🪡!

thank u for asking! i am going to talk about elaena + alinora for this bc they actually have a relationship in pirate's bane and im enjoying it thoroughly

SO. elaena is a reaper. the first reaper. death's oldest daughter. it's a big deal. she's basically a minor goddess as far as the people of eldora are concerned. she's an immortal being, been around for ages, & she will not hesitate to remind u of that fact. that said. she won't admit it, but. she's also really fucking lonely.

yes, there are other reapers. but she's their first. they look up to her. & she feels awkward around them, a lot. it's ODD for her to interact with them, so she just... doesn't? really? the little ones, maybe, but. otherwise... no. and the other gods' spirits are... much the same way. elaena is older than most of them, and the ones she's not, she either doesn't get on with or doesn't have time to spend with them now that fate has forced fear to go to war with them.

so. she's lonely.

and then she gets assigned to watch over alinora, & help along the various components of kai'os resistance, and... well. one thing leads to another, and now she's training death's champion. so she's definitely not bored or lonely anymore.

& then there's alinora, who was also really fucking lonely---though she would sooner stab someone than admit it. maybe literally. she lost her people, then spent ten years living with her guard up, wondering if the next day would be the day that kai'os finally sent someone to apprehend and/or kill her. she didn't make friends. she didn't want to lose them, or find out one of them had betrayed her.

and then she joined the group and ALMOST let herself have friends again, before [REDACTED]. and now she's training with elaena, in the celestial realms.

& like... it's rocky at first. alinora doesn't trust easily & she doesn't want to let anyone in, for fear of getting hurt. elaena has similar issues---being immortal, making friends with mortals is. difficult. but they have no choice but to spend time together, so! bit by bit, things change.

they grow closer, as they learn more about each other through... proximity & time spent together (though admittedly, elaena has an advantage, having spent a lot of time watching over alinora). elaena is able to ignore alinora's prickliness & get to know the actual person beneath, and alinora doesn't mind when elaena says off-the-wall things or acts reapery. they also share a similar sense of humor, which helps.

by the time PB rolls around, the two are able to communicate without words (which actually happens in a scene, but. i can't share it bc spoilers, rip). they banter a LOT, & are generally pretty in sync. also, as of the moment, they're the only ones who actually. Know about the whole fate thing, & secret keeping is always such a lovely bonding experience :P

[ send me a 🪡 (threaded needle) and i will tell u about some of my character dynamics ]

[lefttigerobservation]

oh @vivji you're gonna make me cry. thank u waya you are a wonderful human with a lovely sense of humour, a genuine good light in my day <3

[mecharose]

I’m going to be real in my head you’re the Gamer mutual. I can’t explain why only that I know you played Skyrim(?) and one other and that automatically makes me go “gamer! (politely)”

[wilddogsdivorce]

🦈 :o!

[transcript: WAYAA hello! i could say i kinda look up to you – your writing inspires me and your typing style makes me more confident in my own, if it's. normal to say LMAO, i'm so glad to be your friend!]

[goose-books]

for the document titles game mrm...

forbidden quark notes

choke

darkling [act two]

forbidden quark notes but of course! quark notes is the general document where i just. throw stuff that i’m thinking about quark that usually makes no sense <3 but i can offer you a conversation between shade and marble! aka heirs to a magical cult who have a tense relationship based around being... foils, among other things. (context here: marble’s been out traveling for eight months.)

Shade looks sideways at him. Marble’s hands flash. In sign language: “Sorry.”

Shade’s sorry, too, for what he didn’t say but thought about saying. But he doesn’t say that; he answers with, “Don’t treat me like a liability.”

“If either of us is a liability…” Marble’s hands go still, the equivalent of an implicatory trailing-off.

His face is blank as ever, but Shade knows him, knows it’s meant to lighten the moment. He allows his mouth to curve up very slightly, a calculated cool movement. And then, before he can think about it, he signs: “If I’d been really low, I would have called you.”

Marble doesn’t hesitate a single beat: “And I would have come home.”

It turns Shade’s stomach. It sets a much less calculated smile to tugging at his lips. “Just like that? Across the country?”

“Right away.”

Shade can’t look at his face anymore, because he doesn’t want to witness Marble’s blinding earnesty; he focuses instead on the broad pale hands. “So much for your grassroots groups.”

“Fuck my grassroots groups.”

“You’re a jackshit politician, Marble.”

“You’re a good one. I don’t hold that against you.”

I missed you, Shade thinks but does not say. I missed you, I missed you, I missed you.

choke is another item on the "things to post once i actually have the brainpower to post a full piece” list; it’s a short story based off of othello (but like. with lesbians) that i wrote, like... the night i finished othello dkfhsdkhfbdsfks. hands you the first line:

You always said I could tell you my secrets, so here’s number one: I didn’t know he was going to kill you when I married him.

and darkling [act two] aka the darkling act i just finished editing yesterday! apparently i’m just throwing excerpts into these asks like darts huh.

“Rory,” Leovald says. Quieter. Breathing hard.

Rory waves.

“You don’t think I’m crazy.”

“Oh, don’t you know, we’re all mad here! I’m mad, you’re mad--” “Rory.”

Much quieter. Near desperate.

Rory clings to the photo in their hands and kicks a leg against the desk hard and says, “No, I don’t think you’re crazy,” and they almost say, “I think you’re an asshole, but I don’t think you’re crazy,” but what they say near-accidentally is, “Do you think you’re crazy?” a lot more aggressively than they mean it.

Leovald doesn’t answer. He just stands there, propping himself up on the desk, panting. And then the tension drains from his shoulders, quite suddenly, like he’s been punctured and deflated. He pulls his swivel chair out, collapses into it like a landslide, puts his face in his hands and breathes.

(ask me about my stupid, stupid document titles)

[snowinks]

🎶 + a character of your choice!

waya hi!! I'll do vesper 💖

lyric wise...

I get to watch you grow up now and make me proud

Make all of the mistakes that make me laugh

Oh, darling, Lord, how you make me laugh

Get drunk for me, sing louder than you've sung for me

Grow young each time that thunder in your lungs

Begins to rumble at the world

'Cause you were always strong

When you were young, you'd kick things just to see if they would fall

They said, "That girl, she's wrong"

But I'll stick up for you, even though you haven't got a clue

You haven't got a fucking clue

[ratdesk]

🐝💙🐝 they are in love. (mirroring you ask for that game)

OHHH I HAD TO THINK ABOUT THIS.... objectively my answer should be benji but i have a fondness for vivian!!! i'm benji coded, i look at vivian and go :0!

honorable mention to polaris from draft 1 of wtwg, i just think she is neat 🥺

[spencecreates]

for a pirate’s love is the sea! — is there any particular events you’re looking forward to/excited to write? and is there any character you wound up liking more than you initially thought you would?

the villain confrontation... it’s going to be lots of fun. and risley! he’s. kind of a dick but it’s a well earned personality, he’s get a bigger place than i originally planned

[goosemixtapes]

7, 42 and 99 :3

7 - the first step by will wood and the tapeworms!

42 - godhunter by aviators

99 - the shark by we are match

[milfbenji]

benji and vivian soft drabble. but at a cost

[thelittlestspider]

2 & 4 for the ask game!

2. Overall, would you say you are more driven by plot or characters in writing? (What makes you more excited about an idea?)

it depends lmao. a lot of the time i just have a concept stuck in my head, then I build everything around that concept.

the blackwood school wip was vaguely inspired by the magic school bus, xmen, and a voice from darkness. i was like, "what would a supernatural school be like in the orphan country verse?" and the answer is chaotic.

4. INSPIRATION. What inspires you the most?

everything. i know that sounds like a total copout lol. books, music, podcasts, art, articles, videos, movies. i started bibliographies for all my wips so i could keep track of the different inspirations, and so people could look at them too as I add to them.

like ph for example has a ton of different influences. i can't list them all right here bc there's too many but a few are: practical magic by alice hoffman (and the movie), scooby doo, hunger games, a voice from darkness, alice isn't dead, phantom of the opera, and a lot of other ones.

[vorskra]

VALL. HI <3 You asked about wips so I’ve come to tell you that I’m currently working on edge of the lonely quiet since it has about 6-8 chapters left before the whole story is finally finished which IS exciting but I’m so nervous and dreading actually ending it because I love this version of my characters and this story so much kkhkshjsb so I’m currently being avoidant on actually writing it… but that’s also because I may have…. created 3 other wips to be avoidant with 😳

HI HELLO HELLO <3 I MISSED YOU SOOOO <3

JUST 6-8 CHAPTERS? :O I'm so shook I can't believe you're almost done with eotlq that's so cool! ashjcvas that's understandable tho I get being nervous about finishing something but also still you're so creative and an amazing writer I'm sure you'll finish it and create more and more versions and new worlds and they'll all be incredible 🤧

Please do talk more about your projects I sure miss you going feral about them!

[lefttigerobservation]

HELLO BLUE. Happy birthday!! I hope it’s a very lovely one and that you’re well 💙

thank you dear waya!!

[the-finch-address]

wip without context (tag)

@squid-scribe tagged me because I begged and cried and stomped my feet about it.  I’m obsessed with this idea guys.

RULES: You know those old fandom posts about an episode or a movie of a show and it's like '(x) media without spoilers / out of context' and its like four really dumb meme pictures that reference what happens in the media without actually explaining it? Yeah. This is just that but with your own wips. Go nuts.

Using The Dog Yard for this! Might do the rest later though
