bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Scarlett: She pulled out shot glasses, lining them up on the counter with the swiftness of a card dealer. At the edge of her sight, Kristen poked around the suitcases. “Now, now. Do you want to snoop through my stuff, or do you wanna get drunk?”

bsky.app/profile/wips... #WipSnips From Scarlett (convertible instead of convert): A man who definitely looked constipated stood in the lot next to a red convertible, about four rows back. As they came piling out of the door his look changed to astonishment.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Amaranth: He batted it away and tried to step forward, but creeper ivy vines had tangled up his legs and feet. Grass and plants had sprouted all over, and were growing still, transforming the dining room into a small, indoor woodland.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From The Legend of Oakfallow: “A gun. Really? What am I going to use this for? Against who? Film crew and psychics? You think Lady Winternight is going to be frightened of a gun?”

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Human Heart: She didn’t know what to do. The rakir had initiated hostilities, and threatening the life of one of the royal family was certainly a good way to get them to stop, but more questions than she had answers for darted through her mind.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Human Heart: "An unarmed, sick, weak, even dying opponent is still capable of killing you. Never assume. Assumptions end in mission failure. Dropping your guard based on assumptions ends in mission failure. Mission failure is not an option."

bsky.app/profile/wips... From Scarlett: As the world swam, he cupped her chin, and gave it a gentle shake. “This means so little. If we had time, and more privacy, I would be redefining pain and suffering for you. Today is not the day for that, alas.”

bsky.app/profile/wips... From Scarlett: Anne suddenly wished she had taken her up on her offer of a butterscotch. Her mouth was as dry as a desert, - too dry to speak the word that hung on her lips, despite her best efforts.

Is anyone else mad at the fact that they have to pay federal taxes for bullshit they don't want? Like new ballrooms, the Gestapo, child torture, and human trafficking. I wanna pay for education, social services, UBI, and universal health care! I'm so gotdamn mad right now, I need to lie down.

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

At the very least, Congress must disarm ICE, prohibit it from using racial or ethnic profiling, end arrest quotas, remove agents’ immunity from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits, and slash its funding. The Senate has the chance to rein in ICE this week. Keep calling: (202) 224-3121

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

#Wipsnips We haven't got one for 1/5 yet, so I just picked a random line. From Scarlett: “I’m thinking tonight is going to be interesting.” Interesting, he says, but he’s grinning like a ten-year-old boy who’s decided to try sledding down the stairs on his mother’s silver serving tray.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Ink in a Black Sea: It wasn’t a smell at all, but the lack of one. For the first time in all his memory, the scent of home—salt waves and wet sand; tidepools and drying rocks; fish, devil meat, and smoke; sweaty boys and sweatier men—had disappeared.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Ink in a Black Sea: Reklin didn’t seem to have time for lessons or bungle ball, or to even speak to those who had never touched a devilling ship. He’d promised he’d always be one of them, but had traded in his scythe for an eye-blade as long as his calf.

bsky.app/profile/wips... Happy New Year! From Amaranth: Only when Stella’s arm came around her shoulders again did Eva begin to follow. Duncan’s ghost, unseen and unfelt by any but her, came patiently after.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Scarlett: "Using a high-powered rifle you take down a gazelle they can scarcely see. To them, the rifle would be incomprehensible. Killing at such a distance and with no effort would be supernatural.” “So, you’re saying that Scarlett is a time traveler?”

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Ink in a Black Sea: “It’s called Nös. The language, I mean,” Reklin had said. “No one can speak it in full anymore. Well, no one but true descendants of Cimbrea, like the queen.”

bsky.app/profile/wips... #WipSnip From Amaranth: Across the square from Stella, a group of dirty men with calloused hands and overalls gathered. Workers, bussed out of the slums during shift hours for construction labor, digging ditches, tending landscapes, or going down into sewage pipes.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Amaranth: The Black City stood at the end of the Grimling Road, that lonely path through the Otherworld all dead were bound to walk. The gates in its outer wall would never close, they said, until the last living thing in all worlds had passed through them.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From The Human Heart: Sure, she was smart enough too. Devoted to her studies, always completing tests or assignments in the top five percent. But while she was on the high end of good as a pilot, there were still a million other pilots just like her.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Scarlett: A young man, nineteen or twenty, headed his way, appeared between the RVs. He slouched behind dark sunglasses and an oversized straw hat, a too-big red Hawaiian shirt flapping over a tank top. A battered brown case hung from a white-knuckled fist.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Scarlett: “Hey, I'm paying, I choose. Burgers. Great big meaty artery-clogging burgers dripping with ketchup, slathered with tomatoes and avocado. Your childhood favorite as I recall, Mr. Tofu and Wheat Grass. Take a break. Have some fun.”

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Amaranth: The florist overbalanced and spilled, dropping the cart onto its side. Aerro turned to his aid, but the florist gaped instead at his wares. Roots sprang out of every cut end, new leaves unfolding, buds popping out alongside the original blooms.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Amaranth (no 'movement' so used 'removed' instead): “Light, the only time they leave their room is to eat. Anyone goes near them other than me with their order, and that Stella glares them off like she’d be willing to remove baby makers with her teeth.”

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From The Human Heart: The rakir were about to arrive at the fortified position codenamed *Ragnarok*. It was only two hours flight from there to Sol, and where the Goats had dropped the penultimate pebble in their path of jump gates that lead back to Nakira.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Scarlett: He trailed behind, screaming every curse that would come to him. He even made some up. The depth of his fury was almost surreal. Laura wondered which he would drop dead from first—a coronary or heat exhaustion—and just how long it would take.

Melara Dark @melaradark.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From The Human Heart: Haleh Golpari had a spark in her eyes, a defiance, as if she took every interaction- no matter how innocent- as a precursor to a fist fight. She measured Parry, chin lifting as she steeled herself for this imagined confrontation.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Scarlett: Dirty looks assailed him from all sides, including the three nice chickens he’d been chatting with just before the show started. Verdant, however, seemed untroubled. In fact, she smiled. “Ah, what a perverse generation! Always wanting proof!”

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Ferry Tail: "No fighting, cussing, or dripping monster heads on my floor. Not on my beds either. And if a dragon, ogre, troll, or giant is chasing you, you will run *away* from the inn, is that understood?"

Melara Dark @melaradark.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

bsky.app/profile/wips... #Wipsnips From Ferry Tail: Magic crackles through the air as Eugenia stumbles into Lysette, one arm flinging out to block her from the spell. A flash, and Lysette gasps and drops to her knees. There on the ground wobbles a little, fat, brown, and very drunk slug.

Melara Dark @melaradark.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

bsky.app/profile/wips... #WipSnips From Ferry Tail: As well, dear Reader, lest you have forgotten: what Eugenia had clasped in her fist before dropping it back in her pocket was—and is, point of fact—her broomstick.

bsky.app/profile/wips... #WipSnips From So My Grandma Summoned A Demon: The latter was meant to look like gold, but only did if you stood really far away and squinted. Otherwise, it looked like what it was—a cheap costume brooch someone had spray-painted with yellow metallic paint.

bsky.app/profile/wips... From SMGSAD: The light obscured anything farther than five steps in either direction, enveloping everything almost as a fog. They reached a second small terrace, which floated in the center of a brilliant white and occasionally billowy void exactly like islands didn’t.

bsky.app/profile/wips... From Amaranth: *It’s herding them.* Aerro tried to pull all the speed he could from his legs as they neared another small bridge across the Kingsblood. Past it, only the rocky path leading across a field and uphill remained between them and the Stoneguard.
