[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

Me, realizing the last name i gave Alex is pronounced the same as the english word "ruined": *looks over at the Ruinde family* i mean they seem pretty ruined to me

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

All the canon relationships between my ocs

Power Doesn't Guarantee Glory:

Mathew Mckoy x Alex Ruinde. Sun and moon dynamic. Childhood friends. THE YEARNING!!! THE TENSION!!!

Inora Luis x Lani Morina. Religiously traumatized librarian and her girlfriend who was constantly getting called into the principal's office for starting fights when she was younger

–––

Built on Bones and Flowers:

Melian Doyle x Silas Doyle. Friends to roommates with a deeply unhealthy relationship to strangers to friends to lovers what more could you want? Tired coffee addict and his husband who's only slightly more mentally stable than him.

Analie Villeneuve x Alexandra Slater. SWORD LESBIANS SWORD LESBIANS SWORD LESBIANS SWORD-

–––

Corrupted Royalty WIP:

Casimir Clement x Alistair Evans. Guys I'm so normal about these two (lying). THE DEVOTION. ALISTAIR ALWAYS SAYING HIM AND CASIMIR CAN'T BE TOGETHER, THEY SHOULDN'T, BUT NEVER THAT THEY DON'T LOVE HIM. THE YEARNING. EVERYTHING AFTER CASIMIRS DEATH. (also prince and knight dynamic for the win)

Fletcher Clement x Cyrus. Nobody is doing it like these two. Enemies, lovers, childhood friends, and exs all at the same time. Spoiled prince and a boy who is morally against the monarchy in every way possible. The homoerotic tension in every scene these two are in together is palpable. Cyrus hates everything Fletcher is but part of him just wants Fletcher to be good, just wants his old friend back. Unfortunately thats not what happens. Sorry Fletcher you are NOT getting redeemed :)

–––

Six of Hearts:

Jackie x Jesse. Looks intimidating but is actually just extremely socially anxious boyfriend x seems cool but is actually just kind of a loser boyfriend

Sage x Via. Loser lesbian and her beautiful transfem gf. Cheerful chaos gremlin and anxious voice of reason. WHAT'S NOT TO LOVE?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN BESTIE TRICK OR TREAT

i have decided to come to your door outfitted as the amazing celeste ✨

WHY, HELLO THERE ARA :D WHAT A LOVELY COSTUME YOU HAVE ON

i choose....treat! and for your treat you shall have the official start to power doesn't guarantee glory/memories of a world long gone

The ruins were beautiful: pillars and arches reaching up into the clouds, the broken stone bridge standing tall as a reminder of the world that once was, with the vast blue sky and hormonal teenagers standing as a reminder of the world that now is.

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

saw this and thought of you know who from hit novel pdgg 😔

i am honored you thought of my wip and i must say youre so fucking right about this being a salveria coded post

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

Trick or treat?

(Always great to see another person into fantasy :) )

TRICK!

jkjk have what the characters of my main WIP are going as for halloween

Aria:witch

Mathew:vampire

Oriana:mad scientist

Salveria:mummy

Alex:cowboy

Alex didnt want to dress up; Aria, Mathew, and Salveria forced him to. The cowboy costume was Aria's idea

(yes, yes it is hehe)

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

Something i dont talk about enough on here is the possibility of an Aria and Alex friendship, like come on the dynamic would be absolutely hilarious. Chaotic lesbian and her disaster gay bestie, what more could you want?

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

HEY @dancinginsepia im curious what do you imagine mathew and alex looking like?

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

I have randomly decided that Alex Ruinde uses he/they pronouns; ive had him for over a year, ive just now decided this.

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

Hi Ash! This is Minie (@serendipminiewrites) asking from my main blog :)

Happy STS!

If you could make any of your side characters into the main character of their own side novella, who would it be and why? (aka which one of your side characters has the most development lol) What would their story look like?

Why hello, Minie!

Hmmm id have to say Inora from pdgg? Elegant lesbian librarian with religious trauma, what else is there to say?

Honestly itd just be her working through her trauma, dealing with the shenanigans of the main group, and dealing with the realization that everything she was taught growing up was a lie.

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

Tag/Ask? Game - Nonsense² idk y'all figure it all out, this is just a fun ask for me to send to some cool writers!

Describe your wip using 9 unrelated words!

or list 3 of your wips using 3 words each!

and then ask? tag? some people? idk! I'm not a cop do what you want!

with care and tea, have a lovely day -s

ps. use something more creative than [fantasy, angst, romance] pretty please or don't no pressure

Power doesn't guarantee glory

Ruins, corruption, fairytales, healing, religion, family, friends, truth, history

[bassguitarinablackt-shirt]

i decided to write some more side characters for pdgg to add flavor to the lives of the main characters outside of the plot and it went awfully! THEY CAME TO ME NATURALLY! I ADORE THEM! THEY LOVE LIFE! BUT THEYRE ONLY SIDE CHARACTERS! WHY MUST THEY ONLY BE SIDE CHARACTERS!
