#WIPSnips - Gods Play House Saw this prompt and immediately thought "Oh boy, which instance of 'nation' do I get to use for a story that takes place 'in Magi Nation?'" despite knowing the clear answer.

“I don’t think you should worry too much about that.”

“Why not?” Seemore asks.

“Because none of this is real,” Lyric says, shutting his eyes. “I mean, it’s real to us, so don’t get freaked out, but this is just a Story, and we’re Gods. We’ll fix it, it’ll just take time, but time can’t stop us…”

“Muse,” Seemore says. “We live in Magi Nation. Of course none of this is real. It’s not a secret.”

Lyric opens an eye. “…What?”

“Yeah, no,” Seemore says, shutting his own eyes to lean against the wall like Lyric is doing. “We’re in the land of make-believe. Imagination, in Magi Nation… Everyone I know in Wimdy knows that. But we’re just trying to live our lives anyway. My life is real to me, and the impacts I make are real to the people I help.” He opens an eye to look at Lyric from the side while the other two stay closed. “Wait, is that something they only teach out in Wimdy? Do other high schools not have freshman philosophy and that course on the inherent non-existence of the world and the value of kindness despite it?”

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House Been a while since I posted one of these, but here we have more Seemore and his first dive into the Uncanon Valley

Seemore looks down into the darkness. Even with the pitch black, he can see flashes of blue, just like the Mortals who rarely get to peer into the Valley say. The cause of the rumor of some monster living in the Pits that sends up the Bad Ideas that rarely escape the Valley…

But the blue is just Metta’s familiar glow… And the Ideas feel familiar too… In a way he isn’t sure how to describe…

He jumps, holding onto his hat with invisible hands. He tumbles down faster than the elevator and loses sight of it as the light of the Haven is swallowed up by the darkness of the Valley. And yet, as he sinks into the inky well of Ideas, it feels comforting. Not unlike sinking into a comfortable armchair with a fresh cup of coffee and a new detective novel to read…

As he lands, safely and on his feet and with his hat still on his head, he stands and looks around in all directions at once at the Ideas staring back at him…

“You fucken want something or…?” he asks the empty void. The Eye-deas avert their gaze. Seemore tilts his head up, eying something of his own, something he hadn’t previously been able to see… “Oh, is that what it looks like when you’re writing the World?”

The Narrative sits flummoxed, mere paces away, that the Detective could so readily read the Story. The Story, in turn, turns to light the path for Seemore, with the visage of their dozens of glowing blue screens.

“Impressive dive there, Seemore,” Metta greets. Seemore stares at the screens, at the writing, at the Ideas, and shrugs before following the screens to where Metta’s main face and body are waiting with Inkwell barely visible beside him. “Not surprised both you and POV are willing to dive in…”

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House The Gods love to play with time travel, but Seemore's first experience with it is less typical than he would expect.

“Nim, I have no idea what is happening.”

“You’re fine.” Professor Nim looks at the pocket watch again. “You’re reset for this story. After all, it’s the beginning of a new one. Why wouldn’t we start you at full health?”

“You started me in media res,” Seemore reminds. He looks out the window. “In the middle of a train ride… I’m not starting at full capacity.”

“No, I suppose not.” Professor Nim hums. “Well, that won’t be a problem—”

“Why aren’t story and narrative capitalized?” Seemore asks.

“Ah-ah!” Professor Nim reaches over and holds a finger over his lips. “That’s one of the rules. No Meta-chanics. We’re playing around Mortals who don’t know these elements…” He motions at the pocket watch. “Because the gods behind them aren’t gods yet.”

Seemore frowns. “You’re not going to question that I could see that dialogue?”

Professor Nim shakes his head. “No. You’re a bit like me. I borrow from Metta, and you? You can tap into Inkwell in ways none of us expected.” He laughs. “Honestly, I had my money on that Lyric taking up that mantle. But, no, I think he loves them best from the outside rather than inside their heads.”

Seemore hums. “You say that, but I don’t think I’m supposed to see the spelling on someone’s voice when I’m not in the Valley…”

“Oh, one mystery at a time! I’m sure whatever is happening you’ve been pulled from, you’ll solve it…”

Gods Play House Every good story needs conflict. For Metta, the Story, that conflict is Extra Extra, the ex-God of Truth and Journalism, who actions led to Metta's "death" when he was meant to ascend. Extra Extra concept art by @pythonmelon.bsky.social #Bluepit #📖 #A #SP #F #W #LGBT #TR

Concept art of Extra Extra by Pythonmelon. A silhouette of a man made out of old newspapers covered in splotches of ink stains. The man towers over a shorter man in a hat and coat. The background is dark and fades into dark red to emulate foreboding.

A series of screens in blue connected by cables. The screens all depict various things including hands, a sheep, faces, a heart, more cables, and the letters spelling out "Metta". The face and heart screens in the middle have the note that reads "These two are the 'main' screens'. Others are extra" Additional notes read "extra screens can display whatever" and "They all sort of fade into the dark."

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House Technically not a lie if Mr. Moore met the human form of Extra Extra 60 years later before going back in time to meet the God of Truth and Journalism before he was ousted.

The god before him is almost a paper doll of a man. An illustration in black and white like a political cartoon, but drawn directly on faded newspaper, the words ever changing too fast to read. He looks down at him, smiling, cordial, and happy to lean in to offer a hand or ear to any guest who wanders in.

Mr. Moore, however, isn’t sure where he is or when he got here. He takes off his hat and rubs his temples, mumbling “What a fucken Nightmare” as he tries to remember where he is.

“…Are you alright?” Extra Extra asks, genuine concern on his voice. “Have we met before…?”

Mr. Moore puts his hat back on. “Eh… You’re the God, Extra Extra, right? No, I never met you.”

Extra Extra bristles. He frowns, leaning closer, looking up and down Mr. Moore. “…Well, I have to assume that’s the truth,” he says, though he seems to catch something about the statement is only technically true. “Considering no one is capable of lying in my presence… Being the God of Truth comes with that perk…”

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House Celebration in place of festival. Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈

After that, however… Lyric Muse pitches the Rebellion first to the rest of the community. The inspiration it gives spreads like wildfire. The Rebellion, or the Celebration to those not in the know.

A dedication to those who came before them who could not admit their so-called “immorality”. The anniversary of Verity Productions, with impromptu recreations of moments from the films, where secret lovers are openly cast as the romantic leads. Where closeted trans folk are allowed to play as roles most befitting their gender. Where people of any gender and so madly in love make-out with each other in public under the guise of performance art and everyone just looks the other way.

It’s just one day of Celebration, of dancing together and wearing what they want regardless of their sex and not having to be afraid because it’s just art, and there is nothing immoral about art.

Just one day of Rebellion, because they are just people, and there shouldn’t be anything wrong with just living as yourself.

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House Trying to find the physical form of the god who is the literal Story all of you exist in when that god is typical metaphysical is difficult for everyone.

“You get used to it,” Improv says.

“No, no, I don’t think I can,” Metta winces. “Owwww, my chest— Someone get me Occam’s razor, I need to cut myself out of this scene—”

“We’ll be quick,” Seemore says. “We need to know where to find you and that Idea.”

“Don’t know,” Metta says, wincing still. “Factory, abandoned, still has its machines… Ow, my head— Headlines.” He smiles, looking dreamy as his voice starts to seem far more airy than it should. “Have you ever seen how a newspaper gets printed? The machines for it were so fun to watch… All that paper and ink smell— The gears turning were always so attractive— I’m glad I got to work with Page, but sometimes I miss feeling welcome in— Ow, ow, sorry, where was I?”

Improv frowns. “…You tell us. Where are you?”

“Oh, uh,” Metta hesitates. “I’m everywhere. I’m the Story.”

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House The God of Truth has a nasty habit of writing out facts he doesn't want to face. Mr. Moore (aka Seemore), the God of Mysteries inversely can spot what's gone missing.

“Huh,” Mr. Moore rubs his head. “The God of Truth is afraid to face facts…? Is that why I keep… Uh…” He shrinks when the other two turn to look at him with terrified expressions. “Wh-What…?”

“Why you keep what?” Improv asks.

“Seeing and hearing things that are supposed to happen just… not…? Happen…?” Mr. Moore scoots away. “Is— Uh— Is that not normal…? I thought half of you Gods changed things all the time.”

“Not on a micro-level unless it’s inconsequential,” Improv says. “And not with consulting the others unless it’s so obvious something needs to change! What have you been seeing?”

“I can’t answer that!” Mr. Moore shakes his head. “No, no, that one?” He motions at Page. “It’ll… change his timeline if I just put it back into the world like that. Or worse…”

Page taps his foot faster, nearly growling in aggravation. “It’d summon the attention of the one who struck the line from the narrative.”

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House So many options with Seemore, but the first time he started calling himself the Unknown is my personal favorite.

“Wait,” Clyde calls after him. “How are you not the God of Fear?”

Seemore stops again. “…Are you afraid of me?”

“Yes,” Clyde hisses. “Vehemently. You’ve been in my nightmares for decades.”

Seemore smiles and turns around. He tips his hat. “God of Mysteries, at your service. Tell me, Clyde. What’s more frightening than the fear of the Unknown?” He waves and heads for the door. “Now, I gotta get going. I have a train to Tinderton to catch.”

“Wait!” Clyde calls again, but this time Seemore doesn’t let him stop him.

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House The God of Mysteries stepped into the mind of the God of Writing to help deal with a Nightmare, but it turns out being able to see the narration that guy lives in is a nightmsre itself

Seemore scowls, or so they both get the impression of him between his lack of mouth and both of them able to see the Narrative in the moment, but even that mere action causes their newest God to recoil. “Ugh—” he interjects to stop the Narrative. “Stop that! That’s the worst of it, actually. How do you live with everything you’re doing being announced in your head?”

“I’m the one writing it,” Inkwell reminds. “And I have tenure.”

“Tenor?” Seemore asks. “I thought you were more of an Alto.”

“…Forget the Nightmare, I’ll kill you myself.”

Seemore looks down at him. “Really? I thought it was clever. It was one of your own jokes. You really did write some great stuff back when, Verity.”

#WIPSnips - Demon Hearts John can put up with dying and being revived with a demon heart transplant but he draws the line at -checks notes- being adopted

“…Fair enough,” Felix says, though he does not sound quite like he understands. “But, naturally, whichever name is your true name, you must keep to yourself. Damocles is just the sword above you as a reminder to keep your name private. You are human enough that any demon can control you the moment they have your true name.” Felix narrows his eyes. “Do not cause me to need to use your name against you, my child.”

The title feels painful. John fights back the urge to recoil from this literal demon he met only yesterday, who killed him yesterday, and who already wants to consider him his child. The familiarity is sickening when he moved here to escape his family temporarily to start with.

It might not be temporary at this rate, and John wonders if he should have taken Simon’s advice to heart like this… It’s not even his heart anymore.

Well. He left one family behind on short notice. He can figure out how to do it again.

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House "Pick your poison" for a choice of caffeine. Coffee or tea. Doesn't hurt to specify to hold the actual poison.

She shakes his hand, gripping tight as if trying to assert her dominance. “Mr. Moore. You may call me Miss Starling. Since you already know my name… Page— Mr. Verity is busy, as you saw. But I suppose you’re here to speak with him. Would you like to come in for tea or coffee…?”

“Coffee would be nice,” Mr. Moore says. “Hold the arsenic.”

She laughs. “Come now! Would you prefer cyanide?”

“Not if you’re drinking out of those same cups later,” he says, following her in. “You got to throw them out with the body. Honestly, do you even know how to hide one?”

“You cannot be one of Extra Extra’s,” she laughs. “None of his boys are this funny.”

She turns to face him. “Please, answer my question. What are you here for?”

Mr. Moore sits straighter. “I wanted to ask one thing.”

She grimaces. “Yes, Mr. Moore…?”

“Does Mr. Verity know his first trilogy is ASS?”

She stares at him. They both hear someone running from down the hall. The door slams open, and Mr. Page Oswald Verity himself stands in the doorway fuming.

“Excuse me?!” he demands. “My first trilogy, while not exemplary of my writing skills, is far from—”

Eve bursts out laughing. “Oh, good, someone noticed!”

Page sputters, looking so betrayed. “What…?! You think so too?”

Mr. Moore smirks and turns back to look at Page. “You titled them Allusion, Sincerity, and Synchronization. That spells ASS.”

Page stands, mouth agape, while Eve supports herself on the counter to keep from collapsing as she laughs harder.

“You knew!” Page says, pointing at Eve. “You knew the entire time and you let me do that?!”

#WIPSnips - Demon Hearts Went with Choose instead of Chosen, but Chose is also in this scene about making choices so it works out! You can always trust a demon to give you a semi-coerced heart transplant, right?

Joan looks up at Felix. “I’m tired of other people deciding what I get to do. Does it count if it’s just the illusion of free will?”

Felix sighs. “Child, would you rather have the illusion of free will that you chose to stay on this side like Lovell forced upon you…? You’re not meant for this world. Your tenacity, your cunning, your Hunter blood… It’s wasted here. It’s wasted as something human.” He sets a hand on the box again. “I can give you more to live for. You can have your Hunter blood… but the heart of a demon.”

For all the hesitation, all the complaints about being unable to choose, Joan would be a liar not to admit her mind was made up frame one. Whatever deal she would make with this demon to get back to the other side, to get back at Lovell, to fully leave the life she had in the suburbs, she was going to say yes and she knows it, just as Felix seems to know.

Maybe it’s the adrenaline of getting something she wanted, maybe it’s the flattery poisoning more logical thinking, maybe it’s the knowledge that she couldn’t say no anyway…

But that doesn’t matter. Her “yes” is sincere, as is Felix’s fond smile when he tells her to sit still and try not to scream too loud.

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House Inkwell is the God of Writing. I think he likes it quite a bit

“You’re a musician,” Inkwell says. “And a muse. If you want them to listen…? Make them. Inspire them. But most importantly…? Invoke my name. Put the fear of the Haven in them. You will know what to say.”

“Will it work?” Lyric asks.

“Do you want the reassuring answer, or the answer only I could give…?”

Lyric hums. “Let’s do both. Why not both?”

Inkwell chuckles. “The reassuring answer is, you won’t know unless you try…” He grins again, eyes wild this time. “The answer only I could give is: It will work if I write it so. I am the Storyteller, and the Story of this world needs a protagonist willing to change society!” His face returns back to its more cutesy look, but Inkwell still looks up at Lyric in fond sadness. “Give us a world Zans could have lived in. Where he wouldn’t have had to hide.”

Lyric tears up again. “You’ve got my word, Inky. One big Riot, to change things in Magi Nation.”

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House Or in this case, Gods play gay chicken(?)

His human form, slumped over Police Chief Cheery’s desk, groans as the only indication that his Mortal visage isn’t dead. “Don’t get me wrong,” he says. “I like getting to be a God, of all things, but I don’t know if I’m cut out for it.”

“They’re all too silly for you?” Cheery asks with an amused cadence. “What happened to all your jokes? You’re the guy who threatened to leave eggs on my grave if I died.”

Seemore glares up at him. “You’re not the one caught playing straight man to Improv’s gay chicken.”

“I don’t think it’s chicken,” Cheery deadpans.

“Yeah, yeah, they have the hots for me or whatever.” Seemore sits up straight and sighs. “Can’t say I’m not into it, but… I dunno, it feels… weird to me. I like it down here. Where everything feels grounded. Where I actually feel like I’m making a difference. Dammit, Cheery, I want to help people. Y2K is around the corner, and there’s still a lot to do around here. I can’t be the only god willing to do the fucken legwork, can I?”

#WIPSnips - Gods Play House In which Seemore, now aware there is a Narrative around him, immediately breaks the rule about messing with the Meta

The laughter fades into a sigh. Seemore slumps his shoulders. “Alright, what do I go by?”

“I’m Professor Nim,” he introduces again. “And you, my forgetful companion, are Mr. Morris Seeger.”

“No,” Seemore says. “Wrong.”

“Wrong?” Professor Nim scoffs. “How is that wrong?”

“I’m Mr. Sean Moore,” Seemore says. “S-E-A-N, and yes I am pronouncing it that way.”

Professor Nim slaps at him. “That joke only works in text! Stop that!”

“I’ll follow the rules once you tell me game on,” Mr. Moore snickers. “Until then, deal with it.”

Professor Nim rolls his eyes. “You, my dangerous little friend, ought to be more willing to practice the rules you’re given.”

“I’m a bit of a rule breaker,” Mr. Moore answers. “A detective. I like to find new solutions. You know that.”

I wanted to share a photo of the clown I keep on my desk but then decided he deserved better

A photo of a metal clown figure from the torso up with paint scraped off its face. The photo is edited to have a heart half tones from the top down behind the clown. The clown itself is tinted pink. Three text boxes with neon text on black partially obscure the bottom of the face and the torso.

The first text box, in blue, reads "LEAD, my beloved"

The second, in green, reads "The CLOWN" and has a human skull also in black and green after the word "Clown"

The third, in orange, has two lines reading "Pb" and "82"

in the bottom right corner is the artist's tagline and the date/time the photo was taken reading "invest in the prism" and "April 20, 2026 4:28 PM"

#WIPSnips - More from Gods Play House! In which a god in disguise encounters one form of his aspect: mechanics

The machines here were left to rust, but they’re gorgeous… Conveyor belts and metal gutwork exposed through open maintenance doors. He eyes the mechanisms wishing to be a voyeur to a time when they were functional and watch the gears turn and create something from whatever tiny parts once circulated here…

Paper spools, the smell of ink… The heat of machinery and the joy of folding the day’s headlines to pass along to the newsboys to deliver… He never regretted quitting, but he misses how attractive it was to watch the printers work—

Adam shakes his head, blinking away the memory. He feels faint. He needs to get back through one of the God doors—

I find a lot of enjoyment in taking a silly idea and treating it seriously. The Kingdom Hearts method of writing tone - where you can have silly cartoons mixed in with your edgy anime boys and it still gut punches you with emotion if done right. i.e. get a writer who can do both:

Mercutio: The Grand Cosmic Clown
SFX: Poof

Mercutio: Mercutio - At your service.

Alexander: Hey, Merc. News on Clown Club?

Mercutio: Last minute change of venues, my dear Alexander.

Mercutio: Our usual clubhouse had an incident at the Fire Jugglers meeting.
Alexander: Again? Where are we meeting now?

Mercutio: Civic Center.
Alexander: Across town?
Mercutio: Yes.

#WIPSnips today is from a silly side project I work on when I'm bored. Reverie of the Bell! A story of a trans man, Rev, who wakes up as the main character of a story he absolutely HATES and never read because his friends insisted he'd like it only because the main character has his dead name.

Mortis flutters. "You don't have time to speculate, Rev! I entertained this flight of fancy long enough, but don't forget that you and your friends are trapped by a demon possessing some obsessive worshiper of Animus! Just do what feels right, you foolish boy!"

"What?! Don't blame this on me!" I drop Mortis and let him flutter beside me. "What feels right is to stay in one place and ramble about how I think you and Animus are super attractive but it sucks that your brother is evil and trying to kill me but also do you think he'd be okay if I still call him my Motley Prince?"

"You're still thinking about that?!" Mortis pecks at my head. I yelp and swipe at him. "Stop thinking with your dick and start thinking with your HEART!"

I grab him and squeeze him gently like a plush toy. "What good would that do?! I've been in this world for TWO DAYS. I just met you TODAY. The only thing I cared about in this story before waking up here was the Motley Prince because I don't know anyone here. What do I have in my Heart that isn't just you gods forcing out of me?"

Mortis breaks free and I stumble back as he reappears in effigy form and grabs my by the hands. "You have been awake for two days, but some form of you have been here all of your life, my pet. Do you not recall a single love you've had in this world? Nothing you can pull from your own heart?"

My stomach aches. A single love in a world I never learned to enjoy...? My heart feels as empty as my stomach. Why couldn't I get to eat my own lunch?

"Delectable Sight!" I call out.

#WIPSnips for Gods Play House. Naturally, as one of the two Gods of Writing in Magi Nation, Inkwell would have the word "chapter" in so much of his own Narration that it was a matter of what scene to choose

Some writers delete their work and any evidence it was ever there. But, in their mortal years, Zans Xerif and Page Oswald Verity made a pact, one that they both still respect as Gods.

Never throw away their work. Simply file it away, in case they can repurpose it or find inspiration from it later… Inkwell’s hesitant hand shakes as he grasps the handle of the drawer. He turns away, grimacing in fear, as he pulls it open, fearful of what monsters this Pandora’s Box may let loose…

Instead, one file hits him in the face. A previous version of the chapter he now occupies. He closes the drawer and sits to read what was so bad that someone had to throw it away, be it himself on another timeline or Metta advocating for the Story that they are.

He glances up at the extant chapter’s name. Edits Needed. Compared to the original chapter name…

Envy.

Still proud of Rabbit Hole, a free story/game I made with Twine. I tried replaying it myself without remembering how to find the route to the End and it took over an hour but I felt so excited when I finally found the right path. allislaughter.itch.io/rabbit-hole

Rabbit Hole

A non-linear, poetic story exploration of depression, nostalgia, and the ways people know, hurt, and help each other.

I prepped options for a previous WIPsnips that I ended up too busy to post but here they are because I still enjoy them. I wasn't able to pick between them day of, haha Both from Demons Hearts, both featuring the same three characters

“Then abandon them. Pack your things, and we will pick you up tonight.”

It’s a plan, even if it’s not an ideal one. John concedes to take a bite of his pancakes as dry and plain as they were presented to him as rebellion against good taste. He locks eyes with Turlough who waits for approval, and John provides a wordless thumbs up while choking down another piece of dry sponge.

“Sweetie,” Turlough says. “Do you want syrup?”

John clears his throat. “No. I’m committed now.”

Felix snorts. “Well, you have the stubbornness of a demon already. However, you are allowed to indulge like one as well…” He holds out a bottle of the fanciest maple syrup John has ever seen.

John stares at the bottle, considering the decadence of sugar and flavor. He stabs his pancakes and tears off another tasteless bite. Felix counters the move by setting the bottle on the table and sliding it closer to John, testing him, daring him to ignore it. John holds true and shoves more of the disgusting pillow stuffing into his mouth.

Felix sighs. “I am a metal demon and the last of my kind. But I was also the first, I was always the strongest, and I have always been king, even before I was the only one left. That is, until you, though you are only partially a metal demon, from that heart in you and the blood it provides…”

“Wait, you changed my blood too?” Joan asks. “Is— Is that normal for open heart surgery?”

“Again,” Turlough says. “My textbooks are on the human side. We are not having a medical lesson or discussing how easily Felix could have botched that surgery—”

“One of us had to do it,” Felix retorts. “It’s not my fault the one who has experience with medical practices refused to.”

“I’m not a surgeon,” Turlough counters. “And I didn’t stay in medical school. I’m not here to make a living doing medical malpractice, I’m here to look beautiful and be intelligent enough to get what I want.”

“I want to do that,” Joan says before she can stop herself. She pouts and turns away when Turlough smirks at her. “W-Well, can you blame me? I’m pretty and witty and want my way…”

Did I ever show off Juniper Rose? Juni is the set animal OC I made inspired by @pythonmelon.bsky.social's Beth. I imagine her being a secret agent/adventurer like a James Bond or an Indiana Jones, except much sillier and also she talks about it in a way that makes Beth think she's also just a gamer.

You start bothering Improv for quick solutions over reasonable ones, you get the load bearing coconut instead
