I finally was able to afford to get myself a cheaper drawing pad & OMFG I LOVE IT!! 😭💚

I'm dusting off my drawing skills & learning. Working on bringing my queer bois (MC & LI of my WIP) to life while my manuscript goes through final edits. 🥹💚💚

Writers, name 3 things you will ALWAYS write in your books and 3 things you will NEVER write!

Here's mine:

Always:
💚Queer characters
💚Main happy endings
💚Magic

3 things I will never write:
💔Grimdark
💔Main tragic endings
💔Sci-fi

Here's mine:

Always:
💜Found family
💜Snark as a love language
💜At least one nonbinary MC

3 things I will never write:
💔Slow burn
💔Disabled or "disfigured" villain
💔The dog dying

31: Currently? Universe names. I've also been working more on my world's pantheon. But a decent chunk of time has been trying to find the name that feels ✨right✨ for my fantasy world. It's been harder than I thought lol. 😅

30: I don't have enough of a text limit to list them all lol. 😅

But the biggest would be Elder Scrolls, folklore/myths/legends, Frieren, Shadowhunters, plenty of fae & other fantasy/paranormal media of all kinds. 🥰🐉

29: Mostly ambiance audios out that sound like you're in a fairy forest or on a fantasy quest, etc. with some classical "fantasy-like" music. Some video game OST's will spark the worldbuilding vibe for me, as well. 😌

28: Dryads live in the forest. More specifically, the root systems that connect the forest with the massive tree in the heart of the forest.

Along with a lone few people, and adventurers will camp in it, ofc.

27: Depends on the season, etc. But resources from Snowcrest Weald would be mostly wood, herbs, fungi & fruits naturally harvested from it. And a special, magical type of revitalizing berry that's rarely given out by the Dryads.

26: In my WIP, with the current situation in the mortal realm (brewing war/dangerous weather) & spirit realm (corrupting magic overtaking/spilling out), Jari doesn't hear any myths of Snowcrest Weald, nor see any of its entities.

25: Typical alpine fauna & flora are found in Snowcrest Weald for the most part. There are some magical creatures also found within its depths, but they tend to be more elusive.

24: Snowcrest Weald is fairly typical for a northern, alpine forest. Other than the magical trees that can extend their roots & the massive tree at its heart that the Dryads call home, & other magical things like that lol. 😜✨

23: Jari spends quite a decent amount of the WIP in the forest (Snowcrest Weald). Travelling between quests and assignments he ends up going on in Dragola (country's name).

22: Snowcrest Weald.

It's the forest Jari (MC) visits quite often (in my gay Narnia vibes fantasy WI).

21: Jari doesn't really interact with any public events/contests/games in my WIP, so I haven't really touched upon it in-depth yet in my worldbuilding. It's in the works, but not fleshed out enough for me to share yet.

20: Quite a few. For example, in my WIP, Jari joins in on a festival called "Alignment Day" (also called "Rivil Alignment") where all the celestial planets align. Rivil was the name of the Fae who first noticed it.

19: So far, I haven't fully developed any costumes/games for festivals in my fantasy world. The only festival that Jari (MC) goes to doesn't have specific costumes & he doesn't join it for long enough to see it all.

I know I've been posting less lately. Life is busy atm & I have stuff to finish in a bit of a time crunch (despite my disabilities 😵‍💫).

For now, my posts will be sporadic. I plan to catch up on the #julyworldbuilding posts & others I'm wanting to do sometime next week, maybe even this weekend. 💚
