Chinese Zodiac Ask Game

For your character(s) or yourself!! Like most horoscopes/zodiacs, they tend to be vague and varying depending on source. I'm winging it but thought it would be fun! See more info on the zodiacs here 💖

🐭 Rat - is your character charming? do they have social suave or are they wallflowers?

🐮 Ox - is your character a hard worker or a slacker? do they plan before they start things or do they just wing it?

🐯 Tiger - is your character courageous? do they brave scary situation head-on, or what do they do to build up courage?

🐰 Rabbit - does your character prefer peace and quiet, or do they thrive in busy, loud environments?

🐉 Dragon - is your character lucky? do they believe in luck or fate?

🐍 Snake - is your character wise? do they use their intelligence and wisdom for good or evil? are they cunning or kind?

🐴 Horse - is your character elegant? do they care about their appearance or what others think of them?

🐐 Goat - is your character artistic? do they create? how is their sense of fashion?

🐵 Monkey - is your character creative? do they often dwell on fantasies in their heads? were they imaginative as kids or now?

🐔 Rooster - is your character dignified and organized? do they plan far in advance? how do they handle finances?

🐶 Dog - how does your character respond to injustice? do they actively fight it? are they loyal to their causes, big or small?

🐷 Pig - does your character seek peace? or do they thrive in conflict? do they try to mediate conflicts around them, or avoid it?

wip trope bingo!!

yoinking my good friend @vacantgodling's open tag and filling out this wip trope bingo!!!! i know i've been tagged in this before and i'm so sorry i have fully forgotten who else tagged me because it was a while ago. but anyway.

rules: Download and fill out the prev writer's bingo card and then go to BingoBaker and create a bingo card with the tropes and elements of your own WIPs. Tag as many people as you like and see who can get a bingo!

i'm filling this out for two different wips: the moon holds its breath (which still needs a wip re-intro), and then the still unnamed fantasy wip borne from my dark crystal hyperfixation that i'm working out the details of and will introduce eventually

first: the moon holds its breath. also almost marked historical fiction since it takes place in the early 1990s, but thinking about that gave me a brief crisis so i put that aside. everything else applies here, in one way or another.

second: the dark crystal thing. uh. dw about it. simply do not worry about the two bingos here. (also cults may end up being part of this but as of right now they're not.)

and now... for my bingos! gonna make one for these two wips as well, lmao. first is for tmhib, the second is for the unnamed dark crystal-inspired thing.

i may have perhaps missed the point about it being a general tropes bingo and instead just made them a list of vibes and topics that are important somehow. or just me being silly.

also gonna leave this as an open tag, but if you fill out either of these PLEASE feel free to tag me so i can see :3 <33

💥 and 🫘 for the ask game!!!

Hi babe!! Double, okay!

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

I’m really excited to revisit “Unexpected” (new title incoming… at some point) and honestly, I miss the writeblr community! Felicity and William have gotten a little sassier and a little sillier, so I’m really excited to write their first soft and unguarded moment in the revised draft but I’m not there yet 😞 . Here’s a snippet of how the rewrite is going:

The chair in Maurus’s hands screeched as he dragged it next to the bed.

“Hey!” Felicity protested. Maurus yanked the warm blanket away from her feet, poking and prodding with his fingers. “Leave my feet alone, you freak!”

Maurus rolled his eyes. “So the good news is that you’ll definitely walk again someday.”

Oh. Right. The swelling. And the bandages. And her ankle.

Wasn’t exactly evidence that Maurus the Monstrous didn’t have a weird interest in feet. Felicity wasn’t usually one to judge personal interests, but she would make an exception if it was him.

🫘 Spill the beans. What's a new project you're doing this year?

This feels like cheating because I literally just texted you about this but okayyy. I just started a wlw vampire x hunter little story featuring a cheerful vampire and a pretentious vampire hunter. I’m only on the first page but I’m honestly really excited to have a new project!

This city was already full of corruption. Discovering nightcrawlers lurking around every corner hadn’t changed that fact one bit.

Noah refused to call them anything else. She knew there were other terms for those bloodsuckers but honestly, that felt like more respect than they were worth. She sipped her coffee, black and dark as her soul, as she looked out the window of this empty diner and pushed her aviators further up her face. The sun was just beginning to set. Noah was ready to play.

Thanks for the tag, @squarebracket-trickster and @sleepywriter00 :)

(This hasn't been edited at all.)

Asa’s brow furrows and he bites his lip. It’s the same one the vampire hunters wore, the ones who had just bought him, except this one has a scarlet lining. This man must be one of them.

Open tag if someone's bored and wants to jump in! I'm lazy :P

[cljordan-imperium]

🐮 I'd like a moo-dboard pls ☺️

Hi sweetheart! Apparently Pinterest was feeling a little dark and snarky this afternoon! *laughs* And it also showed me how Eva (@evita-shelby) and Yara kinda look like they could be sisters or cousins... I hope you enjoy <3 <3

out of context line tag

tagged by @cowboybrunch

“Don’t tell me that helps,” Magpie said. “Yeap.” “I said don’t tell me,” Magpie cried.

from the season of seraph of Entropy. The context is very stupid XD but I love lines that are like 'never tell me the odds'. There's a reason it's an iconic line

Last Line Tag

Thank you, @clairelsonao3 for the tag!

This is from a chapter in Prodigal Heiress, in which a bar owner with secrets and hidden agenda finds himself drawn to the woman he has just offered a work:

Justin turned away from the scene, now a veritable tableau under bright colourful lights and newly acquired patrons enjoying the night, employees ensuring that they would be satisfied and well-drunk, the music in their vibrant notes and dancing paces…but by now, the man he had watched had left, according to Pascual and had returned to his hole. Justin watched Clarisse leave with her companions and he whispered to himself as he returned to his office: “Who are you really, Mademoiselle Clarisse Berenguer?”

Will be tagging @laplumedemaureen, @winterandwords, @foxys-fantasy-tales, @thewriteflame, but this is also an open tag for those who want to join in.

Happy writing!

[writeblrsummerfest]

We’re going to do the same thing with your wip now! Introduce it to someone that has never heard about it. Let us know the bones, the structure, the story!

[acertainmoshke]

First AND last tag game

I’ve never started my own game before but I feel like I need to put some positivity out there right now. Whether it be an entire WIP or just a chapter of it, include your first line and also the last (or most recently written) line. I’ll go first:

First line of TTA:

The first day of the perfect job should dawn bright and clear and full of promise.

Most recent line:

She didn’t like tea much, but a few sips of any hot bitter liquid in the morning seemed to help wake her up.

I’m going to tag everyone I can think of to get this going and give people a chance to connect and share (but don’t worry if you don’t want to, that’s fine too), so it’s going under a cut. And if I forgot to tag you I am dreadfully sorry, I didn’t exclude anyone on purpose, and consider this an open invitation to do the thing.

Badly Summarized WIP Poll

I was tagged by the lovely @i-can-even-burn-salad

Rules: Pick a bunch of your WIPs and summarize them as badly as possible, then ask your followers to vote on which one they'd be most likely to read. Multiple/all/none options are completely optional.

I'm sure I have more but those are all the ones I can think of for now XD

Not sure who has or hasn't been tagged, so please consider this an open tag if you'd like to do this!

OC Questionnaire Tag

thank you (again!) @somethingclevermahogony for the tag sweets. My questions are:

1. Is life going the way that you hoped it would?

Loke gives a shrug with his response, "Nothing I can do about it anyway."

Adina frowns, chewing the inside of her cheek. "I never had a vision about life, hope, whatever, but something happened that wasn't what any of us expected, so I guess no, in an unfortunate turn of events it really is not going in the way that I hoped it would."

2. What is in your pocket right now? Why?

Loke sticks his hands the pocket of his jeans. "Uhm... candy wrappers, eaten, my Blipp, not that I know if I still got that apartment but a guy can hope, right? Also a charger port for Bebo, but they've never needed it."

"I don't have pockets," Adina says. The rope tied around her waist holds her robe together as she wants it, but there is no satchel tied to it.

3. If you could relive a single minute of your past, what minute would you pick?

Loke looks up at the ceiling. "That's a hard one... I think the last time I picked berries in the woods, we found a bush growing under a fallen tree and I'd like to eat berries rather than these dried packages of nutrients."

"If I can change it I would relive the minute I saw that strange expression on his face and I would stop him from becomming a monster," Adina says, no hesitation in her voice.

I tag: @aziz-reads @puttingwingsonwords @inks-books @toribookworm22 @tildeathiwillwrite + open tag!

Your questions are:

If you could change the past, would you?

Do you trust the ones supposed to protect you?

Are you at fault?

tag game: your favourite novel of all time

share a little about your favourite novel of all time! give us some reasons why you love it, ramble on for a bit. i am going to ramble, so go absolutely feral about it. i don't mind. i don't think anyone else does either.

also tag some others who you think would love to participate!

tagging: @stesierra, @anonymousfoz, @olivescales3, @hallwriteblr, @asher-orion-writes, @wrenibimben, & @reamous23 - no pressure to participate of course!! anyone else feel free to join in too!

it's probably not surprising to hear my favourite novel of all time is house of leaves by mark z. danielewski!!

okay. so for real i would not have written the art of betrayal, my own published novel, without house of leaves. i got my copy for my 15th birthday, and a day later, i started writing taob!

sure, it's not a book for everyone, but it was certainly a book for me. sure, there are skippable parts (ie. johnny every time he has a one-night-stand because im ace and can't stand it). and sure it's confusing but OUGHHH THIS BOOK

hi yes i am planning to get at least five (5) passages of this novel tattooed on me at some point in my life. its construction as a visual storyteller is unmatched, and the dark recesses that this narrative reaches is pretty unparalleled.

my absolute favourite thing about it is that the novel is written almost as if it's examining itself. which is so bizarre. especially when you are reminded that this was danielewski's debut novel and he would have had no idea the cultural impact it would have, and yet here the novel is talking about becoming ingrained into the country's cultural experience.

okay ramble over

tldr: i love house of leaves nearly all of the time but not so much when johnny truant (the protag) is horny
