Top 3 WIP Inspirations Tag Game

I saw a thread on twitter where writers shared the top 3 inspirations for their current project, and reading the different responses (without context) was so interesting! Thought this was a great idea, so here we are with another tag game!

I was tagged by @dc-hollis & @lordkingsmith

Rules: Share the top three inspirations for your current WIP:

The story of Bloody Mary

Wanting more representation for colored women in media

Basically the salem witch trials, but like basically the old witch hunts inspired the opening to the story

I wanna tag @raevenlywrites @jade-island-lives and @rhikasa

Last Line Tag Game

Thank you to @catharticallysarcastic, @magic-is-something-we-create, @dustylovelyrun, @talesofsorrowandofruin & @violetcancerian for tagging me! Lots of tags since the last time I posted. ^_^

Just FYI this isn’t the ACTUAL last line I wrote, but I’ve played since I last wrote and I didn’t want you all to think I was ignoring you, so here is ONE OF the latest things I’ve written. It comes from my WIP, The Curse of the Bloody Lady (my own version of the story of Bloody Mary)...

Why? Why did I have to be so stupid? They always say it’s a myth... well, now I know it’s a myth that it’s a myth.

Thanks again for the tags; as always, I’m not gonna tag anyone but all are welcome to join and tag me as tagging them! ^_^

Reasons I Love The Curse of the Bloody Lady

As per this post, I am doing a "reasons I love __" series in which I talk about why I love my WIPs and characters. I'm taking my OC page   and using that as my guide for what order to write about characters. I   skipped the rp/OHS characters for now, though, since I talk about them the most.

I've already talked about DHaF, Belinda, Ikuisuus, Juma, Chippy, DHaFN, Ruby, Soul Surgery, Jason Zephyr, The Forest, Amelia R., Cadence, Vampire Idol rewrite, Elizabeth, Nane, Humanity’s Demon, Demonic,  Samuel, Katherine A, Clarissa, Humanity’s Demon 2.0, Satan, Lucifer, Azrael, Fredrich, Lilith, Apollyon, Aamon, Master,  Raguel, Michaelveli, Catrina, Zadkiel, Kenneth, Franklin, The Magic  Jeweler, Chip, The Origin of the Magick Shoppe, Ariel, The Fall of the  Sirens, Glorie, Maloi, Glimmer Like the Stars and Mrs. McRoy.

Here is what I love about The Curse of the Bloody Lady:

I just absolutely love putting my own spin on well-known characters & myths and creatures (maybe because of the fact that I started writing via fanfiction and roleplaying)

um, a Bloody Mary that was a witch? Fuck yes!

um, a Bloody Mary that was a POC? Again, fuck yes!

and finally, a version of Bloody  Mary where they weren’t lovers but related? Hell yes!

I just love horror, though I generally prefer psychological horror over gory horror/slashers (Chucky notwithstanding) but hey! Exceptions to every rule, right?

If you have anything else yo add, please feel free!

How it All Began

Words: 341

Genre: horror

WIP: The Curse of the Bloody Lady

Disclaimer: this is a series with lots of horror aspects and dark themes. There is gore involved, as the series is about Bloody Mary. Proceed with caution. That said, enjoy my new WIP, TCotBL.

A young lady strode with confidence across the light of the full moon. She had a look on her face that screamed don’t fuck with me and everyone that passed by her feared her and stepped to the side so she could continue her journey down the pathway.

She stopped in front of a young man who, unlike everyone else, refused to move to the side for her.

“Move,” she said simply, eyes flashing at him dangerously.

“Excuse me?” He snapped, eyes narrowing. “Who do you think you’re talking to, woman?” She rolled her eyes, playing with something hidden at her hip.

“Hmm, I think I’m talking to a rat who believes he’s a man.” In a flash, there was an object glinting from in her palm as her eyes flashed once again. “I’m giving you one last chance to move before I make you.” He laughed out loud at that, but his laughter was choked off by gurgling as his throat as slit in a single, smooth motion. She licked the blood off the blade as he collapsed to his knees, holding his throat, attempting to speak but unable to due to his throat being slashed. She let out a soft chuckle and kicked him aside, casually continuing her journey toward the woods.

--

“We find this witch guilty,” a man said, puffing his chest out. The woman’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“You fool of a man!” She screeched, laughing. “You’ll be sorry for this. All of you! The whole world!” Everyone went silent, in awe of how cool she was in the face of death. But, moments later, her coolness didn’t matter, because in the end, she ended up with her throat sliced open, just as she had done to the man.

The people later found that the man wasn’t the only one she had killed. There were many people linked to her that had disappeared over the course of the last couple of years. They were relieved to be rid of such evil...

... but were they really rid of her?

TCotBL, part I

MODERN DAY.

Disclaimer: this is a series with lots of horror aspects and dark themes. There is gore involved, as the series is about Bloody Mary. Proceed with caution. That said, enjoy my new WIP, TCotBL.

I sit in a circle with my best friends. We sit with our legs crossed around a ouija board and are laughing with one another about what we’re about to do.

Of course, with every ouija experience, you have to have that one friend that is trying to chicken out.

“This isn’t a good idea...” Chelsea says uneasily, shuffling where she’s sitting. She’s the only one not cross-legged. In fact, she’s hugging her knees to her chest. “I don’t feel good about this. Let’s do something else.”

A maniacal grin spreads across my face.

“Fine, Chels. You have two options.” She doesn’t look like she’s anymore thrilled hearing those words exit my mouth than she does about playing the game.

“What?” She asks warily after a moment’s hesitation.

“You can either A) suck it up and play Ouija with us... or B) we can play Bloody Mary.” She shoots up to her feet at my words.

“You’re just trying to get us killed!” She squeals. I laugh.

“You’re such a child,” I scoff. “None of this is real. Bloody Mary? Seriously? That scares you?” I roll my eyes and push to my feet, brushing off my jeans and blue t-shirt with a big yellow grinning emoji on the front. She watches me, still looking uneasy.

“What are you about to do?” She asks, looking terrified.

“Proving there’s nothing to be afraid of,” I reply simply, rolling my eyes and walking to the drawer where my parents keep their candles and then going to the bathroom. I stand in the bathroom with the door closed and the light turned off... water running in the foreground. I stare ahead, toward where I know the mirror is located, and take a deep breath.

She isn’t real. You’re just proving it, I remind myself before lighting the candle and slowly spinning around with it in my hands.

“Bloody Mary,” I say as I make my first turn. I can hear Chelsea screaming for me to stop from the other side of the door and struggling to open it, but as I had locked it, she can’t open it. I keep spinning, chanting Bloody Mary two more times and then stop. Just as I stop, the candle burns out but nothing else happens. I stand there, staring toward the mirror for a solid minute. The only sound I can hear, though I’m straining my ears, is the loud banging of Chelsea’s desperate attempts to get inside.

“Are you okay!?” She shouts. “Please talk to me! Amanda!” I let out a relieved laugh.

“I’m fine. I told you there was no such thing as Bloody Mary.” I flick the light on but it remains pitch dark in the room. Odd. I frown but blindly reach to unlock the door, which I eventually do, and then swing it open.

“See? No Bloody Mary. Now can we get back to that Ouija board?” Chelsea throws her arms around me.

“Never do anything that stupid and reckless again! No, we’re not playing Ouija! Let’s do something that doesn’t have to do with the dead. Please, I’m begging you.” I stare at her for a moment before shrugging my shoulders.

“Fine. Let’s go to the park.” She perks up at that, clapping happily.

“Yes, please! Anything else.” A couple of our friends groan, throwing the board to the side and then we all put on our light jackets and head out to the park.

--

That night, the sun goes down. My parents are still gone, which is to be expected. My parents often are gone all night during weekends, even when I have friends over. We’re all lazing around the living room, having filled ourselves with pizza we’d gorged on after the delivery driver came and delivered them to us (which, by the way, he was really cute. I was almost tempted to order more just to see him again).

However, the moment the sun comes down, I hear a loud crash come from the bathroom. Chelsea grabs me, having jumped practically out of her skin. I look between my friends, making sure no one had disappeared to go to the bathroom, then slowly push to my feet.

“Please don’t go,” Chelsea begs me, looking horrified. “We can... just pretend we didn’t hear it!” But I shake my head.

“This is my house. I need to know if someone’s breaking in,” I say simply.

“Breaking in to use your bathroom?” Chelsea points out, but it’s already to late. I push her off of me and pad toward the bathroom.

And the sight I see when I reach the door and push it open... leaves me cold with dread and fear.

Character Intro: Mary

Mary had her throat slit way back in history for being a witch (supposedly). She put a curse on the people and now she comes back to kill the people that summon her. Just like in the urban legend, Bloody Mary.

Full Name: Mary (haven’t picked the rest of her name yet)

Nicknames: Bloody Mary

Age: old, just... leave it at that.

Gender: female (she/her)

Species: was a human, now a poltergeist on a vengeance terror

Personality: I mean, no one really gets to know her long enough to learn about her personality

Likes: killing, vengeance

Dislikes: people

Quote: She doesn’t talk; just goes after you to kill you while making a creepy sound like she’s trying to talk, buts since her throat was slashed, she makes a similar sound to that from the Grudge horror movies

Last Line Tag Game

Alright, I finished clearing out my drafts... so now I’m going to post a Last Line!

This whole time I’ve been adding last lines to of course my most recently written last lines but I didn’t even think about the WIPs I have been working on in my drafts! :D

So, for this one, I’ll tell you guys my last line for my Bloody Mary WIP (The Curse of the Bloody Lady or TCotBL):

She is slowly levitating toward me. But the look in her eyes is full of lust. Blood lust. That’s when I realize who it is.

First of all, thank you to @chris-pixie & @writingamongthecoloredroses for the tags!

I’ve been holding this draft in my drafts section for a while now. It’s about time I share something from it! x’D

Anyway, umm, I tag whoever wants to play. My taglist for my games is too small to go tagging people again, considering I just tagged the whole list to a last line game like a couple weeks ago, if that long.

Let me know if you want to be added to my tag game list, by the way, guys!!! It’s way too small. I want at least 20 or so people to choose from! And right now I only have like 7-10.

[hannah-deactivated20220725]

Last Line Tag Game

Thank you to @writing-with-melon for tagging me to this game. For some reason I can’t seem to be able to tag you, but thank you either way!

Here is the last line I wrote to one of my WIPs. This time, I’m working on the next segment of my Bloody Mary series, called The Curse of the Bloody Lady (or TCotBL for short):

Why? Why did I have to be so stupid? They always say it’s a myth... well, now I know it’s a myth that it’s a myth.

And there you have it. The moment the girl realizes that Bloody Mary is... well, not a myth.

I’m not gonna tag anyone this time. If you wanna play, feel free, but I’m just... not really in the mood to tag others.

[hannah-deactivated20220725]

TCotBL, part II

Disclaimer: This series is very bloody and horror-ific. Proceed with caution if you do not enjoy blood or gore, as this is literally a series about Bloody Mary.

If you missed the introduction, you can read it here.

If you missed part I, you can read it here.

I stand there, frozen on my feet as I stare at a woman. Her throat is slashed and there is blood everywhere - on her. But none on the floor. How is she even alive? Her breaths are heavy, but they’re also... the sound is difficult to describe, as I have never heard someone with a slit throat try to breathe before.

She is slowly levitating toward me. But the look in her eyes is full of lust. Blood lust. That’s when I realize who it is. My mouth falls open as a quiet sound escapes my lips, but no words form. Slowly, I begin to back away from the door as the woman’s form continues to move toward me, making that god-awful sound.

My friends shoot to their feet.

“What is that sound!?” One of my friends asks, looking horrified.

“Sounds like the grudge,” another of my friends says, as they start to walk toward me but I wave frantically at them, trying to get them to stay away, but they don’t listen. As they approach, the lady turns toward the boy that had walked over and slices his guts open, which fall out of the hole she leaves. The axe that she’d used to cut him open is gripped tightly in her hands. She hadn’t even looked away from me when she did it.

Slowly, she lifts a hand toward me, starts to make that sound again. I stare, eyes wide. She says nothing, goes quiet. There’s a look in her eyes like she’s hungry for me, like she wants to eat me. I hadn’t even noticed my friends’ screams or the fact that they ran over to the guy that got gutted. I can’t see anything but the lady, pointing her long nails at me and silently saying something to me.

You... I’m coming for you... and without so much as another peep, she’s gone.

What the fuck just happened?

[hannah-deactivated20220725]

I got an idea for a horror series at like 5 this morning that I'm probably gonna write.

I'm tentatively calling it: The Curse of the Bloody Lady or TCotBL for short.

[hannah-deactivated20220725]

Aaaaay there we are lol. Happy WBW! My question is, what was the inspiration for the MC in your latest WIP?

=DD I think I may have been hacked because right before I went to bed last night, I received an ask but then suddenly, when I logged on this afternoon, I got a message from someone that was participating in TbTT yesterday saying they couldn’t send me an ask and that was when it all began. >.> I think someone got tired of me answering asks and hacked me to turn off my ask box xDDD or something idk.

Anywayyyy~

Happy WbW! :D

The MC... of my last WIP... shoot, what is my newest WIP...? I think it’s the Bloody Mary one...? Of which essentially the main character (or at least the only recurring character) is Bloody Mary... so I mean, I guess the inspiration would be the story of Bloody Mary. :D

Thanks for the ask! Have an awesome day.

WIP Intro: The Curse of the Bloody Lady

The Curse of the Bloody Lady, aka TCotBL, is a series about a woman that was killed back in time, and now she comes back to kill the people that say her name in the mirror. She’ll follow you throughout the house until she gets you.

The Characters

There is only one main character throughout this whole series.

Mary - The woman that was killed. She now kills anyone that summons her as revenge for her own death.

The Moral

Don’t play with the dead.

Themes

Death, blood, gore, revenge

Inspiration

Inspired by the story of Bloody Mary, this is my take on her story.

Links

Link to my posts about this WIP.

Link to the first segment of the WIP.

[hannah-deactivated20220725]

Oooohhhhhhh shit you’re right xDDD I totally forgot about that WIP tbh xDD

For her, I’d probably see like sad music. Something that just makes you want to cry when you’re listening to it. Something about being alone in the world. I can’t think of a specific song like that, but she’d probably listen to really sad music.

i'd love to know what songs you associate with Kyle, Maxie, and Mary! - magic-is-something-we-create

Kyle would be more of a genre. I see him loving metal & hard rock. Probably the kind of metal that like... makes your heart pound and sounds super angry and roary but when you actually listen to (or read for those that can’t understand metal screams) the lyrics, you realize it’s a beautiful love song. Totally a Kyle thing. He seems angry on the outside but is so full of love for those that are close to him.

Maxie would be softer music. Stuff that makes you relax. Actually, that song, The Sound of Silence, but Disturbed’s version... yeah, that’s a total Maxie song.

And then Mary... um... I don’t have a Mary. (: Mary is Jasper and Marcy’s sister but that’s my friend Val’s character. Did you happen to mean Marcy?

Thanks for playing, Pax! @magic-is-something-we-create

Reasons I Love Announcement

Ooookay so I have the order of the Reasons I love posts I’m going to do... I have 15 WIPs listed because let’s face it... some are finished and/or I’ve officially abandoned. And then um... 77 OCs listed. So that’s a total of 92 posts. Like I said, I’m queuing them but this is going to be getting posted for at least 2 days if not 3 so it may be a while before you see your favorite OCs especially since I did the roleplay/OHS characters last :x I just did the math. It’s going to be about 3 days because I have my queue done to post 30 times a day but it starts at 5am, so I’m like halfway into day 1.

But! The order of the WIPs I’m doing are: DHaF, DHaFN, SS, The Forest, Vampire Idol (rewrite, so the contestants are not on the list), HD, HD 2.0, TMJ, TOMS, TFotS, GLtS, TCotBL, NDE, VotW, OHS/roleplay and then there’s 2 miscellaneous characters at the end (the ones based off the child I almost had).

So if you have a favorite, those are the order of the WIPs I’ll be doing. I tried to do the lesser-known ones at the beginning because I really want people to fall in love with all the WIPs I’ve been working on over the course of the last couple years, not just the ones I’m always talking about xD

Anyway... that’s all. Have a lovely day! I’m gonna go back to working on and queuing those posts.
