1996 Fun fact, my pure, innocent kid brain thought the shells in his pocket were seashells. www.youtube.com/watch?v=my6b...

I will defend this franchise to my last breath

#WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #WritingPrompts Singularity is by far the most secretive and mysterious. Aside from controlling a big chunk of the galaxy's illegal slave trade, very little is known about them or the unnatural powers they're said to possess. They don't leave survivors to talk. 💀

#WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #WritingPrompts Many places in the galaxy, criminal organizations are the true wielders of power. In the story though, they're mostly set dressing. Sed knows better than to get too involved with them, from hard-earned experience.

#WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #WritingPrompts Very. 😔 After losing his parents at the age of five, Sed quickly had to learn to survive on the treacherous undercity streets.

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness.

#QueerPrompts #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity Sed would be simultaneously so sick and panicked 😭😭😭

#WritingCommunity Character creation and development is where I feel like I really excel, making them complex and relatable, even the total bastards among them. 😸

RT this with your home river 🏞 James River in Richmond VA I grew up kayaking and rafting these waters 😸

#OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY Sed tolerates kids when he must, but it's not an experience he enjoys. Traveling around the galaxy with a curious, hyper twelve year old was nearly the end of him. Raising kids would definitely do him in.

Bread really is the worst food How do you get so moldy sealed in my pantry?

Think of the most random of random movie you can possibly think of. Got one? Now locate and post a GIF or vid from it. 🎥⁉️❤️ youtu.be/fWRN2OUfg0o?...

Bumping this up since I've added a bunch of new artists! I'm also locking the thread since my notifs need a nap, but I'll do an artshare again in a few weeks. :3 Thank you so much to everyone who joined in and shared their adorable art~

Share someone who looks stylish wearing boots

#JanuaryWorldbuilders #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity The starlanes that (almost) everyone uses to travel across the galaxy are owned by giant corporations, and the ensuing corruption creates a unique problem. Slavery for example is very illegal, but some groups bribe their way past inspections.

#AwesomeCharacters #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity I've actually established Sed's entire life story, but little of it ends up on the page. His past had a profound impact on who is is today. Also I just love giving all my characters complex and often traumatic backstories.

So much new #StarWars material lately ✨️

Star Wars original trilogy as a kid, my first introduction to the franchise 😸 That box set where the first chunk of every tape was behind the scenes of George Lucas explaining why he changed a bunch of stuff

#DailyOCs #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters Sed would wear no shoes at all times if he could. Some places though, like the dirty, trash-laden streets of his hometown, bare footpaws are far from ideal. Only when he absolutely must, sandals are his preferred option.

[hits funny bone really hard] [kicks offending object even harder] Replacing short term pain with long term pain 👍 #LifeHacks

#DailyOCs #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters Alone aboard his starship amidst the vast emptiness of space is where Sed feels most at home. 🚀

#JanuaryWorldbuilders #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity 9: MC's position in society When he was a homeless kid, Sed was at the very bottom of the social tier. Now though, he sits in a nebulous area, earning both respect and disdain. Such is the life of a bounty hunter.

New #JujutsuKaisen today!!

#DailyOCs #WritingCommunity #QueerWriters When they were dating, Tua never approved of the dodgy company Sed kept, and it often erupted into fights, including their last. While they had a lot in common, they came from very different backgrounds, and their differences eventually pushed them apart. 😔

#QueerPrompts #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity 8. How did your characters meet? Bounty hunters Sed and Fel'dryn were once partnered together for a job because of their particular talents. The dislike they initially felt for each other quickly faded, and they remain close friends to this day. 🥰

#WritingCommunity #QueerWriters #JanuaryWorldbuilders 8: Social classes in your world The social classes in Sed’s hometown, Celdarian Prime, are literally divided, the shiny modern capital built directly over the old. Lots of lower class beings can go their whole lives never seeing the real sun. 😔

#WritingInJanuary 7. Wednesday Setting: Give a nature setting that is visually stimulating. There actually isn't an immersive nature setting yet in Ray Tracer, as most of the story is urban, but that will change next arc as Sed and his companion travel across an icy world in search of a bounty.

Since coldness and black metal go hand in hand, I was curious what kind of stuff comes out of the coldest city in the world, Yakutsk, Russia. I was not disappointed. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q_7...

#JanuaryWorldbuilders #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity The world Sed on which has currently found himself draws inspiration from the bike gangs in Akira, one of my all-time favorite films. 😸

#WritingCommunity #WritingInJanuary #QueerWriters 6. Fill in the gap: "You'll love my book because ___" It contains snarky alien gays. 👽

#JanuaryWorldbuilders #QueerWriters #WritingCommunity Sed is no corporate stooge by any means, but the system of privately controlled starways sure is convenient and worth the toll levied at every jump point. To travel the galaxy without them is just asking for all manner of disaster.

Aware of my struggles keeping plants alive, my mom got me some that can't be killed 🥰

Rurouni Kenshin is dear to my heart, but the author is the absolute worst kind of person. I don't generally support piracy but in this case I'm very okay with not giving him my money.

Look what just popped up in my recommendations! youtu.be/Z1ZELHG08vs?...
