CW for written depictions of torture using magic
In my defense, Lucian has a totally separate storyline from the other three so if you think about it his story's shorter lmao

Sometimes I watch comfort movies or shows while crocheting or listen to music. Iβm a transit commuter, so Iβll also listen to audiobooks from different genres or moods on bus rides. Anything to clear my mind or give me a new perspective, which sometimes also gives me inspiration.

The dreadwolfβs terrible sneer was following my every move, my every breath. I was helpless. This was far more frightening than being chased through the grove by a shambling dead fox. βAuΓ°unar, what do I do?β βJust stay still and stop snivelling,β he snapped. I grew more aware of the sword on the ground, like it was laughing at me. I had a weapon, yet I could not use it. I could not even be bothered to gather the courage to pick it up. I was facing certain doom, but I was forced to rely on someone else to save me. Someone else had to protect me. I was too helpless, too pathetic to do anything to save myself.
When the sheltered prince used to being guarded and protected all his life suddenly becomes self aware and hates it

The educated, imaginative, but sheltered Prince Lucian has been experiencing the REAL world for the first time after fleeing his kingdom. This takes place after he and the group of mercenaries he's travelling with celebrate a job well done (where Lucian himself had caused their success).
We survived an encounter with a banshee.
Or, so my character thought.
I failed the save MISERABLY.
He has NO IDEA and I went through the five stages of grief in real time.
But fear not, I as a player am absolutely into it. He has a lot to work through, so I love a curveball!

"Highest tariffs since the great depression" is a great phrase to use. It gets the seriousness across and baits republicans into stumbling around talking about causes and effects only to be fact checked. Most people don't care about that last part, but you want to play to all audiences

A scene from the rough draft of Passion, Survival, and Revenge
I can only get one of these this month.
I can purchase Atticus so I can start formatting my books for publishing. One of my manuscripts is ready to go.
Or
I can get a new bigger bookshelf. My old one got damaged from humidity and it canβt fit all my books anyway. Theyβre all over the place.

His body at this stage in OP's progress is contoured and detailed, but the face is still one flat color. The lineart layers are all visible to demonstrate how out of place his face currently is compared to the rest of his body.
The fact that I have tried detailing and rendering Declan's face five times and was STILL undecisive and dissatisfied with it compared to the rest of his body is absolutely absurd.
Can I just... leave it flat and weird?
Here's to seeing if I'll ever finish this, actually
Listen, I just really wanna write Lucian topping, but he canonically is only in a colleague by circumstance relationship with the man I want him to top. At present. π So right now writing that doesn't make any fucking sense.
This is ridiculous, Gabe.
Apparently there's a brain worm insisting that I should write a specific type of one-shot for my birthday this year.
Here's the problem.
The one-shot involves a relationship dynamic in my series that DOESN'T EXIST YET.
Say three positive things about your writing.
1. Thorough internal conflicts.
2. Intimacy (both emotional and physical) is an important staple, even if the overall plot may be dark.
3. I take slow burn VERY seriously.
Your turn.
Just make it exist first, you can make it good later
