Thatโ€™s so awesome how different they are. The first group seem to prefer being cloaked and secretive and the second from the anthropomorphic novel like to show off and maybe even enjoy being seen/admired. Both sound really interesting!

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ Even worse, Iโ€™ve never heard of The Expanseโ€”I had to look it up because I was like is that a movie ๐Ÿ˜‚ Realize Iโ€™m not helping my situation hereโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Iโ€™m always looking for a good movie though, so Iโ€™ll watch it this weekend!

No worries at all! I love how they are showing how the ship steersโ€”I mean itโ€™s those kind of details that make it so real and immersive.

And I havenโ€™t seen the Expanse but there seems to be something slightly creepy going on here.

if you're ever wondering if your nice words and support really matter to a writer/artist, this is how we feel when it happens:

Rebellion is not enough.

โ€œI agree with Elijwa,โ€ Armaiti said. โ€œSheโ€™s nineteen. Sheโ€™s with friends. This is her choice. She doesnโ€™t want us there.โ€
โ€œI donโ€™t care what she wants,โ€ Mรฆve said. โ€œYouโ€™ve not been to Thalis, Armaiti. Itโ€™s a very dangerous place.โ€
โ€œEspecially for her,โ€ Isaac said. โ€œShe doesnโ€™t realizeโ€”โ€
โ€œYou werenโ€™t much older when you raised the slaves of the Palace of Light to revolt against the Azantium Empire,โ€ Armaiti said, raising his voiceโ€”which he never did. โ€œAnd how old were you when you first started working as an Azantium merchant?โ€ he asked Isaac.
Isaac and Mรฆve both clicked their mouths shut. 
Armaiti rose to his feet with a groan, placing his empty mug on the counter. 
โ€œSheโ€™s okay,โ€ he said. โ€œSheโ€™s made friends and has allies in this quest. And she was thoughtful enough to send a message. You should both be proud.

Mรฆve and Isaac receive a note from Isyra explaining her plans to travel to Thalis and they are not happy. Armaiti is the voice of reason and is feeling his ageโ€ฆ ๐ŸŽช๐Ÿ–คโœจ #WIPSnips from TMF for โ€œcounterโ€

Yes! Heโ€™s really been though a lot! My poor characters ๐Ÿ–ค But no heโ€™s not a jerk anymore. He was having some troubleโ€ฆ in his heart/mind at the beginning of TCT.

โ€ฆone above, one below. Magic courses through these two systems. The conduits are the Chrysillium trees which are born when a Shalik calls down a star and plants into the earth (or Zama in this world).

Oh yes! I could geek out about this for quite a bit! Itโ€™s one of main components of Ulliโ€™s magic system and where the title of this WIP comes from (The Mycellium Forest). This is talked about in all the books but maybe in most detail in book 1 TCT, but on Ulli there is the รฆther and the mycelliumโ€ฆ

Finn has scars on his torso and hands due to a rough childhood growing up on the streets of Shรญ Lou where he had been in more than one knife fight.

Elijwa has scars that are physiological. I canโ€™t say much about it other than she suffered a terrible trauma and after 19 years still struggles.

Isaac is missing his left eye and that side of his face is terribly scared. In TCT, he was known for his good looks and he was a bit of a jerk. Just as he was starting to change he was captured and torturedโ€”hence the eye and the scar. Mรฆve and Jaleh healed him as best they could but it left a mark.

Foxโ€™s scar sounds so interesting! Canโ€™t help but wonder about the deeper ramifications of this mark ๐Ÿ–คโœจ
