I did it.

I finished the first draft for "I am not dead",

I am going to hate editing.

But until them, I am going to stare at it.

Because I did it.

I finally did something.

•°☆All hail, all hail, the dark queen! Tis I, the soup fairy!☆°•

What is your character's least favorite texture? What about it makes their skin crawl?

Well hello hello soup fairy, the best fairy of them all 💙

Hmm, now who to chose? I know, the one character that gets irked by almost anything.

For IAND:

Twilight hates almost every texture and sensation against his skin known to man. He doesn't like touching or being touched. But the worse for him is anything cold. If he gets a beer, it will be in a bottle warmer or something to cover it up so he doesn't feel the cold. He hates the winter and wearing gloves irks him to no end.

This aversion for everything and almost anything is because of the ghosts he helps pass over. They are fucking cold, icy, unnerving.

dark does NOT want to get its bag wet. beige helps to prevent that

**NEW CHAPTER**

Brothers talk. Discoveries are made. Pizzas are assembled. Confessions are told.

Mickey has divulged some pretty serious information, possibly taking their relationship a step further, but Ian's reaction... might just take the cake.

[kitwatson]

WE ARE GOING TO GET THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE WICKED POWERS

[wayfinderships]

Good morning gamers! Hope you're all doing well! Feels like a hot minute since I did one of these-afksbfksbfk I admittedly haven't been the best but we keep going!

I watched a bit of this one anime called D.elico's nursery yesterday and it seems interesting but I think I'll wait till more episodes are out before I watch it fully. That being said, that one blond guy...👉👈 Ngl for a while I couldn't tell if the character was a boy or girl for a while-akfsnfkdn

Also I played some O.ctopath T.raveler yesterday and it was fun!! :> There's a certain character that's caught my eye but I'm trying to not get any crushes-afksnfkd I feel like I have too many and I start to feel bad if I get too many ^^"

Can they really do that?

If they really can....

5: It's overwhelming

6: Sohoku is the top!!

Sohokuu!!

Pag 16

2: Back then, we were first years, and they were so strong and overwhelming that we could only think that our senpais were incredible

6: They worked so hard to prepare for that

Pag 17

3: That's right!!

Like this

Pag 24

4: Thanks to Naruko-kun, the first half will be easy

Yeah

While Naruko-kun is in the lead, we'll be protected from the wind

6: By the way

Pag 25

1: Kinaka and Rokudai.... until the last moment, they weren't at the start line with us

Ye-yeah

2: I- I'm sure they ran late while getting ready.... and are now hesitant to cut through everyone to come to the front

I guess they're starting from way behind us

3: I don't see them at all

4: Do we leave them behind?

You're so quick to make a decision!!

5: They were too flustered, chosing them was a mistake

Your humor is too dry, Imaizumi-kun!

6: Let's wait for them

We can't do that

Ehhh

7: No, seriously speaking

Pag 26

1: If they can't get here by themselves, then we don't need them

2: This race

3: also serves as the team members selection

Pag 27

3: I.... in the end we ended up at the very end of the line, teh

4: Is Imaizumi-san in the lead?

Pag 28

1: And there are so many people, the density is so different from that of middle school's races!!

Ngh!! I can't get used to this way of riding!!

2: I'm sorry, it's because I took too much time in getting ready, teh

And now you, Kinaka-kun-

3: Whataver, there's no use in talking about it now

Anyway, let's go up to where Onoda-san and the other are!!

4: If we can't get to them

5: Our race ends now!!

[lyatudor]

6 more chapters to draft.

6 more chapters.

6 more.

6.

STOP FUCKING ADDING CHAPTERS!

[whatwouldvalerydo]

10 & 14 for the IAND characters of your choice 💙

See, now see, there would be some I would really like to talk about but I can't without spoilers, but I will try?

Does your OC enjoy watching others suffer?

All I can say about this character is yes and no. The reason behind it is that their empathetic levels are almost nonexistent and they don't really know the difference between good and bad. They know scared though, frightened to a level of unseen depths.

They villain song could be: Evanescence - field of innocence

Not necessarily evil as it is more tragic.

[fishymom-art]

i finished season 4 of magnus archives and i am NOT okay

everyone's traumatized, but 4 lesbians, a muffin gay and a terrified asexual got a little win so that's good

[comradedelusional]

i miss my favourite white boy

[regardstosoulandromance]

me for the millionth time: HOW do you edit a novel.

[remembertheplunge]

Write the Story. Write what happened.

1/20/23

I feel down and overwhelmed. I think the work is depressing. Surrounded by darkness and its impacts. So, I hit the gym on the way home. 30 minute treadmill. 3 gorgeous young guys there.

Reading the ’95 journal in court. Amazing how reading it there can have an impact on the present. And, I’m living at two times at once. 1995 and 2023.

1/21/23 Saturday 8:33pm

Sweet day. I felt peaceful during the gym workout. And drive to San Fransisco

Lots of people on the road. I think they’ve been scared to travel because of the storms. So, today, they let loose.

Hit intense entries in the ’95 journal. Read them at Poise’s Cafe and at Harvey’s Restaurant. 4/13 and 14, 1995 and 4/13/1996 margin notes about office and court house gay bashing. A poster posted on my cubicle door contained my face on a woman’s body. Some one had written on it “This could be you.” I was angry as I read the ’95 entry. Then I remembered that I’m a writer telling a story. My personal emotions now didn’t matter. Write the story. Write what happened . So, I did.

The friendly gay  Harvey’s waiter who I had discussed the ’95 entries with said “It’s (gay) history.

I skipped the open water swim in Aquatic Park. I overslept and was late getting to San Fransisco this morning. I wanted too write in the Castro before my 3pm massage near Union Square.

The spring of ’95 was a horrendously cruel time. 3 strikes and office abuse. I’d forgotten what happened then. I told my massage therapist that my subconscious has decided that it’s ok for me to know now. I can see why I am so distant and silent now.

End of entries.

Note:

In the spring of 1995 I was a deputy public defender in Modesto, California. I was doing 3 strikes life representation case and was the subject of a hostile work environment , gay related, at times. It's now time to write and to post the story. So, that's what I do. It's just hard to relive through the telling. It's also illuminating.
