Last Line Game

I was tagged by @shubaka to post the last line of my current WIP.

From the upcoming chapter of "A Silver Sky, A Golden Night":

“I love you,” Kim grumbled. Each word came as a warm puff of air that ruffled Chay’s curls and tickled the back of his neck. “And Khun is right. Our kind cannot lie, only try to maneuver our way around the truth.” “Ah, good to know.” “You never intend to let him win an argument, do you?” Khun tittered gleefully. Chay grinned right back and gave his brooding Faerie prince another kiss for good measure. “Not a single one.”

I'm tagging @shou-jpeg and @kimkhimhant as well as anyone who wants to share their wips with meeeeee.

wip wednesday

i was tagged by @coldshrugs and @lavampira ty both <33 i think mostly everyone's been tagged but feel free to tag me in your wips!! here's more emileo :o)

It might be the way Emile watches him, something soft but distant in his gaze. The hovering candlelight paints gold over the shadows of his face, and Leofard can't help but push his hair back from his forehead, fingertips lingering against his brow before they draw down along his cheek, freckles echoing beneath his touch in tiny constellations made of warmth and light.

"I like your nose," he murmurs absently, and he moves to touch the bump on his bridge, smiling at the way Emile's eyes crinkle in response.

"Why?" Emile asks. "'Tis crooked."

"Don't get modest on me now, hero," he returns. His hand traces lower, thumb brushing along his lower lip, and time slows as Emile parts his mouth, brown eyes now wide and fixed on him. Blood rushes through Leofard's ears, his voice breathless as he says, "I have impeccable taste."

#im just skldjfsd ?? okay ??? about them #this is kinda the point where it's like #is it normal to study your fwb's face like this?? we just don't know #also can't tell you how devastating it was for me to realize emile is a little self conscious about his nose ;-; #anyway #making tea and cookies now ty and goodbye #ffxiv #emile/leofard #wip wednesday

15 Lines of Dialogue

Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you’re free to include those as well!

Tysm for the tag @myreia !! I feel like everybody got tagged in this already so if you haven't and you see this, pls consider I tagged you!!

Cleaning some of these so it's only the dialogue but it isn't purely Thesa bc she talks so little. I always have to go back on my fics to edit bc @ myself "she wouldn't say all that!!" so I'm giving a bit of context with who the scene is.

w/ estinien

“Alphinaud would find a way so he could keep traveling with you and Alisaie would pretend she didn't want anything with it but would still join right after him.” “Sounds like someone I know.”

2. w/ ardbert.

“I'm not the one you have to lie to, you know that, right? You can tell me you're tired of this. There's nothing for me to do — and I wouldn't, either way.” “What would change?” “You'd be honest with yourself for a change.”

3. talking about zenos.

“We are not so different, him and I. It's why I pity him, and I don't like it one bit. All this is because we're just too much alike and-”

4. w/ thancred.

“Considering you haven't called me in yet... should I leave you be?” “Just trying to make sense of my thoughts, so don’t. There's no need.”

5. w/ haurchefant.

“I can not stay. Alphinaud is alone and waiting for me. I need-” “To rest, for now.” “But I am good enough.” “Don't lie. I was the last to know about what you're going through, so please, don't lie to me anymore.”

6. w/ thancred.

“The exarch knows?”  “His doing, I'm afraid. Haven't gained any magicks, if you wondered.” “It was never necessary. Now, a lead, if you please.”

7. w/ hythlodaeus, about emet.

“... it's the matter at hand that gives him a tendency to be intense. If it unsettles you, I could ask him-” “No. It doesn't bother me,” I'm used to it.

8. w/ thancred.

“You did seem off when I arrived. I would like to hear about it sometime later. What happened in the few seconds you were alone here tonight and there, on the moon.” “I would like that too.”

9. w/ twins and estinien.

“I still don't want trouble with your father, so wait me back at the Annex? I will bring the food this time.” “If we are talking about free food, then I'll linger for a moment longer.” “And what if I don't bring you any?” “I'll get Alphinaud's part. You wouldn't want that, would you?”

10. w/ thancred.

“Your reaction... what was that?” “I fear I may have overstepped our-” “It's ours, you have nothing to overstep. Besides, I would tell you if you did.”

11. w/ the twins.

“The forest didn't felt like home, and I couldn't stand people thinking it still did. So, I went looking for a new meaning for the word- I guess I found what I was looking for.”

12. w/ haurchefant.

“I can fill you in first.” “Is that what you want?” “It is what you want.”

13. w/ estinien.

“It's relieving. Having you back.” “I could say the same about having you.” “I never left, why-” “You did, but not today.”

14. w/ emet, about ardbert,

“But of course, we are on the First. So that would explain him — which leaves me to wonder: won't you tell the Exarch and your Scions about that friend of yours?” “That doesn't concern them. Specifically, not you either.”

15. w/ thancred, about ryne.

“It has to be enough because now you do not have time to overthink, just to show the girl that you're strong enough and that she's safe here with you.”

#orange is her btw!! #also anna consider this the wip game as well bc WELL GUESS WHAT.... NOTHING NEW FROM ME. #I miss writing........... seeing some of these...... cry. #also I know ppl don't take the 'if you see this I tag you' thing but I truly mean it #if i follow you know i'm always here for your writing and I need to read everything you write so if you want to do this tag game I DID tag #anyway. she doesn't speak much so this was kinda hard. #everything about her is 80% on her actions or her own head you know #but i think i got this. some of those are very telling ig. so yeah. that's it ig. #wol posting #my writing #ffxiv

[bootlegfrank]

[gingerbreadmonsters]

what i am simply going to do is take my own fucking advice

#my single greatest writing mantra is 'just fucking spit it out' #genuinely just say what you mean and worry about the rest later #what is the scene in your head? ok then tell me literally what you can see and we'll go from there #the hell wip is in its final death throes and trying desperately to kick me off its back in the process #and i have hit a wall re: how i want it to actually finish #so we are going to do what? JUST FUCKING SPIT IT OUT #IM SAYING WHAT I SEE BABEY

Open WBW Question

It's Wednesday, so you know what that means friends! I am completely unaware of the day until I am about to go to sleep and stop in a panic to remember to post this

That's right, another open question about your worldbuilding for any and all to answer!

This week, lets talk transportation!

What are the different types of transportation in your setting, do people mostly walk, ride animals, have vehicles, teleporters, etc? What do they use tor short distances? For long distances? What are the different ways of traveling through certain terrains/spaces/etc?

Whats the fastest? Whats the most common?

Are there means of public transportation? Is it mostly individually owned stuff?

Which ones are the cheapest? Most expensive? Are there divisions within the same ones based off what people can afford? (Like first class on a plane, or even like fancy cars)

Weekly Questions Tag List: @concealeddarkness13 @maple-writes (Let me know if you want to be added or removed!)

#wbw #hello writeblr #i come to humbly ask for more information on your wips #anyone can answer yes even you reading this #if this involves animals please tell me about the animals #if its cool tech please ramble #if its magic i wanna know!

MERRY christmas i fucking GUESS. if anyone ever cared for good intentions turns out it needed a prequel

#writeblr #original writing #writers on tumblr #hester tiamaret #good intentions #no good deed #< the prequel title. as it turns out my dreams of having a wip titled after the saying ‘the road to hell is paved with good intentions’ #and a sister wip called ‘no good deed goes unpunished’ #has come to fruition. just in the reverse order #anyway! do doors have joints. does a paragraph need this many dashes. did i think it was a smart idea to post this 7 minutes before #christmas was over. get in the comments with your replies #all this to say im still kickin im still writing ask me stuff tell me about life let me pretend im active #and let me pretend this paragraph doesn’t blow a little #she writes #this isn’t a christmas excerpt but since it was posted ON christmas it counts. to me

[butchdonne]

WIP Weekend

Tagged by @lucien-lachance

Not tagging since the weekend is almost over, whoops!

Have a bit of the end of Apocalypse, because I cannot write things in order to save my life:

In the background there was more shouting for order and directions for the frightened refugees to follow. He thought he heard Stef among them, faintly, and filed the thought away in case he needed backup soon. What he focused on was the sight in the distance before him - a familiar figure on the ground with a boot on his chest, a glowing blade held to his throat. Teeth clenching, Ludis forced himself to run faster, doing some quick mental calculations to try and figure out where the furthest point he could warp in from was. The figure menacing his friend - large and imposing in a long red coat, but otherwise human shaped and sized - turned at the sound of the chaos, almost as if the sudden wailing of a nearby infant had physically grabbed their face and turned it towards the people around it. Bright crimson eyes swept past Ludis for a moment, and he nearly stumbled under the force of that gaze. It had almost felt like a physical blow - but only a glancing one, and Ludis refused to let Victor get hurt just because something happened to be good at intimidation. The creature - it couldn’t be a mortal man, not with a gaze like that, not to be able to beat Victor - abruptly stepped away, the sword fading from existence. Victor rose swiftly, half-stumbling to his feet - he was standing in such a way to favor his left leg, the EMT part of Ludis’ mind noted. Victor was a Belmont and would be able to compensate for anything that didn’t outright cripple him, but Ludis still adjusted his course so he would come up on Victor’s left, to cover his weak side.

#frankly the fact that no one reacted to drac and victor dropping in from the ceiling and drac having a SWORD AT VICTOR'S THROAT is bullshit #like. the world is ending. this guy is your big hope. and someone's about to fucking slit his throat #and you're telling me people are just like “a'ight this might as well be happening tonight”??? like come on #wip wednesday #writing type things

[honestlyvan]

As the pendulum is swinging back to “stop shaming people for leaving likes”, I am going to go on record to say I don’t like like because they’re a purely “number go up” metric that most people do not treat with the kind of thoughtful affection people who talk about leaving “little kisses for the people they follow” treat them as. I feel this exact same way about kudos in that mindless interaction from a potential audience is a real “good for you” kind of situation that simply does fuck all for me.

And before someone can call this grind culture brainrot, I also feel this way about reblogs without commentary. Good for you. I'm glad I was a good dancing monkey, enough for you to go “hey [people following me], lookadis guy”, even if you’re not gonna actually tell me that. We can talk about our choices for engaging with things and people on this site all we want, but intent isn’t magic, and I’m gonna reserve the right to complain about how that treatment feels regardless.

#van stuff #Anyway you as an individual are allowed to use this site however you want obviously #I'm just asserting that my memory is longer than six months #The reason people STARTED complaining about this was because people were saying shit like 'why are your likes hidden' #and treating 'liking' as the 'passive sharing' that reblogging without commentary used to be #Tumblr has historically had GARBAGE passive boosting options as the 'For You' tab is a fresh invention that barely fucking works #and new users were actively deluding themselves into thinking likes *were* engagement and demanding people show their likes to others #to make the user experience of this site more like the sites they came from #and most people who have been on this site for long enough know that any post with a huge note count #is gonna have a significant amount of threads calling it Fucking Stupid #and people adding likes to that post based on the commentary #Like... many of us actively have 'don't reblog shitty posts no matter how insightful the comments are' policies #BECAUSE boosting the notes of a shitty post is Bad For Discourse #me? a bitter former LJ user who never got over not having comments? Yes. #Am I AWARE that expecting the kind of interaction I enjoy is completely pointless? Also yes #but I'm still just not gonna say nothing as the pendulum swings back to hit me in ther face y'know? #EVENTUALLY it will have to come to a stop -- I just don't want it to come to a stop on 'less conversation happening continually' #also I need to remind myself to go tell wip that I want threaded comments on Tumblr #even Tiktok has them. They would be an incredible boon

[thislittlekumquat]

Me, after finishing my March goal of 75k words of my story, and hitting a nice spot to blindly send the newest part to my current readers and take a small break: my mind is vibrating but churning I have nothing to say after the dialogue I just typed it had a nice weighty chapter end finality to it

Me, the next morning: actually,

#im like #not entirely sure that what im writing isn't total shit BUT its getting on the page and i am going to write a completely new draft 2 #so who cares #anyways if anyone wants to alpha read for me and promises to be very kind to my completely unfiltered gay witches historical fantasy wip #i can send you the docs #i have no current plans to shop this around for publication but i cant stop thinking about Them so now I want to force Them on my friends #LOOK AT MY BLORBOS AND SUFFER WITH ME PLEASE #highly recommend pursuing your interests after 25 years of telling yourself you're not really an X because actually as it turns out #you are and you're pretty decent at it #and its too fun to not do it even if you sucked at it #anyways back to it
