For #SingularityHiccup, my space crew consists of:

Seryn - The Action Hero/Captain

Leon - Gentle Giant/Lancer

Noel - The Medic/Wannabe Leader

Maddie - Comms Officer, but also a Slaying Mantis

Aksel - The Quiet One, The Heart, Gadgeteer

Nil - Mysterious Waif, Loner-Turned-Friend, Token Robot

#WritingQ #TaintedFaculties

Enaka & Theso have options. Most horror monsters that can be hurt w/ fire won't pose a huge problem. The issue for them would just be the hunt itself without getting got first. So they get a yautja or the It clown.

My #SingularityHiccup crew gets to fight HAL or Chucky.

#AwesomeCharacters

From #TaintedFaculties, Enaka chooses to wait if they really want *that* food but Theso would've made a reservation. Cavid goes elsewhere.

My #SingularityHiccup space crew fakes a reservation together.

My #ZenkoFiles elder gay MC waits but then his eldritch friends "fix" it.

#WritingPrompt Oooh, I have two WIPs right now (three but shhhh!)
Book 2 #ScentOfSmoke - "Throne" Bring Me The Horizon
Book 3 #MusicalTaste - "Blood Upon the Snow" Hozier
& unrelated sci-fi/horror space western #SingularityHiccup - "All Eyes on You" Smash Into Pieces OR "Radioactive" Imagine Dragons

#SingularityHiccup
Noel, the ship's doc, thinks he can run the ship better than Seryn. And when she lets him, he realizes how unprepared for crisis outside of his expertise he really is.

In #TaintedFaculties, Etha needed to figure out how to save the world & the price was too high.

#FebruaryWorldbuilders
Whether we're talking about my space serial, #SingularityHiccup, or #TaintedFaculties, there are both hot & cold deserts! A notable one Enaka has visited is the Qéras, a rather small, high desert (chilly, rocky, elevated) just south of the Losel Steppe.

#JanuaryWorldbuilders

All I want to work on is Book 2 of #TaintedFaculties, but I probably should put out some shorter fiction just so I can be known for more than one thing. Or at least finish writing the first season of the #SingularityHiccup, my (anti)AI & 4th dimensional alien space serial.

#WritingPrompt
In #TaintedFaculties, Enaka's dislike of Ruken is his mix of self-righteous Alcor (heron/ibis) clan attitude & how he agreed with their teacher's atrocities.

In #SingularityHiccup, Seryn's rivalry w/ Nil comes from her very strong belief in humanity over machinery/artificiality.

#dailyocs

I plan on finishing Book 2, #ScentOfSmoke, & hopefully finishing season 1 of The #SingularityHiccup so I can start posting them on my Patreon as a serial.

My OCs don't exist in a vacuum. They're all part of a story, they're always doing something. I just channel them, lol.

#WritingQ #booksky #TaintedFaculties #SingularityHiccup #ZenkoFiles

All my projects are in the SFF/light horror category w/ varying degrees of that genre mix, & although I don't cross the streams between them much, I do, technically, think of them as the same universe.

Physics being what they are.

#SingularityHiccup -> Space Hitchhiker Robot is Potentially Sentient & Now The Government is After Me & My Friends While We Figure Out Whether He's AI or "AI."

Aksel "Aks" from my space story is an absolute sweetheart, especially compared to the rest of the jaded crew of the Matchstick. He just wants everyone to get along and to tinker with the ship all day.

#QueerPrompts #SingularityHiccup

Two characters looking at the screen, one with a large knife in her hand. It's a redraw of the ending of Inglorious Bastards with my space crew.

Captain Seryn and Sec Officer Lee of the Matchstick crew aren't perfect people, but they'd rather be imperfect than part of the Pro-U torture nexus. The future was supposed to be brighter!

Welp, guess that'll be 1000 of 'em. #SingularityHiccup #WIP #SceneRedraw #InglouriousBasterds

#QueerPrompts #TaintedFaculties #SingularityHiccup

TF/ #EchoSight: Enaka & Theso could figure out most apocalypse settings & probably keep Cavid alive unless he runs off by himself.

Singularity Hiccup crew: lol. Well, okay; Seryn, Lee, & Nil have good instincts. I'm worried for Noel, Aks, & Mads.

Bonus Round:

#SingularityHiccup Cpt Seryn (MC) is the motivator & idealist, but she can get stubborn & abrasive w/ the much more conservative doc on board. Leon's a natural at diffusing tension, only resorting to physical separation when nothing else works. He's smart and safe but not a leader.

#ComJunity #WritingCommunity

In my space story #SingularityHiccup, it's Leon–brother to the snippiest crewmate, bestie of the captain, & most chill sec officer imaginable.

In #TaintedFaculties series (#EchoSight & SoS), it's *arguably* Enaka, but it's also Theso once he fully steps into the role.

#SFFChat

The two nerds in my pfp are from my awesome fantasy novel currently in the editing process called #EchoSight, and I'm actively writing a space serial called The #SingularityHiccup. Both have found family and queer rep, shapeshifters, and sassy narrators.

#WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters #SingularityHiccup

Shined, beamed...close enough, right? ^_^"

Definitely more vibes on this #WIPSnips entry (and a couple days late, shh), but I never seem to have the exact word in the prompt, lol.

#WritingCommunity #lgbtqwriters #queerwriters #SingularityHiccup

#LateNightWrite #SingularityHiccup

There's a certain resilience that comes from surviving certain hardships together. Seryn & the twins aren't too annoyed by each other's habits, & it helps that Aks is an introvert. Maddie, tho, has caused more than one dire situation. They don't talk about that.

A yellow-haired mantis girl with wings is removing herself from a dry, cracked husk of skin. The background is green with blue blood splatter.

#SingularityHiccup #DigitalArt #horror #art #VeratiArt #OC

More of my goth mantis alien, Maddie, with wings after a nice molt. I'm having way too much fun drawing her. It came out so nice!

#SFF #SingularityHiccup

I'm Verati–natural science enthusiast and chronic NASA website lurker. I have one novel waiting on a final round of editing & my current WIP is my space story about consciousness, connection, & the only/mysteriously sentient android and the crew preventing his tech's misuse.

#SFFtalk #WritingCommunity
#SingularityHiccup

I sent a few new useless commands to my arm to move. Even the ability to clench my ass cheeks would have been a minor victory.

#WritingPrompt #WritingCommunity #SingularityHiccup

Leon clicked the pen in his pocket as we stood in line for the interstellar network.

#OneLineWed #WritingCommunity #SingularityHiccup #lgbtqwriters

“Seriously, he acts just like a person. I’ve never seen V.I. or machine learning act like this. Who the hell *built* him?”

#MelsNoWriMo #SingularityHiccup #WritingCommunity

Mine are almost all custom, though I do sometimes look for photo refs of what I'm already seeing in my head. Nil the android is still changing a bit, but Aks has taken a while to draw bc his exo-armor and body type aren't my usual.

#MelsNoWriMo #WritingCommunity #SingularityHiccup

Friendship is all over the place on the Matchstick, which makes this question difficult. Seryn, Leon, Noel, Aksel, Maddie, & Nil have unique relationships w/each other. The story is about consciousness, community & tech–(no it's def Seryn & Leon.)

If you see this, post something pink 🩷
