Don't mind me. I'm just over here, gluing magnets to magnets. As you do.
But now my metal Romans will not fall off the #Midgard bases I made.
#spreadthelard #Nerdlings #wargaming #wargamerproblems #WednesdayWIP

Rare earth magnets glued to weak ass fridge magnets.

Test. Metal Legionaries not falling off even at an angle.

Metal cavalry needed two rare Earth magnets to not fall off, but anyone letting my figures hang like this is gonna get thumped anyway.

I don't really have an actual work in progress for #WednesdayWIP for @thebrokenspine.co.uk, but I do have a collection of odd fragments to piece together or cannibalize for parts. Here's a selection of scraps from my notes app.

#WednesdayWIP on a train from Prague to Vienna:

From open ground
to thinning copse, all
meters measured in
zig-zag. Next door sunflowers
count bullets and hang their
heavy heads. Second-class
train cars are the first
repurposed when all lines
travel south-east, where
clouds gather grey.

#WednesdayWIP @thebrokenspine.co.uk Here it is:

The Worms Will Come

On grey feet, webbed, beautiful as
a ginkgo leaf, the fledgling gull
tries out its worm dance
on my kitchen roof.
Pirate eyes like black pearls,
it taps a rhythm on the mossy tiles
hopeful, hopeful that, against all odds,
the worms will come.

@metaphorqu.bsky.social

I would have had a #WednesdayWIP but...

A point of view is not, to me,
a P.O.V.
Given my personal and much loved
Multiplicity
It freaks me out
that each and every character who clamours to be
free should only be allowed one narrow little voice, thus losing
all their damned
humanity.

“Routines are the luxury of the steadfast”

Line from #WIP for #WednesdayWIP
Handwritten 1st draft. Working title - The Old Woman and the Tree

I’m just going with the flow in this WIP. No planning, no crossing out, all handwritten. We’ll see where she goes.

Handwritten text reading “Routines are the luxury of the steadfast. The people who remain for long enough in one place learn to take for granted the things other people crave, dream of”

I missed #WednesdayWIP by @thebrokenspine.co.uk, but here is something I’m working on.

This memory of a white, one-shoulder top,
with its black, glittery rose from Mark One, early 2000s,
has the same smell as queuing for golden, salted fast-food fries
a moreish McDonald's magic, crisp and warm,
falling out onto trays from red-logoed cardboard packaging.

Or the burgundy trousers worn when walking through wet peat and grass on the ground
rich and earthy, a natural after-rain concoction released by her footprints.

Or remembering her grandma's Estée Lauder,
with a gold bow-detailed design on its packaging,
different from the stale water in a vase of her flowers at home
murky, earthy, forgotten; petals crumpled, dry,
falling beside the vase.

Or auntie's chemical, strong nail varnish remover,
purple in a bottle of circle-shaped pads in a peach-coloured tub,
removing all trace of chipped colours.

Or the faultless efforts when entering the sharp, clean smell of chlorine
of swimming lessons, bravery, certificates, and instructors.

#PoemsAbout #WorkInProgress #Woods #WednesdayWIP #Folklore Not to brag about procrastination, but I've so many unfinished/unpolished bits. I've been trying to finish Hop A Peal for a long time now and I keep revising certain poems. This is Little Red's Teeth, one of it's many poems.

Little Red's Teeth by J.D. River 1/2

The Wolf lay still, his body torn,
His breath was gone, his fur was worn.
And yet his shadow did not fade,
It curled beneath the trees and stayed.

Her fingers pressed against the bite,
A half-moon red, too small, too slight.
It did not burn. It did not weep.
It pulled beneath her skin, too deep.

The trees leaned close. The air grew thin.
The path behind unraveled in.
The woods were dark. The woods were wide.
She did not wait. She stepped inside.

The door swung wide, the floor lay bare,
No fire burned, no breath was there.
The bed stood neat, the chairs stood tall—
She was alone. Or was she at all?

A thread ran loose along the floor,
It whispered past the open door.
The wind ran fingers through her hair—
A hand that touched, but was not there.

Her teeth clenched tight. Her hands held still.
The hush ran thick. It took its fill.
She closed her eyes. She did not cry.
Her ribs unlatched. Her breath ran high.

Her bones unspooled, her skin unspun,
Her nails curled sharp, the stitch undone.
Her breath ran deep, her throat ran wide,
Her hands let go. Her hands untied.

The hunger stretched, but not with pain—
It curled and pulled, it called her name.
She bared her teeth. She knew the tune.
The spindle turned beneath the moon.

Little Red's Teeg by J.D. River 2/2

She did not fear. She did not hide.
The loom had spun. The thread was tied.
A second birth—a body new.
She smiled sharp. She saw the truth.

The Hunter’s steps were firm and slow,
His rifle high, his voice hung low.
“I know what’s here. I know what stays.”
She grinned. “Then, Hunter, turn away.”

The Wolf’s long shadow curled at her feet,
It rose and twined where heartbeats meet.
It slid up her spine, it breathed in her ear—
A shape of hunger he could hear.

His hands went still. His aim grew slack.
He swore he saw the forest’s black
Flow from her eyes in a molten thread—
Not just the girl. Not just the dead.

His bullet flew, the barrel smoked,
The forest rang, the branches choked.
The woods drank deep the ringing squall—
The shadow swelled. She did not fall.

The Hunter breathed. He blinked. He swayed.
The shot was true. And yet she stayed.
Her smile was sharp, her gaze was near—
And something else was smiling here.

She stepped ahead. The shadow spread.
The earth leaned close. The Hunter fled.
The wind went still. The thread unties.
The Wolf and Red walked side by side.

The woods are kind. The woods are fair.
The woods take all, but leave some spared.
The trees drink blood, the roots run deep.
She smiles. She feeds. The woods still keep.

A day late

The sewing in of end on the multi-stranded brioche jumper continues

A Highland cow starts to emerge from some slightly tricky eyelash yarn

Rows of mossy green with flashes of purple knit with loose ends waiting to get sewn in

A pocket of very dense fluffy hairy knitting. It looks a bit like a discarded beard.
