Writeblr [Re]introduction

This is sort of a new intro to my writeblr because I’ve been away so long and haven’t been active in writing or on tumblr- I figured I’d take some time to reintroduce myself and what I’m working on!

My name’s Brandyn but my friends call me Danger, thanks to my Xbox gamertag lol. I’m bi and African-American living in the southern United States(I have to get out of here…)

I’m a reader, writer, podcaster and gamer(I really hate referring to myself as that nowadays but whatever lol).

I love sci-fi, horror and fantasy.

As far as writing goes, my main WIP is Apocalypse Kings, a sci-fi/cosmic horror centering around a group of young adults and a small group of scientists under siege by a band of criminally insane, AI driven robots who are leading an inter-dimensional demonic invasion into their realm. It’s rad af.

I like reading people’s WIP, giving feedback and seeing people get excited about their work- so if you have anything you want me to look at, please leave me a comment on this post so I can check it out! 

If I’m already/still on your taglists for your WIPs, I’ll dive back into them as soon as possible! Thank you!

Updated WIP Intro/Synopsis incoming!!! With new character art!

shout out to my fellow sexy bitches with adhd who use way more words than they really need to literally any time they write or type anything because their point has to come across 100% like they imagined it

is this post an example

I came out here, to this point, to this place, hoping against all hope and despite signs and portends suggesting otherwise that I might, somehow, find myself having a pleasant experience, and yet here I stand, alone against the world, feeling assaulted, attacked on all fronts, knowing not my enemy’s name nor his face nor whether our battle is done.

HOW WE HAD BEEN ; Book One — Chapter One: The Garden

To this, the girl shot back a focused glare, suntanned fingers knotting in the white/brown fur of the cat. “Knowing what she does is important, giving her a name to know isn’t.”

“Course it is!” Vivian knew the importance behind a name, even if this girl didn't—a name was a little bit of the things and people she met, and once she knew them, she felt like she carried a bit of them with her in the back of her mind. Was a name not important even if that was it’s only purpose? To always carry another with you even if they’re somewhere else? “Everyone and everything needs a name, that’s important—to know who someone is, it’s not to ignore whatever they are. I mean, your mom named you, right? She did that to know you not to ignore you.”

“She named me Benji ‘cause legally you have to name your children unless you have them somewhere in a van,” she said, bitter almost. “I doubt it was to know me.”

Hello guys, sorry for long time no art but I’ve been busy on my other platforms sharing resources and news for the Black Lives Matter movement, so art is currently on pause.

Either way, this is a guide I illustrated for user chivrik on Instagram on how to properly blur and de-trace protest photos. Many protesters have gone missing or turned up dead because they were traced through images they appeared on. Don’t help pigs and protect one another. ACAB and Black lives always matter.

If you need tips on protests, what is acab, defunding/reform of police, how to stay safe and links for charities/petitions, my Instagram is @/paperballz and there are saved highlights with the information. Or you can dm me.

reblog and put in the tags your emotional support video game(s)

“I’ve cheated death and walked through the proverbial fire!” They flung their hand out wide. “Come at me, bitch! I dare you!”

Agenda Beneath the Cut

Keep reading

Please buy this game bundle. It’s $5 (or more if you want) for literally 700 video games, tabletop games, not to mention game engines and assets. All proceeds are going to the NAACP and Community Bail Fund, split 50/50.

Night in the Woods and Oneshot are both in it, not to mention literally hundreds of other cool indie games I haven’t played yet that look really cool and promising. 

Also I’d like to reiterate it is $5 minimum for over $3,400 worth of content, which is just fucking insane.

in reference to that last post i reblogged, i should also mention:

PLEASE LOOK OUT FOR ANTISEMITIC PROPAGANDA IN ANTI COP ART/POSTS. PLEASE PLEASE LOOK.

right now, being anti-cop is NECESSARY, but some people use “anti cop” art to actually depict EXTREMELY ANTISEMITIC, DANGEROUS propaganda

look for:

i totally, 100% understand the temptation to rb all the anti cop stuff you see. it’s a good instinct. but goyim NEED to look out for these dogwhistles. IT IS NEVER INNOCENT. IF YOU SEE THESE THINGS, IT IS NOT TRULY ANTI COP, IT IS ANTISEMITIC. IT IS COMPARING JEWISH PEOPLE TO POLICE.

just make sure the message you’re spreading is a good one. be safe, and keep your community safe (including the jewish ones).

[Image I.D: Tips for protesting in a hijab.

The less fabric, the better. If you wear a rectangle hijab, tuck in the long ends. Squares are preferred as they’re smaller.

Do not wear pins. Use a magnet if you have one or wear jersey or another hijab that does not require pins.

Bring an extra hijab. Bring an extra hijab in case you get tear gassed- it can linger on the fabric and get reactivated, so it’s best to change. End I.D.]
