hi friends! this intro is partially because there's a lot of new people around and partially because I wanted to refresh a little bit.
so who am I?
call me splash or ink or some other nickname!
unfortunately, unequivocally both a writer and a gamer
and therefore I run my gaming blog (@splashink-games), where I post reviews, devlogs, and (sometimes) reblog other works
sometimes I'll reblog something from there by accident (or on purpose)
you'll also find me reblogging art or memes here.
I write basically just fantasy, but want to try my hand at sci-fi
tag/ask game/DM friendly! talk to me about stuff!
I'm actually very bad at reading things without a dedicated time to do so, so if I reblog your work with tags like "cool stuff" or something real short or general, I do actually really really love your work
meet my wips below the cut!
Shining Shadows. (title's a work in progress)
His target was only ever the Hero of Cyreth. The others didn’t matter. And what happened after didn’t matter either.
newest wip. intro coming soon-ish (whenever I get to it)
Progress: first draft
uhhhh. revenge gone wrong. revenge also gone right?
Memories with the Witch.
"Family... I'm not sure. I know I have one, but it's fuzzy. I don't know if they're even still alive."
you can find the intro here!
Progress: who knows really
(it's actually 46 chapters in progress, 18 to edit, 5 to check, 1 otherwise ready to post but I don't)
originally planned as a non-linear weekly webnovel, it's the most disorganized little thing I've got
if you like D&D, this wip is based on it!
Lyzandir regains his memories with Eryn, then found family vibes.
first-person narration along with diary/journal entries
two POV main characters across generations
Demons in the Den.
Demons have always run amok. For as long as I can remember and even before then.
the OG, my first wip I posted here.
Progress: second draft of book one, first draft of book two
supposed to be a trilogy but I was bad at planning
so what if the two leads liked each other but one's a demon and triggers bad memories?
and then they're dragged into a continental crisis?
I nodded, and he shapeshifted into a white stag. Before he could turn around, I grabbed him by one of his antlers to place a kiss on his head. With my forehead pressed against his, I told him, “Be careful, My Heart.” He lingered just a moment longer before following the wolf’s noses. They jumped into the sky like a pebble skipping over water. I watched after them until they’d left the world’s atmosphere for the darkness of space.
No pressure tags for @splashinkling @emabatis @davycoquette aaand just anyone has a kiss to share<3
It's important, especially for beginner writers, but to remind those who have been writing long term as well, that your writing, your stories, your characters and plots, they cannot be all encompassing, they simply cannot address every issue we individually and collectively face in the world today. They cannot completely and flawlessly represent every single person's lived experience in absolute depth and nuance, and that's normal, that's okay! What's important is for you to lean into the story you want to tell and the experiences and passions (themes, opinions, hobbies even) you want to share and explore, and make every effort to tell those things to the best of your ability — and tell a bloody good tale while you're at it 💕
animators fuck me up. if you asked me to draw something it would take every ounce of my life to complete this task. if you then asked me to draw it again a little to the left I would die
[IMAGE ID: It is a scene from Captain Marvel 2019. In the first panel, Att-Lass says: you never write. In the second panel, Korath responds: I write on the inside. /END ID]

If you're in the community please do me a favor and reblog or send this to your moots. I genuinely do really want to be tagged and find some really awesome artists/writers
Silver: High in the night, the moon shone with a silver glow.
Broken: Scattered here and there were the broken off tips of arrows as well as several fire-hardened spears.
Relate: He [Fen] could relate to what Gale had told the group. Knowing that you are a stranger, and having that feeling of not belonging.
Tender: Fen didn’t wait before he hugged her [Playa]. It went on for a while. Fen didn’t mean to, but this was something he hadn’t felt in years. The last time he had such a tender embrace was when his mother was still alive.

“Tree!” Lykos shouted over the wind as he pointed at something blocking the path ahead of them. The smile on his face was brilliant as he said, “I’m going to jump over it!”
Cutie slowed her pace when she noticed the obstacle.
Lykos spurred his horse. When they reached the fallen tree, his horse lifted off the ground, and they were soaring through the air. Just for a few seconds before they landed again. But they truly had been flying.
