The last thing I technically wrote was a very spoilery line for Stained Integrity, so I'm going to post the last line I wrote from another WIP (Minding Q's):
He was already done dealing with people for the night—and possibly the rest of the year.
...I'm realizing this is actually kind of funny when there's absolutely zero context.
I'm willing to bet that some of y'all have done this already but I'm gently tagging (with no pressure): @my-cursed-prince, @harleyacoincidence, @officialzombeefish, @holdmyteaplease, @leisoree, and anyone else that wants to join in!
I am still trying to learn the ins and outs of tag games so I'm sorry if I'm a little clumsy
Thank you for the tag (on this post), @card-queen! I love doing these so much hehehe
Using this incorrect quotes generator, I... generated some quotes. This time I decided to do it with the main five from Pentad of Un! (I did a bunch so I'll put most of them under the cut.)
Adif: "Problem, I can't tell if this food is over-sauced or undercooked."
Shayrow: "Solution, just put it back in the oven for another 10 minutes. There's at least a 50 percent chance that'll fix it, right?"
Kestek: "Result? Food has somehow become unpleasantly soggy and unpleasantly crunchy at the exact same time."
Luss: "No better time than this to pull out my favorite word! Slunchy!"
Jelro: "…Put it away."
Kestek: "Why aren't there friend pick up lines? Pick up lines to make friends like--"
Kestek, to Adif: "Hey, that's a cute outfit. You know where it would look better? On nobody else, because you're a beautiful individual."
Luss, to Shayrow: "Be my friend or I'll set your entire family on fire."
Jelro: "...There are two types of people."
Jelro: "Could you please go to the shop and get a carton of milk? If they have avocados, get six."
Luss: [coming back from the store with six cartons of milk] "They had avocados!"
Shayrow: "Why would anyone want to harm Luss?"
Kestek: "Maybe because they met him?"
Jelro, carrying a box: "What would you say if-- if I, hypothetically, came home with 7 kittens one day?"
Adif: "…"
Adif: "What’s in the box?"
Jelro: "What woul--"
Adif: "Jelro, what’s in the box?"
Jelro: "I think you know."
Kestek: "How would you like your pancakes?"
Jelro: "Plain."
Adif: "With sprinkles!"
Luss: "Chocolate chips."
Shayrow: "Potatoes."
[Jelro, Adif, and Luss look at Shayrow]
Shayrow: "What? They're good."
Kestek: "What is wrong with you?"
Shayrow: "Off the top of my head, I'd say low self-esteem, a lack of paternal affection, and a genetic predisposition for anxiety and depression."
Adif: "Do crabs think people walk sideways?"
Jelro: "…Adif, what the f--"
And this one as a bonus because it made me laugh way too hard:
Luss, to Shayrow: "Wow, left handed AND British? You really are an illusion."
These are always so fun haha
Anyways, gonna gently tag @k-v-briarwood, @athenswrites, @maskedemerald, @my-cursed-prince, @worldsfromhoney, and leave the tag open for anyone that would like to play!

Like 82957 short stories that I'm not going to list here because. there are literally so many of them.
Y'all. That's like 35 WIPs in my stupid WIP folder, not counting the individual stories within each series.
THERE'S NO WAY I FOLLOW KNOW MANY WRITEBLRS BUT I'M NOT ABOUT TO BACK DOWN FROM A CHALLENGE So I'm (gently) tagging: @my-cursed-prince, @athenswrites, @amaiguri, @k-v-briarwood, @the-grim-and-sanguine, @planets-and-prose, @owlsandwich, @card-queen, @zestymimblo, @lordcatwich, @wordswrittenbynight, @worldsfromhoney, @ahordeofwasps, @autumnalwalker, @nettleandthorne, @bassguitarinablackt-shirt, @gwenthekween, @harleyacoincidence, @dancinginsepia, @fire-but-ashes-too, @aziz-reads, @serendipminiewrites, @maskedemerald, @da-na-hae, and literally whoever else wants to do this because. Yeah. Open tag.
(I realize after typing all of that that the game is probably just supposed to refer to only one specific WIP but you know what. I already typed all of that so I'm just going to live with it. Have fun y'all.)
For this one, I was tagged by @tabswrites in this post! I had a lot of fun the last time I did this, so here we go again!
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!
Okay, for this one, I'm actually going to do some of Laurie's dialogue from Stained Integrity:
“Oh, hello. Come to join me in isolation?”
“Your nobility here sure are uppity. Don’t get me wrong—I’m flattered that the ladies here find me attractive, but they sure don’t mince words, do they?”
“Oooh, mysterious backstory? I’m listening.”
“Well, it’s certainly not only for the charm.”
“I don’t know what it is you’re trying to prove, but coming after me was really stupid. And, quite frankly, you coming along with me anywhere is a bad idea.”
“Because that’s the sort of comment that gets a man slapped back where I’m from!”
“I already told you—I don’t owe you my life story.”
“My dear, I am the drama.”
“You sure ask a lot of questions. Hasn’t anyone ever told you that curiosity killed the cat?”
“My dear, can we please not fight? The both of us are suffering enough as it is.”
“Ah—unfortunately, I believe you’ve dug deep enough into my life for one morning.”
“I’m flattered, darling, really—but I can’t be spilling all my secrets.”
“Look, I appreciate that you assume I have some twisted backstory—but it’s really none of your concern.”
“Some things are beyond helping, my dear.”
“...Would you prefer the abridged version?”
I'm going to gently tag @my-cursed-prince, @akiwitch, @serpentarii, @writingbyricochet, @betweenthetimeandsound, @wheres-all-the-tea-gone, and leaving the tag open for anyone that scrolled all the way down here!
Thank you @nettleandthorne for the tag (in this post)!
Rules: post the last sentence you wrote in your WIP and tag as many of your followers as there are words in the sentence.
...How do you guys keep catching me at my worst moments with these jfkakfjajjdja
We were halfway through dinner when Linden suddenly bolted down the stairs, sprinted into the kitchen, and snatched his keys from the wall hooks near the door to the garage—all while somehow managing to put on a coat, gloves, and a scarf.
That's 43 words. I think I'll get flagged for tagging that many people (do I even follow that many Writeblrs that do tag games??), but here goes nothing I guess:
Gently tagging @my-cursed-prince, @athenswrites, @maskedemerald, @card-queen, @zestymimblo, @k-v-briarwood, @the-grim-and-sanguine, @planets-and-prose, @aziz-reads, @space-writes, @da-na-hae, @harleyacoincidence, @owlsandwich, @junypr-camus, @ahordeofwasps, @serendipminiewrites, @autumnalwalker, @worldsfromhoney, @taveren-writing, @fire-but-ashes-too, @ainahwrites, @bassguitarinablackt-shirt, @lordcatwich, and literally anyone else because. That's so many names and I'm blanking on more so I'll just leave it open.
Here's a random out-of-context line from the new random WIP I've been messing around with, which is currently titled Feather Candles.
“Levine!” Phoenix snapped. “You can’t just go about snatching women from their rooms on whim with some magical spell!”
(You can see a doodle I did of some of these characters over on this post.)
Anyways, gonna gently tag @my-cursed-prince, @athenswrites, @lordcatwich, @planets-and-prose, @the-grim-and-sanguine, and anyone else that wants to play!
I was tagged by @aziz-reads in this post! I'm excited to try this one for the first time, so thanks for tagging me!
Rules: Share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture the character/personality/vibe of the OC. Bonus points for just using the dialogue without other details about the scene, but you're free to include those as well!
I think for this one, I'm going to share dialogue spoken by Sterling from Minding Q's, mostly because it's going to be really funny to me at least
(CW: strong language)
“I wasn’t sure if it was gonna be warm or cold today, since it’s s’posed to rain later or whatever, so I just went with layers like usual. I think I made a mistake wearing pants, though. Damn, it’s hot out here.”
“Don’t die in there!”
“Wow—okay, stalker.”
“Okay, I should actually start heading back so I don’t get struck by lightning. Uh, but thanks for talking!”
“You’re not my real mom!”
“I don’t have a Pilea yet, actually. But-- I mean, if you want, we could swap. Not the whole plant! Just, like, a cutting. Or a leaf. I’d give you a cutting from one of my plants that you like. Maybe not the albo, though. Just ’cuz-- Sorry, I just sell cuttings from him, so I dunno if I could give you one for free. I could if I didn’t have to pay rent—but unfortunately, capitalism exists! And I have to buy groceries. Whiiiiich I totally forgot to do yesterday. Fuck—why does adulting have to be so hard?”
“Can you just let me deal with the consequences of my actions in peace?”
“Wait—oh my god, you’re right. It’s already Wednesday today. Ugh! I hate Labor Day! Not having classes on Mondays always fucks me up. I mean-- Sorry, you don’t mind swearing, right?”
“What! That’s lame. Seriously, why does being an adult have to be so lame?”
“Oh, sweet! They have grilled cheese sandwiches! I fucking love grilled cheese.”
“Sure! My class gets done at... Hang on. I literally just checked this. It ends at... No, not that button. That’s also the wrong button. Can I just-- Can I-- Oh my god—can I please open the right tab? There we go. That should not have been that hard. Uh... Thursday... Thursday... Where the hell did it go? Wait, I’m stupid—it’s right there. Jeez. Okay, it ends at two fifteen.”
“Yeah, I definitely was not paying attention.”
“That’s another thing I don’t like! Fucking roller coasters!”
“Huh? Oh. Oh, wait. Shit! I forgot—I’m super angry at you and never want to speak to you ever again!”
“Yeah, that’s prob’ly a good idea. I’m not really in the mood to die today.”
Yes I put those entire paragraphs in there on purpose. It’s just who he is.
I'm going to gently tag @mary-is-writing, @veneritia, @maddstermind, @asablehart, @amaiguri, @macabremoons, and anyone else that managed to scroll all the way down here!
