me when I’m like 3 months late to posting this😔 gonna do a few more prompts that I’ll post soon!!

you know in booktok when people say ‘*author* basically raised me’ ?? well i have that, but its kinda weird. obviously rick riordan, cause his books were the ones that made me realize how much i loved reading. then chris colfer, cause he’s a genius and when i read them for the first time i just fell for every single character. little me who loved disney movies loved tlos just as much. then there’s james riley, and that’s the weird thing. i never read one of his books completely. i read the first 100 pages of half upon a time but i never finished it. and i started story thieves but also dropped it. and somehow, still, i feel such a connection to his books and the way he writes. i used to reread story thieves all the time, but i have never read the end. never. and i have no idea why. i just dropped it every time.

Are there any Story Thieves fans here on tumblr? Please? I have many words bottled up since I first read Book 1

I need to talk about Owen and his development. I need to talk about EarthGirl and Bethany. I need to talk about Charm. I WANT TO TALK ABOUT KIEL AND KARA DOX AND WHY THEY SHOULDVE GOTTEN MORE TIME TO SHINE (ESPECIALLY KIEL) AND I WANNA TALK ABOUY HOW COOL BOOK 4 WAS AND-

The ship itself was about as long as a football field, or some other really long thing, given that May honestly could never remember how long football fields were. A hundred yards? That was like three hundred feet, wasn’t it? The boat did seem long, but she was over five feet tall herself, and that’d be like sixty of her end to end. only sixty? Or was that a lot of herselves? Stupid analogies. The boat was big, that should cover it. — May in Twice Upon a Time (Half Upon a Time, #2)

Have you read Story Thieves? It seems like something you'd enjoy

IS THAT THE SERIES WITH THE HALF-FICTIONAL GIRL???

I loved those books!!!!!!

I was bored in class and couldn't get Story Thieves out of my head, so I drew Charm and Kara in regular everyday clothes 🤗

of course, kiel gnomenfoot book 7’s real title is ‘story thieves book 1’ bc it’s literally owen disguised as kiel for most of the book. if he’s fr i can’t wait to see how he’ll juggle that when we already know how it ends

[agent-toast]

i made a revenge of magic x story thieves x the owl house hunger games simulator thingy! only i haven't actually watched owl house so only luz, king and the collector are there. also luz and king die rly early a lot

actual post under cut:

first here are the icons i used for the characters, drawn by me! the designs for some are just sketches and not confirmed.

jia

rachel (my version of rachel is transfem btw!)

fort

cyrus (headcanon: the eye thing happens when he uses magic cause woO old one but he can conceal it) (personal fav doodle)

my version of cyrus is transmasc btw!

sierra

kara and her ✨existential crisis✨

bethany (another fav) (she would wear a turtleneck fight me)

owen (don't rly like this one. i was tired at this point)

charm (my version is probably transfem i can't decide)

luz & king (king's photo taken from google because i was too lazy too draw king :')

collector (another fav - i did this right after owen's and it gave me motivation) (lower part isn't so good but ah well)

feel free to use any of my doodles in this post for pfps or anything, just @ me and credit me in an easy to see place!

here are some highlights + some with drawings

[non-time is the place merlin's cottage gets sent into by emrys, and in this case it's basically read as you died but james riley censor. unless belos comes then yeah you died]

get rejected buddy

NO BUDDY

jia is scared she'll make them cry (well she did)

he's just here for the funsies guys

how dare you do this jia!!

he's been put in a prison again :(

cyrus is struggling not to point out every single flaw in the Kara Dox books about time travel. meanwhile, bethany is ???

guys. he's been doing this for at least 3 rounds. stop reading fanfiction cyrus

he did a varian from tangled the series

skill issue

are you kidding me cyrus you're the Old One of TIME you're the TIMELESS ONE

another way for kara to escape her fate i guess

they did this twice in a row. time travel besties??

belos the fans would like a word with you.

This might be extremely niche but did anyone else read "Story Thieves" by James Riley? Because watching Across the Spiderverse, all I could think was that The Spot reminds me way too much of Nobody.
