Blog Update

(Pinned Post - Please Scroll For Content)

Hey all! I'm Harley, or Sketch works too.

I'm bisexual (somewhat questioning), taken, a minor, and use they/them pronouns

I can make a writing tag list if you guys want? Don't have one right now though.

Future writing will be under the tag "harley writes"

Reblogs will be under "harley reblogs"

General posts will be under "harley talks"

My blog has been very disorganized up until now but I'm hoping to fix that.

Send me prompts, and maybe I'll answer them! I'll also reblog ask games sometimes that I'll take requests for.

No current project because school is busy, but I write one shots sometimes.

Hope you enjoy my blog.

No Content November

  • What is No Content November?

No content November is an invite to all creators that share their work on social media for free. The proposal is a month of no content at all (except paid content, like Patreon, Commissions, etc.)

  • What is the goal?

To show how much creators work everyday and how internet would look without all of what we do for free, and a lot of people take for granted. No at. No witting. No videos. Nothing.

  • How do I participate?

During the month of November, don’t share on social media any sot of work that isn’t paid.

If you are not a creator and want to participate, show your support to your favorite creators by sharing and rebloging their work!

+++ This is not a movement trying to guilt trip anyone, it’s a genuine problem million of creators face everyday, and sometimes actions speak louder than posts calling your followers to please share the work they decided to followed you for.

Our work can’t reach far if it isn’t with your help. A lot of people can’t support the content creators with money, because it’s hard, but there are other ways of show your support.

I’m not the first to say it, and I probably won’t be the last, but sharing, rebloging, sending nice comments, showing you enjoy the content, that is more helpful an valuable than you can imagine.

With reblogs you help us reach new people and you inspire us to create more content than before!

Thank you for your attention, and hopefully we can make the internet a friendlier space for content creators!

I know I don’t post often, but I will be making exactly *one* post to my socials during November, being an animatic I had to do for English coming Monday. Beyond that, don’t expect me to pop up on Tumblr, YouTube, Insta, or TikTok. See you all when November ends!

Hidden in the Shadows

They called me out to the fire-ridden field

A land of white and flame and snow

And told me to fight for he I didn't know

Until his soul was finally healed

A world of experts made me a fool

But still I never should've trusted their words

The opportunity gone like wing-flaps of birds

I don't wish to be their tool

Hidden in shadows, I shall remain

Until the time to finally strike comes

Until he's gone and his power succumbs

They haven't known yet true pain

He had been messy, a fool in his game

But I will fight with my own style

Sure, it may take quite a while

But I'll win unlike he did all the same

I know every move, my power is greater

You will lose this forsaken fight

Hidden in shadows, away from the light

Anyone could've been the traitor

Learn well, heroes, I shall prevail

And perhaps I'll win, and then you'll see

You never should've forsaken me

I will end this sorry tale

...

You call yourself the ruler of all

But I am not so easily fooled

You thought it was I who you ruled

But now this game will be your fall

You can't stop my masterful attack

And this game you started, I will win

Even if I become the story's villain

Hidden in shadows, I'll put the pieces back

Words to replace said, except this actually helps

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

Blood on my Name

My goal, a simple endeavor

Yet one not many would partake.

Peace across my hate-torn world

To fix it before more it can break.

Daughter dearest, son of mine,

They shall rule when I cannot.

They will take this path so fine,

And they shall continue the master plot.

And yet, he protests it with his claim

That I'm the monster they should fight.

Who cares if I have blood on my name?

I know my goal is the one that's right.

Twice forsaken, once forgotten,

Once a killer, thrice a fool.

I shall not remain downtrodden,

For now I am the one who will rule.

Oh Gods above, hear my plea,

Let the world be fixed tonight.

For when the sun shines black, you see,

It will be the end of my fight.

Forsaken again, but it matters not.

The ending will always be the same.

Peace will come when their free will rots.

And I'll succeed, even with blood on my name.

They shout and scream and struggle and cry,

But they don't see the truth hidden.

To all of time, they had been blind,

And now the course of life shall be rewritten.

With no free will, peace can reign.

With no free will, we're all the same.

With no free will, there's no more pain.

They don't have to know of the blood on my name.

As long as they see me as in the right,

And the past shall remain concealed.

I control the new world tonight...

...Right?

...

We Meet At Midnight

They say there's a world,

Just north of the east;

They say it brings suffering

And magic likes it least.

They say, to this world,

Three parties will lurk,

None knowing of the other,

Hoping plans will work.

Connected by somebody

Who lost nobody's fight,

They say this to their own:

"We meet at midnight."

...

The first were her friends,

Who first knew she was lost.

Determined to get her back,

No matter the cost.

A King, Hope, Despair,

Two twins lost to time,

A queen, god-turned-man,

Commit the perfect crime.

The heroes they denounced

Would never have to know

If they made this journey quick,

So at midnight, they shall go.

...

The second, sister not by blood.

Her fear described not.

And so, with the help of a prince,

She made her master plot.

With magic at her fingertips,

And wrath with her, at her side,

She still felt a fear within her,

It could not be shaken if she tried.

But even fear could not stop her

From saving her friend,

So at midnight, she would go,

Not stopping 'til the end.

...

The third, had no connection.

He didn't know her name,

He barely knew her face,

But wished to help all the same.

With a blade within his hands,

And a loyal friend at his side,

He vowed to break her out

As he'd done so many times.

So when the day was young,

And the clock chimed for midnight,

Onward he would go,

To fight nobody's fight.

...

The meeting of three,

Who knew no one prior

Allowed them all to succeed

And make it somewhere higher.

She who lost the fight

Was saved before the sun,

And the world with magic's hate

Had once again not won.

But this is not the end;

There's always another fight.

And when that time comes, they say:

"We meet at midnight."

The Devil's Music

O Devil, hear the music rise

The one of which you've been smitten

O Devil, fear their infernal cries

In which your fall has been written

O Sinner, the climax is coming soon

But first, the eternity's rest

O Sinner, you lead this sorry tune

Of which is your final test

O Monarch, here lies the end of your war

So pick well your words that you say

O Monarch, the pen is mightier than the sword

But the pen declares war today

O Prideful, your heart acts after your head

And pleads as the melody soars

O Prideful, she is not one to dread

So listen to what she implores

O Avariced, as your part fades away

Know that they still shall rise

O Avariced, please know what they say

That one day, the sun again shall rise

O Envious, you lost that you hold dear

But never shall it be forgotten

O Envious, be strong despite the fear

And fight against he who's so rotten

O Wrathful, be warned at magic's cost

The Devil's song is not easily swayed

O Wrathful, bring back one who is lost

So they may see the light of day

O Lustful, your mercy is soon to die

As the song strikes the minor chord

O Lustful, it's a fate you had to find

Do not feel regret for actions not yours

O Voracious, your gift may go unsung

But your assistance is important yet

O Voracious, the night is still young

Even if it is you they forget

O Restful, the burden you carry

Is greater than those you surround

O Restful, the fall of your adversary

Shall echo that beautiful sound

O Children, heed the warning of stars

And carry the melody bright

O Children, the sun shall be ours

And we shall escape eternal night

O Devil, hear the music rise

The song that once you did write

O Devil, the music, still it flies

But the sound is no longer yours tonight

Golden Decay

Eyes watched like the hawks in the heavens

But she did not think to stop

Because her destiny ahead beckons

Seven seconds

That's the amount of time

From the moment she uttered the name

For her to be little more than the blind man's warning

Everyone has their stone-set limits

But she did not think to wait til morning

Because she didn't want what it solicits

Forty-two minutes

That's the amount of time

From the moment she took off

That it took her to reach the end of her fate

A golden decay that glittered like tears

But she did not think to hesitate

Because hesitation meant she had fears

Eighteen years

That is the amount of time

From the moment she was brought to life

That she spent wishing to defy it's unbreakable will

Life and destiny never like to give up

But she did not think to feel the chill

Because it would mean ignoring apeirophilia

Many millenia

That is the amount of time

From the moment of my creation

That I have lingered with my name for no one to say

Lost to a pair and lost to many minds

But I do not care for the mind's golden decay

Because it is me they wish to find

All of time

That is the amount of time

From the moment my name left their lips

That I have been waiting to return to the world I left

I have been stopped time and again

But no longer will I be so bereft

For soon they shall finally know my name

Never again will I be stopped by the golden mind's decay

Better Than This

The strike of a match

Meets the dying flame

She crumbles to ash

And calls out her name

But stopped not is fate

By the match being struck

As time does not wait

For a stroke of pure luck

She's told nothing changes

That you can't fix the past

But she's better than this

And she won't let them last

...

Her eyes never truly open

And she never truly sees

How much has been broken

In her longing for peace

The flame would be killed

As she opened her eyes

To see past the instilled

To see through the disguise

She's told not to take risks

That this is her fate

That she's better than this

She's knows better than hate

...

Two girls finally realize

Connected by blood

They open their eyes

And prepare for the flood

One spoke but didn't know

One knew but didn't speak

But the truth now could show

When the sun hit its peak

So now the clock ticks

And the sun turns to black

They're better than this

And now they're fighting back

Made of Stardust

You are made from stardust.

Is that all they say you are?

Whispering words of wisdom

Washed western by the wind.

Roaming 'round the land

To remind of what is lost.

A legend, a tale, a fable;

A story long forgotten.

Eighteen lifetimes lived

Only to be taken by the queen.

So soon from me, too soon-

Now the darkness settles every day.

You who held the darkness back:

Fragility lingered in your heart.

The roses broken by your fall,

Yet still you could not stay.

They say legends never die,

But weren't you the bravest of all?

So now I hold you close to me;

I cannot let you die in vain.

I am made of stardust.

Is that all I now am?

Finishing the job you started,

Just to end your killer's twisted reign?

We are made of stardust.

That's what we were meant to be.

And though you were the brightest,

Every star shall fade away.

We are made of stardust.

And that is all they say.

The first thing you registered when you came to, was the feeling of feathers brushing gently against your skin and warmth surrounding you on all sides. For several dazed seconds, you simply relished in the comforting sensations, before your sense of hearing finally started to come back to you, the sounds of screams and fighting filtering in and destroying the illusion of peace.

Heart pounding as you were harshly forced back into full awareness, you finally registered the fact that you were being held tightly in someones arms, the soft feathers that’d had you so mesmerised moments before, apparently belonging to the large wings that had wrapped themselves around you protectively, sheltering you from whatever was causing such havoc. 

No matter how desperately you tried, you couldn’t remember how you had ended up in this situation, your entire body aching and weak in your protectors arms, though strangely there were no actual wounds to be found. As you blearily lifted your head, meeting the concerned gaze of the one that held you, you felt an instant rush of familiarity, even as their name somehow eluded you completely.

The more you tried to remember, the more you realised that it wasn’t just their name that you seemed to have forgotten. In fact, none of your memories seemed to be coming to you properly, only the vague emotions they carried managing to linger behind, whilst the actual memories themselves simply slipped through your fingers like smoke, no matter how hard you tried to hold onto them.

It took several seconds more, for you to even notice that you were crying.
