Atropa your friend is a little bitch XD

.......c'est une charmante petite chose. mais comme vous le dites si crûment. Renoncule est en effet une "petite garce".

Faites attention à vos mots, pet.

[floralcard-slenders]

You know, it's the same reason they were so sad and pathetic last time you saw them. It was all because of Doom.

Hm.....

........Renoncule peut être très stupide, une petite chose très, très stupide parfois. À la faute de son propre homonyme.

[jestersdlc]

I need to do some doodles for Atropa and WD's scars and coloring/patterns at some point.......and probably an updated one for Pink's patterning (plus REDACTED) and maybe WC's since I never really messed with cards stripes much

Nielle de Fumeterre, or as I like to call him, Hélianthe being a fucking liar.

Does Atropa feel fulfilled in her current work?

❝Hmmm...❞ Atropa muses, putting what seems to be serious thought into the inquiry. Digits intwine themselves in her hair, her brows creased in her contemplation.

❝... Kinda?❞ She settles on as her answer. ❝It's a lot of learning and telling me what to do, how things are supposed to be, 'hey, get a team together to fix this time distortion', 'can you go to this universe and check something for me'... It's a lot.❞

❝I do my best, of course, but it's hard to stay engaged when it's just all the same boring stuff, you know? It isn't exactly what I expected when I was signed up for this whole 'apprentice' shtick.❞

OH I MISSED NINA'S BLOG ANNIVERSARY, THAT WAS BACK ON THE 18TH

oh my god you guys it's been four years

[drawnecromancy]

Honestly, as a writer who is often handwaving details, I still believe a little curiosity goes a long way.

I handwave the exact intricacies of many things - the calendar (it's just divided via season months right now), the wider politics of the country (i am caring about A Specific Place !), how a backstory war was won.

But there are important things to make the world feel real.

I couldn't figure out what I wanted the village where most of the action takes place looks like before I read several history articles in the ways medieval villages could shape the environment around them. I read some from scholars speaking to other scholars, some that are meant for regular people like me to learn things. I figured out something I enjoyed and that mostly made sense for the mountaineous region. Same for the sheep they care for, for the plants they grow - although I don't think I've explicitly mentioned any yet.

I read about about medieval castles, and looked up a few castles I know of, and used that to create two different ones - a real, large, defensive thing in the middle of a city with walls, a small one that used to be an outpost and had clearly been turned into some sort of manor.

And even if there is a general vibe inspired by the late medieval ages, I also know the way I tend to describe clothing is a hybrid between that later period and the beginning of the Renaissance, sprinkling bits of things I enjoy and learned about in costume history class. I carefully picked what sort of fibers they'd have access to - no cotton, but yes nettle and linen, yes wool, yes silk for the richest of the rich (it has to be imported !)

And next to that ? It's fantasy, so you get a crossbowman who can re-load her weapon in seconds.

“Be curious about what you’re writing about” is not stock Common Writing Advice but it really, really should be. There are a lot of written works that fail due to the authors just being obviously incurious about what they are writing about.

WIP questions tag

Tagged by @leotheponderer, thank youu :D

Rules : Answer as many (or as few) of the questions about your WIP as you can.

I'm going to answer these for (spins wheel) Le prix du sang.

1. What was the first part of your WIP that you created?

The skeleton of the first chapter... out of a weird ass dream I had one time.

2. Who are your favourite character(s) and why ?

Hélianthe because he's incredibly annoying but I am in love with him. I need to punch him in the face and hunt him for sport. I'd let him bite me. Etc.

3. What has been your biggest struggle while writing your WIP ?

Consistency, lol. Both in how often I write and how much I write. I am cursed with can't concentrate disease and while meds helped with trying to write once a week, it still. Wasn't as much as I would've liked to. That and school doesn't help at all.

Also not making characters better than they are supposed to be, because they're all supposed to be assholes, but because I liked a secondary character, I started trying to give them morals or whatever. Thanks, Anne de Monthaut, for making my life harder.

4. Are there any animals in your story ?

Horses, sometimes.

5. How do your characters get around ?

Horses, mostly. And feet.

6. What part of your WIP are you working on right now ?

None, technically ! I've finished the first draft and am taking a break as I research some things for believability. I'm not making historical fiction, so I don't NEED to be historically accurate, but I want my story to be cohesive and believable, you know ?

7. What aspects of your WIP do you think will draw people in?

Hopefully ? The inherent shenanigans of terrible people doing terrible things for the audience's pleasure. They're all assholes. It's incredibly funny.

Also maybe the fact that both of the romantic leads are bisexual or something but I don't particularly intend to make this a selling point; it's going to be there whether people are prepared or not.

Under the cut : the original 9 questions; including the few i haven't been able to answer. Also the people I'm tagging.

1. What was the first part of your WIP that you created?

2. If your story was a TV show, what would the intro song be?

3. Who are your favourite character(s) and why?

4. What other pieces of media could share a fan base with your WIP?

5. What has been your biggest struggle while writing your WIP?

6. Are there any animals in your story?

7. How do your characters get around?

8. What part of your WIP are you working on right now?

9. What aspects of your WIP do you think will draw people in?

Tagging : @isabellebissonrouthier, @the-stray-storyteller, @holdmyteaplease, @jezifster, @ceph-the-ghost-writer, aaaaand @multi-lefaiye ! As always no pressure if you don't feel like it lol.

"Typically, killing a Kai is strictly forbidden, and a Destroyer who'd do so is dealt with by Angels. However, when the crime of pissing me off by way of boops is taken into account, I believe they'll find this was an exception."

❝Awww, did I upset you, Lord Beerus?❞ She giggles, utterly enthralled. ❝Please do relax a little, hmm? It's just a harmless game.❞
