wrote 50k of a book loosely based on my experience getting diagnosed with EDS in 2018-2019, fell off writing it, just picked it up to brutally cull it down to 31k and try again. Let's see if I can finally finish it lmao #writing #AmWriting #ChronicIllness

A screenshot from a word processing document that reads:
“Mallory Harris?” the doctor asked as he opened the door.
“Yes?” I tried to pitch my voice ‘friendly, but not manic.’
Heaving a gusty sigh, he sat next to the computer monitor on its swinging arm, resting one forearm next to the keyboard. The well-used office chair creaked under him.
“Well, honestly,” he started, and my stomach dropped.
Here it comes.
“Your bloodwork looks fine.”
Yup. It always does.
He swung the computer monitor around to point out some values that were apparently extremely normal, occasionally holding uncomfortable eye contact while I nodded and didn’t hear a word.
“Good! Then we’ll see you next year for your physical!”
Smiling dismissively, he went to stand.

outlining is like fumbling through a dark room with your eyes closed, but at least sometimes you can make silly noises to keep to keep yourself amused. (I swear this is meant lightheartedly)

CW: gore (just a little bit) Hope you're getting ready to fight by Zev's side in Freq System: Breach 👀 (Good luck.) #Writing

a screenshot from a word processing document that reads:
A group of infiltrators burst out, clawing over each other. The tortured sounds they emit slides down the back of your neck, and goosebumps erupt in their wake.
One splits into wet chunks to the tune of Zev's manic laughter, its twitching parts rolling before beginning to dissolve.
Zev rockets past the grisly pile and you’re surprised to see them taking infiltrators on with heavy punches and kicks, some causing mini-detonations like delayed shotgun blasts.
Then you have bigger problems, as one angles toward you.
Shit. Your bullets don’t seem to do much. It has heavy forward armor and a massive, drooling maw.

I love how prickly Jin is 😂 (He has good reason to be. 👀) From the script for Freq System: Breach. #Writing

A screenshot from a word processing document that reads:
Jin: “Make yourself useful. Storm’s getting worse.”
Make yourself useful. Jeez.
He’s not wrong: the wind has picked up and concerning noises are emanating from the storm wall.
You shove the stakes into the ground in a circle around him, then brush your hands together and observe your handiwork.
MC: “So. You ever gonna tell me your name?”
Jin: “That desperate for your report to be accurate?”

MC: “I’m gonna be honest, that sounds like bullshit. You seem far too underprepared to be out here alone.”
Firbolg stills, then lets out a hearty laugh. It sounds genuine enough, but it irks you nonetheless. Do you really seem like that negligible a threat? Rifle included?
Firbolg: “We orphan species can be quite mysterious, hm?”
Alright, whatever. He can keep his secrets.

This isn't 'fluster' necessary but it's my favorite bit of flirting that I've written recently (that isn't from a fic haha, I try to avoid posting snippets of those on this account). From Freq System: Breach. You'll have to work for this scene in the game, so good luck 👀 #Writing

A screenshot from a word processing document that reads:
They take a deliberate step toward you, openly taking you in from lips to thighs and back again.
Zev: “Ready to finish what we started?”
You smile, holding their gaze, as you place a hand on their chest.
MC: “I’d love to.”
Their brows tick up in barely-suppressed surprise, but a lascivious grin replaces it quickly.
Thick arms raise to encircle you — and you duck under them, slapping Zev on the ass as hard as you can as you pass by.
MC: “… maybe some other time. You reek of infiltrator guts.”
You shake your head, grinning, as you hear them falling to laughter behind you.

I don't have a forest but I have a tree! (Snippet of script from the first draft to Freq System: Breach, a short scifi/cyberpunk VN!) #TBBPrompt #Writing #AmWriting

screenshot from a word processing document reading:
Zev: “Aww, is my little rabbit worried about me?”
MC: “Fuck’s sake, why did I even say anything.”
You shake your head in bewilderment, and they laugh — a genuine, full-throated sound direct from their big chest.
You push off the tree, absently checking for any other injuries and to make sure your weapon is still intact. Your head throbs dully, and various other places sting, but you’re whole enough to keep going.

The FSB (formerly Project:Freqs prequel) script is technically complete, but it has a lot of little holes I have to patch up, like this addition of a quick way to detect if an Agent is compromised. (which does become relevant 👀) #writing #AmWriting

a screenshot from a word processing document that reads:
Thamzen: “You’ve used the call and response system?”
MC: “Heard of it, but haven’t used it, no.”
Thamzen: “Alright, when someone says the password phrase ‘bananarama fishsicle,’ you respond with ‘four-oh-seven-three.’ It’s how we can be sure someone isn’t compromised or an infiltrator.”
You suppress a shudder at the thought of an infiltrator looking enough like a person to pass as one. All the documentation you’ve ever seen on them shows them as twisted, half-melted abominations.
Thamzen, as if reading your mind, smiles.
Thamzen: “Hasn’t happened yet, but anything is possible with infiltrations. Alright, repeat that back to me.”
You dutifully obey, trying (and mostly succeeding) to not find the exchange ridiculous. You suppose that’s the point; can’t guess it if it’s nonsense.

Sometimes you just have to get Words Down, even if those words are vague. Proud of myself that I stopped the spiral; I'm tired af and my brain doesn't wanna focus but I wanna get a least *something* done. So basic vague outlining it is. My future self will be happy I did it. #writing

Trying to decide if this is in-character or out-of-character lol (I'm gonna say the sentiment is in character but the language might not be. I think he's a little too much of a tightass to swear in company outside his own crew.)

Ilya's scene is almost done, and that puts me at halfway through the first draft script of the Project:Freqs prequel! (did you catch the reference to TFB? 😉) #Writing #AmWriting

a screenshot from a word processing document that reads:
Footsteps approach at a quick pace, then stop.
Agent: “Hey!”
Ilya raises his hands in a gesture of surrender and you finally glance over to find another uniformed Agent.
They scrunch their brow as they take you in. You get it — you must be scuffed up and look like you’ve seen a ghost.
Not inaccurate, really.
You’re probably also way too close to the storm wall, but you really don’t want to confirm that.
Agent: “Bananarama fishsicle.”
You blink, mind still sluggish from the infiltration’s effects, before it clicks. The password Thamzen told you before you set out, to check if someone was mentally compromised.
It takes a moment of searching to recall the response.
MC: “Four-oh-seven-three.”
The Agent nods and visibly relaxes.
Agent: “You alright?”
You scrape to your feet, nodding with effort.
MC: “We’re fine. Just got too close.”

Sneaky peeky of the Project:Freqs prequel as I iron the outline into proper writing! #Writing #AmWriting #VisualNovel

A word processing screenshot that reads:
You tilt your chin toward the storm wall, which he, boldly, has his back to.
MC: "And you? Little close, don’t you think?"
The grin that stretches the line of his mouth feels oddly impish.
Firbolg: “Ah, in my case, the ‘independent’ is more important than the ‘researcher.’ I wander the wilds without IMC support. I’d be in a bad way if infiltrations intimidated me.”
CHOICE
Let it go
That’s true, if not startling — but he seems confident enough to back it up.
You decide it’s not worth an argument. You still have a whole-ass patrol to do, after all.
Question him
MC: “I’m gonna be honest, that sounds like bullshit. Where’s your gear, your weapon?”
Firbolg stills, then lets out a hearty laugh. It sounds genuine enough, but it irks you nonetheless. Do you really seem like that negligible a threat? Rifle included?
Firbolg: “We orphan species can be quite mysterious, hm?”
Alright, whatever. He can keep his shtick.
Frankly, if he wants to get himself killed, that’s none of your business.
The sensor in your chest patch will record the interaction, and it’s not really your job to interrogate him to expose a potential lie.
You just need to report it when you get back to camp.

Oh wait, I think I actually did see her! I asked her to pose for a picture and she did, but she rushed off before I could ask her name or where she came from. *loads up Photos and flips the screen around to show Sylvan* She's gorgeous. Maybe she was having a bad day? She still smiled, though...

A stylized digital painting of an armored figure with long black hair, seen from above. They have a spiky black-and-red halo, their face is shadowed, though their eyes are glowing cerulean. They have huge, tattered, leathery dark wings, with feathers at the top. Looming over them is a shadow with a golden crack down the middle of it, the light from which illuminates part of their face. There are also cracks in the ground beneath them, some of which are glowing cerulean.

I don't have a 'damage' but I've got a 'hurt' for ya. Sneak peek from Ilya's scene of the Project:Freqs prequel! (This is a rough outline, so don't mind the punctuation/shitty writing 🫠) #TBBPrompt #writing

A screenshot from a word processing document that reads:
there doesn't seem to be anything there, so you approach the person. he looks up at you with wide, terrified eyes. they send a shiver through you for reasons you can't identify; like a strangeness there and gone again too quickly to grasp. then all your brain can focus on is how desperate and afraid he looks, lashes rimmed wetly.
and shit, he's beautiful.
It's really not an appropriate time to notice but he really is almost inhumanly beautiful, like a doll. He visibly recoils at meeting your eyes.
Ilya: "Don't hurt me —"
his voice is deeper than you'd have expected for his size and appearance.
this is clearly someone exhibiting signs of having been either affected by or transported here from the infiltration. you swing your rifle to your side and kneel down, hands extended slightly what you hope is a nonthreatening, reassuring pose.
what were you supposed to say to the infiltration-afflicted again?

A "hairstyle challenge" meme with the character Yuri Velles, who is a pale, androgynous person with shaggy white hair. He is shown with his casual look, a date night look, a different color (brown, which he doesn't like), with goth accessories, in something he would never wear (corporate look), swapped with another character (Saitama in that viral "ok." panel), longer, shorter, and "free case" which is him pouting while dressed up as early era Dolly Parton.
