WIP Wednesday - 8/16/23
Playing @kedreeva 's game again this week!
It’s WIP Wednesday, time for a little accountability, sharing your work, and getting a kick in the pants.
Here’s how it works:
In a reblog (or new post w/ rules attached), post up to five (5) filenames of your WIPs; not titles, file names.
Post a snippet from one of them. Snippet must be words you wrote in the last 7 days. We’re posting progress here. If you haven’t made any, go make some and come back to post!
After you’ve posted, people can send you an ask with one of your file names. You must then write 3 sentences in that file. If the filename is one you can't share from (for example, an event fic), write 3 sentences on it anyway, and then 3 more on another to share.
That’s it! You can invite others to join in, or just post. I’ll be searching the reblogs to find people to send asks to!
If you’re reading this, you’re invited!
If you see someone posting a WIP Wednesday Game snippet, send them an ask! Make them write.
Here are my WIP Projects on offer for this week:
Math Nerd AU
2. Andrew First AU
3. New Kings AU
4. Smalls AU
Snippet from New Kings:
The media had sensationalized the death of the man who built one of the powerhouse teams in Division 1 Exy. Any Fox past or present was asked for a word but the media was hungry for Coach David Wymack's crowning achievements.
The Foxes Miracle Team.
The team that had dragged themselves up from the very bottom all the way to the top against the team that had seemed unconquerable. The team that had faced adversity like none before and none since. (The public beef between the sons of exy, player death, a murder, serial killer dad, and the attempted murder all in one year? It could fill a book or three).
The media was starving to hear from any member of David Wymack's most beloved team. For all that the man argued that he cared about his players equally his love for his miracle team was far too obvious for anyone to do more than smile at his insistence.

Red Cheeks and Blue Ribbons
NOT A PR0MPT
“Headquarters sent out an email. It’s your birthday.”
Hero nodded. Yes, it was their birthday. Leader said it as though Hero didn’t know their own birth date. At least headquarters knew better than to send them the email on top of everyone else. ‘Hey, Hero! In case you forgot, it’s your very own birthday today!’ Hero would have chuckled if not for the confused look on Leader’s face as they began speaking.
“I usually don’t- um… I mean… We’re not supposed to-”
It was now that Hero realized there was a small box in Leader’s hands. And not just any box; it was a gift box- blue cardboard with a darker blue ribbon atop.
“It’s nothing big, but… you’re a good addition to the team. We’re closer, stronger, more vulnerable…” Leader trailed off.
Vulnerable was an interesting choice of words, but Hero shrugged it off with a hint of a smirk. They knew what Leader meant.
“I imagine informing you that your cheeks are going red would embarrass you further so I’ll say this instead: thank you for the gift.” Hero took the box from Leader’s clammy hands. “I’ll be sure to thank the team,” they said with a quick wink.
Before walking away, Hero added, “Allow yourself more confidence next time. You’re pretty cute when you fluster, but confidence is more my forte. Got it?”
Hero could have sworn they heard Leader swallow.
“I’ll- uh… yeah. Confident. More confident. No, I’ve always been confident.” Leader shook their head. “Happy birthday, Hero.” And they ducked their head as they strode down the hall, separating themself from the situation and their own embarrassment.
Leader wasn’t so messy with anyone else on the team. Hero managed a smile. They could get used to a flustered Leader if it came down to it.

controversial opinion but a lot of recent legendaries dont look like legendaries. spectrier and glastrier look like rapidash with different typing, and kubfu and urshifu look like pancham and pangoro but different types of bears. i get that after like 30 years you run out of ideas but its still really sad that they just look like regular pokemon and not legendaries
What is zapdos if not a normal bird but yellow. Theres an ongoing joke of people mistaking it for fearow.
Moltres is just rapidash as a bird.
Legendaries have always been like this. Pokemon hasnt run out of ideas, theyre just trying new things cuz they can. Not everything can be a giant space dragon and not everything can have the nostalgia of a lil pink floating cat.
