The end of online privacy

Now, this isn't something I usually post about from my silly goofy k1nk account (reminder to minors to not follow or scroll this acount).

But I have more followers on here than main, and this is extremely important. Like, scary shit.

This applies to everyone. If you're reading this? It's going to effect you.

I'm sure perhaps some of you have seen around about a this thing going around... KOSA, is one of the ways it's being referred to.

If this shit passes, lemme tell you...

LGBTQ+ adults and minors seeking help and community,

people looking for abortions,

people organizing protests,

anyone using their free speech to voice concerns about injustices, 

even FAN ARTISTS...

Even people reading fan fiction...

And for the purposes of where I'm posting from... people sharing and enjoying their k1nks, wanting to post things with safety and privacy... smut artists and writers, people even LOOKING for smut...

It's all gone. No privacy.

They'll have your face, your name, your age, where you live.

You'll need an ID to use any US-based platform, even if you're NOT in the United States.

Instead of dooming, here's what you can do to stop this shit in it's tracks 👍

Here is a website where you can sign a letter just by filling out a form, (it takes less than 30 seconds) and where you can call reps.

I HIGHLY suggest leaving calls if you're able, and if you have phone shyness, do this after 6pm, since it will leave messages instead.

I'm shy, but I did it!

Here's another letter to sign, takes less than 20 seconds.

Here is a form you can fill out sharing how the social media has POSITIVELY effected you.

Share all of this with as many people as you can. Our safety, freedom, joy, and protection online is at risk more than ever.

(Here is the thread where I found all of this information.)

STAY SAFE!

SMALL UPDATE

I'm officially naming my rewrite "Like a Shooting Star" in honor of my first ever 7DS/NNT fanfic I wrote at 13—LASS for short.

I'll still tag posts with #nnt rewrite but from now on, I'll also be adding the #lass and #like a shooting star tags! Just to further differentiate my rewrite from others.

NNT Races

Though I've been slow on the drawing side, I haven't stopped working on the rewrite! I made a list of races I want to include in my rewrite, including any potential hybrids and spirits.

NOTE: These are subject to change, I'll let you know when the list is finalized.

Hi there 👋,

My name is Mohammad, and I’m reaching out in a moment of desperate need. I’m a father of three young children living in Gaza, and we are caught in the midst of a catastrophic war. Our home is no longer a safe haven, and the future here seems increasingly uncertain. 💔

I’ve launched a fundraising campaign with the goal of raising $40,000 to relocate my family to a safer place where my children can grow up in peace and have a chance at a brighter future. 🕊️🇵🇸

Unfortunately, my previous fundraising efforts were abruptly halted when my account was terminated without explanation. However, I remain determined to keep fighting for my family’s safety and well-being. 🫶

If you could take a moment to read our story, consider donating, or simply share our campaign with others, it would make an incredible difference. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to safety and a new beginning. 🙏

Thank you for your time, compassion, and support. ❤

Oh, of course! I wish you nothing but safety!

[thenntrewrite]

hello hello I have just discovered your project! first of all, Aleron is gorgeous--all of your art style is--but she's so pretty!! Secondly, might I beg you for some lore about your kingdom of Tintagel? I ask because I invented a kingdom of Tintagel for NNT and then got so attached to the name I started using it in original projects too lol. And I'd love to see what your Tintagel is like!

Oh my goodness, thank you so much for your kind words! And I'm always happy to share!

Lore-wise, for my Tintagel, it's run by a faerie monarch named Gorlois in a faerie country called Cornwall. Some time ago, the faeries have separated themselves by countries in their own realm (separate from Britannia that dwells in the human realm) rather than all stayed in one area. Gorlois' father (who I will dub Tintagel), once a proud warrior, took a group that wanted nothing to do with the on-going Holy War and made them a sanctuary in a country far from the Faerie King's forest (name change impending haha). The Sacred Tree, who had many duplicates of itself throughout the land, would bestow its powers upon Tintagel so he may better protect the faeries. That sanctuary grew bigger over time to the point that it became the size of a human kingdom. Tintagel had his child, Gorlois, and once dead, the Sacred Tree passed the crown on to Gorlois. And Gorlois proudly ran that kingdom until his dying breath. His kingdom was left untouched, as he had befriended Gloxinia, the faerie king chosen by the Sacred Tree at the time. Aleron, his only child, never took the throne and effectively abandoned the kingdom, though it still thrived under Malvolia... sort of. And Aleron wouldn't take back the throne until much later.

Appearance-wise, Tintagel has no traditional buildings. Bestowed with the Sacred Tree's blessing, everything was made from trees, fungus and any vegetation. Everything in the faerie realm is that much bigger to the point that instead of horses running things, it's bunnies pulling carts or fun inventions crafted from leaves, twigs and sap. Lights were fireflies trapped in flowers, flowers were used as cushions, beds were made of soft cotton, acorns were used as jars—a vastly different world from Britannia.

This is all a rough idea, but I want everything to feel very magical and different when visiting places in the faerie realm like Tintagel and the Faerie King's forest, and have some real meaty, but sweet lore behind it!

Aleron (Left, @thefirstshootingstar / @thenntrewrite ) & Aethena (Right, Mine/Main blog: @lucespringstar)!

I DOODLED HER AND I’S NNT BBS, I MADE A COMMENT ABT GIVING AL GOLD COINS AND THIS IMAGE FORMED IN MY MIND AND IT JUST HAD TO BE DRAWN.

[thenntrewrite]

If you’re interested in my Morgan OC you can check out my content blog, there’s a link on my main account. 😃

I intend on making a new blog solely for SDS/NNT content soon as well.

Also, another question. I noticed that you made Ban a Werefox. Are you making it so the Sins have one of every race?

Oh that's awesome! I'll be sure to check it out.

Also, yes! I intend on making the Sins different races—mainly in physical appearance since they all just looked like humans in varying sizes. Most of their races stayed the same, but the idea goes a little something like this:

Meliodas: Demon (Goat since they're the ones depicated as devils)

Ban: Beast-man (Foxes since it fits him well)

Diane: Giant (More Earth-like attributes since giants have a connection to the Earth)

King: Faerie (More plant-like features since faeries are one with nature)

Escanor: Human (Not much of a difference here)

Merlin: Unknown (I'd have to think more for Merlin, but she'd disguise herself as a human)

Gowther: Doll (Doll-like features that poses as a demon)

[thenntrewrite]

Ahh I LOVE Arthur and Aleron having a positive sibling relationship. They’re so cute in their own way. Arthur having a positive relationship with his sister in general nice and hard to come by in Arthurian works lol.

I have a Morgan Le Fay OC as well, and I enjoy writing about their wholesome relationship. (Well, wholesome up until 4KotA but I digress).

Thank you so much! Honestly, we need more positive sibling relationships and it'd feel wrong if I made their relationship hostile with how chill Aleron is and how carefree Arthur can be, haha. They deserve all the fluff. (It might change in 4KOA, but we'll see when I get there).

You have a Morgan le Fay OC as well? That's so cool! Love seeing Morgans and Arthurs having the wholesome sibling bond that they deserve. (And used to have until it got super popular to make Morgan le Fay the villain).

[thenntrewrite]

I’m curious, what’s Morgan’s/Aleron’s relationship with Arthur like? Cuz they half-siblings essentially. 👀

(Hey, thanks for being my first ever ask!)

Aleron and Arthur's sibling relationship is sort of complicated but not really. They balance each other well and it's a lot more positive than one would think.

For Aleron, when she does become aware that Igraine is her mother reincarnated, she's not exactly sure how to feel on being indirectly related to the Pendragon family. Even if Arthur is technically her half-brother, she remains pretty neutral towards the young king. And not because she hates him, but she's not sure how to react to him. She lost her family many centuries ago and found solace in the one companion she kept along her journey. But it's notable that she does, indeed, have a soft spot for him since he coaxes out her childish side that was abandoned way too early in her life. It's just shown in subtle gestures. But she wouldn't outright claim him as her younger brother. Maybe if Arthur asked, she'd consider it.

On the flip side, Arthur's just ecstatic to have an older sister figure in his life that responds to him a lot better than his foster brother ever did. He finds joy in her company, and can read her moods with ease. Aleron would be the first person he goes to for anything, whether it's advice, seeking answers to a question, or just wanting to see what she's up to. Her mellow energy keeps him grounded and her maturity does rub off on him. He's not aware of Igraine being Aleron's reincarnated mother, but he does get the sense that his mother and the mage share a special bond, and that's just a win in his book. If anybody asks him, he'd happily declare Aleron as his 'big/older sister'.

[thenntrewrite]

I'm slowly, but surely working on the NNT rewrite, but please have this sketch of Aleron in the meantime

[thenntrewrite]

I'm sure I made this pretty obvious already, but I love OCxCanon ships, and I have a very big one for this NNT rewrite. I'd like to introduce Meliron, a ship between Aleron (OC) and Meliodas (Canon)! They're a very, very, very slow burn ship, and I made a Google Doc on how they'd most likely fall in love in a way that makes sense for the story, themselves and Meliodas and Elizabeth's newly formed platonic soulmates bond.

Here's the tale of how their bond begins and how their future molds and intertwines.

I hope you enjoy!

Bonus Meliron drawing:

[thenntrewrite]

I finally gave life to human versions of Meliodas and Ban in the form of busts!

[thenntrewrite]

Tonight my thoughts are very full of Aleron

[thenntrewrite]

The next redesigned Sin is officially finished!

Ban

Ban's no longer a human—he's now a beast-man.

The idea was to pay homage to his sin and make him a different race that wasn't a human since Escanor's already a human, and I want to keep him that way. I thought a beast-man, based on a fox, would fit him perfectly for a few reasons:

Zhivago (it'd deepen their already cute father-son dynamic), it'd add lore reason to why Ban is in pursuit of a longer lifespan since beast-men canonically have a shorter lifespan than humans by a bit (outside of getting killed by humans), and foxes are usually considered 'devious thieves' and Ban fits the bill pretty well.

His eye-patch and arm isn't just for show—he actually lost his eye and limb in battle against the Red Demon when he first became immortal. The idea is that even if he can't die, he can still lose parts of himself like his legs, tail, arms, ear, etc., which would force him to be more careful I'd say. The wounds heal, but it can't regenerate. Plus, it'd play into his whole 'Sin of Greed' and how in the pursuit of greed, one can lose everything even if achieve what you wanted, in the end.

[thenntrewrite]

This is Part II of my list of NNT OCs for the rewrite:

Uther Pendragon: The father of Arthur and the husband of Igraine. He took a liking to Merlin around the time Arthur was born and had her appointed as his personal royal court mage. He also went along with the idea of giving up Arthur as a newborn to Sir Ector if it meant he’d prosper and would be safe. Uther was the King of Camelot until he became unfit when Arthur was sixteen. Since he was the current wielder of Excalibur, out of paranoia of being overthrown, he takes the sword and shoves it into the stone with all of his might, deeming that whoever pulls it out can be the new king (It was also a test for Arthur, who he knew to be old enough). Miraculously, when the sword was out of his possession, he became better. But a promise is a promise. He couldn’t be more proud of his own flesh and blood becoming the new king.

Guinevere Cameliard: The princess of Cameliard, and the daughter of Leodegrance. She's in an arranged marriage with Arthur Pendragon, and a student of magic. She's one of the first students of Aleron, who reluctantly takes the princess in after a few pushes from Arthur and Igraine. 

Leodegrance Cameliard: The father of Guinevere and the King of Cameliard. He's the best friend of Uther Pendragon, and one of his closest allies. He's taken a shine to Arthur and was the one to propose the arranged marriage. 

Ector: Arthur's adoptive father and Kay's biological one. Merlin gave the newborn to Ector, who took him in, not knowing that he was the prince of Camelot, and raised him as his own. He was the boy's personal trainer in swordsmanship. He was also Camelot's commander.

Vlasta: A demon that deflected from the Holy War centuries ago. Once a fierce-some warrior on the battlefield and a remarkable blacksmith, she sticks with Arne and they both decide to run a church and nunnery together. She's the head nun and one of Aleron's teachers. She and Arne eventually marry. Vlasta keeps an armory underneath the church and sharpens blades in her free time to keep herself from going rusty.

Arne: Often referred to as 'Father Arne', he's a demon that deflected from the Holy War and found comfort in a church who worshiped the Goddesses. On a whim, he decides to become a priest and speaks gospel about the Goddesses. He's one of Aleron's teachers, and enjoys drinking all the church's wine. Never drinks on the job, but after in the privacy of his home? It's all fair game.

Malvolia: Once a mage of the Kingdom of Tintagel and teacher of Aleron, after Gorlois died and Aleron abandoned the throne, she took over as ruler. Becoming powerful over time, she plots the downfall of everyone and anyone that was Gorlois' enemy. She considers Aleron an enemy of the nation as well.

Part I

[thenntrewrite]

I love making OCs, and this rewrite will inevitably have a lot of them, or at least a good handful of them. I'll write out a list and make little blurbs for each of them—the skeleton of the characters, if you will! Aleron/Morgan le Fay: The main protagonist of the rewrite that's a celestial-faerie hybrid. She's the former princess of the Kingdom of Tintagel that becomes a traveling mage that lives for thousands of years. She's the oldest companion of Meliodas and the main alchemist/doctor of the group. Also the stocker of the Boar's Hat. Prior to that, she's usually the royal court mage of kingdoms. Rhiannon/Igraine Pendragon: The mother of Aleron, the wife of Gorlois and the older sister of Avalon. Once was considered the best of the Goddess mages, but she died during the war. She gets reincarnated as Igraine le Fay many, many centuries later and marries Uther Pendragon to have their son, Arthur Pendragon. The memories of her past are restored early in her life, and she was the one who hired Aleron as her own personal royal court mage—a counter to Merlin and simply to have her daughter from another life closer to her. Gorlois: The father of Aleron and the husband of Rhiannon. He was once remarked as a great king, and a remarkable battle tactician. He was friends with Gloxinia until the faerie king deflected to the demons. Gorlois survived the war and died when he reached old age. Avalon: The younger sister of the dearly departed Rhiannon. A Goddess warrior that lives and breathes the path of the blade. She sealed her soul in the body of birds, living on for thousands of years. She harbors a deep hatred for demons. Eventually, she wound up in a pet shop in the Kingdom of Rheged and purchased by King Urien due to her beautiful feathers. Bavmorda: One of the best mages around. She was one of the many teachers Aleron has had. Not much is known about her, but she has a deep seated fear of her former student and vowed to kill her. Kilia: The younger sister of Ban, and a beast-man. She was thought to be dead when Ban couldn't find her, but she miraculously survived thanks to unlocking her ability to shapeshift into a human. Kilia lives on to prosper and eventually leaves Ravens behind to pursue a career in helping others, like how her big brother always did for her. She'll either become a nurse or a schoolmaster for young children. Shivani: A vampire that acts on her own. Not trusting Izraf, she deflected to build her own kingdom of vampires. She tries to marry a human king the same time Aleron became the royal court mage in the same kingdom. Eventually, they go from enemies to frenemies (She was once fused with Kilia as a character, but I decided last minute it's better if they were two separate ones). Urien Rheged: The human king of Rheged and the younger brother of King Lot of Lothian. He hired Aleron as a royal court mage, and finds himself going through the seven stages of grief when he's charmed by the stoic mage who could care less about the human. It's a one-sided hate-love relationship. He disliked Arthur Pendragon when he first ascended to the throne, but eventually became one of his closest allies and friends, often involving himself in any wars or affairs with Camelot. Dinah: A mischievous beast-man crow that Aleron saved from hunters a decade before the main story. She becomes loyal to the hybrid and refers to her often as master, even though Aleron told her many times not to call her that. Usually she stays a small crow and perches on Aleron's shoulder or staff, opting to stick with the mage at all times. She becomes the unofficial familiar of the mage.

Part II

[thenntrewrite]

This a rough outline of what I had in mind for the start of my rewrite, but I wanted to share my thoughts here as well:

Essentially for the very basic layout of the rewrite, I had the idea of the first half following the journey of a rare hybrid—Aleron/Morgan—go through many centuries of her life and building up as an all powerful mage—though she's not entirely alone. It'd be original content mixed in with some Holy War where important moments are focused on that all leads up to the main part of the rewrite. But I'm wondering if perhaps I should focus on the main rewrite, and then do flashbacks of important moments throughout all those centuries in between.

Nothing's truly set in stone yet though. I'm just spit-balling and seeing what sticks. But doing a build-up would work in my favor for another reason outside of character development—I planned on making Meliodas and Elizabeth go from enemies to lovers to friends and make their soulmate bond more platonic by the time he meets 107th and final Elizabeth. I still want their relationship to be what kicks-off the main story and what puts Meliodas through 3,000 years of depression and hell, but, uh, what if he had a companion that he sees occasionally throughout those many centuries?

Spit-balling some more, but I imagine Aleron and Meliodas would also be enemies to friends to... eventual lovers. But it'd take a lot longer for that last bit. Hell, it'd take at least a few centuries for the second bit to occur. They wouldn't be true companions until then. The ultimate slow-burn (A truly self-indulgent rewrite). But the rewrite, if I were to start it three-thousand or so years ago, would be right when the Holy War was at an all around high and many people were dying left and right. Morgan (known at the time) was a somewhat neutralist on the matter, not finding a lick of interest in the war, but would help if called upon to the best of her ability. She was only a few centuries old at the time, and her magic wasn't as strong as it would be later in life, but she spends her time studying and practicing whenever she's not plucking off demons. She has a strong distaste for most races for her own reasons, and I believe most of them wouldn't like her since she was born from two different races. But since her mother is a highly respected Goddess warrior, and her father a highly respected faerie king, her existence is tolerated. In turn, she tolerates others and their existence. After some tragic deaths relating and unrelating to the Holy War, Morgan abandons her birth name since it 'died with them' and becomes a true neutralist living out on her own. She stays out of the war altogether and keeps to herself and her studies, only lifting her weapon out of need than out of obligation. Morgan can't recalls how the war ended, but it only takes a few centuries before she meets Meliodas sometime after the fifth or so Elizabeth. I imagine she stumbles upon him and tries to pretend she didn't see him, but the ever-growing doctor/alchemist in her can't really ignore the stench of blood. Her morals may be skewed now, but she can't ignore the oath and promises she made, so the first step in their bond is making sure the demon prince doesn't die.

This would become a tale of not only tragic soulmates, but the story of something new forming.
