Okay, so I am writing a collection of novels, as it were. One is a historical (ancient India, but I'm dressing them as medieval era coz I like the clothes better). Second is present time. And third takes place in two times, somewhere between the historical and in present. I have developed a magic system based on chakras and there are spell/mantra (interchangeable words depending on the era). It's also kinda like wuxia or chinese dramas where they have cultivation. People who practice 'magic' grow their 'seed' and achieve abilities with each power level. Also there are two kinds of 'magics' - Shakti - the widely practiced and popular one that is interlinked with the power level system and Shiv - negative or radical magic that disregards all power levels and anyone can do anything with the right spell/mantra. I know these are not technically correct terms. I know that. But I say to make the point that I'm looking for inspiration from other magical systems that are like, not technically correct but have a special flair to them and are based in Indian Mythos.
My magic system is a blend of western magic systems of say The Vampire Diaries Universe or The Magicians (if you've not seen it. you really should) and chinese cultivation type system. What I like about the cultivation system is that anyone can do magic, you don't need special blood or anything, you just need patience and practice. I'm thinking of incorporating the Caste System into the novels too. If you have any inspo for that it'd be appreciated too.

I can't believe I didn't want to watch Wandee Godday series at all because it didn't seem like my type of the story but I appreciated that it was made by The Eclipse team + it seemed to be like the only series where Drake my beloved starred in a small role. BUT THEN!
BUT NOW!
THEY HAVE AN OPENLY ACE CHARACTER! CONFIRMED BY THE ACTUAL TERMS! IN THE VERY FIRST EPISODE! AND HE'S PLAYED BY DRAKE MOTHERQUACKER LAEDEKE!
Please, please, please don't fuck it up. We've been hurt before. I really don't like when characters start 'I don't want to have relationship with someone/sleep with someone' and the entire point of the series is to change them completely, give them a partner and make the story about how wrong they were for being so stubborn. So many series have done that, in a more or less hurtful way.
But idk, I guess I have to start watching Wandee Godday because the proper aspec representation in Thai BLs is almost non-existent. The Eclipse team, I like you, please don't betray my trust xD Explore any and every situation you like but give this character justice. I don't know him and I'm already ready to fight for him.
