if I forgot your favorite subgenre or misclassified a band feel free to argue in the replies 👍

if you don‘t personally own one but your roommates/parents do and you are allowed to use it, that counts as yes

Sometimes I feel like a big chunk of my professional life is people asking me to step into a management position and me being like "😎💖 absolutely not 💖😎"

Do other writers ever get this like, hyper-specific dialogue exchange drop into their brains and you know exactly where these character are standing and what they’re doing and how they’re saying these words but that’s all you get. You don’t have much other context and this specific moment that exists only at this time in your headspace??

Tagging @rubywrite, @sarandipitywrites, @sam-glade and @sergeantnarwhalwrites if you'd like to do it, with an open tag for anyone else who wants to join in 💙

Reblogs, replies etc on my tag posts are always welcome, but if you're doing this tag yourself, please make your own post instead of using mine to start a reblog chain.

Push yourself to do the things that might take some extra time and discipline, but will help you grow in the long run. Journaling, cooking homemade meals, working out, stepping out of your comfort zone, confronting issues, completing tedious tasks. Self care isn’t always about providing comfort for yourself, it’s about doing the things you might not want to in the moment for the wellbeing of your future self.

Detroit doesn’t want a new man. He wants Vex, and maybe that’s the only answer he really needed. “Thanks for the advice,” he says, still a little perplexed by this whole ordeal, but he has come to expect no less from Devi.

“Mm. Anytime. It is what. I am here for. After all.” She tips a non-existent hat and attempts a wink that results in her eye twitching on a repetitive loop until she smacks it with her palm. “Will you be. Buying a metal detector? I have. Discount coupons.”

He wants to ask where she could possibly have a coupon for, but dismisses the question and says, “No, but I’ll let you know if I change my mind.”

Camp Nano Week 2 Update

Current WC: 12.522/31.000

Whelp, I didn't do a week 1 update but here we are.

This month started like every time I prepare to do something and hit me with half my colleagues getting sick in one week. Which in turn meant that I didn't get to write as much as I wanted to. Between that and the weather finally turning nice (listen, if you have a garden you probably know but that shit takes priority or you will drown), and one concert, I was a little behind.

Had time and space for a good writing day today though, and did ~6k today.

I'm hoping next week will calm down a little (... beside the two concerts ... listen, I am never going to apologize for going to shows), so I can continue. I'll certainly try.

Week 3 Update

Current WC: 22.131/31.000

I am exactly on target according to the Nano website. Much more importantly, I'm getting pretty far along. There's some scenes coming that need heavy rewrites though, as well as an entirely new chapter, so that'll slow things down I suppose. I don't think the 31k will get me to the end tbh. But I am in the final stretch, so that's cool.

Little Out of Context line to celebrate:

OC Smash or Pass Pt. 1

I've actually been tagged in this twice, once by @writernopal and once by @anyablackwood , so you'll get a two-for-one. And because I happen to be feeling some kinda way today, why don't we go with my favourite douchebag and his not-boyfriend for funsies?

Rules: pretty self explanatory. include physical descriptions or pics, and propaganda. the “other” label can be used for “sexuality misalignment” (ie: oc is femme and you’re gay, vice versa or you aren’t into smashing but a specific thing you wanna do with them like perhaps hug or study them under a microscope idc)

Gently tagging: @tabswrites, @winterandwords, @mjparkerwriting and leaving an open tag for who wants it!

A reminder that “male” armour usually works just as well with female bodies. If you’re trying to design something practical, useful and historical looking (or even just something the follows the laws of physics), never ever put in boob cups. Aside from the fact they give the armour a sort of “focus point” for swords, falling down on them would send the shock right into the sternum. Regular plate armour leaves enough space between the chest for small to medium sized boobs anyway. But say the girl underneath is a buxom lass, you can still avoid that cleavage, boob cup shape while leaving enough space for her melons.

But aside from plate, things like the top picture, chainmail and all sorts of leather armour are unisex. I know you might be thinking that the feminine thing to do when designing a female warrior is to show off a bit of thigh or neck or cleavage or something, but really, understand that if the goal of that armour is to protect completely, putting an obvious gap in it is a terrible idea and she’ll surely get stabbed very quickly.

And don’t feed me the “it’s magic, I don’t got to explain shit” line. Bollox. Magic armour and forcefields need to make some sense too. Show me something that LOOKS like it’s generating a barrier over the character instead of just saying “Oh the G-string of Invulnerability is just as good as wearing full plate anyway”. If that’s the case, everyone would wear it. And why can’t they just tie it around their belt? Make me believe that your magic armour and spells have logic to them. If not, please don’t play your world straight. I’m all for super stylised designs as long as they’re sold as such, but if you’re trying to make a world that feels real enough for people to believe and get immersed in, think this stuff out. If you’ve designed someone with sparse, gapped armour that shows skin, give your character a reason to wear it.
