Now there will be no more half-truths, Terrestrius. What truths have I left out? What you taught those people was dark magic. You didn't save them. You corrupted them. You call it corruption. I call it compromise. There is great affinity between your brother and I. Callum sees the world as I do, understands the need for compromise. Very soon, your brother will embrace dark magic to save those he loves. Oh? I suppose you've seen that written in the stars? No, no. I have seen it written in his eyes.

Writing Notes: Theme

Theme - the main or central idea in a literary work.

It is the unifying element of a story.

A theme is not a summary of characters or events.

Rather, it is the controlling idea or central insight of the story.

Determining Theme

A theme does not have to be moral.

Ask, What does this story reveal? not What does this story teach?

Determine what the story's central purpose is, what view of life it supports, or what insight into life it reveals.

Creating a Theme

The theme is comprised of both a topic and an assertion about the topic.

To create a theme, you must add an assertion.

Example of topic: "Joseph Conrad's 'Youth' is about enthusiasm of youth."

Example of theme: "The enthusiasm of youth lends glamour and romance to hardship, danger, and calamity in Joseph Conrad's 'Youth'."

NOTE: It is common for students and instructors to refer to certain themes in general terms, leaving out the specific assertion. Some of these general themes are:

Love and death

Appearance vs. reality

Journey of self-discovery

Loss of innocence or coming of age

Journey or quest

Oedipus complex

Individual vs. society

Fate

While all of the above are valid concepts of theme, be sure to add your specific assertion.

Guidelines for Understanding Theme

Consider how certain literary elements in a work (imagery, setting, character, etc.) contribute to the main idea.

The central idea in a story reflects the author's views of life, and these views will entail an emphasis on certain values.

Keep in mind each of the 3 areas integral to theme:

Human condition. What facet of the human condition is the author concerned with?

Author's particular views on the human condition. What is the author saying about the human condition?

Universal truths. Discuss how or why the author's ideas about an aspect of life aspire to a universal truth. Remember that a "truth" is an idea believed by many people.

Examine appropriate "-isms." Many writers are associated with certain literary movements, and these movements often provide clues to theme.

Some of the more prominent movements and ideas in literature are:

Platonism

Transcendentalism

Humanism

Realism

Primitivism

Naturalism

Romanticism

Existentialism

Marxism

Feminism

New Criticism

New Historicism

When Writing about Theme

Try to write the theme in one sentence.

Theme should be expressible in the form of a statement with a subject and a verb. The theme must be a statement about the topic.

Avoid any statement that reduces the theme to some familiar saying. For example, "You can't judge a book by its cover."

There is no one right way of stating the theme of a story.

The theme should be stated as a generalization.

You should not use the names of the characters or refer to precise places or events.

Don't just summarize the plot, events, or characters.

Be careful not to exaggerate the generalization. Terms like every, all, and always should be used cautiously.

Dark Cacao Cookie but he's a spirit in Sky: CotL Purple light my beloved. Giving him white hair with black streaks instead of the opposite felt strange but the spirits in sky just are like that I suppose.

I was joking when I called him a sage of the purple light but it's growing on me and I don't know how to feel about that.

Cut together from multiple videos because my internet kept dying in the wee hours.

Displays only the main index and bookmark index due to them being fully complete, the bookmark main page and chapter main index are also complete, just less interesting to show off. Also showing only the light skin (Epipelagic) since that's easier to work with due to my astigmatism, multiple dark modes will be released alongside it.

Works wholly within the AO3 system, bar some alignment that's accomplished with a stylus compatibility layer because AO3 still doesn't accept calc(). This is only needed on PC and will be included during the installation steps for you. (And, honestly, it still looks fine if you decide not to add it.)

Basically, what you see here is what you get. An AO3 rebuilt entirely from the ground up.

Edit: It's also WCAG AA and AAA compliant.

Hi I love your work! I looked through your masterlist and didn’t see any so do you have any thunderstorm themed dividers?

Again I did look but I’m blind so if I didn’t see them I’m sorry.

Hii! I don’t have anything for thunderstorms yet but I appreciate you looking 💗 I’m experimenting with animated stuff a bit so I hope you don’t mind I used your request for it. Thanks for the for the kind words! 🩵🌸

"Little pockets of warmth: a sip of calm, the scent of something sweet simmering on the stove, petals pressed like memories, and the comfort of soft yarn and purring companions. Life feels fuller in the smallest of moments, where simplicity meets magic."

The theme that always resonates me the most in stories is "the world is cruel; therefore I won't be."
