"Shadow Lady?" The Soft Voice Of Her Mother Called, Warbling Through The Ocean.

"Shadow Lady?" the soft voice of her mother called, warbling through the ocean.

She smiled, zipping through the water toward the sweet song. The muscles in her powerful tail, almost four times as long as her torso, carried her through the currents at a lightning speed. The gem around her neck, connected by a thin chain to the back of her neck, fell flush against her chest as she whipped around rock formations and brushed against seagrass. In a quick motion, she darted into the clam shell leaning against a rock that made her home, doing a quick lap around her startled mom before throwing her hands up and stopping. "I'm here!"

Her mother chuckled. Pink Coral Branch was known to be a gentle giant, as tall as a hydrothermal vent but as warm as a summer ocean current. Her large hand wrapped around her tiny daughter, bringing her close to her chest. 15 feet of human, 15 feet of tail, all boundless love.

A nameless tune drifted through the water, coming from Pink Coral Branch. Shadow Lady tried to join in, though her notes were off-pitch and her inflection sloppy at best.

"One day, child, you will grow as tall as this reef, and be responsible for the life in it." Pink Coral Branch said. "Your top half will be as long as your tail, and your voice will become something very special."

Shadow Lady held up her necklace, feeling a small tug at the top of her spine. Pink Coral Branch reached for her own necklace. "Do you know what's in here?" She took it off her neck and put it in Lizzie's hands, though it was almost larger than her upper body.

"It's our voice!" She said, grinning up at her mother.

Pink Coral Branch nodded, then took the necklace and weaved it back over her head. "When the necklace grows off your neck, you must keep it safe at all times. It will be how you sing, how you beguile, and how you put on a human skin. Never lose it."

Shadow Lady clutched her necklace in both hands, close to her chest. "I will never."

----

Lizzie sighed dramatically, smacking her face into her arms. "I hate it here."

Y'all, I need help...

I need tips for writing Joel? Cause I've got a Chapter 2 lined up from Joel's perspective where he's coming back on the ship, but I don't know how to write it

If it helps, here's what I've got:

"The ship was in full disarray. The crew rushed back and forth, heaving lines and tightening the sails, throwing the sandbags overboard. Everyone was ecstatic to be returning home after three years at sea, "

Yes that's all that's in the chapter right now and yes I stopped in the middle of a sentence

PLEASE HELP I'M GOING CRAZY BUT I NEED TO FINISH THIS PART AND ESTABLISH THE JOELOTTIAN TRIO BEFORE I CAN GET BACK TO LIZZIE AND HER SHENANIGANS

i am shrunken down and brought to the gnome world and when i attempt to assimilate to their culture I use an acorn cap as a hat and they all laugh cheerfully at my silly mistake of wearing what they use as a bowl like a cap and though this is a transgression that would have humiliated me in my human life I am instead laughing alongside them at my humorous misunderstanding

Do you think Jesus ever got many carpenter requests after he started preaching? Like did anyone ever go up to him and be like; "My Lord! My Lord!" And the disciples are all: "The Master won't do anymore miracles today." But obviously Jesus is like; "Yes, my child?" And they just ask what his basic rate is to fix their door.

@baosci @whiver-wyverncat

I've got some bad news...

My computer had to reload all my Chrome tabs and apparently I hadn't saved my second chapter of Drowning via preview yet? And like an idiot I hadn't copied it into Libre Office.

So I just lost the entirety of my almost finished second chapter.

I genuinely don't know if my motivation can recover from this, cause I definitely can't remember everything I wrote, and I don't want it to be any different. I feel awful and I'm so sorry. Maybe it's not my place to be, Baosci you are amazing and I can't wait to see where the canon of this goes, but I don't know what to do now. I love y'all. Maybe I'll figure out a different way to write it.

That's all. Just wanted to let you know.

It's been said before but I'm saying it again: being mentally ill and very self aware of it is extremely annoying because it's like:

My Brain: You are worthless and everyone is making fun of you.

Me: Uhh, no? I just had an extremely minor, low stakes misunderstanding, and everyone was very cool about it. It's fine. No need to panic.

My Brain: [immediately dousing itself in cortisol] You don't get to decide that. Now I'm cancelling all of the dopamine and serotonin. You can just sit there and think about your unforgivable error.

Me: Wildly unnecessary, but ok I guess
