Wow, that’s pretty awesome! I’ll have to look into that book, what was it about? And yes, POV is vital, I use a character with a very solid moral compass but he’s also really really empathetic so for the entire first half I’m hoping everyone’ll feel like it’s a redemption arc except the villain doesn’t change, instead he uses that character’s p…[Read more]

“I understand both of your concerns.” The dragon shrugged “But I assure you, I cannot fit through that doorway.”
No sooner said than contradicted, the mouth of the tunnel broke wide. Alessio looked at the hole and back at the dragon, a tiny smirk fighting his sober expression. Nobody had to read his mind to hear his thoughts. Next excuse? As quic…[Read more] -

Before anyone could answer the floor shimmers green, brighter and brighter as it inches to a large throne. The door behind them vanished and Meira jumped back.
“What the blinker!?”
The room expanded filling into a circular gold center where each of them stood. Meira gapped, instinctively thrusting her spear in front of her face, staring at her new…[Read more] -

Meira woke up with something cold plastered against her cheek. Blinking as she shoved herself to her elbow rubbing her bandaged forehead, gnarled inky strands of hair obscuring her vision.
“Blinky that’s a fracture! Ouch.” She ran her fingers into a dent in her cheek lined with hairline cracks from her fall, already oozing with a blue paste that’…[Read more] -

“Any way I can,” Brendin said “Just tell me what you need.”
I don’t know what I need. He’d spent so many years stifling his own needs to survive, he didn’t have any point of reference. There was no ‘t…[Read more] -

Oh is the passenger Karayan?
I just meant ‘passenger’ gave me a very clear image of, yeah, an entity riding in his mind like that and I guess I wanted to know if that idea was how it really worked or there’s a story behind the name or it’s just me XD.

Spear in hand, she crouches in the branches of a gnarled tree blue-green leaves tugging through her inky hair. It’s close, closer, still fuzzy but its shape is clear. Her hand tightens on the spear, waiting for the flat aerial fish to get just a little closer, its scales glittering blurrily with each wiggling flap of its fins. Meira flicks her h…[Read more]

Ikr! And that us/them syndrome just hits everything nowadays! Like teens vs adults, boys vs girls every aspect of personality vs every opposing aspect etc etc etc.

Alright very useful distinction there 😂. Why’s it called ‘passenger’ btw, is it because of the clear mental image that evokes?

Thanks! (Gray characters really are, they’re so cool!) I feel like writing this’ll help me break out of my own preconceived notions of what stereotypes I should be.

Lol the “strong female characters” just really grate when that’s all they’re there for. Thanks!
Well idk if it’s “that obvious” or just my “freakishly almost scary accurate emotion thing” (loosely quote big sister). But reckless, independent, assertive characters are really fun and it’s great reading about Liorah.

Naw, Brendin’s actually reacting to Alessio’s anxiety attack in pretty much the best–medically speaking–way. Consistent physical reassure, though often unwelcome at first, really helps someone during a panic attack or an anxiety attack, and speaking softly ensures he won’t be re-triggered by loud noises (although this is a more inconsist…[Read more]

“I can help you, if you want,” Brendin whispered. Alessio’s eyes drifted up to him, not quite hopefully. Can you make it go away? He knew Brendin couldn’t, he was stuck with his powers and with his own pain-warped mind. Stifling the thought, Alessio glanced down for a second at Brendin’s hands which were coated in small burns. His chest constrict…[Read more]
