WIP ask game <3

rules: post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. send me an ask with the title that most intrigues you and i’ll post a little snippet of it or tell you something about it! then tag as many people as you have WIPs.

that was a mouthful.

anyway!!! i have been for whatever reason So bad at doing these tag games, but thank you so much to @inabottlelikelightning , @edge0fmydesiree , and @attempted--eloquence for tagging me in this :) i don’t actually have a lot of WIPs going right now, but i’ll tell you about them + some other ideas i’ve been toying with lately. most of these aren’t actually WIPs and more just Favorite Ideas.

i title pretty much all of my fics after songs or lyrics now, so consider this one like a little mystery game - pick a song, find out a plot. ;)

1. NEW ROMANTICS (taylor swift) cause baby i could build a castle / out of all the bricks they threw at me / and every day is like a battle / but every night with us is like a dream / baby, we’re the new romantics / come on, come along with me / heartbreak is the national anthem / we sing it proudly / we’re too busy dancing / to get knocked off our feet / baby, we’re the new romantics / the best people in life are free

2. MY TEARS RICOCHET (taylor swift) and i can go anywhere i want / anywhere i want, just not home / and you can aim for my heart, go for blood / but you would still miss me in your bones / and i still talk to you / when i’m screaming at the sky / and when i can’t sleep at night / you hear my stolen lullabies

3. NEON BIBLE (arcade fire) oh god, well look at you now / oh, you lost it but you don’t know how / in the light of a golden calf / oh god, i had to laugh / take the poison of your age / don’t lick your fingers when you turn the page / it was wrong but you said it was right / in the future i will read at night

4. MOON SONG (phoebe bridgers) you are sick, and you’re married / and you might be dying / but you’re holding me like water in your hands / when you saw the dead little bird, you started crying / but you know the killer doesn’t understand

5. TREACHEROUS (taylor swift) put your lips close to mine / as long as they don’t touch / out of focus, eye-to-eye / till the gravity’s too much / and i’ll do anything you say / if you say it with your hands / and i’d be smart to walk away / but you’re quicksand

6. INVISIBLE STRING (taylor swift) cold was the steel of my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart / now i send their babies presents / gold was the color of the leaves when i showed you around Centennial park / hell was the journey but it brought me heaven / time, wondrous time / gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies / and it’s cool, baby, with me / and isn’t it just so pretty to think / all along there was some / invisible string / tying you to me?

Like it says above, feel free to send asks about any of these!!! I’ll be happy to answer. I’m not tagging anybody in this because I figure that I’ve taken long enough that all the people I normally tag have been tagged already (small circle lol) but feel free to do it if you want to :) <3

New grydscaen Hacker Logo Designs

New Year New grydscaen - Cyberpunk Reboot 2021

Today I started desgning new logos for the cyberpunk "grydscaen" series to kickoff the new round of hacker character designs WIP for the "grydscaen: hack the mainframe" RPG trading card game promos and kickoff of my new newsletter and the release of the new release of the special edition "grydscaen: the seal maker 2nd edition with a cool new cover featuring bio hacker Hiro Yamaguchi the Velveet Hour terrorist who bombs the subway. The first logo design featured in this post is the mascot avatar for the illusive DNA data pirate anti-government rebel hacktivist group, the Black Holes lead who claim militiant strategist and mastermind Gryphon as their leader.

The idea behind the new designs was the re-release of four grydscaen books specifically grydscaen: war book 2 when the Atlantea Federation attach the Pacific Territories in the City, grydscaen: alliance book 3 when Packrat Saicho and leader Faid Callen is wounded starting an internal Packrat civil war, and grydscaen: insurrection boook 4 where the Psi Faction team is deployment direct to the Atlantea Federation homeland of Londes on mission with the Esset battlefleet aboard the Battleship Escalon.

These re-relases are accompanied by the new WIP release currently in galley edits grydscaen: idol whihc focuses on one of the main musicians that pops up in the grydscaean story, the glam rock band, Athens with lead singer Hibiki Sato and drummer Takira Mizutani as they train to become rock stars at IHS Music Academy inn the Echelons. Plus was have the second edition re-release with a fully re-written storyline of the flagship grydscaen title, the first book published in the dystopian cyberpunk series grydsacen: retribution which Kirkus Reviews called "anime-esque and well written" and Rainbow Gold Reviews called "dark adn gritty, an unpolished gem... as dark as it gets" for a new decade renamed to grydscaen: revolution featuring the Packrat leader Faid Callen startng a hacker revolution and all new cover art featuring the same character on the original cover which was drawn while I was studying animation inn art school the clandestine psychic operative and damper Julian "Blue" Iskafiin.

The Black Holes Logo Concept

I wanted to kickoff the new logo designs with bold hard black-and-white lines with hard angle fonts, gritty graphitti-like urban warfare logo gamer graphics and a bold statement. I started with the hacker group the Black Hole because they are the most militant of the rebel anti-government hacker gangs in the grydscaen series.

The character gryphon is central to the climax of the book grydscaen: dark after Jester wipes the Triumvirate leader Zoon's memory. Though we see him in other books, this is the first time we actually get a close iinsight into his personality. That messed-up narcissistic militant view of a harsh world full of goernment corruption and lies shapes gryphons view and drives him. I wanted to have the Black Holes logo be sort of subversive and edgy so went with a sneering mask feel. The blue highlight colour I chose to resemble to blue sky before the nuclear bomb which is now shrouded in a reddist lightening toxic colour left over from the uceal explosion caused by the Dionysis Effect which forev rendered the sky red lightening covered innn radioactive fallout. The blue is a hint at Grypon's soft spot hidden deep within his militant harsh exterior.

The grydscaen Hacker Factions

There are many hacker factions in the grydscaen series. Each group has a particular purpose. They include:

- The Black Holes - DNA Data Pirates led by Gryphon

- The Packrats - Anti-government Psychic Cyberterrorists led by Faid Callen

- Velvet Hour - Climate Terrorist Bio Hackers led by Rafe

- The Terror Hack - Anti-Government Rebel Hactivists led by Mage

- Jester Hacker Guild (JHG) - Anti-Corporate Blackhat Hackers led by Jester

- Clannet - Organized Crime Drug Gang Directed by Drug Dealer Wraith

- The Soul Deep - Jet Jockey Underground led by Hacker Informant Jazz

The Packrats Clan is then further broken down into sub-groups called "inner factions" which are only recognized internally and include:

Runners led by Ang responsible for runs and psi inducer drugs. Mobile Comand Center led by Dark responsible for the Mobile Frames. Wastes led by Set later Naito Sennish, the main Packrats fighters . Acolytes run by Elite Level 9 hacker Acoyle formerly of Terror Hack. Prophets led by Aseth who act as spiritual gides for the Packrat clan. Hosts whose members are hosts and escorts. The rules for these groups are all layed out in the Packrat Code which is included in the series bible, a sort of fandom encylopedia of characters, locations, drugs, political factions, warring governments, global powers, rebel hacker groups and terminology used in the grydscaen seriesand included in the appendix of the backstory book grydscaen: beginnings.

Hacker Logo Design Plans

All logos will be black and white with a single highlight colour for each group with the Black Holes colour as neon blue. The designs will be timed to the re-release of grydscaen: revolution and hoping to have them all completed by the indie release of the tech noir series sequel to grydscaen: dark and grydscaen: scout with the new novelette called grydscaen: zero day.

My Next Logo Design

Next design will be the bio hacker terrorist group Velvet Hour and the new 18 year old host Nier Ishida the petulant and flamboyantly gay younger brother to Sakama Ishida the Psi Faction Night Team Lead and psychic operative. Sakama can use the technique "witch blood" spiritual which is a psychicinduced medium power of the Prophets first highlighted in book 10, the final book in the main grydscaen series titled grydscaen: imperium.

Top one is china marker, the rest are Prismacolor Turquoise HB pencil and Koh-I-Noor “Magic” fire-color pencil

FYI I’m still working on this basset hound comic even though it didn’t get into the anthology I pitched it to. I still have to tell the story. It’ll be a while though. But I’m gonna start posting WIP stuff on my instagram.

[supersymmetrys]

You know what's this guy's issue? That he's thinking of his sister while talking to his fiancee.

[transcript under the cut]

“I have to go, Alba. I don't want your family getting the wrong idea if I stay the night.” Felipe takes her hands again and now it’s Alba who breaks out of his grip, shaking her head. “Alba, come on…”

“For God's sake, Felipe, we’re going to get married,” Felipe shakes his head listening to her, if he was talking to her sister, he would scold her for saying the lord’s name in vain.

TAG GAME: LAST LINE

Thanks for the tag @zorya-km :>

The last line I wrote for Neon Bible:

"Well, you look very handsome tonight. Except for this,” Alba grabs a towel from her dresser and wipes Felipe's cheek, showing him the red lipstick stain. "I like it, but my mother would be scandalized."

I'm tagging @believemenatalie @godivamalcolm and @ofgoldenfools :>

Oh yeah, Camp Nano's notes are going great.

[supersymmetrys]

Hello everyone, my name is Artemis and this is my (re) introduction to the writeblr community, I will try to use this account more since I'm trying to get back into writing!

Basic info ;

My name is Artemis, I'm 21 years old and my pronouns are she/her. I follow from my main blog @girltomripley !!

I'm Mexican, English is not my first language so I write most of my stuff in Spanish, but I sometimes translate it in case I want to share it with someone else.

Some of my favorite stuff: Taylor Swift, movies (my top 4: The Talented Mr. Ripley, Somewhere, Broadcast News, and Ghost World), Silvia Moreno García books, 60s-90s Hollywood, alternative rock music, Taylor Jenkins Reid books.

What I like to write about: Dramedy stories, often set in the 20th century, family drama, father/daughter relationships (bonus points if they're not actually related), road trip stories, characters of color, women leads, and queer relationships.

I am currently studying illustration and concept art in college, so other than writing, drawing is something I also enjoy doing (and I hope to share here as well).

While I don't post a lof of NSFW stuff (and if I do, I'll tag it), I'd prefer if you were at least over 16 if you want to be mutuals!

Please interact with this post so we can be mutuals! And don't be afraid to send me an ask/message me to talk about your own stories/ask about mine!

My WIP'S ;

While I do have multiple of unfinished works in progress, most of them are just ideas or fanfics. My main WIP and probably the one I'll talk about the most is In the Angel's City:

In the Angel's City (drama) ; A hollywood story following a screenwriter and her search for answers behind the death of a famous star; all with the help of a retired actor who disappeared from the public eye.

(more stories under the cut)

Andy You're A Star! (thriller) ; Things turn sinister for average Andy when he meets dark and mysterious James, who drags him along a murderous path (based on The Killers' songs!!)

Neon Bible (horror) ; A small town in Mexico is divided when the child of one of the most important families starts claiming to hear voices and see things that aren't there: half the town believes it must be the devil's work while the other tries to find a medical solution. The situation escalates with the arrival of a foreign guest, who clashes immediately with one of the most beloved and respected men in town.

Game & Performance (drama) ; Carmen, a problematic CEO of a makeup brand decides to escape to a Greek island with her husband after being accused of scamming her clients. Carmen worsens her problems by starting a relationship with a man much younger than her.
