Since I just started being active on here again, I tought about making a new intro post to pin and reblog!
On this blog I will mainly post about my Wips, do tag and ask games, post about worlbuilding, and reblog writing tips. All asks are welcome, and if you want to be added to the taglist or if you would like to receive asks, let me know! My intro is under the cut!
Okay guys opinion that does not have anything to do with writing.
So I'm white and I was thrifting and I found a really cool shirt about Jazz music (which I love), but now I'm having second thoughts because the musicist drawn is black and it's drawn in a cartoony style. Would it be appreciating jazz or kinda racist to wear that?
This is the shirt btw, help?
Active writeblrs?
Yelling out into the writeblr void because I haven't been active on here in over a year and my dash is super empty, so if you're a writeblr please reblog this âĄ
I especially love horror, mysteries, and really anything about queer characters!
My primary project is a southern gothic horror about a girl returning to hometown after more than a decade, which you read more about on my intro post.
Reading a book about slavery in the middle-ages, and as the author sorts through different source materials from different eras, I am starting to understand why so many completely fantastical accounts of "faraway lands" went without as much as a shrug. The world is such a weird place that you can either refuse to believe any of it or just go "yeah that might as well happen" and carry on with your day.
There was this 10th century arab traveller who wrote into an account that the fine trade furs come from a land where the night only lasts one hour in the summer and the sun doesn't rise at all in the winter, people use dogs to travel, and where children have white hair. I don't think I'd believe something like that either if I didn't live here.
I mean honestly everything that Arab traveler said lines up with the Arctic areas, except the white hair part, I don't know where that originates from, or if it's accurate
If I had to guess, maybe they had albinism? Or maybe it's one of those cases where kids sometimes start out with one hair color and develop a different one when they get older. This is all conjecture, but something to consider.
Still really cool tho
guys, the traveler just wasnt used to blondes
Also, languages develop words for colors over time so they get grouped with the closest one. That's why people with orange hair are called redheads. The word for red is generally the third color that gets a name. There wasn't always a word for the color orange, but there have almost always been people with orange hair.
And the Romans in Rome were fascinated by the Celtic slaves brought back from the British Isles because of their fair hair and skin.
For the sake of "I would not believe it either if I didn't live here" kind of context, this is a perfectly normal hair colour for children where I'm from. It darkens to a dark ash blond/sand brown when they grow up.
So what I learned from this is even in modern times, people donât know or believe that Scandinavians are just that pale and blond without jumping to âalbinoâ first
You wouldnât have believed the 10th century Arab guy either.
For the assumption thing! (Let's pretend you don't know who I am)
You have a cat (black)
You are allergic to one specific type of flower
You sleep with your socks on
Upon waking up you think of breakfast first thing first (like first thought in your mind)
You are fun!! (Non negotiable)
sadly I do not have a cat! I really wish though⊠someday guys, somedayâŠ
you know, I probably am and I just donât know it because Iâve never encountered that specific flower. It sounds like something Iâd be allergic to; who knows.
Oh, lord, no. I could never sleep with my socks on. It just doesnât work.
I used to think of breakfast first, when I actually had a decent eating schedule, but sadly I do not think of yummy food first thing in the morning. One day Iâll get there⊠one dayâŠ
Yay! I am fun <33
ON THE STAGE IN MY HEELS /
ITS WHERE I BELONG
for the âanonymously submitting assumptionsâ ask thingy:
I presume you:
âą have freckles
âą wear a lot of rings or gold jewelry
âą have a very specific favorite vegetable
âą are very cool and awesome (you cannot deny this one <3)
I have exactely three (3) freckles
I wear gold jewellery but I do not wear rings
In winter I basically only eat broccoli
This was so accurate lol
Anonymously tell me your assumpmtions about me and I'll confirm or deny them.
looking for fantasy writeblrs !!
my dash has once again gone dead (writeblr content-wise at least), so if any of the following applies to your wips, or i'm on any of your taglists, please reblog/reply to this post ! boosts & recs are also welcomeđ
dark fantasy, high fantasy, and/or adult fantasy
gothic horror/fantasy
historical/historically inspired low fantasy
folklore or fairy tale retellings
no romance arcs/romance is not the primary focus of the novel or the primary relationship
lots & lots of political intrigue
and a grab bag of antiheroes, revenge plots, tragic endings, unreliable narrators, false prophets, cruel gods, stolen identities, family curses, faustian bargains, falls from grace, unchosen ones, god complexes, defying destiny, vampires, werewolves, and other fun creatures
Hi!! For the book genre ask game:
Romance đ©ââ€ïžâđ©: a relationship dynamic in your wip/s that you want to talk about
Fantasy âš: what is something in your wip/s that is unique to your world?
Hello hello! Thanks for the ask!
Romance: romantically speaking, there are not many relationships in my book. I considered turning the relationship between Katz and Souad romantic, but I realized that I do not really feel like it. I do not have space for a romance subplot, at least not as things are now. I still plan to make them very close friends with time, even if they start out as plain enemies.
Fantasy: I do not know if there is something truly unique in the sense of never done before. I took inspiration from a lot of the media I personally enjoy. Something that could be unique I think is the magic system. It comprises 8 elements and it is based loosely on Taoism. The elements are, in order of difficulty to master: wind, fire, water and earth, mountain, thunder, sky, lake.
Typically individuals only master one during their lifetime. There are specialized schools, and also normal schools which teach one type of magic as an elective. There are schools specific for wind, or water, or any other type and there is an enormous school, which has the boarding school model, which makes all types magic an integral part of the curriculum (like one of those private schools that have multiple grades in it, and are extremely specialized and with a good reputation).
Hello, my fellow writers of tumblr!
I have another big "boost writers" idea that I've had previously (aka like... two years ago) that I'm finally wanting to really focus more attention and time on, since I now have more time to focus on it...
It's called The Writeblr Rag and it's a newspaper ABOUT writeblr. I have a blog for it (@thewriteblrrag) and it's slowly been in the works over time... but I finally want to actually see if I can work up an idea for the first paper.
To the point: my fantasy writers, I want the first front page to be about a fantasy writer/WIP. So if you guys write fantasy, can you please let me know if you'd be interested in being on this front page?
It'd contain a little Q&A about your writing & WIP. I'd probably ask you about your writing processes, how you got into writing, etc. I also plan to have the writer featured on the games page as that paper's crossword puzzle. So I'd be combing through your blog for some words I could use for it. đ€ so if you have ideas for words that you feel would be fairly easy to find but people would still have to go to your blog to find them, feel free to hint it at me!
If you're interested, reach out to me at @queerlilchinchin (my main blog) and we can see about details. If I get multiple people... I'm not sure what I'll do to decide who, but everyone can be featured, they just won't all be one the front page.
If you're still reading but you write other genres besides fantasy, please reach out to me and let me know (via the same blog as listed above) if you'd like to be featured on the first paper and I'll be also featuring a few other genres, most likely the ones I get the most submissions from.
Umm, what else... if you have friends you think might be interested, please tag them to this so they can see it and we'll see if they'd like to be in it!
I really want to finally kick this thing off, so let's see if anyone's still interested! Thanks ahead of time for any boosts.

Awww id love to!!
When I was a child, every well-meaning adult with a nine-to-five soul and a dried-up imagination told me that being a writer wasnât a âreal job.â
âYouâre just a little girl with big words,â they said. âBooks donât pay the bills.â
As if paying bills was the most thrilling thing a person could live for.
I never understood why grown-ups were so committed to shoving a fire extinguisher down the throat of a kid who just wanted to tell stories.
I kept wondering, why is it so threatening for a little girl to believe her words could matter?
Now I know why.
Because they never had a dream of their own.
And when youâve never had one or gave yours up a long time ago, itâs easier to mock someone elseâs.
Itâs easier to roll your eyes at someone chasing stars when youâve chosen to stay face-down in the dirt.
And still⊠I write. Not because I was told I couldnât. But because I had to.
Because I promised that little girl Iâd keep going, even when it hurt. Especially when it hurt.
The thing is. Paying the bills isn't thrilling but it's necessary. How will you write when they cut you off from the electrical line and cannot see your notebook? How will you think about words when you are not hungry?
People who say that didn't not "not have a dream", they had one, and if they gave it up it is not because they chose to likely, but they were led to. They do not choose to stay face down in the dirt, they have to keep practical things on top before being able to dedicate to hobbies.
I know, I would love to be a professional writer. I also know that if I flop, I will be left with no option or with a low paying unskilled job.
I encourage all artists to write and draw and do art in spite of the difficulties, but not by being dumb about it. Please I beg all kids out there who plan to drop out of school or whatever to become full time artists or writers. The industry is big, flopping is easy. Much easier than succeeding. Please work towards your goal with a plan B in act
(for everyone wondering, I'm in uni studying business and languages, which will lead me to a job that pays high enough, so that I won't need to worry too Much about stuff, and I will be able to have money and time and resources for my hobby. Which is writing. And I still write in my free time all the time)
Please aspire high but don't be stupid
Fantasy Guide: Horses, Steeds and Mounts
Horses are a staple of fantasy. Instead of writing them as emotionless vehicles lets give them life.
Horse Terminology

Stallion: male horse, more agressive
Foal: baby horse
Filly: girl baby horse
Colt : boy baby horse

Colour
When writing horses, we like to colour them in. Make sure to have a look at my colours post for some symbolic choices.
Appaloosa: white hair and dark patches
Bay: red-brown, dark, mahogany bay, red bay, sandy are all common shades but bay must always have a hint of black.
Black: black but keep in mind that pure black is very rare.

Palomino: golden coat, white mane
Piebald â dark-skinned, with large splotches of black and white
Roan: blue or strawberry; mixed colored and white hairs. A blue roan has black and white manes, red roans have white manes.
Physical signs
These all tell you what the horse is telling you. Listen to your horse.
Blow: exhaling through the nose. This indicates curiousness and often followed by nuzzling.
Breathing: Yes, check if the horse is breathing first. Always a good point. But yes, horses have a resting breath that is relaxed. Changes to this could mean anxiety or fear.
Ears are up and pointed forward: alert and interested
Ears are pointed out to the side: Sleepy, tired, unwell or submissive.
Ears are pointed up: unwell or bored
Ears are back and pinned flat against the head: angry and aggressive. Fuck off right now or youâll catch these hooves.
Neigh/Whinny: a sound made to look for company in people or horses.
Nicker: usually means âhelloâ in either a friendly context or a mating context. Mama horse will nicker to their kids.
Scream: usually while fighting some other horses.
Snort: exhaling through the nose sharply which is code for whereâs the danger.
Feeding time
Horses need to be fed and itâs expensive. Horses are the most costly thing for a castle or army to have. It takes money to field a large calvary so make sure you have some food on board.
Apples and fruit.
Barley
Bran
Grass
Hays
Oats
Root vegetables â beetroot, carrots, parsnips, and turnips
Tack
Corn
Tack
This is the term for your horses kit. This will be a basic list.
Saddle: Your seat on the horse
Stirrups: supports that hang from either side of the saddle to support the feet.
Girth: A belt that fastens the saddle to the horse.
Bridle: The bit that goes over the horseâs face
Reins: connected to the bridle and ensures you have a grip
Bit: this is what the horse has between its teeth.
Horn: a raised portion of the saddle that sits at the point where the saddle is close to the neck.
Blanket: a drape of fabric used to warm a horse or stop rubbing from the saddle.
Things you ought to know about horses
Riding bareback (i hear you laughing, pervert) is actually quite hard and dangerous
Horses have limits and most canât gallop all night without a break
Horses often break legs and sometimes must be put down (honestly fuck you Veronica, #cobalt deserved better)
Horses die in battle, not all horses make it out (you go, Joey)
Common horses mentioned in fantasy
Destrier: The most popular war horse of the medieval era. These horses are only ever really used by knights in battles, tournaments, and jousts. It was not the most common horse but it was considered the desired of horses even being called âthe greatâ. Usually male, these horses were renowned for their agility able to turn quickly making it suitable for battle. Destriers are expensive. When one looks in the histories you seen them going for almost ten times the price of another breed. The breed has since died out but scientists and equestrians have since been trying to reproduce them.
Courser: This was the more commonly used and available war horse. It is fast and strong horse ridden by knights and men-at-arms. They were not expensive than the destrier but still would cost a pretty penny.
Rouncey: A commonly used horse used anything and everything. Mostly used for riding, the horse could be trained for battle.
Palfrey: Would be an expensive horse for riding. It was a slender horse with an ambling gait so it was prized for traveling over distance.
Hunters: Or more commonly called Thoroughbred. The Thoroughbred is a fast horse and an agile one. Though vest for racing, the thoroughbred was mostly used when the nobility went riding in hunting excursions.
Having dreams crushed by disability is such a deeply traumatic experience, the realization that youâll never be able to do the thing you want most in life because your body isnât able to handle it. Waking up the day after you received the news and feeling that utter sense of heartbreak in your chest. Watching people go on and do those things while you sit on the sidelines, forced to watch bitterly. That feeling of being trapped, imprisoned by your inability to do what you love. The grief, the anger, the sadness. All because your body doesnât allow you to.
