#to wear a crown

[thatwritergirlsblog]

Never really thought about it like this... The setting for my fantasy book, To Wear A Crown, has a tropical climate and is largely inspired by Brazil.

I wish I could even start how to write about how tropical or even "warm" places are never portrayed as "home" in art (especially in pop culture), if that makes sense. They are always portrayed as wild places, exotic places, or both, but they're never shown as places were people live their lives.

Main characters don't ever come from a tropical country. There aren't sitcoms set in a hot city in the tropics (well, of course there are telenovelas) about the daily lives of normal people. Fantasy and science fiction series often start in places that look suspiciously like medieval Europe, and when they go to a jungle or desert land or planet, it's because something Exotic is about to happen.

Temperate climates (and their cultures) are The Default. Every other place, in real life or in fiction, is judged against them.

To the point that people who live in the tropics are jealous of snowy Christmas. Because that's what we've been raised with with the cultural monopoly of the US/Europe.

It's so weird. Everything has to have snowy winters, orange fall leaves, and pine trees in fiction. I live in a place where winter lasts a month, there are palm trees everywhere, and long, hot summers. I could never relate. Bro I'm j jus existing here.

Different ghost king outfits! (o^ ^o) Always adored the au as soon as I heard about it, but I never tried to design what it would look like until now! Left outfit is where I tried inverting Danny's usual ghost fit as jumping point, the middle is going ham with more a space/ecto theme, and the last is focusing more on Danny's ice core/powers! The middle's cape, hood, and ruffles near the belt-like bit are all pieces of void/portals, reaching through can pull out anything, and it can shrink or expand to his will!

PRINCESS RHAENYS TARGARYEN, THE QUEEN WHO NEVER WAS:

Born in 74AC on the seventh day of the seventh moon of the year, Rhaenys was the only child of Lady Jocelyn Baratheon & Prince Aemon Targaryen, Prince of Dragonstone and Heir to the Iron Throne and, the eldest grandchild of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen. A clever, capable, spirited, proud, fierce and fearless woman with a fiery temperament, Rhaenys was a great beauty with black hair and lilac eyes. Following the death of her father in 92AC, Rhaenys would be passed over as Princess of Dragonstone and Heir to the Iron Throne by King Jaehaerys I Targaryen in favour of her uncle, Prince Baelon Targaryen. During the Great Council of Harrenhal in 101AC, Rhaenys’s claim for the Iron Throne would again be rejected on account of her sex.

Here’s how I would rank the Bad Batch and their level of spice tolerance

1. Wrecker - Spice king. Will purposefully make his food spicy to add flavor or order a spicy dish. Real champ.

2. Omega - Close second. Likes dishes that are specifically made to be spicy, ie Gregor’s specialty (with a few of Fireball’s spicy modifications) and chili.

3. Crosshair - Likes spicy food and will eat it if he so pleases. Unfortunately….. as per usual… his stomach is not a fan and he gets a TERRIBLE tummy ache

4. Echo - He always gets nervous about trying foods described as spicy (this may or may not have stemmed from an accident involving “Silly me! I must’ve read the amount wrong.” Yes that was Fives.) He’ll cautiously try it and 60% of the time he’s said it wasn’t that bad

5. Tech - Prefers his food not to be spicy because he thinks the burning sensation on his tongue takes away from the main flavor of the dish. Isn’t afraid to express this preference either

6. Hunter - Due to his enhanced taste and smell, it always burns his tastebuds and nostrils pretty bad. He tries to take it like a champ but his eyes will water. Omega has asked him many times if he was crying (he may have been). I have a feeling he wants to like it but physically cannot have it

If you disagree with or want to add on to any of these let me know what you think!! This is just a silly thing I think about sometimes
