#the feychild answers

[ominous-feychild]

What is the big question of your wip?

Like what is the glaring plot hole you have yet to fill?

Or the storyline you don't yet know how to end?

Sum that hole up in a one sentence question.

Depends on the WIP!

Tho I'll begin with: as far as I know, none of my WIPs have plot holes! Any time I notice one, I do my absolute best to find a way to fill it and have it actually make sense!

Although... I have a lot of things that look like plot holes, but are actually signs that Something's Off™ and subtle foreshadowing toward Plot Twists... 👀

RISING FROM THE ASHES

If there's any sort of “big questions” in RFtA, they'd have to be...

“What do people do against seemingly impossible odds? How far will they go for others, even at their own detriment? What could drive them to do that?”

Tho these are more of themes than plots, lol. The “plot questions” are pretty apparent. “Who caused the disaster; how and why?” “What's with all of the disappearances?” “What's Carmin's deal?” “What's Sammy's real backstory, and why is he hiding it? Who is he really?” “Why is Caron so evasive about certain questions? What is he hiding?”

Storyline-wise, I haven't decided the ultimate fates of each of the tertiary (and below) characters. I usually plan a LOT of my stories before I officially “start” them, and I almost always decide the direction I'm going to take a character's arcs before I get too deep into it.

The MCs and secondary characters (who I personally think are very important, lol) all have their arcs pretty planned out, but those beyond that? Not so much lol.

WAVES OF MISFORTUNE

If there's any sort of “big questions” in Waves, they'd have to be...

“What happens if you keep running away from your past? How long can you run away before it catches up to you... emotionally or literally? And is it worth it?”

Tho these are more of themes than plots, haha. The “plot questions” are pretty easy to recognize. “Why's Flavie amnesiac, what's her connection to the disaster, who was she before, and what's with her incredible power?” and “What's Benji hiding? Who is he really?” are the most obvious ones lol.

Most of all of their storylines are still up in the air, it's part of why it's less of a focus than RFtA, lol. Though I have a lot of the first book's plot planned out, and it ties in with both RFtA and SaS!

Guess that's what happens when you're a bunch of sailors, and you're connected with major characters of both stories!

(Caron and Soren)

THE ARCANE RIFTS

*looks at the fact that I have the first 3 books pretty much planned out* *looks back @ the camera*

I wonder! 😳😉

But! If there's any sort of “big questions” in TPC, they'd have to be...

“What gives someone value? Is anyone allowed to answer that question? And, if someone doesn't have value, does that mean they don't deserve help or to live? What is more meaningful: someone's actions or the results? What is strength really, and which kinds matter?”

There's way too many plot questions to even begin to list them here lmao. Most everyone's backstories are slowly revealed and lowkey (if not actually major) plot twists, or explain a LOT of their motives and actions previously taken. Gene himself, the MC, is especially a mystery!

And one of my favorite characters altogether! 👀😂

I'm not sure about a lot of things past book 4 of TPC (the series tAR—the first book—is in), but uh... I'm sure I don't have to explain why I'm not really focusing on them any time soon, haha.

SUN AND SHADOW

If there's any sort of “big questions” in SaS, they'd have to be...

“Are good intentions enough to justify bad actions? Are positive results enough to justify wrongdoings? Who's worthy of forgiveness, and why? Is it wrong to take revenge against those who hurt you? How far can you go in revenge, and how many bystanders can you hurt—or how much can you hurt them—before you become the villain?”

SaS is literally a detective mystery... though RFtA is technically one, too, and tAR has a secondary plotline of one, lol. Point is: there's a LOT of questions in SaS, haha, and I don't think you want me to get started!

I'm uncertain the ultimate paths of all of the characters besides Valyarus!

Val's ultimate fate is sealed. 👀

Besides that, I have all of their paths in Book 1, Sun and Shadow itself, planned, haha.

... aaaaand a lot of how they'll unfold further in Book 2.

I might plan too much.

Hope you enjoyed this, and sorry it took so long!

top 10 of 2024

got tagged by @leahnardo-da-veggie. i haven’t done a tag post in a while but womp womp here we are. let’s get into it:

X. the feychild gently trolls

aka the witch-hunt of 2024 ft @ominous-feychild

IX. the festival of magic

lmao aka the promised event of the year that i quickly cancelled once school and life got heavy and i had to go on hiatus. shoutout to @wyked-rebellion and @satohqbanana for not only still participating, but writing a whole scenes and analyses even though i had fully fell off the face of the earth (kinda). real ones frfr

VIII. ‘what inspires you to keep writing’

aka an ask sent by @thelovelymachinery which resonated with a lot of people for some reason? i answered it at 3am so the range of my ask responses from that day were ridiculously goofy. i’m pretty sure the next ask after this deeply heartfelt one was just “chomp chomp” so the emotions were def silly goofy lmao

VII. thecomfywriter’s guide to self publishing

a guide i had made in response to a request from satoh pre-the great tcw purge. got around to it literally months later but at least she liked it!

VI. the 25k words

such a simple post and yet people still reblog it. thank you fools for congratulating me so much. fun fact! i did it again LMAO

V. the tov personality quiz

aka the alan lovers united and the hunt for morreial because literally only 2 people got morreial if you excluded the time i rigged my own results to get him

IV. ocs with dogs

i asked a question. more people than i imagined responded. turns out a lot of you don’t have dogs, but kept trying to convince me that having a wolf was the same thing. i asked about DOGS. DERPY WOLVES. NOT WOLVES THEMSELVES.

III. 12 days of askmas

fun fact! i wrote this post as a meme, kinda. ye know the memes where the format is “the buttersock from icarly, but i just fill it with eggs”. something stupid like that. but then @inseasofgreen reblogged with a “what if 👀” in the tags, then a LOT of people took it as a serious suggestion, and then i ended up doing it myself during exam season lmao

II. my first book signing

i genuinely don’t know why this did as well as it did, but it was so sweet to see how many people were kind about this little achievement i was so proud of. the signature was peng and purple, just as i like it

I. breaking hiatus booktok discussion

i said i’d break hiatus for two seconds to give my thoughts of a video essay i watched. i stayed for the endless reblogs and comments. then broke hiatus entirely because of this post lmao. L for me. W for the discussion we had, esp that one guys who responded with so much compassion i genuinely adored that response

—

cheers! thanks for a great year!

i’m tagging pae pae alone because pae pae @paeliae-occasionally

okay fine i’ll tag ain, sol, and smihi too. anyone else who wants to chip in, or if i’ve mentioned you above, feel free to scoop in and make your own list

[an-indecisive-nerd]

Can I get a 🏆 for the ship ask game?

Thanks for the ask Illia!

Gonna answer this for all the Mel ships because yes

🏆 | their reaction to the other beating them at something

Okay so first we have Mel and Adrian(/Alexis/August)

Honestly they're both really proud of the other if they beat each other at something. They rarely compete so when they do there's like a solid 50% of one of them losing on purpose to make the other happy because they both get adorably excited when they win at something they were expecting to lose, Adrian in particular.

Mel and Brandon

This is a completely different dynamic altogether. They’re very competitive with each other and aren't above playing dirty to win. There's a general understanding that it's just for fun and there's no hard feelings afterwards, but they will complain about how the other cheated for an hour after, even if they didn't.

Mel and Faine

These two throughout their entire relationship and even after it fell apart have had an ongoing friendly rivalry about a few different subjects that they're always keeping score on. Even when they hated each other the worst they still kept score. They brag incessantly whenever they pass each other.

Bonus: Adrian and Brandon

Adrian always wins. Every time. Brandon can't resist how cute he is when he's excited about winning and lets him win every time. Adrian knows that Brandon lets him win, and he's milking it for all it's worth because he thinks it's hilarious. Mel also knows and also thinks it's hilarious. Brandon has no idea Adrian knows.

Nine Lines, Nine People Tag!

Thanks for the tag, @thecomfywriter (here)! I'll go with a snippet from Scrapyard Boys for this one! <3

Rules: Post 9 lines of your WIP, then tag 9 people to do the same.

"I'll fucking kill you when I get out of here," Valen rasped through bloodied teeth, before laughing bitterly, "If it wasn't for these stupid cuffs," He tugged against the metal digging into his skin, though knowing it was in vain, "I'd have fried your ass to a crisp by now, fucker." 

Jake looked down at him with a cocky smirk, shaking off his closed fist a couple of times, "I'll give it to you, kid, you've got some moxie," He chuckled, before grabbing a handful of the other's long, curly hair, and pulling him upwards. 

Valen groaned, biting down on his own lip to hold back a yelp of pain, gasping but still glaring up at the man. 

"Your little gang took something from me, last night, when I caught you sneaking around" The older man purred, "I want it back. It's a simple trade - you tell me where the asset you stole from me is, and maybe," He gave Valen's hair a sharp tug, drawing an whimper out of him "I can consider taking it easy on you and your delinquent friends."

Jake paused, waiting for an answer from the young mutant with a cocked eyebrow. "What do you say?"

Instead of answering, Valen wasted no time spitting on the man's face, saliva and blood hitting the man's cheek, close to his eye.

OC Questionnaire

Thanks for the tag @leahnardo-da-veggie!

I will answer for Tyro and Apollo.

If you could time travel, but only to the future, how far ahead would you go?

Tyro: I would go probably a hundred years into the future. Hopefully by then they have legalised being a sorcerer and I can just live normally for once.

Apollo: I am happy where I am. The world can’t wait any longer to change, if I were to skip forward I wouldn’t be here to stop the runics and the mage from destroying more lives. The future will be better if I live now.

What do you hate the most about yourself?

Tyro: What don’t I hate about myself? No that’s dramatic, I hate that I can’t trust anyone. I push people away even when they didn’t hurt me because I am scared that inevitably they will. Even if they are perfect they still leave me like Apollo.

Apollo: I can never live up to people’s expectations of me. I abandoned Tyro, and I know it was the best option but I should have done better than leaving them on the streets for years. I don’t understand how they still believe I am a hero.

Do you prefer sweet or savoury?

Tyro: Hmm… Savoury is more filling, but in an ideal world where I didn’t need the food sweet tastes better.

Apollo: Savoury. I love sweet food but it will never feel as comforting as a whole main meal.

Your questions are:

How long has it been since you last travelled?

Where is your favourite place?

If the inciting event never happened, what would you be doing?

WIP Food questionnaire

TY for the tag @the-golden-comet @theink-stainedfolk

Rules: Answer the food related questions provided here using the voice of your OCs. The yummier the descriptions, the better!

What is one comfort food that'll change your whole mood for the day?

Fen: Nothing improves the mood at the end of the day like a hotdish. Simple, hearty fare, just meat, potatoes and whatever veg is on hand. But it just warms the body and soul, especially on a cold winter's day.

What is an experience, good or bad, that has turned you off or on to a food completely?

Playa: Yeah... the incident has turned me off rabbit for the most part. I didn't think I could cause a fire that big...

If you could eliminate one piece of produce, meat, dairy, or sweets off the earth, what would it be?

All: Lampreys. Most are too small to be worth cooking. And there is something unwholesome about the larger ones.

And dessert is normally saved for last, but if you could, what would you order for your entree at a restaurant?

Rail: Maple and nut crusted trout, honey tossed butternuts, wild rice soup with sweet chilis... (Fen: Well, this was a mistake. Playa: I'm getting cavities just listening to this.)

What are some food fusions that should never be mixed?

Cya: Anything with a strong odor (fermented, sulphureous) mixed with something sweet.

Fen: I'm sorry, but I just cannot stand offal or anything with 'strong flavors' (such as rose water) mixed with everything. It just ruins the flavor. If you want to show off, just do some fancy pastry or perfectly cooked meat or fish.

Cooking is a life skill, so why haven't you started learning yet?

Playa: I'm still getting over the rabbit incident. Starting a grease fire that nearly burned down the hall of the elders will put you off cooking for a while. I've tried getting back into things by doing flatbreads and roasting small skewers...but it will still be some time before I try anything that involves a pot or pan.

·˚ ༘₊· ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ OC MOST LIKELY TAG

Thanks to @ominous-feychild (post), @paeliae-occasionally (post), and @moltenwrites (post) for the tag! :)

RULES:

Answer with which of your OCs would be the most likely to do the statement, then give new statements for the next person.

STATEMENTS, PART ONE: from @ominous-feychild

Most likely to burn something while cooking.

Noah. He wouldn’t burn it because he doesn’t know how to cook. He’s no expert, but there are a few meals he knows and he sticks with it. The food would burn because he wouldn't be paying attention. He'd get too lost in the music he's playing, or thinking up some new lyrics and chords to try for a song he's writing. If the wheels in his brain are turning, there's a good chance he's burning something.

Most likely to stop a robbery if they see it taking place.

Noah. He wouldn't want to get involved, but his impulsive mind would cause him to step in and try to de-escalate the situation. He's good at persuasion and reasoning with people, and has the patience to do so.

Most likely to not tell people they're sick until they really need the help.

And Noah scores for all three. Noah rarely gets sick. When he does, he's able to power through it since it only lasts a few days. If he's still sick after three days, then he'll ask for help. Well, as soon as he can put his pride aside.

STATEMENTS, PART TWO: from @paeliae-occasionally

Most likely to arrive ridiculously early.

Jacqueline. She's excellent with time management and hates being late. The thought of being even five minutes late would stress her out.

Most likely to be in a relationship for less than a week.

Elena. She's never been in one, and she doesn't care to be in one right now. If she were to try, she'd call it quits as soon as it began. Her priority is herself and finishing high school on a strong note.

Most likely to secretly be really good at music, but just not tell anyone.

Also Elena. She's a natural when it comes to most things, so it wouldn't surprise me if she were to pick up an instrument and learn the basics of it within a day. Although, her reasoning for not telling anyone would be because music isn't a main interest rather than intentionally keeping it a secret.

STATEMENTS, PART THREE: from @moltenwrites

Most likely to crush on their villain/enemy.

Nadia. She's a little delusional, and fanfiction has a huge role to play in that. Give her the enemies to lovers trope of a lifetime and she'll eat it up.

Most likely to skip breakfast.

Elena. Her mom makes breakfast every morning, but she isn't on the best terms with her parents right now. She does what she can to avoid them in the mornings, and that includes skipping breakfast.

Most likely to have a niche obsession.

Nadia. If she comes across something that she isn't familiar with, she gets curious and goes down the rabbit hole. She either forgets about it, or finds a new obsession that she won't let go of for at least a month.

YOUR QUESTIONS: — Most likely to laugh during a serious conversation. — Most likely to get a few hours of sleep and still feel energized. — Most likely to still have the flash on when attempting to take a photo.

Can you tell me a little about The Arcane Rifts?

Mislav (the berserker) and Ludmila in particular (their names stood out lol)

Ahhh, the Arcane Rifts, my golden child--

I--I mean--

The story I give an appropriate amount of love and attention to! 🥰 (or so I say because I think the extra attention I give it is deserved because it's the golden child--)

The Arcane Rifts

I've since included the blurb and other information in my Writeblr Intro if you want more generic information! Sorry I've taken so long to respond to this, haha. I'm going to continue forward here assuming you've read it, but I'm probably going to restate a lot of information here anyway!

The Arcane Rifts is a high fantasy, action, mystery story with hints of horror! It primarily follows its two MCs, Gene and Tazin, as they struggle to live on their own as Socially Othered kids.

Gene is physically disabled--he was born with a twisted and too-short leg that makes it difficult for him to walk. In-story, he uses a cane and eventually gets a foot lift that helps level out his walking. Though it doesn't perfectly fit, the best actual medical condition I can find for him is clubfoot!

Adding to his social-othering, Gene is also autistic (though it "doesn't exist" in Glavnran) and originally from another country, though it's unknown which one in-story. He was found in the woods on the outskirts of Kavo (a town within Glavnran) a year prior to the events of the story, and has barely gotten a grasp of the local language in the time before the story starts.

Tazin is the secondary MC and another kid only two years Gene's senior. He's ethnically Jhandan (Fantasy!Indian), and discriminated against by the majority Glavni (primarily white, Fantasy!Slavic) people despite being born and raised in Glavnran.

(Context: Glavnran is under the thumb of the Jhandan Empire and has had a history of both war and exploitation by Jhandar. This has led to the hatred of the Glavni people toward anything Jhandan--however. I do not say this as in to say the discrimination Jhandan people face is fair, understandable, or reasonable--just that it's the origin of the tensions. Tazin is a literal 9-year-old, though, and obviously just gets handed that hatred because of the color of his skin... and a minor accent.)

There's Asks on both Gene and Tazin and you asked about other characters, so I'll hold off on giving more info about them in particular, but!

The Arcane Rifts focuses on the two boys meeting, deciding to work together to survive on the streets, and accidentally getting way in over their heads as they accidentally draw the attention of both the cops and the local gang.

The main plots focus on the children, the khonitva, and Kavo's chief of police--Nikolai--investigating the boys on top of some magical stuff going on in the background.

It's a dense story, but I promise you it's worth it!!! Or, it will be whenever the current version has more than 5 chapters available read...

Mislav Baran

My beautiful babi boy and definitely not Gene's later boyfriend.

So, bad news: while he appears a bit in Book 1, Mislav isn't a main character there. He only becomes a MC in Book 2, after... spoilers! happen! 😙👌 In order to answer your questions, though, I will be giving away mild spoilers! 🥰

First, an introduction: Mislav (the berserker) is, surprise surprise, a berserker! Let me actually grab a snippet straight from tAR for this!

What Damaris didn’t know was that Mislav was a berserker, which meant he was stronger than any normal kid. Especially when he got angry. Being a berserker meant more than getting stronger with anger, though. It boosted all of his physical abilities and his senses. To top it all off, he healed from injuries more quickly. So imagine what it was like when he got angry. Although he’d show off his strength sometimes, Mislav hated that he was a berserker. Not only was it his own curse, gifted to him by Zhrizn—Glavnran’s evil god of nature—after he’d orchestrated the deaths of Mislav's family, but the people of Kavo hated berserkers. They said they were wild, destructive creatures that did nothing but hurt and kill.

Woah, so there's a lot to unpack there, haha. 🤭

But before I do... let me give you the next two lines from Gene('s narration).

Those were the reasons why Gene never told Mislav what he thought of a berserker’s abilities. They made for a perfect weapon of war.

Wait, wtf, a kid thought that??? Aaaaaanyway! We're talking about Mislav, not Gene! 😉🤭

Yeah, a berserker's abilities are perfectly suited for combat and recovering from it. However, at the beginning of the story, Mislav is just nine. Y'know--nine years old. He's not seeing any combat or war!

(Y'know... besides the whole "Adilzhan killed his entire family somewhat in front of him" thing. Oh, wait, right. That.)

So, Adilzhan. He's an avatar of Zhrizn (aka does his bidding), and it was presumably on Zhrizn's orders that he killed Mislav's family.

And then... stopped.

To spare Mislav? What's so special about him? Who knows! Me. I do.

Regardless, after sparing him, Adilzhan half took him in. Yeah. Took him in. After slaughtering his entire family and burning down the farm Mislav grew up on. That certainly won't be causing any sort of weird complexes in the poor kid growing up.

Despite their, ah, rough introduction, Adilzhan has been a shockingly generous "parental" figure to Mislav. Rather than forcing Mislav to live with him, Adilzhan sent him to the local orphanage and gives him anything the orphanage can't. Then, he's even ignored Mislav's uh... well.

Blatant attempts to "get revenge".

To be completely transparent: "berserker"-ness has turned (perhaps unsurprisingly) into an accidental allegory for anger issues--especially in the poor, traumatized Mislav.

So what does a kid with severe anger issues accentuated with a curse that actively tries to make them worse do when their family's murderer is constantly trying to be nice to them? Well, lash out, of course!

For example, by the beginning of book 2 Mislav would/will have:

destroyed a bunch of Adilzhan's stuff... several times.

straight-up ambushed/attacked Adilzhan (though only twice!! And only in the first several months of knowing him!!!... because he quickly learned it wouldn't get him anywhere--)

kicked/headbutted him while Adilzhan tried treating his (Mislav's) injuries

purposely sabotaged Adilzhan in moments of danger/stress, leading to Adilzhan getting injured when he otherwise wouldn't have gotten!

And yet, shockingly, Adilzhan never would've lashed out at the kid. Worst he would've done is put Mislav in the magical equivalent of "time out" while he took care of whatever problems the kid made.

By the beginning of book 2, when Mislav is 15, he's mostly moved past the state of constantly lashing out at Adilzhan. Like, sure--he hates him. Always will! But he's learned that, despite the past... Adilzhan is genuinely looking out for him. And was kinda a halfway decent parental-ish figure?

And, oh boy. Does he hate that. And understandably so!

But he's come to accept it.

Oh, Right, That Was Background Info.

So Book 2 Mislav! While Gene and Tazin were busy being criminals together on the streets, Mislav spent his time being raised halfway between the orphanage and Adilzhan himself. However, like all of the kids in Kavo's orphanage, he got kicked out at the age of thirteen (yeah, it's messed up, but tbh that's just how bad Kavo is).

So did he move in with Adilzhan at long last?

Hell no!

Mislav joined a gang, the yuertel!

Wait, what???

Yeah! Don't worry about it, it's all good. Anyway!

One thing I didn't mention earlier about the "berserker curse" is that it does more than just enhance the individual's physical capabilities and senses--it also will slowly corrupt their physical appearance as they tap into its power.

Which... that was another reason that Mislav toned down his anger with Adilzhan. Allowing himself to stew in it made it more and more likely that he'd act on it... and acting on it advanced the curse's control over him. And if you don't remember, the people of Kavo really don't like berserkers.

So, for most of his life (since the deaths of his family), Mislav has been doing his best to bottle up every single negative emotion he feels and avoiding people to keep them from figuring out the Truth. Aaaaand, y'know, self-sacrifice like hell. Because, surely, if bad actions accelerate the curse, then being a good person will de-cellerate it, right?

Yeah. He wishes. Literally.

Ludmila Morozov

So, Ludmila!

She first appears only at the very end of the first book, but Ludmila is actually a super important character to the series! She becomes a major character starting book 2, and is a main character in book 3!

Ludmila is an ice mage--or vykolt as the Glavni people call them--though you wouldn't be able to tell considering her fierce personality, haha. (Well, actually, she's incredibly icy, too, but.)

While Gene and Tazin were busy spending the first book of tAR in the khonitva and getting themselves on Kavo's Most Wanted list, Ludmila spent her time in Damaris's orphanage, getting evicted as she turned "of age", and joining/becoming the leader of the yuertel!

Oh, yeah, so the yuertel...

Ludmila didn't start the gang, and in fact got an actual job assisting the lumberjacks (and -jills) after first being kicked out of the orphanage. She only quit after an incident disillusioned her from Kavo's police- and work-force at large. Afterward, she was informed of the yuertel's existence by her childhood friend--Rada--and joined them when she couldn't find another job she was okay with working.

When she first joined, the yuertel was a ragtag bunch of kids with no idea what they were doing. After she joined--... well, they were still a ragtag bunch of kids with no idea what they were doing! But their previous leader saw her compassion for the others and stepped down to let her lead instead. Y'know, with his guidance, considering he was just a little better with people than her, but she was around a lot more than him and could do more for them than he could.

The yuertel isn't what you'd first think of when the word "gang" comes to mind. While they get up to criminal activity, they minimize collateral damage when and where they can, because hurting others isn't Ludmila's goal. They just need to do what they do to survive--malice and wanton destruction was the khonitva's thing, not hers. Though if a stray icicle hit Nikolai or a member of the khonitva over the head, she wouldn't complain.

While Ludmila wants the world to be a better place, all she sees is more ways to make it worse... or to work for those she feels sit idly by, allowing for things to get worse while sitting on their hands. So, instead, she carved out her own corner where she takes care of the people she cares about while nobody else pays them any mind.

Point is, she's a bit of a hypocrite.

Kavo--and, in fact, Glavnran in general--is a terrible place. It's full of crime, discrimination, ableism, and so many -phobias that it's ridiculous. She realized there was nothing she could do about it, so she sought to help her friends float by if nothing else. But she's a little ignorant of the fact she's guilty of the very same thing she hates in Nikolai and the rest of the police force.

Complacency.

At least... she is before book 3. But that's spoiler territory. 😉

A little more background info: Ludmila got sent to the orphanage after the murder of her mother. (Which, I so want to write a short story where Nikolai and Adilzhan investigate the murder buddy-cop style, Nikolai hating and suspecting Adilzhan of it all the while...)

Her mother, Tosha, was a fellow vykolt and actually was an avatar of Ertzat, the Glavni psychopomp god of ice, winter, death, and other associated things! They were distantly related to Gennadi (the un-elected mayor), and that combined with her priestess status meant the two were decently well-off before Tosha's death. Ludmila was close childhood friends with Rada even before then, and their parents' deaths occurring at approximately the same time led to them ending up at the orphanage together.

Idk what else I can say about her without getting into spoilers, haha...

I love Ludmila! Despite her hypocrisy, I'd say she's genuinely a good person stuck in a miserable circumstance like a lot of my characters tbh. She's a massive "sister friend" angsty type, and absolutely CANNOT get along with Tazin after the duo joins because of them both being stubborn af, haha. They're two bulls locking horns!

(And, beautifully, are a fire/ice rivalry, haha.)

I've seriously had this half-done in my drafts since publishing my Writeblr intro... I'm incredibly disappointed in myself.

✨ Sunday Funday: More Milestones and Bonus Art✨

✨Hello, everyone! 💫✨

On the day of YWIMC’s launch, Peter decided he would one-up the genie debut by reaching yet another FANTASTIC milestone—3,000 hits on Archive Of Our Own! 💛🏴‍☠️

Wow. Just….amazing. In this last week alone, I achieved milestones in all three of my major stories—The Wingman, Peter Hart, and Your Wish Is My Command. I am continually in awe and inspired by how supportive this community has been. Thank you all so, so much!! I hope to continue creating stories that will knock your socks right off! 🧦✨

But, before I start my next giant project (👁️), I am taking a small Holiday Hiatus! Breaks are very important to avoid burnout, but not to worry! I’ll still be around to answer questions and asks about my stories, and participate in the community. I just may be a little quieter for the end of the year wrap-ups. Stay tuned for more~! 🎁✨

I hope everyone is able to rest and recuperate this Holiday Season. Have a great week, a wonderful December, and a Happy New Year! 💫✨

[illarian-rambling]

So me and @the-letterbox-archives talked about this idea of doing a character talkshow, inspired by a similar thing @thecomfywriter did a while ago, and I think it's a cool one! Ergo, here we are with...

Talkshow Submissions!

Basically, I'll go cast by cast, starting with the Outcasts quartet. Feel free to send in a question to them within a 24 hour period (by ask, comment, or rb, it doesn't matter to me), and then after the time is up, I'll do a big post where the quartet answers your questions as a group. Any question is on the table, just be nice about it! Feel free to ask a question to a specific character or to the group as a whole. Also, I'll try to credit each question, but if you want to ask an anonymous question, tell me, and I won't announce to the world that you're the one who asked what everyone's biggest pet peeve about everyone else is. If this ends up being fun, I'll probably do another two episodes for the MG gang and Starbreaker crew :)

Here are the character intros for the Outcasts quartet, if you really wanna get down in the thick of things:

Izjik Meautammera

Sepo Kaiacynthus

Twenari Devaris

Djek Kagura

And this poll is serving mainly as a clock for me to remember to check this post in 24 hours (not a hard time limit tbh, if you send in an ask on hour 26, I won't mind) but also as a gauge of interest

Thank you and have a bitchin day!

Feilitet and Main

Main: Fellas, I gotta know for science. Is the opposite of red green or blue?

Feilitet : Technically a mix of green and blue?

Main: So blurple.

Feilitet : That's implying you're mixing blue and purple.

sorry if u already did this~

[an-indecisive-nerd]

❄️ Snow - Who is your coldest / most stoic character and how do they express themselves (if at all)?

☀️ Sun - What's your favorite part of your WIP?

☁️ Cloudy - What inspired you to start writing your WIP? (or in general)

Oooh thanks for the ask! Sorry for not answering, I've been busy.

Snow - Who is your coldest/most stoic character and how do they express themselves (if at all)?

Okay so of all my characters that I can think of right now, I think I'd have to say that Mel is the most stoic. As for how she expresses herself, she does everything in her power to protect what she loves, and make the lives of people she loves as happy as possible. She usually tries to do this without them noticing, as she doesn't like being given credit or people even knowing it was her. Mel is a chronic emotion bottler, so when she's having a hard time, she rarely shows it. But when things do eventually get too much for her, she falls into the arms of whoever's closest to her (metaphorically and sometimes literally). If there's no one to catch her, she just falls.

Sun - What's your favorite part of your WIP?

Oooh tough one. I don't think I have a favorite part. All the parts fit together to make a greater whole, and I love it all. If you'll permit me an extremely vague answer, I would say the characters. I can transfer my characters into any scenario and story and I would love it.

Cloudy - What inspired you to start writing your WIP? (or in general)

WYS was inspired by a role-playing server I started up with some friends were we created our own original characters to mess around with. The characters I created eventually became the main cast of WYS. As for writing in general, I honestly started because I liked books and wanted to be cool. After trying it I discovered I both loved it and was pretty good at it, so I kept at it. Talking about specific WIPs again for a second though, most of my inspiration comes from dreams, or sometimes I'll get an idea off of something random someone said, or like a saying or metaphor or something. I have an entire list of book ideas in my notes that's 100% just based off of common sayings.

Thanks again for the ask!
