While trying to find her way back, she was soon attacked by a hoard of crystal beasts that keeps coming her way! She got help from a passing swordswoman that turned out to be an established knight of the Dark Kingdom. Though she'd love to go home, she can't rest until the dangers lurking were no more, so she joins around Mikra to help get to the bottom of this.

But there isn't just one trouble in Mikra. Between an unresolved anger and two-faced spite, she finds that there are more to this than she could handle. Will she choose courage, stepping into a world she's never been into? Some questions are better left unanswered.

does anyone know where I can find good reference images of victorian-era wheelchairs? I want to draw the jovial contrarian but all the wheelchair art refs/tutorials I can find are for modern wheelchairs

[thedeafprophet]

okay so here's a few photo's i have on hand for ref

Here is an article on the history of the wheelchair, which has some info on the victorian era ones

Image from that one, circa late 1860s.

Another from the science museum, late victorian era:

This one in particular is noteworthy as : "unlike a typical bath chair, the wheels are fitted with an extra ring to allow the chair to be driven by the passenger. " so perhaps keep that in mind for drawing too

So i usually go off of the old picture + combine some facets of modern wheelchair for Fallen London, since i think The Neath could have some of it own technological advancments

Hope these are helpful!

Is it aromanticism or is it aromancy and the reason it's not called that is because they dont want us to find out that it's magic.

i actually dont care whether or not the characters in a story being non-human actually affects the plot in any meaningful way. stories with non-human characters are just dope and swag

[rslashrats]

“this story would be the exact same if the characters were human” yes but it would be less awesome

[save-the-villainous-cat]

Hello! I’m not sure if I asked this before but, may you write a snippet about a villainous and arrogant but charming prince flirting with a tough and diligent female assassin whom was hired to kill him?

“It’s good to see you again,” the prince said. With one look at her, all the memories came back. It had been a funny situation, actually. She’d saved him from another assassin, just so she could kill him with her own blade. Coincidentally, she’d been too injured to actually do it. In the end, he had nursed her back to health.

He had to admit, he loved her dedication.

“I’m not here to talk,” the assassin answered, her small knife pointing at his lung. “I’m here to finally kill you.”

“And yet, I am alive. You’re not the best at this job now, are you?” The assassin pressed the knife deeper into his gowns which made him groan in pain. His hand clutched around her wrist as he threw his head back and moaned. “Yeah, do it again, I like it like that.”

The assassin pulled back, completely shocked. Soon enough she found her composure though to reply.

“What the—” He simply grinned at her. It was cocky. Provocative. At this point, he knew he was toying with his own life. But it meant little to him anyways, so why not having fun for a bit?

“Oh, come on. Don’t tell me you get flustered by a few words.”

“I—” Her eyes went over his very exposed body — he was in his nightgown after all — as he noticed a slight blush creeping onto her face. It was adorable.

She’d always been the great assassin to him. Someone he was supposed to fear but the truth was, she wasn’t even much older than he was. They were still too young to be bothered with politics or assassinations. He wasn’t even twenty yet and people had tried to murder him a dozen times already. He was getting tired of it.

“Why are you dressed like that?” she asked. The prince didn’t know if it was his imagination but maybe her voice was close to trembling. He couldn’t deny that it was his desire to be loved by her.

She was strong and determined. She was independent and successful. He’d heard many stories about her proficiency. The prince on the other hand was lavish all day.

“I wanted to go to bed,” he said. “I didn’t expect any visitors today.”

Her knife wasn’t anywhere near his body anymore. Instead, she was more curious than bloodthirsty. Or at least, she acted like that.

“But where the hell are your guards? Where’s your protection? I could’ve killed you so easily.” He shrugged his shoulders, losing interest in the conversation slowly.

“I told them to go away.”

“Do you have a death wish or something?” she asked. No one had ever asked him how he was doing. Sure, his servants always tried to keep him alive when people tried to murder him. But that wasn’t because they cared. It was because they needed an heir.

The prince looked at his unfairly beautiful assassin. If this was his last night and if this was his last conversation, then why not? Why should he lie? The assassin was efficient. She was fast and clean. He’d die a good death.

“Last week, I got poisoned,” he confessed. “It was my first time and it hurt so much, it was so brutal that for the first time in all these years, I wanted to die. No one cared about me. They only wanted to keep their future king alive. Not the boy who likes poetry and animals.”

Staring at him, the assassin took a step back. She let him continue.

“I just decided not to care anymore, like everyone else. So, kill me, darling. I know you won’t let me suffer.”

She tilted her head, as if she was weighing her options.

“No.”

“No?” he asked.

“This is a kidnapping now.”

Oh.

Hello Writeblrs. Teach me the art of the wip ramble. I am not good at it. And I’d like to be.

Write the first thing that comes to mind no matter how incoherent it is

"Am I really lesser if I don't feel-"

If a love potion could change yourself, would you take it? Is love what you really want?

Happy late aromantic awarenwssk week! I bring you this comic with terribly rushed formatting.

This features my oc Mealea, who believed she can't be happy if she didn't find love. Combined with the fact that her mentor is the renowned mage of love, she feels like she'd be a disappointment to her.

[hollowtones]

basically, i think the general rule of thumb is: if someone REALLY wants the blood that’s inside of your body, and they’re like… a vampire, or a dracula, or some sort of mansquito, then that’s probably okay. a dracula and a mansquito are made for removing things like blood and swords from inside your body. that’s basically fine.

if something wants to get at your blood, and they’re, say, some kind of murdersaurus, or maybe a really big frog, that’s where the problems start to arise. a really frog is not made for removing blood, and your blood knows this, which is why it is so vehement about wanting to stay IN your body instead of coming out. 

unfortunately this will not deter a really big frog, because a really big frog is full of things like prizes, and value, and quite a lot of hatred, and it would REALLY rather like to replace any and all of those things with your blood, and basically by any means possible.

Tragic news like half the ways people talk about magic in fiction could irl be applied to maths

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

"magic is the threads that tie the world together, the unspoken web at the heart of the universe" that's mathematics babey!

[imissthembutitwasntadisaster]

You ever think about how when you gauge if it's safe to cross the road based off how fast and far away the cars are you're actually doing difficult calculus subconsciously? Almost like maths is something you have an inherent understanding of in many ways but in order to advance in it and truly understand it you have to learn it in an academic setting? Almost like many magic systems?
