a character focused playlist 1. Heart of Courage by Two Steps from Hell 2. Youth by Daughter 3. Monster - EPIC the musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans 4. Eternity by Alex Warren 5. Time to be Awesome from the My Little Pony Movie 6 The Call by Regina Spector
I love when a character arc playlist comes together... even if it's completely incomprehensible to anyone else #writesky #WHN
Seeing it was Brian Lilley and the Toronto Sun, I knew it was going to be a garbage op-ed, and it was. However, @jvipondmd.bsky.social got an unkind shout out in it, as did #WHN.

#FantasyIndiesJuly Day 16 #WHN #writesky
I think the perspective would definitely sour. Can certainly say it would go a more cynical direction as one of Gwen's (the MC) goals is to celebrate the best of humanity and the wonders left to discover in the world

For the right to die like a human. Die like an animal. A flower. An ant. A star. The sun. But carbon and the quantum nature of the soul are never wasted.

#FantasyIndiesJuly Day 8 #WHN
I honestly can't pick who's the funniest!Generally my style comes down to being rather sardonic but each character has a different way of expressing themselves so their style of comedy reflects that.The main character for instance is rather silly compared to her friend

#FantasyIndiesJuly Day 7
Once Upon A Time...
... the world fell into the bed of its own chaos. A thousand cuts bled over. All in fractures. Splinters. Divided.

#FantasyIndiesJuly Day 3
Animal friends "Spirits"for WHN are similar to anyone who's read the Golden Compass series. Except the soul bound creature isn't a shapeshifting entity that settles eventually, but bases its form on the wish the user made to bring it into the nonmagical world

If this project had a "the characters are running around with important set-pieces the audience will know the importance of later this is just to get you hyped anime openings" then it would be to "Why Worry" by Set It Off

As a queer writer I want to write stories that I love while seeing the people that I love reflected within all of them. Myself included.

6. Curses and blessings both exist! If a fairy likes you (or wants you to learn a lesson) they may leave you with a magical effect. Curses can be cured, if healers know the source of it. If that's unknown then it's essentially a chronic condition with social stigma

"For as long as Death kept you in its sights like all other it seeks to claim." Still not looking away from her formally-human husband. "We healed it when you agreed to be ours. Knew the girdle would protect from time siphoning you away from us but..." Covered the scar and the shame she felt towards it. "It grew." Gwen finished. "It will continue to grow." He stopped hiding it. "The reality is it will continue to grow until it encircles my neck completely and my head will fall just like my husband's did all those years ago at the Christmas banquet. It was the blow we agreed upon even if his joviality sought to circumvent." Lady B locked eyes with Gwen to speak plainly. "Fae Magic is what keeps my beloved alive. And it's Fae Magic that will take him from us." Before Gwen could express her sympathies Gawain directed his lady away from her. From everyone. His focus swept away the rest of the world. His scarred hand cupping her face. "Remember what I asked in my vows?" Continued on without her prompting. "How immediate was my devotion?" "I don't care how long it took. I care for its longevity. Is your devotion long-lasting?" She recited back like they were about to exchange rings and wine cups. He brought their foreheads together. "I'd argue forever." She huffed a laugh. "A distance I don't believe in." His response a breath. "For me could you try?"

5. My MC does have a mentor! Her mother the Queen Champion as well as the tutors her mother hires. As a wandering bard type though MC Gwen would probably say the road and the people she meets on it are her teacher

5. MC's thoughts on angels/demons - the topic makes her sad and uncomfortable. Might even describe it as a heavy guilt

For virtues and sins, I'm going to interpret as things that are encouraged/discouraged. People are encouraged not to lie, do harm to others, and especially not upset the Fae. They are humans Good Neighbours after all.

Day 4 (caught up!) #FantasyIndiesJune #WHN #writeksy
Protagonist Gwen would say her odd talent is being flexible enough to lick her elbow. Everyone else would say her unique ability is her status as the hero of the prophecy who represents the vitality of humanity
Day 3 #FantasyIndiesJune #WHN #writesky
Magic is balanced within the human soul. From ten types humans can do magic by interpreting what that element means to them. There's an outer circle of magic from the world and an inner circle from more ethereal sources.
Day 2 #FantasyIndiesJune #WHN
short answer: more magic than science
long answer: in WHN the world has to try and find a balance in power. Forces like magic and science are both tools for humanity to try and recover from a great calamity that changed the world so long ago that it's become legend

3. Hierarchies - for demons, angels, and similar there's less a hierarchy of leadership and more an order of how quickly something can kill.
From fastest threat to slowest
Dragon -> Angel -> Ghosts -> Demons

Combining both days with #writesky #JuneWorldbuilders #WHN
1. Though they use Abrahamic imagery, I wouldn't say one way or the other. More a situational threat
2. Angels - all seeing creatures that can provide great insight for an infinite number of futures, if they still remember how to speak

“A hero refuses the call until she understands her destiny.” The voice was not his. Not the jovial spring of words he was known for. When Gwen shook his shoulders he came clear of it. “Did you say something dear?”
More and more he spiral liked that.

Debating on what project to work on during my hiatus from #WHN #WriteSky #writing
1. The Boat - a story of navigating the deadly ocean and treacherous ships sailing them
2. Against Bombs With Bandages - a historical trans romance set during WWI
3. Hope Springs Potatoes - post apocalyptic road trip
Maris was prepared for this king killer to have the worst of intentions.Yet if he did a fraction of what she feared for Kari then dying daily would be the least of his concerns.Yet between one moment and the next Maris felt her boiling rage cool.A wet weighted blanket over a candle.
