  1. Strange dream I had. To take a death that was not yours. Cause the option is apparently there to die in another’s stead. All I know it was of the utmost importance that they live.

    1. JayDee

      JayDee

      I’m up for it. It doesn’t even have to be important for them to live tbh.

      When at last you begin to tred that crossroad that edge of known between here and hereafter where the psychopomps dwell thine life already ebbing the question remains. The chance to save another also dying will push you beyond life’s ending.

  2. There’s something to be said for writing a sex scene and suddenly get waylaid cause you don’t know the growing season for olive trees.:dots::spank2:

      “My characters are happy. They got way laid in an Olive grove.”

       

    2. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      There’s also the possibility to be laid by the Olive grove.

  3. Kinda weird that Tarnished Lion is my most viewed story. Surreal.

      Out of curiosity, why do you find that weird?  Are you just not particularly fond of it, is it about length, or is it something else?

    2. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      Nothing like that.

      Just the thought of a random idea and bam people seem to like it. Hahah.

    3. InBrightestDay

      Well, hey, sometimes things just work out like that. :)

  4. Almost done doing one last major edit for Lichlove

    namely a rename as Resurgent. In addition to adding more details and a chapter or two.

    The sequel is Throne Of Asphodel. 

    And the end of the Trilogy: TBA Getting closer to the endroad and learning the intracies of self-published writer Haha.

  5. Ghoulneedle is finished

    And Winterfell has just begun

    life is good :happykitten:

  6. Finally, That horrid writer’s block is over

    :D

  7. Working at a mall you see all sorts of people.

    Tonight, I had an unpleasant experience to meet a blackguard. 

    A fair bit disconcerting to feel unclean in the traditional sense.

    Definitely, not used to people able to poison the atmosphere where they dwell and defile the vibe of a place long after they leave. With a lingering wrongness that raises the hairs on the back of your neck.

    Co-workers called them demon people and I’m inclined to agree. I steadfastly refused to look at these people in the eye because there was something inhumane in the way they looked at others.

    I don’t think the extra strength cleaning solution covers spiritual filth.

      It was something I don’t wish to repeat.

      There is a word I hesitate to use but its the only one that accurately describes them.

      It was a very disconcerting realization that it factually exists.

      That Evil Exists.

      Well that sucks. :( I hope ya ok.

      It's taking some time to process for sure. And with it my ability to write is utterly frozen.

      New information requires analysis and ponderance. Especially, since some people or something attempting to pass as people thoroughly violates your worldview by existing.  I have to re-evaluate.

      At heart, I’m an optimistic realist. Everything will turn out for the better.

      In a world of gray full of nuance and context. It's best to avoid the unrepentant black that's for sure.

      And three other people at work are suffering from nightmares because of them so i’m not alone.

      They had carrot ale before carrot cake. What a time to be alive.

    3. Strange_idea

      Strange_idea

      carrots were around before potatoes. so it makes sense. also, they were black, white and purple then. long story

      they also had the can before the can opener

       

      related historical oddity, the colour orange is named for the fruit. not the other way around.

    4. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      That has always been a fascinating tidbit of history.  Before orange people either used the term ochre or stranger terms.

      Most interesting is the fact. That orange is the most accurate way to describe that particular color rather than yellow-brown or weirder things

  10. I love my parents.

    I’m at work late. I turn around and the arizona rain hit. Its raining sideways the wind is howling and moaning and my car is in the farthest reaches of the parking lot.

    and my parents of all people drive up and help me to my car.

    I don’t deserve them. :happykitten:

    1. JayDee

      JayDee

      Amazing the stereotypes we get about places! I wasn’t aware Arizona had rain.

    2. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      Not often but when it does. It floods cause arizona has alot of clay-based soil

      you

      should truly see it in northern arizona on a plateau its a sight to behold.  In the city however, there's nowhere for the water to drain cause the city planners are  duds and microbursts are common.

  11. I was a dead star shone red into the infinite dark I bled

    A dying city my inhabitants long dead

    maintenance kept me just shy of that envied flat-line

    My roots dug deep

    your branches mixed with mine and my roots together entwine with thee and thine

    Until I could no longer tell were you me?

    Or was I mine?

    Did I bleed out? Or did you bleed in?

    A death that lasted yet was not mine

    But was thee and thine

    Here at the end

    Time’s Den

    To see with Dead and Dying sight

    A strange mix of you and me

    and through thine blooded light

    A stranger’s might.

    Impossibly bright.

    Beginning.

      Dying star, burn still bright

      Cling to Life with all your might

      The ampitheatre's long abanroned

      The city's gone and left you stranded

      Your empty audience lies dreaming strange

      You stand, unheeded on it's stage

      But somewhere else your light has travelled

      The darkness that it's touched unravelled

      Some will will drink your crimson light

      Some won't know the subtle light

      But out there, somewhere, your light will find

      Another soul to touch and guide

      Even unseen, your beauty shines

      And will be treasured, by all who find. 

      So stand tall and proud, and enjoy the show.

      Your life has reach you'll never know.

       

  12. Note to self check the weather before going on the nightly jog.

    Barely a mile in and I get blindsided with a duststorm. Good old AZ

    Where grit and sand get into places they were never meant to go

      I can relate. Last year I spent an hour hiding under a bridge because I got caught in a massive rainstorm while biking home. My wife couldn’t even come pick me up because the streets were flooded.

    3. InvidiaRed

      InvidiaRed

      Had to throw the shirt and gym shorts out. It was like the grit had become solidly enmeshed in the fabric and like hell I’m gonna ruin the washer and I’m not willing to have sandy clothes every time I wash.

      Hahah lessons were learned.

           One time me and a buddy went for a run without checking the weather and some how missed that there was an active tornado watch in the area.  Halfway into the run, the skies got dark, like might as well have been night, winds were threatening to uproot trees (and us) and it started raining sideways.  We had to take shelter in a nearby building until it passed.

  14. Any tips on writing a boss battle?

    Thinking on maybe doing Raid Boss style. Haha

    Ghoulneedle after needs needs a fitting ending.

    1. Strange_idea

      Strange_idea

      I've seen some examples, I might be able to help.  How many participants, how powerful are they and what established combat methods have they shown?

    2. InvidiaRed

      Boss is an epic 25th level wizard with Wiz 20/Archmage 5 (Homebrew)

      With the following buffs

      -Warden Of Undermountain. The Wards of Undermoutain protects its master granting damage reduction based on how many prisoners are interred in Undermountain.

      - Heart Of Undermountain- Great power is drawn from demons and other fell horrors trapped in the demon level. Once per the lich’s turn. Morovith can attempt to draw on this wellspring of power but may take no other action this turn. Roll a d100.

      And one passive

      - Spellcraft Phylactery- As long as the epic spell Darkened Sky exists. Shielding the necrocracy from the damaging effects of the sun. Morovith  cannot be permanently destroyed and will return  in 3d20 years. As long as Morovith exists Darkened Sky cannot be suppressed or dispelled with its effects resuming in 3d6 rounds. If Morovith sacrifices an epic level spell. The effects resume immediately.

  15. Penultimate chapter of Ghoulneedle completed.

      I know how that feels.  Good luck!

  16. Dreams are weird. This thing could rupture universes by will alone and cause stars to supernova by looking at them.

    Its galaxies were breathtaking works of art. Somehow it knew I pitied it and that pity was an insult. For all its power it just didn’t have that spark required for life. Like having all the ingredients for a recipe but still somehow missing a vital component. Sorta like wanting to make a pizza but not having an oven.

    It said life was pointless but I’ve never known the answer so inherently.

    I said the point of life was to live. That it had no right to insult even a single living cell. Since they just by existing were doing what they were meant to.

    Its worlds were beautiful. In a sad sorta away for the one thing they all had in common was that they were devoid of life and always would be. It is the height of tragedy that all that beauty and breathtaking views were for it and it alone. And I couldn’t help but pity it.

      An echo of sentience, unable to shift from it's predetermined path or turn against it's nature.

       Funnily enough, this is roughly how I understand the ideas of angels not having free will.

      Sometimes I do not wish to dream.

      For it's impolite to see with eyes that are not yours.
