AU where the Grace kids are Black but they're still their canon ages and involved in the canon plot

I honestly think one of my favourite parts of reading the Evillious novels has been watching mothy evolve as a writer.

He said that Story of Evil was the first thing he ever wrote and you can clearly see it. His strengths in character writing and setting and overall plot can't really mask a lack of technical skill. The first books in the series have very inconsistent pacing with huge moments of plot surrounded by Not Much and the style is just bland. But then you get to see him grow and experimenting with more complex stories and even different genres sometimes. By the time you reach Judgement of Corruption, the pacing issues are practically gone, the book is easier to read, and so many characters are having such engaging arcs. It's not telling a story to support a series of songs anymore, it's writing.

I just finished Crime and I was GRIPPED the entire time. The build-up of tension was so good and the plot felt very carefully constructed.

Idk, it just makes me happy to see a writer grow

"Hateful day when I received life!" I exclaimed in agony. "Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?"

My 2024 board

As this year has come to an end, I just wanna be grateful to Allah as He blessed me with the things I might not even deserve.This year was my year and wasn't mine either in different ways. I learnt a lot,made new friends,worked on myself, and enjoyed a lot with my family. I realised how privileged I'm to be living such a luxurious life and I'm forever grateful for it. I wanna welcome next year with the hope of being a better version of myself
