Joel turns around. Martyn is standing there. His eyes are a burning red that gives Joel the heebie-jeebies. If anyone would know to be scared, it's Joel! He would! He'd recognize a mad dog if he saw one anywhere!
Anyway, all of that is to say that his high-pitched scream had been totally justified. "Oh my word Martyn what are you doing here?" he says, clutching his hand over his heart, several feet further back than he'd been thirty seconds ago.
Martyn snorts. "Is the sign not for me? Figured there was no one else it could be for."
"The what?"
"The sign."
Joel turns around. Outside his base, the other Mounders have hung a helpful banner: "SORRY EVERYONE YOU LOVE IS DEAD <3".
He'd told them it was kind of rude, hanging that up. Sort of made light of the whole thing, really. His wife and Mumbo and Jimmy had died, guys, don't be idiots about it. Bdubs had loudly told him that he was TRYING to be helpful, Joel, geez, why don't you appreciate his efforts? Pearl had shrugged and said they don't exactly make cards for this kind of thing. Joel's pretty sure they do, actually but...
Sorry everyone you love is dead. Hah.
"My wife is dead, Martyn," Joel says.
"Who, Lizzie or Jimmy?" Martyn says, weirdly dark. "Anyway, my husband's dead, so--"
"Your what?"
"Mumbo and I got married one time. Everyone forgets that for some reason."
Joel has to think about it a while. "Huh."
"Yeah. Anyway, you've still got the other Mounders, huh? Don't know what you're crying about. Thought the sign had to be for me. Thought I'd show up. Get cake. Kill some people. You know how it is."
"If there's a TNT minecart in my base, the first thing I do after I turn red is kill you," Joel says.
"That's not really how it works this time," Martyn says.
"Yeah, well, screw you," Joel says. "Also, they didn't make me any cake. I should ask them for that next. Hah. A cake."
"You know, maybe don't ask for that? Parties tend to go wrong in this game."
"And who's fault is that, huh?"
"Hey, don't look at me! Or, do. Since I'm going to kill everyone, on account of everyone I love being dead and all. Really convenient excuse for murder, that. I should use it more often, if it didn't involve the crippling grief," Martyn says.
"Oh, please. At least you tend to have people to love in the first place," Joel snaps.
"Oh, right, that is your curse, isn't it?" Martyn says. "Sorta broke it last time, but you do tend to get isolated and a bit crazy. Hey, I wonder if we're the ones who traded, actually what with the whole wolf thing."
Joel blinks. "What?"
"Oh, we're all cursed," Martyn says. "After all, They like it better that way. Hey, do you think Jimmy's curse transferred to Lizzie, got cancelled out by the fact Lizzie tends to die stupidly, or got broken? Personally, I'm thinking random fluke, when it comes to canary nonsense."
Joel stares at Martyn. His throat is dry. "What?"
Martyn stares back. "Hey, I'm the mad dog this time," Martyn says. "You probably shouldn't be the one growling."
"Well then, you should stop saying stupid shit," Joel says.
"Stupid? Please. It's obvious everyone is cursed. Nothing to be done about it but to play into the--"
"NO ONE IS BLUMIN' CURSED," Joel shouts, his vision suddenly red and blurry in a way it shouldn't be when he's still on yellow. "NO ONE IS BLUMIN' CURSED. THERE'S NO SUCH THING! YOU'RE JUST, JUST MAKIN' UP REASONS IT ISN'T ALL A TRAGEDY THAT EVERYONE I LOVE IS FUCKING DEAD, MAKING UP REASONS THAT IT--NO ONE IS CURSED! IT JUST HAPPENS! IT JUST HAPPENS! IT JUST FUCKING HAPPENS! AND WOULDN'T IT BE BLUMIN' NICE IF THERE WERE A HIGHER POWER BUT THERE ISN'T SO SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT CURSES!"
He's panting. Martyn is staring at him. He stares back, a snarl on his teeth, the echoes of wolves and of grief, grief, grief, grief playing at the back of his throat.
"Joel?" Martyn says, hesitant.
"My wife is fucking dead. My best friend is fucking dead. One of my new possible best friends is fucking dead. Sorry about your husband, I guess? Get out."
"Bold thing to say to the guy who can kill--"
"I SAID GET OUT!"
Martyn stares at Joel a moment longer, and Joel finds he's not scared of the madness in his eyes at all.
Martyn leaves.
Joel realizes he's crying. The tears turn into giant, ugly sobs. Sorry everyone you love is dead. Sorry everyone you love is dead. Sorry everyone you love is dead.
"I blumin' hate caring about people," he says to no one at all through choked breaths, and he kicks a rock at the banner for good measure. It pokes a little hole through it and bounces off the dick-shaped tower behind it.
"Someone really should have made both of us a blumin' cake, they should," he says next, and he sits down until Pearl runs over, having heard the shouting. His face is red and his vision is still swimming. She stares at him, gathers him in her arms, and cries with him, and for the life of him, he doesn't know if that's any better.

wrote out a whole thing about imagining as part of my writing process and how much of my first drafting is actually done internally but it sounded kind of obnoxious accidentally like “ummm guys well everything in my head is so vivid 👍” which i don’t think me experiencing writing in my head vividly is special it’s just what my brain does 👍 but anyway how much of a first draft is a first draft when i will write a passage in word but that passage has lived in my head for weeks sometimes months mostly written out because i will write out scenes in my head and just let them marinate up there and somehow I don’t forget it

I don't know if y'all know how extensive my GIF searches are for my fanfics.
I will comb through different phrases for hours-
(I've found 'rick grimes beard' and 'rick grimes grin' have some QUALITY works. For my fellow rick girlies.)

Also, I gotta say, because I did draft the results post in advance obviously, I DO fully understand how Sam's ad bits end up so absurd, like, the moment you commit to a bit you really just have to keep escalating, jesus christ.

NaNo post?? Anyone want a NaNo post?
*slinks into view* Okay so you guys know how I came in here a little while back with Wooded One? Forget all about that for now we have a new contender that appeared to me in a dream and hijacked my brain and decided it wanted to be my NaNo project (hilarious given I haven’t officially done NaNo since the site change)
so uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yea say hi to The Goddess’s Eye!
Someone was calling me. The air was alive with it, trembling with the ghost of words. Pulling me across the sand, guiding me over endless dunes and past vast, towering plateaus. Pulling and pulling and calling. It sang to me, an insistent tug that compelled me to move, to follow. It sounded so kind, so imploring.
I knew the voice, even before I could hear it. Recognized it on a deep inner level I didn’t understand but inherently resonated with. It was familiar. I knew the source, even though I couldn’t place it. And it knew me. It needed me.
“...child...my child...come...”
I jerked awake and nearly fell out of my perch, scrambling to right myself before I went crashing down to the jagged rocks below the tiny platform.
I’d fallen asleep in the middle of my watch. Careless.
Blinking and disoriented, I rubbed my eyes and peered around, dismayed to see it was already dark. I knew right away I’d managed to sleep through the first hour of night—the safest hour—and to top it off I’d lost sight of my quarry.
Grumbling, I peeked out from under my sun cover and switched to night vision. That was precious time lost, time I’d now need to spend finding and getting to my target before other animals arrived. I wasn’t looking forward to wrestling a night boar—again—for chunks of cacti.
So yeah this is what I’ll be (hopefully) working on next month! If we get anywhere good I’ll share a few juicy bits here~ Until then wish me luck (this project is approx....3 weeks old hAHA) and also good luck to all of your writing efforts!!

For the 70s/80s music ask game, ‘Let’s Dance’ for anyone, for no reason other than my favorite musician wrote that song (is that the correct way to say that??? I’m new to music small talk. And music that isn’t just video game OSTs in general. And will that opinion have me judged? Sorry if I’m being awkward,)
~stars-n-freckles45
OOOO David Bowie goes BRRR <33 Dw about being awkward, music small talk (for me at least) either goes "this song made me cry you should listen to it", "this reminds me of you/your OC(s)", or "you just unlocked a memory about music and I'm gonna go down a rabbithole about it" so shghsg- Also!! Video game OSTs are so fucking good dude like.....omge. ANYWHO ANYWHO, I answered this with Iceberg bc I'm melting from brainrot to the point of no return <3
David Bowie - Let’s Dance: Are there any songs you’ve picked up from your F/O or their media, or because they remind you of them?
One song that reminds me of him for no reason is "Touch-Tone Telephone" by Lemon Demon. There's no reason, I just think it fits :]
Onto the songs that I can go and ramble about-
"Cold Cold Cold" by Cage The Elephant reminds me of him. Considering that he is literally Cold™️. I feel like he'd scream this song in his car before going into work....... "Some Rotten Man" by The Taxpayers but it's in an angst way,,,like. Hang on I need a specific lyric-
"Some rotten man. Nobody's savior. Your oldest friend" LIKE I can literally picture him saying those to me. "Some rotten man" in passing conversation. "Nobody's savior" after something Goes Wrong At Work™️. "Your oldest friend" whispered in the dark when he thinks I'm asleep.
"Mary On A Cross" by Ghost because like.......he's got some Abnormal Thing about him (his body temp is like....19.4° F) and my self insert has some Abnormal Thing about them (their eyes are glitchy! Like when they're confused their eyes show a literal bluescreen)!! SO THE "your beauty never ever scared me" HITS SO HARD............
"Hayloft II (Burning Barn Acoustic)" by Mother Mother is another and it's specifically the Acoustic bc that one itches my brain so hard. There's something about it that carries his Unhinged yet Contained energy so perfectly.
There's so many more but at the rate I'm going I'll never end this MSGHSHGHH..........

The major one besides the cueball-headed guy, or the major one IS the cueball-headed guy? Fr, tho, I doubt Beta Trolls would've done anywhere near as good if they weren't raised on murder paradise Alternia, where knowing how to fight and adapt to the situation was very much life or death matter. Given how much personal drama they've had? Without that world setting their priorities straight, things would've likely ended up differently ✨️
Ngl I completely forgot about him again \/\/\/

Quick Dema/Clancy inspired sketch and mini fic.
This is a lot of how imagine the torture in Dema, by Keons and the less physically violent Bishops especially.
The first time Clancy is taken to the Tower of Silence he doesn’t know what to expect. He is chained to the wall in a room with the only source of light as the vials. He spends his first day in terror of what may be coming. He cannot sleep with the vials searing into his mind, even when his eyes are closed.
He doesn’t know how many days pass. He doesn’t feel hungry, he doesn’t remember how to feel. Why did he make such a stupid mistake as to end up here? What did he think he was accomplishing? Who did he think he was helping?
He pulls against the chains to break the vials, to get out, and only succeeds in bruising his wrists.
Tyler tells him his letters failed to help anyone, and put the Banditos in more danger. Josh comes with the Banditos to rescue him, but turns away from releasing him. “You’re just not worth the effort,” he says, “We only have so much time and we have to prioritize”. Josh leaves and Keons is there, slamming him against the wall.
Clancy slams his head against the wall, trying to make the voices stop. He screams to no one, begging for forgiveness. He pulls against the chains until his wrist shatters, blood running down his arms in parallel to his tears.
The door opens to a silhouetted red figure, and all Clancy can do is kneel to the ground as far as the chains allow, and numbly recite the tenets of Dema. Every time he blinks the room shifts, people enter and people leave. There are hands on him, and then nothing. The room shifts into a hallway, then into a door, then into the outside.
The outside.
Clancy is heedless of the polluted air of Dema, the oppressive smog and lack of stars. He breaths for the first time in two weeks. His hands are shaking but it’s the only thing he can be sure is real. Is truly happening.
He barely stumbles back to his apartment. His hand on the door, and it takes everything he has to open it and step back into the dark.
Tyler would tell him he needs to eat, then provided bland food he could keep down. Josh would’ve guided him to a chair, then cleaned and bandaged his wrists. Clancy braces himself not to flinch from the echo of his friend’s voices in his head. Their voices used to comfort him.
He makes it as far as the bathroom before he collapses against the sink, staring at his own shattered reflection, too exhausted and numb to cry.
Assured in the realization that Keons had fundamentally broken something in him.
