I write in dark mode, so I'm finding out what editing in portable light mode is like!

Somehow this is working better than ANY time I ever studied and it's the same principles 🤔

#WitchChild
A poorly focused image of a note page and a typed page. It is chapter 1 Page 1 of Witch Child: Demons in Dunraven, written by myself and undergoing its first major edits.

And today marks the day of the death of my silly little #WIP note that makes me smile whenever I see it;
“Why thank you, I’ve certainly lived long enough to earn it.” *laughs in deity reincarnate*

Australian English, according to Microsoft Word, is WILD you guys.

I'm not *entirely* sure why it doesn't recognise phasmophobia as a word, but I sure as hell DID NOT MEAN HOMOPHOBIA 💀😤
Microsoft word flagging 'phasmophobia' as incorrectly spelled, with 'homophobia' as it's first 'did you mean' suggestion.

#WIP #Preview #WitchChild

The difference between making notes of a scene (script) and actually writing out the scene (Draft)!

Notes;
I have it set to English (Australia) which apparently hates the term s'mores.
Parwill is Vegemite - look up it's history! You'll see :) Dunraven = VIC, Australia
“Yeah, but that gets hard to eat sometimes when you don’t eat anything else.” Not wanting her palette to get bored and affect her appetite, Victor opened one of the containers he’d put on the bench. A small wisp of condensation could be seen rising from the food inside, like it had just come out of a fridge in temperatures ranging in the negative Celsius zone. “I brought you some things I made from the stuff in my garden, and some stuff from class yesterday and there’s some leftovers from dinner last night – Dad cooked that.” Popping open other containers as well as unwrapping foods, Victor revealed a large spread full of variety, all from his fridge and kept cool thanks to the lining inside his custom-made lunch bag. First was a square container divided into four; two long sections, and two short ones. The long sides were full of potato wedges and carrot sticks, and the short sides contained two condiment pots. One had sour cream with diced chives from his garden mixed through, and the other had sweet chilli sauce. Snacking on a carrot stick absently as he opened up another container, Victor then revealed the leftovers his father Nathan had cooked the night prior. They’d eaten stir fried chicken and vegetable strips in plum sauce and served it with rice, the two halves of the dish sitting together but with a clear line down the middle so it could be split or mixed as the diners wished. The third container Victor opened up held some of his leftovers from his Cooking class the day before. Having made cake to celebrate the upcoming end of their first term for the year, the sweetness of the apple tea cake mixed with the scent of plum from the last container, making for a very enticing collection of foods so far. The tea cake had a smaller, separate container inside full of whipped cream as an optional addition to the dessert, since Victor didn’t know Rhianna’s preferences regarding taste. The last container wasn’t a cold one like the rest, full of shelf-stable items t… [Victor pulls out the carrots and sour cream with chives, along with a pot of sweet chilli sauce, cold potato wedges in one container. In another there’s some stir fried chicken with vegetables in plum sauce served with rice. A third container contains tea cake with fresh berries and a pot of optional whipped cream and the last container is full of shelf stable items that are associated with a campfire; bread for toast as well as chocolate, biscuits and marshmallows for smores. There’s also a small pot of Parwill and some butter]

Bored out and about while I wait for my car, so I decided to scribble my own art style of this ADORABLE adopt I bought from @itsashowtime.bsky.social on Ko-Fi!

This is Bea Graham from Aeon City, an investigative reporter for her blog, focuses on crime, and has MANY internal connections to the ACPD!

#Tropes101 31/7: A snippet of a scene I really love.

This is one of the biggest snippets I'm probably ever gonna share, but it's from #WitchChild Chapter 2: The Storm
“I’m thinking of trying something in a creative field, I’ve always enjoyed Art, and History this year is actually really engaging so far! Mr Barnes has been doing a wonderful job.” More blackberries tumbled into the tub, almost full of small, purple goodness now. Then, as she stopped to listen, a small frown appeared on Valerie’s face. “Hey, do you guys hear that?” Her exceptional hearing was at it again, since the boys paused and listened, but had no idea what she was referring to. They could hear birds, and the rustling of leaves. Occasionally, a faint echo of the ocean could even be heard, but that was rare. “What is it Val?” Her forehead creased, brows knitting together as she looked toward the sky. “It sounds like… Voices. Voices on the wind. Someone calling for help?” She paused for a brief moment. “There’s no storm on the forecast, right?” Looking between both males that typically planned ahead on their outdoor adventures. Manson immediately pulled out his phone, whilst Victor shook his head. “I checked three times since last night, there’s not meant to be any rain until next week.” The hairs on their arms raised, goosebumps rippling across the skins of the three teenagers. “But it definitely feels like a big one is moving in fast. We better get going.”

Bonus game: Magna Carta for the PS2.
TIL there's a second one.
Fun but I the Chi was a complicated battle system for little (9yo) me since it didn't follow a "standard" RPG typing.
Then again I played mostly Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Star Ocean and other genres. Watched games like Tales of, etc
Magna Carta front cover for the PS2, by 505 Game Street. Has a male with light skin, white hair and a long white coat but no sleeves, high collar. Detached sleeves are dark grey with a white pattern. He is holding hands with the female who has light skin, dark hair and a white coat over a white, dress. She is holding a large white staff in her free hand, visible as background. There are a lot more details but please forgive me, I don't know how to describe them all.

Quoting with a game I would instantly buy if remastered or remade;

I would, especially if they fixed the bug halfway through the game that means you may never be able to finish it.

(Would have picked Rogue Galaxy but idk if upscaling graphics counts as remastered/remade).
Blue Dragon front cover. Videogame for the XBox 360 with the art by Akira Toriyama.

#Tropes101 18/7:

Some exposition about the Demons and how they are entering Dunraven! BOOK LORE BOOK LORE BOOK LORE XD

Though it's not book lore in the usual method, I summed up the tomes information rather that 'directly quoting' a passage from it like I love 😅
Sitting in the ancient red leather chair behind the desk, Ryder grabbed a second book from his bag. Opening the old volume retrieved from the shelf first, he flicked it to information that had been collected about the appearances of demon manifestations. “So, it looks like your elemental demons are more just projections of demonic consciousness at the moment.” Turning the book around so the trio could gather and read it themselves, it spoke about how projection worked for both humans and demons. With small tears open between this realm and that of Demonus, the Titan of Fire, a spirit could pass through where a body could not. Once on the other side, these demons use their elemental affinities to create forms for themselves to wreak havoc and attempt to widen these holes, wanting to come through in their full forms to begin their master’s domination plans.
