#AntagonistApril All my antagonists are relatable enough that you can understand why they do what they do. They are given chances, but while some can come back from the evil they commit, others go too far. #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Booksky #Writesky

The main Big Bads in my series are the leaders of the two groups fighting. Both have armies of powerful magic wielders, and both will destroy anyone standing in the way as they try to get at one another. #AntagonistApril #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #Writesky #Booksky

The Dream Eater, a spirit whose magic feeds off of nightmares, is the first clear antagonist, trapping the townspeople to devour their fears and rage. #AntagonistApril #WritingCommunity #Writesky #WritingPrompts #Booksky

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue is about to go on an angry rant, as Green raises his tail to halt him.
Blue: And don't get me started on-
Green: Wait! Before you start...

Blue frowns at Green as Green looks at him calmly.
Green: Do you want solutions, or do you just want to complain?
Blue: Can I just complain?

Blue looks surprised as Green looks over his shoulder.
Green: Sure, but let me make myself some popcorn first.

As Green leaves, Blue looks stunned towards the direction that he left.
Blue: I may do some warm-up screams while I wait.
Green, already off-screen: Just don't start without me!

Like yesterday, the answer is blurry. The main groups are the Stormchasers and the spirits they hunt. Both view the other as evil, but both are killing to protect their people. #AntagonistApril #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Writesky #booksky

#AntagonistApril let’s go! Storm Mountain doesn’t have a clear antagonist at first. There are multiple characters that commit horrible acts and you suspect are evil, but the more you learn the fuzzier the line of “Villain” becomes. #WritingPrompts #WritingCommunity #Writesky #Booksky

10/10 recommend this book that broke TikTok law. I beta read it and have to say it’s phenomenal. Side effects may include existential corporate crisis, desire to quit job and become a space llama farmer, and/or phobia of coffee. #WritingCommunity #booksky #Writesky #amwriting

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, the first panel shows little baby Green, sitting alone in an empty void, looking disappointed but not surprised.
Green, narrating: When I was little, life was bad. I thought it would be bad forever.

Next, adult Green is floating through an empty void, not attached to anything.
Green, continuing to narrate: But that passed, and I learned that nothing is forever. Everything is only temporary.

Blue, appearing out of nowhere, grabs Green by the tail, gently holding on to stop him from drifting away.
Green, still narrating: And then you were there. For good.

The foxes settle down to play some kind of a board game. It's unclear which one of them is winning.
Green, narrating: You make me want to believe in "forever".

i love frankenstein (2025) so much #art

artwork of the creature from frankenstein (2025). the creature is the central figure, his body abstracted into the swathes of blues and greens, with a tinge of red, with details of furs of his coat and candles lit with red flames. his torso is carved out, exposing red flesh and a heart connected with veins that have some sprouting flowers, and the final scene of the creature embracing the morning sun. framing the creature are various body parts as well as the halves of victor and elizabeth's faces.

They'll tell you that the arts and humanities aren't practical and then read poetry at funerals and weddings, cry over films and search for meaning in ancient philosophy.
Surviving is one type of practicality, knowing why we bother is another.

Writer: it's not really. The story grows and demands to be poured out. Like a hive of bees living in your throat until you scream

SHY TRANS BANSHEE by Tony Santorella is out today! It’s the super queer and darkly funny follow-up to Bored Gay Werewolf, filled with werewolves, crime, supernatural mystery, millennial ennui and queer found family. Grab yourself a copy here: proud-geek.co.uk/product-page... #booksky #transbooks

Book cover for Shy Trans Banshee by Tony Santorella

Blurb:

Brian, Nik and Darby - three friends practiced in ennui, binge-drinking, hooking up with strangers and fighting supernatural crime (when Brian's not committing it as a werewolf once a month) - have been sent by Abe Van Helsing (yes, one of those Van Helsings) to try to track down a colleague who has gone missing in London.

As they putz around the city, following any leads that might help them find their British counterpart, they uncover a clairvoyancy smuggling ring, located right in the heart of the financial district. Who's kidnapping all the fortune tellers in Soho and why? And is it coincidence, fate or something more sinister altogether that Maeve, a timid trans woman taking time out of her job to track down her birth mother, turns up on the gang's doorstep... and has the uncanny ability to know just what's going to happen next?
