Pt360 Marvin added, “One of the buffalo calves has offered himself up to provide you with food & a robe. See why the tipi’s #canvas? He’ll wake you up at dawn when he reconstitutes himself each day, but I presume that you are an early riser as an elder . . . I mean YOUNG elder, yes? .” #WIPSnips

Post a vampire who isn’t Dracula.

Pt359 Two white weasels, out of place in this green, ran past her, laughing. One called out to her, “You’ll love the #canvas tipi we all prepared for you!” Oeškeso said, “You’ll want to #adorn it, so we got you beading supplies, too!” Apparently, animals talking here was normal. #vss365 #WIPSnips

"They carried her body out, just like by her limbs, they didn’t even have a stretcher," a witness says. "She was carried out like a sack of potatoes."

It didn’t matter how organised the patrols were, they needed something more. Something undefinable. It wasn’t enough to fly in formation and attack together. They needed grace, rhythm. To fly like the notes of a #symphony. Dylan needed them to to take that cacophony & make fighting beauty. #vss365

#vss365 watch that clockwork & fall bells ring like a #symphony till I throw Baby Ben 'gainst th wall SNOOZE is news possibly but we're so fer back in the woods we don't get the Opry till Tuesdie along with a few dry goods keeps us from bein' bougie that's bourgeoisie don't let me lose ye

As someone one degree from Kevin Bacon, I am a little shook.

Thanks @dragonslayerma.bsky.social for our first 2026 #promptcombo. My #nightfall poem is steeped in ancient Turkish traditions, superstitions and folklore. Happy new year to all. #poetry #poems

Ahhh. I see you and feel seen, @lindseybot3k.bsky.social.

#vss365 #2wordprompt I stooped And touched The outline Of feathers In the snow As if I might #consume The creatures battle A forest angel's #war Is seldom won Easily You declared It #balderdash And swept away The tracks With your pole But I kept Walking Hoping to find A sign A sigil A warning

Hey you! Running ‘round this lonely planet Hey you, of free-wheely limbs— the #audacious #oddball — bouncing on a sandpit that caves in Yes you—who escaped the city’s noise Did you quiet the din within? #vss365 #inkmine #Oulens #poetrycommunity #BlueskyPoetry #writingcommunity #poetry

snow piles and clings rivers crust blustergusts of wind howl through then, calm the sun reminds it is Still There waiting behind clouds heavy with ice the trees sleep soothed by its subtle touch in the night of the year it is time to rest listen to the quiet #winterscape #scape #ImageAndVerse

Pt356 “You’re certainly an #oddball kind of Sky Woman,” said Marvin, “not even pregnant. Of what #benefit are you to our world anyway? Sky Women are generally pregnant in our oral tradition, you know.” Meona’hane’e was flabbergasted. “Your world? Our oral tradition?” #vss365 #WIPSnips

Pt355 This was too much. HER DOG TALKING WAS TOOOO MUUUCH! Meona’hane’e wanted to wake up,. She wanted to go #home. Unfortunately, she was #clueless as to how to do any of this. Oeškeso curled up in her lap the way he did the first time he was a puppy & sighed. She frustrated him. #vss365 #WIPSnips

You ever think about how the Roman Senate kept meeting centuries into the reigns of emperors. Hanging out, shooting the shit, giving speeches, and play-acting that their positions of privilege remained positions of power.

Hullo #vss365 and to #balderdash

#WIPSnips - Demon King Daughter - Some worldbuilding and one of the early moments where Masuyo begins to realize her baby is not quite normal. This is very early in the story, and is still setting up. #writesky #writingcommunity #fantasy #yafiction #demon #sapphic -Print/eBook/KU: a.co/d/9WbG4e5

His face turned grey. “What.. is this?” “Abstraction: Nude study #5, professor.” “Mr. Creech, you… degenerate,” he boomed. “This is your Advanced Cadaver Embalming Technology practicum, not some art class for freaks!” McMasters shook: Whe… where are your other “studies”? #vss365 #abstraction

When the talks broke down again, one delegate calling the entire process #balderdash and fantasy, Dylan had just about given up and only a steady hand from one of his own delegates stopped him from concluding the talks at the point of his gun. They had to make this work. One way or another. #vss365

Pt354 “In fact, it’s the first time you have ever been fully AWAKE. #Calm down. I’ve never heard such #balderdash in my life, & I’m even older than your entire civilization, born even before Motsé'eóeve!” Oeškeso whimpered at Meona’hane’e. “He’s telling the truth,” the pup quipped. #vss365 #WIPSnips

Soothed pain is still pain, still hurts. #7SyllableSentence #sooth #AmWriting #WritingCommunity

Skies chimed With them, the clouds rhymed Taking #abstraction out-into my mind Runaway train In droplets of rain rain Waking in a daydream Veins fiery hotter than an engine Full of steam, steam Don’t try hold me back Now on the right track Coz the skies chimed #vss365

#vss365 Absalted Dragged through thorned scrub, hooves sparking verbs, I stake a hide, flooding the air with mustard-scent. Abstr- action breaks, a salt-antlered thing, snorting throat-snarled colours. I blood it. The canvas broods, ritual holds until my shaking stops. #abstraction

Time put a spell on us we aged into people who couldn't see eye to eye My hands became too big for yours & I outgrew the shape you molded for me When you closed your eyes & welcomed the #abstraction we feared I hope you knew I love you & these hands I have will always reach for you #vss365

#BornBattleReady you can hear desperation in a person's talk see it in their walk watch em try to wash it off of their hands til they bleed on permanent vacation never balk there's beauty in sugar cane, even the stalk be sweet like they need they offer an invitation to give em a smile

Pt 353 And then she heard Marvin again. “We need to bring this silly #abstraction to #resolution, Earthling.” “I’ll think what I want in my own dream, you pompous twit!” she yelled back. “YOU,” he said firmly, stepping into the clearing she was in, “are NOT dreaming.” #vss365 #WIPSnips

Side-by-side, Rory and Katie shared their #delight at the New Year by getting right into a big session. On the game, that is. They didn’t need to be at his sister’s until late afternoon, so they had a good few hours to really grind through a co-op dungeon. This was how to start the year! #vss365

Rory knew full well that he was obsessed. You don’t play a game, think about a game and #dream about a game as much as he did and not be obsessed. But he never neglected Katie and gave her all the attention she so thoroughly deserved. Other people, perhaps, not nearly as much as he should. #vss365

It could only be a #dream. Or, at least that was how it felt right now to Dylan. The survival. The victory against an Enemy that never seemed to tire. But Dylan only dreamed about one thing. Flying in Magpie. His old life back. The freedom of the skies and the never-ending black. #vss365

I just wrote this in reply to someone else, but I feel the need to share it: A #dream is only a thought given freedom. #vss365

Dylan took Magpie out again, performing the combat air patrol alone. He needed to relax, as much as anyone could relax under the circumstances, and to #delight in the simple act of flying. The negotiations were still ongoing. Too much talk, not enough doing and it had started to grate. #vss365

You should listen to Trudell philosophize in this. Listen to it on whatever app you want, but listen.

We #delight in your destruction, Henderson, all your works undone--your family scattered, your businesses bankrupted, you in financial oblivion For too long you lorded over the poor, evaded tax, cheated partners, and conned investors Now you equal us #vss365 #WritingCommunity #ReaderSky #BookSky

#vss365 At first, she received each new day with #delight. Saw it as a chance to perfect and undo the mistakes and missed opportunities of the last. To help others and find redemption. Though reliving the same day wore everyone down at some point. Ground them down to their knees in despair...

#Delight I adore how it can't be forced how sometimes we clear the path but often it startles us in our mundanity, shopping maybe, an infant's wide, trusting eyes catch ours unaware and we remember #vss365

#vss365 #dream He dreams about it every night. An old abandoned house; the corridors always changing every time he leaves a room; every room full of old VHS videotapes and amongst them, one single tape with his name on. Putting it into a machine he presses play…and that’s when he always wakes up.

#vss365 Well! I never! You are engaging in wanton #delight! And you are doing so in a way that shows a complete disregard for common decency!
