Hiii, dear Adagio! ✨🌷

How are you, pretty lady? I hope you are well, rested and that you had a good day, and if not, I hope that your days get better and that you receive many nice things, you deserve them 💖.

You don't know how excited I was to read your response, you are truly a sweetheart! Thank you for making me feel confident, it was a very nice detail, I promise you that I will come here more often, even if it is to leave you beautiful words that are totally true 😭. You really deserve to feel like your work is being appreciated and valued, because it is.

I'm looking forward to finding out what you have planned for your stories, I've been really hooked on them since I read the first chapter of 'Addicting Taste', and knowing you, amazing things are sure to come. If I could describe myself as anything else when I see you updated, it would be a doggie wagging its tail, lol.

So is there more of 'Believe'? I'll be waiting to see more of that, it's definitely one of my favorite scenes, it's even like the main song I have for the couple. It's the only thing I think about every time I hear the song, besides 'I'm trying, Cher!' by Zac Efron 🤣. I propose that it be the song that plays at the altar when they get married, I don't know, I'm just saying 🙌🏻.

For my part, I have been thinking about writing a fic about Aktha, Macken's character in 'Dragon of Wonderhatch', I consider him to be a very interesting character with great potential for depth, without a doubt it would be very entertaining and even reflective be able to unravel him a little more. I'm still hesitating whether to release the story, but it's very likely that in the end I will, and I must confess that you have some credit for it, with your stories you gave me the inspiration and motivation to give more shape to mine, so thank you, my lady 🩷✨.

And yes, I really like Macken's characters, I consider him a very promising actor with great potential, especially because of the ability he has to play his roles so well, stay faithful to the character in case it's an adaptation and, at the same time, give his own essence and touch to the character. He's incredible at his job, his roles stand out a lot, so I have a special appreciation for him ✨.

Actually, one of the reasons why your blog caught my attention in addition to the unique, human and special way in which you write your stories and characters, is because you are one of the few that I have seen that creates content about Macken's characters. I have noticed that, at least outside of Japan, his characters have been a bit neglected, without including Zoro, Seiya and even Enishi. I find it nice and comforting that there is someone who writes and portrays more about his characters, it gives more visibility to his other works/roles in my opinion 🥹.

Fun fact: The first time I watched the Rorouni Kenshin movies, my dad only had the first and second movies downloaded, and I had no idea they had any more of them released until years later when I saw them on Netflix. That's where I met the beautiful Mophead, who at the time I didn't know was played by Mackenyu since I didn't know him, until when I saw One Piece, a friend mentioned something about his role as Enishi and I was like: "Huh 😃 ❓". I had no idea I had met Macken since 2021 and was even more charmed by the way he acted 😭.

Even with 'Knights of the Zodiac', I really liked his performance and characterization as Seiya, I feel like he did it extremely well. I have a special affection for the anime version because my dad is a big fan and I grew up watching it, so it was honestly very cool to see Macken playing Seiya.

Oh, another little thing! Have you by chance seen the drama 'Brass Dreams'? Macken also performs there and I noticed that it have very good reviews, so I would like to see it, but I haven't found it anywhere. If you or anyone else reading this has seen it and can tell me where you guys did it, I would be eternally grateful 🙏🏻.

I think I went on too long talking about Macken and made the message very long, I apologize for that, I tend to ramble a lot. Anyway, thanks for reading! I really appreciate you taking the time to do this, it's nice in my opinion 🫶🏻✨.

Continue creating art and doing what you love, you are making wonderful things that are worth seeing. Thank you for being here, I hope you have peace and calm, and continue to have it for a long time. A bear hug, sweet soul! ✨🌸

With much love and appreciation, your faithful reader who will accompany you on your indelible journey, 🌙✨.

hi lovely! welcome back haha. you're very welcome for the message 🫶

you're the sweetheart here 😭 your asks are so sweet to read. please come here any time. i'm more than happy to respond :))

there's so much planned for my stuff but you'll have to read when they come out 😏. i hope those things are amazing and i don't disappoint. and the wagging tail help me that is so adorable 😭 it's how i feel when you guys come in the ask box or reply to the chapters. it makes my heart soar.

yes, there will be more of believe but all in due time. it becomes a meaningful song to them both since runaway is also heavily centered around not just racing but music and i choose the songs with meanings to them both. you'll see some chapters will be raiko's playslist but some will be naozumi's playlist. they won't necessarily be from his pov but the povs will be somewhat split between them. believe is probably in the fic like 3/4 times in total but it does become a really meaningful song as their connection progresses.

aktha is such a nice character and i loved macken's portrayal of him. it seemed so on par with him. and i hated that it was so short! i loved all his scenes. the way he exuded that serious caretaker image. it came close to one of his best roles.

do not hesitate hun. if you feel confident in your story go ahead and put it out. all i needed was someone to tell me i just have to write and i went and wrote my first ever fic chapter in all but 4 days. you can do this. if you ever feel like it's daunting just ask yourself: "what is the purpose of this story? what does it make me feel?" . if you feel like she's good to go and your guts tell you that too go for it! i would love to read it if it ever comes out!

and it makes me so happy to hear you got inspired by something i wrote. i just write what i would like to read and if it makes you feel confident in your own abilities or lights your spark for starting something then i am truly the happiest. after all, we're here to learn from each other and build each other.

that's exactly why i admire him a lot too. he creates this separate identity to the characters and it makes for so much more depth if you choose to expand on the material. it's why i went and crafted all these stories. i hope more people start writing for his characters and i hope those stories are everything you've been missing and that they make you love the characters even more!

aweeee i love that discovery! its so nice to find something again after you watch something. i think i loved everything i've watched of his. but my first experience of macken was with seiya. i remember how i was looking for a movie and i stayed up to watch it off a shady site and LOVED it!!! especially as a mythology nerd myself, kotz was so good. a little too short but amazing to be fair for such a spontaneous production. i have not watched the anime but i have been thinking of it to have something to add to the fic since i'm not sure how much of it follows the actual story.

i have seen him in brass dreams! i think i watched the episodes off dailymotion if i'm not wrong 🤔. most likely since i couldn't find it anywhere. so do check dailymotion ✨

noooo you didn't make it long. it's okay. i love talking about his characters too. and you're very welcome. i want you guys to have a safe space here and feel listened to because i know very well how it feels to want to talk about something but not have anyone to do that with. so if it's about his characters sign me up to a whole week long discussion haha

thank you for appreciating my work. i put a lot of myself into it and would love nothing more than to know it reaches people even a little.

hugging you tightly too 🫂🫶

congratulations to the newly wed couple

thank you to everyone who has not only purchased the comic, but also had kind words to say in tags and through asks!! I am away for holiday for most of this month, and I have been/will be largely offline on account of this*-- but please know that my heart is incredibly full to know people like this story!!

(*any posts that go up here have been scheduled before I left)

A few recurring questions I'll answer here real quick:

Will Sacred Bodies have a physical print? Yes! I would like to self-publish this book after the fair is concluded and sell it at conventions and through my online store.

What are the Ba'It based off of? Their body/limb plan is based on pteradons!! with some bat and bird anatomy thrown in. Garaang are semi-bipedal so that makes the silhouette even weirder, but you see some quadrupedal stances in the comic and it might make more sense then. I don't want to post or talk too much about some of the minutae of their design, as it is part of the story itself. :}

What medium did you use for the comic? It's all digital; I used Clip Studio Paint to draw the entire thing. I use the base watercolour and design pencil brushes that come with the programme. How long did it take you to make the comic? It's a little hard to estimate-- initial ideas, visdev and writing drafts were intermitent at the start of the year; once I landed on the story, finalising the script would've taken no longer than a week of recurring writing and editing. It's the actual drawing that takes forever, unfortunately. I started thumbnailing around April, and pencilling, colours and painting were a 10-11 hour work-day commitment for most of June and July. (I lost a lot of work-time in May cause I fell ill, womp womp). I'd probably say it was 4 - 5 months of labour. Are you going to write more stories in this world? I would really like to! I have a lot of ideas rattling in my head for the Valley of the World-- the place that the folk of the Spire have escaped. That being said, I have a whole graphic novel to finish first! It has been pushed back on account (but not exclusively because) of me working on my SBCF entries the last couple years, and I don't want to neglect it any further!! (it's 350+ full colour pages though so it was always going to be a huge undertaking)

Thank you again for the outpouring of enthusiasm and support; it means the world!

Mentioning Tusk Love and the potential of other independent stories set in Exandria reminded me of an old discord conversation about how they could Fix the courting of the crick for publishing (seeing as it's canonically a Bad Book due to being super dry and also racist towards drow) without breaking canon:

Rename it 'The Courting of the Kryn - a Reimagining of the Classic Story, by Jester Lavorre'

Present it as an in-universe fanfic-ish rewrite. There's a foreword where 'Jester' elaborates on the inaccuracies of the original, the impact the story had on her, and the importance of Dynasty-Empire relations. There's an acknowledgement section where she thanks Caleb and Beau as 'consultants on Empire culture', as well as an unnamed/under fake name/clearly Essek as an 'expert on the Luxon, dunamancy and Dynasty culture'. All his information on spy networks is eerily accurate and has his former co-workers scrambling. (He makes her keep all the dry historical accounts, but now it's accurate (with added dick-related puns)). She mentions that she reached out to the Bright Queen who reluctantly (after 5 messages in a row) gave some pointers. In her frantic research she possibly made some breakthroughs on the nature on the Luxon that has Essek reeling (there's a 'further reading' section where she lists the academic paper he wrote building on her discoveries and an entire list of the sources her consultants used).

For extra fun and meta-ness, include footnotes where she comments on things she changed/removed from the original and why, how various scenes may have been inspired by a real life couple or events, etc. Some of the footnotes are written by her consultants. Caleb and Essek get into arguments on dunamancy theory which is actually thinly veiled flirting. There's anatomically accurate drow sex (it's unclear whether the consultant was Essek or Caleb or possibly a certain brother, who was also consulted on Dynasty military practices).

Congratulations, Jod Na Nawood. You just may be the first Star Wars character to deny the call of Adoptive Fatherhood to Sassy Kid(s).

Crow services

After Danny died he noticed that some animals had become more attached to him while others had moved away. Aggressive or death related animals seemed to react positively to his presence, although friendlier animals such as birds tended to fly away.

Of course, none of this prepared him for the number of crows that landed on his window daily. At first he was scared that they would consider him a corpse and try to eat him but after the third time they brought him a shiny object he assumed they just liked him.

Those crows became very fond of him, they let him pet them, they would perch on his head or shoulders, always present and sometimes even watching over him (A particularly intelligent crow he named Poe would drive his parents away with distractions).

So when he moved to Gotham to complete his studies he prepared for a farewell to his feathered friends; said friends simply ignored him and followed him around the city. Danny assumed he wasn't going to be able to fight them, so he let them be.

This is how the phenomenon called "The Invasion of Crows" began in Gotham, the animals were not aggressive but mostly indifferent, some of them agreed to carry letters as homing pigeons (After Danny asked them for the favor) starting "Crow services"

As long as you had the money or something shiny to pay them the birds would carry messages from one place to another, ironically they would give that payment to Danny, who only sighed and let them pass to his apartment, giving them: some food, shelter and a place to sleep, although he was worried the moment his neighbor would complain about the noise.

At first he let them stay on the streets because they were supposed to be free, but after the sixth time he caught Damian Wayne trying to adopt one he just rolled his eyes and now the little ones were living with him.

So yes, when Jason finally decided to visit his neighbor he didn't expect the red eyed crowd staring at him and judging his actions, one in particular lunged at him and he swore he was about to gouge his eyes out before a voice yelled "Poe, wait! "

Said crow looked at him for a few more seconds before perch on the head of the prettiest boy he had ever seen, who approached to offer him a hand "I'm sorry, they're very overprotective" he muttered worried.

Jason almost fell over laughing when he noticed that this was B's "weird case" about the rise in crows alongside the supposed "new rogue" in town, when all he saw was a college boy with a murder of crows living in his house, maybe creating a new messaging system.

He was going to have so much fun with this, maybe he'd even manage to go on a date with his eyes intact, who knows.

i can’t believe you’d make me go into space, guillermo

Ya the appeal of Rose is she's so normal and human and unabashedly lower class. But also: -She barely flinched when surrounded by murderous dummies. -She dragged the guy who blew up her work into her home when he inexplicably turned up at her door. -She followed him down the block demanding answers when the plastic arm attacked. -She went to a stranger's home to find out more about him. -She fairly calmly pulled the fire alarm and directed people out while a (now headless) plastic copy of her boyfriend is attacking. -She just immediately accepts that the Doctor is an alien. (She answers awfully quickly, girly is into aliens lol) -She's taken to watch her planet burn and almost dies and just wants chips afterwards -She nearly dies by murderous alien ghosts and is down to do it as long as she goes out fighting with the Doctor. -She tells the Doctor to do what it takes to save the world without knowing the risk to herself. -She accepts a Dalek is about to kill her and tells the Doctor she wouldn't have missed it for the world. -She antagonizes that Dalek about not shooting her -She rips open the Tardis to look into her heart to get back to the Doctor -She becomes a time goddess to save the Doctor This girl is so normal and so fucking unhinged and not normal at the same time. When it comes to fight or flight response she has either none or fight. She's nineteen and just so chill with the concept she might die.
