Hey there! Sorry it took me so long, but I finally got my questions ready for your "Solomonar Chronicles"!

I remember that this series was inspired by how bad "Fantastic Beast" got after the first film. (which I get, the other two were such wasted potential) Is anything else from Harry Potter being used for inspiration for your series?

How did you come up with your character names?

Who would say is your favorite character that you made?

Do these characters get trauma like the ones in "Upon a Star?"

Are you going to do more Draconology Files? That one caught my interest the most since I'm studying dragon biology for a villain in my superhero story.

Would this be formatted like a regular book, or play out like a movie?

Is Solomonar Chronicles like a series with each chapter being an episode, or one large story broken up into chapters?

Why did you choose the 1920's for the setting? Its not a bad thing, I actually really enjoy stories set in that period. I'm just curious.

Will we see designs for the characters some day?

Any major villains coming up we should know about?

Are there other fantasy creatures in this world, or just dragons?

I was also curious about your "Dinosauroids Project" story too. I finished the first story of my "Visitors From Pangea" trilogy, so I'm curious how you would write a dinosaur based project.

In regards to original stories we're making, I'm currently creating one called "SuperZeroes", where its a story inspired by all the CBM I grew up with. Not sure if you're into heroes, but I was hoping I could share some stuff I have with you? At least while I'm still building the world and characters.

Thank you! 🐶

Oh hell yeah, ask away!

I took a lot of inspiration from problems I found in the world-building. If you want an in-depth look at the flaws in the Wizarding World, I highly recommend this video. It’s very long, but very good. The main flaw I wanted to tackle with this series is the whole Statue of Secrecy, and how it’s more harmful than helpful for mages and non-mages alike. Also this is not a Harry Potter thing, but weirdly enough Deadpool and Wolverine had a heavy influence on the story.

I looked up lists of common names from the 1920s and picked out some that stood out to me for first and last names. Except for Atticus and Clara. Those two just sort of came to me.

Either Atticus or Jesse, it’s a tough choice. On one hand you have Atticus ,who’s deeply traumatized and scarred but over the course of the story slowly heals and finding good in the world again. And on the other is Jesse, who’s just an absolute sweetheart and so supportive of his lover.

Oh heavens no…it’s so much worse in this series. Just look at Atticus.

Yes, I have a couple in my drafts I’ve been meaning to work on.

Im hoping to get it published as a real book series someday, so it’s formatted like a normal novel.

More like a larger story broken up into chapters, for the most part.

Mainly because that was when the Fantastic Beasts trilogy was set. I’ll probably tie it into the themes of the story better with prohibition and the non-mage government, but for now that’s it. Shallow? Yeah. But it works.

I’ve been digging through concept art to use as references lately. So far the pickings are a little slim for how I envision dragons, but I still have some stuff.

Edward Donahue. He’s basically the head of the mage CIA but somehow worse (Keepers), is the strongest believer in keeping non-mages and mages separate, and oh yeah basically started all of this by killing William Torrence and burning half of Atticus’ face off. So yeah, not a great guy.

There are plenty. I’m not sure how I’ll fit them in at the moment, but they will appear, because I have some interesting interpretations. One fun idea I have is making fairies more like bugs than tiny humans.

It’s based of a theory originally created back in the 1980s by David Russell which explores the question of “What if dinosaurs never went extinct and involved human-like intelligence?” It’s a really fascinating concept that I’m surprised more people haven’t picked up on. My own story is based on concept art created by C.M. Koseman and Simon Roy. Unfortunately I don’t have a solid story yet, just some worldbuilding stuff.

Yes please

And thank you for the asks!

Hi it’s your secret admirer 🌸

I was wondering if you could share anything about your pairing Daisy Hawthorne x Prince Clarke as well as your other pairing Clara x Mr. Sinclaire.

Pictures, favorite colors, favorite foods. If you use fc’s or have any references pics. Or even something you haven’t shared with us before. If you have a Pinterest board would you mind sending me a link to it?

Literally share anything you like to I’d appreciate it.

Thanks a bunch and have a wonderful day 🌸🌸

Hi there! I would love to share more about them😊 Thank you so much for reaching out! I really tried to include as much as I could think of, but if you need anything else, just let me know :)

Daisy x Clarke

I did just make a character sheet for Daisy if you wanted to check that out, but I've listed some more about both Daisy and Clarke below :)

Favorite color - Daisy's is yellow and Clarke's is like a turquoise blue.

Favorite foods - As an American, Daisy loves pizza. It will hands down always be her favorite food no matter what. Clarke could never turn down some Ismari blue crab lol

Favorite animal - Daisy has always loved butterflies. Clarke is very fond of horses, specially Ezra.

Favorite music - When studying, Daisy loves classical music. It helps her focus and get work done faster. But when she's not doing that, she's listening to all the pop music. I think she'd probably have Sabrina Carpenter's newest album on repeat lol. As for Clarke, I feel like he'd like rock music. Or like small bands that aren't known at all. It gives him a place to escape, especially when his parents are to overbearing.

Favorite place - In the States, Daisy's favorite place is either the Clevland Public Library or her bedroom in her mother's apartment. In Monterre, it’s the royal conservatory. As for Clarke, he honestly just loves anywhere that's not Ismar. That's why Monterre was such a breath of fresh air for him.

FC for Daisy - Amanda Seyfried

Daisy typically has her hair in a side braid like in the first picture, but sometimes she'll wear it down like in the second picture. If she does wear it down though, it's typically wavy and kind of has a curl to it.

Here are some clothing options I could see her wearing when she's not completing her princess duties lol

FC for Clarke - Aaron Tveit

And then here are some clothing options I can see Clarke wearing

Clara x Mr. Sinclaire

I haven't really developed Clara much yet, so I don't have a character sheet for her, but I have included the same as I did for Daisy and Clarke above :)

Also I do have a FC for Clara, but I don’t have one for Mr. Sinclaire yet.

Favorite color - Clara's is sage green and Mr. Sinclaire's is blue

Favorite animal - Clara loves horses. Ever since she was little, she has always been fond of them. Mr. Sinclaire doesn’t really have one, but he’s gotten used to all of Clara’s animal friends lol

Favorite pastimes - Clara very much enjoys playing the piano, along with painting. She’s become fairly good at both. Mr. Sinclaire can often be found reading one of the latest books of the time. He also likes to solve puzzles, or mysteries if you will.

Favorite place - During book three, there’s an option to pick where they would mostly reside, and I picked both Edgewater and Ledford Park, so think both of these will definitely be their favorite places.

FC for Clara - Idina Menzel

Oh and I have a mood board for them here :)

ROTTMNT OC art dump

Say hello to Clara Hawthorne Cinna! She's a raccoon mutant who thinks she's a born yokai due to amnesia brought on by a concussion shortly after mutating :> I got deep into my ROTTMNT brainrot over the past month or two and finally felt motivation n inspiration to make an OC to play around with in the Rise! universe. Got a lot more I wanna do and draw, like I still need to doodle her interacting with the rest of the cast. This is all stuff I've draw in the past week and a half I think lmao. So there's a lot more I'll be showing at some point, to delve deeper into her character

mcfly july 2024 || 🌲🌲 || day 26 Clara's Diphtheria

“Mr. and Mrs. Clayton,” Dr. Hawthorne said, “I do not wish to alarm you, but two more students in the schoolhouse have developed diphtheria.”

“Good gracious.”

“They sit on either side of Clara in the classroom.”

“Well, sh-she hasn’t presented with any symptoms, I don’t think –?”

Martha quickly shook her head. “No.”

“To err on the side of caution, the schoolhouse will close for the remainder of term. It is advised that asymptomatic children isolate for one month.”

A cough came from upstairs.

Daniel and Martha exchanged a startled look.

“With symptoms, three.”

Jem y Tessa a Alec

Nota al Cónsul Alec Lightwood

Re: Relaciones con los Fae Salvajes

Tras varios días de tensión, nos alivia informar de que las amenazas a Christopher Herondale y Wilhelmina Carstairs parecen haberse resuelto. Nos hemos puesto en contacto con Gwyn ap Nudd, de la Caza, y nos asegura que el hada no juramentada conocida como Madre Hawthorn ha sido trasladada a un lugar remoto y será retenida allí por la Cacería Salvaje de ahora en adelante.

Por desgracia, la seguridad de Christopher Herondale sigue en entredicho a largo plazo. Por favor, consulte las páginas adjuntas de correspondencia personal para más pensamientos informales y preguntas en su tiempo libre.

Firmado,

James Carstairs

Tessa Herondale-Carstairs

Querido Alec,

Hice que Jem hiciera la parte formal del informe porque es algo que me irrita demasiado. Me sentí mal por pedírselo, pero me hizo un gesto con la mano: al parecer, ninguno de nosotros creería la cantidad de papeleo que archivan los Hermanos Silenciosos. Me sorprendió porque para mi las palabras "papeleo" y "Ciudad de los Huesos" no son algo que pondría en una misma frase, la verdad.

De todos modos, el informe es exacto. Julian Blackthorn, siendo él tan listo, se puso en contacto con Gwyn, que accedió a tratar con la Madre Hawthorn. (Julian tampoco le dijo a nadie que lo había hecho, claro, porque también le encantan las revelaciones dramáticas, como seguro que todos recordamos bien). Después de estar tan aterrorizados, fue ciertamente maravilloso cuando toda la Cacería Salvaje arrasó y se apoderó de Madre Hawthorn y nos devolvió a Mina. 

Mina, por cierto, está feliz y sana y no se ha inmutado lo más mínimo, a diferencia de sus padres. Estaba encantada con la Cacería Salvaje y nos ha estado contando emocionada y repetidamente que conoció a muchos caballos y que los caballos son sus amigos. Kit, por supuesto, está tan conmocionado como nosotros, posiblemente más. Apenas la ha perdido de vista desde que volvió. Incluso ha dormido en el suelo de su habitación (después de las dos primeras noches pusimos un sofá cama). No ha querido hablar mucho de ello, pero es obvio que le pesa mucho, y hay una mirada de preocupación familiar detrás de sus ojos que se ha quedado con él desde el incidente. Nos tememos que está empezando a comprender lo que realmente significa su linaje, por mucho que hayamos intentado aislarle de este.

A pesar de la amabilidad de Gwyn, ni nosotros ni Julian sabemos qué ha ocurrido exactamente entre la Caza y Madre Hawthorn, y no nos atrevemos a preguntar. Sabemos que El Mundo de las Hadas puede ser brutal, y más brutal con los suyos, y tiene su propio sentido de la justicia y la disciplina, que a menudo parece muy... inhumano. Dicho esto, confiamos en Gwyn, sobre todo porque confiamos en Diana Wrayburn. Si dice que Madre Hawthorn no volverá a molestar a Kit, le creemos.

Aún no sabemos qué fue lo que Madre Hawthorn le dijo a Kit en ese momento en que estaban solos, cuando podíamos verlos a ellos y a Mina, pero no oírlos. Kit dice que fue sólo lo que habríamos esperado, pero cuando volvió a nosotros, sus ojos estaban embrujados. Ojalá pudiera exigirle saber qué fue lo que dijo, o amenazó, o reveló, pero sé que no puedo. Nos lo dirá cuando esté preparado.

Dicho esto, no sabemos si Madre Hawthorn tiene aliados que también puedan conocer el secreto de Kit. Por mucho que haya intentado engatusar a Kit, sabemos que su objetivo es hostil; la conocimos en Buenos Aires, antes incluso de que supiéramos de la existencia de Kit, y fue muy clara. Las palabras se me han quedado grabadas: Todavía hay un Primer Heredero en el mundo. Cuando el Primer Heredero se alce, en toda la horrible gloria comprada con la sangre de Seelie y Unseelie y Nefilim, espero que la destrucción llegue tanto a los Cazadores de Sombras como al Mundo de las Hadas. Espero que el mundo entero esté perdido.

No puedo mirar a Kit, estirado en el sofá cama de la habitación de Mina, con la mano sujeta alrededor de uno de los listones de su cuna incluso mientras duerme, y no pensar en una gloria horrible. Es como cualquier chico Cazador de Sombras, una especie de ordinario no ordinario. Le gustan las películas y las noches de espaguetis y se muerde las uñas. Es una persona, no un destino.

Por ahora, muy poca gente conoce la verdad de Kit. Emma y Julian, por supuesto, y tú y Magnus, Jace y Clary... incluso los hermanos y hermanas de Julian no lo saben, o sólo conocen una vaga sombra de la verdad. ¿Pero a quién más podría habérselo dicho Madre Hawthorn? No a la Corte Seelie, seguramente; ambos estamos seguros de que la Reina ya habría tomado medidas para atrapar a Kit si lo supiera. Kieran lo sabe, por supuesto, pero no tenemos ni idea de a quién de su Corte podría habérselo contado (Emma dice que Mark y Cristina conocen parte de la situación, pero no toda). Obviamente Kieran es un aliado, y su Corte le es leal. Pero es demasiado fácil imaginar que un cortesano emprendedor (o algún fey salvaje) podría enterarse de la historia y tratar de aprovecharse de ese conocimiento.

Nos hemos dado cuenta de que, en la triste realidad, los secretos como el de Kit acaban saliendo a la luz, y no pueden contenerse indefinidamente. Incluso sólo entre los nefilim, mantenerlo dentro de un pequeño círculo de amigos de confianza todavía significa fácilmente una docena de personas.

Lo que nos lleva a nuestra primera petición real: ¿podría Magnus venir a Cirenworth en algún momento cercano, para apuntalar sus guardias contra las incursiones de aquellos que podrían desear dañar a Kit? Nos vemos obligados a reconocer que sólo son una solución temporal, pero por ahora son lo mejor que podemos hacer.

Mientras tanto, creemos firmemente (y estamos seguros de que estarás de acuerdo) que debemos intentar adelantarnos a esta amenaza. Hemos pedido a Kieran que sus espías estén atentos a cualquier rumor que circule sobre el Primer Heredero en el Mundo de las Hadas. ¿Estarías dispuesto a hacer lo mismo a través de la Alianza? Sabemos que el momento es terrible para ti; seguramente habríamos elegido un momento político menos precario para que la Clave tuviera este problema, si hubiéramos podido. Sabed que os apoyamos y que siempre estaremos a vuestro lado. Puede que nos hayamos retirado de la vida activa de los Cazadores de Sombras, pero siempre estaremos ahí si nos necesitas.

Eres muy joven para haber tomado todo esto sobre tus hombros. ¿No parece siempre que la responsabilidad nos llega a los Cazadores demasiado pronto en la mañana de nuestras vidas? Miro a mi querido Kit, y lo sé. Todos sabemos lo que se avecina, como saber que se acerca el atardecer de un día que no quieres que termine. El largo y soleado día de la infancia de Kit está a punto de terminar. Me estremezco al pensar lo que tendrá que afrontar cuando llegue la noche.

Con todo nuestro amor,

Jem y Tessa

A Million Dreams Are Keeping Me Awake (Mageborns Prequel)

They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy They can say, they can say we’ve lost our minds I don’t care, I don’t care if they call us crazy Runaway to a world that we design

Clara found Atticus on the rooftop. He was lying against a short brick wall, staring up at the stars above with his hands behind his head. He didn’t notice Clara approaching him until she spoke.

“What are you doing up here?” she asked, sitting beside him and adjusting her skirt.

“I’m just trying to clear my head,” Atticus replied, not looking away from the sky. “Are you sure your parents are okay with letting us stay here? I don’t want either of us to be a burden on them.”

“Oh, nonsense. You and Will are welcome to stay as long as you need to,” Clara said.

There was silence for a few minutes as they stared up at the stars. Finally Clara spoke up again. “So, what are your plans going forward?”

Atticus shrugged, sitting up. “Find a job to make ends meet until Will graduates and gets his own job. Then maybe I can go off and work with dragons like I’ve always wanted to.”

Clara nodded, resting her chin on her knees. “Dragons, huh? Sounds kind of…” she hesitated, trying to find the right word.

“Foolish? Halfwitted? Idiotic?” Atticus finished for her, a faint trace of a smile on his lips.

“I was going to say dangerous, but I suppose that works too,” Clara said. Atticus didn’t seem offended by this comment. Clara and him were good enough friends that little joking jabs like that were normal. “I mean, they’re dragons Atticus. They’re big fire-breathing beasts that do more harm than good.”

Atticus pointed a finger at Clara. “And that’s why I want to work with them. To prove that sort of thinking wrong.” He added as he saw Clara’s brows furrow in confusion. “They’re not monsters, they’re animals. And I want to show people that. I want to show other mages they shouldn’t be feared or hunted, but respected. Not just dragons either. Drakes, Lindwurms, Wyverns, all the animals that fall under draconology. If I just study them and educate myself enough, I can educate others and change their minds about dragons.”

Clara sat in silence for a moment, a little stunned by Atticus’s sudden burst of passion. “You’ve been thinking about this for a long while, haven’t you?”

“Of course,” Atticus beamed. “It’s one of those dreams that keeps me up at night. I want to leave the world better then I found it, and I think becoming a draconologist is the best shot I have at doing so.”

“Well, I know you will. And hey, maybe if that doesn’t work out you can come be a professor with me,” Clara said.

“I wouldn’t mind that,” Atticus said softly.

The two stared at each other for a few minutes. It was moments like these that made Clara wonder if Atticus liked her as more than just a friend. That warmth in his eyes when he looked at her. The way he seemed so much more comfortable around her than he did most people. How he smiled at her. But she thought if he did feel that way, he would have said something by now. She certainly wouldn’t mind if he did…

Clara cleared her throat and stood up, brushing herself off. “We should go back inside and get some sleep. Especially you.”

“I suppose so,” Atticus stood up and walked towards the door that led into the apartments. Clara followed quietly. She really hoped Atticus could become a draconologist one day. Perhaps even settle down with a nice lady and raise a family of his own. After the things he had endured for seventeen years, he deserved it.

But as Clara would come to discover years later, fate had different plans.

Author Notes

So yeah, I’ve recently been revisiting The Greatest Showman soundtrack and this particular song has become stuck in my head. I thought the first part fit child Atticus very well. But the rest of the song didn’t fit adult Atticus very well, especially the random woman. But when I thought of TEENAGE Atticus however, it lined up a lot better. So I got some inspiration to write a quick scene about him and Clara. I think the reprise of this song fits very well, but for very different, much sadder reasons down the line.

This takes place the day Atticus and Will left their abusive aunt. It was a very impulsive decision, thus they didn’t have anywhere to go. Except for Atticus’s one friend Clara’s home. Thankfully her parents were very kind and empathetic, especially after hearing their story.

I wanted to really show off how Atticus was before Will died and he was branded as a traitor. He had seen a lot, but he tried to not let that affect him. He remained really optimistic and kind, if not still very shy and reserved. He wanted to make the world a better place, even if he was seen as stupid for it. He’s a good person at heart. But that heart has been broken so many times, it’s hard to see.

Also I thought Clara thinking Atticus had a crush on her would be funny. Like no honey, he gay. You’re just the person he feels safest around besides Will.

And scene. Hope you enjoyed this snippet between my characters. It’s very rough, but I thought it was cute and just had to write it down. Might come back and polish or add to it later.

APÓS O FELIZES PARA SEMPRE (ANTES DA CHEGADA DOS PERDIDOS)…

A dimensão de Nutcracker não fazia parte do Mundo das Histórias antes dos perdidos. Assim como Remy e Linguini, Hércules e Megara, e a família Madrigal, chegaram “do nada” para o resto dos habitantes, e agora compõem a lista de reinos que temos aqui, mas eles acreditam terem estado sempre entre os outros reinos. A versão deles da história depois do felizes para sempre é que haviam conseguido restaurar a dimensão de Nutcracker após o golpe da fada Sugar Plum. Exilaram-na à Malvatopia, tornaram Clara Stahlbaum e o Quebra-Nozes os regentes de Nutcracker, embora Shiver, Hawthorne e Ginger ainda comandassem seus próprios sub-reinos, e viviam prosperamente até os perdidos chegarem e levarem-nos para o Reino dos Perdidos, causando um caos inimaginável na história deles.

UMA NOVA HISTÓRIA (O QUE PODE ACONTECER SE O PROBLEMA DOS PERDIDOS NÃO FOR RESOLVIDO)…

Tudo começou com Marie Stahlbaum, que com a sua imaginação, criou a dimensão de Nutcracker.

Dividida em sete reinos que inspiravam-se em seus brinquedos favoritos da infância (Fada Sugar Plum, dos doces; Mãe Ginger, da diversão; Rei das Flores, Hawthorne; Rei dos Flocos de Neve, Shiver; Princesa dos Cosmos, Celestia e Rainha do Amor, Cupid) a dimensão criada por Marie era um lugar tão cheio de magia e pureza que vivia por conta própria. Não dependia das visitas ou criações de Marie para existir, desenvolvia-se mesmo enquanto a sua criadora estava longe, e prosperava! Sugar Plum cuidava do Reino dos Doces, o principal deles porque era o favorito de Marie; Mãe Ginger cuidava do Reino da Diversão, onde ninguém ficava triste; Rei Hawthorne nutria suas flores em um reino que daria inveja em qualquer amante da natureza; Rei Shiver aquecia o congelante Reino dos Flocos de Neve com o seu carisma; Celestia reinava em seu castelo nas nuvens e entre as estrelas e Cupid distribuía amor em seu reino onde tudo tinha formato de coração e ninguém era solteiro.

Todos os dias eram bons em Nutcracker. Haviam muitas festas e reuniões entre os sete soberanos, e quando Marie ia visitá-los, as celebrações quase não tinham fim! Só que, com o tempo, a criadora daquele lugar passou a vê-los com menos e menos frequência… Havia crescido e tinha responsabilidades de uma adulta fora de Nutcracker; não tinha como passar dias e dias festejando em um mundo da imaginação. Na verdade, até começara a pensar que tudo aquilo não passava de… um sonho.

A última visita de Marie à Nutcracker foi uma despedida, quando ela contou que iria se casar. Depois disso, nunca mais voltou.

Revoltada com o abandono de Marie, a fada dos doces se voltou contra todos os outros regentes por não terem tentado impedir Marie de ir embora — ela havia sido a única que fizera um esforço — e começou, assim, a deteriorar o antes pacífico mundo de Nutcracker. Primeiro, ela acusou Mãe Ginger de ter roubado a chave que era o coração de Nutcracker e mantinha a dimensão pulsando; deu um jeito de incriminá-la e pronto: os outros regentes acreditaram em Sugar Plum e exilaram Ginger e o seu reino, que foi tomado por ratos.

Depois, Sugar Plum deu um jeito de separar a amizade entre Celestia e Hawthorne, criando uma intriga entre os dois monarcas. Foi assim que nunca mais fez noite e nem choveu no Reino das Flores, e ele se tornou árido e infeliz. Como vingança, Hawthorne lançou trepadeiras tão altas e rápidas em direção ao castelo de Celestia que desmontou a construção nas nuvens.

Por último, Shiver e Cupid, acusados de confabularem para tirar Mãe Ginger do exílio, juntaram-se ao grupo de exilados e tiveram seus reinos apodrecidos pelo tempo.

Restou apenas o Reino dos Doces, onde Sugar Plum reinava com sua tirania — Marie nunca mais voltaria, ela poderia fazer o que quisesse.

Foi nesse caos que a bailarina Clara Stahlbaum, a segunda filha de Marie, encontrou a dimensão de Nutcracker durante um Natal que passava na casa de infância da mãe. Ela ganhou um boneco quebra-nozes de presente, e à meia-noite, o boneco criou vida e fez com que Clara o seguisse em direção a um portal mágico, que só abria uma vez no ano, durante o Natal. Ao atravessar o portal, Clara encontrou o boneco em tamanho real e ele se apresentou como um rapaz do exército de Sugar Plum. Ele não tinha nome, então Clara o chamava pelo seu título: Quebra-Nozes. O rapaz era responsável por não deixar que nenhum intruso tentasse atravessar a ponte em direção ao impecável Reino dos Doces, mas quando descobriu que Clara, filha de Marie, estava por ali, correu para vê-la e fingiu ser um presente de Natal. Segundo ele, Clara poderia salvar Sugar Plum de sua amargura e, assim, restaurar Nutcracker.

Na jornada até Sugar Plum, porém, eles encontraram Cupid, que havia conseguido fugir de seu exílio e procurava por Shiver e os outros para que se reunissem outra vez e agissem contra a tirania de Sugar Plum. Quebra-Nozes, embora soldado da fada, apresentou-se como um rebelde e prometeu ajudar, convocando outros dois quebra-nozes, Soldado Noz e Soldada Cracker para ajudá-los. Clara não teve opção: havia parado ali por acidente e precisava sair… E o único jeito de fazer isso seria recuperando a chave-coração que estava sob as garras de Sugar Plum, pois apenas ela poderia criar um portal de volta.

Eles entraram em uma jornada atrás dos outros quatro regentes, lutando contra o Rei Rato que havia tomado conta do Reino da Diversão e mantinha Mãe Ginger como refém; despertando Shiver de derreter-se por completo; removendo Celestia dos destroços de seu castelo e trazendo a chuva de volta para o Reino das Flores, fazendo com que Hawthorne recuperasse sua magia.

Chegaram os seis regentes, Clara e os três soldados no Reino dos Doces, preparados para o combate, no entanto, Sugar Plum já os esperava. Foi então que descobriram que, durante todo aquele tempo, Cupid era uma traidora: ela nunca quis resgatar os outros regentes. A fada dos doces prometera à ela o seu reino de volta se levasse Clara Stahlbaum e os outros direto para a sua armadilha.

Não houve um final feliz para eles. Sugar Plum fez de Clara sua prisioneira por vingança à Marie e usou a chave-coração para transformar os outros regentes, com exceção de sua nova amiga e aliada Cupid, em brinquedos de novo. Os soldados foram mortos e serviram como lição para todos os outros: ninguém que ajudasse uma descendente Stahlbaum no futuro manteria a sua vida.

The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (2018)

[itsawritblr]

For god's sake, if you want to learn how to write well don't read fanfics.

Read Golden Age Detective short stories.

Read Agatha Christie. My god, there's a writer!

Read anthologies of short stories published before 1960.

50 Great Short Stories, edited by Milton Crane.

Read Ray Bradbury, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar Allen Poe, Herman Melville, Charles Dickens, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Jane Austen, and god yes, Shakespeare.

Ever read Letters From the Earth by Mark Twain? About Satan writing to his fellow archangels about the absurdities of God's creation? It was so scandalous Twain's daughter Clara never wanted it to be published. Welp, here's the pdf, you can read it now.

This is one of the most well-written books you'll ever find.

You need a diet of excellent writing. To immerse yourself in the masterly use of the English language.

You don't have to write like them. Your own style will come out. That's what you want, your own authentic voice. But your voice will be all the better for having read excellent work, so you can tell the difference between it and half-assed, lazy writing. Excellent writing resets your brain. You think the best fanfic you ever read was the best thing written. Then you read something with incredible depth and resonance.

Nothing wrong with fanfics. I write them. But nothing on AO3 can match Austen, Fitzgerald, or Shakespeare.

Go to the fucking library and check out books written by the best. Go to a used bookstore and buy cheap but readable books. Savor them. Study them. Reset your brain.

I'm sorry, but if you find anything published before 1960 to be slow, dull, and uninteresting, then I don't think well of your writing without ever having read it.
