Your WIP in ao3 tags

I was tagged by @sabrina-author to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this! I'll tag @k--havok and @elizaellwrites as well as leaving an open tag for anyone else who wants to do this tag.

These are from my current WIP I'm working on Jet and Evander.

Heads Up, Seven Up Tag

I was tagged by @elizaellwrites to do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this! I will tag @faeveries @k--havok @sabrina-author and @dragonedged-if with this tag.

These are the seven paragraphs from my WIP I'm working on. It happens after Our first meeting where Evander is about to go to work.

“Forget about that; you're not going to be a burden to me. I wanted to help and that's exactly what I'm going to do, no matter what's needed.”

“Thank you for that, Evander. You don't have to do any of this for me.”

“I'm going to anyway. This apartment is going to be a safe place for you and a place that you can feel comfortable living in.” They said, wanting him to know that he has a safe place in the apartment, always. “It's just as much your place to live as it is mine and I want to know that and tell me what you need.”

“Really?” He sounded surprised by that and was trying to hide it in his voice, looking at them.

“Definitely, this is a safe place and you don't need to worry about anything like that.”

He looked down, almost like he was saddened by their reassurance that he was safe and didn't have anything to worry about. It was something that should've made him feel better but it didn't look like it had that effect. They asked if he was alright from his reaction.

Nodding slightly, he thanked them for being so kind and willing to help him out when he was nothing more than a stranger to them. They had no obligation to do anything they've already done for him. Still, he was grateful for it.

OC Kiss Week Day One — Almost

Jet (he/him) and Evander (they/them) are at the music venue with Averi (he/him), who took this picture of them both. At this point Evander is getting to the point where they can't hide their feelings for Jet and behaving a lot more timid than normal. He feels the same and waiting for a good time to tell them just as they are. That leaves them both in a cycle of being obvious to everyone else but not each other until it can't be helped and leaving their friends/family wanting them to just say it to the other.

This is a scene planned for a chapter in my WIP J&E.

Thank you for tagging me in this @elizaellwrites! Love the questions you gave me and I will be using four characters from my WIP J&E.

More under the cut.

What is your favorite/most precious object?

Jet: My most precious object? It's my silver bass that Evander gifted me. *Smiling so big at the thought of them* To me it's so much more than an instrument as it is a physical token of their love at this point. And don't even think of harming it or else.

Evander: I don't really have a physical object that's my favorite or most precious, but I do consider music Jet plays and creates my favorite. I don't care what anyone says about that one. *Smiling as they say this*

Gunnar: I have a fluorite crystal tree I think is beautiful and have it on my desk for decoration. What? Who said lawyers are boring people who can't like beautiful things?

Marla: I have a croton plant I have in the backyard and it's huge. Took a while to do but it's impressive and I love it.

Who are your best friends/closest allies?

Jet: My best friends in life are Averi and my partner, Evander. My other friends are Ainsley, Aria, Elliott, Felix, Samantha, and Jasper.

Evander: Jet is my best friend even though he's my partner, but I think it's wonderful to have your partner be your best friend. As for my friend group, I have my two friends from college, Samantha and Jasper, and Jet's friends, Averi, Ainsley, Aria, Elliott, and Felix. Though out of his friends, I get along best with Averi, Aria, and Ainsley.

Gunnar: Just a few work colleges that I have close relationships with outside of work and my law firm partner.

Marla: Just some friends I have online from a few years ago I made when I was younger and hung out with often. Like to keep in touch that way.

Do you have any obsessions?

Jet: I think it's music and things that go into music production, but a certain someone says it's caffeine. Don't know why, I just have four bags of coffee and a large box of energy drinks I enjoy.

Evander: Have you seen my cabinet? It's tea. I love it and I'm a self proclaimed tea addict.

Gunnar: You want to know what the best type of coffee is for your taste, I'm the one who can tell you. I've tried a lot of different coffees to know what the differences are.

Marla: Landscaping designs are my thing and why I have a half complete degree in it. It's so beautiful and interesting that you can't help but love.

What's your family like?

Jet: *silence and slowly blinking* Can we go to the next question? I hate talking about this and I don’t want to either. Don’t care for any of it at all and want to forget about it all.

Evander: My family is very warm, accepting, and supportive. We are close knit and even though my sister and I are eight years apart, we’re very close and she looks to me as a role model which I’m honored to hold that position in her eyes.

Gunnar: I work a lot and I would love to have more time away from work to be with my family and son. But from what I hear, everything is going well and is when I’m there, so I’m glad and happy with that knowledge. Plus I will be able to have more time with them one day.

Marla: It’s very quiet and easy going. Can’t say that anything is going wrong with it and things are going well. Nothing to complain about.

Do you look up to anyone in particular?

Jet: I've always liked Salem from Ravenge and her demeanor, as well as being one of my favorite bassists who influenced me. She's truly one of the best and is an advocate for so many things that she is a certified badass.

Evander: Those who use their skills and voice to do good in the world on the behalf of others. It doesn't matter what their skill is that allows them to have a big enough voice, as long as they have that, I hold those people in high standing.

Gunnar: I wouldn't say look up to as much as I admire these types of people; those who overcome their difficult circumstances and come out on top despite everything. Those people have a drive few possess and that in of itself is highly admirable. So I suppose you could say I look up to those people by my reasoning.

Marla: I don't have anyone who I look up to as I don't care for that sort of thing. It's nothing to me and I won't bother.

I’m going to tag @kcooper95, @foxys-fantasy-tales, @fracturedfable, and @k--havok

Your questions are:

What is your favorite memory

What is your favorite way to spend a Sunday?

If you could have any object, what would it be and why?

What is your favorite type of music?

If you could have any skill, what would you choose and why?

Heads up, seven up tag

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag. I'll tag @sabrina-author @elizaellwrites to do this tag.

From the WIP where Evander goes to work while Jet is left at the apartment.

Right now he didn’t feel like playing very much and hasn’t played really since he had his silver bass either. He decided to put a movie on the tv and try to find something to eat later on. Maybe later on he would look up places around the area to visit.

The movie he picked was a part of a duology and ended up watching the second after the first finished its run time. Looking up the movies for more information about them, he found out that they were adaptations of an old fantasy novel.

Finding the novel in question, it was published about a decade before he was born and had reasonable popularity after its publication. However, it never had the popularity the movies received and seemed to fade into a bit of obscurity.

10 songs, 10 people

I was tagged by @k--havok to do this tag! Thanks for taking me in this. I'll tag @elizaellwrites @dragonedged-if and @sabrina-author as well as an open tag for anyone else who would like to do this tag.

Rules: put your library on shuffle and post the first ten songs, then tag ten people

I have a playlist that contains most of the music I listen to nearly every day when I go out to do something and very often when I do other things at home. This is a full list of songs that I have in separated playlists depending on how I feel or in the mood for. It doesn't contain all the songs I listen to, but it's just what I have downloaded on my phone. Also, as something who loves a good bassline in music, a lot of the songs I have contain a good bassline. I'll put a 🎸 next to the songs that have this next to the songs below.

Riot by Three Days Grace 🎸

Rebirthing by Skillet 🎸

Believe by Hollywood Undead

Gone Forever by Three Days Grace 🎸

So far gone by Thousand Foot Krutch

The phoenix by Fall Out Boy 🎸

Boulevard of broken dreams by Green Day 🎸

One more light by Linkin Park

One step closer by Linkin Park 🎸

Sound of madness by Shinedown 🎸

Thanks for tagging me in this @foxys-fantasy-tales! For this I'm only going to use these characters from my WIP I took off from here with Jet and Evander. Hopefully, this worked out as some of them are very complex with their characterization and arcs.

I'm going to tag @k--havok, @elizaellwrites, and leave an open tag

Character voice tag

Thank you @elizaellwrites for tagging me in this! I have a total of 18 characters who make an appearance in my WIP J&E and I'm going to do something with each of my characters for this tag.

My prompt was: Calling to ride shotgun in a car or vehicle.

Evander: I'm probably gonna regret doing this with my sedan and being a teacher for you Jet, but let's try to make it out in one piece alive, okay?

Jet: You think I can dive? There's a reason I only have a permit and not a driver's license yet. Evander can tell you all about that.

Averi: So you think I'm a disaster of a driver? Hey! I got us there in one piece and only two hours late. That isn't improvement from last time? Then I call shotgun! At least I can still be in the front that way.

Serna: I'm an expert at finding where we need to go as we're out. You want to enjoy the day and do fun things, you want me riding shotgun.

Gunnar: I'm six foot two. The back seat is going to have me compressed. I'm taking the passenger seat since no one is going to be sitting behind me and I can adjust the seat.

Micha: I'm not driving on that crazy road myself so I'm leaving that to you my dear.

Jasper: Why can't I have a little royal treatment and have the passenger side for once and not drive all the time?

Amber: I won the game! Passenger side is mine!

Derryl: I get to ride shotgun home if I win this final game of bowling against you. Is that a deal unless you think you'll lose?

Liber: You? Driving? This ought to be good. Let's see if you can get us there with time to spare. I'm going to be silently judging you along the way, just so you know.

Marla: Honestly, I'd get more enjoyment out of this trip if I didn't have to drive, so I'm not going to. Not doing anything I don't need to on vacation.

Elliot: How else do you expect me to appreciate the scenery during the drive over? You've been there before and I haven't so I get to be in the passenger seat to see the beautiful scenery leading up to our location.

Ainsley: I'm not usually in the passenger side when I go out with all of you, but I actually like it more than driving despite being the best driver out of everyone here.

Samantha: You know where this place is you wanna take me out so show me sweetie. I don't know where it is and you want to treat me, so if you do this I'll pay for the dinner. Deal?

Aria: After all that I am going to sit in the passenger seat. And we're not taking the freeway next time I drive! Too stressful for my blood.

Milliey: *Running out to the car against her friends* I call shotgun! I called it!

Felix: How else would you be able to hear the new rhythm I came up with if I don't call shotgun? Exactly, you want a drummer this is the territory that comes with, now let's go pick up my new kit.

Sasha: You'll get yourself lost if I don't go with you. Remember the last time you refused to look up the address before you left? I'm directing you.

I'm going to tag @foxys-fantasy-tales @fracturedfable @k--havok @athenswrites and leave an open tag for anyone else who would like to do this.

Your prompt is: What are we doing today?

Update on my hiatus and for my page.

I'm going to be returning now and I have some updates for my page as well as my WIP.

I'm going to be changing my theme

I will no longer be posting my WIP here as I'm going to be working on it off of Tumblr and try to publish it later. The reason for this is because I was talking with someone about my WIP and they were interested in it, saying that it should be considered for publishing. I didn't have much luck with my first, but they gave me some good resources. However, if it still falls through I could always self publish.

I'll still be writing and posting on here with everything explained in a pinned post.
