Gonna test a few #ootd posts here to see if any of my accounts are well-suited. I know we post about the books here, but ngl I would love to look like our books' vibe whenever possible

This was an October outfit, but I'd wear this again anytime
Sophie is posing in front of a full-length mirror. She has her brown hair up in a clip and has pale skin. She is wearing Iridescent purple-teal eyeshadow and a face mask. She has on a black skull and crossbones lace choker, a silk black loose shirt with floofy sleeves, fitted skinny green trousers, black booties, and a ghost purse. She is wearing many silver rings and a long dragon bone necklace. Sophie is posing in front of a full-length mirror. She has her brown hair up in a clip and has pale skin.

There is a grid of nine square photos with a dark blue background around them. All the photos are darkened and desaturated. In the top left photo, Tylor, a pale Northern Irish man with long, dark curly hair and wearing a black suit, is squatting close to the ground beside a tree trunk with his hands clasped one over the other. The top middle photo is a series of silhouettes of gravestones, the faint outline of a mountain in the background. The top right is a paved bridge that extends into fog, with metal railings on either side and branches along the top edge of the image. The centre left photo is a blurred, dark image of lines on a road and a streak of a headlamp above. The centre middle is a starry night sky surrounded by black silhouettes of tree tops. Centre right is a lighter photo of a roadway and field beyond, with a white Mini driving on it. The bottom left photo is of several leafless young trees beside a lake. The bottom middle photo is a low-angle shot of a cobblestone wall and memorial obelisk atop it. In the bottom right image, Naveena, a British-Indian woman with brown skin and long dark hair, moves along a hedge in a black leather jacket with a wary expression on her face. There is text overlayed all the photos. It says: "The Pitch. Tylor & Naveena are keeping secrets: he can talk to the dead & she is Death herself. No mortal can do what they do. The day they meet, they discover they've been looking for each other. Can they work together to save a missing girl, & themselves, before it's too late?"

There is a grid of nine square photos. Top row, L to R: 1) A dark mosaic floor is covered in tall lit candles. 2) A woman kneels in front of a colorful ofrenda, arranging flower pedals and beans into a skull on the floor in front of it. 3) Naveena, a British-Indian woman with brown skin and long dark hair, stands in front of a wall covered in foliage, dressed in black. A colorful rose and marigold crown sits on her head, holding a black lace hair covering in place. Her face has white lace patterns painted on it that mimic both mehndi and a skull and she is wearing bright gold earrings, a lace choker, and wine and white bangles. She is looking to the side warily. Middle row, L to R: 1) A small doll is positioned in front of a mural. The doll is dressed in a black suit, has a skull face, and has a pair of antlers. 2) A skeleton with a top hat sits on a table covered in brown fabric. He is bent over as if tipping his hat. Behind him is a bright green wall with a toothy, colorful skull painted on it, surrounded by king snakes. On the table are other items like a pineapple, candy, and a cross. 2) The top of a spired tomb spikes out into the pale sky, surrounded by empty tree branches. 3) A woman is holding a boy's hand as they look outside at a tall skeletal papier-mâché woman on stilts smiling back at them. Bottom row, L to R: 1) Tylor, a pale Northern Irish man with long, dark curly hair and wearing a black suit, is standing in front of the dark blue door of a mausoleum. Half of his face is a skull, and his brow is furrowed. 3) There is a little chair with a fuzzy white blanket on it sitting on a concrete floor. On the blanket is a red candle, a cross, a white statue of a veiled woman, and a framed sepia photo of a group of people. Other framed photos sit beside it.

Sorry we've been quiet! We're unable to go on a research trip this year, so we're focusing on personal Allhallowtide traditions.

We've got some big (expensive, international) hopes for 2026, but for now, we're going to make sure we honor Hallowe'en and Día de Muertos 🏵 Here's our ofrenda on Oct 27!
A hand is holding a round, sugary pan de muerto made from scratch in front of a large ofrenda. The ofrenda is made up of a table and bookshelf covered in festive red and orange fabric with shiny gold maple leaf patterns overtop. Framed photos of pets and people cover the table, as well lights, candles, flowers, fruit, and pet treats. Decorative skulls also also on the table as well a large, stuffed dog in green and black decorated in sugar skull patterns

There is a photo of a small red grave with a skull and crossbones on it in the center of the poster. It sits in front of a red-grey stone fence edge covered in vines; towering above it are iron railings. A pile of dead, red leaves sit to the side. The grass is a dark, grey-green; the trees are spindly and bare, reaching towards the sky like fingers. The text across the top reads: Reincarnated Death Gods. Urban Fantasy. Love Across Lifetimes. The tagline beside the grave reads: Death Becomes Them. The text at the bottom reads: Long Way Down. A Book Series WIP by Phi and Moma. Patreon.com/longwaydownbook

We write in close 3rd, so I'm fairly certain this is how we do most of our description. I suspect we could still stand to describe even more 😅 but maybe this reflects the characters a bit, too??

#SummerOfStory
The thought calmed him down, as though the world had clicked back into order, and he looked back up at the street around them. It seemed out of sorts with the haunting screeches of the woman, as though the tone had drained out of the world while she was near and had burst back into bloom now she was gone. There were coloured paper flags stretched between the brightly painted buildings. There was colour everywhere. It wasn’t that the United Kingdom didn’t have colour, Tylor thought to himself. It just seemed like this city had embraced it far more, with the sky blue house they were passing squished up against the flaming orange one beside it. Each of the houses on the street was a different shape and colour, as though they had each grown there as individuals rather than been built. While the bright blues and oranges were unusual, there was something comforting in them. The people around him now seemed infuriatingly happy and the bright colours were jarring. He did not need to school his expression into something displeased.

Here is them being tense about liking each other in an AU we wrote 😆
Was she looking? Out of his periphery, it seemed like maybe she was. He daren’t look at her, just in case. Tylor forced himself to take a breath. What if she didn’t like what she saw? Would she have preferred someone else? What if she did like it? Holy Hell. Should he say something? An anxious thought flew through his brain and he snapped to look at her. Oh good. She was still there. Naveena, for her part, watched Tylor in little spurts as they walked. He wasn’t looking at her at all, which made it easier for her to study him as they went. What was he thinking? Was he annoyed by her? Had she made him feel awkward with that stupid feel-up comment? Maybe he was just tired. She didn’t know him well enough to say.

I'm not sure it's necessary for *every single story*. Generally though, yeah, tension is good. It's the vibrato in a conversation, or the tug that signals a dance partner to turn. It's not always negative.

Our MC are unstoppable force meets immovable object. They're often tense 😆 #SummerOfStory
“You’re claiming it’s all connected?” Naveena’s bouncing stopped as she turned a confused expression on him. “They’re on the same day and...celebrate? Honor the same people. You thought they weren’t connected?” “They aren’t.” Tylor’s tone brooked no argument; it was something his father had been adamant about. He wanted to say something unfair, but was able to stop himself, though it left him shaking a bit. “They are not the same.” Naveena’s eyebrows flew up, and she glanced down at her hands. What was wrong? “The same? No, but they’re definitely similar. Cousins, maybe? I’m not sure if that’s the word, but.” She bit her lip, thinking. What was something most cultures and religions had? “It’s like marriage,” she offered innocently. “There are different marriage rites all over the world, but in the end people are married, right?” Tylor tried to consider that reasonably. He was still tense which made it harder to give her any benefit of the doubt. Was she trying to get him to change his faith? She was a powerful being, and she was worshipped in what his father would refer to as Satanic rituals. If this was a set up, he needed to be on his guard and not listen. His father had told him every man faces their temptation eventually. It stood to reason that his would be extraordinary, considering his strange abilities. Still, she had a point. There were parallels. He wasn’t about to concede, though; they were not connected. “Not in the eyes of the Church,” he told her. Her eyes narrowed at the show of purposeful close-mindedness, a flash of indignant anger curling in her chest. “Are you the Church? I was unaware the Pope was accompanying me. What an honor. My apologies, Holy Father.” Tylor’s temper flared. “Do not-!” he expelled the rest of his breath through his nose, hearing the echo of his father in his voice and hating it. He continued more calmly, “Do not blaspheme, that isn’t funny.”

Naveena Kulkarni stands outside before a white brick wall. She has long black wavy hair, brown skin, and a nose ring. Half of her face is in purple, black, and pink skull makeup. She is wearing a thick black choker, a hot pink motorcycle jacket, and a purple shirt. The text says: LONG WAY DOWN Written by Phi and Moma Writing Partners 10+ years 50+ Patrons 2 books and counting

clarity as a show of trust, & then loops back around to subtext to show vulnerability. Naveena starts honest, uses subtext when she gets uncertain about a relationship, & ends up with a mix of honesty and playful subtext when she's secure.

Snippet shows Tylor's use of subtext at work to deflect.
“I’m invisible,” An said, grin widening. “Did you not notice?” Tylor's mouth fell into a deadpan. "You're visible to me." There were footsteps coming up behind him, and he unconsciously straightened, voice coming out softer. "Which makes me look so sane." “Detective Chief Inspector Peddle always said you could snatch a man out of thin air on a good day,” Constable Nielsen boomed, “but I didn’t think I’d ever see it for myself!” Constable Nielsen chuckled to himself, looping his thumbs in his belt loops. He was a large, friendly man who did little more than comment on everyone’s work, a blue Santa Claus who gave compliments and barbs rather than gifts and coal. “You ever consider joining the force full time?” “I’ll get out of your way,” An said, straightening. “I usually try to avoid police.” Tylor twitched briefly, trying not to react to An. "I don't believe I would fit in," he told the constable. "I assume I'm needed for a statement?"

Naveena is 5'9", w/ long black wavy hair, brown skin, and a left nose ring. She loves her hot pink motorcycle jacket and wears a thick choker to hide the large scar left behind from her murder. Here's some photos we took with a friend stepping in as her model! As for the Goddess... (1/3) #MythAugust
Naveena is standing, leaning against a tall grey tombstone in an otherwise green cemetery. She has warm brown skin and black hair that goes past her shoulders. Her arms are crossed and she's looking down pensively, with dark shadows creating stripes across her face and the tombstone. Her signature bright pink jacket is draped over her shoulders. Naveena stands in front of rings of white, gold, and black text, framed by the rings like a halo. She has warm brown skin and black wavy hair that is blowing in the wind behind her. She has her hands in her hot pink jacket, and half of her face is painted in a black, pink, and purple skull.

Just felt like sharing an old #Patreon gift - Greige the Ghost! I drew her and Moma painted her and then we got a holo foil on the flower crown. We gave them away to Patrons for two years and tried to sell the rest, but no one was buying them, so now we have a ton of them 😅 #LWDB #WriterSky #merch
There is a ghost sticker laying on a black laptop. It is a smiling ghost with closed eyes, pink cheeks, and a slightly purple tail. The ghost has a flower crown with holographic foil on it that is shining purple, blue, and green.

The grass is a dark, grey-green; the trees are spindly and bare, reaching towards the sky like fingers. The text across the top reads: Reincarnated Death Gods. Urban Fantasy. Love Across Lifetimes. The tagline beside the grave reads: Death Becomes Them. The text at the bottom reads: Long Way Down. A Book Series WIP by Phi and Moma. Patreon.com/longwaydownbook There is a grid of 9 photos.
