The Ducks Are Outside My Door. I Type This With Trembling Hands.

The ducks are outside my door. I type this with trembling hands.

The OCs: Maria and Reese

The ship name: idk I'm sure if the story ever sees the light of day, someone can come up with a more clever ship name than I ever could

Desire -- Meg Myers

This one is probably the most on-the-nose song about the situation when the two first meet. Reese wants to eat her, among other, more complex feelings. The angst he suffers is what fuels me.

Running Up That Hill -- Kate Bush

When Reese makes a deal with a certain someone to save Maria's heart, I imagine this song playing in the background. Also maybe a little too obvious of a song choice but stop judging me.

Dancing With the Dead -- Powerwolf

The song that initially inspired the whole thing, and it still works pretty well for the vibe of the final third of the story.

Turning Page -- Sleeping At Last

The moment when Reese realizes that he loves Maria. He's been in love with her for a while, but when he finally understands his own feelings, it's enough to change his entire worldview.

songs and (oc) ships

i shall begin… a tag game! instead of doing actual work! *collective disappointed but wholly unsurprised sighs* yay!

rules: write two to five songs from them that represent your a ship between your ocs (it can be platonic or romantic or a secret third thing). then add a quote from said wip (if possible!) underneath it.

the quote thing was simply because i want to gush over your writing EHE (no pressure if you're not comfortable with it, though!). i’ll go first!! this is ciaran/adelaide (ciaralaide? dwywhistle? i cannot ship name send help) from project GE:

christmas tree farm (old timey version) - taylor swift

this book is set during the winter solstice, and they do celebrate it and make preparations and decorations for it — it’s basically the equivalent of christmas in this world. christmas tree farm just gives all the warm and cosy and christmassy vibes. old timey version because the world in project GE is inspired by the 1840s, and i just personally prefer that version.

Chatter was all about in the streets, and a certain festivity hung in the air — they’d even planted a juvenile pine tree in the middle of the market square. It was bursting at its seams with decorations — strung with tiny sun-lamps, dotted with silvery trinkets and adorned with lost pinecones and leaves of holly and mistletoe. A few handmade ornaments were scattered around the branches, little memories peppered about.

sweet nothing - taylor swift

they’re a very comforting couple — like a warm quilt and the crackle of a fireplace after a long day — and sweet nothing just gives those vibess. just two kids protecting each other from the world <3

Adelaide nodded, almost imperceptibly, and Ciaran reached over to pull her in his embrace. He could feel tears soak his shirt, the quiet, shuddering sobs that rocked her body. He pulled her closer, tighter, as if he could protect her from the world.

ivy - taylor swift

okay i don’t know why but they are just such a taylor swift couple. everything about them is so taylor swift coded. no, adelaide is not cheating on some royal lover she has back home, but their romance is, somewhat, forbidden. i don't know which quote exactly encapsulates it, so here's an iconic moment instead:

“Thank you for being kind,” Adelaide whispered.  Ciaran’s heart fluttered. “Thank you for being there.”

Writer Things Bingo

Sooooo... new tag game anyone? I thought it would be fun to make a bingo board for writer things to get to know each other (also doing a trope/about the WIP one but need more squares - feel free to drop your favouite tropes if you want)

First here's my card, I got a bingo!

Rules: Want to join in? Click this link!

You'll get a random board, feel free to use the link again to get one to your liking if you want. Fill it in by clicking on the ones that fit you and see if you can get Bingo! Or even a Full House!

You CANNOT go wrong with fat dragons. You will reblog

Q: Which OC would be most likely to use Tumblr (if it existed for them) and what would be on their blog?

A: Mmmmmmm, it's a tie between Rose and Maria.

Internet doesn't exist in Rose's world, but if she could have a Tumblr, she absolutely would. Her blog would be full of things like flowers, cute animals, food, etc. She would be especially obsessed with flowers. Might slowly turn her blog into one centered entirely around flowers.

For Maria, she lives in a modern-day setting, and already has a blog. Hers is full of fashion stuff: pictures from shows she's been to, sketches of designs she's working on, long posts about fashion-related issues. Maria is a Tumblr girlie.

Tags: @yourlocaldragondealer @glbtrx and anyone else who wants to join, because I'm bad at remembering which people to tag that might be interested.

Your question is: Which of your OCs is most likely to commit a crime, and which OCs is most likely to snitch?

OKAY!

WRITEBLRS if you're seeing this, you're legally obligated to reblog with an answer, and then a new question for the next person!

Here's the start:

Which of your OCs is most likely to punch somebody in the face?
