Bad’s POV
I heard a noise coming from the… ground? I start digging down, looking around for the source of the noise. Thunk, I hear when I hit something hard. Huh sounds like stone. I bring out my pickaxe and cautiously mine the area. I peek my head down and look around, it is a huge empty room. Wait, it’s not empty. There is something red near the center of the room.
“Hello? Is there someone here?” I cautiously say, voice quivering slightly.

I jump hearing a disoriented voice.
"Umm, I’m BadBoyHalo but people just call me Bad… Who are you?” I ask, lowering myself onto the floor from the roof. Once I get on the floor, I settle myself in a sitting position.
“W̶̼̗̪̼̩̾͋̚e̷̼̓̔͐̾l̴̛͚̞̜͒ĺ̴͙̋̂̊ ̷̢̙̩̇̄̀i̷̩͌͜͠ẗ̷͙ ̴̭͇̙̹̞̀î̸̢̆͋̚s̷͖̺̀̓͆͠ ̶̹̳̈́́̓̇͝n̵͉͔͆̊o̷̗͓͇͋̅̾t̵̡̮̙̾̑̚̕ ̴̟̤̲̻̅̌̌m̴͙̦͚͆̔ḛ̶̼͈̐̏ ̶̥͗͆̎̂͊t̸̙͇̣̽h̸̛͉̦̞̏̒͊͝a̸̲̫͛̈̑͒̍ţ̸̤̭̀̄̒ ̴̹̠̮͊i̴̢̢̻̤͂ͅş̷͛͋͐̈́̈́ ̴̠̫̰͂̒͘͜i̵̘̞̩͐̈m̵̭̞͓̆̑̍͋̅p̶̢͉̲̌̒͌̋ò̶̖̭̿̕͜r̷̢̬̉̀͠ť̵̮̞͌͗̐͂ḁ̴̺̄n̵̫̒̊̾͒t̴̰̥͕͘,̶̗̠̾ ̷̧̈́î̶͎̊̾͋ͅt̷̫́̾͐̀͘ ̷̛̗̼̒͘͝i̵̲͉̝̾́̓̇̀s̶͉̖͎̫͋ ̶̠̝̲̗̼͊w̶̭͊̚ĥ̴̨̭̤͒ͅȯ̸̰͖̈́̊ ̸̣̠̝̼̼͛͌̌̇̾I̴̛̜̮̽̓̓́ ̵̨̠̀c̵̝͆ǎ̴͕̱̘̩̅r̵̫̳̻̯̺̍̈́̃́͘r̶̛͔̦͊͝ỹ̷̡̫̬̥͋̑́̎.̵̳͊̾"
The ominous voice explains. When I realize what it said I tilt my head to the side, confused.
"What do you mean, who you carry?” I ask perplexed.
“Ţ̵̙̈̆̑͘͠h̶̙̯̜̳͐̍̾͘è̸̺̠̮͔͐̄́̈y̴͔͌̈ ̸̮̱̖̣͇̈́͑ĺ̷̛̰̬̼̽̓͝i̴̼̱̓v̷̹͗͗̀͒̽͜ḙ̶̘̻͔͇̈́̀̑̋͘ ̶̘͍̰͕͔́̈͛̇ḯ̵͓̫n̷͖̼͕̭̋̀ ̶̗͓̞͎̀m̴̯̺̗̒̓͌͌̍ȩ̴̦̪̐͌̇͐͘ ̸̯̦͐ͅù̸̡̡͎̥͎͊̀ņ̴̦͂̓t̸͈̠̠̺͈̋̈́̑̀̚i̸̝̫͈͙̍͜l̵͚̈́͛͛ ̸̯̮̬͍̋̀ȋ̴̯͎̬̈́͝t̷̮͎̟͑̊ ̷͉̑͌i̸̠͆s̷̠̪̖͍̘̄͌ ̵̪̾͑t̴̥͂͘͝î̴̢́͆̆̂m̴͔̐̈́̆͊͜é̵̹̗͒͌,” it says.
I take a closer look at it, ohhh it’s an egg. That makes more sense.
“Well, do you need anything until it’s time?” I say sensing a strong relationship to the egg.

Nodding in understanding, noticing how cramped the roots are.
“Of course, I might need to tell others so they help. Is that alright?” I question.

Nodding, I stand up and collect my materials. Realizing the height of the ceiling and how far I had fallen. I start devising a plan to get myself out of the hole. Until I feel something lift me, looking around I see that it is the egg’s vines. Smiling gratefully at the egg, “Thank you for helping me.” I say.

Skeppy’s POV
Bad had been talking about this thing he found the other day almost obsessively. He is taking Puffy, Ant, and me to see it today.
“Areee were there’s yetttt,
” I whine. Looking around we are in a jungle, there are trees and bugs everywhere.
“Almost just over here,” Bad says.
“How did you even find this place?” Puffy asks, curious about the place.
“Yeah, how did you find it,” Ant asks skeptically.
“That doesn’t matter, anyway here we are!” Bad says, pointing down.
“That’s a hole,” I say.
“I know that, it’s under here.”
“How do we get down there, you know some of us aren’t giants.”
“Just trust them they will help you down,” Bad says jumping down. “Come on guys don’t take all day!” He yells up at us, who might I add are still shocked.
“Well. YOLO!” Ant yells and jumps down. Puffy makes a yipping sound while jumping down.
“Seriously they left me alone, in this economy.” I joke before falling back into the hole. I feel something catch me before I hit the ground. Taking a closer look it looks like red vines. Oh, this is the thing Bad was talking about, and I thought he was delusional. As the vines lower me down, I take a look around. It is very dark and musty down here. My nose scrunching.
“W̷̙̐̑̄ẹ̴̏͌̽ľ̵̝̦̈́͝c̸͚̟̘̱̘̈́̍̕͘o̸͈̤̺̅̐̚m̵̢͈͔͇̌͂̑̈́͝ͅe̴̥͉̐́͛͛̾ ̷̭̉͑͋̋̕b̷̧̜̒a̷̬͈̫̓̃́͘c̶̟̺͌̐͜͝k̵̺͒̂̾͠."
A horrifying and scratchy voice says.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!” I scream.
“LANGUAGE!!!” Bad yells, correcting me.
“D̵̛̘̜̋̃ǫ̷̊ṋ̴̨̳̦͒̄̐̇͑͜'̷̮̖̳͖́̃͐̽͜t̶̨̩̰̕ ̶͍̌̔̆͂w̸͔͇̭͙͆̈́̈́̂͠ö̷̡̼́̈́ͅͅr̵̺̹̩̦͂́̓͒r̸̨͉̪̱̘̃͊̇͂̒ȳ̵͓̯͈͒̽͌͠ ̶̢̱͂̃̓ḿ̴̺̐̀y̷̨̼̟̌͂͛̿ ̶̹͌͂ͅc̵̼̗͑̀́͠ḧ̷̛͉̝̠͖̬́̕̕i̴̙̘̔͆̄͑̅l̸̗̬̣̰̳̀͑͑͊͘d̵̩̙̼͉̑̎̓̉.̶̧̭̗̌̍͗ ̸͓̰̻͌́̐̕T̵̠̊̿̌̚h̴̬̥͈̄͜ḯ̸̡͉̗͖͙̂̎̔̀s̸̢̩̣̏̐̾͜ ̵̻͙͗̓́̏̕ȉ̵̙̝́̉͘͝s̴̪̻͂̀͊̚ ̷͇͙̳͕͕̐͒a̷̠͓͕͋̿̕ ̸͖̗͖̤̖̈́ń̵̟̲̫̳͜o̴̰͎̦̐r̴̢̮̂̃͝m̶̭̰̌̕ą̸̢͈͔͌͜l̴͍̲̃̾̚ ̵͈̗̼̗̀̈̕ŗ̵͕̗̪̝̚͘e̵̲̫̭̩̮͑̃̇͐̈́â̷̤̈́͛̊c̵̻̭̥̎͂͂t̷͙̲̮͆ì̶̼̠̃͜ö̶̫̱́͂ñ̶̥̘̭̣̩̄”
“I guess, he was still being rude to you though,” Bad grumbles, the egg’s laughing reverberating around the cavern.
“Is this what you were talking about, you said you needed help though?” Puffy says.
“Yes, they are uncomfortable in this tight space. So I offered to help, and I am asking you to help!” Bad says, grinning wide, clapping his hands together.
“I mean, sure we are already out here,” Ant says, shrugging.
“Yeah, I’ll help too!” Puffy chimes in, putting her hair up in a ponytail.
“I will be moral support!” I declare.
“Skeppy seriously.” Bad disappointedly says.
“Fine but only for a little, I’m a busy man!” I whine, grabbing my shovel and pickaxe.
We all start to get to work.

Thank you for reading, if you have a request don’t be afraid to ask me. I will be posting the rules for requests later
Hello angels,
So, yes. I have been gone for so long, I cannot even remember the date of the post before this one. But, either way, I feel like I ought to actually apologize (to those who really give a damn, I guess) for my lengthy (and unintentional) break from Tumblr. Many things have happened lately. Health, education, relationships, family…My god, I often wonder how I’m not in the cardiac unit at the damn hospital. It sometimes gets to that point, no joke. But anyways, I have plenty of new things to post and whatnot since my absence. I also have a question for you guys…Should I perhaps change my URL? Particularly referencing some sort of literary title or quote? I am unsure…Or does ‘In This Colony’ just sort of fit, especially since it’s been used so long? Suppose I’d kind of like you guys’ help, if you have the time or effort to do so. It isn’t necessary, but would be helpful as well as something I’d cherish and appreciate, should I choose the URL. Anyways, I’m done for now. Happy Black Friday or whatever. Don’t die.
Love you all so much…

After three years is anyone still using tumblr? it’s been ages!!
still up??
Hello loves!!! It’s been a while since I’ve posted and I’m so sorry about that. I was on a mini hiatus I was not in too great of a mental state and then school started back up but I think I’ve finally gotten time to update this blog. I am clearing out my requests and starting over (sorry to anyone who had one that I didn’t do). So right now requests are open!!! Send me an ask or message and tell me what you want. I will be trying to post 2-3 times a day.
To get back into the swing of this blog, I’m tweeting about each short story in the amazing anthology ALL OUT as I read them! You can follow along over at my twitter if you like, or wait until I write the full review of the anthology as a whole.
It’s been a bit of a rough spring, but know what will help? Reading, and then sharing with y’all, some good queer stories.
Thanks for sticking around!

I’m back!
Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well.
I have been pretty busy as you can see, I worked last year in a job center, then went to do a professional internship in Finland and I’m currently working in a airport’s duty-free shop. I have been trying to save money to buy my own home, I’ve tasted independance when I lived in Finland, and I would like to afford it again.
I didn’t find the time to motivate myself into drawing and I’m sorry if some of you have been waiting for something to pop up, really I am.
But now I will try to be there more often and upload more drawings, since I am watching some new media/anime, I have this urge to draw some of my favorite characters! :D
Also, I will soon open commissions! I will post the pamphlet soon, but if you want me to draw you something, just send me a message and we’ll talk about it :) Right now, I’m not too busy with work so I have the time.
But you have to understand that, me being back doesn’t mean I will regularly upload videos on my youtube channel ( though it never was regularlycough ), I might if something really inspire me but please don’t get your hopes up, I don’t want to disappoint you.
Alright, thank you for paying attention to this post, stay happy and have a nice day ;)
I’ve seen it a million times: just as the main character is about to die, their friend finally catches up to them to save them in the nick of time. Each time, I can’t help but wonder why the friend didn’t arrive a little earlier or later, and each time no explanation is given. Just as the plot slows down, a new villain will rise up to confront the main character. Why the villain didn’t make himself known earlier or show up later remains a mystery.
If you are writing a story where you don’t want it to seem like your characters are being pushed around by the author like puppets, you will need some kind of explanation as to why things happen when they do.
A great way to do this is to causally relate the events that need to coincide. For example, the screams of the dying main character could allow the searching friend to finally find them. The new villain could have been there all along, waiting for a slow, peaceful time in order to best strike.
If, on the other hand, you are okay with a bit of authorial nudging here and there, timing is one of the more subtle ways to do it.
im going to finally open requests !! feel free to send anything in (but please check my carrd !!!)
