Goodbye, Pier 1

by Janeil_H | Jan 20, 2021 | 2021, Social Updates

I only found out today that Pier 1 closed all their physical locations. This hit me quite hard; I know I didn’t really purchase stuff from them, but it was a place I loved to stroll, explore and just basically browse. It was one of the top 5 places I’d go to when back at ETSU, short of Starbucks, the mall and and Books A Million.

As a matter of fact, Pier 1 in Johnson City was in the same plaza. I’d just park one spot and walk to both.

Usually I’d go there Saturday evenings, when I got bored at home or wanted to stretch my legs. Sometimes on a Sunday; but usually Saturday. I was frequenting the store almost every week in 2012, especially after I moved back to ETSU in the fall.

Reddit WritingPrompts – Landing at the Sky Temple Ruins

by Janeil_H | Jan 12, 2021 | 2021, Writing

While I was on my writing streak last summer, this was one prompt I had written a response to. I find that I like to “go against” the grain of most of the responses, if that’s a thing. A lot of people on this thread were “whoops, I got left here” or “I was serving a prison sentence here”. The architecture reminded me a lot of South Asian, so I tried to put that into a spin of someone visiting. A bit brief and rough, but I liked it.

Done in July 24, 2020.

Note: My writing for Reddit writing prompts is different for brevity. While this is a good example of my writing, I often omit backstory and several details to create a concise post. Please look at my other works if you’re looking for my more regular style of writing.

OP

–

“How far are we out?”

“Not too far, we will be onsite in a minute.”

Va’shoo unsteadily fingered her pulse rifle. Their lance had been sent to bodyguard the Monarch’s “Paladin” on a personal matter. She had sent her and several of her sisters with this task. The young man differed from both their kind and hers; the olive skin and dark hair. He had been recovered in deep space two years ago, and his origins were unknown.

DnD Commission – u/TheKingTortoise

by Janeil_H | Dec 24, 2020 | 2020, Art

This was a commission I did for u/TheKingTortoise, of him and his brother’s DnD characters (half-elf barbarian, dwarf fighter). They have a group of goblins that go around with him, sort of like kids to my understanding. This was real fun to do, and glad to have made a Christmas gift for someone’s holiday.

Feel free to reach out to me for a commission if you fancy something like this yourself!

Your Ride is Ready for You

by Janeil_H | Nov 27, 2020 | 2020, Art

I put this together this week. I’ve been wanting to show how my Notikan race functions in a more normal environment, rather than “just standing up and being popey”, to quote an online buddy. This was a result of that, showing one greeting a pilot to his vehicle, having the role of a technician or sorts.

Thanks to @elucidator_arts for the figure lineart.

Vigilance Reboot – WIP NanoWrimo Cover

by Janeil_H | Nov 2, 2020 | 2020, Art

For 2020’s NanoWrimo reboot, I decided to reboot my old Vigilance series, which is the first story I had ever made the 50K requirement for. I wanted a nice thumb to convey what I was going for when someone visited the page, so I accomplished that, at least!

Here you have the protagonist’s two love interests, along with a shot of the aerial battleship the story revolves around. And since this takes place in the Bermuda Triangle, beach and ocean was appropriate.

If and when I do publish, it’ll have a more professionally done cover. Just something to give a visual representation as I work on it in the meantime.

Eateries – Spicy McNuggets

by Janeil_H | Oct 31, 2020 | 2020, Eateries

During one night at someone’s wedding, I got fed up with the lack of food and stepped out to get something to eat. This was the result.

I had no idea that spicy McNuggets was a thing, but it apparently is! We’ll see how long they last.

Verdict? 6 out of 10. Spicy and ranch go hand in hand. Still the same mush in the middle. Unfortunately as fattening and oily as they are, a Wendy’s Spicy Nugget will still blow this out of the water with taste alone.

But for a late night budget snack? This isn’t bad at all. 20 nuggets go a long way.

Here’s something I’ve been putting together for awhile, and got it done just in time for Halloween, too. Please enjoy my take on telling some stories, with more of a calming, atmosphere twist on it. Thanks to Wayc for helping me read some of them.

Reddit WritingPrompts – Prompt Me Response – Dunkin’ Cleric

by Janeil_H | Oct 29, 2020 | 2020, Writing

In the rare instance, one of my prompts actually got responded in a Prompt Me post. In this scenario, I told them to write about my two clerics, and to play around with their accents. I didn’t specify which, and they ended up swapping it on the characters. They did a pretty snazzy job, I think!

Done on September 4, 2020.

This piece of writing is not my own, and belongs to the original poster.

OP is now deleted, but you can still access their original post.

I’m not sure anyone knows how much your ass starts to hurt after riding a horse for five hours straight. To say I was lost was a massive understatement. At this rate, the village is as good as ashes right now. I had to get off and try and figure out where in the wide world I was.

Dream Journal: December 19, 2018

by Janeil_H | Oct 28, 2020 | 2020, Dream Journal

This was a strange dream I had back in 2018. It’s been with me for quite awhile, and while I’ve come to realize what I was going through, it was one of the first dreams I shared publicly at the time elsewhere. It’s high time I added it to my repertoire now that I am sharing my dream journal here, and with some thoughts from what I had learned in that time.

The dream starts that my parental family (mom, dad, siblings) took possession and ownership of my uncle’s house, who I’ll refer to as N. He was married to my dad’s sister, and they had an only child who is a cousin. We’re not close anymore and some stuff has happened that’s made me go my own way. It’s not great feelings, so this general sense of those feelings loom over me this portion of the dream.
