If you are confused watching 'The Tyrant' on 'Disney Plus' - it's a mini show based on the same universe / time line as 'The Witch' part 1 & 2.
Hope season 2 gets picked up and they make it at least 8 episodes. Or maybe make a movie.
If you like 'The Witch', you'll enjoy this

Thinking about the way dungeon meshi does queer horror. Using horror to tell queer stories is already subversive, but dungeon meshi subverts it even more
Normal queer horror is like. A monsterous desire and immortal love of something isolated/hated and the uncontrollable but suppressed need to consume someone to live and they only die if you break/pierce their heart. its great.
In dungeon meshi, the group is STARVING. they do things the way they're expected to and they're so deprived that eventually, one of them is consumed by that monsterous desire.
Then when Falin becomes a monster, she doesn't eat Marcille because she doesn't NEED to, Marcille already offered herself up as part of Falin by mixing her own blood with the dragon's for the resurrection.
Tumblr media
Also Marcille is a monster too!! She doesn't need to be turned by Falin. She's a 'witch' doing black magic for one but she's also very vampiric
Her name is super vampirey especially given one of the translation spellings was Marcilla, an annogram of Carmilla*. And Marcille is very similar to Marceline from Adventure Time so it's a name with heavy connotations to me. Also her staff is Ambrosia which means immortal.
*ps Carmilla is the original modern vampire that inspired Dracula and also a lesbian. she used annagrams of her name (Marcilla, Mircalla, Millarca) to disguise herself across hundreds of years.
Marcille is like. a vampire in that death is a big part of her theme. She can breathe that immortality into someone else using her resurrection black magic and death is a huge part of her character. She wants them to live as long as she does. To make them immortal. Like. Like a vampire. Vampires which are unholy when her love interest is a cleric.
But once again this is subverted!! she doesn't 'turn' Falin, she makes her undead by giving her own blood instead of taking Falin's. Falin becomes a monster not because she's attacked or turned, but because her DNA, something INHERENT about her is now intertwined with the monster. so a god-like figure merges them. Then the only way to free her from that frenzy and grant her autonomy again is to finally consume her. something inherently lesbian about all that i think idk about you

Nothing has proved to me more that people don’t actually mind oppressive systems in real life than oppressive systems in fiction.
For example, the four houses in Harry Potter. We are explicitly told that every witch or wizard that joins Slitherin eventually turns bad, or is a narcissist, or is in some way a shitty ass person. Likewise we are told the Hufflepuff are kinda the dumb ones that just sorta vibe. Even Grifindore aren’t really smart per-say, they just have more gusto and bravery than other houses. And like this whole system is designed to sort people into groups and we are shown that being sorted so early in your life is kinda fucking detrimental to the rest of your life?? Like it’s a fucked up system.
And then IRL people are INCREDIBLY LOYAL to the idea of being sorted into these 4 groups. And JK Rowling being a horrific TERF doesn’t seem to dissuade people from trying to figure out which house they’d belong to.
Then we have the subversive parody of Harry Potter in The Owl House and their Coven system. The covens are designed to seal off your magical power so you can never do anything other than that ONE piece of magic for the rest of your life. And you have to pick that covens track in high school at the latest.
This is seen as SEVERELY limiting on its own… but then it’s revealed that this whole system was designed to drain all witches of their life force and essentially KILL EVERYONE in a mass genocide.
And yet people IRL still like to imagine which coven track they’d be apart of.
Then there’s Severance with its whole dystopian horror concept of being able to separate your brain so you never have to experience work, or pain, or suffering… at the cost of forcing one half of your consciousness to ONLY EXIST to experience work, pain, and suffering.
One of the ways they keep the “innies” from rebelling is to tell them information about their “outies” lives. “Your innie likes to swim. Your innie is kind to strangers. Your innie always sneezes twice.” This is meant as a condescending way to control the innie by treating them like a fucking BABY.
And guess what I see every week when Severance comes back on? People in social media posting about how their “innies enjoys ____!”
It’s like we are HARDWIRED into tribalism and we can’t HELP but sort ourselves into these systems. Even when the stories and shows are telling us “THIS IS FUCKED UP!”
Is it any wonder then when Alt-Right Nazis realized they could harness this and made everything in the past 15 years about “us Va them” and makes all politics about being part of a “team” of some kind that people JUMPED ON BOARD to it?

Hey, I'm doing a presentation workshop at work and as part of it we each have to give a presentation about something we're passionate about, so I'm doing RWBY and focusing on the subversion of tropes (like how Jaune and Ruby have swapped the traditional male anime protagonist role and the backup role usually for a girl around) and multiple allusions for each character (Norse, LOTR, fairy tale, wizard of Oz etc) and how they're shown.
Do you have any favourite theories or allusions around the main two teams, the Ozluminati or STRQ? Thanks!
Oooh, sounds fun! XD
That's a great question, and honestly when it comes to Team RWBY, I think my favorite allusions are simply how the story flips and twists the core allusions of the main girls:
Ruby is a Little Red Riding Hood who, rather then being menaced and hunted by a monster in the woods, is HERSELF a hunter of monsters. A Red Riding Hood who goes into the woods to hunt the monsters so that others may be safe.
Weiss is a Snow White who is both the 'Disney Princess' AND the 'Knight in Shining Armor'. A girl who probably would have been pushed into a traditional 'princess' role by her controlling, abusive father, but who instead essentially became the 'Knight' to rescue herself, and strives to be a noble figure to help others as well.
And of course, Blake being BOTH the 'Beauty' and 'The Beast' of her allusion. With Yang complimenting said allusion by likewise being both the 'Beast' to Blake's 'Beauty' and the 'Beauty' to Blake's 'Beast'. And how Adam manages to likewise represent both Gaston and the Cursed Rose.
There is also my 'Odin!Ruby' theories, though I will freely admit those are more 'fun headcanons' at the moment, rather then something really held up by the narrative.
There is also something just so damn cool about Salem essentially being 'The Wicked Witch of the West' crossed with SAURON (with a bit of 'Galadrial if she took the Ring' vibes thrown in) XD
And Cinder presenting just this AMAZING dark, tragic twist on Cinderella as a villain origin story. Where Cinderella finally fights back and even KILLS her wicked and cruel step-mother and sisters who so long kept her under their boot, only for the people/person she trusted most to turn on her and side with those very oppressors. Showing just how much the society she lived in was entirely okay with the terrible oppression that was done to her.
The fact that the show manages to give us a Wizard of Oz who really is a powerful wizard, yet also STILL turns out to be a massive fraud who lied to everyone.
Even after all this time, I think some of my favorite allusions in the show are still the ones at the core of the main characters.

Random question incoming.
What is you favorite Discworld subseries? (Watch, Witches, Wizards, Death or stand alones?)
ohhhh okay so by random question, i assume you meant "ramble for ten solid minutes about one of my oldest special interests", right?
SO. gun (gonne) to my head, i would probably say the watch books because night watch is one of my favourite books of all time, not just my favourite discworld books. i also read books like jingo at a formative age and they have stayed with me SO MUCH. ALSO. the subversion of the fantasy tropes in discworld is one of my favourite things about the series, and one of the subversions of all time has got to be carrot's "birthright" stuff. as someone who is pretty strongly anti-monarchy, this storyline and the ways it informs the relationship between carrot and vimes is SO GOOD. also also, some of my favourite secondary characters come to us via the watch books, and sam and sibyl are one of my all time favourite fictional relationships ("not a gentleman but a gentle man" rewired my brain istg)
THAT SAID. the first discworld book i read was reaper man, and i do think some of the best philosophy in the series comes in the death books. what can the harvest hope for, if not the care of the reaper man? i'm not religious or spiritual in the slightest but GOD that line makes me wish i was. and of course the whole discussion in hogfather about justice and fairness, the big lies and the little lies. they're just untouchable. and without the death books, we wouldn't have SUSAN. character of all time, SUSAN STO HELIT. she's cynical, she's stern, she's a born educator who knows that children are horrible little gremlins, she's DEATH'S GRANDDAUGHTER. no one's doing it like her.
and then THAT SAID, the witches??? idk man, i really really struggle to separate these from the death books in terms of my ranking because granny?? hello??? i have been able to read the shepherd's crown only twice because i can't see through my fucking tears, good lord. the part in witches abroad where she confronts lily ("because i had to be the good one") speaks to some complicated family stuff of my own and will forever have a place in my heart. and the part where she's trapped in the mirrors and has to find "the real one" and just immediately looks down at herself and says "this one" is like. that's what i aspire to be and to have. and GOD, as a fat, anxious little kid, agnes/perdita was just such a revelation to me. and of course, via the OG witches we get tiffany aching, my queen of cognition and meta-cognition. and of course, because i love a horny old lady, NANNY OGG. and GREEBO. and MAGRAT, my beloved. god, there's just so much in these books to adore.
so the wizards, i adore them as characters, but the wizard focused books generally aren't my favourites, possibly because so many of them are from so early on when i feel like pterry was still finding his voice/world etc. so while the archchancellor (aka fantasy ron swanson c'mon) is a delight and while as someone who works in academia, the commentary on universities is EVERYTHING to me, they don't tend to make the top of my list.
the standalones are easy to lose sight of, because of the (general) lack of tie-in to the wider world BUT a couple of special shout outs:
moving pictures (or is this considered a wizards book?) for the NEVER ENDING parade of puns and references, some of which i STILL get for the first time when i re-read
small gods. THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK, y'all. there are so many things i adore about it, but possibly nothing more than the scene in the inquisitors' office that gives rise to these lines: "And it all meant this:  that there are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal, kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do."
monstrous regiment. WHAT IN THE GENDER. i feel like this, along with things like the development of the dwarfs throughout the series really show what an amazing, kind, loving and thoughtful a person pterry was. GOD i miss him.
lol okay this got even longer than anticipated and i'm STILL NOT DONE. one of the things i love best about this series is that there really is something for everyone. my dad is NOT a fantasy reader in the slightest, but even he liked men at arms and guards! guards!. a friend of mine was struggling to get into the books but because i Know Him and his interests i was able to say "bro. carpe jugulum. immediately." my mum wasn't much of a reader at the time, but i knew that equal rites would get her, and it did.
exTREMEly tl;dr:
1. watch books 2/3. (impossible to separate) death books and witches books 4. standalones 5. wizards
lmao, thank you so much for the ask, i just enjoy thinking and rambling about these books so much 💕
"do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?" gnu sir terry.

Part 1: Why is Nettles black?
TLDR: George subverts a bunch of stereotypes specifically tied to black women in media with Nettles, she's black, innocent, not practising magic, young, doesn't nurture or take care of anyone and her own sexual experiences aren't exploited in her narrative rather in a projection of someone. The closest she comes to any other race is when they call her a dragon lady at the end, which is an Asian stereotype but not something invoked to critique. Nettles is black.
So I said it before, but now again, this is a two part post because when it comes to this character, I think the relevance of her race is often lost because of what is percieved as a greater narrative purpose. But Nettles race and specifically her being black is important to her story. The next part will delve into her role in the narrative as a black girl, but this part is generally why I can say she's black with confidence using the written narrative.
STEREOTYPES/ TROPES
There are multiple stereotypes used to box black women in specifically from the inception of race in media. Some of the most prominent are the (in great reduction to the nuance):
Sapphire: angry, loud, and rude black woman
Jezabel: sex driven, lust bound, and seductive black woman
Mammy: nurturing, sexless and typcially bigger black woman.
Magical black woman: linked to some sort of witchcraft practice but not central to the narrative. Not to be confused with the magical negros trope which is different.
Tragic Mulatto: mixed raced stereotype that they belong no where.
Ghetto: I saw this recently, but this is basically the hood girl trope.
Grown black girl: this is when they treat black girls as older than they are, like adults when they are kids.
These concepts have smaller sub tropes, and there are more stereotypes, but even to this extent, there is a battle with media literacy when it comes to the way people see black female characters in media.
For the sake of Nettles, we'll be covering all in the next part. Along with the history, seeing as most if not all the origins for these tropes can be found in Slavery.
SUBVERSIONS.
With the sapphire trope, George manages to give Nettles these characteristics and add on to them, so while they are a part of her character, there is depth and nuance. She is rude, called foul-mouthed in the narrative, but she is also fearless and smart. She never gets angry in the written narrative, but she does cry and mourn and show an emotional intelligence we don't get from all her peers. She defies the expectation of a rude, lowborn character being crass, lusty or power hungry, and jealous alone.
The Jezabel story is a perverse fantasy. A black woman is solely driven by lust and desire, nothing more than a sexual object. It's a trope that actively harms young black girls as well. So, in the books, whether or not you believe Nettles has sex, she isn't solely there for it. She isn't just there to have sex with Daemon, and when it is brought up, the men around her prioritise the innocence of her youth rather than the treason she is said to commit.
Nettles doesn't really fit the many trope as she is younger than the trope typically allows for but within the narrative of all the connections we could've gotten we got one with a Prince rather than with children to communicate the fact that she loves but she isn't a care taker.
The magical black woman stereotype or black witch stereotype is rooted in the both spirituality and abuse. White women would use both the Jezabel stereotype and this one to claim that the reason their husbands would sleep with the enslaved women of the plantation were because they were sexually deviant seductresses who ensnared the men basically.
This is the clearest stereotype George both evokes and subverts. He purposefully wrote that in to draw a real world parallel and subverting it in his book.
Lastly, the tragic mulatto stereotype is the trope of two white for the black side to black for the white side. Basically, they are sad because they have nowhere to belong. Interestingly, George doesn't use this at all. Which to me was an indicator that Nettles doesn't have this complex. All the people of colour, especially the brown skinned ones, have a complex relationship with the Valyrians, but Nettles doesn't.
ONE EXCEPTION.
This isn't really an exception, but more so a name he uses that is tied to a trope. Nettles is called a dragon lady out of context of the stereotypes in the books. The reason I brought it up was because a lot of people seem to think Nettles could be any kind of brown in the narrative, which isn't exactly correct. The dragon lady stereotype is tied to many Asain women, but the content of it isn't tied to Nettles past the name.
I think we have moved past the need for the Ghetto trope. It's basically someone who grew up in an urban, low income area and whose behaviour represents the culture there. I don't think Nettles is a victim of Reaganomics so I don't think she's affected by this.
Nettles is also purposefully treated as a young lady in the narrative. She's the Westeros equivalent of 18 and is treated by the men of her narrative as a girl. She's called a child, said to be innocent and freed from her sentence because of it. The exception to this is with Daemon Targaryen, who sexualises her narrative, but it isn't meant to be explotative AS IT IS WRITTEN. It's presented as love.
OVERALL.
George uses black women stereotypes and tropes in media and subverts them with Nettles. He specifically uses her appearance to justify it and allows him to communicate with race without saying it out loud. Nettles is a black character written in a story where she can defy the media conventions of her identity. She is back for a reason and none at all.

Propaganda:
Ja Yoon and The Nobleman: Both were scientific experiments, but she managed to escape while he did not. Now he enjoys tormenting a seemingly amnesiac girl and threatening to kill those she loves, all for fun.
Victor and Elizabeth, The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein (art by Nanfe1789): As a child, he didn’t want to be separated from Elizabeth even for school, and he didn’t react well to Henry kissing her. As an adult, he’s much worse, orchestrating Justine’s death not only for his experiments but because he was jealous of Elizabeth's love for her.

(Part 1) Film & TV Recommendations for Halloween
1. Over the Garden Wall (Miniseries, 2014)
Tumblr media
Over the Garden Wall features two half-brothers, Wirt and Gregory, who have become lost in a mysterious wood called The Unknown and attempt to find their way back home.
...
This beautifully crafted animated miniseries is the best thing to come out of Cartoon Network even after ten years. The unique atmosphere, which blends fairytale charm with Gothic eeriness, perfectly compliments the early 20th-century Americana-styled animation. At just ten episodes, Over the Garden Wall is a short but impactful experience that lingers with you long after it ends. I highly recommend this series.
2. Coraline (Film, 2009)
Tumblr media
Wandering her rambling old house in her boring new town, an 11-year-old Coraline discovers a hidden door to a strangely idealized version of her life.
...
This stop-motion animated film is a deeply unsettling and visually stunning experience. Blending a dark fairytale narrative with otherworldly imagery, it presents itself as a psychological horror for young and older audiences alike. Coraline explores the complex ideas about family, identity, and the dangers of wish fulfillment with grace. I strongly recommend this film.
3. ParaNorman (Film, 2012)
Tumblr media
Norman Babcock, a young boy who can communicate with ghosts, is given the task of ending a 300-year-old witch's curse on his Massachusetts town.
...
This heartfelt stop-motion animated film blends humor, horror, and themes of ostracization and acceptance. While blending classic horror movie tropes with a coming-of-age story, it manages to portray strong themes of prejudice by using zombies, witches, and ghoulish imagery. If you're looking for a unique spin on classic B-movie horror, I highly recommend this film.
4. Happy Death Day (Film, 2017)
Tumblr media
A college student must relive the day of her murder over and over again in a loop that will end only when she discovers her killer's identity.
...
Happy Death Day is an entertaining mashup of slasher horror and Groundhog Day-style time loop storytelling. This film stands out from all the rest of the horror-comedy franchise due to its emotion, mystery, and character growth. While it doesn't push boundaries for horror, it makes up for its uniqueness that balances humor and suspense. If you're looking for a horror-comedy film, I strongly recommend this one.
5. Jennifer's Body (Film, 2009)
Tumblr media
A newly-possessed high-school cheerleader turns into a succubus who kills her male classmates and devours their flesh in order to survive.
...
Though it was sorely misunderstood when it originally came out, it has recently garnered rightful attention for its subversive take on the horror-comedy genre. This film blends teen drama and supernatural horror and uses its genre to touch upon the objectification of women in horror and in reality. Its wit, self-awareness, and social commentary have made it a standout in the horror-comedy genre, and for that, I strongly recommend this film.
6. Sinister: Recut (Film, 2012)
Tumblr media
Ellison Oswalt is a struggling true-crime writer whose discovery of snuff films depicting gruesome murders and strange supernatural elements in his new house puts his family in danger.
...
Said to be one of the scariest films ever from a research study, Sinister is a deeply unsettling horror movie that perfectly mixes supernatural elements with psychological tension. The haunting score combined with the grainy, nightmarish footage of the murders results in an unnerving experience that sits with you long after you turn the lights out. Instead of watching the original movie, I strongly recommend this fanedit version of the film. It elevates the movie by removing some of the cheesy jumpscares and awkward dialog. If you're looking for a genuinely haunting movie this Halloween, I recommend this one.
7. 1408 (Film, 2007)
Tumblr media
Author Michael Enslin, who specializes in debunking paranormal occurrences, checks into the fabled room 1408 in the Dolphin Hotel in New York City.
...
This film excels in building suspense, using minimal special effects, and relying on our main characters' isolation and psychological unraveling to create fear. While this movie isn't as overtly terrifying as other horror films, 1408 offers an eerie, slow-burn experience, blending supernatural elements with personal trauma. The film has two different endings, the theatrical version and the director's cut. I'd suggest watching both to come to the conclusion of your favorite. It's a must-watch for fans of psychological horror, and I strongly recommend this film.
8. Midsommar (Film, 2019)
Tumblr media
A couple travels to Northern Europe to visit a rural hometown's fabled Swedish mid-summer festival. What begins as an idyllic retreat quickly devolves into an increasingly violent and bizarre competition at the hands of a pagan cult.
...
This is a visually stunning and disturbing horror film set against the backdrop of a bright, idyllic Swedish village. The movie stands out for its unique approach to horror, unfolding almost entirely in daylight, creating a sense of unease through its striking visuals, unnerving atmosphere, and slow-building dread. Midsommar is a polarizing piece of media, mixing folk horror with psychological drama, and is filled with symbolism and unsettling imagery. I highly recommend this film if you're looking to be disturbed this Halloween.
9. Skinamarink (Film, 2022)
Tumblr media
A young brother and sister wake up during the night to discover that their father is missing and that the windows, doors, and other objects in their house have vanished.
...
Skinamarink is an experimental analog horror film that trades traditional narrative for a surreal, nightmarish atmosphere. Shot in grainy, low-light cinematography, the film immerses you in a disorienting and eerie world where fear of the unknown takes center stage. The film’s strength lies in its ability to evoke childhood fears, using abstract visuals and unsettling sound design to create a sense of dread. However, its unconventional approach may alienate some people who expect a clear plot or resolution. The minimal dialogue and deliberate pacing make Skinamarink more of a mood piece than a traditional horror film, relying on atmosphere over jump scares. For those willing to embrace its experimental nature, Skinamarink offers a haunting and disquieting experience that lingers long after it ends, tapping into primal fears of isolation and helplessness. For all these reasons, I highly recommend that you check out this film.
10. Heck (Short Film, 2020)
Tumblr media
A child wakes up in the middle of the night to the sound of his mom's television blaring.
...
Heck is a short film that shares a similar atmospheric approach to the creator's feature-length film Skinamarink. Like Skinamarink, it explores the feeling of being trapped in a surreal, dreamlike space. The film's minimalist aesthetic, with grainy visuals and a haunting soundscape, creates a disorienting atmosphere that leaves much to the imagination. It builds tension through its slow pacing, relying on the viewer's discomfort with the unknown rather than traditional horror tropes. For people who thought Skinamarink's runtime was excessive, Heck is a great substitute that captures the same atmosphere of the former. I highly recommend this film to people who have enjoyed Skinamarink's take on horror.

Murder Drones: Losing your artificiality
WARNING. Discussion of typical Murder Drones gore and fictional mental conditions. Take care.
There is a trope, pretty much as old as sci-fi itself, where the more one becomes a machine the less human they become. Shadowrun has it as a mechanic, Cyberpunk has its cyberpsychosis and there are many examples where a character forced into a machine body loses their emotions.
To become too much of a machine is to lose your touch with emotions and empathy. In the worst cases, even to your morals. A machine only does what it feels is logical.
So, what would happen if the situation was reversed? What if a machine suddenly started becoming more flesh?
Murder Drones discusses this with its titular drone type and with infected Solver Drones.
Now, the basic worker drone is a very human creature. They have emotions, they have faults and they often aren't logical. They are the concept of an AI replicating humanity put to its logical endpoint. However, even if Uzi mentions hormones, it is all simulated.
Sure, to them it feels real (and let's face it, a lot of our own functions are mostly our brain making stuff up), but it is all code and simulations. Something they could technically turn off at will.
What happens when a worker drone gains flesh through the Solver? If Murder Drones was playing this trope reversal straight, it would result in the drone in question becoming more 'real.'
In a way, that is what happens. But instead of the drones becoming more human in an emotional and moral sense, they instead become more human in a baser way. Or, rather, they become more like a flesh and blood animal. Just like humanity is at its core.
The Disassembly Drones and Solver Drones gain urges that are very real and cannot be turned off. They hunger, they seek out something to satiate themselves and they draw pleasure from the process.
The drones gain an id to their already present ego and super-ego. An id that pushes them to consume and revel in it. Yes, it is used to stall overheating, but the way it appears to affect the drones is clearly also tied to hunger.
While a human becoming more machine loses touch with emotions and empathy, a drone becoming more flesh loses parts of its autonomy. They are now driven by primal urges that affect how they think and how they act. And these urges have no 'off' switch.
This change to the primal is shown with the Disassembly Drones having animal parts (tails, wings, extra eyes, claws, etc.) and some Solver Drones literally creating fleshy parts for themselves.
The way the show depicts this goes into the horror of losing your bodily autonomy and control. But it also goes into how these instincts and urges change you as a person as readily as becoming a machine does.
One loses its humanity to cold logic, the other to primal urges. In both cases, what makes one human is gone.
Using machines as the baseline for a story of primal horror is clever because the wet body horror then stands as a stark contrast to the mechanical and clean default.
This theme of the flesh twisting machines is further depicted through the main villain. The Absolute Solver is a singularity, but everything around it draws more from demonic imagery than the horror of an evil AI. The Solver brings it the horrors of the flesh, wrapped in the guise of sci-fi.
Underneath the exterior of a megacorp and its killing machines, you find vampires, witches, demons and even a form of lycanthropy. Creatures of urban horror, of the flesh.
What makes it all interesting, is how we see Tessa combine the two first in the timeline. She dug up both drone corpses and human ones and combined them by giving her reanimated drones human hair. We also see in her room hints that she was interested in alchemy.
Neither machine nor beast can take such an action, it needs a human to show them how.
Murder Drones proves with its use of subversion and tropes of another genre, that a sci-fi story doesn't need cybernetics to depict the loss of humanity. Humanity's own primal nature can be just as effective.

Hiii! For your lovely fae boys for the ask game:
⏮️💬📓
And in general:
🌒🎭
Sigh ur au's rotate in my brain I just love how affectionate they are!!
Hello, dearie!!! Thank you for the questions! @rosescarletful
Here we go:
⏮️ - If you could go back and rewrite any parts of your AU, would you? What would you change? Looking back, I could make some parts of the chapters of Extended Contract a bit longer, however I do also like this where it is progressively getting longer (and more intense storywise). I really like where the story is going so far and I cannot wait to post more chapters.
💬 - How would you describe this AU to a friend who wasn’t in the DCA fandom? A jaded light witch accidentally reveals their true name to a pair of royal Fae that had come to abduct them from a law firm that is run by an evil warlock. Wishing to find a solution for their current situation, the light witch begins a mental game of bargaining with the unhinged Fae King to win back their freedom, but things take a turn and new alliances are forged as the light witch obtains revelations of both their past life and the immortal love they had shared with the royal Fae brothers that transcends time and space. Together, they will work to rebuild what was once torn and broken.
📓 - Show us a current WIP for your AU!
“Is this really necessary?“
“Royal etiquette and tradition. Courtly gallantry is of crucial importance. Additionally, one must demonstrate refinement and confidence through their movement, the ability to command attention. You never know what diplomatic affairs or arrangements may be struck in these close encounters where you have to whisper sweet nothings to the other party as you sway them in every sense of the term.“
You blinked at him.
“It's my birthday, Sun. If I want to sit in the corner with a glass of brandy without elaborating anything, then everyone else in the Celestial Court will just have to deal with it.“
🌒 - Do you prefer Sun & Moon to be separate animatronics or share the same body? I prefer to make them separate and I love to also add Eclipse in the mix to complete the collection haha. I love the dynamics and personality clashes when all three of them are interacting both with Y/N and each other, it is so fun to explore and I can have their conversations in my head for hours.
🎭 - Tell us one cliche/trope you love in AUs and one you dislike. I like to use subversion of tropes a lot, I do this particularly in Tip the Scales a lot, as well as in Sound the Bells. Placing old concepts in completely new situations, it is so fun, especially with also giving everyone an existential crisis while doing it.
Thank you so much for the questions and have an amazing day, dear!
