I'm currently reading the werewolf by night comics from the early 70s on wards to his current. The way you write Jack is so * chef kiss*

Also can I please give you a cookie for the monster mash series because AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I love it so much 😍😍😍😍😍

🍪

*gobbles the cookie*

Thank you! I read all the WBN comics I could dig up as a kid, well into the early 2000s, but I'm not up to date on the current stuff. (Please tell me what you find that's good!) I do love Jack, though. I love how the special made him so much kinder and more awkward, and how it emphasized a kind of monster solidarity between Jack and Ted that Jack immediately extended to Elsa. And making Jack Mexican and so much older works so well on so many levels even before you get to the specific casting of Gael. I had given the special a pass at first because I was so burned out after Endgame, but I saw a YouTube retrospective on it a year after it aired and was like ummmm I think I need this. I've been going through a hard time personally, so getting to escape into Monster Mash has been a real blessing for me.

There is more Monster Mash coming, I promise! I'm working on the next installment, which will feature the gang investigating a supposedly haunted house.

Also, I'm hoping to start doing some free writing seminars/jam sessions on Twitch soonish, with a focus on lessons that are fun and helpful for fanfic writers as well as original fiction writers. I have a master's degree in writing and have taught it for 15 years or so, and it annoys me that people are using AI to write fic, so I'm hoping to be the change. If you're interested in writing or know anyone who is, feel free to invite them! And of course I'm always happy to get suggestions for lesson topics.

Hi! I really liked your fic The Time of the Young (https://archiveofourown.org/works/54566476). I was wondering if you would make another part of this story, and if not can you maybe point out some headcanons of Rhaenyra and Samwell marriage, I mean like will they be happy together, are they having children and what are their names, I'm so silly for this ))) Also, will there be Dance of the dragons or not,

Anyway thank you so much for this story, I reeeeeeaaaaaaaaly loved it 😚😍😘

Hey! Im really glad you like it. I think the dance of the dragons, its inevitable, so all of my fics in that series do lead up to that :( They are all one-shots, but I never discard the idea of writing maybe two/three parts

These are my headcanons for Samwell and Rhaenyra's marriage:

-They have their first daughter Visella, way too early. Rhaenyra gets pregnant on their wedding night, and Visella is a premature baby, leading to rumors that Rhaenyra is not a maiden and that Visella is technically a bastard.

-Rhaenyra realizes she does love Samwell, when she goes to take Visella on her first ride on Syrax, mere days after her birth and he does not protest. He just replies that he knows she will never put their child in danger and she has his full trust in knowing what is best, and Rhaenyra just goes "shit, I love him"

-Samwell has loved her ever since she defended him to the court. It "he fell first, she fell harder"

-They put out having their second child, just because they get really into having their own time together and managing politics in court. They have their second child, Rhaegal, five years after Visella.

-Visella is a very serious and dutiful child. Viserys says she resembles his aunt Gael, in the sense that she is pale and small, but she has big dark eyes like her paternal grandmother. Really into the weirdwood, so there are some rumors that she is a witch. Hatches Vermax. She wants to be like her aunt Alyssanne when she grows up.

-Rhaegal is the king's favorite, Rhaenyra even believes she loves him, more than her. He is very sensible, and is nicknamed around the court as "little shadow" because he is always silent and trailing behind Viserys . They spent most of their time reading about Valyria, and building the model. There are rumors, that he will be placed above his sister regarding inheritance, but that never happens. He does not hatch a dragon, and instead claims one.

-They have a third child, I have not decided on a name, but he/she is born around the time that Laena passes away, and we get to driftmark

𝑾𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒃𝒆 𝒎𝒚 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆?

Time to spread some love all over Simblr 😍

If you would like to know my characters please keep on reading under the pictures:

𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲:

Gen. 1:

𝑻𝒐𝒑 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕: Björn Out and Cecilia Kang; the founders of my legacy, when they were still young and even before they got married.

Gen. 3:

𝑻𝒐𝒑 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕: Gael and Emilia Out. Their children are supposed to be the main characters of my soon starting Gen. 4. They are both spellcasters.

𝑩𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒎 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕: Evangeline and Nathanael Out. Nathanael is Emilia's twin brother and they're grandchildren of Björn. Nathanael and Evangeline are both human.

𝑩𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒎 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕: Tristan and Alice Kingsleigh. Tristan is the older brother of Evangeline and the siblings are children of Caleb Vatore. So they were both vampires but Evangeline surrendered being a vampire for Nathanael whereas Tristan might never do so. Alice is a witch just like the Kingsleigh women before her.

𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼:

Gen. 2

𝑻𝒐𝒑 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕: Takumi Holland and Runa Out. Runa's story was the common thread of Gen. 2. Runa and Takumi are the parents of Nathanael and Emilia and the adoptive parents of Gael. Runa was my first spellcaster within the story and that was by chance - that's at least what is known so far ...

𝑩𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒎 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕: Mamoru and Siri Out. Mamoru is Takumi's twin whereas Siri is Runa's. Siri and Runa are the biological children of Björn, but not of Cecilia. Björn had a fling with the mother of the girls shortly before he met Cecilia. But since their mother couldn't take care of them, they grew up with Björn and Cecilia from early age on.

𝑻𝒐𝒑 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕: Tarje and Fiona Out. Tarje is Siri's and Runa's younger brother. Especially Fiona had to struggle a lot until she got her happily ever after with Tarje.

𝑴𝒊𝒅𝒅𝒍𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕: Eilin Out and Anjuli Watson. Eilin is Tarje's twin (yes, a lot of twins here 🤭) and they're children of Björn and Cecilia. Eilin had a fling with Anjuli's older brother Kiran and fell in love with Anjuli later on. Anjuli and Kiran are grandchildren of EA premade family Watson.

𝑩𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒐𝒎 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕: Hayate and Brianna Holland. Hayate is the younger brother of Takumi and Mamoru and he's also a twin. But I never played his twin sister Yukiko much, so 👀🤷🏻‍♀️ ... Brianna is Fionas older sister, she's a bit aloof and intellectual but fell in love with Hayate after a longer time of penpalship and after Hayate discovered her love for music. Hayate is concert pianist and violinist.

𝗦𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲:

Just a bonus, because I like it 🙂 And because the other one is a bit too small and dark. Again Runa, Takumi and Runa's familiar Brân.

Btw if someone needs such a pose for the cauldron, just take one for a counter. I did that in this case and as you can see it fits perfectly 🙂

Bad Movie Decisions

Old (2021l

Okay, let's watch this bitch. May contain spoilers for the 2021 M. Night Shyamalan film, Old.

04:13 These kids had better get old fast. That's the whole premise, right? If Big was a horror film and actually engaged with the fact it unwittingly made a pedophile of the female lead?

05:59 They're on a beach. Maybe the Beach That Makes People Old. Which, as I understand from the trailer, is what this film is actually about. (I was joking about the Big thing, although it is horrific if you stop and think about it).

06:38 Patented Shyalaman approach to characterisation there - have two kids go and ask everyone their name and occupation.

10:07 Why is this dude wearing sunglasses at night?

10:19 Abbey Lee 😍

11:38 The sunken-eyed resort manager wants a troubled family to get in a van to a secret beach that he describes as "an anomaly". I'm sure this is fine.

14:38 M. Night is the van driver. Abort! ABORT!!!

18:35 The rapper's eyes are gonna have rotted out of his head when he takes the sunglasses off. Calling it.

21:30 Hmm, she's dead, but she's not... Old 🤔

21:43 The rapper still has eyes. Very disappointed. He does have a nosebleed, but very tame compared to my headcannon.

22:51 Grandma's surely gonna cark it next, even though it'd make more sense for it to be Gustave the Yorkshire Terrier.

31:29 Rufus Sewell plays this same arsehole in everything and I'm okay with that.

32:54 The "stay in pairs in case anyone blacks out" plan is going really well.

39:51 Looks like we're going to be treated to some impromptu beach surgery. My favourite.

42.39 The plot points this guy will use to avoid an R rating. Incredible.

45:10 If everything is undone when they finally find a way back through the timey wimey cave, I'm gonna throw shit.

46:56 The rapper has already been here hours longer than the others, surely? Was he a fucking child when he arrived? This film makes no sense!

51:24 This cast is too good for this.

1:08:03 I hope I look as good at 70 as half these people apparently do.

1:13:57 Why hadn't anyone just clubbed Charles over the fucking head by this point? Why is he still being given free rein to stab everyone up?!

1:14:51 Why is everyone behaving like Charles is some unkillable Jason Vorhees maniac when he's just a confused, rapidly-ageing surgeon with a teeny tiny knife?!

1:17:41 "SUBTEXT IS FOR COWARDS!" screams Shyalaman, taking off his shirt to reveal a tattoo of Robert McKee's face.

1:21:23 Make-up department: "All right, so did you want Gael to be bald or go grey or what?"

Shyalaman: What? EWWW! No, gross. Just a few cute wrinkles and that's it. We don't want him to look DISGUSTING!

Make-up: But grey hair is a natural part of-

Shyalaman: *covering ears and screaming*

1:24:08 Genuinely, what does the resort get out of this? I get that there's some vague hand-wavy stuff towards it being a scientific study but to what end?

1:25:42 He definitely thinks this sand castle scene is profound.

1:31:22 My question still stands. This is not how you science. This would not stand up as viable fast-tracking ANYWHERE.

1:40:18 HOW IS THIS STILL NOT OVER?!

1:41:23 Finally.

Elsa Bloodstone: Someone will die...

Jack Russell: *pops out from behind a bush* ...of fun!

Thank you so much for telling me about it!!! And if at any time you're like, man, I need someone to rant at about my WIPs, consider my inbox always open!!

Request: tell me everything about the fantasy series with Miles and Kyelle in it, please?

*runs around my house like a maniac screaming*

Thank you so much for asking!!! Okay, I’m still going to try not to go into TOO much detail here, because this is about nine years worth of lore I’ve built up here, but I’ll at least give you what I have planned for the first book because it’s what I have the most planned out 😁

(Okay, um, I accidentally wrote WAY more than I thought I would, I apologize aaaaaaaaah)

So, in this universe, the God-figure, the Author, created three different peoples, who inhabit the earth, the sky, and space respectively. (These peoples will have names, but the only one I’ve come up with is the Caelarians, which are the Sky people.) They existed in harmony in the beginning, but after awhile the space peoples, often informally referred to as the Illusionists due to their ability to manipulate people’s perception of reality (this sounds a little bit like TLC on paper, I promise it isn’t lol), grew jealous of the earth peoples for a myriad of reasons, and have been trying to invade for thousands of years by the time the story begins. The Caelarians act as the last line of defense for the earth, and in order to protect it, cut off all contact and travel between the two realms, and thus knowledge of the sky and space peoples faded into obscurity and myth. Caelaria as a culture becomes very defined by its role as protector and defender. Also, instead of every person being born with some latent ability, like the Illusionists, Caelarians have a handful of people born every generation born with a Gift—some sort of miraculous ability that can aid the kingdom.

So, with all that lore out of the way, about ten years before our story picks up, Caelaria is in a period of peace, and has been for the past few hundred years. The king has two children: a daughter named Firaine, and a son named Gywair. However, ascension works a little differently in Caelaria: the firstborn, before being officially named as heir, has to undergo a series of semi-mystical trials that test their character and ability to lead. If they fail, they are passed over for the crown, and then the next child (or the closest kin) undergoes the Trials. If the heir apparent fails, they are named High Prince/Princess and still hold a position of renown within the court, acting as the monarch’s closest advisor. Furthermore, every generation a child is born who is destined to become the king or queen’s Guardian, a warrior sworn to protect their monarch with their life. When the child in question is around five or six, a Guardian’s Mark appears on their skin (no clue what this is gonna look like yet), and the child is brought to the palace immediately to be trained and raised alongside the monarch-to-be in question. Kellen is Firaine’s Guardian, and has lived in the palace with the prince and princess nearly his whole life.

When Firaine undergoes the trials, she fails, and thus Gywair undergoes them (even though he kind of loathes the idea of ruling), and succeeds. (Kellen thus becomes his Guardian instead, which is just as soul-wrecking as you would expect.) He becomes king a few years later when their father unexpectedly dies. The current Illusionist emperor sees an opportunity here—being possibly one of the most powerful Illusionists ever to be born, he possesses the ability to cast illusions over his appearance (which most illusionists cannot do), and murders and replaces a Caelarian duke named Aphelion. He then courts and wins the hand of Firaine, and then encourages her jealousy of her brother, eventually manipulating her into planning a coup to seize power. Their plan was to take advantage of a loophole in the rules of ascendancy—if the monarch is dying, they may bestow the kingship on whoever they wish, via giving them their scepter, a weapon of great power.

The coup goes off without a hitch at first—Aphelion sneaks Illusionist warriors into the palace and they suddenly attack during a meeting the Gywair was having with his advisors. Everyone in the room is killed (including seemingly Aphelion, though of course, that’s a ruse) except for Firaine and Kellen (who is not dead but grievously wounded). Firaine holds her dying brother in her arms, expecting him to pass on the kingship to her—but to her shock, he realizes her deception in his last moments, and dies without passing on his scepter to anyone.

Meanwhile, as all of this is happening, a young mother suddenly finds that her six-year-old son, Gael (a main character! Finally!) has had the Guardian’s mark appear on his shoulder, and thus brings him to the palace to be presented to the king. However, as the king’s council is in session, Gael is instead first brought to meet his future monarch—the little princess Estella, Gywair’s daughter (our main main character!). Aphelion and Firaine had accounted for Estella, of course—they manipulated the princess’s nursemaid, Coriander, into bringing Estella to them when the time was right. However, when the time comes she has a crisis of morals, and instead of taking the princess to Aphelion, she takes both Estella and Gael and runs.

Aphelion, furious at Firaine’s failure, attempts to pick up the scepter himself—but, as a defense mechanism, the power of the scepter rejects him immediately and instantly warps him and the other Illusionists out of Caelaria and down to earth.

…however, unfortunately, this also zaps every single other person in Caelaria down to earth with no way to get back.

Coriander, finding herself suddenly zapped to an unfamiliar land with two panicky six year olds, certain that she’ll be caught and killed for her betrayal, uses her Gift to manipulate memories to erase Estella and Gael’s memory of their previous lives and identities to protect them, and then leaves them in two separate orphanages in a nearby city where she hopes they’ll be safe. (Unfortunately they are not.) She is then unfortunately captured by the Illusionists and her fate is unknown.

And that’s where our story picks up! (Yeah, that…that was just the background. Why am I like this.) We follow a now sixteen year old amnesiac Estella, going by the name Dulce, living on the streets as a street musician. She’s had a very rough and lonely upbringing, but is finally found by her grandfather (her mother’s father) who has been searching for her this entire time, and is brought to the Haven, a remnant of Caelarians hiding out in the ruins of a forest city. Her grandfather runs into Gael quite by accident looking for Estella—who has been having an equally rough time, having been sold into slavery, and being sold from master to master due to how stubborn and rebellious he is—and brings him with them, having no idea that he is Estella’s Guardian, but recognizing him as Caelarian.

They then meet Kyelle at the Haven, who you’ve heard about, and they also meet Sage (MY BELOVED). I accidentally made him way too much like me, he’s the resident bookworm, a couple years younger than the others, and pretty shy. They also come to find out that he is Coriander’s son, and has inherited some of her gift—he is able to dream other people’s memories. This ability isn’t voluntary, it happens on its own, which can be a bit of a burden, but it comes in handy in helping Estella and Gael reclaim their lost memories.

Miles gets introduced here too, although he doesn’t have a major role in this first story. He’s actually a triplet; he has a brother named Ammil and a sister named Rowan. They are all wildly different from each other, which is really entertaining, and the three of them have grown up with Kyelle and Sage. Miles and Estella become quick friends over their shared love of music (Miles plays mandola), and he introduces her to his siblings, who are also musicians.

The story then follows Estella and Gael as they go on a quest to figure out how to get back to Caelaria. Kyelle comes along due to her resourcefulness, and Sage comes to aid the recovery of their memories along the way in case they remember something important (despite his lack of combat ability). Along the way they slowly find out all the above background information, how the coup happened, etc.

Gael’s Guardian abilities begin to come to light along the way, though he has no idea what’s going on (I’m thinking that they, along with everyone’s Gifts, have been dulled by their time away from Caelaria, and thus you can’t see the mark on his shoulder). A Guardian has the ability to sense when their monarch is in immediate danger (Gael often describes it as a ringing, buzzing sensation at the base of his skull), and they gain superhuman strength and reflexes for the duration of the time the monarch is in danger. You know how mothers in extreme situations have been known to be able to lift cars off of their trapped child due to adrenaline? It’s like that, but on steroids.

Estella and Gael are my main ship—I am insane about them and could talk about them for eons—they have a very deep bond and are extremely overprotective of each other (which causes some problems later on but that’s another story), but are both unwilling to voice their feelings for various reasons. They’re infuriating and I love them 😂

Kellen also shows up again later and becomes a mentor of sorts for both Estella (as her father’s best friend) and Gael (as the last Guardian)—however, having his king die in front of him and failing in his role was an extremely traumatic experience, and it’s a miracle that the sudden severing of the bond between him and Gywair didn’t shatter his mind.

And finally, I mentioned Hevel in my oc’s, but he doesn’t actually show up in this first story. He’s the son of Aphelion and Firaine that no one ever knew existed—and is thus both Estella’s cousins and technically the prince of the Illusionist realm. As a half-Caelarian half-Illusionist, he has no ability to create Illusions—however, he does have the Gift (although he’s more likely to call it a curse) of not being able to see Illusions at all. He’s thus shunned by his society as a whole and most pretend he doesn’t exist at all, including his father. He eventually joins Estella’s side.
