The Duality of Ancients

online communities are so strange because people slip away so easily. you can be on here for years, folding people you've never met into the fabric of your daily life, and then they disappear, leaving only ghost posts scattered across tumblr behind. or their blog stays dormant, for weeks, months, years, until you're only still following them because you remember that they love sunflowers or they were kind to you when they didn't have to be or the last thing they posted was sad and raw and you still worry about them sometimes.

and sometimes they come back when you least expect it, years later, even, and there's this sudden rush of relief like there you are, there you are, even though you barely knew each other.

there's a strange kind of love to it. i don't know you and i want to hold your hand across miles and time zones and oceans. i can still see the imprint of you in this community you left. you don't think anyone will notice or care when you're gone, but we notice and we care and we wish you well.

i hope you're all okay out there. i hope the sun is shining on your face and you are breathing deeply. i miss you.

If you ever tagged me to do one of those tag game thingies and I never did it:

1) Thank you, seriously. Those are fun and being included shows that my followers care enough to want to learn more about me.

2) Very sorry about that, it’s extremely likely that I said to myself “Cool! But I’m busy at the moment, I’ll have to do this later today or tomorrow” before proceeding to just straight-up forget, now it’s too far back in my notifications and/or your blog to find again.

Complete with a graphic this time, how quaint! This may or may not be permanent; I am testing things.

Anyway, hello! For those unacquainted: my name is Sea and I have a habit of taking on far too many community projects. This is one of my single-word fic prompts, launched 4/24, to encourage more spontaneous writing amongst FFXIV creatives. ✨

What is a fic drive, Sea?

By liking/reblogging this post, you consent for me to go into your askbox to send a one-word prompt generated from this website, picked from a selection of five, as a prompt for you to write to for your OC(s)! I also reblog any and all completed works to my character question tag, which can be found here.

There is no word limit, no time limit and you are welcome to ask for another prompt if the original one doesn't vibe. This is all about giving you the opportunity to explore a concept or part of your character you might not have considered otherwise!

Unlike my bigger character question drives, these single-word fic drives are opened in small bursts. To that end, this drive is considered open until my Sunday night, April 28. I have created a countdown timer here OR you can join my Discord at SEAFLOOR! where I will utilise the Discord timestamp feature (please note you must be 21+ to join and adhere to all the rules therein).

Have a great day/night!
