Lenesse?

I was smol and wanted to be a cool fantasy action heroine. So I started making up stories where a very thinly veiled self-insert was a main character (featuring equally thinly veiled inserts of some of my friends) in a portal fantasy.

Then I grew up, and she kinda... grew up with me. I've had other more self-inserty characters that were too thin so they just disappeared, but Lenesse and her cohorts had become too separate and realized, so they stuck around. The story also stopped being a portal fantasy, because it made less and less sense that they weren't from Kaslay.

Thanks for the ask!

Thinking and screaming about how m*le-dominated the zoology field is and has been for centuries. M*les have been the ones making all the “discoveries” and theories about nature, getting species named after them (at least in English)... They really imposed their m*leness on MOTHER nature T_____T

I didn't even know zoology was dominated by them :( what the hell. That makes no sense in any world. Mother is ours.

We're going to have to start from scratch and rename every species :/

Hi!! I’m new to THG fandom and decided to start the series when I saw the new prequel in my bookstore. I finished book 1 in a couple of days (absolutely loved it!! Can’t wait to start Catching Fire) and am looking for different blogs to follow.

I’m trying to do something fun and am asking different blogs to recommend me to one another BUT with a special request of finding a variety. I’m trying this to stay well-rounded and so I can avoid going down a rabbit hole. So is there an Everthorne/Gale blog you’d recommend? Afterwards I will visit them and ask them to recommend Everlark/Peeta blog and keep going down the line as far as I can!

Hello, welcome! Always love seeing new people reading and joining in the fandom fun :).

Before anything, I do want to caution you about spoilers! Since the series isn't active rn no one is giving spoiler warning or anything of the sort, so if you haven't gotten to read Catching Fire or Mockingjay yet, I'd just be very careful what you are reading until you get a chance to finish them!

Wow...as for your recommendation request, that's actually a little tough!

I don't know many Everthorne blogs. I...actively dislike them as a romantic relationship personally. There are a few I have blocked, but that should say why I'm not recommend you to them. BUT I do love Gale! And if you want some an awesome blog for positive Gale content in general aside from shipping, I'd go to @warriorlid14 's blog. She doesn't SOLELY focus on THG or Gale, but she does chat about him very positively so I'd recommend going there for sure!

Yea. Other than that, and a lot of Everlark blogs I know are very cool about Gale, I can't really think of anyone else to recommend. I don't know any specifically Galeniss blogs that I'd be comfortable suggesting checking out.

20. Tell us the meta about your writing that you really want to ramble to people about (symbolism you’ve included, character or relationship development that you love, hidden references, callbacks or clues for future scenes?) 👀

Ooooh, I love this question. there's so much where do I start

In a trilogy I have planned, each book has a similar structure meant to parallel the other two; those structures center around the arcs of the three main characters, that also parallel and reflect and build off each other - even while offering three different perspectives/flipped scripts. It's been interesting to plan ahead and see how the similarities and differences flesh out some aspects of the characters, and make certain scenes/traits/actions more impactful to the end of the series. they're also a trio of reckless drama queens lost in a large universe and I love them It kind of happened by accident at first (and I don't know how obvious it will be in the final product), but I really love that aspect of the series now.

A symbolism thing in the most recent world I've written: the number 9 shows up a lot - it's a sort of alternate universe nod to the Trinity (3x3), as well as representing the three “components" of the the world: Mithae, Aedrir, and Ae (there are some in-world theological theories about how the three components tie back to the Trinity, but that's another discussion).

Another by-accident-but-it-turned-out-cool-when-I-developed-it thing: all of the main characters in my Kaslay series have surface level fears that directly symbolize what they fear the most in a deeper sense. For example:

Andren is cleithrophobic (afraid of being trapped and unable to move); his main fear is being helpless to protect his friends and family.

Lenesse is nyctophobic (afraid of the dark); a lot of her underlying (and mostly unacknowledged) fears relate to things she can't see and understand. She is also afraid of becoming "dark" herself, not only losing her own light but losing sight of anyone else's (and potentially snuffing out other peoples' light).

Esyin is acrophobic (afraid of heights); also, knowing that he is actually one of the smartest people around makes him afraid that he will reach too high, overestimate himself, become too proud, and so "fall from grace" - and even worse, take people with him when if that happens.

These fears also have very tangible roots, both for the surface level fears and the underlying fears. Andren was trapped in a small space for two days when his brothers needed him; and he's generally felt helpless since the beginning, due to the enormity of a war in comparison with his ability to keep those around him safe. There was a whole traumatic experience with Lenesse that I won't get in to now, but beyond often using knowledge as one of her main weapons and so being afraid of losing that, she (slight spoilers) is also afraid of her magic powers, which are complete unknowns to her; magic is something she's only ever (in her admittedly limited experience) seen used for evil and for twisting people, and she is terrified that it will turn her into something that could hurt/ruin her friends and family - something "dark". Esyin fell off a very high cliff when he was kid and broke his leg - he's also seen brilliant, highly-regarded people (like he gradually seems to be becoming) bring the entire country of Kaslay to ruin for egotistical (and supposedly logical) reasons.

Narin and Tresha are the other two main characters but there's so much that I haven’t even got to with these three, so they’ll have to wait for another time

On more character stuff, another ask reminded me of one of my favorite character arcs, where the main character goes from selfish, revenge-obsessed loner to understanding, self-sacrificing leader through the Power of Found Family™ and also Friendship.

Partially since I’ve been developing it recently, I am excited for some foreshadowing in a newer project, building up to a twist that I am also excited for (which will feature a lot of callbacks). But I can't really go too far into that now because spoilers (also I may need to apologize in advance to my writing group and I haven’t done that yet).

Considering the amount of stories and WIPs I have in mind, there is more - however, this post is long enough as it is lol, so I’ll end it there.

Well, feeling bad IS different from remorse.

But also maybe.

This does not extend to me as a reader, though, do not hurt the bois and gals :(

Let's face it. There's only two kinds of writers: those who feel sorry for their character's angsty backstories and those who don't.
