Glowing feedback from a critique partner regarding my MC, a feral-girl goddess trapped in a human body ✨ “she is quite unlikable (sorry)” 💕 “she’s so mean!” 🔪 “I was especially upset when she had Elias chop off his hand” 😇 “everyone is mean” #UnhingedPit #A #F #R #Q

Ocher's life resets every time her killer catches her. No matter what she does, he finds her and sends her back to the first night she died. But she's falling in love with the detective helping her, and she must escape before their relationship is erased. #questpit #w #a #t

Collage of photos: hands holding bloody pieces of glass, a lunar eclipse, a red exit sign, a woman and two children hugging (blurry), an hourglass in front of a red background, the silhouette of a man and woman in front of a door. Included are the words "together forever."

Reminder to comment on that art post or fanfic, and drop a review of that book. Telling creatives what you think, even if it’s just a one line sentence, truly does make a difference! And I don’t just mean ‘engagement’. I mean it will make their day. Tell someone when you love their work 🤍

FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME Excerpt ‘All children, except one, grow up.’ That is how the classic line goes. When I was nineteen-years-old, however, I learned the tragic lesson that that wasn’t always the case. Disease ruthlessly ravages innocent lives, while famine mercilessly snatches away their dreams. Violence lurks within the depths of strangers' hearts or, more tragically, a family member’s. And let us not forget the sheer cruelty of random happenstance, which has regularly inflicted its unspeakable horrors upon them. Throughout the annals of time, no demographic has endured more anguish and torment than those innocents who never had the chance to experience the complexities of growing up. And amidst this unfathomable sorrow, for longer than our history can even dare to measure, there has existed the enigma of Pan, the taker of children…my tormentor… Artwork from Peter & Wendy (1911 ed.) by J.M. Barrie, illustrated by F.D. BedfordAn all natural product guide to Gwen Dale, main character #1 of ‘Forever is a Very Long Time’ a sapphic dark fantasy/horror reimagining of Peter & Wendy. When Gwen was a girl called Wendy Darling, she met someone who promised her freedom and love, and all it cost her was her humanity and everyone she ever loved. A century later, she’s trying to claw some of it back thanks to a 15yo named Mona, who’s awakened a long lost sense of family. Locations: London to Neverland to London to Vancouver to Neveland to ??? How She Got Like This: 1. Was born Wendy Darling, older sister to John & Michael. At 12, met a magical being called Peter Pan. 2. Was made a blooddrinking immortal at 19 by Pan to keep her from growing up. Her first victim? Her fiancé Archie. 3. Fled Neverland and spent more than 100 years watching over the descendents of her brother John, always remaining apart. 4. Unexpectedly became the sole guardian of her great niece, Mona, reminding her of family. Then Pan returned and took her.

After twenty years of fighting monsters shaped like children, this pirate captain is running out of steam, until her long-time nemesis gives her an ultimatum she can’t refuse. Location: Neverland. Around and around and around again...will it ever stop...? How She Got Like This: 1. Was born the youngest of 3 in Canada to Haitian immigrants. Was known as a tomboy and troublemaker. 2. Taken to Neverland as a teen by Pan & nearly turned until she was rescued by the crew of the Jolly Roger. Became a pirate. 3. Worked her way up to Captain through guile, swagger & determination. She became Pan’s fave nemesis/playmate. 4. At 33 she’s feeling burnt out, wondering how long she can do this. Then she’s reminded of family, lost 20 years earlier...

FOREVER IS A VERY LONG TIME The Pitch When Gwen was a girl called Wendy Darling, she met someone who promised her freedom and love, and all it cost her was her humanity and everyone she ever loved. A century later, she’s trying to claw some of it back thanks to a 15yo named Mona, who’s awakened a long lost sense of family. When Capt Hook was a girl called Rosie, she met someone who promised her adventure, and all it cost her was her family and sense of security. After twenty years of fighting monsters shaped like children, this pirate captain is running out of steam, until her long-time nemesis gives her an ultimatum she can’t refuse. Forced to work together, the cranky immortal and smug pirate will have to put aside their animosity and work together to save a family neither knew they needed. Along the way, they might find the love of a lifetime…if they don’t kill each other first. Artwork from Peter & Wendy (1911 ed.) by J.M. Barrie, illustrated by F.D. Bedford

The Dying Religion No one expected orphans to survive the war meant to end magic, let alone win it. Victory’s cost? The death of their God. When war returns, intent on slaughtering the remaining gods, the boys raised as Holy-War cannon-fodder must decide if they’re worth saving. #P2Ppit #f #UW

An aesthetic divided into 8 diagonal parts, at the centre on a black box is the quote “do you know what it costs to be loved by a god?” The images are as follows, described from top left and following around in a clockwise manner, - a man crouched to the ground, covering his ears. - a dragon setting ablaze a town - a man struck through the chest by lightning - a ship afloat on the waters, on fire - an army split down the middle to create a path - an eye with fire burning in place of the iris - a volcanic erupting - old, rusted clocks

Man y'all I started to enjoy it here but then all the people moved from Twitter and a bunch of scammers showed up and now it's not really much better than Twitter. In fact there's more politics in my feed here than there. Sad face.
