Monthly Progress Update!

With the first chapter done, I’ve been easing into Chapter 2 planning over the past week. I’ve got about 24k words of draft content, super rough, but it’s something.

If you remember the zero 50k draft I did between last November and January, this is part of that. Can you believe the remaining 26k from Chapter 1’s draft ended up growing into 70k?

Yeah... me neither.

I’m still aiming to tighten up the skeleton coding before jumping into the actual writing. Now that I’m starting the next chapter on a fresh scene, I really want to keep things cleaner this time.

I'm still finalizing details. There's gonna be new concepts, locations, interactions, characters, and potential lore reveals... I'm practically swimming in notes trying to organize my shit together while listening to Epic the Musical. The legendary Odysseus and co will guide me towards my future laurels!

Also working on a skip chapter function since the game is getting pretty long. This is for the next chapter though, since there have been quite a few major changes in the latest update.

Next week is the public demo release. Excited about more people being able to see the story and check out what we have so far.

Full speed ahead!

sev week// day two: smut

tags: smut, public smex, cunnlingus, kissing, fingering, hold the moan, degrading, edging (don't worry you cum!), almost caught?, quickie, tw: men (flirting with reader)

synopsis: you and sevika enjoy a day on the beach together, loving on another and enjoy the ocean's breeze.. there's nothing that could ruin this perfect day.. right?

Sandy Cheeks

"come on sevika!! you're too slow!" you said giggling, running towards the shore. the sea was as blue as the sky and was beautiful decorated with clouds and birds that were passing by.

sevika gives you a small grin and picks up her pace only by a little bit. the wagon moves smoothly behind her, packaged sandwiches, sliced fruit and waters were all put in the wagon with some other small things. beach umbrellas, big towels, sunscreen, even sand molds.

this was around the type of year where sevika gets most breaks from work, especially because it's so demanding but it's good pay and so many benefits, it seemed unbelievable but legit.

you covered your face with a hand to get a better view and you found it.. the perfect spot. where you can be close to the water but way from people. rocks covered the area, giving it perfect shade.

you ran to the spot, fighting the hot sand and sharp but colorful shells under your feet.. it hurt but you were too excited to have a day with sevika where you don't have to worry about nothing.

the day consist of light but nice conversation, enjoy food with one another, whether that's sevika feeding you grapes or you're feeding her a whole sandwich. sevika even fought off a seagull that was constantly pestering the both of you.. she even grabbed it and choked it until it ran off. you never see the woman so upset in her life, but the entire interaction made you laugh so hard.

sevika kissed your cheek and told she's running off to the bathroom. you nodded and relaxed in the shaded area, letting the ocean's waves and the seagull's frantic but soothing calls calm you... until you hear someone clearing their throat.

not one.. not two but three men stand in front of you, smirking at your gorgeous and almost naked figure, admiring it in all of its beauty.

"woah, who are you beautiful?" one man asks, kneeling down to reach your lower body.

"yeah, she's totally banging.. can we get your number?" another man asks.

"we don't bite.. unless you want us to?~" the last one teased.

"no thanks i'm not interested. my wife is waiting for me." you reply, trying to keep the conversation short and sweet.

"c'mon baby.. just give us a chance, i'm sure we can make you.. really comfortable~" one of them. by the minute, you've grown irritated by their remarks and got up, arms looking down on them.

"all three of you are absolutely fucking disgusting, i'm not interested in ANY of you." you said, disgusted and repulsed. before you could even think, one of them grab you and you yanked your hand back, slapping the one that grabbed you with the back of your hand.

"this fucking bitch." both of the men looked at each other and nodded, charging towards you. your body flinched and eyes closed shut. you thought you were going to feel pain but instead you felt arms around you and wincing.

both of the mens' arms were constricted by sevika's one hand, grabbing tightly and slightly twisting it. their faces twisted with pain, trying to free themselves but her grip was stronger, tighter, and way more dangerous than these men think they are.

"do we have a problem, i think she said she wasn't.." she says sweetly, tightening the grip even more.

"interested." she said, her voice being bitter but letting them go. the men cowardly moved back, scurrying away.

"now go." the boys nodded and ran off, terrified by the woman who only used words and one hand to put them in their place. you of course, were happy that your charming and amazing wife protected and defended you, but you wished that they would just accept no the first time. sevika places you on her lap and kisses your cheek.

"you okay, baby?" she asked you, making you face her. you nod but she knows that you're just trying to stay positive, and she has just the way to make you feel better..

"you know, i think you look so sexy especially when you slapped him.. mm~ almost got a hard on, baby.." she teases, kissing your neck. you whimper softly, pushing her face away softly.

"mm~ n-not in public, vika." you said, blushing softly. you looked into her eyes, feeling shy but you wanted everything she was going to give you.

"you see that giant rock there? near the boundary, come on..~"

"you know you wanna~"

oh, yes the hell you do. your lips instantly crash into hers, feeling her chapped but soft lips. she kisses back, wrapping your arms around her neck and hers around your waist. your body warming up and eyes turning glossy from lust that you couldn't control. her soft and thick tongue wrapping around yours, taking dominance swiftly.

"such a good girl, just let me take care of you, mm?~" you didn't initially want to but how could you deny her especially since she's looking at you like that. you nodded and she lifts you up, carries you to the rock that covers the both of you. without a second doubt, she lays you down and lifts your bikini bottom down, and the sight was heavenly, you're already soaked through, face flushed, and chest risen.

she licks your sensitive bud, swirling and softly passing her tongue back and forth against it, you try your hardest to cover your moans, but you couldn't help it, letting out a few moans but they're not too loud. your lip quivers as she passionately eats you out, lapping your juices and sucking your clit.

"s-sevika, it's too good.. i can't hold my moans." you moan out, whimpering as she laughs a little before going back to eating your pussy. she lifts up two fingers, putting it close to your mouth. you opened it with saliva strands lacing your mouth, and she gently lays her fingers on your tongue. you already knew what this meant, your tongue wrapped around her thick and long fingers. you absolutely loved how good her fingers tastes; they're sweet, but also salty.

after a while, from sucking on her fingers, she pulls them out and gently massages your front. slow and gently, just the way you like but you hear someone coming by.. a couple?

"can i help you?" sevika says, half of her body covered by the rock but she's still massaging you and worse, she stuck a finger in. you yelp out but quickly covered your mouth. her finger thrusting, in and out of you like she's not having a full conversation while you're being fucked by her finger..

you tap her hand and gestured a 'send them away' and she grins, but nodding that she got it.

"i'm sorry but actually do you mind? this the only day i have off work and i'd love to enjoy the waves and the sun while i still have it." sevika explained, and the couple immediately apologized and walked off, you listening to their footsteps and the sound of the sand being crushed fade.

"aww, my poor baby can't keep her moans together.. i think you deserve.. a punishment." sevika teased, watching your pretty cunt throb like a heart on pure adrenaline for her and she kisses it.

still fingering you, she adds another finger and your tension starts to build, her fingers quickening and she lays on her tongue on your clit, sucking hard on it and licking.

your body is shaking from the amount of overstimulus but you want more, needed it even and you can't take it anymore.. you feel that pressure building up more.. and more..

"s-sev.. i'm so fucking close.. please let me cum, i'll be a good girl, just please." your begging always sends sevika into an animalistic drive, her movements quicken and her suction harder, tighter but she's passionate. you know it's filled with nothing but absolute love and her devotion to you.

"mm, cum pretty girl.. let the world know who treats you so well.." sevika moaned out, curling her fingers and you burst.. your moaning mainly whimpering and soft gasps, sevika kissed your lips, giggling at the state you're in..

"you're such a good girl, now let me clean you up." she says lifting you up, but she held you for a second. looking at your figure and she couldn't help but laugh, you were absolutely confused until you turned to her looking at your ass.

"mm, sandy cheeks is gonna be y'r new nickname, baby."

"oh god, no."

Goliath Liveblog Wrap-Up

Holy shit you guys we did it

I'm gonna get a little sentimental under the cut, but TL;DR: Thank you all so much for having fun with me during the liveblog, I had a fantastic time.

I'm a little surprised it only took me six-ish months, considering how much I have to say about everything. If you'd asked me, I would have assumed it would take eight-ish months, due to my well-established pattern of yapping about everything.

My dad tells a story about how when he was a kid and he finished reading The Return of the King by J. R. R. Tolkien, he was so excited and amped up by the end that he had to start jumping on his bed to get some of the energy out. My version of this story is that when I finished reading Goliath at the age of 13, I was so full of adrenaline that I had to walk laps around my empty house and yell for a bit. Goliath was the very first book to do that to me, and I have been chasing that high ever since. (It's MY turn to have my brain chemistry altered by a book inspired by the horrors of WWI)

Goliath is maybe my favorite book ever (definitely the book that has the biggest impact on me) and I loved getting to pick it apart and see the stuff that makes it work. I love the character work, I love the themes, I love the New York City era so much that it makes me look stupid.

I cannot fully express how much fun I had doing this. Getting to revisit these books with a fine tooth comb and dig into all my favorite stuff, looking at themes and symbolism and characterization, was such a blast. And I loved making stupid jokes along the way too. I love a stupid joke.

Another thing that's genuinely meant a lot to me is everyone's interactions with the posts. I got at least one friend to read the series by talking about it so much, and a bunch more people reread the books because I was talking about them so much. (Y'all were MUCH faster than me, though, I was on a slow drip listening while I got ready for work most mornings.) Every time I got a reply in the comments or someone reblogged something and put their own ideas in the tags, it made me so happy. It's like we have a little book club here and I'm just leading discussion. I tried to get to most of the comments and have a conversation but I'm sure I missed a few.

Not to sound like I'm fishing for notes, because I'm not, but I wanna hear what everyone's favorite topic of discussion was. If you are so inclined, go ahead and drop that in the replies of this post so we can talk about it some more! Or make your own discussion post-- despite the fact that I've fucking flooded the tags at this point, I don't have a monopoly on Leviathan analysis.

And for everyone who follows me who doesn't read these books (especially those of you I know IRL who I will see face-to-face): Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. Thank you for coming along on this incredibly close look into my psyche. I genuinely think a lot of things about the way that I am as a person will fall into place if you know these books and what they mean to me.

This is a little personal, but the response to the liveblog has genuinely helped me with the fact that I am worried all the time that I'm annoying the people I'm spending time with and they all secretly want me to go away and shut the fuck up forever. With very few exceptions (people who have known me for decades, friends who have assured me over and over and over and over again), this happens with every single person I talk to, despite any and all evidence to the contrary. This feeling is significantly more prevalent whenever I talk about stuff I like, but can and will show up at any time. I often have to remind myself that my friends do actually want to spend time with me and they want to listen to what I have to say.

So the fact that I talked a lot about the thing that I like the most, and the response was overwhelmingly positive? Even from people who haven't read the books? That really helped me combat the feeling that nobody actually wants me around, knowing that people want to hear more of what I have to say. I cannot thank you enough for this gift.

I'm probably going to do another liveblog series on a different book series in the future, because I had so much fun with this one, but I'm not going to start that for a while. The anime comes out in a month, after all, and I'm sure I'm going to have a LOT to say about it, so we'll wait until that hype has died down before I jump into something new.

Again, thank you all for coming along for the ride while I went off on a posting adventure. This has been an absolute blast and I have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

I know Jared Hopworth is supposed to be a terrifying monster with too many limbs and a body that defies any recognisable form one could relate to humanity, but I can never picture him like that. I've never been able to picture this many-limbed monstrosity, but instead something much more subtle.

A man who at a glance could be normal. From a distance. You know how sometimes if you see a large animal your brain tries to make it into a person? Like that. The shape is that of a person, but wait... It's too big, the proportions are... Off.

There's nothing more terrifying than the slow realisation that something unprovable is very, very wrong.

I’m so excited to see the Fukurōdani vs Mujinazaka match animated not just because I’m an Akaashi kinnie who doesn't play about Bokuaka but because maybe people will finally start acknowledging how emotionally intelligent Bokuto is.

@trainto1925 and now u got ME thinkin!!!

wondering when eiden would have gotten good enough at plushie making to create his entire harem in doll form. ...possibly around the time blade showed up. eiden got a lot of practice making thousands of Eiden Plushies as gifts 🤣

imagining how eiden starts to do a lot of impromptu "visualisation" exercises when blade joins the roster

BLADE: but why was lil yakumo embarrassed when i showed garugaru the box in front of-- EIDEN: (sighing goodnaturedly) ok, say..um *grabs the nearest two items* pretend this cup is garu, and this spoon is yakumo---

after some repetition, eiden wonders if blade will understand better if he just has dolls representing everyone thus begins the plushie brigade

I don't remember how often I spoke about this nor how many people knew I was in vet school for the past few years. I felt like maybe I should say something because its big and I'm so happy and want to share.

I finally graduated this September. I am now officially a Doctor!!

Bad news: I don't think I'm going to be able to write for ever day of TD horror week as I'd originally imagined.

Good news: The days I am going to be part of will be Cooking. I shan't spoil too much about it but one day already has 2.5K words and is only like a fourth of the way done.

[shikai-the-storyteller]

There are SO many cool interactions and lore things we can look forward to now that Rubius says he'll come back to QSMP (not only as an angel / demon, but potentially as a human too!), but that little detail reminded me of something:

Even though q!Vegetta and q!Rubius were mutually interested in each other wayyyy back in the beginning of the series, as an Angel / Demon, Rubius said he can't have relationships with humans because it's against the rules.

But a bit ago on stream, Rubius said that he's thinking about having a "human" side so he can build and do more things on the server as a regular player. I'm excited because this means he can have more casual interactions with people and we can see him interacting with his friends more (and he can experience The Horrors), but also...

I think we're in for some very interesting drama in the next few weeks.*

* ( Assuming Rubius doesn't get harassed off the server by toxic shippers and weird fans of the Eggs again. Please be nice to Rubius and welcome him back kindly, he's a very cool guy and his character is SO interesting )

Just saw this comment on a story posted a month ago.

*cries in Eddie Munson Solo Series no one wanted to read, interact with or request for*

No shade to the person that commented this on their own fic if you recognize it. It's not their fault. I'm not mad at them. More crying in the tags.

[haarute]

it's amazing how almost all of my friendships (and by almost all i mean Every save like three) are ruined by my own self essentially swerving into a wall and crashing on purpose due to my inability to believe my company could ever be even slightly desirable to anyone and i'd rather just burn it all and die than see myself as someone who intrudes and abuses people's kindness out of my own selfish desire to want companionship.
