Pondering doing writing for $ again so
(I do always take tips ftr!)
The idea/concept:
The idea is $1 = about 100 words at minimum (if I go over thats on me)
Requests would have to be confirmed ahead of time, or it's a tip with a suggestion/idea
Wip fis have to be specified and either on ao3 or known by you to be something I'm working on
(My writing blog is @composereggwrites and composeregg is my ao3. After dark is also up for grabs if you know the username, which I'm fine giving out to the curious)

My preview for the @rivalszine akeshu charity zine! The zine will be proof-of-donation to a charity, and sales are expected to start on 2/2, fittingly.
My piece itself also takes place on that anniversary, though Akira is having a much less fun time than we will be (but it's okay, it's hurt/comfort, I promise!)

Warning: No Archive Warnings
Fandom: The Magnus Archives

Summary:
Tim knows what he does is risky, creeping around old abandoned buildings poking at what really is better left alone, but perhaps he's more curious than he'd like to admit. More likely to admit it now, five years after dying. Danny thinks it's dangerous, scouting the types of places he never dared venture to during his interest in urban exploration. Tim knows. Hell, he agrees, but....
Five years after dying, five years after ending up in a different universe, Tim needs to let off some steam.
He encounters the faces of two people who cannot be here.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Twisting, turning, twirling
To the right, to the right, and right again
Do not cross the path as you turn right once more
Corridors curve and spin and neon bleeds
Bismuth leaks from the walls, the skin, the delightful putrid taste of yellow on your ears
There is one
Book
Archivist
(Archivists are not to be trusted, not to be helped. To be taken and twisted and gone and killed but not before the suffering, before the being that once was michael gets its blood–)
It has requested a book.
It follows the paths.
The song of death is dry.
(You want the pain of a face to stop, the screams of bones so broken and misaligned into fractal perfection, but what you once were before you wore Michael pulls at all the pieces and wield them together behind the face of a lie, that cannot be truth, and yet is real enough to be worn–)
Corridors drip with blood as your veins spiral around the globe
Laced through the cracks of sanity
Technicolor electric dancing on the teeth
There is a book
You need it
(The book will set you free, it will ease the pain of Being, of being Michael, and yet not of the golden threads hooked into the skin of a lie that tears you open and makes your body an unholy hall–)
(But are you you? Are you Michael? Who are you?)
You know the color of lies
And this new Archivist
He shone with the drab scents of truth
Nothing to delight the tongue of you
You are not made for trusting
Bones built into the walls 
Contained within the hand which guides the steps of all your damned
Lost and lost and never found, swallowed down
In the end
There is no end, nor beginning
One moment there is a book
The next, two hunters have lost possession of their goods
All that is lost can be found again
But it won’t be by them
The Archivist promised
(And you do not trust the Archivist–)
But your twisted tangled insides
Yearn to be unbound from this Being

the impulse to commission art of my tma fic vs what would I even choose like I have at least 3 different "cover" ideas alone
Jon's body covered in eyes, some that are specifically of his friends made obvious somehow?
Jon being carved up a la "vivisection" + eyes?
Jon + eyes and all "his people" around him, somehow notably they each have one eye slightly tinged green? or otherwise offset?
and THEN there's the idea of trying any scene I've written? Daisy pinning Jon down in the grave? Monster Jon at the very start taking Martin's eye? Jon taking Daisy's eye? The conversation with Michael? Literally like any scene???

I am once again telling people to read "Laziness Does Not Exist" by Devon Price
it is a genuinely fantastic read. give yourself the space to rest. you do not need to devote your life to productivity. the concept of laziness is a lie, that is your body asking to recover.
our society has made it a moral sin to be lazy, and in doing so has harmed everyone.
