Death and Awakening

Burning. Burning is the only sensation to come to me in the darkness of death. The fire searing through my veins, burning me alive from the inside out. It radiates out from the center of my chest to the tips of my fingers and toes, burning every living nerve in its path. My blood boils and bubbles under my skin.

In my years on earth, I have never felt such pain, such unbearable agony, than at this moment. The unrelenting fire continues to burn me, to kill me from the inside, stopping my heart, slowing my blood flow, and locking my body into a petrified state.

Please, I beg whatever might be listening.

I do not want to hurt.

I do not want to die.

Please.

A different voice than my own, a voice but not a voice at all, an unrecognizable rumble, answers me. And then the pain fades. Slowly, the fire turns to frigid ice, washing through my veins and cooling the burns left behind, numbing the lingering aches until I don’t feel anything.

I miss the pain the moment it’s gone, the only tether holding me to any semblance of life, leaving me with nothing at all except endless darkness.

The darkness into which they banished me seems to welcome me with open arms, wrapping its layers of shadow and black around me, pulling me deeper and deeper into the void until it was all I could see, all I could hear or feel or taste.

Nothing.

@dyrewrites @goodluckclove @fortunatetragedy

She sounds insanely fucking cool, thanks for sharing (and my guess is that her fic is in the Skyrim or Witcher fandom, who knows I could be VERY wrong)

Thank you! She is not a Skyrim or Witcher OC but those are very reasonable guesses based on what I wrote :)

OC Interview

Thank you for the tag @phoenixradiant!

I'm gonna do two of my antagonists and two of the most fundamentally opposite people in my WIP : Wadikir and Zatar

Were you named after anyone?

Wadikir: "Was I named after anyone? I'm not sure I fully understand the question? Most everyone is, aren't they? Hmmm? There was some first Wadakir, right?" He twirls his hair between his fingers, head tilted, his lips curled into an obnoxious smile. "What's your name? Eh, nevermind that doesn't matter. No, I do not know of any relations of mine that share my name."

Zatar: "My sister says I was named after our grandfather. Never met him. He might be dead. If he's not he might as well be."

When was the last time you cried?

Wadikir: "Cried...oh dear, a politician doesn't just talk about those things for free you know? But the last time that I cried hmm...oh I know! I lost a ship off the coast of Ikopesh about two weeks ago! Half a ton of Namutian Ivory...in some beast's belly now, ugh. Not to mention the price for replacing the vessel."

Zatar: "The day I was kicked out of the brothel where I used to live with my sister. I didn't want to sleep in the gutters again. I got over it."

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

Wadikir: "Do I use sarcasm? Only as often as I use my tongue!"

Zatar: "Sarcasm doesn't fill your belly."

What is the first thing you notice about people?

Wadikir: "Their hair! Is it combed, has it been cut recently, do they have the money to take care of it? Are they bald like an Apunian? Is it braided like a northerner? You can tell alot by a head of hair."

Zatar: "Their body."

Scary movies or happy endings?

Wadikir: "Hmm...I'll say scary. It's exciting, getting that little thrill! I already deal with enough happy endings."

Zatar: "I don't really like stories..."

Any special talents?

Wadikir: "Oh! I can write with both hands at the same time! I can stack tablets as high as me, I can do a handstand, I can thread a needle with one hand..." He continues to list random 'talents' seemingly without end.

Zatar: "I'm a hunter. I hunt."

What sort of sports do you play?

Wadikir: "Ugh sports...my father wanted me to wrestle. Do I look like I can wrestle? If I want to be grounded, I'll just have more business meetings with Makorans. I prefer games, exercises of the mind."

Zatar: "I've never played any."

How tall are you?

Wadikir: "I'm 6'1", impressed? Don't be, I'm so thin I could probably slip through the gaps in door frames if I wanted to!"

Zatar: He shrugs. He is a huge man, nothing compared to someone like Narul, but amongst humans he is imposing at about 6'7".

What was your favorite subject in school?

Wadikir: "I didn't go to a school, but don't worry I'm educated. Debate has always tickled me."

Zatar: He stares at you.

What is your dream job?

Wadikir: "Hmmm...King of the Green Sea! Wait no...too much to do then...hmmm...come back to me and I'll let you know."

Zatar: "Serving my king."

design the clothing of a fantasy group of swamp people with me!

sorry for the wait on this, I fell into a depression hole for a few days but I have managed to climb out now and here we go! ☺️

As explained in this post, I want to invite y'all on this journey with me to design the clothing of the Iba du Dahg ("people of the swamp"), a group of Aleketur Inhuman people living in monster-infested Fury Swamp. I would love to hear your input on my ideas, for y'all to add your own ideas, and I would ESPECIALLY love if y'all drew out your own ideas and designs and shared them!! But it is not required at all.

Okay, just going to show the initial sketches I have done for their travel clothing and I'll explain my thought process as we go (for the full thought process and info, plus little mannequin sketches you can use to draw over if you want to also do some designs, check this google doc)

these are far from the final, cohesive designs, they're just me throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks.

As explained in the google doc, the clothing they wear when out and about in the swamp would, I think, mostly be greens and browns to blend in with their surroundings, and I really like the idea that they cover/stylize inevitable mud stains by incorporating a kind of reverse-ombre effect with a lot of their clothing. I also think they would include a lot of alligator-inspired iconography, motifs, and imagery—scales, teeth and claws, etc—so I tried to include those where I could.

The hat is so Function AND Fashion I really love it. But my FAVORITE thing I made so far is:

LOOK HOW CUTE! It doesn't really go with the outfit that I put it on top of but THIS MOSS COWL IS SO GREAT I'm totally going to knit one for myself when I have the chance. Look at those cute lil mushyrooms!!

I also did some super quick sketches of some under-clothing:

And that is about all I have so far. I'm going to be focusing on more traditionally masculine travel clothing designs next, while also seeing if y'all have any input or ideas, and once that is done I'll move on to the in-village clothing, which should be really fun because we get to use a lot more colors and have to worry a lot less about function.

Let me know your thoughts!!

It's annoying to me that Richard is actually a good orator

Our first look into the Arena, but we'll get to know it quite well by the end of this half-Episode.

Meet ... The Rebel.

Chapter Three

It took Shadow a minute to remember where he was. The faces of the posters on the walls were stuck with knives, from in-bed target practice he guessed. There were more clothes on the floor than hanging in the closet, and there was something under the pillow. He pulled it out and for a moment didn't process what he was seeing.

“I fucking knew it,” he muttered as he stared at the well-worn, faded band shirt. He got up, now wide awake and armed with the shirt, mentally practicing how he'd confront Veronica about it. He went to find her, not expecting to get the air knocked out of him as soon as he rounded the corner into her living room.

He landed on his back, wheezing as he caught his breath. Veronica had been waiting in ambush to tackle him and his annoyance about the shirt flared up into full-blown anger.

“What the fuck Veronica?” he managed, glaring up into blue eyes that were already drilling into him. He briefly thought that this was the closest they'd been in years as she straddled his waist and pinned his arms above his head, her lips pulled into a snarl.
