#LGBTQWriteAThon Out of context, I'm not sure this sounds foreboding but it's the closest vibe I have from the Hedley & Avis WIP.
Snippet from Hedley and Avis WIP. White text on black background reading "With a raise of his hand, Hedley cut off the worst case scenario and reiterated himself. If an army was to be raised, he'd still be back soon. There'd be no question of his loyalty." Scene break

Happy ##LGBTQWriteAThon 4! Snagging a synonym idea for 'ominous'
Cat’s apartment sat on the other side of town, near the Black Hole. She was quiet as Edie drove, watching the breaking waves of the ocean. Sheets of rain stretched toward the horizon, iron-gray clouds hanging ominously low. Waves crashed against the beach with particular ferocity, the breakers less a dreamy white than an icy violence of shattering spray.

#QueerPrompts Ive never figured out the logic of book banning, as there is an arbitrary sensibility to those that attempt it. But some of the things those folks might struggle with in my stories might be… Mystery: Sapphic longing, cuss words, anti-colonial and ACAB sentiments. 🧵 1/3

You can't help your eyes from skittering over to the map. Illuminated by the glow of your laptop screen, the red marks stand out ominously against the stark white paper. Cuts on an otherwise unmarred surface.

#LGBTQWriteAThon October 4 ***foreboding*** Apropos what my books might get banned for... here's Lake Ontario in all her (foreboding) glory. #queerwriters #writingcommunity #lgbtqwriters #WritingPrompts #Shaqueline #SapphicWriters #sapphicauthors
By the time it ended, she’d found a spot overlooking the lake and pulled over. For reasons she’d never quite understood, Lake Ontario had always brought her a sense of calm. Right now, she needed some of that serenity to plan their next steps.
      She put the car in park and waited.
      At first, neither of them spoke, both staring out at the foreboding lake. Jacqueline lost herself in its enormity, watching the dark grey waters stretch seemingly to the horizon.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober (I love this question) I define the purest bravery as doing the right thing even when others will judge you for it. But facing what you're afraid of to help others is also a very meaningful kind of bravery. Lawcket feels more with the second. Rider has a sense of - 1/3

Hi #LGBTQWriteAThon 4! I don’t have the word “foreboding” in my draft, but I have some instances of it! Here’s the first moment, Danny, one my narrators, notices something amiss. (He has no idea what he’s in for.)
In this passage from early in the draft of Reunion Tour, Danny, a bass player for hire, is auditioning to tour with a band he’s loved since he was a kid. Nicola, a former bandmate and romantic partner, has already been hired as the drummer. Sanders and Pearle are the rhythm guitarist and keyboard player; Scyther is the lead guitar player (and also? really kind of a jerk).
There were two tricks to “Seventh Step”: It had a weird tuning, and the guitar and keyboard parts didn’t rock. Sanders played choppy, open-string staccato furnace-blasts of sound, Scyther’s fingers crawled over the fretboard, every note out of tune in a way that was somehow perfect, and Pearle’s drone hung over it all like some funereal cloak.
Nicola and I had to fit a groove to it. I tried to bring just a touch of caveman swagger. She went wild on the floor tom. It felt so fucking good to play with her again, if only for a tour, or even just these two songs.
After the first pass through the chorus part, Scyther looped the verse part with a digital delay,  then took off on a wild, swirling solo. And then things got weird.
The lights didn’t flicker or dim as Scyther soloed, but the room felt less bright. The air  seemed to thicken. There were flickers of motion high in my peripheral vision, like a phalanx of swallows was swooping around the room. When I turned to look, they receded. 
Scyther’s lips were pulled back in a sort of manic grin. Nicola grabbed a pair of mallets and abandoned the cymbals and snare for a loping beat defined only by the kick, the floor, and the larger of her rack toms. I let the bone-rattling low C-sharp ring out through entire measures, making more space for Scyther’s spider skitter tones.
It was no-shit eerie, and it was a relief when Scyther stomped on his delay to cut it off, and we all careened together out of the solo break and into the song’s coda.
The hazy sensation was dispelled immediately, and the flutters at the edge of my vision lifted.

#fantasyindiesspooktober Day 4 Bravery Dani has had to be brave for a long time after the loss of her parents and her youngest sister getting sick. And even before that with vampires and werewolves taking control of the world. She would define bravery as doing what was needed in the face of fear.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober Day 4: Notions of bravery differ from person to person. I can’t pinpoint what bravery is except that some altruism is involved. Elysia doesn’t accept that she’s brave, but she is very willing to do the difficult thing, and some altruism is involved…

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober 5: What would my MC wear to a Halloween party? The Triempery has a version of Halloween, Second Day, and Dorilian's sole appearance at that event was as a Sorcerer, in SORDANEON. Endelarin later does fine rendition of one in SECOND STONE. Tiflan is a bard. #WritingCommunity
Left side of image is a meme of a month's worth of daily writing prompts for authors of fantasy fiction. Meme is orange and has a background of two cute ghosts.

Right side of image is a text excerpt from SORDANEON, first book of the Triempery Revelations series by L.L. Stephens. Excerpt is of main character Dorilian wearing a costume for his City's Second Day festivities.

       Dorilian had changed his garments and stood before them wearing a close-fitting body suit of emerald cloth, upon which bold designs had been embroidered with gold thread and tinsel. Panels of felt encrusted with gems in intricate patterns formed a loincloth of sorts about his hips, and covered his shoulders and chest like armor. Boots of gilded leather encased his feet, hugging his legs with painted flames to midthigh. A cloak of silken ribbons hung from his broad shoulders, and he held under his arm a headpiece with curving, gilded horns and glaring, bejeweled eyes. 
       “The Sorcerer.” Marc Frederick identified the deity whose guise the young man had assumed. Even saying it gave the words a sinister edge.
