Day 10: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Rylen prefers knowledge over power as he believes knowledge is real power. Jamie just wants to know what's going on 🤣😅 he'll settle for someone bring him into the loop, please.

Day 10 #SeptemberThrills “His body is marked worse than some of our top military leaders.” Sylen’s quiet thought slithered into Jamie’s mind. “The first time I saw him, I could barely believe the harm a human enacted upon him.”

Day 9: #SeptemberWorldbuilders Mostly the same foods we have in real life. The Wastes have several fungi that are poisonous for humans and certain Benign races, but Ungovernable races can freely it them (if they wanted).

Day 9: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Jamie wouldn't want any magic or superpowers, but that's because having magic or inhuman abilities that harm humans is despised in the Protectorate Nation. Rylen already has abilities that could be called superpowers, and he's happy with them 👀

“That’s right. Struggle. Fight with everything you have, it won’t change the outcome. You’ll do exactly what I tell you.” He plunged the scalpel into Rylen’s chest. “Sure, it would have been easier if I didn’t have to break you physically as well as mentally, but at least I’ll get to enjoy myself.”

An incident like the one in Zhu could never happen again. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, Obito had already vowed to never be caught so off-guard by any faction of opposition again. Whether it was common thieves they met on the road, Lady Shadow, Ewah, or the Crown itself, he'd be three moves ahead—always.

Day 8: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Rylen liked school-ish. He pushed himself as he feared his adoptive parents would kick him and his little brother out if he didn't do well. His favourite class was music. Jamie felt apathetic toward school, but saw a point to doing well.

Day 8: #SeptemberWorldbuilders Sirens have a dish made of vegetables, potatoes and hearts (human). It's essentially a stew with a final ingredient that requires the blood of a deceased siren. The meal is only eaten during the passing of a beloved member of the community.

-Every aspect is incredibly thought out, and there was never a moment I questioned why something was included in the stiry. Great read, and I highly recommend it 😊

V.C.Boldick 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 @boldickv.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

-was just a story. The characters were fully fleshed out and well-rounded that I couldn't get enough of them. I loved Haru's family and getting to know them (and the twist at the end... well, when you read it, you'll know). Worldbuilding wise, this book doesn't disappoint.-

V.C.Boldick 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 @boldickv.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Mister Nakagami had that and so much more, and the added dash of forbidden romance (and Haru's fight to change that) made for such a compelling read. Honestly, some of the concerns and political push and pull felt so realistic I had to put the book down to remind myself that it-

Book review!! Such an amazing book! I had some reservations initially as 1st person POV isn't my favourite to read, but I'm so glad I did. It didn't take long to push past the POV concern as the story drew me in right from the start. I love a good political thriller and-

Day 7: #SeptemberWorldbuilders The Wastes don't have seasons. Temperatures remain constant and the only rain that falls is upside down rain that acts as a barrier between the Wastes and the rest of the world. When you enter the Wastes, if there is no wildlife around, it seems like a frozen world.

Day 7: #FantasyIndiesSeptember I didn't expect book 2 to be so hard for me to write. In order to get it down, I tapped into a part of myself that I keep closed off, but that was the only way I could get the raw emotions out for Rylen’s POV chapters. @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

Day 7: #SeptemberThrills The sober version of Rylen is incredibly responsible. 10 years ago him is another story. Jamie is also responsible almost to a fault. He will not let go of responsibility well after it's time too (which can be a good thing 👀) @jadeblack21.bsky.social

I'm not sure 😅 I'm terrible with flirting so my characters have a handicap there, but maybe this: "You’re always so secretive when you write me songs. Come on. Please… just one verse.” “Kir, darling,” he crooned, “Patience. It’s not done yet. Its not perfect, not like you.”

We're already burning in hell While you're poisoning the well. I wanted to make his lyrics have meaning in universe, but also calling out things in the real world (In this one's case, I was calling out how certain groups treat LGBTQIA+ individuals in the real world)

YES!! I love that song 😊 Here's the chorus I wrote for one of Rylen's songs: Dreams like paper torn apart We teach kids to hate what they really are Then when they turn on us We blame anyone who made a fuss So don't blame me for calling out-

Day 6: #SeptemberWorldbuilders Jamie likes spring because, for some unknown reason, crime rates lower in the fall. (There is a reason, Jamie doesn't know it, and if he did, he wouldn't like it 😬) Rylen likes fall. Less concerts means more time at home with his family and-

-bring joy and happiness to people makes him so excited about everyday. The fact he also has a platform and able to call out government activities is a bonus he didn't see coming, but also appreciates, and, with having this platform, feels obligated to speak put and stand up for those who can't.

Day 6: #Septversary Jamie is a detective ans he is quite passionate about his job. He wants to help people, and is only now realizing, that it's possible, that he's hurting more than helping. Rylen is the frontman of his band and absolutely loves what he does. Singing and using his music to-

#Septopolis The main city's name is Tearhan. The founders chose that name because of a myth about The Goddess: Supposedly, one of the tears she wept when she learned what Ungovernable races were doing to humans, landed on the coast where Tearhan now stands. This land was blessed due to the tear-

V.C.Boldick 🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 @boldickv.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Rylen and Meecham agree that Ungovernables aren't treated right (that's where the agreement ends though 😅) Jamie and Meecham agree on a lot of things (at least in the first book) including the fact Ungovernables should be held to stricter laws.

Day 5: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Prison itself was different than he expected. Fellow prisoners avoided him, either because they heard about the charges, or because they liked his music. He preferred that, he had no desire to be an entertainment piece. @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

Day 5: #SeptemberThrills Kaz comes to mind when bringing up fun loving characters. He doesn't take life too seriously (much to Ilia's chagrin) and is looking for the positive side most of the time. The only time that's not true is when friends are in danger. @jadeblack21.bsky.social

Day 5: #Septversary Jamie will ask for help once he gets well and truly stuck, that said, if someone notices he's struggling and they offer to help, he'll accept it. Rylen learned the hard way to ask for help and he often falls into old habits of keeping things to himself.

- and shut out Ungovernables and Benigns. The biggest one is dedicated to The Goddess, a deity humans added to the pantheon that is supposedly above the other deities (who are connected in some way to the other races). The festival takes place over several days and acts as a solstis celebration.

Day 5: #SeptemberWorldbuilders Winter in Tearhan is fairly mild. There's a little bit of snow for the first month and that is about all the city gets. There are a few festivals that take place, most of them are human festivals meant to create a sense of community-

Day 3: #FantasyIndiesSeptember Most children go to Protectorate run schools (where they start being fed a lot of propaganda disguised as education). Chikdren of Ungovernable races might go to specialized schools, or there families will have them be educated within the community.

Yea, it's been a bit haha, I needed to get off SM for a bit 😅 Thanks! It's nice to be back ☺️ The four deities are Tempest, Terra, Tsunami, and Torch. They are the different elemental deities that brought the Nymph race into existence (fun fact, the are all agender and technically siblings

Day 2: #SeptemberWorldbuilders Spring is relatively warm in Tearhan and the Protectorate Nation. Most festivals take place in summer, but spring time is the period for the Nymphs to shine and they have their Festival of Four. It's a two week celebration to honour the four deities.

Day 2: #septversary Rylen would love to be himself, but society despises Ungovernables, and he's forced to play a different role. Jamie on the other hand can authentically be himself until he realizes that who he is, is part of the problem (then he has to make choices 👀👀)

#Septversary In book 2 of Ungovernables, community is one of the central plot points as both MC's feel alone in their respective struggles, and it follows each MC as they "build" a community (one in a healthy way, the other, not so much).
