#WeirdHookMonth Superstition
On the back streets of Bristol it's whispered that if you create a new superstition on Friday 13th, every time someone acts like it's true they take a little of the ill fortune that was coming your way.

while i'm at it i feel like it's also worth a reminder that
queer people of color exist are valid
there are nonbinary latinx people
there are black chaotic-futch lesbians
there are bisexual indigenous people
there are muslim trans people
queer doesn't just mean blue-haired white ppl
Need coffee
So tired

#WeirdHookMonth Wealth
The last words of the Prophet Tarven were "there is but one coin of value". The Synod proclaimed coins other than the penny heretical & banned credit & barter. The war between those who build their own strength & those who hire carriers continues.
It's 6 am somewhere :)

#WeirdHookMonth Powerful Liquor
The Decoction of Ptah grants a vision of a pleasant future and how to ensure it; how pleasant a future it shows depends on the material and emotional value of the ingredients destroyed in its making.
A Nighttime of Forever by Matthew S. Cox
"Cox mixes teenage life, classic myths, and humour to create a #vampire story that is neither angst-ridden struggle nor night-wrapped superheroism."

This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang, but an untuned E-string.

#WeirdHookMonth Darkness
Two months ago, the sky darkened. Those seeking to take advantage of the shadows were met by a wave of pale and gaunt avengers. #Vampires now live openly throughout the world, helping the needy - except in the United States.

Today's tarot draw is Agent of Wires from www.neonmoontarot.com
Themes for this card include: Energy, adventure, passion, action, impulsiveness.
"You are ready to take on the world! Confidence and ambition keep you moving ahead with your goal firmly in your sight. Be careful, however, that you are not too impulsive, as you may end up acting impatiently, without thinking through the consequences."
#WeirdHookMonth Bizarre Collections
Old Man Thorpe collects the left eyes of birds. And he pays well for new ones. Last week, Mikey found a dead eagle. The left eye had burst but he needed the money, so he said he'd chance it. No one's seen Mikey since.
My eyes do not close
But my mind will not open
The sun does not help
#WeirdHookMonth Underwater
History claims the Elemental Council ruled fairly for centuries. However, the discovery of steam power has shattered the balance. Now the Water Mages claim the domains of Fire and Air.
@noelle There are a metric fuckton of people who are better #scifi and #fantasy writers than I am.
But they aren't telling the story I'm telling, and they sure as shit aren't doing it MY way. They can't. It would never even occur to them.
It doesn't matter if what you're doing has been done before and better. DO IT YOUR WAY.
Nobody else can.
