Chapter 11 is here!

Summary: In the wake of the revelation that Coramarth is a Kinslayer, things come to a head for Maglor, Findril, and Galadae.

Excerpt:

Faramir thought long and hard. He didn’t wish to start an argument, much less in front of Findril. But so much had built up, rising to his throat only to be forcibly shoved down every time Maglor had said a self-deprecating remark with a laugh, or gestured to his gloved hand with a wry grin–a hand which he’d seen and didn’t very much look like an object of humor–and every time he smiled at Eldarion or Elboron and then went distant and cold. Confronting that head-on was the best way to deal with it; he had learned that from Eowyn.

Last month, I started a project to draw all of the characters in my verse who identify as different from the gender they were born as. Eventually, the project grew too big and I decided to stick with the characters that would actually make an appearance in stories that I'm writing, though there are a lot more of them.

I planned on doing one for gay characters, as well as bisexual characters, aro, aces etc. I might still continue it, but it might take a year or more until I finish with everything. I got a lot of characters, if I'm honest.

Most of these characters are, in fact, Sims characters that I've decided to give a deeper storyline than the game will give me. That's why I have so many characters to share with the world. I would love to tell you all everything about them, and I just might one day.

The matter of the archangels is complicated, as they're not exactly 'born' with a gender. Archangels can create new angels. Ordinary angels can't

Make Me Write Tag Game

tagged by: @dontjudgemeimawriter rules: create a poll of wips you'd like to work on and for every vote, write a sentence on the winning wip! personal modifications: for my current wips, i mostly have side projects that need working on so i will be listing those with the commitment to make progress on them instead.

tagging: @smol-feralgremlin, @winterandwords, and literally anyone else who wants to do this because i'm not sure who else to tag (will probably be opening a tag list soon)

I just found out that two of my favorite books/series (The Invention of Hugo Cabret + The City of Ember) both have movie adaptations. Ever since PJO and HP (along with TMBS though that one was ok 😋) I've been skeptical, so I don't think I'll be checking them out 😞

Some elemental wolf characters from the wolf animated series I was determined to make when I was like… 12-15?Clockwise from top left (although it's really obvious anyway) we have Silverfang, Dustpaw, Nightfur, and Honeypelt (guess where those naming conventions came from? ;) )

D&D stuff. I'm the DM.

So proud of myself right now.

So waaay back long ago (over a year irl but it's only been like a couple months MAYBE in D&D time bc D&D time is slow af) my players fought some owlbears. My players don't immediately jump to violence but these poor creatures, who were escaped lab experiments and thus the only owlbears in existence, were too angry and full of pain for the druid to reason with, and so they were killed. Even though this was pretty much a mercy killing, I still decided to put an egg in the owlbear nest when they found it, to make them feel bad.

Mistake.

Spouse's character is a young tiefling going Through It and is pretty much just a raw nerve of emotion at all times. Her name is Liliana and not only did she feel so bad she saved the egg, but she KEPT the egg. Despite the party's main quest giver being a high positioned wizard who has shown interest in magical creatures and is about 10,000x more prepared to care for this only-one-in-existence owlbear egg.

So Liliana has been carrying this thing around like a third boob to keep it warm and protecting it with her life, casting guidance on it every 6 second whenever she's not doing something else because she wants little Sebastian (the egg) to grow up Big and Strong. (Spouse named it Sebastian, but I started calling it Li'l Sebastian and Spouse, not being a Parks and Rec fan, did not get the joke and it caught on.)

Spouse has expended many turns and spell slots in combat to keep it safe. Did an entire combat once where a hag grabbed the egg, turned invisible, and hid at the bottom of a pond!! And they still rescued the fucking thing crazy fast. This isn't a Sprinkles situation, where the party forgets the animal companion is even there -- Sebastian is ALWAYS mentioned, taken care of, and protected. Fucking Togepi fucker.

Additionally, Spouse is great at keeping Liliana out of danger. I have sworn that I will get that egg!! She'll get hit and it's going to break!!! >:3 But actually I can never fucking get her. She stays in the back, the creatures are too show, she is ALWAYS somehow out of harm's way even during ambushes, and fool that I was I let her spend her feat to get Misty Step. They VERY FEW times I've actually managed to fucking hit her I've rolled to see if it hits/hurts the egg, but nothing lasting has ever come of it.

Until last session.

Leliana got hit MULTIPLE times, I'm still not entirely sure why. Additionally, Spouse CRITICALLY FAILED his post-battle check to see if the egg was damaged! And then, AND THEN, Liliana didn't heal it before their long rest!! Other times Liliana would use a heal whenever maybe the egg maybe got hit, just to be safe, but this time she didn't!!

It was my time to shine. See, I had already decided that this was the morning where the players would wake up to the egg hatching. But since it was set up so perfectly that Sebastian could have gotten hurt and not healed at all for the very first time, and I've been clear about my vendetta against this egg, I was able to make Spouse/Liliana think that waking up to Sebastian's shell falling apart was because she failed him, and it was glorious.

It only lasted until the druid looked at it, obviously, and it was very satisfying.

And now she has to protect an owlbear cub instead of just an egg, which is so much harder. ʕ⁠  ͡⁠°⁠ ⁠ᴥ⁠ ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ⁠ʔ

Update on what my (potential) next plans for writing:

Main wip - The City of Eventide 2 (for lack of a better title)

It's still kind of vague right now but I'm thinking I might write a sequel to The City of Eventide because for some reason that's the story I keep going back to in my head like I'm still stuck with those characters.

Side projects (mostly for when I'm stuck on the main wip or want some variety)

Construct Story - Vague idea of a plot and characters that I haven't talked about much here. A being created by magic and slated to be destroyed after a failed revival betrays her fate by defecting and aiding a doppelganger in stopping the other him from cursing everything he touches.

unnamed gods story - Also vague plot but less vague characters that I might have posted about before? A handful of gods working under the most powerful one protect mortals from demons, and the demon lords, but the truth they've been told may not be as true as they think

Other projects

I still want to write the story with Volt and all them, but for some reason its not going very well so it's on like, the mega backburner for now until I can figure out where the problems are coming from. So for now this one is just an idea still.

Of course this is all subject to change depending on how stuff goes

!!!! the first draft of TCoE 6 is finished and all done and good.... it should be out soon! A certain feller shows up in this chapter, and I decided to draw him

I'm pretty excited about the next chapter, and this drawing 💥💥💥

[muse-write]

One more critical scene to finish up, then I think I’m leaving this chapter as it is for now. I’m not extremely happy with it, but at least it hits the most important elements.

[emmroose-draws]

The City of Enochia

The progression of Dan & Evan's love story. I'm mostly grateful that Sims 4 poses exist so I have some continuity in my pose references.

It's not exactly an enemy-to-lovers storyline, as Dan & Evan could not be described as enemies. It's just that they didn't get along at first, but eventually their relationship started to shift.
