i have finally finished "the price of eden"

clocking at 65k words, it's finally done. and i am shelving it. this story that is so dear to my heart, i have been working on for over a decade now, changing, re-working, re-writing, hiatus-ing, shelving.

it's finally fucking done.

this, like HEMLOCKS, likely will never be put in for publication just because of how special it is to my heart. and like HEMLOCKS, will only given for a few friends to read sparsely.

i did have a sequel planned, where the story continues because this ended on a bittersweet ending but i've decided that this story doesn't get much of a happy ending. i tried every which way to give it one, but in the end, it didn't fit. it would have been named the lies of lilith or likely, white chrysanthemums and followed bailee and lucija's daughter in the aftermath of it all, as the daughter of traitors to the Covens and the reason for the New Celestial Wars being waged. but whenever I tried to write it, it didn't fit or I just didn't like its direction. I will likely use those characters and the Eden world at another point in time.

now if only i could finish so said the king.

Hey guys! So, I normally don't make posts like these but Elias is like one of my best friends and I promised to help him out so -!

My friend, Eli, was recently scheduled to get top surgery - which is very much needed for his mental health and transition - unfortunately, Medicaid decided that they weren't going to cover the costs even though this is a medically necessary procedure.

From his Go Fund Me description:

My name is Elias Little, and I'm a 23 year old trans man. I've been living socially as a man for 8 years, and I've been on testosterone for 5. Although it would help my mental health and my life in general immensely, Medicaid has decided that top surgery is just an elective surgery and won't pay for it. Because of that, I have to ask for your help. The goal of $11,000 is to help pay for the surgery, anesthesia, and any other medical costs that may come up such as prescription pain medication. I'm lucky enough to have a surgeon that will work with me in a city that's only an hour away, so I don't need to worry too much about traveling costs. Any donation helps, and sharing the page if you can’t donate is also a huge help! Thank you for your support in helping me become my true self.

Eli is an incredible person with a kind soul! I know we're all a bit strapped for funds in this capitalistic hell, but reblogs or donations or just sharing so maybe he can get a little bit of help would be amazing. I can 100% vouch for him, he deserves this.

i've a new wip coming soon~

[lettersandinkstains]

You're fresh out of college and looking for a job. Everyone is hiring. Nobody who's "hiring" is actually hiring. You finally get a call back from somewhere you barely remember applying to (though the voice on the other end sounds synthesized). You pull up the job listing again real quick. The company name and the fact that the listing is for "Minion" are kind of concerning, but you know what, you've interviewed with enough evil corporations by now, you can handle one wearing its true colors on its sleeve. At this point it's a matter of making rent or moving back in with your parents, and as much as you love your family, you can't imagine spending another summer dealing with your brothers' antics. You agree to the interview.

The man who greets you is an enthusiastic older German(?) man who's either way too into cosplay or just that committed to the bit, judging by the lab coat. He made cookies. The tray of cookies is proffered to you by a ten-foot-tall robotic caricature of a 50s businessman. You take a deep breath to calm yourself. You bite into one of the cookies. It's delicious.

You ask the boss about his business model. "Oh you know, a little of this, a little of that, I bounce from project to project a lot." He mentions that his end goal is becoming the undisputed ruler of the surrounding counties. "Really? Not the whole world?" you ask. "I like to set realistic goals," he replies.

As he gives you the tour of his "evil lair," ingrained instincts are screaming at you to report this guy to some kind of authority figure. You remember the salary. You decide that you can always bust him after getting your first paycheck.

The boss asks when you can start. Caught off guard, you say "tomorrow?". Your boss(?) says he'll see you then.

On the way out, you bump into your stepbrother's girlfriend. Your boss introduces her as his daughter. You both silently agree to sidestep the subject for now and act like this is your first time meeting.

You show up to your first day of work. Your boss is putting the finishing touches on a giant machine that was definitely not there yesterday. You are nonplussed. You ask him what it's for and he launches into a convoluted explanation involving his parents always forcing him to put his shirts on backwards so the tag was in front. You think he should probably talk to a therapist.

Your brothers' exotic pet breaks down the wall. You stare at him. He stares at you. Incredulously, you say his name. "Oh, good, you two already know each other!" your boss says. You mention that you used to live with him. "What? Perry the Platypus, you never mentioned having a roommate."

This is what I like to imagine Candace Flynn's life is like, post P&F.

some of you need to make your bed and have a shower with a soap that smells nice, and then sit in a chair near the window and have tea with milk and read a hardcover book and see how your creative block is after that tbh.

SO SAID THE KING -> GRAPHIC

TEXT:

Sage felt her blood freeze in her veins as Sorrel quietly gave her the news - the king is dead and she must run. There is no time to mourn, no time to pack - he promises he will meet her in Ayathia but for her sake, she must run before the Queen finds her. She wants to accuse him of lying, but why would her long time friend lie to her about the Kings death? He pulls her along the hallway, his instructions falling on deaf ears as her vision swims. Why would her mother do something like this - no, she knows why but she wishes she didn't. "There has to be another way." "Not if we want our nation to survive, there isn't," His voice is firm. "Ayathia used to be our allies. You must request an audience with the Empress. We cannot do this alone." "I can't just leave my people." He pushes her to the other side of the gate. "Run."

PRINCESS SAGE - Daughter of late King Ilya, beloved by the people, firm in her beliefs but sheltered from the outside world so her views and ideas are naive. She is gentle in nature. Bi. It is said that one the day of her birth, the sun shone and it was much warmer.

Her kingdom is frozen, vast and covered with forests and mountains everywhere. It is believed that their nation is frozen because their god had died in a war her forefathers waged, and they were cursed with her last dying breath. This god, oddly enough, was one who controlled fire - the nation was once prosperous with her reign, blessing the ruling family with her powers until King Akim chose to betray her in a battle to in order to advance his army into a nearby country.

Hi writeblr <3

I am making this post at ass o'clock and will probably rb it a few times but i am trying to make an effort to reinvest in my writeblr sphere after several weeks on depression & cluster b island

And I had noticed that I had gotten a few more followers in this time, and I feel so bad that I haven't had the energy or wherewithal recently to dive into learning more about everyone's WIPs... but I would really like to....

So please, if you have the time & spoons....

Rb or reply to this post with some fun info about your favorite pieces/WIPs!

And honestly? Feel free to just link to intro posts or character sheets or even memes also :) (I know typing stuff out can be a lot).

I want to take the time to read and really appreciate every one! It means a lot to me to cultivate a space on tumblr where I feel involved in a community of writers, and this is a part of that for me. <3

Please bear with me as I continue to crawl out of my pit LOL. mwah.

I don't know whether the story about tibetan spaniels and tibetan mastiffs working together is true or not, but I find it way too fucking funny. Like imagine being a burglar who's broken into a monastery to do burglarly things, and then you hear a noise and you're like "oh shit I'm caught", but then you turn to look and it's just this tiny dog who looks at you with mild disgust and wanders off.

So you sigh in relief and continue with your robbery before you hear another noise, and immediately become aware of three things: The little dog came back with a friend, the new buddy is the size of one metric Fuck You, and you are about to find out which afterlife is real.

could you please explain how the safeword traffic system works?? i really cant wrap my head around it

Sure.

Red means stop. No more negotiation, something has crossed a line (too painful, something bad that wasn’t negotiated, etc.)

Yellow means that you need a break or that something is too much, or that if the top continues then you’re going to “red” soon.

Green means that things are going well and you want to continue if not ramp it up a little.

While a bottom might blurt out red or yellow, I’ve never seen a bottom volunteer “green”. It’s usually said in answer to when a top is checking in to make sure everything is okay. Asking “How are you?” and getting an answer of “fine” or “okay” might mean the bottom is just on autopilot and reflexively answering. Asking “What’s your color?” and getting “green” or “I was very close to yellow when you stopped” is much better.

One of my favorite doms to watch at parties was doing a pre-scene negotiation with someone he hadn’t played with before and said something like “Now, just between you and me here ;-) , my favorite color is yellow. It’s not about taking anything I can dish out. I promise you, I can always go harder. I want to know how you’re doing. I’ll likely yellow you, on purpose, a few times, just to find out where your limits are and then aim for a little below that. I don’t want to hear ‘green green green, green green red’ because then the scene’s over. I want some indication of how you’re doing and when you’re getting close to what you can handle, okay?”

And then, whenever she yellowed, he praised her. And why wouldn’t he?? She gave him vital information that allowed the both of them to have more fun!

i think that ghosts can and should decay. i think they should blur and fade, like a tape rewound too many times, or a photograph taken out and unfolded and then refolded again until it's nothing more than a vaguely recognizable smear of what was once a snapshot of time and memory. i think that clinging too tightly to a ghost should only destroy it faster, eroding it away until there's nothing left to hold on to.
