Selenelion Update (Big One)

Alright. So

I've been mulling over this for a little over a week on and off, last night I finally talked to someone else about it and got some reassurance

I'm going to be putting Selenelion on an indefinite hiatus/rewrite period and deleting the current two chapters off of AO3

There are a couple of reasons for this.

as I've worked on it this month, I found I didn't like the direction it was going. Not even in a "i'm a writer and hate practically everything i do" way, but in a "this feels wrong way." The best way I can describe it is that it feels like an inaccurate portrayal of the relationship I've had in a my head and I want to do it better

I want to finish the series before I do the full arc of their relationship. Before I thought I wouldn't have to do this until I started learning more about the newest seasons (and Lloyd's character in them) and realized that as it stands, I think I could write a better series if I had more... i guess the best way to describe it is reference material? Especially because I think Jackie would be a major player in things involving Harumi and Garmadon's resurrection because of her status as a previous student of Garmadon's (as it stands I'm not sure if she pities Harumi or wants to smack her but it's probably both)

I want to give Jackie more of a starring role in her own story. When I first revamped my OCs, I took them from being super plot involved to being the opposite because insecurity is a bitch, and that left Jackie being kind of a footnote while the main characters did cool main character shit. To put it in perspective, Jackie was not planned to go with the ninja at all to fight Morro. Her boyfriend gets possessed by an ugly ass ghost and instead of going through hell and highwater (literally high water splashing every ghost she sees in the face) to rescue him, she got left behind.

So because of all of those reasons, I'm putting the fic back on the shelf for now until I can do it justice. This also means that I'll be deleting the current two chapters off of AO3 (don't worry! they are safe and sound in my google drive)

This wasn't an easy choice, I hate quitting things and I hate that it feels like i'm giving up, but I do plan to rewrite the fic in the future, probably longer than 10 chapters this time around.

I want to thank everyone who's supported the fic so far, it means so much that people enjoyed the chapters that were just about my favoritest child (Jackie) and rest assured she will get more of her own content in the future. Big thank you to toastingpencils37, who left comments and built confidence in me that this story is something people want to read

And thank you for reading this, I apologize for any upset this may cause, but for the sake of not just leaving the fic dead in the water (and my sanity as a writer), I feel this is the best choice

Oh yeah i posted the actual first chapter of selenelion last night! Lloyd is yet to make an appearance, but Jackie does meet a new teacher :D

I drew a lot on Master/Human Garmadon for this while still trying to maintain Lord Garmadon's sorta campy, trying very hard villain vibe

Here's the link if you wanna read! Chapter 2 is in the works and yes, Lloyd will finally be making an appearance

Please tell me about the decay if you feel so inclined they sound v cool :0

HI OLEG !!

To put it simply, The Decay is one of the oldest forms of corruption in Selenelion alongside The Blight that are an actual affliction that affects the world and people instead of just powers. It is from different magical energies reacting with The Void, and acts as a sort of rot that grows from residual magic into "hives" that piece themselves into twisted horror beasts! When left unchecked a hive can easily take over an exposed ley line and become an even larger problem when wyrms are infected, turning them into living raid machines and spreading it further. The Guild sees it as a infestation and local communities are informed to keep track of it and delvers are commonly sent to hunt down wyrms before they fully succumb to The Decay's influence.

But when a Disciple or human is infected, it can be treated and in some cases manifested as a power due to it latching onto the lifeblood. Which is the pure essence of magic found in living beings and allowing them to control The Decay as if it were any other power along with other forms of corruption. (With the unfortunate side effect of mutations.)

A specific example Kokytos has is Void Decay, a variant due to him coming in direct contact with The Void through a ley line. It's highly potent and carries the abilities of Devouring that allows him to steal and destroy other forms of magic like The Void itself can! It's usually only seen around its ley lines and not as an actual power because it often ends up killing any host with how aggressive it is. Kytos except was reanimated and able to hold onto his consciousness, so he's able to control it himself instead of it piloting him around.

#Selenelion or selenehelion is a rare cosmic event which happens when both the total eclipse of the moon and the rising sun are seen simultaneously, in the sky, something that celestial geometry says cannot occur. This can only happen just before sunset or just after sunrise, and both bodies will appear just above the horizon at nearly opposite points in the sky. This arrangement has led to the phenomenon being referred to as a horizontal eclipse. There are typically a number of high ridges undergoing sunrise or sunset that can see it. Although the Moon is in the Earth’s umbra, the Sun and the eclipsed Moon can both be seen at the same time because the refraction of light through the Earth’s atmosphere causes each of them to appear higher in the sky than their true geometric position.
