Obito and Daisuke would love the internet. Reddit arguments! Rabbit holes! Horror stories and conspiracy theories! Information at the drop of a hat! It'd also give Daisuke that much more to yap at Obito about, which would make Obito very happy 🥰

! This is kind of like something I talked about with @kiraofthewind.com after she got done beta-ing Talismans for me (she's too good to me 😩). I don't really think there's a specific moment or thing with Daisuke or Obito. They know they speak the same "language" and things kinda develop from there 🤷🏻‍♀️

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (having an actual number in there counts, right?)

While horses, carts, and carriages are all available, Daisuke and Obito usually just walk. It's less fuss if they decide to stay at an inn, fewer mouths to feed on the way, and generally more private (preferred for both professional and less wholesome reasons 🤭)

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (devote as a synonym and...hoboy)

I associate Daisuke with purple, blue, and black, and Obito with green, red, and gold. Their "field"/informal uniforms are gray with brownish trousers and a blue (Daisuke) or red (Obito) undershirt with a matching cloth belt. Formal uniforms are all black, and they get the hanfu when they rank up

My urban fantasy thriller series opener WERECATS EMERGENT is being featured as part of a Virtual Book Fair going on this weekend! 🥳🎉🎉🎉 Together with an author livestream coming up Cyber Monday night. periapsispress.com/virtual-book...

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (this was the best I could do, sorry 😂 At least it's short today!)

Daisuke always carries his tanto, some tiny bottles of poison, and a few coins. Obito always carries his tanto, kyoketsu-shoge, journal, and money. Mostly, this is to prepare for combat situations, but some of it is also because they just kinda forget when they have the dangerous stuff on them 😅🤣

Stay warm, friends. We're in for a fun weekend here in the U.P. 🫡

Oh gods 🤦🏻‍♀️ "Deception! Are these operatives planning a coup?" (True, but no one needs to know) "Danger! Poisons master found developing secret new poison!" (Daisuke never learns 🙄) "Exposed! Operatives entangled in occult practices against the Empire!" (Kinda true? But slightly misleading 🤣)

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (Daisuke impedes traffic and Obito’s ability to think)

Hello, friends. We are Hook & Quill Press, an indie press representing a collective of indie authors, unabashedly authentic and celebrating our unique selves. We believe in uplifting writers, investing in our community, and working to help each other accomplish our goals.

Daisuke likes the convenience of being in a city, but he also enjoys spending time outside. Obito likes city life, too, but he's not as much of a fan of the outdoors as Daisuke is 😅 They travel a lot between books 2 and 4, though, so neither complains much unless it's too hot (above 65F)

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Dance of Demons (organization instead of system. This one was so tricky I had to go back to book 1 💀)

There's tension between Emperor Akuwara and the High Priestess, Akuwara and Yujin, and Yujin and Ewah. Then Lady Shadow’s relationship with Kanashimi. Things with Akuwara, Yujin, the Priestess, and Ewah are more politically inclined, while Lady Shadow’s contribute to what the main boys need to do

Daisuke's hair is long-ish (around the shoulder blades), black, and silky. He usually keeps it in a ponytail, but also likes half styles. He rarely lets it hang free if he's out and about. Obito's hair is less complicated lol. It's a deep brown, soft, shoulder-length, and kind of choppy. 🧵?

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood ("globe" is the closest thing I have even though it's not really a good substitute in this case 😅)

If it's just the main two idiots, Obito can convince Daisuke to push through it and finish the project with him. If they’re with more people, it's probably gonna be a very unamused Shinta doing the work while Daisuke hides, Obito goes to find him, and Junpei tries wrangling both of them

Poor Obito doesn't deserve this slander (yes he does 💀) #writingcommunity

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Somewhere between book 3 and book 4. I'm not sure yet, but 🥰🥰🤭

Huh. Now that I think about it, neither of them like being touched all that much. I thought it was just Obito, but...Daisuke doesn't really enjoy it, either. He'll touch OTHER people for psychological reasons, though. Granted, if they’re touching each other. Well. That's a very different story 💀

If Daisuke's busy, he lets it ring. If he’s bored (gods help us all), he'll pick it up even if it's a telemarketer. He can mess with them 😅 Obito just lets it ring. If he doesn't have the number saved　, he doesn't know them. If he doesn't know them, they shouldn't be calling 💀

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (it's not easy meeting your boyfriend's family!)

Daisuke's bringing wine. He can't be trusted in the kitchen with more than a couple of things 💀 Obito's probably just gonna try to get away with doing the same (wasn't there an "and" between their names?), but Daisuke might bully him into bringing steamed buns 😅🤣

Top tier cover art here 💀

This is a sign to read this book 🤭

#QueerBooks #BookSky #ReadSky Hey, fantasy lovers! I'm still looking for a few street team members for my upcoming new adult release, TALISMANS OF SIN (4/21/2026). Follow the linktree in my bio or below for complete info, and here's a quick rundown! 🧵 linktr.ee/5FeetofRedFury

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (does "specialize" count? 😅)

Daisuke and Obito are human, but I think they both forget they're mortal, especially Daisuke 😅 They frequently interact with dragon demons, and occasionally, Daisuke meets up with a wolf spirit 🥰

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Dance of Demons (I just really like the scene I pulled this from 😅)

I'd probably ask Sonika in MOST situations lol. She's level-headed, empathetic, and knows a lot about medicine and DIY projects. And she won't suggest stabbing first. Usually.

Made myself sad thinking about a book 3 scene. There's my writer angst for the day 💀 #writingcommunity #writesky

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (not retrograde specifically, but all this moving back counts, right?

Shinta is another spy who is sometimes forced into dealing with ObiDai. He's pretty calm, but has limited patience for their nonsense, bickering, and schemes. He disagrees with their methods 90% of the time. He definitely has a point. They can go a bit too far and/or cause too many problems 😅

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (just a couple of schemers scheming)

Here are the #WIPSnips words for next week, November 17th through November 23rd. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

Daisuke loves secrets! He has a few, both of his own and other people's, but he only trusts Obito with his. He's good at keeping them, but if he doesn't like you, he'll spill if a good opportunity arises. If someone's keeping one from him, he'll pursue it if he thinks there's potential value in it

Not as great as I would've hoped tbh. Getting book 2 ready for the editor took...a lot. That book was a lot. But! Things are getting worked out, so going forward should be a bit easier. I outlined some, but those plans changed (86 politics heavy opening 😩). I'm not a plotter anyway 😅 #Writevember

#WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingprompt Duels of Blood (and yes, Daisuke did insist on the dramatic entrance)

Daisuke's pretty easy. Secrets, food, white leaf (pot, basically), and cigarettes can work well 😅 Obito's less easy. He can also be tempted with food, but secrets and the promise that you'll owe him later work best 💀 They're helpless against each other when certain other things are on the table 🤭

Good question 🤔 I wanna say it's Daisuke, but just as many people seem to like Obito. Help a writer out? #dailyocs #WriteSky

Interior art things are happening 🤭 #ArtSky #BookSky
