Hello! I'm Monday! 26, Aussie, it/its. I'm a horror novelist who likes cats and takes approximately forty years to respond to messages. My icon is by the lovely @multi-lefaiye! If you leave a tip and want a little doodle or something in return let me know... commissions are open, too! Have a nice day and I love you.
I’m open to drawing basically anything and experimenting with different styles, so feel free to send an inquiry through DMs if you’re interested and we can have a chat about what you’re after! mwah!
🧭 - what would your character do if they got lost in another dimension/world/universe/timeline? do they try to go home? do they even want to?
🏚 - what would your character do if their house was haunted? are they haunting their house? does the house reflect their state of mind, or does the house love/hate them and vice versa?
🪞 - what would your character do if faced with an evil doppelganger? would they run away, fight? is the doppelganger a reflection of their inner fears?

⚰️ - if your character lost a loved one, what would they do? would they grieve and move on? try to bring them back? cling to their remains?
🔦 - would your character go investigate that spooky noise? the local ghost story? cryptid? that rash of murders in town?
🩸 - if confronted with a monster, would they romance them, befriend them, fight them, run away, kill them? something else?
🏕 - if there was a camp or woods infamous for a string of murders or disappearances, would your character still go camping there? or are they there to investigate? why are they investigating? (documentary, former survivor, etc.)
🕰 - what would your character do if they were stuck in a time loop?
🪚 - what would happen if you put two of your characters in a saw trap maze together?

🐾 - what would your character do if they were turned into a werewolf or some other monster? would they fight it, embrace it? lose themself?
⚗️ - has your character ever been involved in mad science? how did they get involved with it? why are they doing it?
🪓 - does your character have an axe to grind? a need for bloody vengeance against someone who wronged them? why?
🐈⬛ - does your character have any familiars? are they beloved pets or just tools to be used? are they intelligent like humans? do they have their own powers?
☎️ - would your character answer the phone in a horror movie?
🍿 - if your character had to be in a horror movie, what kind would it be?
💀 - is your character afraid of dying? if so, how far would they go to cheat death?
also i know he was a joke gimmick character but Allan was genuinely the most intriguing character in that movie to me from a gender standpoint- he’s existing outside of the barbie/ken binary but not necessarily in an eye-catching or interesting way; adjacent to ken but not quite ken enough to be a ken and definitely not a barbie but ends up grouped with the barbies when the kens take over; non-conforming and subversive but not really in a cool way like weird barbie. basically the point here is that michael cera is good at portraying vaguely transgender discomfort and i wish there was more allan in that movie for my own personal sake
Hello, everyone! Lizzie wanted to bring you something super special
for today, along with some of the usual prompts. We’re going to be dropping
the Annual Writeblr Summerfest Scavenger Hunt! This is the second
year that we’ve done this
event, so we’re still working out some of the fine-tuning! Keep
your eye peeled at the end of August for a feedback board, alright?
In
the meantime, let’s get going!
At
the end of this post, there are going to be three boards.
These boards each have specific prompts or topics!
Your
job is to take those boards, and go on a hunt! Find stories,
excerpts, and posts all across the writeblr community. When you find
that post, reblog it with a nice comment and the tag
#summerfestscavenger. Then, mark your board!
Once
you complete the board, you submit it here – submissions are TURNED
ON.
As
there are three boards, there are three elements to the game!
ONE
BOARD COMPLETED: your name on the scavenger hunt hall of fame!
TWO
BOARDS COMPLETE: your name on the scavenger hunt hall of fame, and a
‘mock cover edit’ for a wip of your choice.
THREE
BOARDS COMPLETED: your name on the scavenger hunt hall of fame, a
‘mock cover edit’ for a wip of your choice, and a MASS BOOSTING
of written works from a tag of your choice!
The
goal of this game is to encourage interaction in the community, so
let’s make sure that’s exactly
what happens!
going through my dot point outline and finding things I’d forgotten about such as “Nat’s arm is chopped off by an axe and he just sticks it right back on”
You should know this was also my first thought. Like “damn that would be annoying for the ax murderer”
oh EXTREMELY annoying! but we don’t feel too bad for her because of all the gruesome medical experiments and torture 😊
Maybe you don’t. I’m an evil scientist apologist first and human second.

abled people talking about mobility aids: “oh heavens, he’ll be forced to use a cane, or a walker… or worse, a chair! anything but that!”
disabled people getting mobility aids for the first time, literally every single time: “oh my God I wish I had gotten one of these sooner, this is so much easier, now I can do more things, I think I will go for a walk around the park now that I can go that kind of distance again”
so ya boi has been super depressed, like clinically, for way longer than usual and it led to me heading down to the local psych urgent care for an evaluation today
During the eval, which was over zoom, the person assessing me asked me if I keep any “gods or ancestral gods” in the house.
I’m thinking “weird question for a psych eval, but okay sure”, and I get about two sentences into describing my weird pagan ways before she leans into her screen and says “GUNS. Do you keep any G U N S or have ACCESS TO GUNS in the house.”
so that’s probably the funniest thing that’s happened to me recently
to me big smiles are so synonymous with horror that fails to be scary that i think if you put me in a creepy room saw-style with a blood splattered smiley face on the wall i would calm down a bit. because it indicates a person trying too hard to be sickos and scary. it’s a bit of a cutiepie trait. but if it was a blood splattered frowny face i’d get scared because then i know they mean business
