#Naxia

Every time I remember these characters exits, my neurons just flare up.

Naxia, an oc of AnimeNinjaXian

Did this sometime last week. I'd wanted to draw one of her characters for a long time, they're all really cool! Take a look if you're interested! Definitely want to do some of the others in the future.

I just concluded an ill-advised 12-hour long marathon in which I loaded WoX for the first time and proceeded to complete two front-to-back Explorer mode runs without stopping for more than 20 minutes.

So. First I want to say HOLY CRAP IT'S SO GOOD. I WILL GUSH FOREVER ABOUT IT.

Second: I got the first ending twice in a row, despite doing as much of the NG+ content as I could manage. Could you give some insight as to how one might access the other endings? (Besides Ruthless; I can guess what that requires)

A new fan! It's been a while! O: Glad you liked your experience. Feel free to tag me in any public gushing!

For True Ending, you just need to complete three routes: Xuna, Artimis, and Naxia, because Reasons. Let me know if you want a guide on how to unlock any routes. Additionally, you don't have to complete them all in one run. Various save files or playing in the same save file over and over works just as well. Then after, get to the last cycle of the game again. Profit.

Author Ask Tag Game

@axl-ul put up an open tag for this and I love these questions so I'm going to do it. Make sure to go read their answers because they were truly beautiful and inspiring <3333 Here's the linky.

And I will of course, use The Wolfena to answer these since it's my. most developed WIP.

What is the main lesson of your story (e.g. kindness, diversity, anti-war), and why did you choose it? I'm not into preachy stories, but The Wolfena has a very blatant anti-slavery, pro-autonomy message woven into it. Autonomy is all. This story is about finding your autonomy even in situations where you feel trapped or have no control over the world around you. I didn't choose it at all, but I once spoke to a highly accomplished author (sadly it was so long ago and I actually disliked the conversation a lot at the time, so I don't have her name). But she basically asked me "Why doesn't your book address slavery?" And I was so annoyed, because I was working on a different book that had little to do with the subject. But that question festered in my mind, and a few years later The Wolfena were born.

What did you use as inspiration for your worldbuilding (like real-life cultures, animals, famous media, websites, etc.)? I've said this before, but The Hundred tv show and Ammonite by Nicola Griffith were highly formative to writing The Wolfena. I drew a huge amount of inspiration from all of the New England winters I've survived, as all of the characters grew up in a total ice-age. I really tried to capture both the wonder of spring and the barren hopelessness of winter.

What is your MC trying to achieve, and what are you, the writer, trying to achieve with them? Do you want to inspire others, teach forgiveness, help readers grow as a person? Naxia wants to free all of the enslaved people in her nation even if she dies trying; Lariette just wants to free herself; Jimian wants to learn to be human again. I wouldn't say I'm trying to achieve anything with them, as they were all strong muses who guided me through the story, at times with minimal effort on my part. But, I do hope they help others understand that we are full of far more strength than we could ever imagine.

How many chapters is your story going to have? This is my shame. The Wolfena has a whopping 70+ chapters.

Is it fanfiction or original content? Where do you plan to post it? The Wolfena is a totally original story, at least I hope, hehe. My ultimate goal is to traditionally publish it, but we'll see where all the pieces fall.

When and why did you start writing? (Assuming this is in regards only to The Wolfena) I think I started writing this story somewhere around 2016? I had to write it to address that festering question about slavery, and also to work through my feelings about womanhood and gender as I became an adult.

Do you have any words of engagement for fellow writers of Writeblr? What other writers of Tumblr do you follow? Well, I used up a lot of typing energy on these questions, so you can find engagement and encouragement over on Fighting For Writing <3

I follow mostly writers, so I'll tag to the best of my ability and leave it open as well for anyone who wants to participate! Firstly my goblins: @angelsofprey @regret-breathing @coffeewritesfiction @incorrectgoddessgang @minutiaewriter @sindellaos and @soupy8lowfish . Other people I see in my feed a lot are as follows: @quinnharperwrites @nanashi23 @readrenard @words-after-midnight and @marmeegle !!!! Of course there are many more, but I think I'm at my typing quota XD It's time for me to stretch and go drink some water!

Much love, bbys <3333 Please take care of yourselves!

Someone playing WoX! I hope you enjoy your journey, it's my favorite game (as my header being a Naxia collage might suggest)! Also you are taking it further then I ever did with save file manipulation to challenge Marra, I only ever scrolled backwards to change decisions.

Well met! It is so good a story so far.

And well, I do kind of want to challenge Marra, but only for the homoerotic subtext, rest assured.

The space princess listened. If that could be actually true, she and Naxia should be making plans to evacuate as soon as possible, and find a few shelters around the planet. Good thing she knew some of them. Xalanna informed one of the guards to pass the message to her sister.

"If what you're saying is true, we need to act now. My sister will make an announcement to inform the rest of our inhabitants. You and me should stick together. I need to know more about your situation so I'd be able to help and prevent the parasites to stop from spreading." Xalanna told Reg, motioning the prince to follow her towards the spaceship before telling the remaining guards to assist the evacuation, "Follow me to the ship. I know a few shelters around Chronos."

Evidence.   He  bites  his  lip.  Regulus  wondered  if  he  should  reveal  the  truth.   "  A  few  years  ago,  a  scientist  from  our  planet  wanted  peace  across  the  galaxy,  he  felt  sorry  for  another  race,  that  race  is  the  enemy  today.   She  showed  them  spaceflight,  and  what  weapons  were,  and  she  did  not  expect  it  to  go  wrong,  soon  these  slugs  attacked  a  ship  that  was  stationed  on  their  world,  took  over  their  minds  and  now..  are  spreading  across  the  galaxy.  All  because  my  people  wanted  peace."   Regulus  said. 

The  story  always  sent  shivers  down  people's  arm  whenever  he  explains  it  to  them.  Regulus  was  not  sure  if  he  should  expect  to  be  imprisoned,  or  something,  he  was  ready  for  it  though. This  was  a  story  he  would  have  been  told  as  a  young  foal  back  home  as  a  child.  He  would  hear  it  over  and  over.  He  hated  it.

You can expect to see these lovely characters in action in "Women of Xal II"! The Kickstarter will be out early next year. Please follow its launch on the pre-launch page! It does literally help get it closer to the front page of Kickstarter when it launches.

[maeljade]

I won't lie I think "I had a crush on you for superficial reasons when we first met but then that went away when I spent time with you and we became best friends built on a foundation of genuine respect and care and THEN I fell in love with you properly" is an underrated trope and so much can be done with it

Tropes Tag Game

Thank you my dear @axl-ul for the tag! I'm so happy I finally have it in me to do some of these :3

I'm gonna tag my goblins @minutiaewriter @angelsofprey @coffeexafterxmidnight @bambisfinds, as well as @words-after-midnight @comicgoblinart @readrenard and @primroseprime2019

No pressure ofc!

Rules: Bold the tropes you enjoy writing or those which are presented in your writing (a lot). Put in italics the tropes which you'd like to write one day or you're intrigued by them.

Found Family | The Chosen One | The Martyr | Surprise, Bitch! You thought I was dead | Enemies/Rivals put together for a project | Teen gets kidnapped; parent goes on killing spree to find them | Happy Ever After | Black and White Morality | Fight scene turns into a make-out session | Only one bed | The airport/train/bus station love confession | AUs | Amnesia story | Villain and hero fall in love | Love triangles | Bookworm falls for the bad guy | Killing off the audience’s fave characters | Smalltown falls for Big-City | Princess kisses a frog & gets Prince Charming | Villain redeemed | Protagonist beats “best in the world” | Enemies to friends to lovers | It was all a dream! | Coming of age story

_

I had to giggle at the "Surprise, Bitch! You thought I was dead" because that is a MAJOR plot-point of one of my WIPs. Black and white morality is something I try to work into all of my stories because I think it's so true to the human experience. We all have dark and light inside of us. I also hope someday we'll find a better turn of phrase to use widely than "black and white" morality for these concepts, because of the negative connotations. Naxia and Lariette, MCs in the Wolfena, are actually my attempt at subverting the "black is bad, white is good" trope. I can talk more about this in another post if anyone is interested!

I bolded and slanted "Villain redeemed" because I've worked on that in the past with my first novel, but never quite finished it and got it to where I wanted.

AUs are life <3

Also, please, never ever do the "it was all a dream!" trope thanks bye <333333 (just kidding do whatever you want but if there is any trope I can't stand it's that one!!!)
