#AwesomeCharacters Hmm, Clara's Mother? She seems calm but does unhinged things. Surprisingly, Wesley is a bit similar. He comes up with some risky plans. And on full moons, he'll be extra unpredictable due to a heavy loss of self-control.

#AwesomeCharacters At the start, Clara's laughter is on the bitter side. She usually laughs when she's tired or in a mocking way, but has happier times later. Wesley rarely laughs. When it happens, it's genuine, but more of a pleasant sigh.

#AwesomeCharacters Clara writes a relaxed date with Wesley, with good food and scenery. Maybe there's some trouble, but she casts a tricky spell to save the day. Wesley wants to write a scene where they're cuddling and laughing at silly things, but he'd get too embarrassed to complete it.

#WhimsicalWriters I'll offer the "cute cosmic horror" romcom my friend pitched to me earlier. I'd like to call it "Please Don't Eat My Planet". She suggested that the MC be in an astronomy club that notices a concerning number of stars disappearing. Then shenanigans ensue.

Mother Willa protects Clara from their cult, but her "love" has its limits. #WIPSnips #WriteSky

Writing snippet:

She scratched her scar. Mother drawled, “They will not grant you mercy this time.”

“You think what happened back then was merciful?” Clara spat.

“Yes. Because I looked after you. They could have starved you to skin and bones. Could have worked you in the fields until your hands bruised, or drove you to madness with noise at night.”

“… I know.”

“Do you?” A deadly glint sparked behind those glasses. Mother held the favor of a high-ranking Father in Salvation’s Grasp. Added to Clara’s usual diligence, that bought enough goodwill to recover from her “misstep”. Mother even made excuses to delay her next showcase, letting her hide in fake illness. It was a luxury most Maidens’ Homes lacked. A guardian who... loved so much.

#AwesomeCharacters Wesley. He is sturdy and being a werewolf helps him heal faster. He's used to getting injured so it doesn't bother him much. He should be more careful. 🥲 The rest of my cast isn't that durable atm, but I'd like to write a gargoyle...

#AwesomeCharacters Clara is friendly and polite. She's careful with how much she shares, and matches the other person's energy as needed. Wesley is kind, but keeps his words brief. He has to put effort into smiling and seeming relaxed. People may realize he's shy if it's a longer talk.

#AwesomeCharacters Clara and Wesley losing each other in the past was a sad time for both of them. Clara probably considers that her worst moment. Her forced marriage would have been worse. But, due to Wesley's arrival, things mostly get better instead. (1/2)

September 19th – tube Av’ry and Fox are exploring an old draconic ruin. And Av’ry can never resist teasing Fox a bit. #DawnsBlood #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts

“No time to waste, then. How’s your climbing these days, Ave?” Fox asked.
He spit on his hands and moved out to the edge of the chasm. “Worry about the rope, not me. Think it’s long enough?”
“It had better be.”
Setting down the torch and reaching into his bag, Av’ry extracted another tube, cracking it to release the chemiluminescent glow. He shook it vigorously, then hooked it to his belt.
“I guess there is only one way to find out.” Dangling his legs over the chasm, Av’ry wrapped the coil around one leg to take his weight and slid over the edge.
“Hey, wait, let me…”
“You don’t always get to go first, Fox. And I am the one with the light.”
“Fine.” She chewed the corner of her lip. “Shout when you reach the next level.”
“Of course. And I’ll scream if I fall. So, either way you’ll know.”
Fox scowled at him. “Just hurry up.”

#WhimsicalWriters To signal that one of my characters is "Chinese" (in a fantasy setting), she comments on Clara's red bridal gown being a lucky color, and mentions wanting to wear a qipao for herself. Traditional Chinese wedding dresses are red, while white is linked to mourning but nowadays-

#AwesomeCharacters I tried to make Vittore, Clara's evil husband, as punchable as possible. Other antagonists have pretty hatable moments too. The Witch is more of a neutral figure, but I think her grey morality and callous attitude might draw some ire.

#WhimsicalWriters My MCs have a few silly discussions during their childhood. Here is Clara enlightening Wesley (the werewolf) on things he should not eat.

Writing excerpt:

“Bad for wolf, makes sense. But why is chocolate so scary?”

She slapped her hands on her legs. “I told you! It’ll make you sick!”

“It smells good.”

“Please don’t try it. You’ll feel really bad, and then I’ll laugh at you.”

“No you won’t. You’re nice.” He had a point. Carefully adjusting his skirt, he sat on the grass. “Don’t worry. I only eat when I dream.”
