WIP: My Guiding Light By Atlex CarMichael

Hit 25,000 words last night so here y'all go! A sneak peek at a STILL IN DEVELOPMENT synopsis of my work-in-progress (debut novel)

My Guiding Light - a coming of age story with a male main character, 18, attending his first year of university while attempting to come out of his shell and make new friends, come to terms with his anxiety, and dealing with a recent trauma that has turned his life and mental health upside down.

Woe fan seasonal spirits be upon ye ✨

YEAH THATS RIGHT for one of my uni projects I decided to design some seasonal spirits plus a guide for my own hypothetical Sky season! The original concept was having a skykid guide the player helps uncover some of the ruins and truths left buried by the ancestor spirits, though I kinda had to just focus on the designs themselves due to time woooo

Each of these spirits were probably alive when the dark stone pollution/general issues in the kingdom came to ahead. The idea that Fearful Florist was trying to preserve some of the flowers destroyed by the pollution, Caring Fisherman used to fish for light creatures for dark stone processing but later came back and freed them and finally Starry Manta Rider used to raise Mantas but slowly watched as they were either taken or became spirits.. mmmm we love fun lore ✨

(The seasonal location would probably be in a desert area outside the Vault of Knowledge, similar to Isle, Wasteland and the Little Prince area! I imagine it’s accessed through a crack in the vaults walls. Maybe the player follows a little starry manta to get there?)

I did have ideas for seasonal quests like uncovering the spirits pasts or saving the guide from a krill during one of their investigations of some ruins but did not have to do draw it sadly ;-;

BUT YEAH enjoy these silly concepts I hope yall enjoy them!

“I thought this lantern might help?” // “No version of this where I didn’t come get you, is there?”

i adore Maruki as a character because he's simultaneously the most relatable depressing character that will make you cry with empathy, and the goofiest wettest cat loser in the game like what do you mean youre a licensed therapist and your first response to trauma is to brainwash a girl, project ur relationship issues onto a 17 yr old boy, and then rule the world in a golden leotard? bro went from 0 to 100 so fast??? anyway he's like 30% of the reason why p5r works as well as it does

PREV / NEXT / ALL / FIRST (ISAT Sky: Cotl!AU!)

AND THE CROWD GOES CRAZY FOR THE PENGUIN!!!!! (WE'RE GOING TO MEMORY LANE WITH THIS ONE BOYS!!)

I DID THE MUSICAL THING GUYS GO LISTEN TO THE SONG WHILE READING! And OMG coloring with only the fingers is so damn hard. Also I changed the lyrics a bit to fit better the context.

Sky kids are from @pearl-necklac and the lovely @primrosechronicles , who made a beautiful fic about Siffrin and Performance Guide for this AU!

I'm not normal about these 2 omgggggg. For those who don't know seasonal guides here becomes like godparents of kids born during their season, and I think Siffrin was one of those kids who then kept the love for the performance crew and acting in general.(just bc you were born during a certain season it doesn't mean you have to follow its theme later in life) and nothing these 2 are so silly they are the equivalent of the Peter B. Parker and Miles Morales meme
