happy storyteller saturday!!! uwu who's the villain of your wip? If you don't have a villain, is there an equivalent? How do they contrast against your mcs? ^_^

Happy sts to you as well!!

Who’s the villain of your wip? I‘m playing around with fears, insecurities and christian beliefs in my wip, so there is no real antagonist. But if I had to pick, it would be the villagers and witch hunters, who condemn the MC out of fear and anger. Another morally grey figure would be Anne‘s (mc) father, but he isn‘t meant to be an antagonist either.

How do they contrast against my MC‘s? Anne‘s mindset is very non-violent and kind, so she doesn‘t understand how and why they do horrible things to innocent people. They take action and she doesn‘t, which puts her in a difficult spot. If she doesn‘t learn to stand up for herself, she‘ll probably get killed.

Heyy Vernal! :D happy STS!

Honestly? I love sibling relationships. Perhaps it’s because my relationship with my brothers is so complicated and I just love seeing loving siblings… I love to write about siblings.

Thanks for the ask!

Storyteller Saturday!

I don’t technically have a true villain in One Siren’s Soul because the role is kinda shared/cycles around to a few different characters! Plus, no one is black and white evil or good, so in all honesty, the main protagonists could be called villains depending on what side you’re on.

In book one, Captain Io acts like the “bad guy” for a major portion of it, but then you find out that Rose has actually been manipulating her the entire time so! Really it’s Rose!

In book two, Captain Xuân initially starts out as the villain, but there’s... something funny going on, there. c; More genuinely, Captain Ryans would likely count more so as a small villain, but Rose reappears later on in the book and she still probably hits the top on the “evilness” scale.

And book three mostly focuses on The Scientist! But... is this person actually a villain? Not as much as one of the main four we’ve been following this entire time.

Hey, look at all those spoilers! How fun!

Captain Io and Celestine are the most notable contrast of book one. Seemingly emotionless, obsessed with efficiency and formality and honour, stubborn to a fault on one side vs. an emotional, disorganized and rude and manipulating thief, who’s adaptable to most things thrown her way on the other.

But Io becomes a main character in book two! She and Captain Ryans have been rivals since they were kids, and Ryans goes just... a bit too far on his side when they meet again as adults. They’re both very formal, but the pretentiousness and brash and unnecessary meanness of Ryans is very distinct from Io’s personality. She’s also had a lot of character development by this point, so there’s a lot else but those are spoilers~

And I can’t talk much about Xuân or The Scientist because! Spoilers too!! But in any case, thanks for the ask!

Happy STS!!

My favorite relationship between OCs tend to gear towards platonic friendships! So, I really enjoy writing Aston - Aleks, Matija - Aleks, and Zephyr - Sage / Zephyr - Nyx! Writing soft things without romance is enjoyable, and is a nice break from it!

But I also really adore Nyx/Sage -- they have such a sweet and supportive relationship that they grew into ! They slowly learned to trust each other, and they don’t need to actually kiss or say “I love you” because for them, their feelings are very much obvious towards the end of the book!

Happy STS! Ooh, I can't tell you who it is because it's a spoiler, but I can say there are several deaths presumed to be murders and someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. Thank you for the question!

It was once a human, too.

Happy storyteller saturday!!!!! :D how do your ocs make themselves feel better when they're feeling down?

Tybee is a FIRM believer in Treat Yo’self :P Whether its retail therapy, whinging about on the couch eating bon bons, or curling up with his loves, Tybee is definitely the sort to indulge indulge indulge!

Gil used to go for walks, and still does sometimes. Keeping his emotional state level is very important to him, because his more destructive magics are tied to his mood. The really big stuff only manifests when he’s angry, but if he stays down in the dumps for too long, places can flood from the sheer unrelenting rain. So now, surrounded by good good friends, he’ll either go for a walk, or bake a special treat, or go talk to someone, cause he finally understands its okay to reach out.

Lia wishes she knew how to get herself out of a funk. Usually, her bestie Kyle has come along and boosted her spirits for her before she even really realizes she’s down. When left to her own devices, she’ll listlessly channel surf, try to paint and get frustrated about it, angry clean, then flop back down on her bed exactly where she started.

Happy sts~!! Was there any inspirations for your wip? Was there any for your characters~?:)

@idkhowtoread

Oh god, I’ve had these characters so long and the story has changed so much, its kinda hard to pin down all the inspirations and whether or not they’re still relevant to this version of the story

But I’d say starting to play DnD had a huge impact on the current version and in the past I’d put down Watership Down, Plague Dogs and Felidae as big influences. I’m also super guilty of having daydreams to songs that then effect some developments [Makes note to make that a Spotify playlist]

Weirdly enough King Henry the VIII was an influence on Morrigan, I don’t remember exactly why, this was probably middle school at the time, but it was super important to me that Morrigan’s desire to have children wasn’t seen as a ‘soft’ or ‘good’ trait in her. She didn’t want a family she wanted heirs

Some Fun Meta Notes: 

Morrigan was probably the first OC I ever properly made when I was like 11 and was originally was a dog and supposed to be my deviantart fursona (Obvs she’s gone through massive changes)

In the last story draft Jewell took place in a modern setting and the whole Jewell family were werewolves

Prompt pals!!! OU Marcus and AU Marcus meet!

Thank you for your patience while waiting for me to answer this prompt. (: I hope it’s worth the wait. Here we go, my boys meeting.

WC: 549

I wake slowly, blinking at the brightness of the sun peaking through the blinds. I shield my eyes and turn to kiss my wife-

And fly off the bed, eyes wide.

“Who-who are you?” I stammer, completely taken by surprise. The woman slowly blinks awake, frowning immediately.

“Did you say something, Marc?” She asks sleepily.

“Wait... I recognize you,” I say slowly, eyes narrowing suspiciously. “You’re that... uh, attractive girl my brother introduced me to. Claire...” She looks amused as she stares at me.

“Roleplaying? This early in the morning?” She asks, slowly rising to sit up in the bed. I stare at her.

“Did... did I get really drunk last night?” I ask, rubbing my head as it throbs with stress. “How did I get here? Where am I?” Suddenly, the door swings open and in walks a man that looks exactly like me. She glances toward the door and her eyes immediately widen.

“Is this some sort of joke?” She asks. “I know you’re a triplet, but... there’s two of you?” I’m staring numbly at the other man who’d just entered the room. Who is he? How is there a man that looks exactly like me... and why am I here? This woman must be into some kinky shit if I wake up in bed next to her and he walks in... did we have a threesome with a man that looks exactly like me? My head starts to pound.

“Who is this asshole?” The man asks, voice dripping with venom as he stares me down. She climbs out of the bed. “Which one of you is my husband?” She asks, sounding concerned and a little freaked out. I stare, then point at the other man as he says, “Me. I’m your husband. You can’t tell?” She frowns.

“You two look the exact same,” she protests.

“Where is my family?” I demand. “How’d I get here? Where’s my wife? My kids? Where am I?” The other man takes a threatening step toward me.

“That’s what I want to know. What are you doing in my bedroom?” I blink twice, then glance between the couple.

“Look, my name is Marcus... I met your wife years ago, when we were like 20 or something... and I thought she was cute, I mean look at her... but I’d never-” my face goes bright red as I turn to look at her. “We didn’t... did we?” I ask suddenly. She silently shakes her head. relieved, I let out a breath, but the other man steps toward me again and she quickly grabs his arm.

“Marcus, don’t hurt him. He’s obviously confused and doesn’t understand what’s happening.”

“It could be a rouse,” the other man says.

“Wait... his name is Marcus?” I ask suddenly.

“Yeah,” the man bites back. I stare.

“Um... I’m Marcus. We look the exact same, have the same name... what’s the name of your parents?” I ask.

“None of your business,” he snaps back.

“Mine are Kate and JD Bovington,” I tell him, not even batting an eye at his threats and tone. He stops to stare at me.

“How’d you know the name of my parents?” He asks suddenly, then his eyes narrow again.

“What the hell is going on?” We both ask at the same time.
