I made cinnamon pull apart bread today and despite missing 2 key ingredients and making a creative substitute my husband said it was “better than he expected”

#SumLuv 🧵 Beautiful, But Deadly (art by me) Oleander 🏳️‍⚧️: he starts out in the story dysphoric + in a miserable marriage. He goes out to hunt a beast, but instead ends up helping it Eadmund 🦌: the powerful, immortal beast absolutely smitten w Oleander. It helps him learn how to love himself & his body

Pencil drawing of two characters in an intimate pose (beast and man). The beast character has large, batlike wings, antlers, a bovine nose, and goatlike ears and beard. The man (Oleander) has long hair past his shoulders and a shy smile on his face. Eadmund has one of his hands holding Oleander’s, the other going up his shirt

Uh oh, bad times for the band. Some are injured, some are yelling, and it's all extremely overstimulating for Katie. (FYI: Had an autism sensitivity read for early episodes, but not these later ones yet. I am writing from experiences of friends & family, so hopefully not bad but is WIP.) #WIPSnips

Screenshot of a work-in-progress manuscript with the word 'incoherent' highlighted. “How fucking many?!” I have never heard AJ this mad since [redacted] and it is all too much. Everyone is yelling. Kyle’s head will not stop bleeding. Rachel is injured. She was thankfully only sexually harassed and not worse but that thought is disgustingly terrible to be thankful for. “He’s usually"—“‘Usually’ is a long fucking way from always”—“I know but”— I have no idea when my hands started flapping which annoys me even more since my mother taught me early on that it bothers people and I need to find less noticeable ways to release the energy but it is too much energy and the words are now an incoherent buzz of shouting with an undercurrent of Kyle’s calm voice saying something about calming down but I will not fucking calm down unless he is telling them to calm down in which case I wish they would fucking calm down since it is all too much, too loud, too bright— I finally break and shout, “TOO MUCH! Everyone stop yelling!” That was absolutely not the proper way to handle the situation but the room goes blessedly silent anyway. Rachel does not so much break the silence as she gently eases through it by whispering, “[Redacted], can you turn off the light? It’s… uh… giving me a headache.” Between the quiet and the room now dimming, my thoughts slow their pace. I open my eyes… to everyone staring at me. That really fucking helps.

#WIPSnips #WritingCommunity No coherent, so I went for 'logical' instead. This snippet is from early on, when Grilled was just going by Zucchini. Also, freshly edited snippet! Some writing I'm proud of! And yes, that includes that long convoluted sentence because I need one of those occasionally

Welcome to the Good Thyme Inn Garlic and Zucchini may have been lacking the social skills or awareness that Aloutian children developed in school or with caring parents, but there was one thing they knew for certain. Something they had discussed with each other that first night sleeping under the inn’s roof, hiding deep in the basement because they couldn’t be seen among the guests yet, wondering what their life would be like from that day forward. They had no logical basis for their assumption, only what they believed to be true of women: they believed Shallot would kick them out if she knew the real reason they had to leave their master’s land. And so, Garlic and Zucchini agreed to a fictional account concocted in the late hours of that first night. They later told Shallot that their master, unable to keep her charcoal business going, had sold them to the governor of their region, Master Tsubakijima. Shallot had known of that name. House Tsubakijima was one of Ophidia’s infamous Four Flower Families, the four houses producing weapons for Ophidia’s military.

SO sorry this snip is so long! 😅 From CryptidWIP Sam and Grace spent the night in a car on the side of the road. Sam wakes up to strange lights and rumbling. Cryptid activity, scary children-of-the-corn vibes, or just a rural tradition? 🤔 Vibes for sleepy-incoherent #WIPSnips #TCoS #AmWriting

It should only be a moment before a car or truck reaches us, and yet the light is coming slowly, and the closer it gets, the more apparent it becomes that the light is unusually high off the ground. Another light blooms in from the fog, on the left flank of the first, trailing at the same slow speed. Are these lights some sort of supernatural phenomena? "Grace?" I half-whisper. She stirs, but doesn't wake. I'm twisted in my seat, my nose pressed against the window to observe the lights; my breath fogs up the glass, clouding my vision even further. I reach to roll down the window, then stop. Instead, I turn off the hazard lights. If something intelligent is coming our way, I don't want to scare it off. Finally, the light breaks through the fog and splits into two headlights. A giant green tractor is rolling up the road, slow and steady. It's got an enclosed cab on top, and I can't see the occupant. The engine noise grows as it reaches us, and now I can see that the following light is also a tractor—smaller and red, but just as out-of-place in the dense fog. More lights. And more still. All at once, we are utterly surrounded by more than a dozen rumbling tractors, their engines almost as loud as last night's thunder, their movement causing the cryptid keychain to swing lightly on the rearview mirror. "Grace?" I say, louder now. "What is going on?" She winces awake, grimacing at the confusion of waking up in the car surrounded by fog and tractors. "Uhh?" she grumbles, blinking and taking it all in. A great yawn escapes her. "Tayer-tractorul-day," she yawns out. "What?" I say helplessly. She seems to register my sheer confusion and lets out a little laugh, nodding to put me at ease. She sits up properly, clearing her throat and rubbing the sleep from her eyes, then addresses me. "Take Your Tractor to School Day," she says. She leans over me to look out the window, observing the agricultural caravan passing us by. "Yee-haw," she adds playfully, arching a brow.

Film you've watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Trek, Star Wars, LOTR, Marvel, Disney, or Ghibli. I always answer Clue (1985) because it's my favorite, so this time I'll say Dumb and Dumber (1994), which is "our movie" (like "our song") for me and the Mr. 😅😂

Dumb And Dumber: Big Gulps, Huh?

Alt: Dumb And Dumber. Jim Carrey walks out of a 7-11 and past some guys with cups. "Hey guys! Woah, Big Gulps, huh? Alright! .... Well, see ya later!"

I don't think I have a favorite, so I'll highlight some snips from TOUCHED. The prose and tone is so different from everything else I've written/am currently writing, so it has that effect of "Damn, I wrote this?" (positive) when I reread. #SummerOfStories #Touched

“All at once, your touch strains honor,” Rolfe breathed, hot on Erryn’s neck. “Hitherto I’d been a virtuous servant.” Erryn heard the smile on Rolfe’s face, felt the teeth graze his throat. The ability for banter had long since left him, so instead, Erryn moved his hands to the sides of Rolfe’s face and kissed him. It was like falling into a pleasant dream, like riding through the forest for the first time.She arrived then, standing in the doorway like a painting in a frame, a classic beauty. As if by some spell, Erryn moved forward, assuming his role. “Lady Elena,” he greeted her, taking her hand and bringing it to his lips. “It is an honor to meet you.” She noted his movements, the way he imitated the king with his manner of speech. Perhaps this was someone like her, aiming to fulfill an expectation they could never quite reach.Erryn looked like the forlorn hero of some great tragedy, beleaguered, caught under a heavy weight. The rain had slicked his dark hair and drenched his clothes; they clung to him as if he and they were sculpted from the same piece of marble.“I love you,” he told her, causing her heart to flutter. It was the first time he had said the words themselves. She gazed into his hazel eyes. “I know it in my soul,” she assured him. Her hands still rested on the sides of his face. “Allow me to accept your love, and in return you shall have my heart in equal measure.”
