A character you haven't talked about as often: Is the character's family traditional or more open to different lifestyles?

Thanks for the ask! (FYI, the question comes from the Family Questions to Improve Your Character post.)

Context:

The world of Orbis has different family configurations in terms of structure. For example, the Verdants consider a standard family unit to have like three or four generations in a household (because many members of a single generation end up dying or getting taken away by the government for being too magical), while the rest of the Emeri consider the standard family unit to be three parents and a child at the minimum, and Damasqus reveneri may practice polygamy, as long as the polycule produces at least one child (so of course they're facing a population issue and the situation of having too many tourists and immigrants).

Regarding similar family lifestyles, the general way of life in Orbis demands that a child be cared for and be taught in the ways of life that their parent/s live.

Actual Answer:

Lerln Vertigris, a Verdant, is more closed to different lifestyles as she doesn't want to "lose" anyone else in her family, in any way. It's also important to note that she (and her mother) served rebels against the government, so she'd be protective of those she considers as part of the community. This becomes an issue with her son, Lyarshu, and Renatheia later on.

In contrast to this, Damasq revenerus Kaine Korvus Maverick has two wives and a son, and no plans (yet) to expand his family in any way. However, since he and his wives are intellectuals, they are quite open to most kinds of lifestyles. In fact, he and his wife Aria live apart from each other to protect their sanity, but for the sake of their boy Ireus they always visit each other for the holidays. Meanwhile, his other wife Katarina isn't even romantically interested in either one of them; she's just there to enjoy having the last name "Maverick" and having their company from time to time.

Then there's also Jakub Lutkyszas. His unit was quite horrified when his giXX (magic index; also known as power level) went beyond what the strongest magic limiter can handle. But, they definitely shrugged, tried to hide it as best as they can, and bought him a one-way ticket out of the Emerald Kingdom. That's a family who isn't traditional; a traditional Emeri family would have reported to the clergy about their member having uncontrollable magic so the clergy can "fix" them. He has not yet seen or heard from any of them ever since, but who knows? Maybe he gets to do so during the ending of Liberatio?

It's Storyteller Saturday! Could you tell me a little about the early drafts of I Met a Girl in the Graveyard?

Heyo! I met a girl in the graveyard was called Graveyard Lesbians until @shannonsketches helped me with a title (and will be making the cover art i am so hype)

The biggest change from beginning to now has been Renfield actually. He was always an old rescue Persian, but he belonged to Josie and was named Lord Ruthven. The name changed based on vibes, but it didn't feel as clean to have Renfield living at someone else's house with how contained the plot already was location-wise. I don't think we ever actually go to Josie's house in this draft?

Here's some early concept art. Very important.

Magnus' ending also shifted, since I didn't have a solid third act in mind, just the very end, where he remained in Renfield's body and enjoyed life as a quiet spoiled housecat. In the previous draft, he was trapped in a poppet then thrown into the bottom of the mines like he actually wanted which also felt really unsatisfying. Since then I've been able to tie things up more cleanly, and with far better planting and payoff. Don't worry though, there will still be a haunted doll in draft 2 yet to come.

I also had renfield become a kind of all powerful necromancer thing which felt really cool in my head, but ultimately served no purpose to the story since the emotional climax in the mines mattered more than a big explosive actiony climax. But also please imagine a tiny cat with his floating evil spellbook raising the dead. It brings me joy.

WHERE DID SEVEN OF YOU COME FROM???

[zackprincebooks]

Hi there! I'm Zack, and I write a lot of queer romance, gothic horror, and occult fantasy! Currently I have a T4T Victorian vampire romance called The Mistress of Rosehorn Hall and a paranatural pseudo-history romance called Godhunt (which is on hold until Rosehorn is completed.)

You can read them both on my Ream for free!

Hey guys! My queue is once again empty so I'd love to reblog more of ya'lls writing!

Writeblr has been quite dead lately so to liven it up a bit, feel free to use this as an opportunity to link anyone's writing you think could use a boost too!

Rules: Share a snippet of your writing!

Draft 2 of YWIMC is almost complete, so I figured I’d celebrate with a smooch from Ali and Noah 🧞‍♂️✨

“‘Uhibuk….” Noah closed his eyes as Ali leaned in for another gentle kiss.

“‘Uhibuk….” Ali whispered against his lover’s luscious lips, connecting them in a slow, methodical rhythm.

‘Ali….’ Noah hummed in his mind as he moaned into the kiss. ‘….make me yours.’

Ali smirked into the kiss as a low rumble escaped his own throat. ‘Is this a wish, Noah, or a command?’

‘A command.’

‘In that case, who am I to refuse?’

Leaving this tag +open and gently alerting the tag list. Happy smoochin, and spread the love far and wide 💛💫✨

🌐7 Circles🌐 An Intro Presentation

There's no such thing as being too late to a trend (is what I'm telling myself here.)

Made using Canva. Extra slide via link cuz Tumblr caps at 10 pics. Also may be better quality.

This took a really long time but I'm really happy with the results!! 😭💕 Trying to explain or summarize my story is hard and nerve-wracking but something about making a presentation clicked for me.

Seeking Volunteer Alpha Readers

Kinda like beta readers. but even earlier. Rachelle and I are still working on outlining the first book and there are a few spots that we're having trouble with because I think we're cursed with the knowledge of knowing what happens next so all the little clues and details feel really obvious to us but might not be for the audience.

So if anyone is interested in being a fresh pair of eyes, drop your discord below if you've got it [if you don't, just comment below, and I'll work with you individually, discord is just the easiest way to collaborate]

I’m hella new to the idea of tagging my story so apologies if I don’t really know what to tag my story with/I do it wrong

If you liked… you might like this: The Lunar Chronicles, Arc of a Scythe, Uglies, The House of the Scorpion, The Red Queen Series

Trigger warnings: This story deals with an oppressive government which includes things like police brutality, gaslighting, mental and physical abuse, and general violence as well as PTSD

Would rate PG-13 ish? Uncertain.

Synopsis:

Deviants are born different.

Caspian is a deviant. More than anything he wants to be a doctor. But the laws against deviants prevent him from being able to take on medical training beyond being a nurse.

Adrian is a deviant. He has spent his entire life struggling under the weight of government expectations and military power. He has spent the last five years conspiring with others to put an end to deviant oppression.

When an accident at the hospital gets Caspian arrested, he is thrown headfirst into Adrian’s revolution and discovers who he really is.

Thank you!!! 🙏✨

“Dinner will be on its way. We don't have to eat in the main banquet hall; we can eat somewhere more private.” Mu Qing hates that Hua Cheng is able to look so nonchalant when he's naked and disheveled. “What do you think?” The idea of a private dinner with his lovers is almost as enticing as bathing with them. Mu Qing is stunned by the mere mental images of washing Hua Cheng's face and feeding Xie Lian from his own chopsticks. “I think he likes that a lot,” Xie Lian says smoothly, coming up from behind Mu Qing. His hand gently reaches up to pull a pin out of Mu Qing's hair and let his hair cascade down his shoulders. “Don't you, Mu Qing?”

Chapter 5 (witness part 2) is live!

[sidhewrites]

If your characters were dishes at a restaurant, what kind of restaurant would they be served at and what kind of dishes would they be?

Thank you for the ask!

As always, these characters are from I met a Girl in the Graveyard

Kaz is a 5'2 gym bro who loves halloween and landscaping. She dyes her hair pink, drinks too much coffee, and spoils her geriatric cat Renfield (so named because he used to like eating bugs). All this leads to the obvious: She is a sugar-filled chocolate frappe with a heap of whipped cream and chocolate syrup drizzled on top, specifically purchased from a locally-owned cafe that overcharges on this specific drink because it's a headache to make, but it's still popular.

Josie is much more level-headed but still undeniably approachable -- a squid-ink fettucini cooked al dente with alfredo sauce, with the perfect amount of seasoning and butter. She's a pushover and a people pleaser who struggles to speak up when her boundaries are crossed, but she's also incredibly passionate and intelligent. She'd be at a mid-tier Italian restaurant where you can expect each plate to be approx $20-30, but the bread they serve you before the meal is to die for.

(The squid ink pasta specifically is because she's spooky and wouldn't accept being just any color pasta)

Lucy is (a ghost) a deceptively sweet, incredibly intelligent woman who has a not-so-secret mischievous side. She would likely be a unique, surprisingly alcoholic drink at a trendy bar that you wouldn't expect to find anywhere else. I'm thinking it would be something really fun like an alcoholic dark chocolate-lavender ice cream float, with black edible glitter mixed in (because she's extra). It would be mildly sweet, but not too sweet that you couldn't taste the alcohol. I unfortunately know next to nothing about alcohol types so I'm just sort of gesturing vaguely at whatever that one is.

Bonus: Renfield is a tuna salad sandwich from Subway. It probably won't make you sick, but do you really want to risk it?

Heads Up, Seven Up Tag

Thank you for the tag @zackprincebooks

Since I just released a chapter of Bloody Hands are Kind.... of course imma use those

Johanna had long since come to terms with the fact that, although she was friends with Jem—the nickname a marker of their friendship—he would never tell her everything. She didn't think the guy had been fully honest with anyone in his life, whether in action or straight up lies. That's just who he was. You learn to read him for some information, but you'll never know everything. He's a true enigma.

A little less than 7, but if I did seven it wouldn't make sense to read lol

Intriguing questions posed!

The Mistress of Rosehorn Hall, Chapter 5: The Trap

Vampire fraud? Vampire fraud:

What for this farce, this carousel of family members masquerading as one another? Who is buried in the family cemetery behind the house? What of the wives and husbands of the lords and ladies that married into Rosehorn Hall? Sarah sees them next to their noble spouses; among those bearing the Rufus name, all but a few lived normal lives and died normal deaths. All of it centers on the Battle of Tewkesbury. The few portraits that exist from before the Wars of the Roses depict different family members than the dozen who have swapped ownership of Rosehorn Hall over the centuries. Their death dates and causes of death are also natural, at least for the time period. This is what sent Sarah on her mission in the first place: What really happened at the Battle of Tewkesbury between Lord Rufus and Sir Linwood?

The need for arms and armor far exceeded that which could be met my the village stockpiles. Many resorted to scrounging about their houses looking for family heirlooms and the spoils from long forgotten battles. Every last trophy room, roof rafter, and fireplace mantle was relieved of its contents.

✨Seven Sentence Sunday🧞‍♂️✨

Happy Sunday, lovelies! 💛💫✨

Thank you so much again to all who have tagged me! I always love peeking at your art and writing, and feel free to add me to any tag lists! ❤️

Here are my seven sentences from YWIMC 🧞‍♂️✨:

‘Remember Spring Break?’

“….” Noah blushed, carefully removing his glasses before the lenses fogged up. He remembered the evenings where Ali and him were under the throw on the couch, enjoying Baltic pastries and commenting on the architectural design of Mayan temples. He recalled Ali’s arm wrapping around his shoulders and pulling him closer as they watched Blue Planet. Noah could taste Sharma on his lips as if it were yesterday, feel his roommate’s skin on his own, smelt that sweet cologne lingering in the hall in front of the bathroom that he looked forward to every morning. Burying his face in the short silk of Ali’s shirt as the genie saved him from two deserts that week; and in both….Noah remembered just how safe he felt in Ali’s arms.

‘…..Yeah. I do.’

Leaving this tag +open and gently poking my tag list to alert of more writing. Have a great week, everyone! 💛💫✨

Beach Episode OG Tag ✨️

It's gonna take a long, long time but I just realized with horror and glee that I will eventually have the opportunity to write a 'beach episode' in my WIP 🌐7 Circles🌐 😂

So with that on my mind have another new tag game:

What would your ocs do in a beach episode? 🌊⛱️

Can they swim? Any activities they would particularly love or hate?

Kazimier 💋

Can't swim, never learned. Hates the sand. Doesn't like bright sun. Would spend her time under an umbrella drinking and judging people. Would shapeshift into a feminine body for the sole purpose of wearing a racy sexy swimsuit.

Klaus 🌻

He grew up in a desert and has probably never seen the ocean. His fae side would take over and he would be playing in the water, watching sea critters with wonder, and having (literal) magic moments with local plants while soaking up the sun.

Valian 🐁

He can doggy paddle, his thin little tail acting as a clumsy rudder. He can eat a surprising amount of watermelon and happily monches on slices- seeds, rind, and all- while watching the waves. Might pick a fight with a crab (he'd win though).

Seeker 🌠

Can swim, but struggles with cold seawater. Seeker spends time with each of the three others; laying out towels to lounge with Kaz, squealing as seaweed moves like snakes to Klaus' magic, and slicing watermelon to hand to Val. I think Seeker would be into building sandcastles and the other three would help in one way or another.
