me poorly restraining my Too Many Thoughts about chantry reformation: "haha yeah.... it would be neat. :)"

anyway i'm glad people liked my "varric tethras accidentally domino effects his pulp novels into contributing to a chantry schism" niche genre of posting... make sure to like and subscribe for more incredibly specific hot takes like "what's memento mori style painting like in thedas" and "was the veil a mass extinction event" and "varric could be sheherzade but to an angry titan" and "solas would stop wanting to end the world if given a watercolour set <3" etc.

Sorry I can't hold it in. There's way more I need to say but in PHF canon the economy is in fucking shambles. I'm sorry Giorno but you cannot recover from getting rid of an eleven figure profit. If they're talking about lira it's practically nothing so I have to assume that it's converted to euros or something. Eleven fucking figures. Passione is not recovering from that loss. Giorno you can't just do that.

Oh yeah yesterday I went to my C programming professor's office hours to ask about what's being covered in class tomorrow. Since I can't go bc of my PT appointment overlapping with it & I'm apparently the kind of student that cares about attending every single class now.

While I was there, I ended up chatting with him about a few things, including my current standing in the class. He asked what I got on the midterm exam, & I answered it was an 87, and he told me I was one of the top 5 or 6 scores in the Whole Class (this being a like. Maybe 70 or so person class). Top score was a 92 or 93 (idr lol) & the class average was a 72. Apparently there were a few of us in the upper 80s/lower 90s, but most people got 70s or lower. And once he does the curve on the exam, he said I'd probably end up with a 97 or so on the exam. So yay!!!

And then he told me how he's noticed how I come to class every day and am really active with taking notes and answering questions. Bc I also sit up front all the time lmao. Hadn't even realized how much of a damned teacher's pet I've been being, but I've been Trying to be a good student this year. But he said I was the type of student that if I got an 88% or smth in the class, he'd likely bump me up to a 90% so I'd get an A lol. But he also said so long as I keep up with how I have been, I could possibly get a 100% in the class by the end (bc I've been there for all the extra credit questions in class and whatever).

And just. I went there bc I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything important in class on Wednesday, and I ended up having my ego stroked for Real. Felt good to have my efforts be recognized.

(I'm @humbly-a-doppelganger it's just that I can't send an ask from an account that's not my main)

I LOVE LUCINA ALREADY. She sounds so so so cool, no wonder she's your favourite (?). Also also, I can already tell her relationship with Marius is incredibly fun to write (and a bit of unsolicited advice, maybe see if there's an existing monarchy that allows for cousins to be princes/princesses? I think that's the case for the British monarchy--look up Michael of Kent)

What's your wip?

(Also I think I'm the only aroace writer who actually loves writing romance? Sure, I started my book when I didn't think I was either asexual nor aromantic, and my romances are very very very slow burn, as in they only kiss 2k pages in, but I like exploring that type of dynamic from a safe distance--in real life I'm a bit of a relationship hater though lol)

I glad you like Lucina!!

with the whole monarchy thing, its not super worked out right now many because I LOVE making things harder for myself and I over think everything. 😭basically the setting is based on our world (and only eurasia & africa) but its not 1 to 1, partially because of the fantasy elements (there like god/goddess-like figures that gift people magic more or less) and they've affected history significantly. I haven't really put a lot of thought of what the upper classes/nobility look like yet (like is there Dukes? idk) but it does exist and is heavily influenced by who has magic. I just need to sit down and figure out how exactly it differs from our world, and that didn't really occur to me as something I need to do that until I was writing up Marius's little summary tbh.

Their family is also a bit of a special case, since they all get their powers from the Moon God/Guardian/Spirit/whatever I end up calling them. basically who gets magic is basically a game of chance or comes down to weird parameters the Gods establish and they all go about it differently; with the Moon Guardian, he blesses any baby born on the night of the full moon. as a way to control who's born (& therefore gets magic), anyone going into labour is given a herb that delays birth but its not 100% effective so the babies that are born are believed to deserve their magic because they fought for it. most powerful families do get around having the herb but in Marius and Lucina's family everyone is born on the full moon and nobody really knows how they manage it.

my wip is basically non existent rn because i spent all my time just thinking about it rip. but I do want to make an effort to write some shorter episodes about different characters this year because I feel like that will force me to actually make decisions. with the picrews, they kinda force me to actually think about what colour their hair is and choose something and I hope to do the same with worldbuilding/dynamics/backstory etc. plus then I'll have something that I can then build off of that not vague ideas tumbling around in my head for years on end.

also I don't mind writing romance either! i find it really fun to write, and creates different dynamics and whatnot. its just not my default ig? like with some books it something feels like they approach it with romance in mind first and everything else second, and that's just not how my brain works lol. it feels like i have to deliberately think about romance a lot of the time because otherwise I just absentmindedly leave it off to the side. its been happening with my beauty and the beast retelling too which... is a very famous love story I fear. i would not be surprised if when I do eventually write the first draft one of the major fixes i have to make is adding in more romantic elements because in the moment of writing i forgot about them 😭😭

Patti LuPone knew what tf she was doing because when I fell you that I had -1000% interest in ever even watching a trailer for that Agatha Marvel show until she revealed it’s a musical…

Intentionally shattering a city’s health system so you can go on murdering civilians peacefully knowing there would be no doctors and no tools to save them is the most evil kind of genocide I’ve ever seen.

Honestly, the existence of Hellfire is necessary and completely justified. I can’t wait for these criminals to wake up next to Pharaoh and Hitler.

Small Incendiary Update:

T-minus 24 hours until Chapter 10 of Incendiary drops!

I've made some dialogue edits and added additional scenes in Chapter 10 that makes this chapter bump up to 9.4k words from it's previous 8.4k, oops sorry not sorry. :) But that definitely makes this chapter tie almost neck to neck with the longest chapter in Incendiary so far, that title taken by Chapter 3 at a whopping 9.5k words!

Let this make up for the fact that I may not be releasing Chapter 11 for some time, since it's still very much in the rough draft phase of writing and I'm still writing the beginning part of it. By some time, that I'm not really sure of. It entirely depends on how soon I manage to get a new job, or not. It may be a month, it may be a few weeks. But as of right now, I'm actively writing Chapter 11 during my downtime every day!

If I have a feeling that it might take a while to release, I may drop a teaser here on tumblr for you guys to read as an early sneak peak so you aren't left completely high and dry, cause I know how that feels being a reader too. And I love all of y'all. <3 Thanks for reading this update!
