Wow. Talk About Attention To Detail.

"Shadow Lady?" the soft voice of her mother called, warbling through the ocean.

She smiled, zipping through the water toward the sweet song. The muscles in her powerful tail, almost four times as long as her torso, carried her through the currents at a lightning speed. The gem around her neck, connected by a thin chain to the back of her neck, fell flush against her chest as she whipped around rock formations and brushed against seagrass. In a quick motion, she darted into the clam shell leaning against a rock that made her home, doing a quick lap around her startled mom before throwing her hands up and stopping. "I'm here!"

Her mother chuckled. Pink Coral Branch was known to be a gentle giant, as tall as a hydrothermal vent but as warm as a summer ocean current. Her large hand wrapped around her tiny daughter, bringing her close to her chest. 15 feet of human, 15 feet of tail, all boundless love.

A nameless tune drifted through the water, coming from Pink Coral Branch. Shadow Lady tried to join in, though her notes were off-pitch and her inflection sloppy at best.

"One day, child, you will grow as tall as this reef, and be responsible for the life in it." Pink Coral Branch said. "Your top half will be as long as your tail, and your voice will become something very special."

Shadow Lady held up her necklace, feeling a small tug at the top of her spine. Pink Coral Branch reached for her own necklace. "Do you know what's in here?" She took it off her neck and put it in Lizzie's hands, though it was almost larger than her upper body.

"It's our voice!" She said, grinning up at her mother.

Pink Coral Branch nodded, then took the necklace and weaved it back over her head. "When the necklace grows off your neck, you must keep it safe at all times. It will be how you sing, how you beguile, and how you put on a human skin. Never lose it."

Shadow Lady clutched her necklace in both hands, close to her chest. "I will never."

Lizzie sighed dramatically, smacking her face into her arms. "I hate it here."

@baosci @whiver-wyverncat y'all i think my brain did something O-O

All credits to baosci for the AU

Literally yes

steals for the fic again

I like to imagine that the Bambloozers just roughly translated their names from how sirens names work to human english

thats so much more interesting than my idea LMAOOO i was thinking they probably just picked random ones they thought were nice 😭,,,

Lizzie picking hers because she heard it once and thought it was cute,,, id like to also think that jimmy kept trying to name himself stupid stuff so lizzie gets fed up with it and just tells him to name himself jimmy,,, scar just taking a look at himself and going "hrmmmmmm yes this will be a great name" 😭😭

take my quiz if you like EthosLab and/or Kakashi

Want to join Project LUMEN as a script writer?

For other positions, see background artist and UI artist.

In case you don’t know, project LUMEN is an in-development indie game adaption of the Life series, a Minecraft YouTube series created by Grian. Featuring a full RPG experience: battles, a branching timeline with limitless choices, custom and unique visuals from our talented team of artists and, of course, lore: there's a path for everyone to take.

So, hello and welcome to the Writing corner, and we are looking forward to your potential application! 

Now, do not feel intimidated. While we look at examples of your fanfiction writings when considering you, we are not judging your capabilities to write for the game that harshly, because, as you may notice, a game is not fanfiction. It is a script! 

Here’s a basic guide to script writing so you’re not gonna join in blind. And once chosen, you will be guided through the ropes of learning how to write that way! This to say, don’t worry about prose. In the applications we will be mainly looking at dialogue, characterisation and maybe a bit of scene handling. 

This project is big, but I’d like to think the workload isn’t. While LUMEN has a small team of writers, we have managed to split the work between us, going at a steady pace of one seasons/timeline per month, with a week break in between. 

In our normal process, we have each of the seasons’ small and big events alike written down in bullet points and put into a Google Sheet for the Writers to claim. They are the ones to decide on what they want to write, and that usually ends up with them having a two week deadline for the writing of one thousand words-ish. Though we understand if a deadline can’t be met, more time can always be given- we aren’t monsters. That’s the Watcher’s job. Not the Speakers’. 

We also have a meeting every other Sunday to talk about progress and make sure our writings all line up, while also planning out what needs to be done next. These meetings are very fun though, trust.

So make sure to apply when applications come out on the 30th of april, and get in before they close on the 20th of may!

had a dream that jimmy solidarity decided to prove he wasn't autistic on stream by taking a lot of autism diagnosis tests online and he got at least a 90% chance on all of them. at one point joel joined the call and sat in silence for a bit as jimmy practically sobbed as he got another 97% chance. grian was apparently harassing him about something through discord the whole time too. it ended with jimmy crying genuine tears and his girlfriend coming in to comfort him.

WOULD I EVER

i need this so much now-

okay im curious, if me and friend (@flowqr-boy) co-wrote a hermitcraft wings of fire au, would yall read it? 🤔

Oh hey a BigB enthusiast! Exactly what I need lol!

I'd definitely love at least a couple tips, if you've got the time to share em :D

Ok so I know I just made a post like this a little while ago but

I need help writing BigB

I literally barely see him ever in Scott's PoV helpppp D=: I know his basic vibe kinda but I don't know how to make dialogue and I accidentally made him a major character in this scene help!

I've got my Life Series playlist on in the background and I'm building it up again. Feelings are doing their feeling thing but I'm getting it back up. I usually do write it somewhere else, this is a one-time exception, but I'm definitely copying down anything I wrote to Libre once I stop for any reason now. I've got my list of things to hit. I'm gonna do this!

Screenshot of what I have as a little preview/self esteem booster :3

@baosci @whiver-wyverncat

I've got some bad news...

My computer had to reload all my Chrome tabs and apparently I hadn't saved my second chapter of Drowning via preview yet? And like an idiot I hadn't copied it into Libre Office.

So I just lost the entirety of my almost finished second chapter.

I genuinely don't know if my motivation can recover from this, cause I definitely can't remember everything I wrote, and I don't want it to be any different. I feel awful and I'm so sorry. Maybe it's not my place to be, Baosci you are amazing and I can't wait to see where the canon of this goes, but I don't know what to do now. I love y'all. Maybe I'll figure out a different way to write it.

That's all. Just wanted to let you know.

wooo desert duo but tiny

so embarrassing when i forget im checking someone's blog and i start scrolling through and liking and reblogging shit as if it's just my dash. it feels like wandering into someone else's apartment and not noticing and making myself lunch
