one of my favourite writing stylistic Things (tm): using a phrase as a sort of repetition, but slightly modifying it little by little as the story goes on and the events of the story progress

SANGUINE-ARENA; THE WRITEBLR INTRO

hello everyone! i finally decided to give a proper intro a whirl....

my name is theo; and i use he/she pronouns. i’m 25 years old. i love writing but i also play hockey and it’s kind of my life.

i’m based in the pacific time zone (PST).

i really enjoy creating characters and worldbuilding, as well as hearing about anyone else who does the same. always feel free to drop by my messages or my asks and ramble away!

i mostly write what could be considered sci-fi or futuristic, as most of my stories take place in a planet i created and set in the future. most of my stories take place around a group of hockey leagues i’ve created.

a few of my favourite tropes are fight scenes, character conflicts, characters in heavy emotional/physical distress, and personifying inanimate objects. if you ever need anything tagged, please feel free to DM me and let me know.

CURRENT WIPS:

these are all working titles and subject to change. last updated 12/26/25.

🩸 ⚔️ | “slaughter season” (action, thriller)

“Slaughter Season” focusses on the stories and lives of the players and teams in the Combat Sports Hockey League, also known as the CSHL. The league is one of two premier hockey leagues on the planet of Plutidyne, and is well known for their more violent approach to the game. The League is very hands off when it comes to calling penalties, breaking up fights, and providing supplementary discipline to its players. On top of this- the threat of the Team Improvement Lottery, an event occurring every five years and one that can make or break a team, looms overhead. Those who are entrusted with the duty of protecting the players seem to be failing them the most.

👤🏒 | “the commissioner” (suspense)

Being the Commissioner of the CSHL is hard work; the League hinges on every decision you make, you are never the hero in the eyes of the fans, and everyone seems to want a piece of you. The Commissioner is elusive in the public eye for a reason, and though their identity seems to be known, there are theories that the Commissioner the public knows is just a facade. A particularly controversial season for the CSHL sends people looking for answers on this leader who is seldom seen.

🌇🏟️ | “welcome to the show” (action, episodic)

A collection of one shots featuring various CSHL players’ first ever game in the League. These stories will document their experiences as they play in their first game, as they finally begin to realize what they’ve gotten themselves into and the grave mistake they’ve made signing on that dotted line.

🥅 💉  | “acidic” (drama, dark fiction, tragedy)

Zayne Topher is trying to become the next big thing in net for the Belneux Thunderbirds, and the PIHL as a whole. However, he must first fight his own demons and the endless roadblocks that the universe throws at him.

⛸️ 👊 | “five for fighting” (slice of life, dramedy)

An episodic peek into the daily lives of the staff who keep the Nightingale Ice Center up and running. Between the hockey players running the pro shop, the figure skaters who want nothing to do with them, and to the quiet loner who drives the Zamboni- the rink bonds all of them together whether for better or for worse and whether they like it or not.

Which format would you like to see Slaughter Season in?

Traditional (one cast of characters, one single story)

Episodic (multiple casts of characters, each "chapter" is a standalone story)

Volumes (multiple casts, each "volume" has multiple installments)

Voting ended onJan 28, 2023

Thinking of what sort of storytelling format I want to put Slaughter Season (focussed on "death league" / the CSHL ) in, I'm having some thoughts about it lately and want opinions.

I was originally going to do it as a more traditional narrative, like one continuous series focussing on just one cast of characters, but have had thoughts about doing more of an episodic or volume-based layout.

Episodic would be each chapter / installment has a different cast and is its own standalone story.

Volume based would be like Volume 1 would focus on one team and one cast of characters, and Volume 2 on a different team and cast of characters, etc. regardless of how many chapters it takes to tell it. All of these chapters would be part of the same narrative, but Volume 1 and Volume 2 wouldn't be connected to eachother.

my ocs on social media / the internet

i stole this post idea from @jezifster , thank you for letting me borrow it!

zayne; has an instagram he almost never posts on, and even then, when he posts, its only pictures from games / with his teammates with stupid captions. sometimes the team’s instagram page forces him to make appearances on there but he looks like he wants to die the whole time (to the point of it even being kind of a meme amongst their fans, probably). probably has a twitter thats not attached to his name where he doomscrolls and also vents 24/7

kendria; has an instagram shes pretty active on, posts on her story w her friends a lot. probably has pinterest where she has boards of all the pretty pictures she’s saved and also of dumb memes she’s found. i feel like she hoards pictures.

trevor; he doesnt know what social media is enough to really have it. he had twitter awhile ago but probably deleted it. there are likely dumb / mildly embarrassing tweets of his floating around but he doesnt acknowledge them. the team instagram probably forces him to make appearances too and he also looks like he wants to die the whole time (also a meme amongst their fans, but in a more “aw, hes so awkward, look at him” kind of way)

akuma; dude has a twitter where he shitposts, mostly. probably has snapchat where he does a lot of his shadier shit. dude 10000000% knows what tor is and probably uses it more than he would ever admit (also for shady shit). he doesn’t ever show his face or really even use his real name. he mostly lurks otherwise.

some bonus ones i thought of, not acidic related, because they came to me while i was writing the others:

timur; dude has twitter, instagram, snapchat, stuff like that, but he doesn’t really post on it unless he’s fucked up and everyone is always concerned about him by the end of it. probably deactivates and reactivates a lot.

keiko; if he actually had social media he would probably die. he’s doomscrolled about himself a few times after a bad game and he can’t help but do it sometimes, but he doesn’t actually have any accounts or have an actual social media presence.

viktor; he doesn’t really know what social media is. he would also probably die if he did

phaeton; hes probably my only oc that would concievably have tumblr. it is an edgy aesthetic one and has a lot to do with his obsession with fire. probably vents a lot and deletes it later. hes had a callout post made about him before. hes probably banned off of twitter for getting into too many fights and causing too many problems

[sanguine-arena]

well....i decided to make a zayne playlist

[sanguine-arena]

writing is such a scam. i make up all these people and worlds and stories, and then i get attached to them? and then i make up more things about all these people and words and stories? and for what reason? to hurt my own feelings?
