I was tagged by @tabswrites for this one, here! Thanks for the tag!

Rules: post the last seven lines you wrote! Then tag others!

It's not exactly seven lines, I think, but here you go!

From Tales of Wilted Flowers -

“Out of all the bad ideas, my dear.” Xarian shakily called out [to Lorelai], not breaking eye contact with the beastly wolf currently a burning stick away from biting his neck off. Instead of standing by the snuffed-out fire, he’d moved forward. But that made him the only thing standing between a Faellyn petrified by fear and a ravenous shadow-hound. He scoffed, softly, at the situation they were in. “That has to be one of our worst.”

🎃Trick or treat!💀

Thanks for the ask, @oh-no-another-idea!!!

Treat! 🎃

This is the last one of these in my inbox, I know I was late to answer it, but in the spirit of Halloween, have a smol spooky snippet from Tales of Wilted Flowers!

The dead forest was eerie - filled with the kind of silence where things appear louder than they should ever be. They could hear everything, and yet, not enough. It felt like... death. Something terrible had happened in this place, this they knew. And the echoes of what once was still haunted the ruins that remained in an endless winter. As the last threads of rageful spirits. mourning what was taken from them. Every they took upon this ashen, barren soil felt wrong, dangerous. No one was supposed to be here. The wind whistled as it curved around twisted branches, a cold, soulless chill passing through them. Cinder-covered snow crunched beneath the soles of their boots, though the air was dry as a desert. And yet, the ruins they sought remained out of reach - that is presuming they managed not to get lost beforehand. "Are you sure we are on the right track?" Caladin asked tentatively, wincing at how his hushed voice seemed to echo even so. He scratched the back of his neck, awkwardly. "... Because I'm sure whatever terror is inside these ruins certainly is not a good way to die." There was a pause, for a moment, but not for long. Arista looked over her shoulder, still carefully holding up the torch that was lighting their way as their group all but waded through the forest's thick fog. "No, I'm not sure. But I grew up on tales of this place - or at least, of what this place used to be before... all of this." She gestured outwards towards the fog-filled wastes, skipping over a gnarled root. "If we're lucky, and our suspicious friend back in the city was telling the truth, we might just make it out alive. At this point, blind luck seems to be our charm."

Trick or Treat? 🎃

OMG Mystic, happy belated Halloween and thank you for coming to knock on my door! I know it's over, but as I was traveling most of last week, I hope you don't mind one last treat! 🎃 (After all, the best part of Halloween is the leftover candy, right?)

As it happens, I'm commissioning some art for GSNBTR courtesy of the brilliant and talented @maxyartwork, and it's almost finished! However, since it's intended to accompany the finale and that's still in the near-to-medium future, here's a very tiny sneak peek because I can't wait to share!

(Note: It's entirely SFW, so don't get too excited 😂).

Our Own Original (OOO) Incorrect Quotes Tag!

I was tagged by @rickie-the-storyteller for this one! Thank you so much for the tag (:

I seriously hope I did this right.

Here's my version of your incorrect quote!

(This gives me strong Rylisan & Caladin banter vibes, because Rylisan Fenrith is such an awkward, uptight, and serious guy who had difficulty grasping human sense of humor, especially at the beginning of the series, and Caladin not only used to take nearly nothing seriously when they first met but he adored making Rylisan nearly lose his mind at him. This quote is legit something he could actually say, I'm not even joking LMAO)

Rylisan: Caladin, you shouldn't call for help unless you genuinely need it. I'm happy to answer questions, as long as they are relevant to what we're doing.

Caladin: Alight, Sir. Oh! I have another question, now - what is a pie, in mathematics?

Rylisan: Uh-

Caladin: Like, this sheet asks you to give your answer in terms of a pie, and I have no clue what that is…

Rylisan: Not "a pie," Caladin. Pi. It's a constant. We've been over this...

Caladin: How many kinds of Pi are there?

Rylisan: What?

Caladin: My mum makes the best Pi. She does a great apple Pi, chicken Pi, shepherd's Pi… (sigh) God. I miss her. I miss her Pi…

Rylisan: Caladin, please listen-

Caladin: How can you give a number in terms of Pi, Sir? And what Pi do I need to give it in terms of? How do I work out what type of Pi to give it in terms of?

(Rylisan has no idea what to say to that)

***

Here's your incorrect quote, to whomever shall do this next!

From my WIP Realms of Loss - (I refuse to give context to this quote LMAO, figure it out!)

Person A - ... And that's how I almost burned down the entire castle when I was 12 after my attempt at the kitchen rafters to sneak a plate of cupcakes nearly toppled three torches onto the oak floors!

Person B - (blinks, silent, reconsidering his entire list of life choices up to this point) ...

Person A - Aw, c'mon, how come that doesn't make you smile even a little?

Person B - (drags hands over face with a groan) The only thing I got from this two-hour-long conversation is that you're a feral maniac with no regard for safety.

(there's an awkward silence and the conversation shifts to other matters. After a while, Person B hums, curiosity winning over, before genuinely asking, slightly confused.)

Person A - ...

Person B - ...

Person B - Though there's the one thing I would like to know ... what are cupcakes?

Person A - How do you not...? Oh you're going to love this concept.

What if I made a Writeblr tag game where we turn lines of dialogue from our own stories into an incorrect quote for the next person to insert their characters into. Is that anything
