The Weight of Yesterday [DEMO TBA] [CW LIST]

TWOY is an upcoming IF intended for 18+ players and older.

[...] and so, let the weight of yesterday be a reminder to cherish every moment and to hold onto the beauty of today, for tomorrow is but a fleeting dream that may never come to pass. And so, attempt to hold onto the beauty of the memories you've lost, cherish them like precious gems in the recesses of your heart.

You are confined to a cell, and you've been there for centuries. The walls of this prison are the only constant you know, a steady reminder of everything you don't. What you do know is that you were -are-considered a monster, a terror of unimaginable power, and the world trembled in fear at your very name: Belva. But why? What heinous deeds did you commit to warrant such a punishment? And why can't you remember them?

No one will tell you, and most of your memories are lost to the mists of time. But amidst the complexity and confusion of your past, glimpses of fond memories flicker in your mind, filling you with hope and yearning for what might have been. Some nights you're haunted, or blessed, by vague recollections that you can't trust, wondering if they're memories or nothing more than fever dreams.

The past is a shadow that never fades, a constant companion on the journey of life. It clings to you like a heavy cloak, reminding you of the choices you've made and the things you've lost.

As you strive to shape your future, the burden of your past will always be present, weighing you down like an anchor, even as you try to chart a new course for your future. Can you find the strength to confront the ghosts of yesterday and set yourself free?

Synopsis

In TWOY, you take on the role of Belva, a powerful demon god who has been trapped for centuries, with no memory of why. As you'll get released from prison and confined in exile to the celestial city of Divumia, you'll meet a wide cast of characters -including potential love interests and acquaintances from your past- and make decisions that will determine your future and your journey within the city. Will you be driven by the desire for redemption, the longing to return to what once was, or even the thirst for truth and the memories that come with it? Regardless, it won't be easy, not when the Celestial Council is determined to hinder you. Do you think you can overcome the odds and reach your goals? Find out in The Weight of Yesterday !!!

Belva, you: As Belva, you are a mystery even to yourself. Your past is shrouded in secrecy, locked away in a part of your mind that refuses to yield its secrets. You have glimpses of memories that flicker in and out of your consciousness like fireflies in the night, but they are disjointed, incomplete.

[RO] The Loyal Hand, Nita (M/F): Nita has been with you since you were little. You’ve seen each other in your worst and most embarrassing moments, but you’re still only acquaintances. 

[RO] The Stranger From Your Past, Dorian/Delilah (M/F): Some of your memories/dreams include them. You know you have some kind of past together, but you’ve no idea who this person really is. 

[RO] The Human, Kiello/Keta (M/F): A human who lives in the city of Divumia and surprisingly controls a big part of the city. You may need their help, but can you really trust them? Could your past actions, or your current attitude towards humanity hinder your relationship, or will one of you manage to change the other?

[RO] The Watcher, Samu/Selena (M/F): You’ve heard whispers from fellow prisoners about watchers. You don't know this yet, but you'll have your own after your release from prison and consequent exile in Divumia. Will you be able to get behind their stoic barrier and discover the warm and caring person within? Or will their enigmatic nature keep you at bay, forever wondering what lies beneath their watchful gaze? [intro post here]

[RO] ?

The Bessa (M): Your father, and the current Lord of your home domain. He was the one who sent you on Earth in the first place, why? Did he ask you to commit those awful acts? Or is that just what you hope?

WIP INTRO: 𝙇𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨

“You’re the best damn friend I ever had.”

Genre(s): Slice of Life, Romance, LGBTQ+, Coming of Age

Status: First Draft, started November 24th, 2022

Target: ~90k words

Progress as of 9/17/23: 52k words

Warnings: Sex, explicit language, angst

Synopsis: In the bustling, people-filled city of Tokyo, Kasai Ryoji leads a quiet, solitary life, keeping his emotions hidden behind a stone-cold exterior. However, his world is turned on its axis when he is paired with a new roommate—Sato Kaiyo, a beam of positivity and cheerfulness, always brimming with enthusiasm and optimism. Slowly but surely, the walls around Ryoji's heart begin to crumble, allowing Kaiyo to enter his world and show him life from a completely different perspective: life through the eyes of someone who refuses to let darkness cloud their view.

Notes: This is my main wip, and it’s pretty different from what I usually write—I try to stray away from slice-of-life romance stories, but when I first came up with this idea, I was really passionate about it and decided to go through with the story on an impulse. So if it’s not good, or seems rushed at times, well damn 😐 I don’t know what to say besides that. But if you’re interested in going on this ride with me, then I hope you like it!!

send a message if you’re interested and want to hear more :)

Writeblr ask-a-thon! (I got inspired by Athena)

What's the best piece of dialogue you've ever written in your own personal opinion? Share the snippet? And I'd love to hear the context if you're willing to share that too!

Great question!

I don't really know what the best piece of dialogue I've ever written is, but there's quite a few good back-and-forths (imo) that I can think of.

A lot of them are between the main character from Zenith, Cuán Dunleavy, and a side character - Susie Shiori. The two of them get on like a house on fire, and have a very turbulent friendship that's pretty much composed of just bluntly calling the other out on their bullshit. It's a super fun dynamic to write!

Here's an excerpt of an 'argument' between the two of them (kind of), taking place mid-way through Act 1 (under the cut <3):

“No, Rusty! No! Stop- stop lying to me. To us. To yourself. This isn’t about Kamau, it’s about you. You and your inability to fucking cope,” she was whispering now, in that harsh way people do when they wanted to shout but were all too aware of who might be listening. Cuán admired her resolve, smiling indelicately, cheeks stretching spitefully with every word that left her pretty little mouth. “You don’t know a thing about me,” he said, purposefully drawing out his words. She grit her teeth, swallowing back the inevitable slur about to leave her throat. “I know everything about you. There’s nobody working for Sutton who doesn’t. You’re not as slick as you think. Everyone knows you’re a deranged fucking lunatic, and everyone knows about your kink for doing your job right. And you know what I think, Cuán? I think you get your rocks off protecting your little master because you enjoy the power. You enjoy hurting people. You enjoy being the only thing in the world Kamau has to lean on.”

Context for this is that Cuán works for Kamau as a sort of security/bodyguard figure, and they have a super unhealthy, codependent relationship going on. A massive plot device has just occurred at this point in the story and Su is trying to get Cuán to pull his head out of his ass.

11, 17, + 29!

hello hello lex!! thanks so much!!

11: What work took you the longest to write? love is like ghosts, for sure!! i had that thing as a wip from the start of october, and picked at off and on for the whole month (and moved across the country but we don't need to talk about that), then basically spent a week or 2 before thanksgiving putting every spare minute i had into writing it

17: Your favorite character to write this year? answered here, but for bonus little sneak peek from my main wip, writing drunk robin is super fun and everyone should try it sometime

Steve turns his head to look at her and gets a mouthful of hair for his trouble. He nudges her head with his shoulder. “Robs? Robin? Did you OD back there?” “Not yet, captain,” she mumbles, building to a shout, “ready to… set sail!”

29: Favorite line/passage you wrote this year? answered here, but i'm going to pick another from love is like ghosts again because i was laughing as i wrote this:

Eddie, though, can never stay quiet for long. “Hey ghosts! Why don’t you come out and torment my little friend over here?“ “I’m an inch taller than you, asshole,” Steve interrupts. “Keep telling yourself that babe, it’s all hair,” Eddie snarks back [...] “C’mon, who wouldn’t want to wreck these choir boy good looks?” Eddie says, looking Steve up and down. He seems to get lost in his own thoughts for a moment, just staring at Steve. Until Steve clears his throat with a loud cough, and Eddie jerks his head back up, his eyes slightly dazed. “Hmm?”

Want simple tips to heavily improve your skills with character voice??

(📝Note: character voice is the way you convey your character's personality though their pov or dialogue when you write. No two characters speak the same📝)

I speak from experience when I say character voice is hard to get right. Characters, like people, have lots of layers that affect the way they see the world around them and how they interact with other characters. That's why character voice is so important in stories, and why if you write it in a compelling and effective way it will hook people into your story. I hope you learn something new in this post!!

When writing character voice, there's a list of things that you should take into account:

Where are they from? Their past and what they've lived plays a huge part in character voice. Maybe your character grew by the ocean, and so they compare things from the present to the beach, the rocks or the sea itself. You will rarely read about a sailor that is an expert in pants and compares scents to flowers. They might, instead, talk about how a house smells like the wet wood of a ship.

Think about how their personality shapes their language. If they are insecure, they might end most of their sentences with "isn't it?" or "right?" and ask a lot of questions, whereas if you have a confident character, you might find them saying things like "we should do this" or "that will be fun" instead.

What their "lense" is. This is more of an ethic aspect of the character. What have they learn it's okay, and what do they find uncomfortable? Would they find it gross if their friend left laundry on the floor?

Give them special traits (both for dialogue and narration). Maybe character A quotes a lot when they narrate and uses long paragraphs, or maybe B speaks about their past a lot and uses popular sayings. Personally, one character of mine has the tendency to repeat himself when he speaks, as in "yeah, yeah, I'll do it" or "no, no, no. Never" because he is really enthusiastic, and it fits really well with his character.

Pay attention to how they would talk about themselves. Maybe your character doesn't like people to know they're sad because it makes them feel vulnerable, so they will just say they feel annoyed or don't want to talk in that moment. This also means that they will not tell the reader something they are not comfortable saying in the first place.

How is their education? Education is also very important in this context. Did they went to university and have a rich vocabulary and structured sentences, or where they rised in a little farm far from town? You can also play with both a bit: maybe your character did go to university, but maybe they also came from a low income family, and characteristic of both things merge when they talk. Example: long, structured, sentences but a simple and sight forward vocabulary.

That's all for now and happy writing!!

"Let all that you do be done in love."

Name: Samu/Selena

Date of birth: September the 15th, 1600

Known Aliases: watcher, handler

Species: Watcher, Homo Observans

Physical appearance:

Height: 1.62 m / 5'3 in their human form, 2.23 m / 7'3" in their Watcher form.

Human form: Despite their unimposing height, they exude a strong sense of authority and power. Perhaps it is their impeccable posture or their toned muscles that give them such air of command. Their hair is a deep, rich brown that falls in loose waves around their face, and is styled in a wolf-cut, framing their striking features and covering most of their forehead. Their tanned skin perfectly complements their luscious brown hair that reaches down to their shoulders.Their hazel eyes are often fixed in a serious or bored expression, but upon closer inspection, one could discover an unexpected depth of kindness.

Watcher form: They bear a striking resemblance to angels, with their brown hair now resembling pure gold, radiating and reflecting light that seems to emanate from within them. Though they possess human features, one glance at them confirms their celestial nature, with their blinding light. Their most remarkable feature are their feathered wings, which shimmer like a white sand beach or freshly fallen snow, reflecting light in all directions. When fully extended, their wingspan reaches nearly double their height, and their intricate patterns resemble those of butterflies, with large, eye-like circles that seem to possess their own consciousness. It is difficult for humans to gaze upon them due to their radiance, but it is even more challenging to resist the allure of their eyes. Their once-hazel eyes now blaze with a fiery, all-knowing amber glow, capable of captivating anyone who looks into them.

Personality:

They come off as stoic and emotionless to those who don't know them, but those who get closer will find a kind and somewhat awkward individual who really just values their duties and is afraid of getting hurt.

Despite their somewhat shy attitude, they often wear form-fitting clothes. Their wardrobe is a mix of active wear and overly elegant clothes, such as compression turtlenecks, polos, and sleek suits or flowing dresses.

Hot Ghouls in your area ch 3 progress

(500wordish)

Un-fucking-believable that some guy named Danny was the ghost king of this iconic goth horror castle, and yet he had to believe it was the truth. Jason freely gawked at the architecture as they made their way into the main hall. They entered at an upper level and immediately began to work their way down.

Jason privately related the space to where musicians would have been playing in an actual historical castle. Were there ghost musicians? Could he hear the greatest pop hits of 1482? Did anyone have a hurdy-gurdy?

Jason cleared his throat. Danny glanced back at the slight sound.

…Now that the guy was looking at him, it seemed like a bit of an insensitive question. He managed to pull back to less assholish phrasing at least. “Do you know any ghost musicians?”

His original question was gonna be “do ghosts have music?” Wow. Jason chided himself. Might as well ask ‘hey do your people have culture?’

Of course the answer was a nod. “Yeah, I know one.” Danny snorted and floated a little higher. “She's terrible, man, nightmare of a person.”

“...But the music is good?” Jason ventured.

Danny scoffed. “It's derivative,” he said fearlessly.

Jason looked up and around for any roaming creatives who might get offended. None of them descended. “... Castle is empty, then?” He asked. Casually. Like a guy who wasn't marking every potential exit away from the guy he'd been…

‘Was I human trafficked?’ Jason blinked. Holy shit. ‘Sure, Danny doesn't seem to want me, but that's literally what those cultists were doing… They gifted me to him last minute. Like a mall candle.’

Wild. He made a mental mark for his Bat trauma bingo sheet. He wasn't sure if they had a square for that, but exchanges for comparable trauma were sometimes negotiable.

It belatedly occurred to him that he was offended. “This is a dumb situation to be in by accident,” Jason said aloud. He huffed and folded his arms. “Those nerds didn't even pick me, you know? It's not that I was the super special perfect victim, I was just the guy who knocked on the door.”

He felt more aggrieved by the end. Where was the drama? The respect? The class, even. Hadn't he razzle dazzled enough to be specifically targeted by the criminal underbelly?

Danny put a cold hand on his shoulder. “I'm sorry, you deserve someone to recognize your unique potential as a victim,” he empathized. “You're not just some interchangeable sacrifice.”

Jason shook him off. “No touchy,” he warned. He lifted a finger in threat. Belatedly he remembered how unbothered Danny had been by his guns. Shit. He put the finger down. “I’ve got a big personal space bubble,” he said lamely. No threats. He couldn't back ‘em up here.

Hey guys! Long time no see! I get questions regularly about whether or not Raindrops is going to continue, and the answer is of course! As long as I'm still functioning this comic will go on, even if it takes a while.

My usual workflow is that I write a script, then draw all the thumbnails of the chapter, and then start doing page sketches. (I am currently in this stage) I tend to want to draw all of the pages before I ever start inking/toning and then post. And because I also work and get distracted by life it takes a while so I'm very grateful for those who stick around.

Currently, for those who are interested, all WIP updates for Raindrops is being posted on my Patreon. Here is an example of a WIP sketch that I have posted of the current cover! Patrons got to vote on various concepts I had in mind.

I try to post page sketches at least once a month, though no dialogue has been revealed as to not spoil it for everyone yet. But it's fun to see the patrons guess what is happening. That is all to say, yes, Raindrops is still happening. I haven't forgotten about it, and thumbnail count currently sits at about 56 pages for this first part of Chapter 9.

Moreover, Caesar was not satisfied to be over­looked at first by Sulla, who was busy with a multitude of proscriptions, but he came before the people as candidate for the priesthood, although he was not yet much more than a stripling. To this candidacy Sulla secretly opposed himself, and took measures to make Caesar fail in it, and when he was deliberating about putting him to death and some said there was no reason for killing a mere boy like him
