why can't i WRITE (<- knows exactly why she can't write)

[veirsewrites]

I hope you’re doing well! I just wanted to send a message and say I reread the chapters for WtB since I missed the story and A and Amelie! I hope you’re having a good time and thanks for making a great vampire story!

I’m doing alright! Thanks for this nice message and thank you for liking my story 😊

I received a couple asks which I will eventually answer, just haven’t been in the WtB mindset lately so I don’t wanna give a half ass answer.

those my hero academia fans mad that the shounen hero manga is about shounen heroes and not romance (they use izuku as a self-insert) (theyre losers) (they lack media literacy and think that a girl having a freshman year crush means they have to get together by the end)

oc time again! + her town & culture (heavily inspired by pre-roman italic populations)

she is suri sauthon (later suri laran, after her marriage). her story is linked to my swtor imperial agent, but most of her life for like. the one year away where she meets him, is spent in a town in the mountains of mirial.

despite mirial being cold and desert, and many cities developing underground, her town flourishes thanks to a force nexus, venerated in the form of an ancient, sacred, alive crystal. the ecosystem of that mountain depended on what "the horned crystal" was capable of giving them, but mirialans couldn't live off of that alone, so they developed trade and some rudimental technology, even if oftentimes it was bought thanks to the highly profitable trade of a plant used to make medicines that slowed down aging and had overall healing properties.

note: everything that's generated by this nexus has these healing properties BUT they have to be processed, except for those who bathed in the waters of the cavity under the crystal - the "real" nexus, but not the worshipped one. the waters were sacred but they were not thought to be miraculous, unlike the crystal, who instead was thought of as the keystone of the ecosystem: without it, everything would fall apart (and that is partially true: the cavity was the "real" nexus but thanks to the crystal, also strong in the force, the properties were spread all over the mountains). those who bathed in the cavity's waters - so, all of the town, who had a sort of baptism there - could eat the plant, make whatever food with it, and not only that plant, but everything generated by the nexus, that, again, had similar properties. this allowed people to live up to normal life-spans without advanced medicines or, much, really. to those who didn't live there, though, after the processing, had incredible effects, slowing down aging - for those who took it regularly - and making people able to live up to half a century more than the average]

originally, there were four tribes of nomads that lived thanks to horned farm animals that decided to settle down into one bigger town and other smaller settlements, to live off of transhumance. this division of the tribes stayed into the political and social organization: every person belonged to one tribe specifically, and had slightly different rituals and culture. for examples, each tribe had their own priests and healers, with different techniques and traditions. the town, tho, was guided by a group of people in the high priesthood, a position you could reach only by having earned the trust of all tribes. those high priests had many roles: they guided the people into sacred processions common to all the tribes, they managed the trading with outsiders, they did the maintenance of the temple of the summit (the one that functioned as casket to the crystal) and created a special liquid to offer the crystal that helps it grow.

this particular temple was important because 1. it was very visible, from every angle of the town, and it became an important identity symbol; 2. it stored the venerated horned crystal; 3. it had the altar where sacrifices were made for the crystals. that altar had a hole connected to the cavity, that allowed the liquids to reach the underground; 4. it had various symbols: statues representing each tribe + the high priesthood, and typical mirialan tattoos carved into the wood of the trees that served as columns for the temple, symbolizing 8 values that who dared to enter HAD to have; 5. it was on the way to an important lake (called "mother lake" because the lake the town was built around to depended on the waters of that other lake) where they traveled to in important processions; 6. it was said that a the wizard who unified the tribes made it with its magic, making the plant grow to hold the temple's roof. this wizard was, actually, a force user, obv.

BACK TO HER THOUGH: she's daughter of one of the high priests, who was in charge of managing the trades with outsiders, and lives in a house on the mountains with her mother and him. her parents are from different tribes (that's one of the things that earned him trust from the 4 tribes): when a child is born from two different tribes, they don't pick one to allign to, but they're usually linked automatically to the one with more relatives in it (in her case, the father's tribe: she had many uncles and aunts on his side while her mom only had one sister).

later, though, she got quite tied to her mother's tribe due to a mysterious illness that only her mother's tribe healer was able to cure. she spent 4 years (from 10 to 14 years old) living with the healer and learned her secrets. to better study, she wrote them down. when she returned home, she studied to become a priestess with her father. at 22 (the average age: you can't become priest before your 20s), she was supposed to take a test and become a priestess, but the healer of her mother's tribe died and the tribe asked her to take her place. she couldn't technically do that, but both tribes estimated both her and her parents and she was allowed to become both. she then decided to try to become a high priestess, and became one at 25 (a quite young age). being part of the council, she tried to convince the various tribe healers to unite their knowledges and write them down, and eventually made it. healers still remained tribe based but they now had an "upper, inter-tribe level" similar to high priesthood.

years later, the sacred horned crystal is stolen from the temple by some Hutt mercenaries looking for a profit. given the trust she has earned from all the tribes and the fact that her father is the high priest that deals with outsiders (and she's been hearing stories and advice about it since she was little), she is the one tasked with getting it back. without the growing crystal, the keystone to their ecosystem, the village would have lasted only a few years. in hrr quest, she meets imperial intelligence agent tar'x laran and, as they "solve the mystery" and fight to have it back, they get closer. they'll get married and have a daughter, Vegoia (who's the only one who actually will get to the plot of my story. this was all background)

[many-gay-magpies]

[neurotypical-sonic]

keep thinking about how people claim that the sonic live action movies dont have any copaganda in them, and then turn around and loudly claim that tom is "one of the good cops". do you hear yourself

[umbrellacam]

when you're reading a fic from Dick's POV and he regretfully thinks he's not a good enough brother to young Robin Tim and your eye twitches not because it's not something Dick Always-Thinks-He's-Failing-The-People-He-Loves Grayson might think, but because according to the fic he was actually being a crappy brother to young Robin Tim, and then you close out because goodnight goodbye fare thee well

I'm fully aware Cecil just posted Hatter, but I was also gonna post Spooky Kid today, so it's nice to see the swapped duo back-to-back, huh?

[Previous character references: Hatter | Bandit]

Spooky Kid is a rather angsty 13-year-old, to be honest. He's from outer space, and would much rather have returned to his home planet, but after someone froze part of it and knocked both him and the timepieces out the window in a series of unfortunate events, he's been stuck on this planet ever since. He's trying to find his timepieces, and in the meantime, will use his spellbook to blast anyone from a distance instead of bothering to get close.

He'd rather be on his ship, reading, but at the same time, he can't leave the timepieces there, and eventually he does grow to at least tolerate the people there. (Not like. Totally. Definitely not. He's got a cool guy reputation to keep up. Ignore how everyone's sure he's only 10.) His fangs are real, and when he opens his mouth, he does actually have the same fang pattern as Snatcher. This boy's got some spooky vibes, even if no one really seems scared of him once they get to know him.

Also, instead of changing hats, he changes his cape! The dweller cape looks like spiderwebs, the sprint cape is a short cape to keep out of his way (And he does naruto run), and he hides books in the pockets that he won't admit exist in his usual purple cape.

He doesn't like to talk to people much, but he does enjoy getting to blast everything from a distance, so he'll live. So long as Crown Kid doesn't catch up to him first...

And now, housekeeping! Thanks to @legallymean for the first design of Spooky Kid, and for all your help with making this loser of a teenager. Can't wait to see more of the adventures we create with these guys. >:3

You know, the Zelda fandom is the only fandom I know that will get extra official content and find something to complain about it. Dearies, if it's in an official book, it's canon. LEARN TO APPRECIATE IT. I can't fathom why you all always want to find the negative in the series so bad. Do you even love or care about Zelda?! "It's not in the game 😩" yeah but it's in a book BY THE CREATORS. What more could you possibly want?!

You have the ability to draw and write fanfics. Do it. That's what extra content is there for. For you to take from it and enjoy it. To fantasize off of it

[tommygettingwrittenoff]

buck and eddie would be the most insane PTA moms ever, actually. because eddie loves his son and being a bitch and buck loves bossing people around with a clipboard and being involved.
