🌧️Share something angsty from your WIP! From here!

A mini exert from a section of my fic that I will get to in...maybe 15 chapters JKDFSDGF

Thanks for the ask btw! :D

CW: Blood, Gore, Mentions of a toxic relationship, Bones, teeth were busted

“I fucking hate you.”

“Do you?”

Rahgot’s broken grin curled to an obscene amount as Elyden hooked his claws around the man’s collarbones. His once pearly whites were crooked and knocked out of his bleeding mouth. 

“Yes.” Elyden sneered as he gripped harder into the bone that was beginning to bulge past the pale skin. “Your mother should’ve swallowed you from the afterthought of your father’s short stains.” 

The dragon priest burst out laughing. His howls indiscernible from pain and mocking as Elyden mercilessly dug deeper into his bones. Nails acting as hooks, Elyden dug underneath the atmoran’s bones to get a better grip for them. 

“If you want to hurt me, you have to try a lot harder than that, Dragonborn.” Rahgot’s eyes were red from tears and eyelids wide open. As if Elyden had stretched out and sewn that lids to forever stay wide open. It was a tempting thought. 

Elyden had rarely ever seen Rahgot display anything but his smug scorn for others. Even behind that mask, his teeth were always elongated out into a smile. His fangs sharpened like his tongue as he happily tore people down with his words. Thin eyes perked up in a cat-like precision as he watched everyone’s movements and criticized each breath. 

He hated that man. Despised his very presence. Spat at the sound of his name. Gagged at the smell of pine mulch. Detested his harsh tone. Abhorred his scratchy voice. Loathed his cold hands and warm hands. Revolted at the idea of letting Rahgot back into his bed once more. Idolized the feeling of being yearned for, even if it was just so that Rahgot could brag that ‘he got to shag the Last Dragonborn’. 

Even as lonely Elyden has been for the past few decades — Rahgot whimpered as Elyden tugged at the collarbone, beautifully mixed with the snapping of flesh  — nothing has been worth this.

A crack of old bone that was carved eras ago with old magic.

Something akin to a cry finally spilled out of Rahgot’s vile throat.

Curling around his steady hands that were stained of lukewarm blood, Elyden pulled.

you can have lichen grow on your DOS installation now?? neat

C:\>lichen.... such a thing to make DOS parse

#“now” as if people started writing DOS viruses again #from the video i'm watching it doesn't do any actual harm to your computer except take up space and grow lichen when idle #it's just a screensaver you didn't want to download

what is the point of accommodations if professors can just find loopholes to work around them but since they're still technically following them it doesn't matter. i live in hell

#having accommodations for slides does not help if the prof writes most of the info on them in class and moves faster than i can #physically i cannot write fast enough. and trying to leaves me in immense pain for the rest of the day. why. why. #pages on pages of blank/unfinished notes #sorry for complaining but it's so damn frustrating college is already built for ableds but they still feel the need to do shit like this #lichenisms

lichen stuff pt 2

things i like:

she’s VERY smart and seems to be quite intuitive. we’ve started on games like Collar Grab and ItsYerChoice, and as long as she’s in a good mood she has a very clear understanding of both games. she also has already picked up on needing to have all four paws on ground before i open her kennel/pen. similarly, she doesn’t jump on me anymore when i have treats, and instead lays or sits down and waits (i haven’t tried teaching her lay down or sit yet, she just offers it as a “wait” behavior). she’s very silly and seems to have tons of personality, LOVES toys (finally a dog who likes toys!) we’ve been doing AMAZING with potty training, we’ve had 3 total accidents over the 5 days she’s been here. she’s actually pretty quiet (aside from puppy tantrums) and settles nicely in her crate. she’s an absolute sweetheart and loves affection and cuddling. she’s very observant in new situations and she’ll just sit there with her nose wiggling like crazy taking everything in! she also has naturally really good bite inhibition when she’s in a good mood. she’s accidentally nailed my hand during tug and as soon as she feels it’s my hand she softens her bite.

things to work on:

definitely her confidence - mudi just naturally aren’t a super robustly confident breed so i knew this would need attention anyway. she’s definitely not nervy or anxious, but she is shy and prefers to stick with her humans as opposed to strangers (honestly my preference - i don’t want a dog that wants to say hi to strangers). but i do want her to be confident enough to feel safe on her own. speaking of her humans, she has a ROUGH time settling down if one of her humans is within her line of sight. she really wants our attention and has that classic herder FOMO (thank you Katie for that description lol). other than that, i think most of our frustration is just puppy stuff like chewing and mouthing.

#lichen #8 weeks #i haven't been feeling great physically since before i got her #so i'm kind of in an emotional/spoons deficit as it is #which is a great time to introduce a puppy lol! #she really is doing great #i'm intentionally writing the things i like about her bc it's easy to get caught up in all the stress and frustration of having a puppy! #like i've said before #this is my first puppy so i'm very like TOTALLY SANE AND NORMAL about it #also #shoutout to my friends for always listening to me vent/explain problems and being extremely helpful providing support and perspective and #advice #LOVE Y'ALL

🏝️🤝📝 for the ask game!!

hello hello!!! :> thank you!!

🏝 Share your favorite description of a setting.

The building had been renovated shortly before his enrollment, old walls and floors torn away to make new ones. Old furniture was thrown out, too, or fixed and repainted like the desk where he sat. In a way, he supposed it was almost poetic, though he’d never really been one for poetry. Even though he’d never seen the old building, the signs of what came before were obvious to anyone who looked closely enough.

from fragile things!!

🤝 Share a line that introduces a character.

It’s then that they realize they’re not alone. There is a man standing only a few feet away, wearing a long, black robe with a hood around his shoulders. His face is pale as death and bears a grin sharper than any knife, his blood-red eyes sparkling with delight.

from 'dead chess wip'!!

📝 Share the first line of your project.

The first time he met Arthur Huffman, it was a chilly Monday morning in mid-January of 2007, with clear skies and a cold breeze ruffling the hair and clothes of the students bustling about.

The Affair of the Languishing Lettristes

The Affair of the Languishing Lettristes

I assume that most fans of Geranium Lake Properties identify this series with the labels L-Bough, Elbow or The Story of L, because those names are slightly easier to pronounce (and spell) than Lettristes. Or maybe that’s just my reason, because of my inability to correctly pronounce French, which I believe is genetic. Seven images in today’s post. Yikes.

In September, I had to step back into copywriting duties and since then, it’s been hard to find the energy for my own writing after work. Even reading is tough again. It’s … it feels awful, really awful … but making things has helped. I still feel creative, it’s something that’s still mine, that isn’t work. Between making gifts, I’ve been working on this simple moss stitch scarf while I watch tv or during meetings. Especially meetings that just make me mad.

I can’t take back the time I’ve lost to work since late August. It feels stolen. And I resent it. I resent it so much.

But making something — something lovely but also methodical and linear and patterned and repetitive and sure — has grounded that resentment and made the tired hours after work feel less hollow and more purposeful even when I can’t write.

I am still filled with resentment, but I’m grateful to have this. So I know I won’t lose myself in this void. That instead it will be a turning point. Can’t see it yet. But I think I’ll look back and know.

WIP Whenever

tagging: UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH just pretend I tagged ya if you want to be tagged <3

Love not uh doing tag games unless it's 2am for me let's gooooooooo

This is just a mini thing, of Miraak and Elyden sitting on top of each other naked with dragon aspects on. A WIP so it's not Nice, but ye!

TW: nudity ofc, and talks of cannibalism

Elyden rarely ever admitted he was jealous. But right now as he straddled Miraak’s wonderful hips and traced his hands against his love handles, he admitted he was jealous. Unlike his, Miraak’s dragon aspect was stunning. Its silky wings curled around him with wondrous oranges and blue. The ethereal hums kept Elyden comfortably cool as the dead draconic souls were weaved into each scale. Golden, protruding scales littered his body that threatened to dig into Elyden’s thighs. 

Miraak’s eyes glowed a dull orange - akin to glowstone - as he lazily looked up at the elf. Through those eyelashes and shitty eyeliner that didn’t make him any less handsome. His soft hands latched onto Elyden’s waist, thumbs running up and down the sides. Brown hair - still wet from a bath - flowed between the crown of horns that twisted up into the sky. Horns beautiful to rival Alduin’s. 

‘Never thought I’d have regrets on not eating him.’ Elyden wanted to snort.

“I never thought I’d miss seeing this side of you that much.” The man whispered as he gently took Elyden’s hands and pressed a kiss against what remained of the palm. Flakes of stars and charred stone drifted off Elyden's aspect from the sudden movement.

very annoyed that my cursory research to determine whether I could make a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it design choice has turned up lots of new difficulties, such as the fact that english common names for the area’s lichen are really really cool (yellow candles! heather-rags! tree lungwort! crab’s-eye lichen! netted shield! golden-edged specklebelly! goblin lights!) but of course this is not a thing narrated by the guy who even cares that there are different kinds of lichen.

#today's art adventure #<- it's a writing thing but it counts #and the gaelic names for the same lichens are unfortunately Useful and To The Point and therefore Much Less Poetic #hm should I derail this fic entirely for a completely irrelevant digression in which We Learn About Lichen? #I have no clue if any of these were used as far back the eighteenth century but this is an extremely self-indulgent tam lin au as it is #heronposting

I haven’t posted a poem on tumblr in a really long time, but I really want to. So, before I lose my nerve—here’s a poem I wrote a little while ago that I quite like:

it’s 11:08 at night and I’m thinking about the woods again. Thinking about the patterns of the lichen on the trees.... dreaming...
