In a world menaced by an invasive insectoid species, the best bet to stop the encroaching Hivelands from turning the Overside into a barren wasteland is a group of horny weirdos. Ain't that just the way.
ORIGINAL TEXT: Okay, some background.
For some time now, I've been working on a new original work. Borne of me realizing that I had a lot of adopted characters sitting around that I wasn't doing anything with and a desire to make Hornier Art, I started workshopping a fantasy story using these adopted OCs. What started out as "excuse plot to facilitate a bunch of fantasy sex and violence" eventually spiraled, as it often does with me, into backstories, worldbuilding, character arcs, narrative themes, etc etc you get the point.
While I do want to work on a larger piece that tells a grander story, I've started by writing some short 4 to 8 page scenes intended to introduce characters, concepts, and just establish the world's status quo. I've been posting these pieces over on my Bluesky along with writer commentary discussing what each piece is meant to explore or accomplish, what the process of creating each one was like, and challenges faced in constructing the events in the scene.
Below the cut I'll be linking all the scenes I've written so far, plus brief introductions to the characters. I'll keep this list updated as I write more and will also include links to the commentary thread on Bluesky for each one that has one.

Our cast of weirdos:
Tira Masca, axe-wielding horsekin. Somewhat prone to injury and, on occasion, death. Seems weirdly fine with it. Original design adopted from @cosmindart.
Zadak Vintasal, haughty elemental mage dragonkin. Doesn't like it when you call his brat routine a "brat routine," but also possible that's part of the bit. Original design adopted from @cosmindart.
Avalon Loch, pugilist shadowkin. Hailing from the Underside, has impressive physical capabilities but lacks confidence in himself. Original design adopted from @cosmindart.
Xora Kordov, healer dragonkin. Prodigy in healing and resurrective magics, mostly due to the questionably ethical experiments she's performed in the past. Original design adopted from @sugaryrainbow.

it’s a pretty well-known phenomenon that you only get a couple seconds with your horror creature fully visible onscreen before it gets “chuckied,” a term coined by yours truly referring to the shift between the first and second acts of child’s play (1988) as the audience gets used to seeing the little chucky puppet moving around and consequently can no longer buy into the film’s serious slasher tone in the absence of the horror of the unknown. the tuunbaq in the terror and the dogomorph in alien 3 (1992) are also famous victims of chuckying—just like how lovecraftian horror usually falls flat on the screen, too much visibility and your scary, amorphous creature will become a very morphous puppet or cgi’d in picture. the easiest way to combat this is of course to keep the creature obscured for as much of the piece as possible; for instance, despite their oppressive presence throughout their respective works, the beast in over the garden wall is shown for less than six frames and the eponymous kaiju of cloverfield (2008) is never properly shown, allowing each to retain their mystery and danger. another route is to simply lean into the campiness of it, like the later child’s play franchise and alien resurrection (1997). in the case of the blob (1958) a mere satirical title sequence song is enough to completely transform a fairly standard creature feature into an enduring masterpiece of hokey fun. the third option to combat chuckying is for the horror creature to constantly transform—the thing (1982), the fly (1986), and aliens (1986) show their creatures in loving detail, but there is always something the audience hasn’t seen yet, something they don’t know to brace themselves for. it’s a fine line to walk, of course, but that’s the nature of the game when you want to turn the concept of the unknown into something knowable enough to bite you

I couldn't reblog without the tags because the context is hilarious
A Nervous Old Man (right) and his Emotional Support Violence Machine (Left)
Yes, he is more than twice her size.
Yes, he is five times her age.
Yes, he cries like a big baby until she kills Unacceptable Scary Things (earwigs) for him.

in spider-man 2 when spider-man is trying to stop the train from crashing, the first thing he tries is stopping the train with his feet pressed against the track, but all that does is break up the wood planks on the track without slowing the train down at all. when spider-man gets up to rethink his approach -- already exhausted and agonized from his fight with Doc Ock before he even blew out his knees on the tracks, dealing with his Aunt May getting evicted on top of his own poverty, having literally JUST pushed the woman he loves and who loves him away again, and now feeling the enormous pressure of the lives of everyone behind him being at stake unless he thinks fast --
an old man behind him says "You got any more bright ideas?" and there's a split second where spider-man just looks at him like this
