@emily-waldorf @irishcelticredflowercrown that’s honestly very reassuring!  I’m just waiting for the rest to reply now XD

I’m probably not going to wait too much longer, since this person is actually has some strong ties to Valencia 🙂

@this-is-not-an-alien Do Rosario and Ehud have last names?  Because I’ve found that if the first names don’t fit nicely for a ship name, the last names sometimes work pretty well!

“Outclassed?” My attention snaps back to Avin.  “You’re never that.  There’s no such thing as class, Kit.  You’re a person, she’s a person.  You just live a different life; speak a different language.  You’ll learn.  One day it will happen, and suddenly she’ll see you in a new light.”

Speak a different language.  Yeah.  That’s exactly how it fee…[Read more]

Ok so I have a rather unusual question for @everyone in here:

How would you guys feel if someone were to drop in an LGBT character?

I ask because I do have a bisexual character who I happen to be quite fond of, but the last thing I would want to do is make people uncomfortable!  I ask because his sexuality is actually really, REALLY important…[Read more]

@irishcelticredflowercrown would you like to try an interaction between Lorcan and Valencia?

@emily-waldorf Avin has some of the same insecurities as Kit – although in his case…they’re far beyond justifiable (I mean an orphaned commoner/outcast/ alleged criminal marrying a princess – no wonder Avin feels insecure about it!)

I’m really…[Read more]

I never thought of it like that, but that is honestly such a perfect way of describing Kit XD

Oh trust me you definitely are, but idk which tree either?  Because there’s a LOT XD

Oh well, looks like we’ll find out soon enough

Kit:

“Only a brother-in-law.”

“So you’re married?”

It’s just another reminder that Avin’s an adult, unlike me.

I mean I guess I technically am as well, but I don’t really feel like it and besides, this guy is …[Read more]

Basil is nothing if not * b i z a r r e *

Aww I’m glad!  They have such a fun and interesting dynamic, and in my humble opinion I believe they might just be my most shippable couple yet.  Thankfully, they are going too end up working it out, but not without some sustained effort on both sides (ok lets be real, mostly on Kit’s side because h…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf oh that makes a lot more sense now!  I think Kit is going to be rather impressed by Avin’s outfit XD

Also, that’s some very interesting background on the Colondites!  It makes me sad for Avin though.  Poor guy’s been through so much 🙁

Kit:

“I’m from Vegada.  You haven’t heard of it.”  I shake my head.  Nope.

“And your name is…?”…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf goodness that’s a sad backstory :'(

I think I remember you mentioning that Avin is half Colondite – what’s the story behind that?  Like, why are they so hated at this time?

Also, when you say “Spanish costume” do you mean like what matadors are traditionally shown wearing?  That’s the image that came to mind XD

Kit is extremely f…[Read more]

Kit:

What the blazes?

Before I know it, Valencia’s off in a corner and my coat is roughly shoved between my arms and my gut.

Alright then.

I know by now that approaching her will only make everything worse.  Guess we’ll just have to talk it over later.  If I said something that made her uncomfortable, I’d want to know, but if she’s just a…[Read more]

@emily-waldorf I’m honestly so concerned for Avin – like wHERE DID THOSE SCARS COME FROM :'(

He’s very intriguing!  Of course these are probably major spoilers, but I’m curious about his backstory and subsequent rise to power XD

Oh boy here we go

Kit is tall (6’0″) and rather thin.  He’s East Asian, with tan skin and dark hair styled in an u…[Read more]

I started a new sketchbook recently, and here’s a mildly cursed Kit and fed up Valencia on the front page XD

@emily-waldorf I would love that!  Remind me, what’s Avin like again?

I think I’m going to have Kit interact with him!  I’ve never written from his POV before, so it might take a while to get used to

Also I’m not entirely sure I *want* to know what Kit’s POV sounds like – like I do, but as a character, he’s rather *cursed* and just mildly p…[Read more]

Hello!  I have a few questions regarding gunshot wounds

I have a character who’s going to be gunned down in an act of revenge, and I’m trying to balance that fine line between drama and realism.

For a little bit of context, this is set in a fictional Cold War setting, so medical technology, ambulances, telephones, etc. are all present.  This c…[Read more]

Valencia:

“Your turn, Valencia!”  My stomach drops as I stare up the cliff.

“I can’t.”

“What do you mean you can’t?  You haven’t even tried it yet!”

“I’m not strong enough.”  My voice fades to a barely audible murmur as a part of me dies inside.  I didn’t want Kit – or anyone for that matter – to know how weak I really am.

“That’s alr…[Read more]

@jared-williams Kit and Valencia are free if you’d like to start an interaction between them and Ku/Abirami!

Valencia:

The last of the street lights flicker on, scattering the inky shadows on the damp sidewalk.  The sickly yellow glow flashes across Kit’s keys as they twirl around his finger, flickering in and out of his hand to the beat of some inaudible tune.  My chest tightens as the keys slip just beneath his fingertips.  Just five minutes be…[Read more]

@rose-colored-fancy the fact that Kit has already reached boi status is legitimately concerning to me

I’ll try to write their introduction today!  In the meantime, here is a sketch of a smug Kit
