Several Sentence Sunday

Thanks for the tag, @tinyarmedtrex

As I am currently working on Thuiskomst, have a few sentences from that. (Thuiskomst is the next story in Kanej Wensen: Inej finally comes back to Ketterdam, and gets to reunite with Kaz.)

“I adore you,” she murmured along his jaw, heading back towards an ear. 

“Since when… aahhhh… are you so intrigued by my ears?”

“Since I learned it could make you make that noise.”

I see… He wondered if hers might be as sensitive, and lifted a section of her now loose hair to use it like a brush along the edge of her ear and her neck. 

Inej giggled into the crook of his neck, “Kaz!”

“Turnabout is fair play, my Wraith.”

“Since when do you play fair?”

“Point to Captain Ghafa,” he rumbled with amusement.

Inej huffed, and nibbled at his ear again.

(This may or may not have been inspired by real life things... ::grins::)

Soft tagging @kezzzx, @aphroditestummyrolls, and @reinanova if they wanna play!

As a writer, I've always wanted to write what I personally wanted to read.

While it is kinda therapeutic and exciting, it's also quite scary to think...

What if no one ever felt this way? Or maybe it won't have that much of an impact? What if readers cannot relate with it?

I mean fantasy genre is usually quite popular among tweens, teens, and YAs.

But what about actual adults?

Life is rough. Adults are the most stressed ones. Sometimes, I happen to stumble upon a good story and it takes my mind away from the icky realities for a while.

Writers, comics, authors, entertainers.

I guess a lot of artists opt for this sort of skill. The ability to transform people to a fabricated world with little hints of reality blend into.

Maybe, adults could use some dedicated fiction written exclusively for them. Something that doesn't have violent gore, or the fate of entire universe riding on one person.

I think there are scarier things in real life than worrying about being the quintessential chosen one. When I started my WIP, I went through the motions to settle at this conclusion.

No unhinged plot twists, no shock and awe, no crazy emotional plateaus. Just people being people. Having to make difficult choices. Faced with their inner demons more than the next apocalyptic monster.

As a writer, it's all I wish to accomplish. I hope it comes to fruition.

How about an F1-Supernatural mash-up AU about Charles' cursed quali pants? How about that? Isn't that a neat little idea?

Mayday 2023

Day Six- Prompt; Haunted

The air is still and quiet Yet I feel a presence near A ghostly figure in my sight But there is no sense of fear

She moves with grace and poise As if she’s dancing in a dream Her form is light and weightless A calming presence it would seem

Despite her ghostly nature I find myself at ease Her peaceful energy surrounds me Bringing comfort and relief

So though she haunts me nightly I welcome her with open arms For her ghostly presence soothes me And brings me a sense of calm

They say you die three times, first when the body dies, second, when your body enters the grave, and third, when your name is spoken for the last time. You were a normal person in life, but hundreds of years later, you still haven't had your "third" death. You decide to find out why.

[the-overanalyst]

it's always so fascinating and heartbreaking when a character in a story is simultaneously idolized and abused. a chosen prophet destined for martyrdom. a child prodigy forced to grow up too fast. a powerful warrior raised as nothing but a weapon. there's just something so uniquely messed up about singing someone's praises whilst destroying them.

reblog if you’ve read fanfictions that are more professional, better written than some actual novels. I’m trying to see something

i do unironically think the best artists of our generation are posting to get 20 notes and 3 reblogs btw. that fanfic with like 45 kudos is some of the best stuff ever written. those OCs you carry around have some of the richest backstories and worldbuilding someone has ever seen. please do not think that reaching only a few people when you post means your art isn't worth celebrating.

#i often wonder about how many things would be considered classic or high art had they only received the marketing #how many short films that were made for class could have been the most powerful thing you'd ever seen? if you'd seen them? #“you know the greatest films of all time were never made” etc etc #but like. these works of art ARE being made. it's just enjoyed by a smaller audience with equal impact though #i think about this one furry i used to follow on insta who had the coolest worldbuilding ever. it's been years. #thought prompted by that sketch of nimona from ten years ago that was just for a character design #posted to the creator's tumblr and now it's nominated for best animated feature film at the oscars #and by the genuine emotional reaction a fan comic made me feel. how much work had gone into it. how beautiful it was to me. #idk what to tag this but i hope whoever needs to hear it does #writing #writer #fandom #fandom culture #artist

Writers are crazy creatures.

They'd rather see people unhappy with their words leave than having to edit it.

Hey! Are there blacksmiths in your story? I'm a hobbyist blacksmith and I'm here to help!

Blacksmithing is one of those things that a lot of people get wrong because they don't realize it stuck around past the advent of the assembly line. Here's a list of some common misconceptions I see and what to do instead!

Not all blacksmiths are gigantic terrifying muscly guys with beards and deep voices. I am 5'8, skinny as a twig, have the muscle mass of wet bread, and exist on Tumblr. Anybody who is strong enough to pick up a hammer and understands fire safety can be a blacksmith.

You can make more than just swords with blacksmithing. Though swords are undeniably practical, they're not the only things that can be made. I've made candle holders, wall hooks, kebab skewers, fire pokers, and more. Look up things other people have made, it's really amazing what can be done.

"Red-hot" is actually not that hot by blacksmith terms. when heated up, the metal goes from black, to red, to orange, to yellow, to white. (for temperature reference, I got a second degree burn from picking up a piece of metal on black heat) The ideal color to work with the metal is yellow. White is not ideal at all, because the metal starts sparking and gets all weird and lumpy when it cools. (At no point in this process does the metal get even close to melting. It gets soft enough to work with, but I have never once seen metal become a liquid.)

Blacksmithing takes fucking forever. Not even taking into account starting the forge, selecting and preparing metal, etc. etc. it takes me around an hour to make one (1) fancy skewer. The metals blacksmiths work with heat up and cool down incredibly fast. When the forge is going good, it only takes like 20 seconds to get your metal hot enough to work with, but it takes about the same time for it to cool down, sometimes even less.

As long as you are careful, it is actually stupidly easy to not get hurt while blacksmithing. When I picked up this hobby I was like "okay, cool! I'm gonna make stuff, and I'm gonna end up in the hospital at some point!" Thus far, the latter has yet to occur. I've been doing this for nearly a year. I have earned myself a new scar from the aforementioned second degree burn, and one singe mark on my jeans. I don't even wear gloves half the time. Literally just eye protection, common sense, and fast reflexes and you'll probably be fine. (Accidents still happen of course, but I have found adequate safety weirdly easy to achieve with this hobby)

A forge is not a fire. The forge is the thing blacksmiths put their metal in to heat it up. It starts as a small fire, usually with newspaper or something else that's relatively small and burns easily, which we then put in the forge itself, which is sort of a fireplace-esque thing (there's a lot of different types of forge, look into it and try to figure out what sort of forge would make the most sense for the context you're writing about) and we cover it with coal, which then catches fire and heats up. The forge gets really hot, and sometimes really bright. Sometimes when I stare at the forge for too long it's like staring into the sun. The forge is also not a waterfall of lava, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Welding and blacksmithing are not the same thing. They often go hand-in-hand, but you cannot connected two pieces of metal with traditional blacksmithing alone. There is something called forge welding, where you heat your metal, sprinkle borax (or the in-universe equivalent) on it to prevent the metal from oxidizing/being non-weldable, and hammer the pieces together very quickly. Forge welding also sends sparks flying everywhere, and if you're working in a small space with other blacksmiths, you usually want to announce that you're welding before you do, so that everyone in a five-foot radius can get out of that five-foot radius. You also cannot just stuck some random pebbles into the forge and get a decent piece of metal that you can actually make something with, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Anvils are really fucking heavy. Nothing else to add here.

Making jewelry is not a blacksmithing thing unless you want jewelry made of steel. And it will be very ugly if you try. Blacksmithing wasn't invented to make small things.

If there's anything here I didn't mention, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Writing Prompt #79

For every good in the world, there must be an evil to maintain the balance of the universe. When a “bad guy” is no longer bad, another must take their place. You are a hero who helped your arch nemesis redeem themselves. As the former villain becomes a hero, you find yourself slipping into corruption.
