AT Lander Writes 💙💜🩷

A platter with sprigs of dried parsley on the left, and a Tupperware with ground parsley leaves on the right. Both are on a white marble countertop.

Finally processing the parsley I harvested last fall and dried in the basement. We harvested a little late so it’s pale and not the best, but it’s leagues above store bought and smells amazing.

Anyone else feel like they should have a specific superpower, but it just never works because this is real life?

I have this weird itch in my brain that if I focus hard enough I KNOW I could use telekinesis…then the rest of me remembers that physics exists and I just feel dumb.

That’s why we need to work on a comic together.

[[Isaac takes his shirt off and Marco, who’s never seen him shirtless before, spends at least a paragraph describing his buff chest and going insane.]] (Marco is trying to sound cool and sexy here but then he completely loses it at Isaac’s boobs) M (dazedly): I’ve died and gone to nipple heaven. [[He mentally kicks himself for saying something so dumb, but Isaac finds it both funny and charming. Isaac laughs [[Isaac leans forward, braced on the edge of the bed]] I: Too bad you’re dead—I was going to let you touch them. M: oh look! I’m alive! You’re better than an AED—now get down here. I (grinning as he straddles Marco): For chest compressions? M: And mouth to mouth. [[smooches. Marco gropes Isaac’s tits]]

Who else scripts out their scenes (especially dialogue- or action-heavy ones) like a play or movie before filling in the prose?

And yeah, it really does work so I don’t get caught up in crafting the perfect sentence.

An earlier point in the scene (I usually script them out like a screenplay first):

“Sexy Sexy Blah Blah Blah”

One of my drafts RN

Happy Pride! 🩷💜💙

Guess who got into Red White and Royal Blue SUPER late?

I guess I thought it would be like Twilight or 50 Shades, which captured the cultural zeitgeist without earning it…but it’s SO DAMN WELL WRITTEN I CANNOT EVEN!

BRB, listening to the audiobook again.

I’m trying to be silly and friendly 😅

I write smut for a living. Without pervs (rabbity or not) I’d be out of a job…but mostly I’m just here to appreciate the man cakes.

Username and PFP check out

(I originally wrote that as “lemons out of lemonade” so you know how well my brain’s doing this morning)

Don’t blame Crane! I suggested the “making sexy lemonade out of torn-up lemons” scenario after Crane showed me the first sketch. I didn’t know the canon, so I’ll take the heat. 😔

*Goes to jail for 10 years, comes back to find Crane is all sexy-evil and plotting to take over the fandom*

It’s April 27th in Vermont, and it’s SNOWING. I want to complain to the management. Does anyone have Boreas’ phone number?

A dusty mailbox by the side of a country road, with a massive dent in the top.

Why do people think that hitting mailboxes with a baseball bat is a fun prank? My grandma is 97, she shouldn’t have to struggle to open her mailbox every day because it’s bent out of shape!

Awwwwwwww yeaaaaaaaah! 🥰

I love this SO MUCH!

This is hilarious as all hell

A screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. A Rey Dau, or giant lightning wyvern, swoops at the camera with jaws open. Behind it is the tiny silhouette of the player character, dodging out of the way.

A screenshot from Monster Hunter Wilds. A giant, flaming monkey monster leaps at the camera out of the dark night. Its mouth is open in a roar, and it’s clearly about to ruin the player’s day. At the bottom of the screen is the butt of the player’s glaive weapon, which looks like a cotton bud.

I love the MH Wilds pause button, because now I can stop for dinner or the laundry or other important life things!

It also leads to screens like THESE:

YouTube video by Elisabeth Wheatley Every time. 🥲

My constant frustration. If I hadn’t been friends-of-friends with a literal bard, my third book would have been impossible.

Nemesis: ceiling fans.

And annoying men that he does want to sleep with.

Saejima looks like he’s about to bust Majima’s balls for real!

Is the eating free or the drawing free? 😏

Cleric: What about the guard captain?

Barbarian: He is handsome, but looks like he can only lift two oxen.

Druid: “Only?” Your standards are WAY too high.

Barb: Really?

Sorceress: No! Know your worth, girl—three oxen minimum.

Barb: I will test him. Be ready to summon oxen, Druid. I go to FLIRT!

She doesn’t want to be conquered, but to find a life partner who’s also a battle partner. Her homeland is dangerous, and if you can’t wrestle a dire bear and carry it home for supper, you’re (literally) not pulling your weight.

And if he IS stronger than her, that’s just motivation to get better.

Character Idea:

Orc barbarian. Muscles the size of your head, absolutely gorgeous, wearing a fur bikini—because she’s on a HUSBAND QUEST. As tribal champion, she won’t settle for less.

*Cracks knuckles*

B: I am ready for debutante brawl.

Cleric: Debutante BALL!

B: I know what I said.

#mwilds. I always forget to tag

A young boy dressed in winter clothes, sitting with his knees to his chest and his arms crossed on them, a sad and pensive look on his face. Caption reads: “Rove is far from home just like me…I wonder if I’ll ever see my village again.”

The same child in warm-weather clothes, with more open body language and a soft half-smile. The caption: “But after I met Alma, I wasn’t so scared anymore.”

Unpopular opinion: I’m halfway through Low Rank (taking my time to do side quests & explore) and I want a “hug Nata” button. He’s just a kid with PTSD—watching him open up in response to care & shut down in response to trauma hits me right in the feels.

A dapper warrior in a tricorn hat, spider-silk cape, doublet and armored boots. He’s standing in a desert, holding a spear twice as tall as he is.

The fashion begins…
