THE EXODAR

The Exodar is a dimensional ship satellite structure of the dimensional fortress known as Tempest Keep that crashed on Azeroth. Like other dimensional ships, the Exodar was able to transcend dimensions, and warp time itself but that is no longer the case since the ship is apparently beyond repair and now acts solely as the new home of the draenei on Azeroth.

I finally got around to posting all of the holiday prompts from 2023 to AO3 (better late than never lol)

[sesshy380]

you're going about your normal day when, suddenly, surprise! you've been pokémon mystery dungeon'd!

unfortunately, due to budget cuts, the pokémon assigning quiz has been canceled. instead, you must spin THE WHEEL, assigning you a random, unevolved, non-legendary and non-mythical pokémon. you must now go on some sort of world-saving adventure as this pokémon. good luck!

tell me in the tags what you rolled, and how you feel about it - for bonus points, you can spin the wheel again for (or just take your pick of) a pokémon to be your partner.

bonus rules:

you're not shiny unless the wheel tells you you're shiny

take your pick of regional forms and evolutions (for example, if you roll vulpix, it's up to you whether that means normal or alolan vulpix)

apply whatever logic you like with regards to gender

have fun and be yourself!

saw something that made me do a double take so: poll

1. for the purposes of this poll, if you have ever written any amount of fanfiction, even just a sentence, even if you don't post it, that counts

2. if you write fanfiction but don't read it please tell me why. i want to study you

[sesshy380]

I call upon the fan fic writing gods to bless you with the perseverance to finish one of your unfinished drafts. 

May your fingers dance along the letters upon your device with ease, may the devil of distraction stay far from you, and may your work not need much editing.

I pass this blessing upon every fan fic writer out there.

I thought if you knew, you’d leave

"I can't risk his health"

You stabbed him.

Quick editing tip: Passing time

Hey all, here’s a quick tip about showing the passage of short amounts of time in a scene. I see a lot of beats like this:

She hesitated

He paused

A few seconds later

There was a long silence

He waited for her to answer

She didn’t respond

Instead of telling us there’s a brief moment of silence or pause in your scene, try showing us by creating the feeling that time has passed through action, description, or inner monologue. Here are a few examples.

Before:

“Are you coming or not?”

He waited for her to answer, but she didn’t respond.

“Clare? Did you hear me?”

“Huh?”

After:

“Are you coming or not?”

Clare scrolled through her phone, her face illuminating with a eerie blue glow.

“Clare? Did you hear me?”

“Huh?”

Before:

Jared lingered at the suspect’s front gate. If this guy didn’t answer Jared’s questions, he was screwed.

“Hey you!” a voice shouted. “Get off my property!”

Jared hesitated. Finally, he turned to face the man. “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

After:

Jared lingered at the suspect’s front gate. If this guy didn’t answer Jared’s questions, he was screwed.

“Hey you!” a voice shouted. “Get off my property!”

Jared patted his holster. He had a gun, but he certainly didn’t want to use it. Taking a deep breath, he turned to face the man. “I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

Not only does creating a pause instead of describing a pause allow your reader to feel the moment more vividly, it gives you a chance to explain what exactly that pause is about. People hesitate, pause, don’t respond, etc. for all kinds of reasons. Give us as much insight as you can into your weird quiet moment.

Of course, you don’t need to do this every single time. Sometimes it’s fine to say “he paused” or “the room was quiet for a moment”—it could be the best choice for that scene. But look back through your draft and see if you’ve used those “telling” descriptions more often than you needed to. If so, try to create the feeling of a pause—perhaps one that gives the reader a bit more information—using these techniques.

Hope this helps!

Me: *tired of having massive sensory overload from SOUND*

Some God somewhere with a sick sense of humor: "Here's an ear infection in the left ear that will muffle everything on that side, and a ruptured eardrum on the right side that makes everything really quiet."

Me: *now has loud tinnitus ringing in the left ear and what sounds like a broken car horn that won't turn off in the distance in the right ear* "Yes...this is so much better...😑"

So, to feed @bakawitch need of casteshipping, here my bird-cursed!Atem Ancient Egypt AU:

Context: Atem is cursed since a very young age. Someone tried to kill him as a kid with magic *cough*Akhenaden*cough cough* but it didn’t work completely. Now Every night Atem turns into a falcon and to turns back human he has to be in contact with the sun's very first lights. If he miss them, he is stuck as a bird until next morning. Only a very few selected people know about this (not all the priests know).

Then story line stays the same until the 'Bakura goes into the throne room with daddy's corpse on a leash and get his ass kicked by Atem" part.

Bakura flee, but Atem is very worried about the menace he represents. So he decides to use his curse to search for Bakura. Bird-boy escapes the Palace as soon as the night is here, but... Atem didn't take into account that he never left the city before and his dumb ass ends up lost in the middle of the desert. Not to mention he never flew that long before so he gets quickly tired.

Atem goes on the ground to rest but gets attacked by wild animals and his wing gets injured. He is rescued by Bakura who makes the animals flee. Atem doesn't have the time to react because he lost a lot of blood and pass out.

He wakes up the next day as a bird as he missed morning's first lights. His wing has been cares for, he has water and food around him, is on a very comfortable pillow. Then bird-boy realises with horror that his savior is Bakura. Usually the thief lets animals do their things but he somehow felt pity for the bird this time. At first Atem is very aggressive but he can’t do much with his injured wing. Bakura doesn't think much about it as he expected a wild animal to be aggressive.

Atem has no choice but to deal with it until he can escape. The two of them spend a few days together (and Atem manage to avoid morning sun's light because he is sure Bakura is going to kill him otherwise). Turns out Bakura takes very good care of him and Atem is so confused. Like is this really the same guy who attacked him before???? Bakura even rescues him again when people tries to capture Atem to sell him. (And damn it why does it have to fell so nice when he pets Atem's feathers???) Atem also learns more about Bakura's past because Bakura loves to talk even if it's just a bird listening.

When Atem's wing is fully healed he knows he has to go. It's been days and everyone at the Palace must be panicked by his absence. So he leaves the night Bakura gets his bandage off.

Bakura suddenly feels very lonely, but that was to be expected from a wild bird. Atem returns to the Palace and gets everything back in order.

Things happens and Bakura goes to the Palace to fight Atem again. But this time Atem just can't attack him like before because he knows Bakura is not a villain but someone who has been hurt.

He doesn't have any choice but to fight because Bakura is serious about killing him. However the night will arrive soon and Atem is too focused on the fight to notice. He changes into a bird in front of a very confused Bakura. Akhenaden uses that confusion to attack Bakura, but Atem flies in front of him to stop him. Akhenaden doesn't care and it's Atem who gets hurt. The priest does some evil speech how he can kill the thief and the Pharaoh (one stone for two birds you know) and put everything on Bakura. Bakura is still very confused but gets Atem and runs away.

So the thief is back in the desert with his bird, now very much aware of its identity. And very confused. And angry. (And omg I scratched his head and called him cute names.) They talk about it once Atem can change back and conclude that Akhenaden is behind everything and have to work together to get him down (and Atem has to deal with the 'Oh fuck I'm in love with Bakura'. It comes a bit later for Bakura.)

... Damn. This got way longer than I intended it 😂
