Writeblr Intro: Up-to-date Version

About Me:

You can call me Felix. 21 year trans man, he/him pronouns exclusively. I am extremely shy and socially awkward, but I'm trying my best to become more social, mostly by talking in reblog tags, which is my main method of communication around here.

Also I draw, sometimes. I occasionally post my art here, but only very, very rarely.

I am a very big fan of Slay the Princess and Scarlet Hollow, so expect to see reblogs related to them sometimes.

What I Write:

I once would have said write fantasy, but who knows what I write anymore, honestly. Horror mostly, lately, I guess. Regardless of genre, I always write character-focused stories without much of a focus on plot. I often write fairly dark stuff so please be careful around here. Also I have been known to write (and reblog) NSFW writing on occasion. I do make sure to try my best to tag everything appropriately and use mature content labels when applicable, but still. I will also block any minors who interact with my NSFW writing or reblogs. You have been warned.

Below the cut are my currently posted works + info on my WIP, which I shoved down there because this gets long otherwise. Please click on the read more if you're interested.

#this is the first and probably only time i am going to be negative about slay the princess but:#the princess and the dragon is the most overrated route.#i get why people are voting thorn and happily ever after because they're very popular#but i think they're genuinely good routes that deserve their popularity.#while the princess and the dragon just erased spectre's personality and as a massive spectre fan i didn't appreciate that.#people who like the princess and the dragon like the long quiet more than the princess.#wait how the hell are people voting for the greys and wraith?? it's not possible for them to be overrated; they're not popular.#slay the princess#i am going to regret this because i don't like being negative but oh well.

Happy Anniversary!

TW: written gore

She led him down the staircase, giggling. “There's a secret I have to show you, Killian,” she said, blonde hair flowing behind her like a river of gold.

Killian followed, hand wrapped in hers. “Where we going, Maggie? This place is awful dark. I don't want you to trip and fall down these steps.”

“Oh?” She turned back, eyes glittering in the darkness. “Don't worry about me, this is my little hideout. I promised you I'd show you everything, right?”

“Yeah, that's what fiancees are for,” Killian replied, feeling warmth bubble in his heart at the word ‘fiancee’. The ring on Maggie's finger was still cold. "I still can't believe it's been two years."

#i immediately knew from the first sentence that whatever she was going to show him was going to be fucked up#“killian replied feeling warmth bubble in his heart at the word 'fiancée.' the ring on maggie's finger was still cold.”#← i love that line. i love the contrast between him feeling warm and her ring being cold.#“what special activities? pretending to be a mushroom?” made me laugh#oh god. there's a child here. poor kid :(#“and what a wonderful anniversary sculpture she made of him. if only her fiancee had stuck around to see it.” oof that's a great last line#others writing#cw: gore

illarian-rambling asked:

April Fools! I'm rearranging all your characters' furniture ever so slightly, so they don't know exactly what's wrong, but they keep stubbing their toe on the chair :3

Hello, thanks for the ask! I know it's not April Fools day anymore, but... uhh let's pretend it is.

Nameless is barely aware of where furniture is placed to begin with, so this wouldn't be too out of the ordinary for them. They probably wouldn't even realize that anything has changed, they would just assume that they're being clumsy and confused.

I had to think a few minutes as to how Tievis would react. At first I was thinking that he would immediately notice, but you said "ever so slightly" and specified that they wouldn't know what was wrong, so he can't notice. Besides, he's not extremely observant anyway, although he would definitely notice if his stuff was moved in a visible way, and he would not be happy about it. Anyway what I have realized is that I have no idea how he'll react in this situation and I suppose I'll just have to move his furniture to find out.

Bonus: Skavsa has never been inside a building with furniture in her life, so this won't work on her :D

#apologies for getting to this late. was too sad to be on tumblr yesterday because one of my mutuals deactivated recently#and i don't know what happened.#anyway. felix stop being sad in the tags of a silly blorbo question.#thanks again for the ask!#answered asks#character: nameless#character: dr. tievis#character: skavsa

lines tag

I'd like to thank @sodaliteskull for the ancient nine lines, nine people tag and @sergeantnarwhalwrites for the heads up 7 up and a separate last line! I'm gonna pass any one of those three challenges (of your choosing) onto @winterandwords , @moltenwrites , @finickyfelix , @daisywords , @kalicofox and anyone else who wants to join in

"Captain, the—" he stopped in his tracks, and his head tilted a little, as if he was trying to work something out. "Sir? Are you okay?"
AJ cleared his throat, trying to rid himself of the last of the fog running through his mind. He recognised the feeling as inebriation— a hazy feeling at the corner of his mind that was blurring his sight ever so slightly and hazing his senses just enough to make it noticeable— but he couldn't recall drinking at all in the last weeks. He wouldn't, not in a time like this... Surely not.
"Yes, quite alright, Harrison. Did you come with news?"
Harrison nodded slowly, finding it hard to ignore something that was clearly going on. "Yes, uh... The storm— the fog, I guess? It's cleared."
He knew this already. The fog had come and gone with his angel, he'd managed to attain that much, but not only that, this feeling of haze had given him an innate understanding, and he could tell without looking that they were once again on clear waters.
#hmm this is interesting#very curious as to what happened before this#i love “the fog had come and gone with his angel”#others writing

Ten Opening Lines

Thank you to @willtheweaver for the tag!

The Rules: List the first line of the last ten (10) stories you wrote. Look to see any patterns you noticed yourself, and see if anyone else notices any.

I had to dig a little deep to find ten stories since I only have two wips on here, so please be aware that a) some of the names are placeholders lmao and b) some of these are VERY old

Fear Not:

In the beginning, there was nothing.

Starstruck:

I woke up to the sound of screaming.

book:

"I just don't understand why it's not working," said the woman in front of him, her brow creased with confusion.

book 2: electric boogaloo:

She was on her way to work when she saw him.

hmm:

It was a clear night, which was both a good thing and a bad thing - on the one hand, it meant her target was in plain view, but on the other, if anyone competent was on the watch duty then she would get spotted the minute she stepped foot into the clearing.

please name me:

What is it that makes a person a person?

5 Sisters:

The woman had eyes of the blackest coal.

who let me do this:

Nobody ever gives much thought to how they'll die.

The Lammas Hireling (short story):

It was two months ago that I met him.

The Cave (and What Comes After) (short story):

You're in a cave.

O-kay, so what I've learned from this is that my first sentences are generally quite short, except for the dinosaur book for some reason??? Lmk if you guys notice anything else :)

Going to pass the tag along to @eccaiia, @the-letterbox-archives, @illarian-rambling and anyone else who wants to join <3

#oh these are some great first lines#i especially love “i woke up to the sound of screaming.” and “what is it that makes a person a person?”#also ooh is the last one in second person?? i love second person#also the placeholder titles are so funny. “please name me” “who let me do this”#others writing

I really wish I was capable of describing locations/settings more. I intended to add more descriptions to the second draft of Faded Daisy, since it felt very bare in that department originally, like all my writing. But unfortunately my brain screams very loudly at the idea of writing any setting description longer than half a sentence, so oh well. My audience loves me for my half-assed and non-existent descriptions (/coping.)

I did add like eight words of description, "(dimly lit, mostly bare save for a tub)", for the room where Nameless gets their infamous bath, which is much more description than that room originally got, which was none at all.

I love reading vivid setting descriptions, but apparently I am allergic to writing them. This is why I did not make a good fantasy writer.

#the parentheses are inside the quotation marks because the original quote is in parentheses. i love my parentheses.#fun fact: i love parentheses so much that i once blocked a person for saying that you should never use parentheses in fiction writing#anyway that's not the topic. the topic is that i suck at descriptions#wip: faded daisy

Help me pick a book cover!

Hey guys :) With ardence almost done, I wanted to post some book covers I made!

Here's the blurb:

Humanity is ready for the approaching alien invasion. They're armed, organised, angry. But the attack never comes, and the International Council of Intergalactic and Interspecies relations is at a loss as to what to do when they find the Enemy mothership destroyed by a single human prisoner. Amelie Quentin, hero of humanity, three-year-long captive of the Enemy, doesn't care about all that. She just wants to go home. Unfortunately, the Council— as well as the mysterious interviewer they've sicced on her— are not going to let her. And not just because they want to give her a medal.

Ardence is a near-future sci-fi thriller told through interview/cctv transcripts, reports, and diary entires. Mind the TWs, they're mentions of child rape (nothing graphic), psych wards and forced sedation.

Tagging the gang to help me pick below!

#ardence is almost done?? and it's getting a cover?? yay!#i am so excited#i think i like the bottom left cover best#not the topic but assuming you didn't change the scene in question too much from when i beta read it i would also include graphic self-harm-#-in the trigger warnings. because that scene was a lot and i appreciated being warned in advance
