Thank you. I had to condense to make 280 characters.
βYouβre gettinβ closer to making sense, but I ainβt buying it. Youβre just looking for the next big fight, am I right? Yeah, yeah, Iβm right. Iβm seeing right through you, buddy, and the little fantasies going on in your head. Is there some kinda joy youβre getting out of this now? Killing all those undead? All those ... humans. You been really clear on how you feel about all of us, and I gotta know if your morals are wavering there. I do this because I wanna live, Rac, how many more times I gotta say that to you before you start to understand?β βI seek peace as I always have and always will. If violence is the road, so be it.β

No fucking investigation is needed. We did it. We know exactly where every tomahawk is going when it is fired. What they are doing is a goddamn cover-up.
He does not know what 'no quarter' actually means.

[from Demented and Desired]
My nature is something Iβve spent my entire existence fighting against, heβd told me in the bakery. Fighting the power within him. Fighting the harm he feared he might cause. Not again. What demons did Damien still carry, never forgetting, never forgiving? I did want to pity him. But he didnβt want pity. Pity doesnβt help someone heal from trauma. It weakens agency. And for Damien, it would undermine his immense inner strength. The strength heβd needed to just survive. How could someone like Damienβ¦ truly heal?
Sharing a bit of of my #hopepunk novel for today's #WIPSnips, "fight."
We get more of Damien's backstory today.

βNever met the guy, but I figure if you strap enough explosives to hubris, thereβs bound to be some splatter. Least the blast took him quick. When the real fight starts, folks wonβt drop easy. Private Tator can testify to that.β #WIPSnips

#WIPSnips - "Fight"
I'm still quite fond of this introduction to Kirin, a gladiator and a slave from the Rome-inspired nation in The Wings of Ashtaroth!
This is a very fight-heavy chapter and I thought about sharing something more action-y, but settled on this, as I think it shows Kirin's voice.
I've been stumped by the snips this week, but this is one that occurs often in my WIP. #WriteSky #WIPSnips

Francis gets frustrated with schoolwork and overdoes piano/fingering exercises as an outlet of his frustration. But it causes him to hurt his hands playing too much

A tour where they just play old songs leads to an internal argument for Sigma S Star: is finding new meaning in the classics enough, or do they need fresh material to stay a valid musical force?

Lots of text in this one, sorry. From a fantasy WIP currently called Hearth Mine. Drip stole something from Gal and ran away. Gal sent his hounds to find him.
Some shimmying as escape method from the MC of my #WIP. #amwriting #WIPSnips #WriteSky #writingcommunity
She looks at me, her lips slightly parted. Iβve never been more aware of a singular point in time; where before is the past and the now changes the future forever.
βAre you a good kisser?β
I donβt put up a fight. I pour my soul into it while time stops for me. She damn sure was. #WIPSnips

I knew when we adopted kittens that we'd have to baby/kitten-proof the house. I did not know that a few months later we'd have to panther-proof the house.
More of this, please.
I have to know what this is, what it means.
βWe should talk while Iβm still human. Iβm about to go feral.β
She undoes the button on her jeans. She pulls down the zipper & with two shimmies the pants fall from her hips to the floor. I suppose I can wait till later to find out what it means. #WIPSnips
