@indiglowsykes - Tumblr Blog

Hello, I'm Indiglow.

Sometimes I do things. Even more rarely, I post about them.

Current interests include writing, drawing, and languages, though I will occasionally steal other people's interests for variety.

I'm new to Tumblr, so chances are there are things I don't know yet. Like how to tag. Or Tumblr etiquette. Or why I'm here in the first place.

Enjoy the blog, I suppose, if you happen to have found it somehow.

explain your story/fic poorly

socially inept girl with a grudge against daylight saving’s halfway dies, spends 900 years trying to kill the person who halfway killed her first, and falls in love with that person’s sort-of-son (who also halfway dies).

shit which one 😭

uhm. a fae that doesnt know how to be a fae is trying to reclaim his magic when a bird decides its his boyfriend’s time, while he forces the fae to trauma-unlock his magic

Girl gets hit by Truck-kun, gets sent to place she knows almost nothing about, and keeps dying. She needs a hug. Many bug jokes (though most are on the outline) Potato sack

Too many options uhhhh

Local amnesiac starts a war*.

A girl who doesn't believe in magic, despite having superpowers, discovers the power of friendship. She promptly ignores this discovery to go beat up a cult.

The chosen one threatens to murder an eleven year old seer to avoid becoming involved in the latest prophecy. The planet throws a fit and tries to unravel because of it.

Water spirit can't figure out how to stop drowning.

Amnesiac (different one, this time) attempts to survive the zombie apocalypse on the power of books and a newly discovered affection for fire.

Took a wrong turn somewhere, and now I'm being haunted by world building for yet another fic idea I shouldn't write. My original works are mourning my loss. They're getting ready to hold a funeral due to how long I've been MIA. And the AUs are starting to develop AUs.

#indi says things

A random internet post told me to ramble about my characters. So! Without further ado.

Allie is an original character with dimensional powers, which results in a power set that merges teleportation and the ability to steal realities/retcon timelines. In practice this results in a creature that is essentially the human equivalent of Schrodinger's cat and has minor shapeshifting powers. Also terrible memory issues.

This means that she occasionally hops between different worlds that have wildly different opinions on what a "normal person" looks like, and with a background that includes getting cursed by a god, overcoming a possession, and reviving multiple times she occasionally ends up attempting to act natural only to realize that her eyes have been burning like the heart of a star this entire time and actually that is not a common color on this world.

Allie, attempting to charm her way into this world's secrets: "The idea really..." Random guy who's been attempting to look interested but keeps getting distracted: "Pardon me, but are your eyes supposed to be glowing yellow?" Allie: *hisses violently and attempts to reset like a broken printer * Allie: *blinks up again with innocent blue eyes that definitely weren't yellow half a second ago * "I have no idea what you mean."

anything u think about YOUR life after 10pm is bs to be ignored. anything u think about a character’s life after 10pm should be posted about online and expanded on for paragraphs. :)

#if you insist

Now, talking to Lyr one might get the impression that she is a reasonable, logical person. This is the introversion. Lyr learned over half of what she knows from the equivalents of bedtime stories, and fully believes that star-people grant wishes. She will not mention this to anyone, especially the star-person of her acquaintance, because what if it's rude.

"so your not offended by this." Said the imperial mage to his female colleague as they oversaw a village burn a witch at the stake "no that woman ate who knows how many children for who knows how long." She said "honestly thinking I'd have sympathy just because we're both woman is kinda worse."

indiglowsykes

Meg was expecting offense at being called out. Regardless of how long they'd been working together, most mages she interacted with were prideful enough to start grandstanding at the mere implication they'd done something wrong.

Instead the mage looked like he was trying to decipher a foreign language using a grammar book written five centuries ago. "So... you think... eating children is wrong?"

"What? Of course eating children is wrong. What are you-- Have you been eating children!?"

"No! No, why would I- no, yes, eating children is wrong I'm glad that I-- we--"

The realization hits like a wet sock. "You thought I was eating children."

"No! I mean, I'd never seen you eat children, and I thought there was a chance if you hadn't then you didn't like them--"

"Why would you work with me if you thought there was a chance I was eating children? No, why wouldn't you turn me in??"

Her friend looked sheepish, staring anywhere except her face. "Have I ever mentioned that I might have a slight loyalty problem?"

"In that you have too much of it? No!"

I immensely love that it took months for someone to be like..,,,. So uh Cessation is a really worrying name actually….

indiglowsykes

Cessation, like… the end? Lyr drifted back another half a block, glancing to the sea. She almost wanted to ask; didn’t dare to. What if she wasn’t supposed to notice?

A Myth Called Creation

Faeline were never meant to exist.

Creation Myth, part one

A Cruelty Borne of Love

Your best friend is dead at the hand of the person she loved the most.

You can no longer justify leaving that creature alive.

A group of Crows is called a Murder

Creation Myth, part two

You know, when I see fictional characters who repress all their emotions, they're usually aloof and very blunt about keeping people at a distance, sometimes to an edgy degree—but what I don't see nearly enough are the emotionally repressed characters who are just…mellow.

Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…

…they've never actually told you anything about themselves.

Won’t that only solve 75% of your problems?

The book solves half of your problems, not all of them

Say you have 8 problems. You read the book, and you have 4 problems. You read the book again gets rid of HALF, of those 4 problems. So you’re left with two. Out of the 8 problems, 6 were resolved and 6/8 is 75%.

Finally Tumblr can do math

avatar-of-the-vast

So, what you’re saying, is that if I buy infinite books, I will solve all of my problems, because the sum as n approaches infinity starting at 1 of (½)^n equals 1, which would be 100% of my problems.

acesian

No, you will only ever be able to become infinitely close to solving all of your problems, like this:

Please stop explaining math to me im gay

that’s why radioactive material is such a bitch! it only ever deteriorates relative to its mass so it will never completely vanish

Eventually the only problem you will have is this post, and I think we could all live well with that.

quecksilvereyes

It's so funny how many things I can be convinced to do. For fanfic.

I'm getting into drawing like I always wanted! For fanfic.

I'm reading poetry! For fanfic.

I'm writing lore chapters! For fanfic.

Nikki's laugh on Techno and Sneeg's joke is an entire mood.

belovedgamers

Niki: Soon I will be very powerful, and I will protect you.

Technoblade: From where?

Ranboo: Oh my goodness.

(Sneeg and Niki laugh)

Technoblade: As long as you are standing directly next to a body of water, you’ll be safe, Sneeg, don’t worry.

Sneeg: (cross talking) I will constantly... I will constantly border the coast, don’t worry.

Technoblade: Sneeg, you walked two blocks away from the water pool, come back! I can’t protect you over there!

Niki: Sneeg, wait, don’t walk away from me, Sneeg! (laughs)

(Laughter)

Sneeg: I’m just getting sugar cane. (as Niki) No, come back! It’s too far!

Niki: Techno... (indistinguishable)

Sneeg: It’s a longer coast, Niki! (as Niki) No!

Smajor: She’s gonna be... She’s gon-- (audio cuts off).

Sometimes the rats in my brain come together and start yelling “YEARNING” and in trying to appease them I ask “FOR WHAT” but they are too small so all they can say is “YEARNING” which is a very big word for such a tiny creature, even collectively
