This Or That Tag.

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.

Forgot to post yesterday's OC kiss for #ockiss24 so I'm going to post it in a minute. Just got the second picture done for today and that will be going up as well.

Last Line Tag

Thank you @thewritingautisticat for tagging me in this! I've managed to work a bit on the next chapter for J&E and this is the beginning part of the chapter.

Scrolling through the catalog for another movie to put on for background noise as he worked on his song for the music venue’s competition and putting one on, he heard his phone go off with his social’s message tone. Who would be messaging him at this time? Unlocking his phone he hoped it was Averi as he liked talking to his friend and could probably use a break until Evander came back home.

Reading the unread message it was from Liber McCoy. His now ex-boyfriend. What he messaged him wasn’t an apology for what he did, but rather the opposite as if he were taunting him from across the country at his college. It read like he was pleased with his actions and not knowing if Jet was safe or not afterwards abandoning him with no way back on his own.

Being in the situation he was in, he almost forgot about Liber and all the emotions from that day flooded back as he blocked and threw his phone away from where he sat. He didn’t have time or the mind space for any of his bullshit that he threw his way. Curling up on the floor, he tried to forget all the pain he inflicted on him so callously as he ignored the tv, his bass, the notebook and pen, letting it all go into the background of his mind.

OC Kiss Week Day Two

This is the background on Evander's (they/them) phone and they're being kissed on their cheek by their partner Jet (he/him). It's also their favorite picture of them together and loves it so much that they wanted it to be their phone's background.

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

Heads up, seven up tag

I was tagged by @k--havok do this tag. Thank you for tagging me in this! Sorry for the quietness on my end, had a little to get done lately. I will tag @elizaellwrites and @sabrina-author to do this tag.

In this excerpt, Jet decides to play his bass a little bit with Evander as his audience for a bit.

After the pause, he said that he was versatile in playing styles and could play almost anything. Plus, he was testing out how well this bass would do with a few playing styles and was more than impressed. They asked him to play something heavy as that was something they wouldn’t mind hearing at the moment.

“How heavy were you thinking?” He asked, switching into the correct humbucker position.

“Surprise me.” They smiled before adding, “You’d be surprised what kind of heavy music I love.”

“Alright, just let me know if it's too heavy.”

He began on the lighter side to start with that quickly turned into a heavier style akin to heavy metal. Knowing how some popular songs had this, he understood how to do this and executed it well.

It was deep, aggressive, and heavy hitting as he played quickly. His tone was, as he thought, imperfect to how his tone normally was on bass. Still, he was happy with it and just had to get to know this bass a little better. To be expected.

Most of what he played was on the heavier side and accented with the lighter playing. It was about the average length of a song of this genre. They enjoyed what he played and complemented his skill with a bass guitar.

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.

OC Kiss Week Day Four

This is Felix and his older sister, Rachel, who he lives with. He's trans and asexual.
