Little Circus of Horrors Preview 2

Here’s a second preview into LCoH! It’s coming along well. Warning for mild child abuse. 

Jerome woke up, going about his day as normal and thankfully, true to her word, no one was able to see Olivia as he helped around the circus grounds. He didn’t even mind doing his chores now as it let him show Olivia around while not looking like he was talking to no one. He was also able to sneak her little treats here and there, even sharing a bit of his lunch with her; a simple peanut butter and jelly with chips and juice. Halfway through the day she would curl up inside his jacket pocket and doze off.

Feeling her sleeping form in his pocket, he remembered that she didn’t have any sort of blanket. Could she get cold? He wondered this and other things as he kept an eye out for any sort of decent fabric he could clean for her in case she ever got cold during the night.

A few nights after she had unofficially moved into the circus, Olivia was fluttering around the Valeska trailer when she heard shouting and what sounded like striking sounds, crying soon reaching her ears. She appeared at the window and saw the woman Jerome referred to as mother screaming at the boy. Jerome was on the floor, a hand covering his face and his body shaking.

The young fairy felt her blood boiling seeing this disturbing interaction. Her eyes narrowed at the woman, going wide as she grabbed a corded object and raised it over her head. She was screaming about Jerome pulling a knife on his brother, but she had been with him all day. He had done no such thing. Olivia glared fiercely at the ‘mother’ and felt her magic spring to life, the object of punishment suddenly catching on fire and burning his assailant’s hand slightly, a feeling of pride at hurting the one who was attacking her friend.

Lila dropped the cord, both her and Jerome staring at it as purple flames filled the air with the disgusting stench of melting plastic. Lila shrieked at Jerome to get out as she opened the windows in the main room of the trailer. Jerome didn’t need to be told twice as he dashed out of the trailer, Olivia following him as he hid himself in the outskirts of the trailers and tents.

[ao3-ichigokage]

Okay so I have an original story idea that I want to see through. Olivia is in it and magic is still a huge focus but I’m working on it being a found family story as she takes in four orphans; two witches and two warlocks.

Olivia is half white and half Hispanic.

The oldest of the orphans is a black boy around 17 I think? He is extremely protective of the group.

The second oldest is a Native American girl. She’s 15. So far I have that she likes cryptids.

The third is a 14 year old boy. So far Mexican.

And the youngest is a 13 year old Chinese girl.

I really want to show the magic of other cultures and just bring other ethnicities for representation. I do know that people aren’t typically happy when a white person like myself writes about things like voodoo and I respect that.

If anyone could maybe hop in my DMs I’d love to talk about mysticism and such of other cultures on top of researching it myself. I was considering the Native girl having an affinity for shape shifting due to the whole Skinwalker folklore but that could be seen as disrespectful and I really want to avoid that.

I need to think of their names and more of their personalities as well.

Sin City to Sin City Ch 4 Preview 1

~~~~~~~~

Decided to upload a preview of something I’m working on. But, I’m not far enough yet in Little Circus of Horrors to give another preview yet. Hoping to remedy that today! So, here is a preview of the next chapter of my full Gotham fanfic: Sin City to Sin City! I hope to get it done sometime in early November. I shall also work on Kinktober here and there as I’m inspired. I’m over halfway through it and, although it’s given me grief, I would like to see it through. Even if it takes longer than this month.

You can read Sin City to Sin City on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/26266273

“The place is lookin’ great, Raoul.” The woman spoke and the man walked forward and his eyes widened and he couldn’t fight the smile that came across his face. A smile of relief as he dashed to the woman and embraced her tightly, easily lifting her from the ground and holding her close.

“You finally got out!” he cheered then set Olivia down, his drowsiness had now vanished at the sight of the woman he saw as a sister. “You just get out? You didn’t contact me?” he asked and looked her over. “Doesn’t look like you’ve been hurt at all. You mentioned some dickhead was givin you grief.”

Olivia rolled her eyes at the mention of the annoyance. “Dicky but you can bet your ass he lived up to the name. This asshole tried making me his prison wife or something. So I said ‘fuck you’, he strangled me then I boxed his ears.” Olivia laughed at the memory of Sionis dropping after she knocked the wind out of him. “It was hilarious honestly. He kept just getting in my way. Sending people to attack me. The week before I got out I nearly gouged a man’s eyes out cause of his pitiful ego.” She told him as she regaled her dear friend with how her time in Arkham went down.

“I remember you talking about another guy. Redhead like you. He didn’t attack you did he?” Raoul asked, more than willing to throw down for Olivia in an instant.

“Yeah…the one we kept hearing about before I was arrested; Jerome. Pretty cute guy I won’t lie. He was part of Sionis’ crew, the one that actually introduced me to the guy. He couldn’t be bothered to do it himself, the lazy little dick. But, we got along pretty well all things considered.” Jerome’s smile formed in her mind, his laughter reverberating in her head. “More than just pretty cute. Really fucking handsome and charming.” She bit her tongue at the thoughts however and shook her head.

Raoul sighed and wrapped an arm around Olivia’s shoulder. “There’s no one saying you can’t fall in love, boss. You’re still human.” He told her in a soft and reassuring tone.

Olivia shook her head again. “I’m tired of being hurt, Raoul. If I do find someone, they’re gonna have to be pretty damn special. And probably persistent as hell…” She pushed herself away from the man, hiding her face with her long hair. “You heading out somewhere?” she asked, brushing over the topic of her love life.

“Oh yeah. I was getting ready to get myself some good coffee and donuts for the workers. They’ll be here soon. You want anything, boss?” he asked her and he checked his pockets to make sure he had his keys and wallet.

Olivia waved her hand with a soft dismissal. “Nah. I grabbed something from a truck on the way here. I’ll take you sometime. Best sandwich I’ve ever had. I’ll take a jelly donuts though!” She began to look around, more than content with how the club looked. “You go on ahead, hun. I’m gonna stay and just look around. Been thinking about this place while I was locked up. I also better not go out unless necessary until I make my deal with the family.” She added, hand reaching into her top and pulling out the stone that helped her complete her mission.

Jerome and his acts

[whitepeopletwitter]

[ao3-ichigokage]

So an idea of how Jerome and Olivia are as a couple is very similar to Garrus Vakarian and Commander Shepard from Mass Effect. Their banter and ride or die loyalty is a big foundation of their whole relationship.

Built off a solid friendship; Jerome doing most of the pursuing as Olivia is fed up with being snubbed by love. But we all know Jerome is determined when there’s a goal he desires.

Little Circus of Horrors Preview 1

Bear in mind, this dialogue can change once I read through the completed work! I will do a few more little sneak peaks as I work through this as well. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As he tried to shut out the world around him, a strange twinkling made his ears perk. The sound reminded him of running one’s fingers through a set of wind chimes. Jerome let his body relax enough so he could look around and a faint purple glow not far from him caught his eye.

Curiosity got the better of him, he stood and cautiously moved closer to the tiny glowing that was almost fully hidden in the grass. As he crept closer, he could hear the same twinkling sound, the glow flickering. He gulped and took a deep breath before he crouched down and carefully moved the grass to finally expose whatever was trying to hide. What he saw took his breath away and he was utterly transfixed upon his discovery.

[mysharona1987]

You ALL be regretting writing, or attempting to write, that book or script about the serial killer.

Prosecutor: “The defendant googled ‘How does a murderer clean up the scene?’ is that not highly suspicious?!”

Sobbing writer: “But it was for my pulp crime novel! And I still can’t get a publishing deal!”

[grouchycritic7794]

My worst fear has been realised.

[goodzillo-deactivated20220127]

I’m not saying this to be a mean stick in the mud, but this isn’t going to affect fiction writers lol. Researching your crime noire novel (or, let’s be honest, fan fiction) isn’t going to get you arrested. The case reported on had this used to create a profile of narrowed down suspects related to a vandalism, without needing a specific warrant. When this gets used further, it will be primarily to profile activists (especially black activists) based on who searched for organizing efforts related to certain protests, or some similar measure against dissent. It’s not going to be used directly against you in court unless a warrant is issued, which has been a factor for years now.

As with most privacy concerns these days, the issue isn’t so much what it will do to any one specific person, but how it empowers law enforcement to enact wider authoritarian controls on populations using such enformation. More invasive methods of monitoring become more widespread and ubiquitous reprisals.

Regardless, you should already be moving away from using google as your primary search engine.

The Little Circus Of Horrors

Alright so this is an announcement of a oneshot that has been in my head for well over a month. It’s partially inspired by The Little Shop of Horrors and is an AU. 

A seven year old Jerome; running away to solitude to cry after another round of abuse discovers a dying fairy. He helps her recover and she tells him her name; Olivia. This fairy becomes viciously protective of little Jerome, offing any that harm him. 

Pretty much me wanting the ones who made Jerome’s life hell will suffer in this oneshot. He’s crazy yes, but if he had a better upbringing...who knows, he could have been better maybe. OR that could just be wishful thinking. 

I will have this out on Halloween. Not sure how long it will be but I am actually excited for this! 

[ao3-ichigokage]

I’m considering calling off Kinktober. I do have a few more that I typed. I’m just second guessing everything now. Is it good enough? Is it sexy enough? And I haven’t started the Little Circus of Horrors one shot. I’m feeling more stressed than excited now especially with how my focus and concentration is having it take me hours to finish even one prompt because I get sidetracked.

There are maybe two or three more I REALLY want to do so I may do those and just be done. I bit off more than I can chew and I feel terrible given that this has gotten a lot of hits on AO3. No comments yet but oh well.

So yeah. I think Kinktober is pretty much over. I want to enjoy this month with the oneshot and watching spooky things and playing games. But I refuse to force writing out. It doesn’t do anyone any good. I as the writer just feel a kind of shame, you the reader won’t get proper and fulfilling content. It’s how I feel anyway.
