I'll Figure It Out Eventually - Tumblr Posts

You ever have a character you love dearly? Got so much shit figured out about them, all their backstory and even an idea of where their life is going. And yet. The fucking setting. My wonderful OC has no city to take over and I really can’t figure out. The idea was a city where the wealthy cling to the past and tradition and old ass architecture (all while still taking advantage of modern tech) but the poor live in slums with broken down pieces of the modern world. Then my mind was like “Oh but what if we added magic?” “But how can I have magic and science in one go without screwing up one or the other?” “Idk figure it out.”

I am currently trying to figure out how to draw Kyborg in my style. Also happy Smarsh day.

part 300 of trying to write Parseltongue in a way that people won't find annoying

"Where can I find the adders?"

"Placesss."

"Placesss?" he mimicked sarcastically. "What placesss?"

"Shh. You are attracting the badgers."

It half-heartedly flopped towards the water, and Tom followed it.

"In the sun. Not often. Try when the students have gone back to their nests."

"Do you mean during the holidays?"

"Yesss. Nasty little creatures, always kicking and throwing stones. He would have none of that, hss. Disrespect. Now leave me alone."

"Disrespect, hss," said Tom, biting back a laugh. He was going to catch a cold if he stood there any longer. "Fine. I'm going."

Okay I know everyone on the Internet says that they find hss'es and ss'es annoying in Parseltongue, but I can't imagine this snake not sounding like that. I wouldn't put it (unironically) in a human Parselmouth's speech, but I can't get it out of my head. At least the italics are fairly unobtrusive?
