#Sangu family

[clockworkbee]

Sometimes, family is just an absent archaeologist, a housekeeper, a librarian, a gardener, a retired actor, three unlikely little witches, and an aggravatingly, relentlessly sunshiney tutor with the most irregular of ideas. Of course, someone who, in the end, also learned that while alone is how we survive; it’s not how we live.

Catastrophe at 16 is a group of people trying to communicate how much they care about the protagonist and swearing they’re undying love for him as he learns the importance of friendship and gets through that emotional barrier. Vampire Reign is the protagonist desperately trying to convince his acquaintances that they’re all actually besties because he is desperate for a sense of community and connection.

“All the charmingly domestic magic that once delighted 1960s sitcom audiences has recently come back into vogue, finding a new outlet in the subgenre we’ve collectively embraced as cozy fantasy. Bask in the comforts of magically folded laundry, stew you don’t have to stir yourself, and the feeling after a long hard day that you can brew a nice hot drink that has a little something extra in it to keep you warm. Sure, the something extra is probably a spell, but in cozy fantasy, the magical possibilities are endless! So, let’s go back in time for a look at a particular television trend that was oddly similar to the kind of stories taking over our shelves (and our hearts) today…“

The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches

A warm and uplifting novel about an isolated witch whose opportunity to embrace a quirky new family - and a new love - changes the course of her life.

As one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon knows she has to hide her magic, keep her head down, and stay away from other witches so their powers don’t mingle and draw attention. And as an orphan who lost her parents at a young age and was raised by strangers, she’s used to being alone and she follows the rules… with one exception: an online account, where she posts videos "pretending" to be a witch. She thinks no one will take it seriously.

But someone does. An unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches how to control their magic. It breaks all of the rules, but Mika goes anyway, and is immediately tangled up in the lives and secrets of not only her three charges, but also an absent archaeologist, a retired actor, two long-suffering caretakers, and... Jamie. The handsome and prickly librarian of Nowhere House would do anything to protect the children, and as far as he’s concerned, a stranger like Mika is a threat. An irritatingly appealing threat.

As Mika begins to find her place at Nowhere House, the thought of belonging somewhere begins to feel like a real possibility. But magic isn't the only danger in the world, and when a threat comes knocking at their door, Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect a found family she didn’t know she was looking for….

Battleathon Week Two

Battleathon is a readathon created by Mel from Mel Lenore Reads and co-hosted by many others in the BookTube and Bookstagram community. This one is a bracket-style readathon, that relies on star ratings, and while it involves dragons and there’s a fantasy slant, you don’t have to read solely fantasy books for this readathon. I will be reading mostly fantasy, though, because I feel like I haven’t…

🧦☕🧸A Guide to Writing Cozy Fantasy

Check out my masterpost for more tips :)

What is "cozy fantasy"? 🧺🪵

Cozy fantasy is a subgenre that is characterized by a more everyday approach to fantasy.

While its definition is not as clear-cut (everyone will have a sightly different idea of what it needs to look like), there are some general approaches to writing in this subgenre.

Elements of Cozy Fantasy 🕯️ೀ

A comforting, healing ambience 🍪

Rather than bloody battle and cunning witches, we have our next door wizard baker chumming up his special pumpkin pie.

Every magical book at their deepest core evoke a healing quality, but for these cozy novels, this warm element takes control.

2. "Kindness” and ‘gentleness” tropes 🍂

Found family/community, a sense of togetherness

Kind hearted protangoists

Plots gull of joy, hope or happy endings. Give your readers reassurance that everything will work out. And they do.

Ambience woven in the worldbuilding that gets the reader intitamely close to the world

Slower pace, allow the reader to delve into the story world and build stake in these kind, loving characters.

Slice of life: provide personal insight into the character’s “mundane” lives. 

The plot must take this "happy" nad kind" element as the MAIN theme. Every book provides catharsis at the end, but if the process if filled with dark, dangerous adventures, that's not cozy at all!

3. Cozy doesn’t mean “no/low stake” 📖

No novel would be interesting without conflict and some kind of loss.

Think of “personal” stakes. Cozy fantasy can be grand adventures, quiet magical quests, fairytales or healing slice of life stories.

For example, the protagonist can develop new relationship around town and figure out her passion to express the theme of importance of enduring. 

4. Generally slower pace, focusing more on the inner development of the protagonist and the main side characters.

Kureto : so there is this ongoing debate in the field about nuclear weapons. should we consider them a means of peace as no one would actually use them to start a war because that would result in mutual assured destruction?

Mahiru : idk bro just destroy everyone else before they can use them I guess?

Shinya : idk bro isn't it just easier if no one has them?

Seishiro : idk bro nuclear weapons give me war vibes not peace vibes

Shinoa, texting to Aoi : please come take your boyfriend he is trying to make them use their brain again

i should be studying for my upcoming exam but everytime i try to start reading my contemporary military theory book i cant help imagining an alternate universe where kureto is a political sciences student and at dinner starts talking about this shit in hope of stimulate some critical thinking in those dumbasses of his siblings but they all just go ”bruh what the fuck?„ ”you okay nii-san?„
