Find the Word Tag Game
I’ve been tagged by @on-noon to find the words they chose for me in any of my current WIPs and post the line/passage where I found each one. Thank you for the tag, and for the challenge! I definitely need to write more of my original works, because I found most of these in fanfics.
My words were: hoping, fit, home, caught, and compare
I found hoping in my Danny Phantom oneshot “Lingering Scars”:
"Going on with what? If you haven't noticed, Jazz, there's a lot going on all the time in this town. In this family. In my life. You're gonna have to be a little more specific."
"With you! With these stains! This is clearly blood from that huge scratch you got the last time you were trying to train Cujo, but you told me that already healed and I haven't seen you wincing at the dinner table once lately! I know you've done laundry since then, too, it's been at least a month. So why is there a stain? Why are you hurt in the same place, to the same degree, when I can't see any evidence that you're hurt! At all! What's going on with you?" Jazz is nearly out of breath by the time she finishes her questions. Her arms can't seem to settle on being crossed in front of her chest or flailed out in the direction of Danny's laundry.
"You... noticed all that?" Danny asks quietly, muttering a curse to himself and hoping Dani doesn't hear.
I found fit in a rough draft of my Given oneshot “Present Tense”:
There's a person. For the first time in what feels like a very long time, and no time at all, there's a person on the beach with him. Their back is turned to him, but their features keep… shifting. They’re wearing a strange uniform, that looks in turns like the one he used to wear in middle school and the one he wears now as a high schooler. It doesn't quite fit on their body, either. Maybe a girl wearing a boy's uniform that’s too big for her? Or a boy who's grown too quickly and made his clothes too small? Somehow, it's almost both. Neither. Why would anyone other than him be in a place like this, wearing clothes that keep changing on their own? The question doesn't stay in his mind long.
I found home in my novel WIP “To Be Honest”:
Their family had searched. An assistant sent by the Shepherd family had searched. Micah himself had gone out into the wilderness beyond his home time and time again, just like tonight, and that last question had never been answered. The questions of where Asher and David had gone, whether they'd lived or died, whether they blame him even now -- none of those have ever been answered. So why, when he finally gets a chance to ask someone who was actually involved, is Micah in this situation? Why is David insisting that Micah is trying to ask something else? What went wrong?
I found caught in “Lingering Scars” again:
"If you don't tell us why you're hurt, Danny, I swear I'll --!" she has her threats primed for him and everything. No mercy. No delay. Fenton through and through. Caught between terrifying a kid who's already been through too much and being hunted for sport by a Fenton who's been dabbling in ghost hunting her whole life.
I also found compare(d) in “Lingering Scars”:
For the first time since they'd started talking, the cold in Danny starts to ease. Settle back into its usual place. His blood always runs a little chilly, and he's always half-conscious of that nebulous space inside him where it all pools together, but it changes when he's scared. The intensity difference between the normal state of the ice powers that live in him and the literal fight-flight-or-freeze version of them can't possibly be compared. His whole body relaxes when it goes back to normal.
To keep the game going, I’ll tag @aohendo, @writingpotato07, @calicojackofficial, @midnights-melodiverse, @wildjuniperjones, @galaxy-writes, @365runesofwriting, and any other mutual who wants to try to find these words in their own WIPs can say I tagged them!
To those I’m tagging, your words are: agitation, exchange, gesture, deliberate, inconsistent

in Storm Bringer, Iceman mentions Chuuya punching a guy through (several) ceilings for having asked him about his past. That guy was a wholeseller Chuuya was supposed to be making a deal with for the jewel trade he was in charge of. That incident happened July 18th, and it took the guy 3 months to heal.
Now, we know both halves of skk were 15 in, well, Fifteen, and that at this time in SB, they should both be 16. Chuuya's birthday is in April, and Dazai's, June.
Since there was a time skip of a month at the end of Fifteen, the punching incident can't have been from then, as we need at least that amount of time for Dazai's birthday to have already passed. So this was after the boys' 16th birthdays, July 18th +3 months, placing SB's events at somewhere at least mid-October, even November.
The events of SB take place over like, at most, 2 weeks, between the Flags' deaths and the final fight. Then, there's another one-month skip in the epilogue, +1.5 month, so we're now at minimum in December-January range.
The Dragon's Head Conflict is said to have happened "shortly after the King of Assassins incident". Skk should still be 16 during the conflict, so we have until the end of April to get there. The conflict lasted for 88 days, nearly 3 months, bringing us to a bare minimum of it starting at the tail end of January.
What I'm saying is there was barely 6 months, most likely even less, between SB and the end of the Dragon's Head Conflict. The PM might have mostly avoided taking part in it (canon reason why they managed to take over the underworld in its wake), but they still suffered from it all the same, especially since they had just spent and lost a lot of resources during their fight against Verlaine.
Also Chuuya must have had like 3 months to make those friends before losing them too.

From Aug 2022
Sliding in right before pride month ends with some old Blup sketches that I really liked.
[ID: 3 sketch illustrations featuring Barry and Lup.
The first sketch is Barry and Lup, with the trans flag wrapped around them. Barry is leaning in to press a kiss onto Lup's cheek.
The second sketch is Barry and Lup doing a fist bump, smiling.
The last sketch is a full body of Barry and Lup, out on a walk. They are holding hands and smiling at each other. Barry is holding a coffee cup in his other hand, while Lup is holding an ice cream cone. Lup's skirt has the trans flag colors.
End ID]
Also I’m open for sketch suggestions yall I’d be happy to draw Taz fanarts.
