My favorite pirate joke is “why does it take pirates so long to learn the alphabet? Because they spend years at c” not because it’s THAT funny but because it’s a relatively simple joke that nobody ive told it to has ever correctly guessed the punchline for because they all think it’s gonna be a joke about arrrr

i'm back with chapter 2. a snippet is below the cut, and the full chapter's here. i hope you enjoy it.
“You think I should check on Ruby soon?”
“Minerva won’t turn.” Violet said with a sigh. “She’s probably in bed right now. She looked fine when they left.”
Clementine clenched the handle. “I know, I’m just… Edgy, I guess. In my experience, this is usually the part where things fall apart.”
“You did what you thought you needed to. You can’t always expect things to blow up in your face, you know.” She slid the axe out of Clementine’s grip, replacing the stained wood with a warm grasp. She hoped it was as therapeutic for Clementine as it was for her.
The two sat in silence for a while, lolling in the crisp open air. Long acclimated to the stench of death, their chief sensation was the muted hum of the forest at night in concert with their steady breathing. Violet’s arrhythmic and harsher than Clementine’s barely perceptible inhales.
“Did you know you can tell someone’s future just by looking at their hands?”
Clementine scoffed, amused.
“Yeah, it’s bullshit.” She smiled and turned Clementine’s palm upwards. “It’s fun, though. Look, I’ll do yours.”
“So this line…” She began, tracing the ball of her thumb. “... It tells you shit like… how well you deal with situations, decision-making and shit like that.”
“Alright… what does it say about me?”
“Says here you’re really good at it. And this line here…” She drew her finger across the middle of her palm. “... says you should listen to your girlfriend.” Clementine gave an exasperated sigh, Violet pleased with her segue’s success at calming her girlfriend.
“Sorry if I went a bit overboard earlier. With Minnie. If you think she’s cool, I’ll give her a shot.”
“I get it. You don’t know her like we do… Or did, I guess. It’s hard to trust someone who’s only ever tried to kill you.”
Clementine bit her lip. “Still, I’ll do my best to play nice.”
“Wow, making nice with The Ex.” Violet yawned, nuzzling deeper into Clementine. “Someone’s gunning for girlfriend of the year.”
Clementine smiled, heat rising slowly on her face. “C’mon, I didn’t mean it like that.”
Violet grinned, basking in the moment. She’d have to break away for bed soon enough – there was work to do tomorrow, as there always was. But for now, the whole world was up there with her in that tower.

Hello, I'm AnonymousMcWriter, but you can shorten it however you like. Below the cut is a snippet of my TWDG fanfic metempsychosis. I hope you give it a look and find you enjoy it!
"Clem?" The croak in his voice told her sleep had already begun to grip and tug at him. She responded in a soft whisper. "Yeah, buddy?"
"Did I do good tonight?" She furrowed her brow, recognition not arriving before he elaborated. "With Lilly." The clarification drew a grimace, Clementine remembering AJ's admittedly excessive execution. Knowing AJ's inclination to literal understanding would distort a less nuanced response, she decided to answer with a question.
"Why do you think you shot her so many times?" She tried to steer away from condemnation, still not quite giving him the answer he wanted.
"Because I wanted to." He turned to stare at the wall. His candor unnerved her, she struggled to articulate why. "Because I liked it. I hated Lilly, and I just wanted her dead. Really bad." He was silent for a while, and so was Clementine. Neither knew what to fill the silence with, or if they should at all.
Clementine felt like she was being forced to defuse a very precious bomb. "I'm glad Lilly's gone, she won't be able to hurt any of us anymore. But I don't want to lose you in the process." She spoke carefully, tip-toeing to each word and train of thought. "I had a friend who was like that - from before you were born. He got mean when he was angry - violent. He'd go overboard sometimes, and he'd start to lose it when things got really bad. One day, he'd thought something terrible had happened, he got angrier than I'd ever seen him... that was when something awful really happened. I want to be able to trust you to control yourself, to know how far is too far."
AJ remained silent.
"I love you." Clementine said, stroking his cheek. His "I love you too." was quiet, subdued. She hoped he meant it. She looked out the window to see it was well and truly night. Dark blue sky, stars just beginning to blink on - she briefly wondered if there were always that many in the days before. Exhaling, she adjusted her cap and left AJ to drift off into sleep.

[preview] metempsychosis chapter three
hi, it's been a while. my brain hasn't been cooperating up until last week. while i'm working on chapter three, i hope you guys enjoy this preview.
Violet breathed in, savoring the earthy scent the waning drizzle had brought. The air was cold, but not terribly so, and a steel gray roof of clouds obscured all but the most resolute streaks of white sunlight.
“Spring’s coming soon.” She sighed.
“Uh-huh.” Clementine mumbled from their shared desk, fixated on the scattering of maps before her. Circles and crosses highlighted or blotted out landmarks, miscellaneous footnotes adding to a growing legend.
Not taking her eyes off her work, she called over her girlfriend. “Hey, can you come over here for a second? I need some help with making sense of the forest.”
Interest piqued, Violet left her perch on the balcony to lend an eye, taking care not to slip on the damp tile.
She hopped on their desk, tilting her head to look down at Clementine’s work. It looked as if she'd raided Tenn’s supplies, the crayons and pencils scattered around the desk giving the impression of an intense arts and crafts session. Although this was undercut by the strategic, almost military partitions of land and locations.
“This is new.” Violet pointed at a triangle left of the large box labeled ‘ERICSON’. It lay within a dotted circle, adorned with a large question mark.
“James’ barn.” Clementine answered. “At least where I think it should be…” She groaned, exasperated. “This is why I avoid forests.”
“It’ll take some getting used to…” Violet offered, placing her hand atop Clementines. “I don’t even know this place that well, and I’ve been here for years.”
Clementine breathed out, “So, what did you wanna ask me about?”
Clementine rolled out another map, older and larger than the others. It was relatively poorly drawn, clearly done so by a more inexperienced hand. “What’s this place?” She pointed to a green scribbling of crayon obscured by stains and time.
Violet hummed. “We used to go fishing there, before Marlon pulled us back. We caught a lot more from the river itself than from the shack.”
“I see…” Clementine said, factoring it into her rumination. “And what’s across the river?”
Violet shrugged. “Ohio? I dunno, we never crossed it. Never had any reason to.”
Clementine leaned back in her chair with a sigh. “Well, we’re gonna have to go back.to the boat soon if we don't want everything going down the river."
"Not necessarily." Violet suggested, tracing a winding blue line down the map. "If anything’s gone downriver, it’ll branch off and hit these creeks by the shack. Besides, isn’t the bank like, crawling with walkers?"
Clementine blinked. “Wow, you’re right. Good thinking.”
Violet brushed it off, wordlessly accepting the compliment.
“What else is down creek?” Clementine asked.
“Rocks, mostly. Lots of rocks. Maybe a hundred yards downstream. Not much gets through, it basically flows into a hill.”
“I see… it’d be nice to get a real map of this place, where we are, geographically, and all that.”
With this, Violet couldn’t help, a stumped shrug communicated that clearly. Clementine, frustrated, leaned back in her chair, teetering on the edge of falling over.
“I can’t think right now.” Clementine frowned, grumbling from both her mouth and stomach. “How much longer is Omar gonna take?”
“It looked like he was almost done.” Violet said, hopping off the desk. “C’mon, let’s get you fed..”

How to write kids, if you don't remember being one or haven't lived with any
1. Kids never feel as small as you see them. A three year old thinks a one year old is a baby and a six year old is grown up. A six year old thinks a three year old is a baby and a twelve year old is an adult. Age is about perspective. One year is a huge age difference to a little kid.
2. Little kids might not be conscious of their physical limitations, but they can still be frustrated by them. A seven year old might see an adult do something relatively simple, like draw a straight line or perfectly crack an egg, and try to do the same thing, only to be frustrated when it doesn't work.
Imagine suddenly having an injury that makes a skill you use every day become difficult- you feel you should be able to do the thing, and you understand the thing should be easy for you, but it isn't. It can be immensely frustrating to have a brain that grasps a concept that language or fine motor skills haven't caught up to.
3. You know when you forget a word, and have to make something up on the fly to describe the word? That's pretty much exactly what learning your first language is like.
You know what you intend, but you don't have a way to express it, and it can move you to tears with frustration when everyone around you is suggesting the wrong thing, or seems completely certain they understand what you mean, and they don't.
You don't have a word for "Later"? You might try saying "next time", or, "after", or, "before tomorrow".
This might result in saying, "Are we going to the park next time?", "Are we going to the park before tomorrow?", or, "Are we going to the park after?", all of which can result in different answers.
4. Kids feel like adults are a different species. They don't get why we do certain things, and they don't understand why we don't want to run around with them all the time.
If sitting still is boring, coffee tastes bitter, and long conversations only happen with weird-smelling strangers who talk to them like they're stupid, then they truly will not understand why anyone would *want* to be left to have coffee with a friend without welcome distractions to make it bearable.
Aren't you bored? You aren't doing anything. How could you possibly be stimulated without any food or toys or music or anything? Why don't you just leave? Do you *have* to be there, the way you had to go to work? Adults are weird.
5. Children have complex social relationships that are just as varied as yours.
A room full of third graders might look like indiscriminate chaos to an adult, but pick a well connected kid, and they'll tell you that Megan is the fashion icon who can do hair really well, Thomas is the athlete, Gray gets mean when he has to share so nobody wants to play with him, Paisley can't read and the boys make fun of her for it so don't make her work in a group with Anthony, Dillon put a bug in their food once so they'll never trust him again, and Matthew's parents let him watch family guy so he says bad words and makes grown-up jokes that make other kids uncomfortable.
You don't see this stuff because you aren't inside the society. They are, and they do.
6. Time. Moves. So. Slow. Five minutes really does feel like half an hour. Sit still for five minutes? That's like you sitting in a waiting room at the DMV for an hour. Wouldn't you get annoyed and impatient? They haven't learned to hide their irritation yet. That's really the only difference.
7. "Reading in your head" requires understanding that you have a Voice, which people can hear, and Thoughts, which are audible only to yourself. This can be a difficult concept to grasp. If a kid is reading out loud, and you tell them to read quietly, there's a good chance they're going to whisper or mouth the words instead of going totally silent the way you might. Splitting the self into multiples like "Internal monologue VS public perception" or "What I look like VS how I think I look" is alien and bizarre. If a kid thinks they look like a Dragon and you laugh at them? Ouch. They might be mad for a while.
8. Repetitive chores make no sense when your awareness of time doesn't extend beyond a week or so. Why should I wash my blankets? They don't look dirty and I don't smell anything bad. Blankets don't get dirty unless you put dirt on them. If you put a blanket in a washer, you can't use that blanket AT ALL the ENTIRE TIME it's being cleaned. That might be an hour, but it will *feel* like a week. And you have to do that every two weeks?? That's overkill. Why even bother?
9. Kids have opinions about adults. They will have a sense about whether an adult is "real-kind" or "fake-kind". An adult who listens respectfully to what they have to say, asks thoughtful questions, and takes their concerns seriously? That's a good adult. An adult that oversimplifies their struggles, ignores their complex social rules, and gives bullshit advice like "just walk away from bullies" and "turn your chores into a fun game"? That's not a trustworthy adult. That's an Adult™. An Adult™ doesn't consider them to be a real human being with thoughts and emotions. An Adult™ sees them as an inferior, amusing pet. And they will actively sabotage An Adult™ like that.
10. Emotions are physical at a young age. Joy might make their body buzz until they can't help but wiggle or jump around. Sadness might be a huge physical pain in their throat and heart. Everything they experience is still relatively new to them, so there is very little frame of reference to decide if this is a "big hurt that will last forever and ever and never go away", or a "small hurt, that can be fixed easily and won't matter in five minutes". If someone lies to them about getting a cookie, that very well might be all the betrayal of your best friend sleeping with your husband.
Fortunately, a child probably won't be able to burn all your clothes in the yard without your notice.
