Title: The Edge of In Between
Author: Lorelei Savaryn
Series or standalone: standalone
Publication year: 2022
Genres: fiction, fantasy, magical realism, retelling
Blurb: Lottie lives in Vivelle, the heart of a vibrant city where life exists in brilliant technicolour and nearly everyone has magic. Lottie is no exception; she can paint pictures to life in every shade and hue imaginable...but at the sudden loss of her parents, all the colour is stripped from Lottie’s heart and the world around her. Taken in by her reclusive, eccentric uncle, Lottie moves into Forsaken, his vast manor located in the grey wasteland between the Land of the Living and Ever After, the land of the dead. The discovery of a locked-up garden, a wise cardinal, a hidden boy, and a family whose world is full of colour despite the bleakness around them begins to pull at the threads of what it means to live in such a near-dead place, slowly returning some of the colour to Lottie’s private world and giving her hope that life is worth living and experiencing fully, even while one carries sorrow...but as time runs out, Lottie must find a way to thaw both the world and the hearts of her uncle, cousin, and those she has come to know and love in her new home, or all of Forsaken - including Lottie herself - will be absorbed by Ever After long before their time.

I feel like sparring with Suguru (especially with cult leader! suguru) he would be sooo intimate and mischievously coy with you. Like, it'll be the little fragile finger grazes slipping across your hips, agonizingly slowly. The hot, prodding whispers of encouragement and slight taunt bellowing directly into the depths of your ringing ears. And god, don't even get me started on the way this man swiftly and easily maneuvers manhandles your every abrasive attack, how easily he pins you to the nearest solid object. Hips solidly connected with yours, eyes leering ever so intently and strictly into your own — creates a massive swarm of unwarranted butterflies deep within your fluttering tummy.

I'm well aware this must be the fiftieth poll on the subject floating around tumblr but screw it, I want to know who lives in your head rent-free. Feel free to wax lyrical about your nautical blorbo of choice in the tags: the more deranged the better.
Please reblog for a better sample size!

I’m trying to write a “quick” reference doc of in-universe common knowledge for the players in my ttrpg campaign but every time I sit down to edit, it expands by another 200 words. The section on orbital dynamics is now almost a full page. There should not be a section on orbital dynamics. Why do I have chronic terminal writer brain. H e l p
