I write out of spite and passion

came here to stay and unleash my thoughts upon thee

Hi there, I'm an aspiring writer and fanfic author on which I practice my writing skills and style.

I mostly do rewrites but have recently also started writing my own fanfics aka ideas.

As a short overview of what I'm currently writing and planning:

"Flowers beneath the rotting tree": a Miraculous rewrite that I plan to, well, rewrite again, due to it being outdated in terms of writing style.

"a wreath woven from ashes": a Loki time travel fic, whose first arc I plan to finish this summer and hopefully start on the second one.

"Tears of the moonshine lotus": a oneshot series rewrite of Raya and the last dragon. While I have started working on the second one, I'll take it slow with these so don't expect super fast updates.

"Reweave the threads of fate": a Harry Potter fix it that will cover the first two books. This one is also not in a hurry and might take time to complete. I already have the chapters planned out though, so only my motivation is left to come back.

"A Dragons Courtship": is the third Phaidei oneshots that I plan to finish soon as well. That oneshot series is the most spontaneous and indulgent one I've written so far.

"Fractured Star": a sky cotl origin fanfic, born from my own lore. I think the chapters will be rather short but plentiful, though that will show once I'm done with the outline.

"Liberi Terrae et Stellarum": a rise of the brave tangled dragons fanfic, where I merge the movie with the books. Which means, I gotta buy and read them all haha

"Dragon's soul & Mortal blood": a httyd fanfic where Hiccup was raised with Toothless at the Nest and how this changes the story :)

"a cooked up story" and it's follow up "a well served dish": these are in planning and will be the 2 book rewrite of High guardian spice. That show was the most boring and useless thing I've ever seen so I want to give it some justice.

"The false cage": a minor plot fix it of Nimona that I plan to make but idk if I'll publish it depending on how much it comes to differ from the original material. Otherwise I loved that movie it's just those details that made it a bit weak.

"In the eyes of history": a mlp fanfic focusing on the history and the Royal sisters past, combined with my own head cannons and other stuff. In short, I want them to be more competent and godlike as they deserve.

"Deaths undying Love": a Phaidei short with Khaslana as a death god and Mydei the undying prince, whose heart he wishes to conquer and make him stay in the underworld (aka a little bit of Hades, Persephone situation)

Other works I plan on making:

The Dragon prince rewrite (season 4-7)

Pure Vessel fanfic

Ahsoka Tano fanfic

Cloud Strife fanfic with Norse mythology

Frozen 2 rewrite, with Elsa as the incarnation of Ahtohallan

But for now, this is all I have to offer so don't go around stealing ideas.

Finally got around to my genshin redesigns and decided to start with their faces.

[ink-drenched-cat]

Sky cotl redesigns:

Since I never officially posted it, here are my cultural inspirations for each OG Spirit/ Region in Sky.

Isle of Dawn: tbh nothing specific just what I could find on desert clothing

Daylight Prairie: Thailand

Hidden Forest: South Korea

Valley of Triumph: Mongolia

Golden Wasteland: China

Vault of Knowledge: China

About to drop some self made mlp lore soon! Hopefully with art.

Now onto Nod Krai.

While I did not have too many issues with the place itself, after it was already hinted at in Natlan, I do think that the end was too Dottore focused and basically put all the blame on him, which I find very lazy and boring and a waste of Rerir who just got oneshotted and given this boring "what do I fight for anyway" 'redemption' arc.

So: my idea was that Columbina was actually a corrupted failed goddess of the failed fourth moon (aka Nod Krai) hence her red/black coloring, who was worshiped like a false idol and eventually ended up with the Fatui and Dottore.

She and Dottore developed this unhealthy sibling dynamic, because Dottore sees her as the only other person on the planet that is like him, as they are both so alienated from other humans and thus unsettle everyone else whenever they were together, until one day she got this pull back to Nod Krai or Dottore went there and shared his findings about the Kuuvaki that could help her stabilize her form again, or this unsual fluctuation that he observed.

So, they went to Nod Krai together to investigate, thus kicking off the actual storyline.

Trusting her to know what she was doing, he let her wander off on her own to investigate what was making her feel so off balance, when she got found by the traveller and the rest of the crew and mistaken for a runaway harbinger aka "a damnsel in distress".

Seeing nothing wrong with utilizing the offered help and kindness to her advantage, she accepts and gets pulled along into the actual storyline.

Eventually they find out that Rerir had slowly been corrupting the land and siphoned away the kuuvaki that kept her stable, after his body had been shattered here a long time ago. They do the whole fighting thing and eventually manage to trap/ subdue him with the moon marrows but by doing so Columbina looses the last of her corporeal form and fades away to be trapped as a ghost on the frost moon (or something similar).

Of course, Dottore finds out about this and, despereate to get her back, takes the moon marrows to gain enough power to create what the dragons failed to do.

Now being as close as one can be to a gor, he tries to forge a new moon out of Nod Krai to anchor Columbina to it. Partially he succeeds, but also sets Rerir free again, who merged with the "revived" Columbina into this eldritch abomination, forcing the Traveller and gang to fight it until it dies and Nod Krai gets restored.

Now, I have not thought about the aftermath, but do play around with the idea that Dottores actions have garnered some attention from the four shades, leading to him being practically kidnapped, or that he sustains a fakeout death after losing the moon marrow powers, leaving room for future confrontations.

As we all know, Genshin is not very good at storytelling, especially with the decisions they've made in the recent Archon quests. Thus, there are many parts where I think it could've been done better. Besides the fact that the game would be better if it was not a Gacha and had no censor -> allowing for more creativity in both character design and the underlying horrors that I so love.

But this post is not about design, but my ideas for story improvements! Specifically for Natlan and Nod Krai (Which I will cover in the next post. I also have not played past the official end of Nod Krai so if anything has changed I'll only know in August).

Natlan itself has many issues. The racism, the holiday resort vibe, the rather uninteresting "dragons", their much too perfect Archon, the wasted Capitano potential, the modern tech which doesn't fit at all with the rest of the game, the boring "friendship is magic" storyline, the tbh rather empty world, etc etc etc. I am not the first to complain XD.

So how could this have been fixed, aside from the glaringly obvious skintone issue and representation?

In terms of world building, Natlan is much too modern or at least too real world like, which could've been salvaged very easily by taking or replicating the ancient dragon tech and making it possible for everyone to use -> which would've also fixed why no one but the playable characters has more advanced tech. After all, times of war give way to swift technological advancement.

Another reason why this new tech was not as spread out as it should be, could've been explained by the typical "a young genius figured it out recently" -> paving the way for a new character to be introduced.

Now for the first Arc in the story, it could've been a great way to introduce Mavuika as this candidate for Archonhood, who either wins the tournament and gets chosen, or was only recently chosen by the time the Traveller arrives in Natlan. Now between the different tribes reigns tension, because each one thinks their candidate would've been a worthier Archon (highlighting natural conflict between people) and they doubt that Mavuika was the right fit, especially due to her secrecy after she gains the previous Archons memories and does not yet know how to pull off her plan.

This could've paved the way to help her gather allies by traveling to each tribe and getting to each their champion, solving some problem there and subsequently proving to said tribe that she was the right fit. The rest of the story could've gone on somewhat the same, only without the random premature festivities that very much distracted from the actual finale that was much too short.

And as a final piece to the end fight, we could've had Mavuika hesitate in the face of death and in a show of human selfishness proposed Traveller to be sacrificed even if it does end with Capitano taking their place as much as I dislike that descision and giving us our first lukewarm Archon relationship. And also, speaking of Capitano, it would've been great to have some actual lead up to that final decision by perhaps having him talk about how tired he was of living or how he yearns for silence at last.

Another aspect that should've been more prevalent was the post abyss invasion destruction that was nowhere to be seen, where the Traveller could've helped clean up or clean out abyssal residue or something else that could've been used to dive more into the lore until they reach Ochkanatlan — (my fav region btw).

Now that place was, for me personally amazing, if a bit too empty — but the lead up to it could've been better by a simple change. After the abyssal war (massacre/ invasion) Traveller arrives at the Flower-Feather tribe (don't remember the name) and sees how a large majority of the land is covered by ash (instead of those three tiny areas).

Now that tribe is too busy with recovering from the abyss to take care of their usual duty of keeping the ash at bay, they ask the Traveller to go and investigate, which in the end, could've been solved by shutting down the ancient furnaces or something and stop the ash for good.

And the last tid bit that could've been better were the "dragons", which could've been solved by simply giving them proper dragon adult forms and a larger, more corrupt version for the bossfights/ the flame mark situation.

Is it just me or have any of you ever woke up one day and could do a thing you couldn't do before without any practice?

Cause I had this happen multiple times!

One day I woke up and could raise a singular eyebrow. Or I woke up and could snap my fingers or tie a knot for a balloon.

[ink-drenched-cat]

Omg just discovered the best website ever! I'm on a world building creative spree!

[ink-drenched-cat]

Amaze amaze amaze

[ink-drenched-cat]

Lmao the game glitched on me yesterday, so if anyone needs references on Eden: here XD

Edit: this is the area right before the Crystal. The path begins up top. After I finished my run I kinda got yeeted into the sky, that's why its a bit hard to make out anything.

So from what I understand, essentially the Netflix DMC series is to the games, what the Percy Jackson Movies are to the books.

O M G OMGOMGONGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMHOMGOMGOMHOMYOKHOKYOMV

Yeah I WATCHED PROJECT HAIL MARY AND HOLY FUCK IT WAS GOOD!

New obsession unlocked!

10/10!

All the osts are now part of my playlist!

[ink-drenched-cat]

Ugh a big annoyance for someone with a good memory is the fact that I can no longer stand spoilers of any kind. Or really engage with horror content though that entirely depends on how off putting it is to me (my brain works in weird ways). For some reason I have a very easy time scaring myself and that's really not good when I want to use the night to do more work.

[ink-drenched-cat]

Oh yeah, since these are already done, might as well show some older sketches xD

[ink-drenched-cat]

yooo just started watching that movie again and it's as good as I remember!

[ink-drenched-cat]

Ngl scam comments are sometimes hilarious because someone certainly has never looked at a calendar before

[ink-drenched-cat]

So, I finally picked up the Miraculous rewrite again, am trying to finish the first chapter of a new fic and plan to slowly continue on the Raya fic!
