54 Urban Fantasy Story Ideas to Trigger Your Creativity

(Thank you Patrons for voting for this post!) I got really stoned and spent hours just kinda reflecting on my place in the universe. Listened to some podcasts. Browsed r/nyc. And eventually came up with these 54 urban fantasy writing prompts. 👇🏾

I asked beloved Patrons which post they’d like to see next, and it looks like the beloveds would like some urban fantasy prompts this time around! Whether you write tons of urban fantasy and are just looking for some new ideas, or you’re brand new and looking to get inspired, I’m bringing you 54 urban fantasy story prompts for your beautiful brain meat. I’ve done this before with other genres. A…

I'm rereading The Iron Druid Chronicles for the first time since I was like 13, and now that I finally understand ALL the sexual innuendo I'm just wondering; do allos really think about sex that often?? Is this just an Atticus thing or do all people who have a moderately high sex drive think about it whenever they look at someone they find attractive?

I don't remember the books from Oberon's perspective being quite so... innuendo laden. I hope I'm remembering that correctly and it's not just part of how Kevin Hearne writes.

Cooperation Over Conflict

Love this quote from Kevin Hearne's Hounded about using fear and cooperation. #Inspiration #Wisdom #Teamwork #ConflictResolution #TheIronDruidChronicles

“Frightening people only pushes back the date of an inevitable fight, cooperation makes fighting unnecessary.” – Kevin Hearne, Hounded

This part made me cry because I have a hard time thinking of freckles as beautiful but this just-

Screenshot of an excerpt from Shattered, the Seventh book in the Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. The excerpt contains the following text: I am unsure why modern men are so reluctant to admit that they enjoy snuggling. When they scoff at it or claim to despise it, they’re lying, of course, trying to conform to some bullshit code of machismo. Regardless of one’s lifespan, there are few pleasures in it like a lazy morning under comfy blankets with someone you love. Granuaile’s soft smile and the early beams of sunlight on her freckled cheeks, all healed now, were so beautiful that I suspected that my day had already been made. In fact, odds were that it wouldn’t get any better, so I enjoyed the view while I could and felt grateful to be alive. Moments like that never grow old.

"You know what sucks about prophecies? They never predict anything fun. Just once I’d like to hear a prophet tell someone, 'Thou shalt win a bitchin’ Camaro on a game show.'"

Valkyrie Cain, probably.

I have a need to draw Atticus so I figured, why not make an Iorn Druid campaign. I feel like it mashes up nicely.

So, here's Atticus O'Sullivan. I wonder if there is an Irish wolf hound mod for Scratch! I need me Oberon!

Reasons I don't like Rick Riordan:

Chiron's characterization. This son of a titan raised so many actual, mythological Greek heroes (Achilles, Patroclus, Odysseus, Heracles, Jason, I could go on) and he did it damn well. He's not just gonna send a bunch of kids into a war with absolutely zero context on it, and he's not just going to abandon them when they leave camp. If you want to write a book about Greek mythology, taking characters from Greek mythology, then maybe you should actually read some Greek mythology.

Nico's existence. Hades is famous for being the one guy who never cheated on his wife. The one person who tried to sleep with him got turned into a mint plant. Nico cannot exist in Greek mythology because Hades would never sleep with Maria.

Athena having kids. Athena is a maiden goddess. She doesn't sleep with men. She thus cannot have biological children. Even if we are going the magic route, she still likely wouldn't even give a man a second (or let's be honest, first) glance.

Ares wouldn't lose. Ares wouldn't lose to an experienced fighter like Heracles or Achilles, he won't lose to some random kid, even if the kid IS a child of Poseidon.

His one Muslim character worships a god who is not Allah. This is against Muslim religion. She is a Valkyrie. This is against Muslim religion. She takes off her hijab in front of men who are not her biological and/or legal family. This is against Muslim religion.

He blocked fans who asked him (politely) to apologize, explain or even acknowledge his wrongdoings.

I could make more of these if people want them. I'm autistic and one of my fixations is Greek mythology (Notably NOT Percy Jackson) so I know a thing or two, and I'm literally part Scandinavian so I can slander Magnus Chase with my whole heart and soul.

If you want a good Norse mythology book, read the Iron Druid series. Leif is an absolute icon and his relationship with Hal is everything you could want in a ship, platonic or romantic. Atticus' dog is adorable and, as much as Atticus himself irritates me sometimes,

Three books into Iron Druid Chronicles, I think I've identified Hearne's problem with developing characters: he is (was?) incapable of writing someone who wasn't a raging douchebag.

[nate-faust-files]

Just started book one of the Iron Druid Chronicles! It's called Hounded and it's only 25 chapters! You might be able to find it in your local library, especially If you live in Arizona, where it takes place!

I’m listening to Trapped by Kevin Hearne and THE CLOWN SCENE OMG. I get that the elves needed to have an excuse to block the Forrest, so making a parade was the best option, BUT THEY DECIDED TO DRESS UP AS CLOWNS. I love the idea that they were performing for the kids too. The elves can be assassins and still be entertaining for the kids.

Ok but where did they get that much clown makeup??? They have dark skin, they would need a LOT of white makeup.

I also love the idea that the group in the sports store were arguing which ropes were inorganic but still flammable. They can’t have Atticus unbinding his way out, but they also need it to burn for an extra good measure.

I was having a good time with the book so far, but dark elves in clown costumes is just-

Amazing. Inspired. I love it MFKFKGKGK

Smakebit ~ Besieged

God adventsøndag og velkommen til nye smakebiter! I dag skal vi ha selskap for datteren min, og jeg lovet henne at hun skulle få et julehus å feire i. Så den siste uken har jeg vært travelt opptatt med pynting av juletre og å finne frem alt annet av stjerner, duker, gardiner, engler og figurer som skal overta leiligheten for en måned. (Eller litt mer. Vi tar somregel ikke ned noe før 20. dag jul…

Fifteen Books

Fifteen Books - This morning I give further updates on my reading journey as I talk about Red Seas Under Red Skies, Hounded, and Kaiju Preservation Society

Good Morning Friends! It has been a bit since I gave an update on my reading journey, so I figured I might as well close out the week with one. At this point, I’ve read fifteen books and am currently working on my sixteenth. As sad as this sounds, this is more books than I have ever read in any given year at any point in my life. Traditionally I am at max a five-books-a-year sort of person save…

I will color this and turn it into a sticker for my mom. Our whole family loves Iron Druid and she wanted Oberon and Atticus on her water cup. I still need to add Atticu's tattoos and I'll get them wrong so I'm going to have fun with it 😅

Buck Foy the hobgoblin is next. I'm getting caught up on about 5 years of promised art.
