partying like a Quaker - adult - writeblr-adjacent, everything i post is about salt story or boat story unless it isn't

"What are salt story and boat story?"

My writing WIPs! I'm actively writing boat story right now, and salt story is on the back burner while I rework its structure.

SALT STORY:

Something like the Bible, if it took place in reverse and was also sci-fi. The story of how God The Daughter was created.

When the human soul was born, it collapsed the veil between the divine and material planes, and the universe began tearing apart. In the far, far future, great and terrible angels roam the apocalypse-terraformed earth, and humanity is dwindling. The Church of Saint П works in futility to complete its millennia-long translation of a divine codex that will reconstruct the veil.

BOAT STORY:

A surrealist, chaoskampf myth, featuring strange geometries and a very large boat.

You, a passenger, awake with knowledge and memory of nothing but THE SHIP you are on. You find yourself compelled to explore the endlessly fractalling decks of THE SHIP as you voyage through a world of ghosts. The Captain and her Court are full of mysteries and secrets, and you have an enemy aboard THE SHIP.

Characters under the cut :)

"cares about people too much" is a great trope and all but what about "doesn't care enough". where's "i've had to leave so many people who were important to me that now i do it without any emotional response at all" and "i know how you feel for me but when i think about losing you it's just a blank sense of apathy"

Stained-glass window and tiled wall section from the Torre Bellesguard, also known as Casa Figueres, designed by Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona. The building was constructed between 1900 and 1909 and blends Modernism with Gothic architectural styles.

i like the term "gallows humor" because it always makes me think of someone getting sentenced to death and being like "i have GOT to be the funniest person at my public execution"

[guy whose bedtime is approaching fast] I need to write one billion words right now. and draw everything that has ever existed.
