🌟 New chapter is finally out!! Just in time for this NRFTI holiday, too! Happy Birthday to our very beloved Nyx, even though this chapter is not the most kind to you... 🤍
❣️ { Mitchell & Jaime ! )
Happy New Year everyone!! And a very happy NRFTI Holiday month, January is very important to us!! We are finally posting the official character designs!! Starting with these two, and going through the entire WarZone cast 🤍
Created by @sns-sims !
[ Mitchell Hayes // Jaime Aces ]
Mitchell stands at 6'0 tall, with midnight blue eyes and warm toned brown hair - Jaime stands at 5'7 with pale blue eyes and fluffy brown hair, of course he is missing his puppy ears sadly! His ears are folded down and resemble a baby german shepherd, his tail is quite small too!
We hope you guys love them and their features as much as we adore them!! We have so many more characters to post soon as well!
And obviously once again, iykyk - however these are our very beloved OCs 🤍
Commissions and donations are finally up and running!! 🩵
As I reach a more and more difficult living situation and it becomes harder and harder for me to comfortably exist as a disabled person in my environment, the more important things like this have become for me.
Therefore, I have opened up two types of art commissions on Ko-Fi !! With a slot limit of fifteen overall, as to not overwhelm me.
[ Link ]
For the sake of engagement, here are some of my most recent drawings.
Any bases used are created by the very lovely Mellon_Soup, who has indeed given permission for folks to use their bases in commissions. As I have severe arthritis, bases are a very important accommodation for me.
Reblogs and boosting this would be very much appreciated 🩵🩵
My friend is taking emergency c0ms to get funds for housing! Please read, share, and c0m her if you can!
Those interested can dm her on discord (@8_8it)
also taking direct donations on C ($vriskatism)
more info under the cut!
Reminder that our inbox is always open for discussions, questions, and anything at all. Since we are unable to properly write, I'd love to interact with people who might have thoughts, theories, or suggestions for the story or characters!
Update,
Our shared laptop has been broken for a while, which means we've had zero access to writing more for any projects we have. We're getting a new one asap, but obviously this means no further writing until we get that sorted out. This happened immediately after we finally posted WZ, and has been honestly devastating for our team as we wanted to stop having such long pauses between posts.
Our plans when we get a new laptop include,
Continuing WZ, obviously.
Fixing up the writing in UB, describing characters better and fleshing out the timeline more clearly.
Continuing work on project "B.B." and "A.A."
Long term plans,
Voice acted animation for WZ.
Posting updated/fixed NRFTI Sims.
Recruiting another person to the creation team, though we are unsure about this one - having more people behind the ideas seems fun.

No Rest For The Innocent, Book #3 ☆
☆ Cover Art by @m--rtyr
Colored Comas, Book #1
Upwards Bound, Book #2
WarZone, Book #3
The third book is finally ready to be posted, with multiple chapters up and ready to leave readers on one of our biggest cliffhanger endings ever..
Click the links above to read everything so far, yes including the rewritten version of Colored Comas!! Upwards Bound could probably use a refresh too, but we'll leave it be for now. Enjoy!!
Standing in a grass clearing, trees surrounding it in a circle shape, a stream of water splitting the area. The colors looked artificial, the grass crunched like plastic, the sun behaved as a decoration - the way it lit up the area only provided suspense, the light moved and dimmed seemingly for dramatic effect rather than being true sunlight.
Everything felt so real, it was hard to convince himself that it was a dream, tightness in his throat and a forming headache.
Lucid dreaming, he thought - repeating that in his head, over and over.
Rapid blinking, watching a long leathery looking tentacle slip out from its hiding in the trees.
Quickly, it was followed by several others, a blur of inky dark blues as it launched itself forward, out of the branches..
Silly poll time, since book #3 finally released!
where are you in your read?

12 Red Herrings to Keep Your Readers Distracted
I’ve seen mystery/thriller authors use the same handful of red herrings too many times to count. So here are some (hopefully not as common) red herrings for your writing.
1. The Unreliable Narrator's Bias
Your narrator can play favourites and scheme and twist the way your readers interpret the story. Use this to your advantage! A character portrayed as untrustworthy can really be someone innocent the narrator framed, vice versa.
2. The Loyal Traitor
A character with a history of betrayal or questionable loyalty is an obvious suspect. They did it once, they could do it again, right? Wrong! They’ve actually changed and the real traitor is someone you trusted.
3. The Conflicted Expert
An expert—like a detective, scientist, or historian—analyses a piece of evidence. They’re ultimately wrong, either due to bias, missing data, or pressure to provide quick answers.
4. The Overly Competent Ally
You know that one sidekick or ally who’s somehow always ahead of the curve? They’re just really knowledgeable, your characters know this, but it makes it hard to trust them. Perfection is suspicious! But in this case, they’re actually just perfect.
5. The Misleading Emotional Clue
Maybe one of your characters is seen crying, angry, or suspiciously happy after xyz event. Characters suspect them, but turns out they’re just having a personal issue. (People have lives outside of yours MC smh). Or it could be a cover-up.
6. A Misleading Alibi
At first this character’s alibi seems perfect but once the protag digs into it, it has a major hole/lie. Maybe they were in a different location or the person they claimed to be with was out of town.
7. The Odd Pattern
Have a seemingly significant pattern—symbols left at crime scenes, items stolen in a specific order, crimes on specific dates. Then make it deliberately planted to mislead.
8. The Misinterpreted Relationship
A character was secretly close to a victim/suspect, making them a suspect. Turns out they were hiding a completely unrelated secret; an affair, hidden family connection, etc.
9. A Forgotten Grudge
Create a grudge or past feud and use it to cast suspicion on an innocent character. Introducing an aspect of their past also helps flesh out their character and dynamics as a group + plant distrust.
10. The Faked Death
Luke Castellan, need I say more (I will)? A supposedly innocent character dies, but turns out they faked it and were never a victim in the first place. They just needed to be out of the picture.
11. The Mistaken Eavesdropper
A character overhears a threat, argument, etc. They suspect B based on this convo, but turns out they just came to a false conclusion. (Or did they?)
12. The Forgetful Alibi
Someone confesses to hearing/seeing a clue, but turns out they were mistaken. Maybe they thought they heard a certain ringtone, or saw xyz which C always wears, but their memory was faulty or influenced by stress.

10 Lethal Injuries to Add Pain to Your Writing
Prev: Non-Lethal Injury Ideas
Need some creative ways to give your characters a real fight for survival? Here are 10 ideas:
1. Punctured Artery
A puncture to major arteries like the femoral artery (thigh), the carotid artery (neck), or radial artery (arm) can cause rapid blood loss. It starts off with a sharp pain, weakness, lightheadedness and eventually can lead to hypovolemic shock. Requires urgent medical attention.
2. Punctured Eye Socket
A punctured eye socket will cause blood vessel damage leading to internal bleeding. I would use this for non-combat characters trying to get away. The eyes are an easy weak spot + you don’t need much strength to cause a critical injury/puncture. Also good for a protag's tragic backstory.
3. Torn Achilles Tendon
A torn Achilles tendon can result in severe bleeding if nearby arteries or veins are damaged. Your character will be forced to hobble away as pain causes their foot to swell and bruise. Plus, you can easily adjust the pain levels per your scene, from swift cuts to explosive jumps.
4. Neck Hyperextension (Hangman’s Fracture)
This injury will fracture the C2 vertebra and can lead to spinal cord damage, paralysis or sudden death. This isn’t a light injury your character can come back from, so I would suggest using it only when you’re aiming for death.
5. Pierced Lung
A punctured lung will lead to a pneumothorax where air escapes into the chest cavity, collapsing the lung. Characters with this injury may have difficulty breathing, chest pain, and a cough that produces frothy blood (all the dramatics you need).
6. Severe Concussion
A severe concussion will lead to confusion, vomiting, immobility and memory loss. More dangerously, brain swelling, internal bleeding and damaged brain tissue. Plus, it has a long recovery period.
7. Shattered Pelvis
If you need something severe that restricts mobility but also causes severe pain then this is perfect! Involves signs of shock, internal bleeding, numbness, swelling—really a lot of things. Can occur if OC falls from a high place, hit repeatedly, car accident, etc.
8. Internal Bleeding from Blunt Force Trauma
I like using this when you need something subtle since it doesn't show immediate symptoms. Over time, they will feel weak, cold, nauseous, and intense pain. Perfect if you want that 'everyone made it out then suddenly someone collapses' moment.
9. Intestinal Perforation
A sharp blow or penetrating wound can cause a tear in the intestines, leaking bacteria into the body cavity, then peritonitis. It can go from small stomach pain to near death pretty quickly. Without prompt medical care, sepsis can set in, causing organ failure and death.
10. Cut to the Jugular
If you need something more visibly dramatic then go with the classic cut to the jugular. A warm rush of blood will pour out, and blood would spurt with every heartbeat. Causes panic, choking, and internal bleeding too. All the blood and gore you need.
This is a quick, brief list of ideas to provide writers inspiration. Since it is a shorter blog, I have not covered the injuries in detail. Remember the worse the injury the more likely your character is to die (so be realistic folks). Happy writing! :)
