You know what I love? Characters who rally against fate.

Main characters who, when told their destiny, throw up a big middle finger to fate and fuck right off to change that shit. Friends of main characters who go “hell naw we ain’t doing this” and drag the main character somewhere else. Characters who fight prophecies, who are ready to throw down when told what they have to be or do, who go out to make their own destinies. Characters who refuse to be or do what they’re supposed to because there’s no way in hell they’re gonna lose somebdy or be some sort of sacrificial lamb.

Because, in the end, even if things end up the same, even if the prophecy was right in some way, there’s something so incredibly human in deciding that the world can’t tell you what to do.

Things to Consider When Writing About Royalty

How is the throne inherited? How strict are the traditions concerning transfers of power? How is the order of succession determined? Can commoners become royalty?

How are heirs trained?

How much, if at all, are marriages for power/political ties favored over marriages for love? How common are arranged marriages

What are the biggest threats to their position?

How good is there relationship with their subjects? 

What is their preferred method of interacting with their subjects? Do they prefer to interact with them directly or indirectly?

How long has the monarchy been in power? How did it originally gain that power?

What special etiquette is required when dealing with royalty? How strict is it?

How are princes and/or princesses that aren’t first in line for the throne handled? Are they given special responsibilities in the hopes of discouraging resentment?

How do they deal with assassination attempts?

How do they spend their wealth? Why do they prioritize certain aspects of their kingdom’s well being over others?

Would they rather inspire love or fear in their subjects?

I’m sorry love isn’t a flower. I’m sorry my heart is a sinkhole. It swallowed a freezer once. You were right to go. But come back.

when do you think you’ll pick who will be added to the discord?

I’m working on it rn! it’s a lot to go through so it may be a bit

[dragonkissed]

Hi! Wondering if any updates would occur with the discord motivation chat, I was bummed I only found it today and its the deadline. If not that's totally fine!

Hi! Thanks for being interested! I got way, way more applicants than I was expecting (which is cool!) and some people have reached out to me about forming similar networks, since there’s clearly a lot of interest (and more than can fit in one network.) When those other networks start to happen I’ll reblog them/share the info, so keep an eye out for that!
