Popping in to demand, gently and with enthusiasm, that you share some banter from a wip of your choosing, please and thank you

hiiii there somehow isn't a lot of banter in The Black & Blues! I guess they just don't communicate like that. however Christian and Livia DEFINITELY do so here is part of their conversation when they first met:

The man was getting closer. It was now or never. Christian leaned over and pressed the ‘door close’ button. It was almost shut when a dainty hand shoved through the small space in the doors and pushed. The man was a lot stronger than he looked, so small and thin. It would have been impressive if it weren’t going to make Christian even later. The small man – he was, what, maybe five foot, maybe a hundred pounds? He glowered at Christian, a glare much too angry for such a cute, round baby face. The man slammed his hands on the top of the row of buttons and dragged them down, lighting all but three on his way. He went back and pushed each of the remaining buttons one at a time. “Are you fucking serious?” Christian said. The man looked up at him and stuck his tongue out. The elevator stopped. The door opened. Nobody got on. It closed again. “Oh,” the man said. “Yeah,” Christian glowered. “Oh.” “You started it. You tried to shut me out when I was rushing to get in.” “What floor do you work on?” He didn’t answer right away. Finally, he said, “Twenty-three.” “I’m at fourteen,” Christian said. “So enjoy your ride, asshole.” “I have a name.” “Do you?” “Livia.” Christian looked him up and down a few times, trying to gauge him. He wasn’t a threat, at least. “Christian,” he finally said. “What do you do?” Livia asked. His voice was pure friendliness and conversation as he bounced on the balls of his feet. His slacks were a little too long, bunched up at the top of his shoes. “I’m the guy you hang up on when he calls you at dinner,” Christian said. “Ah, a telemarketer. Scum of the earth.” “You?” Christian asked. “Paralegal,” Livia said. Christian chuckled. “And he calls me scum.” “I just file shit, man. I don’t do any lawyering.”

I LOVE THEM I haven't worked on them in a while but they are always at the back of my head being cute dorks <3

Pic number 2 of the violet art bomb! I actually did upload this one, but only to my dA (whoops). 

Growing up I was a huuuuge fan of G1 MLP, and the twinkle eye ponies were easily my favorites. Not only for their beautiful color palettes, but also because of their kickass backstory! So, to honor them and my love for FiM, I reimagined Galaxy, Mimic and Fizzy as crystal ponies a’la G4. Mimic is wearing her golden horseshoes of course~

One More Time (With Feeling)

March Liu is a broke artist who wants love more than anything but can’t seem to hold onto a relationship because he’s trans and ace. Then a friend introduces him to Chayton, a free-spirited street artist, they get along like a house on fire, one thing leads to another, and suddenly March realizes he has a crush on someone absolutely unattainable. Again. But the closer March gets to Chayton, the less he seems to actually know. When Chayton’s biggest secret spills out in an argument, they have to take a break, and March isn’t sure they even have a friendship left anymore, much less potential for anything else.

Period Dramatic Romance (nebulous early 2000s). M/M M/F/NB With five bisexual main characters, one transgender male lead, one transgender female secondary character, and one nonbinary secondary character.

Two Heartbeats on One Page

Jordan’s in love with two people (who are in love with each other), he hasn’t spoken to his parents in five years, and despite working almost sixty hours a week, he’s still ages away from having enough to pay for the three surgeries he needs to complete his gender confirmation. This would be a problem anywhere, but particularly so in small-town, homophobic Arizona.

He needs a vacation.

Darcey’s been discharged from the Army after knowing nothing else for eight years, he’s unemployed, and, at twenty-seven years old, he has no choice but to move back in with his parents. Since his discharge was dishonorable, he doesn’t even have health insurance to treat his PTSD.

He just needs some time to get back on his feet and reconnect with his family.

Instead, they find each other.

When Jordan takes Darcey home from a party, they mean it to be a one-night stand, but they turn out to be too compatible to want to give each other up. Neither wants a relationship, but a straightforward, no-strings-attached friends-with-benefits setup will keep things nice and neat, right?

Period Romance. M/M with pansexual transgender and gay male leads.

WIP Wednesday

Everything is technically a WIP until I post it, thanks to(?) my brain. Here, therefore, is a snippet from my upcoming RWRB A Royally Big Bang (@aroyallybigbangrwrb) story.

Thank you kindly to @mikibwrites for the Sunday Sentences tag which I am nabbing now!

No-pressure tagging... @anincompletelist , @magicandarchery , @mikibwrites , @sparklepocalypse , and of course an open tag (please tag me back if you use it, I eat words like candy).

Anywho.

A 3+1 times public transit romcom? Yes, indeed.

...

He's finishing up his story about the morning's train delay and his spontaneous, not-entirely-altruistic-but-still-definitely-a-good-deed coffee outing with Henry when Nora waves her fork in the air with a flourish.

"Aww, you had a meet-cute. Pretty much textbook as these things go, too. Nice.”

“I had a what?”

"A meet-cute. It's an industry term.”

Alex raises his eyebrows. “Exactly what industry are you working in these days?”

“Dude, if you're going to be obtuse, I'm honor-bound to bury you in reputable sources until you see the error of your ways.” Nora sets aside her fork and grabs her phone, a put-upon expression on her face. “Okay, here. Per our good pals at Merriam-Webster, ‘meet-cute,’ noun, is ‘a cute, charming, or amusing first encounter between romantic partners, as in a movie.’”

...

“You're way off-base, then. There was zero romance.” There hadn't been. Alex would have noticed, because he basically hadn't taken his eyes off Henry the whole time. If there had been even the slightest sign of reciprocated interest, he would have seen it.

“Oh, come on,” Nora scoffs. “Do you need me to make a list for you?"

ROY G BIV

tagged by @willtheweaver to share lines with the colors of the rainbow!

red:

It’s crowded when you get off the bus. Not as bad as weekends. Not as bad as it would be downtown. But people swarm everywhere, crowding the sidewalks, driving like maniacs, running red lights and stop signs and nearly smashing you into the asphalt like a rabbit in the wrong place at the wrong time. Your hands tremble. Your whole body trembles. If you were to try to stand still, the vibrations in your body could probably still keep you moving forward.

orange:

One by one, pieces of clothing come off. Piece by piece you bare your bodies to each other, intimate, vulnerable, safe. You finally get to see the entirety of the tattoo on his hip. It’s monochrome black vines, snaking from his hip down his thigh, with small splashes of watercolor work where each flower there blooms. An orange, cut open and segments bared, sits nestled in the middle.

yellow:

“Meara,” Danny says gently. You look up from your fingers. You’re wearing yellow nail polish today. Chipped as usual. “It’s okay. It’s just me.”

green:

Morgan is tall, though not as tall as Josephine or Austin, and he’s thin and waiflike like you are. His hair is the same color and texture, and if he had green eyes and glasses, he could pass for your brother, or even your twin. He grins when he sees you and says brightly, “Hey, look at us! We match!”

blue:

You stand there, dumbstruck, as they start walking in the direction of the blue line. When they reach the corner, Josselin and Frankie turn around and wave, and then they’re gone. For a few long moments, you stare at the empty corner, until Danny gently bumps his shoulder against yours. “You’re gonna e-mail him, right?” he asks.

purple:

“Bad day?” You nod again. Then the only noise is her lunch bag unzipping. Something crinkles. You finally look up when she slides a little purple packet in front of you. “You’re vegan, right?” she says. “I think those are. There’s no gelatin.” You pick up the little bag. It’s gummy bunnies. You sniffle, and your mouth tightens, and you can’t stop the tears once they start falling, because she was thoughtful enough to share something with you when you’re sad, and if you lose this scholarship you might lose this job, and she’s like the big sister you always should have had, and what if you can’t work with her anymore, and and and–

indigo

have a couple extras!

white:

Then he crawls into your lap and your mind goes white and fuzzy. He flings one leg over you, pressing in close. Your hands fall to his hips, which you didn’t notice before, but they’re really, really nice. He sighs into your mouth and goes boneless against you. You wish you could do the same, but even though your brain has turned off, your body is still tense and ready to run.

black and gray:

“Here, you animal,” Danny says, handing you a gray and black checkered handkerchief. “Use this. Uh. Don’t put it in your pocket, though.” “Do you think I’m stupid?” you laugh. “No, I just don’t think you share my kinks,” he grins back, ruffling your hair.

The Succession of Us

Iffy Jackson is starting over. She’s out of her racist as hell high school and in a diverse college, living the family’s dream. Nothing can stop her now.

That is, as long as she doesn’t let that cute, nonverbal guy named Nate distract her from her studies. He doesn’t mean to, honest! But they keep bumping into each other, like it might be fate.

more than i even like self inserts i love the power of the second person perspective. like from a literary standpoint, the discomfort of you is so deeply appealing to me. it forces the reader to engage with a story in a way it is not required from other perspectives. i like it literature and in video games and in art. i like when a story challenges my concept of self and tells me: forget everything. this is a story about you (disambiguation)

#my favorite #second person pov #YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES #a dear friend of mine also called it the queerest of perspectives #the concept of which i really enjoy #queue

ROYGBIV tag

Shoutout to @kaylinalexanderbooks for the tag

Rules: find the main rainbow colors in your WIP!

I’ll be using A Feather in the Forest. Let’s see where this hunt for colors takes us.

———————————————————————

Red- The chief of the village was a large, aged white fox with spinel red eyes.

Orange- The badge was metal, with a coppery orange hue to it.

Yellow- Walking into the hall with authority and purpose was a great eagle. Clear, piercing amber eyes and a deep, hooked yellow beak showed prominently on a head of Snow White feathers.

Green- The foxes had brought spare hoods, cloaks, and mantles, all in various shades of green.

Blue- The flapping grew louder until a bird manifested itself. It was a jay, dark blue in color save for the head which was black.

Indigo & Violet-(2 for 1 special!) Dawn was not far off. Already streaks of light could be seen as the indigos and violets of night faded.
