5 Lines Tag

Tagged by @cowboybrunch here- Thanks Sav! <3

The Rules: Find a line in your WIP (can be dialogue or not) that fits the parameters given by the person who tagged you. Then change one of the parameters and tag five or more people. Lines can be from multiple WIPs.

I've decided to go through Blood Covenant looking for some of these lines, and because Mavis is more dramatic, and a better fit for these lines!

a line with suspense

“I’ll see you in hell,” I gave him a bloody grin as the building shook as the first of the explosives we’d rigged to the supports blew.

a funny line

“Is that blood?”  “Don’t worry,” he mumbled, focused on his task. “It’s ethically sourced. We have vials of blood for genetic testing; medical malpractice suits, paternity lawsuits, employee drug testing… No innocents were harmed in the collection of this blood. It was given freely and readily, and is no longer needed.” “Will the ritual work? I always thought-,”  “That what? It’s all virgins tied to stone altars with creepy old men in robes chanting, before brandishing big knives? Please,” he rolled his eyes. “Maybe for one of Leviathan’s demons. I’m not so pastiche. I’m a lawyer; I know where, and when, I can use loopholes.”

a line with color

Black candle wax had stained the floor, and the sacrificed cow, its intestines spilling forth from where the stomach had ripped open from the bloat. 

a loud line

He had to shout to be heard over the fire alarm that rang out, and the screams of the fearful crowds that remained in the art gallery.

a line you’re proud of

“And if you couldn’t get him to talk?” He continued to address me, not even looking at Barclay. “How far would be willing to go? How much of your soul would you be staining with his blood.”  “As much as I needed to,” I bared my teeth.  “Where is your humanity?” His blue-eyes looked at me with concern, like I was a wounded animal who needed to be talked down.

I turn to Ares.

Thanks to Tyler Miles Lockett who allowed me to draw inspiration from his ARES piece for page 2! Look at his etsy page it's SICK

there’s something sooo sickening about how dunmeshis whole energy is like sometimes something terrible and awful happens to you and it changes you forever and nothing can make you the person you were before but there’s still love and there’s still sharing a meal together and there’s still living

i am a being capable of immeasurable love and whimsy

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

EVERY SINGLE DAY there are MILLIONS of characters in their late 20s who get falsely accused of being father figures to teenagers when in reality the description of "weird older cousin" or "step-sibling that moved out before you were born" is 1000000x more apt

The thing that is interesting is if you have any semblance of personality you will definitely encounter people who viscerally hate you and obsess over you for years and you will not even remember their name

I think about this tweet all the time because they would've been SO powerful...

Like Brendan IS the lovable "oaf" superhero, and Sandra IS the no-nonsense, competitive journalist. The VISION:

Having ocs is fucked up they make you wake up and think stuff like what if i learn to code in renpy and make this into a visual novel. Who said that

process of drawing an OC: - you design them - you get attached to them - their hair gets bigger without you realizing it

teenage rite of passage: bad haircut

I'm getting so sick of major female characters in historical media being incredibly feisty, outspoken and public defenders of women's rights with little to no realistic repercussions. Yes it feels like pandering, yes it's unrealistic and takes me out of the story, yes the dialogue almost always rings false - but beyond all that I think it does such a disservice to the women who lived during those periods. I'm not embarrassed of the women in history who didn't use every chance they had to Stick It To The Man. I'm not ashamed of women who were resigned to or enjoyed their lot in life. They weren't letting the side down by not having and representing modern gender ideals. It says a lot about how you view average ordinary women if the idea of one of your main characters behaving like one makes them seem lame and uninteresting to you.

Annabeth: I, a child, had to earn Thalia’s love, that’s how the world works! I have to earn my moms love. Love is transactional, you gotta be worthy of it first silly :)
