    LOL, I get it! I often mentally pronounce character names as gibberish and then I have to actually say their name to someone else and I can’t XD

    SAME though. The wonders of the human brain, that you don’t have to clearly pronounce things in your head, so you bungle it up when you try it out loud xD

    I have no idea where it got lost but now it’s more like “Look at my disaster idiots! They have never once made a good decision!” XD I have no idea how those stupid brats haven’t died yet, they have no self-preservation instincts at all XD I just really enjoy roasting my characters XD

    I always find myself on the opposite end of the spectrum, with main characters who are wayyyy too cautious about everything. They usually have good reason to, but come on.

    My old characters were daring and brave and occasionally reckless, but now they’re just too reasonable. STOP BEING REASONABLE.

    Oh, it’s SO much fun! I like finding ways to use the biblical commandments in a different context. It’s awesome!

    Ooh, can you give an example? That sounds really fun.

    Oh, that’s fascinating! I love how you portray all those different ones, it must cause quite some clashing between the characters! It’s also interesting how you seem to have a religious conflict in the history of your world, that must impact it a lot!

    Thanks! Yeah, I don’t quite know what I’m doing (but like… who does, anyway?), but I’m hoping it’ll not backfire, lol. It’s interesting to see how the characters’ upbringing and background have affected their religious views, especially in relation to Pax and his… confusing mess of a life that’s supposed to be this story. Lots of people debate the existence of fairies, since in this world they’re kind of like angelic servants (?) of some higher power and their gifts are so rare, pretty much legendary. When some Fidelian guy shows up and proves he has a crazy gift, it tends to challenge their worldviews in a way they never really considered before xD

    I love that legend!! The legendary friendship that gets rekindled by their descendants is one of my absolute favorite tropes!! I love it so much, it’s just… the idea that two people cared about each other so much that it has an impact on the world at large, big enough that it’s bound to happen again. Idk I have lots of feelings about it but can’t sufficiently articulate any of them XD

    Right?? It’s one of my favorites too! I cannot wait to introduce Rei and write about her friendship with Pax. She doesn’t appear until much later on in the series though :((( Also even though I know it’d be a cute ship, I’m cruel and heartless and don’t care about my baby’s happiness so it’s just gonna be another fun platonic friendship because my end goal in this story is obviously to keep Pax single for as long as possible. I have other plans for Rei.

    All of this is kind of set in reality. Except, they’re not detached shadows, they’re assassins. The moon-knives are pure bedazzlement of the story XD The dying part does happen though XD

    I love that; it sounds epic! Really advantageous for the assassins too lol. Not so much for the victims… but that’s so cool and creative.

    The ruins is one of my favorite settings to write. I have a weakness for ruins and just a ruined, decayed palace completely deserted and overgrown is just… the vibes are right XD

    Me too, me too <3 And I’d love to see those drawings when you’re finished, if you’re planning on sharing them 🙂

    On an entirely different note! I don’t think I’ve told you, but I have a newsletter where I talk about writing in general and some more about my projects. There are cat pictures and memes, it’s a fun time!

    Thanks for letting me know! I subscribed :))
