#final creative project

[bixels]

Posting a sneak-peak of this now because I'm about to be In The Shit school workload-wise, so this'll take me a while to finish.

Doing some character design exploration/expression sheets for Celestia and Luna. Figuring out Celestia's weird ass anatomy while I'm at it.

valgrace except it’s a scream au. the group is invited to rachel’s lake house and it’s greek myth themed so they’re all dressed up in tunics and chitons, wearing gold jewelry and eye catching makeup that gives a hint of who they went as.

they all drink and eat to celebrate the life of their fallen friend bianca and lee. the city has been on edge since the killings, no one knows who or why and by typical teenager fashion, they throw a party away from the city.

it doesn’t start kicking off until some of them are missing. will went out to his car to grab something but never came back, thalia was in the garage gathering more drinks from the cooler, percy had gone swimming but he wasn’t around either.

and it wasn’t until jason visited one of the room to change his shirt after a terrible mishap with a beer keg that he finds a ghostface mask in a bag. a bag that belongs to leo.

his heart nearly threatens to stop working when he closes the wardrobe doors to see leo standing there with his arms crossed and a head tilt.

“what’s the matter, jacey? you look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

sometimes i hate the whole rule of "don't include details in your writing that your audience doesn't need to know" because sometimes i really want to just write my characters being human. like, stuttering and fumbling a word or sentence so bad they just have to stop and go "wow." and have the other characters laugh with them about it, or have their mind get so wildly sidetracked that they go "--wait, what was i thinking about? what was i doing? oh right", or fiddling with something and dropping it and scrambling to catch it, miss it and pretend it never happened before awkwardly picking it up. or, hell, laughing at a stupid comment in their head, trying to salt their food and the whole fucking lid coming off, pausing and forgetting what the other person was talking about because they saw a cute dog and completely tuned them out, having a serious conversation and being interrupted by a cat, I could go on and on. but no it'll distract the reader, and i get it, i understand, but man sometimes do i just want to write silly little inconveniences or joys into my story that have no real meaning other than sprinkling some more humanity into my darlings, to just show that theyre going through their day to day life too. its not all trauma i promise, sometimes there's a cute kitty in the window and you gotta almost run into a pole over it, or skid on the icy sidewalk you didnt know was glare ice, or be mesmerised by a really messed up blinking store sign, or see a really cool bird and point it out to your friends, you know?

I am having a moment right now where I’m realizing I can use a plot I created and never used for a D&D campaign and a language I created last summer out of boredom and merge them with the characters/setting I’ve been brewing while bored at work to create something BEAUTIFUL!

WE’RE SO FUCKING BACK BABY

— little acts of love.

fluff. gn!reader. hcs. ichiro, jiro.

note: i swear i love my boy sabu, and i love writing for him, trust. he’ll come soon enough!! (also if you can tell my bias, no you can't)

Ichiro . . . is always doing the most for you. the little things you wont realize at first

letting you have a bite of his food out on dates, having you taste test dinner to make sure it’s to your liking. he drapes a blanket over you too, each time he sees you’ve knocked out on the couch after a long day. he won’t disturb you, but when you wake up, you see that there’s already food for you on the table

(or draping you with his jacket.. omg)

he seems to have a ‘sixth sense.’ always making your favorite dinners on the days you just so happen to have it rough or doing the certain chores you absolutely despise

“it’s cold outside. make sure to wear a jacket.”

and he’d even button it up for you! helps you put on your jacket and zips it all the way up so that you’re all warm and cozy. sometimes he’d lend you his coat too, if your jacket ever wasn’t warm enough for you

(he brushes the hair out of your face too, and there’s just.. the loveliest smile. softest eyes. and his callused fingers are so delicate with you too, as if you’d break at the slightest wrong touch)

he gives you his gloves too so that your hands don’t freeze, and don’t worry about him! ichiro would grin; he’s got another pair he’ll use when doing his odd jobs. but you can see the frostbites and cracks that mark up him hands from all the previous days’ work

(he’s always working so hard, for you and his bros)

they’re so big on you — don’t fit perfect like a glove should. but they’re just so warm. and of course, they’re gloves after all, but it’s just so.. reminiscent of Ichiro. the exact same warmth when he gently holds your hands, the exact same butterflies in your chest. it’s that reassuring sort of warmth that eases your heart and lets you know that everything will be ok

ruffles your hair, a lot,,

it’s just a small habit he’s picked up after doing it to jiro and saburo for so long.

but every time he’ll ruffle your hair, because he’s just so proud of you, whether it’s because you did well on a test or you got that promotion or anything.

sure, he messes up your hair, and his hands are so heavy albeit in a good way. there’s just butterflies in your stomach and nice comforting warmth..

“good job babe! i knew you could do it!” he’d beam so confidently because ichi always did have the utmost faith in you, even if you didn’t

and when he shoots you that adoring smile.. badump.

it’s like another cupid’s shot right through the heart, another time you’ve fallen in love; you just want to continue making him proud right then and there (though you always do, no matter what)

honestly honestly, you see why Jiro and Saburo are always (not so) discreetly asking for head ruffles for even the tiniest job well done

he always will peel a small plate of fruit for you,,

whenever you’re busy studying or perhaps working on projects that never seem to end, Ichiro will always come on with a plate of your favorite fruits. he sets it down, gives you a warm, tiny smile and the sweetest “good luck” oozes from his lips. sweeter than the fruits

it’s the brotherly instinct in him, really. he loves looking after you and his bros; it’s nothing, really.

gahh he’s too cute

a plate of perfectly peeled oranges and pears, heart strawberries, and apple rabbits. they’re so juicy and ripe and perfect for snacking, sweeter because ichiro peeled them for you

(rabbit apples always did taste better than regular slices)

and the scent of citrus lingers from his fingertips, when Ichiro cups your cheeks and leans down to kiss you sweet. you can smell the oranges and clementines when he’s this close, taste them from his lips

and perhaps they’re sweetest right from ichiro himself..

Jiro . . . is thinking of you, always

telling his friends about how amazing you were or maybe playing the guitar, wondering if you’d like this melody he’d just made (though if he thinks of you too much, he’d strike a wrong chord. with the prettiest blush too and flustered heart..)

he’s always sending you crude memes he thinks you’d find funny or songs he listens to and thinks of you, almost immediately

not that jiro is trying to. his heart is just so big and full, and you’re always on the back of his instinctively. did you eat today, you’ve probably got the math homework all figured out by now ; he doesn’t realize just how sweet he can be

but when you see that text from your boyfriend and the little ‘reminds me of you’, well.. your heart can’t help but skip a beat. and you think you might have the greatest boyfriend, ever

also lots of little touches too

loves to rest his chin on your shoulder. arms lazily wrapped around your waist, lazy lopsided grin as he watches you scroll through your phone or mayhaps just watching tv

it’s lazy, it’s cute. Jiro is happy as long as he has you

just.. lazy cuddling. lots and lots of it, especially when the two of you have an at-home date or are just lounging in his room (his favorite way to cuddle maybe?)

and he’ll nestle himself into the crook of your neck, hum absentmindedly; his feathered hair grazes your skin, hot breaths tickle. just very.. intimate — a nice slow date

( imagine,, sometimes he’ll turn his cheek and give your neck a sweet little kiss. really soft, really light — it’s almost ticklish )

he’s a bit too touch-affectionate ; it’s his love language! whether it’s loosely holding hands or just having you close. it’s how he connects his heart to yours..

and he always makes it a habit to follow the sidewalk rule. to hold your hand and keep you close, away from traffic and sprinting across crossroads. he just cannot allow you to walk near the side of the road, ever. it’s too dangerous!

(note: irumi probably jokingly told him about it one day, teasing that she sure hopes jiro wasn’t making you walk on the same side of the road. oh poor jiro, she tuts shaking her head at a cutely, hopelessly lost jiro. hasn’t he heard? you’re not supposed to make the one you love walk on the same side as the cars!

unfortunately, he didn’t pick up on the sarcasm, and from then on, he’s never let you walk on that side of the road ever again. )

if you were, he gets on his nerves; shit, what if a car suddenly swerves and hits you? what if the dirty rainwater from the other day splashes all over you?? the thoughts make him jolt and get all antsy

and before you know it, he grabs your wrist and switches places with you. which is strange, when you eventually notice that he’s always trying to walk on the side of the road

but it’s so.. cute, when you first realize why. yes, it’s not real, and yes, saburo has probably made called him a dumbass, a idiot, all sorts of names in the book, for even believing in that shit, but he doesn’t care. because what if. It’s just so sweet.

it’s.. it’s the little things, ok? even if, hypothetically, a car were to swerve onto the sidewalk, the both of you would get hit. but it’s the thought, really. Jiro wouldn’t hesitate to sacrifice himself for you

he always always always gives you an extra kiss or two, or five, before he drops you off after a date

standing at your door, he gets a bit of frozen feet and a thick gulp in his throat because he doesn’t want to leave just yet. his hands are still in yours, loose, but he can’t let go..

he’d lean over and give you a ‘goodbye’ kiss just before you open your door. and he’d give your hands one last tight squeeze, pulling back with those

buttt he goes back in for another one, and then one more too, because it’s just so addictive.

(I also like to think that he’d just love kisses)

“one more!!” he says, before grabbing your shoulders and giving you another sloppy, sweet kiss. but it’s been six ‘one more’s, and your lips are starting to go numb. he doesn’t want to go back home just yet

because that would mean the date would end, and jiro can’t leave you yet!!

(he will probably text you again back home though, as if he hadn’t already been with you for so long. But he can never get enough of you)

stands outside the door and makes sure you got into your house safe and sound before he leaves!! he’ll even wave at you when you peek through the window, with the warmest grin,,

honestly honestly, he’s just a very kind and sweet boyfriend!! with the biggest heart that he wears on his sleeve.

Thoughts on mtt

they should travel the multiverse together and see and experience a more peaceful life than all of them ever have (⁎˃ᴗ˂⁎)

also they should get to gnaw at each other like rabies infected dogs ���🙏

[lylahammar]

tbh I'll never truly consider genAI to be a threat to art because humanity's capacity to create things is literally our most powerful strength and calling as a species. It's the instinct that advanced our species to this point, and onward. No matter how big and scary genAI feels, people will always continue to create no matter what. Humans can literally lose their limbs and still make art with their mouths. Like absolutely nothing can stop us.

[wow-an-unfunny-joke]

I’m doing a project on Gulper Eels (aka Pelican Eels, Pelican Gulpers, or Umbrella-mouth Gulpers)

And- these fuckers don’t even look REAL-

A lot of deep sea critters, you see them and you understand Lovecraft’s fear of the ocean

But some of these guys-

LOOK AT HIM! HES SO STUPID LOOKING!

THIS IS MY IDIOT SON WHO I HATE HIS NAME IS BONGWATER AND HE HAS EVERY DISEASE!!!!!!!

The Favorite Line/Section posts are back, I guess. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Once it’s pulled tight, she tucks the corner between the towel and her armpit real snug, and kneels down to grope outside the tub in her messenger bag. Finally, her palm finds the little holes in the handle of her pretty new knife, from which she so recently washed her brother's blood, her own hair, and her mother's vomit. It's shaping up to be one for the history books.

About Me: A 2025 Writeblr Intro

Hello! Apparently I've made something of a habit of refreshing my introduction at the start of the new year, so here we go again!

As the url suggests, I'm Teri, and I write. Mostly novels, mostly fantasy, but a bit of a smorgasbord when it comes to short stories. What you can typically expect to find in my writing are close and complicated family/friend dynamics, playing around with worldbuilding, themes often around trust and paranoia, and more!

I've got a page for various WIPs I've posted about, a couple of which I'll briefly touch on below.

I set out a few goals for myself back at the start of 2024, and managed to accomplish 3/4. For 2025, I've been trying to piece together a few more:

Revise the 2nd and start the 3rd draft of Beyond Alder Creek

As always, try to crack 100K words worth of writing/brainstorming/etc.

Focusing more on the more formal craft side of writing/dedicating more time to actually improving my skills, which leads me into the goal I set out for 2024 and didn't finish:

Read back through my old NaNoWriMo(/whatever we're calling it now) drafts, both for entertainment and to sort of assess the kind of progress I've made over the past 14 Novembers (with the acknowledgment that November writing emphasizes quantity over quality ofc).

There are a few other goals I'd like to toss out, like going back to a few WIPs that I've set on the back-burner for the past couple years, but I think formally setting out a couple feels more realistic.

With that, here are some of the WIPs to look out for in 2025:

Beyond Alder Creek | Revising Draft 2 | Tag: #bac

When Winnie's little brother is stolen by the fae, she finds she has no choice but to risk venturing into their home, the Beyond, to bring him back. But in order to protect herself in this topsy-turvy new world, Winnie deliberately crafts a cautious deal with one of its residents, a golden fae with a grudge against her brother's kidnapper.

The Lies in the Legend | Drafting | Tag: #litl

A fictional autobiography of an elven noblewoman recalling her various, highly publicized diplomatic exploits and warning her readers about the dangers of aggrandizing and villifying figures like herself in the public eye.

Castle on the Hill | Revising Draft 1 | Tag: #coth

Five West German young men work through a year of university in the 1960s, coping with a drastically shifting political landscape as the emerging generation comes to terms with their nation's past and look ahead to its future.

With that, here's to a new year!
