Worldbuilding Gremlin

Hello! I'm a quite artist who draws, occaionally animates, and likes to work on my dragon story. I might share concepts and art, might forget this place exists for weeks. It's anyones guess! :3

What’s my project?

New Hope - Two Fates Combine

A high fantasy story following a pair of adolescent Drakin, named Shayla and Terro, who were each in the wrong place at the wrong time. With the help of more experienced, but no less scared, adults, they help each other heal the scars left by ill intentioned humans who only view their kind as tools and escape back to the safety of The Border.

TFC will be a character driven novel with ideally 1-3 illustrations per chapter to highlight important events, new characters, and scenes that need visual aid. Some of TFC themes are healing and belonging. I should probably add that there isn’t any intentional romance planned, just strong friendships.

I have the first 2 acts and a rough ending plotted out, as well as a lot of world building. I’m writing this for myself, but also want to publish it one day. Maybe even with an accompanying index or guide on the world. I certainly have enough notes for one. ^^

Im working on drawing up fresh concepts, but I do have some finalized plants: Toxic Dragon’s Blood; a deadly plant with bright reddish-pink sap that can infect a Drakin’s magic. And Fire Flowers, living fire that only some Drakin can directly handle and is used for cooking and light.

Snack or friend?

I’m not sure this will make sense to anyone else, but Miki was a client. Arguably, Miki is THE client in Rogue Protocol. It’s Miki that essentially hires Murderbot, not the humans. It’s Miki that asks for assistance, not the humans. (Granted this is because MB implies it’s there as extra security, but still, the person turning to MB for help is Miki not the assessment team). But the fact that Miki is a bot obscures that fact from both MB and the audience. MB helps humans, protects and saves humans, so it doesn’t fully understand where the guilt it feels comes from. It’s not just that Miki wanted to be its friend; it’s that Miki was a client who died. In fact, it’s the only client in the series who does die. And worse, Miki died trying to help. Given that so much of MB’s identity is wrapped up in being able to protect and save its clients, no wonder it’s so messed up about what happened to Miki.
