Im A Fucking Sucker For The Character Gets So Badly Injured That They Cant Think Clearly And Start Calling

im a fucking sucker for the “character gets so badly injured that they can’t think clearly and start calling for help in a distressingly vulnerable way.” characters who start using nicknames for their friends they haven’t used since they were kids. characters who start begging for their brother they haven’t seen in years to be there. characters who would usually use their parents’ names or call them mother/father/etc crying out mama when they go down. u understand.

Number Write Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @willtheweaver (here)! All from Ch.1 of What Lurks In The Hollow.

“So…”

"Hi, Dylan!"

"Ah, screw it."

"What the fuck, Amy!?

"You don't say, 'Sherlock'? Wow."

"And where exactly are you going?

"It's that we've got another goddamn problem"

"Good." He answered, then muttered, under his breath

"There's some spare change in the car's glove box."

Mentally, she scolded herself for not bringing her baseball bat

Take your writing motivation dose for today:

You will finish that WIP.

You will find people that like it.

You will be recognized by someone as a living legend that you are.

It may not happen today, but it will happen. Stop the worries, stop the overthinking. You got this, you goddamn living legend.

Hmm. That's a very tough question to answer, mostly because it depends on which WIP I'm most hyperfocused on at any given moment in time. I usually pour all of my focus onto like, 3 specific WIPs per time until I finish either: 1. outlining, 2. plotting, 3. drafting lmao. Right now, the WIPs I'm having the most fun writing are What Lurks In The Hollow (urban fantasy/horror mystery/coming of age), Scrapyard Boys (superhero/dystopia), and Supernova Initiative (space opera/heist/whump)! Those are my Main 3 rn lmao, mostly cause I'm absolutely obsessed with the characters and storylines of that WIP and I cannot wait until I have those three drafts finished!

I'm also pretty excited about my post-apocalypse WIP, Plague of Tomorrow, which I'm planning to turn into a videogame.

First ever tagging game!

Hi everyone! this is my first try at a tagging game, and for those I tagged, enjoy!

Tell me which fic of yours or your work in progress has been the MOST FUN TO WRITE (if you want to). Like, which one did you have a BLAST writing? why? Feel free to share, to rec, to tell us WHY they were fun, etc etc. (stolen from the tumblr tagging game search response)

I'll go first, my most fun work in progress has been my story "heaven will never be the same" because i got to try my hand at writing a fight scene for once and that was outside of my comfort zone. now i just got to get out of writers block to continue the story.

It was really a pleasure to draw Astra, she's amazing! And thank you so much for your drawing of Zach Taylors from What Lurks In the Hollow!

For anyone interested, keep your eyes peeled because next month I'll make an art blog + PayPal and will be ready to receive character art commissions!

Thank you, @mysticstarlightduck! She did this lovely commission of Astra for me (look at that jacket!), and I did a drawing of her character, Zach :)

She's gonna open commissions soon, so be ready! Be prepared!

hi! for the rainy day ask game:

🌦️ Overcast: Which character do you think readers would love the most? Which character do you think they would dislike?

Thank you for the ask, @kitkins13! Let's go with the cast of What Lurks In The Hollow

ASK GAME HERE

🌦️ Overcast:

Which character do you think readers would love the most?

I think that vote would be stuck between Dylan, Zach or Christine. In all honesty, the whole cast of this WIP has a lot of different personalities that I did my best to make unique, so every MC character in this WIP would probably be someone's favorite once the book's out lol. But I think those three would absolutely be the at the Top 3:

Dylan Millihan:

Overall Description/Vibes: 23M, a reserved, emotionally unavailable mess of an young man who is trying his best and is probably more overworked than it would be healthy but pretends he's fine by using a social mask of bad mood and distance from strangers. Cares about his little sister immensely but generally doesn't know how to show it verbally so just shows it through quiet actions and hopes for the best.

Appearance: Tall, handsome, has medium to long hazel hair vaguely styled in a 80s-90s way, usually wears black button up shirts not buttoned up all the way and jeans. Prefers boots over sneakers.

Zach Taylors:

Overall Description/Vibes: 16M, an incredibly charismatically charming goth kid who likes freedom above everything and who has some serious self-esteem issues that he hides behind a facade of confidence. He's Amy Millihan's best friend and love interest as the story progresses. Zach loves music, skateboarding and reading books from his vast collection he stole from the library.

Appearance: Average height, skinny, usually wears improvised goth style clothes including a shirt with the logo from his favorite yet obscure band, dark grey jacket with DIY spikes and small chains, black fingerless gloves with ripped fishnetting, spike studded black converse sneakers + dark nail polish and eyeliner. Has short, yet messy dark brown hair.

Christine Nespor:

Overall Description/Vibes: 22F, a laid-back wanderer with a love for all things funny, from jokes to pranks to hilariously bad movies, but who is also really wise when it comes to life and gives top tier advice. Loves a good amount of harmless chaos and probably knows more than a few really strange unsolved cases that really contrast with her wholesome personality. She's also Dylan's first friend and later love interest in Vinethorn Grove.

Appearance: Average height, has wavy blonde hair cut into a simple yet stylish bob, wears cutesy yet simple makeup preferring to add a small splash of color to her styles. Loves woven sweaters, twill pants and patchwork shirts, especially DIY ones, and wears vintage sneakers. Has a playful smile.

Which character do you think they would dislike?

Probably the villains, yeah lmao.

Take your pick 😭

Mayor Samuel Whitaker: Literal serial killer whose family is involved with bloody rituals with fey demons. Most of his victims are teens or kids because he "likes his souls young" (essentially the younger and more 'pure'/innocent the souls the more effective the sacrifices are)

Mrs. Adelaide Draycott: A 50 year old cougar/Karen who has nothing better to do in her life than to stalk Dylan (who is young enough to be her son at the very least) around to try to get him to 'fall in love with her'. When her attempts fail she fully becomes a Karen and decides to sabotage his entire life.

Sheriff Isaac Clarke: A corrupt, racist cop who thrives on nepotism and blackmail, often using underhanded tactics to get what he wants. Aids criminals if it means getting more power and literally 'calls the shots' in town. Also covers up the Mayor's string of murders and makes sure no investigations suceed.

Branden Heddam: Insanely threatening - probably drunk - biker gang leader who terrorizes innocent people and specially likes making his stepson's (Zach) life a living hell. The most abusive """"""parent"""""" figure known to mankind and has committed murders before due to his sheer brutality.

Cathleen "Cath" Edwards: The most annoying debt collector known to mankind who literally shows up unnanounced at the worst times and is so smug she could make Regina George cringe.
