what if alecto spontaneously drops on valentine’s day?

[mayasaura]

So. Anyone have intel on why Tamsyn Muir's website is now password locked?

@girlmanboything pointed it put to me, and I'm getting the same thing. Did something happen? ...is something happening?? 👀👀👀

When Varun speaks, only Nona can understand it. Everyone else just hears screaming.

And that makes me wonder....

Was Alecto trying to speak to John, back then? If so, I wonder what she was saying. If maybe things could have ended very differently, if he'd been able to understand her.

[clutteredatrium]

So I'm probably gasleaking rn but have you ever heard...

NASA's sonifications of electromagnetic vibration data collected from our solar system's planets?

Translation: the sounds that planets make, shifted to the range of human-hearing.

It sounds like screaming, by the way. (Skip to 1:31 for Alecto.)

(I can't find a good source to prove that youtube video was from Nasa, but here's the Nasa research page on sonifications in general: https://www.nasa.gov/missions/chandra/listen-to-the-universe-new-nasa-sonifications-and-documentary/)

When I was in college, my Creative Nonfiction professor would regularly have us do something she called "hotspotting" (she didn't know that this was already a term tbc) with our rough drafts. Basically, hotspotting is when you look at your draft and pick out your favorite sentence, or one of your favorite sentences--one that you're really proud of--and write it down in a blank sheet in a notebook. Not a new document, a physical notebook. (You are not allowed to use technology for hotspotting.) And then you set a timer for however long--like maybe ten to twenty minutes--and you elaborate. You treat that one sentence as if it's the opening sentence to a new draft, and you write from there, until the timer is up.

It sounds like a gimmick, but honestly, some of my best writing in that class came from hotspotting. Usually, the sentence you consider the "best" is the one that really gets to the heart of something you're trying to convey. In a rough draft, it tends to be that you're fumbling around a bit before you really hit on the heart of things. So with hotspotting, you're starting from a less fumbly place, which means you're able to dig into your subject in a much deeper and more precise way. It makes you feel like a surgeon, a little bit.

So I do recommend trying it, even just for fun, even if you think the rough draft you have is already good. You might surprise yourself with what you come up with! :)

tbh im not entirely immune to a villain with a tragic backstory but i do think villain origins are a lot more interesting when the focus is less "here is the original sin, the first big bad thing that happened to them that made them who they are" and more "here is the first time a person who maybe otherwise felt powerless in their life realized that they could hurt someone and get away with it"

[dateamonster]

you can get a lot more mileage out of analyzing a truly abhorrent character through the lens of like. what sort of conditions would allow or even incentivize this kind of cruelty? what kind of person benefits from those conditions and how? over the more typical who hurt them type analysis. imo.

“Hello Mr. and Mrs. Molloy, thank you for coming in, Kate has been doing very well in class, but I will say I am a bit concerned over a drawing-”

The em dash is a type of phallus that authors use to jerk off sentences

*** SPOILERS UNDER THIS*** Ending was brutal... I'm holding out for a very pathetic hope Gideon might have a physical body once again and a VERY self indulgent hope it goes Frankenstein style in book 2 ...

Gideon The Ninth- mock dustcover

I draw book covers for freelance all the time. I feel pretty lucky to do so, and wanted to create one with all my free will and spare time, to make just for me. Well, and for you lot as well. But mainly, for me.

I will be drawing book 2 and book 3 as well. And potentalially have prints of them later this year.
