Saw a sibling poll and needed to expand it because I fit, like. Mid youngest, youngest in theory only child in practice, and adopted. And I think they all have their own unique parts in the sibling ecosystem.

#youngest of 3 in theory #but my siblings are 11 and 13 years older so only in practice

Heya Writerblr!

As I’ve been returning, a lot of the writing blogs I’d followed are kinda dormant currently, looking to meet some new possible mutuals! (I follow from my main @bml1997 )

I’m tag game friendly (though I’m horrible about remembering to actually do them) and ask game friendly.

Genre I write: fantasy, urban fantasy, sci-fi, weird science, horror, action comedy w/ animal characters, poetry, mystery, fanfic

What I like to read: Fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, ghost stories, werewolves, poetry, spy stuff

#hello!! #i have a wip thats a fantasy/steampunk murder mystery if thats interesting to you #the protagonists all work at a newspaper and its very fun and i like it #there's a link to the intro in my pinned post i think

right now you might be in a situation that you think you won’t survive but six months ago you were in a situation that you didn’t think you’d survive and two years before that you were in a situation you didn’t think you’d survive and the point is you will always surprise yourself and you will always make it through

I am sorry to everyone who tagged me in some tag game and I never responded. I saw it and thought “aww they thought of me” and proceeded to forget about it right after

The Millennium Saga Book Two: Echoseers - a formal WIP Intro

This is book two of The Millennium Saga! The intro for book one, titled Firebreathers, can be found here: [x]

The first patches of white on Dusk’s skin looked almost like decay, when they appeared where his scars faded.

“You did nothing.”

He looks away. Out to the expanse of thick snow and bloody leaves and trees big as mountains and dark as cast iron. Over the entire world below, where people are hardly more than dust and city blocks are just a web to be traced with lazy eyes.

I leave him there. The high-nosed gazes of those few others around still cling to me, still follow my footsteps, still weigh on each stitch of my patchy cloak and shoes worn ragged.

They watch me go, with knives for eyelashes and poison for breath, and a trail of magma yarn watches, too.

Genre: High Fantasy, Steampunk

Target Audience: New Adult/Adult

POV: First Person Present, Multi-POV

Themes: Anti-Imperialism, trauma and recovery, identity post-recovery, the stigma surrounding mental illness, the differences between vengeance, atonement, and justice, the separation between faith, religion, and gods/goddesses, death and life and which one defines humanity more, and the effects of leaving the only home you’ve known behind.

First round of edits is complete at 146k words; drafting of book 3 is underway.

Ember Timber has lead rebellions, bested Eternals, and seen horrors and blessings alike beyond the scope most will ever dream in a lifetime. They have spoken to the Elder, and seen hints of a world ancient and vengeful, festering beneath the waves. They have done this and more, with the weight of the dead on their shoulders heavier than ever.

They have done this, and their dreams might be what finally breaks them.

The heir has a thousand untold secrets waiting to spill forth. The actor has never felt so terribly alone. The tailor has uncovered conspiracy wrought with blood and darkness.

The Rillmother grieves. The Scholar hides. The Chosen is afraid.

For there once was a notion the world would end when the Godtrees died.

The stump in the ruins of Fahrial may yet be a testament to this.

actors love to make their characters subtextually gay not just because they’re a little gay themselves though that often is the case but rather because having a secret is like energy drink to acting, and being gay is the easiest most obvious secret. whenever you’re unsure of your character’s motivations consider: maybe they are gay? see where that takes you. should be pretty far

PSA CAN’T BELIEVE I’M POSTING THIS. STOP AI.

The first image is a prompt I posted on my prompt blog LAST YEAR.

The second image is from an application called c.ai. On MY post, a viewer commented, telling people that there’s a character with this very dialogue.

Mind you, NO ONE ASKED ME FOR PERMISSION. Though it wasn’t stolen word for word, this is very obviously taken from my prompt which I took the time to write and publish. This is MY writing, and though I share it publicly, that does not give anyone the right to make money off of it. I did NOT CONSENT TO MY PROMPT BEING USED IN AI.

I honestly am not even sure what action to take but please please please bring attention to this and reblog. We need to end AI and the act of stealing artists’ work. I can’t believe this.

Out of context line tag

tagged by @zmwrites! thanks!!

here's one from herald at dawn that i think is decently funny out of context:

"Don’t light anything on fire in the meantime, please.” “Why would I light something on fire?" "Absolutely no idea."

Open tag for anyone who wants to play!

Question:

If I have a sentence of ''The fallen king Thornmyst the Magnificent lives and [hast/hath] summoned a terrible foe to rain foul evil on our righteously vanquished lands!''

Is it hast or hath. I know hast is the Shakespearean English version of has and hath is the past tense (I think????) but which one do I use. Is has the past tense or is have the past tense. help.

#ah okay thank you!!! #i have since figured it out but you also did a much better job of explaining it than google did so thank you very much!!! #/not sarcastic
