You Don't Want To See Me Suffer (it's Not Entertaining).

Hi everyone!

Do you know that feeling that you are writing a story, and for once, you are not suffocating in self-doubt? For once, you are actually quite happy with what you’ve written? You might have fallen in love with your own plot and characters, and the only thing you really want to do is delve into a fandom and share that love... right till you realize your novel hasn’t been published yet. Well, if you do, than this blog is the place you were looking for. I love talking about writing, and I love aesthetics, which means I will gladly make a moodboard for any character you entrust me with. You can give me directions, colors, specific wishes and whatever you want, but simply telling me about your character may also do the trick. The more details, the better it will be, thought! I hope there’s a little interest in this idea, and I hope to hear from all of you. Happy writing!

Help!

So this is not writing-related, but I’d love it if some of you could help me out! I am considering studying in Dundee, but I have no idea what the place is like. Has any of you ever been to Dundee? Care to tell me something about it? I’d love you forever for reblogging this message and helping me gather some information!

If you are still interested in ass-kicking warrior ladies, I two in the historical fantasy I'm writing! The first one is Tin. She feels strongly about justice, equality and respect and is always picking fights to protect these values (she has quite a temper). She can throw a punch, but she prefers dueling; her gun Charley is part of her arm at this point. She likes wearing male clothing, though because she is small and curvy, it seldom fits. Luckily she has a friend that helps her adjust it. 1/2

My other warrior lady is called Phosphore. Phosphore’s fighting is more subtle than Tin’s, but definitely as dangerous. She is very smart and prefers using logic and reason to win a fight. Yet, there is always a dagger in her pocket. She is a dancer and with her quickness and agility, she can have her blade to your throat in a matter of heartbeats. The elaborate dresses she wears don’t hinder her. Though she won’t harm without good reason, you are in trouble if you touch her friends. (2/2)

I am always interested in ass-kicking warrior ladies!  And yours sound awesome! Fighting for justice? Being badass? Using wit but also weapons? And being fashionable about it?  

I love them! 100/10! Don’t mess with them! But I do want to be their friend! Also Phosphore is an awesome name!

A moodboard for the perfect asshole Kyle, by @anightravensecho. Thanks for your feedback and stories, and I hope you like this! Requests for OC aesthetics are open.

a tip for writing female characters: don’t be afraid to make her feral. just absolutely batshit. her actual intelligence? that can vary. but bring out the chaotic stupid tendencies. embrace her as a one brain cell enemy of the state

The first story has been written! It is about a forest and a pair of black riding boots. On top of that, let me reveal one more character:  Elliot, the ‘awkward apprentice’, has a talent for luring memories from objects. He has the gentleness and the patience that is required for so delicate a task. But sometimes Gabri worries about him. So many of these treasured objects come with memories of grieve, of lost lovers or lost friends or lost parents. And experiencing all that sadness and anger, even if it is secondhand? She is just not sure if he will have the stomach for it. 

So…  I am thinking of creating a podcast. It would kind of be like the Magnus Archives, in the sense that every episode is its own small story (and maybe connected to a larger frame?).  Only instead of horror, it’s urban fantasy, loosely inspired by Scottish mythology.  And instead of an Archivist, it is told by Gabri, a women in her early thirties running a small antique store. She uses magic to pull the memories from objects; memories she assembles, smooths out and collects.  Prepare for a lot of faeries, magic lore, awkward apprentices, extravagant antique-sellers, apparitions, foggy autumn feelings and summonings.  Would this be something you people would listen to? 

Oh my, thank you so much!! This drawing is beautiful. You have captured him so well, he looks exactly as I imagined him. The colour scheme is lovely, those gold and green shades fit the aesthetic I had in mind. And since his last name is Sun, ‘golden boy’ is perfect! ^^. Thanks so much again for using your time and art to make this. 

A golden boy for @everywriterneedsfanart!
