Arias for Other Shores Salt and blood, water and tears lapping shores. Unbeknownst for ten thousand years, this beast. Isolation and forest groves, the East Bounding with quiet unknown loves and wars. The sun rises, with beams of light, its voice soars. Documents and ancient tomes, their pages creased. Locusts, maggots, and carrion will feast. The Old World fires raged through the night. One final moonrise to bid farewell, One final dance, one stage-play, one fight One glide, one final descent into hell. Three look north, two see nothing, one has sight. Heavens dance ballet, and singers’ breasts swell. -These Other Coasts, opening sonnet

My LEGENDARY friend Jaki made some more fan art, this time of Queen Rachel: the most girlboss girlie to ever have her inheritance stolen from her and definitely hasn't ever done anything problematic.

The sequel to The Backwater, These Other Coasts, is coming soon!!

GtWAC Day 2: Bonus Prompt cause brainrot be rottin

More size shifter appreciation -

A size shifter with a great deal of control over their ability (the same way one would control their body- like yes you may "flinch" but aside from shock/fear/pain/exhaustion, your limb isn't going to move on its own) who is relentlessly simping over someone.

Like I'm taking that confidence that cannot be phased by rejection, baby I'd be so good to you, chasing after their love like a puppy dog kind of simping (A la Shoresy) and they are using the full breadth of their powers to aid in accomplishing this.

Did they just get their powers? Or did their love interest catch them in the act so its just like "welp, cats out of the bag, in for a penny in for a pound" ?

They're trying their darndest to fluster their crush. Growing large to lean over them- cue a cheesy pick up line about being a able to give a whole lotta loving. Maybe they say some goofy things trying to woo them like "Give me a chance baby, I'll change all your lightbulbs no step stool required. Please let me clean your gutters- who needs a ladder?"

Big, strong and tall isn't working?? They're shrinking down and playing the cute card "Baby, I can be your Teddy bear." Maybe they're ridiculously over the top- managing to hide themselves in gifts, or serving themselves up with dessert with absolutely atrocious pick up lines of being "such a sweet little snack"

Bonus points if the moment their love interest matches the energy they immediately just short circuit- shy flustered and completely smitten.

G/T WAC Prompt 2:

Scenarios I Want To See More Often

**Cracks knuckles**

Oh baby get ready cause I’m about to freaking rant.

Shrinking: it is my favorite trope of all time. NO ONE UTILIZES IN ANY FUN WAY. Ok I’m sure there are but I hardly see it. Normally a shrinking scene in a fic or show or movie just happens then we move on. Worst off it happens off screen or while the character is passed out or something. Like yeah it’s good for tension but 0 fun points.

But enough complaining time for me to pitch ideas. First of all my favorite kind of shrinking usually happens in universe over the course of a couple minutes, maybe a few hours max if it’s written right. Why? Let me tell you why. Desensitization. If the scene goes on too long the audience and or the character is no longer freaking out over the actual shrinking happen. That being said if it happens over a few second then audience certainly doesn’t have enough time to invest in it. I think a few minutes in universe is the sweet spot.

What is the character doing as they’re shrinking? A lot of the time, especially in visual mediums, they just stand there and let it happen. Maybe they’re freaking out in their heads but that’s the most we ever get. No! GIVE THEM SOMETHING TO DO AS THEIR SHRINKING! What if they decide they need to climb up stairs as they’re shrinking? Will they make it? How much does it take to reach each step the smaller they get? What if shrinking is the solution to a problem? The character shrinks down maybe to hide from someone or something, are they prepping their hiding spot, trying to reach their hiding spot? Maybe they’re holding something that isn’t shrinking with them. Usually see this trope in Alice in Wonderland adaptations with the bottle she drinks staying the same size as she shrinks. Does the character notice it getting heavy? Do they put it down while they still can or drop it and see the aftermath of drooping said item as their shrinking?

What’s the shrink process like? Personally when I write shrinking I love to write it as sudden burst of shrinking rather than a straight forward one. I think it makes the scenario much more fun and chaotic. The character won’t know when they shrink each time, it just suddenly happens. Maybe they shrink an inconsistent size each time, the first time an inch the second time half a foot the third 4 inches, have fun with it. I also love when the shrinking can somehow be controlled. For example I love the idea of someone shrinking whenever they sneeze or hiccup. Like they’re gonna shrink no matter what but maybe if they can hold back that sneeze or hiccup it’ll give them just a little bit more time. Time for what? Something, anything! Open a door, Climb a table, call for help, anything! Also love when this specific trope has the character sneezing/hiccuping in rapid succession and instead of it combining into one burst it individual shrinks them each time. Side note: just have fun reasons/conditions that’ll cause a person to shrink. Every time person A sneezes they shrink or if they say the wrong thing they shrink, or their height is tied to something like a cursed candle that will shrink them when it’s lit. I want more creative scenarios for shrinking.

Another thing, I really like the trope of shrinking out of clothes, I just think it adds more chaos to the whole deal. I don’t like nudity though? It’s weird. Anyways, I like when people can creatively come up with ideas around that. I have a comic I drew in October where the person shrinking has a towel set to the side so when they shrink out of their clothes they have something to immediately change into. Obviously this doesn’t fit every scenario, if the person shrinking didn’t plan for it how will this problem be resolved. I’ve seen scenarios that have characters wear clothes under their normal ones specifically designed to shrink with them to give you the fun of shrinking out of clothes with none of the nudity. I appreciate ideas like that.

My friend @sucker-for-shifters suggested forced shrinking which is one of my favorites. Forced shrinking/not knowing why your shrinking is another one of my top their shrinking tropes! Let’s throw ideas shall we? I like when persona A is actively being shrunk by person b against their will and person A is putting up as much of a fight as they can. Maybe not physically but person A can be trying to keep a level head and not give the satisfaction of seeing them panic. Maybe A is readying the space for their inevitable fate or doing everything in their power to keep person B from capturing them when they get too small. Like it’s a super villain scenario and I think it’s so cool. Also like is someone shrinks cause they were tricked into doing something that triggers it. Drinking a weird potion, wearing an experimental piece of technology, reciting a spell. There’s a lot of ways to do it. Love the sub trope of the size shifter that is normal height then suddenly shrinks under certain circumstances and has to wait it out til they turn back to normal. No control over when or how it happens but can at least prepare for it.

I think I’ve said everything I wanted to on the shrinking trope. Share your shrinking stories or ideas, I’d love to see them.

BONUS PROMPT:

Give me more tinies in G/t scenarios with super powers that aren’t size shifters. No hate to size shifters at all, love them to death. Just think it’s more fun for a tiny to have a random power that gives them an edge over their giant. Love Ant Man, but give me a tiny with super strength or that knows magic or that can duplicate themselves.

PARDON ME but I would like to bring back this OC Dating Sim Game from FOREVER AGO and as about what Mister Eyes' route would be like? For no reason.

for no reason whatsoever you say? 👀 this is actually so funny to think about because like

to call it a romance route would be a misnomer LMAO Eyes doesn't really date. Eyes like,,, fucks. occasionally

HOWEVER

if he decides he trusts you, he will ride or die in a blaze of glory in the attempt. bro is LOYAL

what you get is basically the best friend you could ask for, with benefits if you want them. he wants them, and he might pester for them, but he won't overstep a Firm No

odds favor meeting him in Northside or at Totentanz, depending on what you're doing and why. there's rivals to besties across gang lines potential here, or the classic sighting of a new face across the bar

he will flirt with you, he just isn't looking for romance

to be his bestie during his Maelstrom era will yield you all kinds of perks. all the chrome and drugs your heart desires

he has influence✨️ he has intrigue✨️ he has a reputation that is terrifying✨️ but he's also a dork. he'll be a dork around you. the worst jokes you've ever heard

he'll also drive you up to the best view in the NID with a twac, a pack of cigarettes, and a new album to listen to. you'll halfway listen to the album and halfway have you obligatory monthly heart to heart

to be his bestie after Maelstrom has essentially no perks besides a clown who gives so many shits about everything you say. he may or may not be living on Vik's couch so you can come hang there and watch old boxing reruns for free

his life at that stage is in the gutter but he's still your guy. he's got your back at all times. he might even vote to make those month heart to hearts into bimonthly (twice monthly?) ones

there won't ever be any doubt that you matter to him. sometimes he'll show it through violence, sometimes through granting quiet amid the nonstop bustle of NC

he's also well versed in not being able, for whatever reason, to meaningfully talk and won't push when that's the case for you

take him out to the desert and watch him be gobsmacked by the natural beauty of the world. he'll associate that with you forever

maybe that's love. maybe it's even romantic love, to hear your laughter on the wind and see your face in the stars. he doesn't know and it doesn't much matter, this is enough. this is a privilege

opt in and all of this comes with fucking nasty as hell. this is important. like. mfmfmgnfmfnf the reviews are in and they're positively glowing iykwim

If you like colonial-era inspired low fantasy with political intrigue, moral ambiguity, and ideological struggle, give it a chance!

(There’s a more traditional plot summary on the Amazon page if this meme-y and buzzword filled ad copy isn’t satisfying enough for you literary types. I get it. I was an insufferable English major too.)

GtWAC prompt day ten: shuffle your playlist and write a quick scene

I tried my best, I didn’t fully proofread tho so I apologize if there are any grammatical mistakes

Song inspiration: Heroes by Emmy Curie

“Careful what you wish for” the dragon hissed. The young hero squirmed under her grasp and she dug her claws into the earth around him. He was clearly a fool, an inexperienced glory seeker, just like so many before.

Bunch of wannabes the dragon thought to herself bitterly. All she wanted was some rest. To hunt. To fly. To find a nice cave to call her own, but she never got more than a week of peace before some knight came galloping up to slay her.

and this one was no exception, his armor gleamed, new from the looks of it. Never used. He had moved clumsily in it, wielding a sword far too big for himself. Arrogance. “Didn't anyone tell you” she snarled as she lowered her head towards him, mouth parting, teeth gleaming with drool. “Heroes don’t get happy endings” the heat rose in her throat, ready to burn the idiot to a pile of ash.

his heart was thrumming under her palm, and she relished in the fear she’d inflict during his last moment. Then, he spoke, and her blood ran cold.

“Please” he whimpered. “I’m sorry” he stuttered. Normally she wouldn’t care. Normally she ignored the begging. But this was not the voice of a hero, nor a knight. Not a voice full of pride and arrogance but one filled with inexperience.

She calmed her flame, loosened her grasp only slightly to allow him more breath and then continued to lean down towards him. He yelped, screamed really, as her teeth came down around him. She gently pulled the helmet from his head. And staring up at her, blue eyes wide and wet with tears, was a child.

A man perhaps by human standards… but a young one even for them. “They would send a child to kill me” she hissed, flames once again warming her throat “Do they think of me as some lowly lizard, some easily dispatched pest” she was roaring now. The young man flinched and she reared back lifting him into the air so they could be eye level. She stared expectantly, she wanted an answer.

“O…of course not. They’ve put a bounty on your head. A huge one! Half the king's treasury even” he spouted.

The dragon clicked her tongue disapprovingly “and you seek to claim such a bounty”?

“Yes,” he whispered.

“So are you a fool, or do you have a deathwish”?

“I’m” he paused, considering his words “I’m desperate. I thought if I could complete this bounty, perhaps life would be different for me”.

“Well, life certainly is different when you're dead” she hissed, making him flinch. Her gaze softened, she lowered her claws and released him. He fell in a heap upon the ground, breathing heavily. “Perhaps consider that before you take any more risks, hmmm”?

He looked up at her, obviously surprised she was letting him go “I… I will”.

[entomolog-t]

Honestly, if prepping for GtWAC has taught me anything, it's that I need to keep a list of my favorite fics on hand because I'm sitting here wracking my brain like - "Oh man I remember that one fic with that one character who did that one thing" and cannot remember any specifics.

[might-be-tiny-gt]

G/t WAC: Prompt 1

Post Your Comfort Fic

Super late to this, I know but better late than never.

Firstly wanted to shout out @creatorofuniverses Spirit of Adventure and its sequel Winter of our Discontent which I’m linking bellow

Any murder mystery lovers out there? These are the fics for you! The story follows Nettle a viri (basically a borrower) who can speak to ghosts. Imagine what happens when he gets roped into helping a bunch of cops with a case they thought was open and shut but is way more complicated than they could have ever anticipated. Add in Sheila, Nettle’s ghost friend AND BEST GIRL and you have a fun time.

Love rereading this one it’s just a fun take on the typical tiny gets found by human scenario and god I love Nettle so much. Like he’s tiny but he’s not gonna take shit from anyone, he has so much sass in him I love it. Please go read it!
