you know it really isnt immoral, if you do it right, to raise cows and sheep for meat. so. well. i think there should be a story about, vampires who have a town of humans that they keep well-maintained, so long as the humans donate their blood once a month, like vampire blood farm stuff

but instead of antagonistic everyone's like. no he's a nice man you leave the count alone. he keeps us safe and cared for and he just needs a lil snack now and then, it dont hurt anyone. like a cow that loves the farmer and the farmer that loves the cow, even with both knowing one will end up on the other's table. because its like. its like. cows just have such pretty eyes, you know? they love you so much. i think it should be like that

The lasting effects of bloodloss that leave a character feeling generally weak, washed-out, shivery, and chilled for days or weeks into their recovery as their body slowly replenishes the vital strength it's lost- they're healing, the wound is mending, but they still feel faded and dull and like too little butter spread over too much toast.

characters apologizing for things they have no control over. mumbling sorry while losing consciousness. feeling ashamed of a bleeding wound. embarrassed when an infection sets in. deep seated feverish guilt when they need to be carried, when their legs won't keep them upright anymore and they lean heavy on a friend, slurring apologies..........

Corruption and cruelty pulse through the veins of an opulent metropolis, where every side is the wrong side and progress is fuelled by exploitation. Imprisoned for a crime or five that she definitely committed, Aria makes it through her sentence remembering more than she’s supposed to but not enough to make sense. An illicit trade syndicate gives her a fresh start and the acceptance she won’t admit she craves, but her blood family’s betrayal is seared into her mind and revenge is only an opportunity away.

✅ GENRE Cyberpunk, neon-noir

📖 AUDIENCE Adult

👀 VIBE Found crime family. Memory is a curse, but it’s also a weapon. What doesn’t kill you makes you deadly. No identity, still a crisis. Because fuck you, that’s why.

⭐ MAIN CHARACTER Aria Day lives in survival mode. She's burdened by loss and regret, and fuelled by spite and adrenaline. But she’s fine. Seriously. FINE. Shut up. Trust is a liability and emptiness is a valuable skill. She didn’t start the fight, but she’ll finish it. OK, so she might have started it too. Keep your hands to yourself if you like having hands.

📝 MORE INFO The WIP summary is here. See tags #name from nowhere and #project aria. Project Aria was the working title. This story is the sequel to Bridge From Ashes. Yes, Rafe and Gillen are involved, as are some of the other characters.

Tagged by @winterandwords a long time ago! Playing a little catch up with things!

From my Ch 18, I was going back through it editing some things. So here's a little piece of the fight scene.

The scrapper jolted back at the teeth sinking into his flesh. Shocked by it in all aspects of the word. 

Salt. 

Salt and dirt. 

Soon followed the overpowering taste of iron as Macaw crunched down with the vigor of a starving creature. Hoping the jagged corners of his broken teeth were slicing in deep, knowing just how well they already cut up the inside of his mouth from simply existing.

The man tried to yank himself away from Macaw. Attempting to pry his arm from that bite and grasp. His nails raking across Macaw's face. Clawing for a release. 

Macaw continued biting down with the most he could muster then tearing as he wrenched himself away. Desperate to rip and take pieces of the man with him. Trying to do the most damage as they struggled.

I liked this one! But also had a hard time describing what exactly my WIP is based on - because vibes mostly, ha.

This is for my Social Throwaways project

So, I am a person that is heavily influenced by music. 98% of anything 'creative' I do, is sparked by music.

Bangarang is how this story was sparked. Not even joking. I heard the song and got a glimpse of some characters I knew I just HAD to make.

Other songs that have heavily influenced this story:

Paradise Lost / CHAOS - Hollywood Undead

Hardcore - Reignwolf

Run (Run Run Run) - Flobots

We Did It!!! / Oh No!!!- grandson

Plus more, but these are at the core of the WIP

I knew the setting was going to be dystopian in nature. I love the grittiness that follows the stereotypical 'wasteland dystopian' vibes. Dusty, dirty, asphalt, scavengers, blood, and red sand.

I wanted an intense, heavy character driven story that wasn't afraid to explore the darker aspects of humanity completely unapologetically. As well as one that wasn't going to be afraid to lay it out in the open. Something to go through and experience the raw and ugly. Character vs Self at the foreground, the environment and other people are the secondary enemies.

Symbolism is a big BIG thing. My brain makes weird connections to things, so that's reflected in my writing/art. Even if the symbolism probably doesn't make sense to anyone else but me, ha.

Found family HAD to exist in this WIP, along with clashing personalities and unlikely friends in low places.

I really don't know how else to explain what exactly started this WIP, or what it was based on. Really, its the emotions that I'm trying to chase and capture while creating a story that, at its very bare, is a story of survival by all means necessary. Found family. That things aren't always what they may seem. And acceptance of what is, what will be, and of what cannot be helped or changed.

Neither enemies to lovers nor slow burn but a secret third thing called Schrödinger's intimacy. We are in love and we are not in love do NOT open that lid I swear to God.

I keep seeing people making fun of using growled, hissed, roared, snarled etc in writing and it’s like.

have you never heard someone speak with the gravel in their voice when they get angry? Because that’s what a growl is.

Have you never heard someone sharply whisper something through the thin space of their teeth? Or when your mother sharply told you to stop it in public as a kid when you were acting up/being too loud? Because that’s what a hiss is.

Have you never heard a man get so blackout angry that their voice BOOMS through the house? Because that’s what a roar is.

Have you never seen someone bare their teeth while talking to accentuate their frustration or anger while speaking with a vicious tone? Because that’s what snarling is.

It’s not meant to be a literal animal noise. For the love of god, not every description is literal. I get some people are genuinely confused, but also some of these people are genuinely unimaginative as fuck.
