Happy Storyteller Saturday! A bit more of a craft question this week. How do you approach the events that happen off page? The secondary character's subplots, political machinations, character backstories etc. Is it important to your process to have them planned in detail or do you only address them when it affects the main plot?
Happy STS! Thank you for the ask!
Oh, man, I am obsessed with coming up with events and details that happen off page. Like, all my OCs have a million details about them that couldn't possibly make it to the final draft, or Sunset would somehow be even longer than it already is. I feel like figuring out that kinda stuff is a key part of character creation and development for me. It might never make it to the reader, but I love knowing that Marek had a pet bunny named Rachel (aka "The Boss"), and Emmett's over-the-top Halloween costumes over the years have included the Faun from Pan's Labyrinth, the creature from The Ritual, and a fully articulated Haku from Spirited Away. I love knowing that Darwin has a cat whose name is Dishpan, Alex knows more about dealing drugs than he'd like, Freddie doesn't want anyone to know that one of her favorite movies is Ever After, and Reeve is probably demi-sexual. Adler has a whole off-screen nonbinary partner that never comes up on the page whatsoever, and I know all about Simon (Pluto's second officer) but he barely makes it into the story. There's just so much of the world and it would be overwhelming to include it all (as though it's not already pretty overwhelming). It's just too fun not to indulge in! And who knows? Some of this stuff might end up making it into extras here and there. Not to mention, Sunset includes so many tangled, intricate aspects of the story, including espionage, that we need to keep all the events straight, because even if they're not happening on screen, their ramifications will definitely come up.

IT BEGINS MUHAHAHAHAHA
I've been a "No ships for Alastor" person for the longest time bc I couldn't see him with anyone, but then episode 5 happened and Radioapple has taken over my life. I'm also not a big fan of making fankids/nextgens for my ships bc I don't like the idea that every couple needs a child (plus most of the ships that I like I just can't see dealing with kids)... Howeverrrrr the entirety of this ship is these two goobers trying to out-dad each other, so I just,,, created a child concept... for fun...
Yeah it didn't remain just "for fun" for long lmao, say hi to Cider.
Premise: Lucifer and Alastor both made their own little versions of each other, so they can take their anger out on them, Charlie finds out, the above interaction happens, BOOM! Congratulations you goobers you now have a child.
Charlie is absolutely extatic about her new little brother, Lucifer is shocked at first but comes around quickly, Alastor... Alastor takes a while to warm up to the idea, but Cider's cuteness slowly wins him over. He 100% tries to hide it tho.

GOING
FERAL
Over these two, my god, I can't y'all, this show has me in a chokehold but these two goobers expecially.

I'm running backwards up a halfpipe/pos
Welcome to the game, Daneilla (Danny)Darling! I’m still working on her main-world design, so her Space Riders fit is all I have for now. I’m almost done though! I think y’all will like her!
Anyways, Danny is a young Aerospace Welder and Engineer, and lives on the Intergalactic Emergency Sub-Station: a company, and space station dedicated to preserving life and safe travel through the cosmos. When she’s not traveling with other crews as an on-call engineer for dangerous voyages, Danny is dispatched across worlds to complete maintenance checkups on passing ships and other space stations.
Personally, Danny is a flexible, relaxed young woman with a steady hand and a quick mind. She loves her job, and she’s not working or napping, she enjoys dancing and debating silly questions like weather there are more wheels or doors in the world (she will always say wheels). She isn’t put on the front lines often, considering her lack of supernatural abilities, but her cunning and resourcefulness always keeps her opponents guessing. Her favorite drink is Horchata!
(Space Riders au belongs to @onyxonline)
Alt ref and close ups!
