During the process of boiling saltpeter to concentrate it, several byproducts are produced. They are all roughly as pleasant as the process itself!

As the mixture boils, a scum of organic material rises to the surface. This must be scraped off and disposed of. 🧵

At Summerfest, the band plays for a far larger crowd than any they've played for before. Here Rachel starts their introductions.

From Ballad of the Philosopher Queens, an upcoming rock romance/drama serial about an indie band, their lives & loves, and the family they form along the way.

For asalvyr, specialization and therefore basic abilities comes from how they were nurtured.

A deviation from real bees, "hunters" do the external work (scavenging) and are majorly male while "workers" primarily do duties in the hive (processing and care) and are majorly female.

#Marchistics 10. The process of smoothening rocks is no secret at all, as it's used in other areas as well other than for the moon crystals. Working with rocks in general is something taught by universities and guilds, and to operate the machines, a basic-level (1/3)

March 10th – chapter

Only one use of this word that isn’t a chapter heading.😂

Avrinly was keeping *someone*...safe for Queen Istaria of Esrasea.

They have now gone missing, and there is little Istaria won’t do to retrieve them.

You could say they keep it pretty under wraps 😂

Every part of the process is a closely guarded secret, because if most ordinary people were to find out, they would report the entire operation to the authorities.

The chemists of this world teach things only to their apprentices.🧵

#AwesomeCharacters

ahhh I *just* started some new sketches, but here's what I've finished before for Clara and Wesley. 2nd was for a limited color palette challenge.

I'm still figuring out how to capture them, but the aura gap between these pictures makes me giggle a bit 😂

#AwesomeCharacters I only have actual art for NICEF and DKD.

Taegen is the MC from NICEF, and her human appearance is a disguise. The monstrous form is closer to her original appearance (neither are fully 'real')

Kyoka is shown here at around 6 years of age

All art by Luigiix!

I'm already looking forward to my next one finishing up ☺️ Showing my chars is much easier than talking about them, and I have so many future scenes planned in my head that need to be visually recreated at some point...

Here's just a few of my collection (artists linked in Alt text!!)

#AwesomeCharacters

I'm going to do a thread of my characters! But I'll start with my dear Galen and Sasha from The Need for Dandelions!

Art by @dariakonnova.bsky.social and ekikeki.tumblr.com

#AwesomeCharacters I don't have as much art of them as I'd like, but I do have art! 🥰💜

Here's Ashrah's arc in pictures: her natural form, her in Eternal Flame, her after learning about self-love and taking steps towards her balance, and her after embracing her full badass self! 😈🔥(1/9)

#SayaAshrah

Thank you!! He's so pretty 😭😭 Yeah I told the artist it would be cool if the background could incorporate water somehow and I love what they did!

Every time I look at this image I cry for no less than an hour
Here is my precious sweetheart baby, Farley Clearbrook. He's the mc of Speak Its Name
I'll have to get art of Caspen too, soon!

(artist: fishammo)

I'm the same way, and especially so as a reader. I get too invested and if it doesn't end happily it just hurts my feelings too much 😂

#AwesomeCharacters
My favorite story arc is a long road of hurt and comfort intertwining, plenty of pain and plenty of healing, leading up to a happy ending. With Speak Its Name, the theme is how injury charges your life but doesn't end it. So the ending I think will be happy with bittersweet notes.

#AwesomeCharacters I prefer bittersweet endings—or, as Robert McKee calls them, ironic endings. Those that are happy but have that note of tragedy, or are tragic but have a shade of happiness and fulfilment. Endings where the characters neither win nor lose everything.

I can't think of (1/2)

Arcanium ores are all the variety of usual metals but with magical properties. So there's arcanium iron, arcanium gold, etc. I still need to figure out if they affect different metals differently, but at the moment I'm thinking they cause the metal to basically be a magic sponge.

1/10

When how much he loves her is healing because he's not trying to fix or save her: he genuinely thinks she's just miraculous 🥰
