently, I shouldn’t need to read these baby primers?)

Even though I could do this stuff in my sleep, it’s going to have to wait because today he is here.

Or at least, I think he is. I only saw a flash of red out beyond the trees, but that’s as good a sign as any. I don’t want to make him wait, because I don’t know how long he’ll have to visit today, so I have to plan my escape quite quickly.

I don’t imagine this holding too closely to the book/movie. I’m taking inspiration from parts I liked (and can remember 15 years later lol) but shaping this to be a Watford-era, canon divergent fic with some time traveling/soul mate/destiny elements. It feels very ambitious for me to try writing time travel because it hurts my brain to even consume time travel media sometimes 🤣 and I am much more of a pantser than a planner when I write. Then again, the prospect of pulling off this sort of challenge intrigues me. Wish me luck!

Tags/hello/hope you are well 😘

HAPPY WIPSDAY ASSHOLES THIS TOO COULD BE YOUR BRAIN ON

repeatedly listening to the bridge of

Waiting Room by Phoebe Bridgers

“You’re my favorite person.”

Baz lets out a little puff of air that could be a laugh if he wasn’t so tired. His head lolls back and forth in tiny motions against the wall, shaking no with the saddest whisper of a smile.

“Don’t say that.”

I knock my knee against his again. Like he’s a door and this repeated motion might open him up.

“Why not?”

He reopens his eyes but stares at the ceiling instead of me. It makes me freeze in place, afraid I’ll spook the honesty away. His voice comes out smaller than his rapidly disappearing smile.

“Because it’s cruel.”

sorry that lacked hinge

Thank you @artsyunderstudy for the tag! I'm unclear if this is a WIP or just an idea I’m poking at for EGF. 

Watford 8th year. Mysterious, seductive things keep happening to Simon and Baz. (Note: this fic is about more than just lace knickers; however, they will spend the majority of it in lace knickers.) 

🍑 🍑 🍑

“It’s not funny, Baz! I don’t get why you’d do this. What are you up to?”  Once again, I push the covers off my face. “Me? You think I left a pair of women’s knickers in your wardrobe? You probably got someone else’s laundry mixed up in your own. Choose a different pair and return those to the laundry room. Crowley, I can’t believe I have to explain this to you.”  “I— can’t— choose— another— pair!” Snow punctuates each word by lifting knickers out of a drawer until finally he’s extending both hands towards me, fists stuffed full of panties.  “Hell’s spells,” I murmur, for once feeling as lost for words as Snow. “Are you saying all of your pants have been replaced by…that.” I gesture towards his fists.  Snow nods.  “And you think I—?”  Snow shrugs and twenty or so pairs of white-lace knickers raise a few centimeters in the air.  “Why on earth would I do something like that?” Snow shrugs again, which is when it occurs to me that this is not my problem. “Free ball it then.”
