Hi! Time for the (first?) interlude. Rated mature for sexual references. Enjoy!

INTERLUDE

“And model, please.”
Sakura raises her gaze from her phone and resumes her pose, valiantly staring out the window. Once again, I can perceive a twinge of orange annoyance among the gray...
Hey! Told you we'd be slowing down. Although this time it's more because I've been distracted by other projects and also decided to get a bit of a backlog before posting.
This chapter marks the end of the first arc of the story. There are three in total (at least, I have planned for three)...
Hey there! Here for Catnip. I read the 2025 drabbles, and here are my thoughts:
Wonder Brick:
- Works well with its setup and payoff; only problem I had was the "green box within a black framing featured prominently in the upper middle", as that did not give me the image of a screen but rather...
Voted for weird Pokémon lore, hoping it wins. It feels like it allows for many different kinds of stories, which is accessible, while still having a clear metric to judge how well the theme was fulfilled.
Hi everyone! Been a bit. I've had to do some serious outlining for this story, and while it wasn't easy, I think I do have something to go off of now. Thanks to @NebulaDreams for betareading this chapter.
Content warnings for homophobia (including slurs), sexual themes and violence. Enjoy!

"What, over already?" Red said, scratching his neck. "I was having such a fun time killing people. Even if I don't usually prefer to do it by making them explode."
[Come on, Red. Be a good sport.]
He turned to Odile with a heavy sigh. "Fine, fine. Thank you, Odile, for this game. It wasn't...
Hiiii. This one has the dream sequence from the old one swapped in for another, and more stuff related to Michi tweaked. Otherwise it's pretty much the same as the old one, I think.
I swear I'm gonna slow down with these once I start getting into the stuff that's actually seen major changes...
I'm on a roll! Here's Chapter Three, another chapter with little changed. Still bettered, though.
Content warnings include talk of mental illness, such as depression, but nothing else. Rating is teen.

Since my last journal entry, I have visited...
Hi again! The second chapter ended up having very little about it changed, so that's why I'm able to post it this quickly. The biggest change is the removal of the beginning of the Miriam plot, since I've decided not to include it in the reboot.
No particular content warnings outside references...
Red looked disconcerted for the briefest moment, but then covered it up with a smirk.
"Damn. Didn't know you wanted the touch of my balls that badly," he said, though he said it quietly.
[Thank you! Although being closer to 4 than 400 still leaves you at a maximum of 202 IQ...]
[Yeah, hard...
Hi everyone, Canis here. I have some bad news and good news. Bad news is that I'm retiring this thread. Good news is that it's because I'm rebooting this story! Find the new thread here. I swear it'll be a much better version and one I'll actually complete.
Thank you!
Threadmarks: Author's Notes & Chapter One - Confession
Oookay, so, what's the deal? A new thread for The Bringer? What am I, rebooting it?
Well, yeah.
Let me explain my reasons inside this spoiler so that the people who are just newly coming into this don't have to read (as big of) a wall of text:
So, here we are. I'm going to be posting a...
"Greetings!" Red called out, with a grin, opening his arms wide. "I am Red, High Priest of HELIX and soon-to-be king of reality. The reason for my gracing you with my presence is that I was informed there would be people to kill." His grin morphed into a minor scowl. "Of course, I agreed to this...
Hey there! This is a short horror story that I started writing a bit ago and have now edited to a finalized (for now) state. Thanks to @NebulaDreams for betareading!
As a horror story and something written by me, there are naturally going to be content warnings. They are the following:
Blood...
Alright! Welcome to the last planned part of this ramble. I may add something else in supplementary parts later if it comes to me and feels worthwhile to say, but I won't promise anything.
This is the part where we start using what we've learned before to make our own Pokémon-like monsters. I...
Glad you're enjoying the posts!
Legendary design is kind of something that I've not fully been able to wrap my head around (just where do they come up with the ideas for all those details?), so I'm not sure if I'll be able to say a lot about it. I'll definitely be thinking about it more now...
Hey again! Let's continue from where we left off.
So, in Part 1, I talked a bit about colors and shapes (and silhouettes, which are basically just combinations of shapes). In this part, we'll dive deeper into principles of character design revolving around colors and shapes, and use existing...
