mysaria crying over the fact that she doesn’t know why shes crying is so.. and rhaenyra trying to comfort her im going to fling myself into the SUN. ALSO. mysaria sleeping fully snuggled ontop of rhaenyra like NOWWW i need to know all their preferred sleeping positions esp since rhaenyra is a space heater

Happy to indulge…

-Rhaenyra is usually the big spoon but she has her moments where she’s feeling vulnerable and will allow side cuddles from Mysaria.

-Mysaria likes to listen to Rhaenyra’s heartbeat when she’s feeling anxious or overwhelmed, so she’ll sleep on Rhaenyra’s chest to tune out the noise in her head.

-If the two are feeling particularly affectionate, they will sleep face to face, sharing the same air. Usually, sometime during the night, Mysaria ends up nuzzling Rhaenyra’s neck because she likes the way Rhaenyra smells and Rhaenyra may bury her nose in Mysaria’s hair because she also likes the way Mysaria smells.

Over time, they find that they cannot sleep without the other present. (Because the gay forces are too strong)

[alwri-tes]

As someone who never watched magical girl animes as a kid, is it weird to admit that Night of the Blue Moon made me nostalgic for something I've never actually experienced?

[alinacapellabooks]

Interesting ask, but I’ll bite:

Kunio: Yes to both. But no more than two beers because I know that I couldn’t beat him in a drinking contest if I tried. He has an alcohol tolerance that’s higher than Wiz Khalifa, unlike me

Nathaniel: No and yes, in that order, but only because I’d feel bad drinking in front of someone who cannot drink alcohol for health reasons

Ariel: Yes to both. She is one of the most trustworthy people you could ever want to meet, and if you tell her a secret, she will take it to the grave

Solana: Yes to both. Again, she’s one of the most trustworthy people you could ever want to meet, and she’s really sweet and caring. She’s very much the cool big sis type

Pamela (MC of Blood On A Yellow Rose, which will be my next release after NOTBM): Yes and no in that order. Pamela is great fun to party with, and she’ll hook you up with any recreational substance you could want, but I wouldn’t trust her with a puppy. Despite being a doctor, she’s nowhere near responsible enough to care for anything but herself in her spare time

Zinnia: Yes to both. She loves to party, and she’s very much a dog person

Which of your OCs would pass the test @the-golden-comet @gioiaalbanoart?

Writers or other OC creators, I’m dying to know… which of your characters would and wouldn’t pass the “two beers and a puppy” test?

NIGHT OF THE BLUE MOON IS ON SALE NOW!

That's right folks, my sapphic urban fantasy novel about magical girls who get their powers from the Greek gods is on sale on Amazon now, and you can read the first few chapters for free! If you're in the market for an urban fantasy novel featuring a sun/moon ship, and a friends to lovers romance, be sure to grab a copy! Synopsis below:

Some people live double lives. Ariel Gianapoulou lives a triple life.

By day, she’s a meek, unassuming nobody who lives alone in a messy apartment. On the internet, she’s SeleneDev, the smash-hit indie game developer whose RPGs about magical girls have taken the world by storm. By night, she’s Blue Moon, a magical girl chosen by the titan Phoebe to retrieve Hades’s bracelet from Orpheus and Eurydice, supervillains who are killing people in the hopes of buying their son, Brooklyn, back from the dead. Aided by her partner, Red Sun, Ariel will stop at nothing to defeat the villainous duo. Ariel knows better than anyone that Brooklyn doesn’t deserve a second chance at life—Three years ago, he raped her at a party, and crushed her dreams of becoming a police officer.

There are a lot of people on Orpheus’s hit-list, and things get especially complicated when Ariel’s crush, Solana, turns out to be one of the people he wants dead. Will Ariel be able to stop Orpheus and Eurydice, win Solana’s heart, and keep her triple life secret?

Oh, and if that hasn’t sold you, here’s some other things about it that might appeal to you. My book features:

-An asexual protagonist, and a graysexual love interest. That’s right, we have a sapphic ace4ace romance! -Sun/Moon ship

-Friends to lovers

-Slow burn romance

-Adult magical girls dealing with adult problems

-An Easter egg for those of you who read my previous book, The Tengu And The Angel in chapter one! (BTW that one’s a gay friends to lovers romance featuring two troubled nerds falling in love, with vignettes inspired by Japanese mythology at the end of each chapter. You can find it on the pinned link in my profile!)

Saz we need to talk about this chapter.

OK, i teared up several times. I mean like legit, when Mysaria was thinking about how Rhaenyra reacted when she found out and how the baby might put her position in jeopardy and she told the baby "i want you even if the realm doesnt" like hello?? Are you kidding me? Also did Rhaenyra ride there on horseback to get her girl back?? That was so sexy of her NGL but then the conversation they had about why they chose one another had me gagged then the hot sex like, wtf. Couldnt breathe, need a trigger warning to drink water next time. Then, the DRAGON DREAM, cause thats what it had to have been, so im flat out asking, is Mysaria going to become a Dragon rider??? Did the baby do that?? Then, Criston fucking Cole still being alive and stirring shit up in Dorne and only MYSARIA coming to the correct conclusion?? Like you have me so ready to be your sugar person to fund your next pay check so you can just stay home and give us the entire fucking fic!! Lastly, i adore the way you use High Valyrian, its so immersive and i love that this is how Rhaenyra and Mysaria really convey their emotions and connect to each other! A million kudos!

Oh my, I am so humbled by this. Especially about the needing a water trigger warning because lol. But, regarding the dragon dream, yes it was Mysaria dreaming and yes I plan to make her an official dragon rider outside of what she already does with Rhaenyra. Is her pregnancy the cause of this? Strong maybe. I’m glad you like my use of Valyrian because I love the language so being able to implement as a way to tell Rhaesaria’s story is a plus for me. Thank you so much for your comments!

[alinacapellabooks]

So this is the design I ended up choosing for my cover. The other sketches were gorgeous, but this one fit the vibe of the story best, so I had to go ahead with this one. I can't wait for the finished result!!

My girlies are looking gorgeous already! Sketch by Kiseeki on Fiverr

[alinacapellabooks]

I’d want to be Phoebe because I’d be a several thousand year old titan, older and more knowledgeable than any of the gods, and I’d have the ability to see into the future ^_^

guys if your wip were to be made into a movie/play/tv series and you could star in it. who would you play and why?

[sazernac]

Chapter 2 sneak peak??

— Night of the blood moon — (for reference)

—

She felt Rhaenyra’s fingers lightly pressing under her chin, tilting the Lyseni’s head up towards her.

“That is not how I see you Mysaria.” The queen stated, eyes boring into her own. “You stopped being a whore long ago, when you began trading in the secrets of men for gold instead of your body and you became worthy of me the day you decided to save my life rather than board a ship to Essos, leaving me to my fate…”

“I could never have done that Rhaenyra-.”

“Yes, you could’ve-.”

“Not after you had given me my freedom.” Mysaria implored, eyes stinging from unshed tears. “You could’ve held me as your captive out of spite, for my own association with the Greens or even Daemon for that matter…but you didn’t Rhaenyra, despite all the reasons you had to do the opposite, you chose to free me and you…you just don’t know what that meant to me…what you mean to me…”

“I could say the same.” The dragon queen stated, wiping away the tears now trailing freely down Mysaria’s cheeks with her thumbs, a blazing storm swirling in the depths of her lilac eyes. “I don’t think you truly know what you mean to me Mysaria…”

“Rhaenyra…”

“Let me show you.”

[alinacapellabooks]

I decided to get myself a paperback copy of my sapphic urban fantasy romance novel, Night Of The Blue Moon, just because I could. I love the detail of the ribbon on the back ^_^

Oh, and if you’d also like to get yourself a paperback copy of my sapphic urban fantasy romance novel, you can get one right now on Amazon! If you’re into magical girls and Greek mythology, and you’re looking for a book with an ace4ace main couple, my book has all of those things and more!

[sazernac]

“Mysaria did not mind, she loved that Rhaenyra needed to touch her, seeking contact to ground herself from the whirlwind of their lives and to assure herself that both she and the babe were fine.”

okay why does this make me feel things saz!

🥰, Writing it made me feel things too anon. Very warm and fuzzy things.

[alinacapellabooks]

Thanks for the tag! Ariel’s stepping up to the plate for this one, as NOTBM is coming out very soon ^_^

Joy:

“Yeah, he’s perfect for my collection!” she giggled happily.

Anger:

“Quiet,” Ariel shot back, “Give back Anargyros's torch, now. If you do not cooperate, I will show you no mercy.”

Sadness:

Tears were streaming down her stony face, and the look in her eyes was one of betrayal, like she’d broken some unspoken rule between them.

Anxiety:

Ariel drummed her free hand on the windowsill as she thought of what to do. If she called the police, they wouldn’t get here in time. It only took a second to stab someone to death, so it was up to her to save Solana.

Fear:

Blue Moon’s lips trembled. “No, no, no, you can’t”--

Embarrassment:

Ariel’s face went bright red, and she had a blue screen of death look in her eyes. “I, uh…Thanks…” she fumbled out, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, “You, uh…You are…You look cute, too…”

Disgust:

“I don’t like coffee, and I hate tea, aside from matcha,” she responded, “I don’t like bitter things.”

Tagging @mundanemoongirl + open tag!

RANGE of EMOTIONS tag game

Tagged by my beloveds @tragedycoded HERE 💖 AND @the-golden-comet HERE 💖 and shoutout to @diabolical-blue for this game ✨✨)

Rules: Choose one OC at a time, search any of your writing featuring that OC, and share passages where that character expresses each emotion in this list: joy - anger - sadness - anxiety - fear - disgust - embarrassment. Bonus points if the emotion is implied but not listed in the text by name. If there’s a reason the character does not ever express one of those emotions, feel free to share that reasoning instead.

I'll go with Ashley Knox from my wip The scarred angel

(hopefully she'll be keen to collaborate ...😒... Also : TSA being in the first arc/zero draft I managed a bit)

Posting with some Ashley's art video of me playing with IbisPaint rather than writing👇, emotions and tags under the cut.

JOY (well...kind of)

When Ashley and Amy stop a few feet from the group the shorter of them which might be also the younger, jumps on his feet : "Ashley!" he shouts, clearly happy to see her. Which to Amy feels unexpected and strangely nice at the same time. Even more when she catches the glimpse of sudden softness that crosses Ashley's eyes, a flickering thing that for a moment changes her whole face expression and has the power to enraptures Amy. "Hi Ninjo, you good?" even her voice sounds different.

ANGER (Oh.....I have plenty of this 😅)

Breath is too labored now, every cell in her body start screaming, Amy's petrified. She catches a swift movement out of the corner of her eye, something slotting between her and the looming mass of the man. Not something. Someone. Shielding her. "Piss the fuck off!" Ashley hisses, the buzz in Amy's ears still loud enough that she barely grab the words. The sudden intrusion and Ashley's murderous gaze get the man to stumble as he's forced back on his feet, a bulky hand grasping the edge of the counter to stabilize himself when the stool waver under his weight and falls on the floor.

SADNESS (I had to borrow this one from chief Herrera, he talks to Amy about how Ashley got her scars)

He frowns : "I was there when the doctors toke the bandages off." "By then I kind of knew so I asked her, at first, if I could stay. Incredible enough, she said yes" Herrera's face twitches : "It was a shocking sight". "I bet it was" I breath out. "Even more shocking was to see her letting a single tear roll, just one. Then she stared at the mirror the nurse gave her eyes dry and cold. I couldn't believe it." He leans against the backrest : "I didn't know what to say to the girl, so....I said nothing."

ANXIETY

Problem is, she's not fucking alone and.... Anxious. The awareness makes her anxious. Usually a feeling related with being trapped or in danger, and now hit her with a brand new flavor that she can't quite place yet but it's unwelcome, no doubt. And it's pure frustration coming from that thought that fuels the next push upwards despite the unstable edging climbing hold.

FEAR (not so much...she'll have plenty later 😬)

"I'm right here!" Ashley tries to reassure while keeping an eye to the hesitant descent which makes her edgy already . The earthly scent is thick, too strong to define as petrichor. The air pressure difference is already noticeable and it will be even more so as they'll head deeper into the narrow passage. Ashley considers this tunnel a short one but she's aware that perceptions vary and she eagerly hopes that the girl will manage to keep up. Amy. The girl's name is Amy. Ashley frowns at herself as she awaits, would tap her foot already if it wasn't for the mud sticking beneath her boots.

DISGUST

Between broken words Jonas is panting : "Ludo was pissed because Enrique came in late, his girl fault, drives him nuts....They had to take off in a rush...." "Just the two of them went in? " "Yeah...Ludo and Enrique ...Just the two of them. It was suppose to be an easy job....." Ashley scoffs clearly in disgust : "Easy uhu? You assholes...." "Girl you know how it is...." Ashley snaps : "Man only thing I know is you're lucky I'm not kicking your ass to bleed right now".

EMBARRASSMENT - (I think I never shared this one.... this is even BEFORE draft zero....hope it will last editing 🤞)

"Are you leaving....?" Amy can't help but asking. "I'm just passing through" Ashley averts a direct answer. "Where?.." Ashley stops and narrows her eyes like she' contemplates's contemplating on her : "Can't tell you that, I don’t know if you can keep up with tortures!" Amy gasps. Ashley frowns : "Sorry" her voice trails off......

Cover Update! ^-^

My artist just shared with me the flat colour for my book cover, and of course I had to share it with you guys, because it's been coming along great in every stage of its development. His idea to add a ribbon around Blue Moon and Red Sun was genius, and it looks gorgeous. We are now, at the very most, one week away from the full cover reveal, and the official release of Night Of The Blue Moon! Art by Kiseeki:

Thanks for the tag! I’m gonna do something a little different, and share snippets from two different WIPs. First of all, my next-to-be released novel, Blood On A Yellow Rose:

Zinnia looks down at the floor. “I don’t know. I’ve never had to sing any happy songs before,” she sighed, “Bea and I never used to sing happy songs together. I didn’t have much to be happy about, until you came along.”

She shakes her head. “I’m sorry, this is dumb and irrelevant, isn’t it? If I can’t be happy for real, then I need to learn how to sing like I’m happy,” she says, “So, how can I sing like I’m happy?”

I shake my head. “No, what you’re saying isn’t dumb or irrelevant. You’ve just told me what the problem is.”

She raises an eyebrow. “What?”

“You can’t sing happy songs because you don’t know what it’s like to be happy,” I respond, “So, we need to find something that makes you happy. Something you can channel into your singing.”

And now, a snippet from Night Of The Justified Deaths (I wrote this in a burst of mildly inebriated creative frenzy the other night, so I cannot guarantee the quality of it):

Hades shot her a piercing gaze. “You remember what I told you when we first met, don’t you, Red Sun?”

“Don’t have mercy on your enemies, because they won’t have mercy on you?” she offered.

“Good girl,” he chuckled dryly, “Remember that, and take it to heart when we’re fighting against Zeus. Though he is my younger brother, the fact remains that he is our enemy now, and we must stop him at all costs.”

Solana shook at the revelation that Zeus was the younger brother, but made no comment on it. “Right.”

Nine Line and Last Line Tag

Thank you @drchenquill for tagging me in both these games. So, I am gonna combine both of them.

Though, this is more than nine but whatever. A few paragraphs from my new short. At least the introduction of my new short, as well as the last thing I wrote on it.

Along with a satchel filled with fragrant summer-dried herbs, Astrid grabbed her knife from the sheath on her belt. The shed’s scent of old wood and damp earth clung to her as she scraped scales from each fish, the metallic tang of blood sea water mixed with the clean scent of the creek water she used to rinse the gutted fish. Then, with practiced movements, Astrid stuffed in a wad of herbs and juniper berries. Tied each fish tight with hempen twine, which all connected to a thicker rope to be strung in the smoke box, and eventually, across the ceiling in the kitchen. The fish were now ready to go into the smoker; Astrid carried the fish and strung them in the ancient, yet sturdy, wooden smokey sealed with old pine resin and various chemicals to keep it air-tight and were non-toxic. A stone chimney once sat on its side, now replaced by a steel, more modern chimney that protruded from the roof and had a red-painted triangular shaped covering that kept the rain and snow out. With a roar, the storm made its presence known with a gust that whipped the dead leaves off the enormous, gnarled trees that stood around the property. The large, heavy door slammed shut before Astrid turned the hatch and pulled a chain through the two hooks and locked it with a thick padlock. Once satisfied, she armed the timer and headed to the back door of the cabin.
