Coastline Chapter 7 - Heavier

There’s something about magic that makes you feel alive. There is a pulse to it, like a heartbeat, like measured breaths, a cadence, a flow, a current. It is a coursing river, the rush of wind, a blazing fire, energy and warmth and life, cresting movement, ceaseless flow. You can taste it faintly in the air, sense it radiating from Sans, feel the tether of silver threads to your SOUL, and feel that core of your being shining like a sun burning with power.

Your SOUL sings with magic.

...It’s so easy to give in to that song.

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?

Soooo, it's been a while. Again. I haven't been very active online lately, I've had a lot of personal stuff going on (working a lot, bought a house and moved, a hundred obligations and responsibilities to take care of, stuff like that). However, I'm still writing when I can, and I've made some good progress on Coastline recently. I really want to get this fic finished before the summer is out. Here's hoping.

Coastline Chapter 6 - TELEKINETIC

You sighed a deep breath and Gaster pressed a knuckle under your chin, coaxing your eyes up towards his, eyelights warm in his dark sockets. <Look at me.> he signed with a single gesture before taking your other hand and began leading you in a dance. It had been a few months since your birthday when he gave you your first (and only) dancing lesson. How different things had been back then, Gaster now corporeal again and your SOULs fully bound. He wasn’t as close to you this time, but you could follow his steps well enough. One might expect an awkward geek from the former royal scientist, but he was nothing of the sort. His moves were perhaps as dated as Motley Crue, but he made dancing look effortless and easy, just oozing charisma in his graceful motions. You hoped you could mirror a fraction of that.

He leaned down, kissing your cheek before rumbling lowly in your ear, barely loud enough to be heard over the music, [Relax.] The husky whisper of his wingdings made shivers roll down your spine. Oh how the fuck could you relax when his voice sounded like that?  

Stop thinking, don’t worry over what you look like. Trust me.

A half-formed image of being in the water at sunset flashed through your mind. If he could face his fears, so could you.

Move with me.

Coastline Chapter 5 - Perspective

[Where do you think you’re going?] Gaster had drowsed, one long, skeletal arm curling around your middle when you tried to climb out of bed, pulling you back against his ribcage. He haden’t even looked at you, eye sockets still closed and his head half buried in a pillow.

“I’m...getting up?” you replied with a confused laugh.

[Not permitted.] he gruffly said, his voice partially muted by the pillow.

You giggled quietly at him, deciding five more minutes snuggled up with your boyfriend wouldn’t hurt.

Coastline Chapter 4 - Meteor Shower

You looked skyward and, much like the ocean view you’d shared earlier today, this too was nothing like your mindscape when you Fell. In your head, that sky was a perfect black with icy-white cold and distant stars, but here...

The cosmos stretched out before you in all its splendor. It was not monochrome, countless sparking stars glittered in shades of every hue, sprinkled through the Milky Way painted with a haze of purple and blue glowing dust. It was endless, an ocean of another sort that called to you just the same. Maybe it was the alcohol in your system, or just a feeling born of seeing so much space, so much more than you could ever perceive living near Ebott that had you lifting your arms, your fingers and magic reaching up into the empty air like you would float away amidst a celestial current, heedless of gravity’s pull.

And then then you were floating--Oh, wait, that was Gaster, lifting you up and cradling you in his arms. Your breath hitched in your chest as you beheld him properly now that your eyes had adjusted, his white bones bathed in starlight, exposed beneath his black, partially unbuttoned shirt. He effortlessly held you aloft, like you weighed no more than a feather, his skull canted up towards the heavens.

since mrs, ms, and mr are all descended from the latin word magister, i propose the gender neutral version should be mg, short for "mage"

[apolloendymion]

some people think this is a shitpost so i want to clarify that i am dead fucking serious. make mage the official gender neutral honorific NOW. i want it on my passport. i want it on my bank account. i want doctors and judges to use it for me. i don't care if it sounds a little silly. people thought "missus" sounded crass at first. call me mg.

[apolloendymion]

benefits of mg:

easy to pronounce, even for children (though kids 4 & younger may pronounce it more like "mayd" or "maygh")

ONE SYLLABLE!!! ("individual" is too goddamn LONG.) you have to be able to say it quickly and casually

ends in a soft consonant sound, so it'll flow right into the next word ("ind" halts the whole sentence)

fits neatly into the existing structure as a relative of master/mistress that can be abbreviated down to an m and one other letter

distinct enough that it can't be mistaken for either gendered term (if you call me mix I'll kill you. it sounds like miss with extra steps)

wizard.

drawbacks:

there aren't any

yes, i know about milligrams and magnesium. i don't give a shit. ms can also mean microsoft. who cares.

[fallingstarstuff]

This, 100% this. This is now my official prefix. I hate Mx.

[sillylotrpolls]

Before voting, spin the wheel and get a Lord of the Rings character.

Would you fuck, marry, or kill this character?

Fuck

Marry

Kill

I realize the point of the game is to only have three options, BUT...

Voting ended onJun 11, 2024

Not sure who your character is? You can look them up on this Tolkien Gateway character list, or just vote based on vibes.

For the purposes of the game, assume your vote is not "LaCE compliant." (That is, fucking an elf does not instantly mean marriage or death for that elf.)

FIRST POST MWAHAHAHA

[divisionull]

I made an inaction figure of him. Editing CAD and then summoning the consequences with a 3D printer was one of the best ways to spend my wedged Golden Week. It took really long to finish the last step because of the delay in delivering white paint, the most important part.

☝︎I set white and red led for his eyes.

They are brighter than I expected!

(...If there are a lot of requests, there might be a slight possibility of selling this kind of thing. Do not trust my word fully... I’m just sayin’...)
