Rough day so offering an old thing of a sequence I wanted to animate but messed up the layers so couldn't do the puppet thing, not giving context cause may be spoiling something from chapter 7 which was my favorite to write. Ramble incoming

Things are getting to the scenes I am excited to write. And now that I get there I feel the rest of the chapter is so bad. Like, I am convering five different plots on one single chapter that make the ACTUAL important part of it seem like a side thing, I've taken too long just writing this one, feels like I once again messed up the order of things too and realizing once again I need to shorten the chapters.

13 so far and the plot has barely advanced. The book is meant to cover like, 3 or so years. Over 150 pages and not even a quarter through I need to reorganize priorities so bad but it feels like my brain just. Stops working when I try to fix things.

That and I do NOT know how to make natural-sounding dialogue neither consistent one. How woild a 14 y.o talk? Idk I don't remember that much of myself at 14 but I remember not talking a lot.

I recognize though this is me being petty and borderline ranting, figuring out what to do with this, one way or another, usually spamming my friends dms with ideas and asking for them to see if something sounds weird has helped.

little psa cause every so often gotta block weird people I don't want interacting with this blog: I don't care if you like bethesda as a studio or how you feel regarding their recent games if you are celebrating the hundreds of people losing their jobs and say they deserved it you can get the fuck out of here we're not siding with the mega corporation just because you got angry at a game, is not like the people who got laid off were sitting on their desk plotting how to personally annoy you out of spite, grow the fuck up, we love our games and all but your distaste for the latest entry is not more important than the real people who got affected by the recent events

If tumblr insist on showing me the same "omg cute helpful ai robot to change your mind uwu" I will drag that thing off screen and smash it to bits with the weight of all my sketchbooks

I didn't expect how the girls' dead or absent parents to have much of a role on the story but they do, 13 chapters so far and finally got to write an interaction between Mot and Rekko that I was looking forward, surprised myself with how much she mentioned Yalith and Belek. Ramble incoming with potential spoilers btw

Mot is the mage she is because her mother pleaded to the Spirits for her daughter's protection, she knows how to help on Keden's ship because her dad made sure she learned about sailing even if the city barely had access to the sea, she knows how to treat her brother's wounds because of her mother's. Every action she takes reflects a bit of them tbh and why wouldn't she want to reflect something from the closest thing she ever had to any hero? She grew up listening to her mother nearly leading revolts against the Korodan Empire, her father helping people cross the border, the things they did for the people of Haleth once thrown in there, if there is something she can carry of their legacy she will.

And Vora doesn't remember her father, some type of holy man maybe he had the pelt of some sacred animal he wore all the time, some kind man that people were cautious of, whatever image he conjured she will copy, the real driving force behind Vora though is her mother, she was old enough to remember her well, even worse, she saw her death. Vora is the daughter of a woman who threw stones at the overseers from her work if they didn't pay on time, the daughter of someone who sat among the village's elders, the daughter of someone so beloved they may as well call her a saint upon her death, and despite all of this nobody even remembers her name but her.

As for Ina, is not that she doesn't know their faces but more than not even their daughter seemed worthy of taking off their mask and veil. She will justify all of this, think this is fine because they are her parents therefore they must love her, they carried her to sleep and brushed her hair that is more than what other children in court got, that has to mean something, she will make it mean something, believing otherwise is a far bleaker option, why would she chose it?

Sir you have a morrodind pfp if you played that game and thought it was apolitical you may as well be telling me your only contact with tes as a whole comes from ai slop dagoth ur mods trained on reddit comments. Hell if it isn't a morrowind pfp it's from fallout and even someone like myself who has never touched it can tell you fallout has politics everywhere. Todd is not personally going to come out of your toilet at 3 am and shove the gay agenda up your ass pls chill the fuck down if it really bothers you that some game said "hey nazis are bad" you may be the problem here

Art/Lore update for the week:

Mural of unknown people found in the isle of Arcata.

Two scenes from chapter 10 and 12 that I drew, no real reason behind them other than I could see them like some cinematic shot.

Fresco of the Demigoddes Argasta during her time aiding the Korodan Empire.

Sketches depictic the way dragons could look (two of them are inspired by videogame characters feel free to guess who)

Two depictions of the snake Goddess Detalah, one disguised as mortal the other how she is often painted by the Fahrraeh.

Concept for the monasteries of the Dragon Folk.

As for the writing update (this is gonna be a bit of a long ramble)

On one hand I am proud to have gotten to chapter 12 this far, last year I got stuck on chapter 3 for months. On the other, I still feel stuckon 3 and even worse, I have once again changed my mind about chapter 1.

If I'm going to criticize myself I will say it feels like I'm just throwing words around, arranging them in the worse purple prose ever known to man and hoping it makes sense, I don't think I have explained the world, let alone given a solid idea of the characters, I don't think anything differeciates the POV from each character.

But hey got a milestone, get the og party together, not the happiest with the introduction of some and realizing I shoot myself in the foot with how chapters are structured but I did it, writing scenes with 6 people on them may be painful specially now that their dynamic has changed so much from what it was when little me imagined them but they are together.

I will have to go back to chapter 1 though so a few things make sense now.

Progress is progress though I need to remind myself this is a draft and I'm allowed to mess up drafts.

That and getting to write a certain scene on chapter 12... yeah had to step away for a sec cause it did take me back to some not so nice memories of my own teenage years. F U N ig.

I just feel like I have ideas I really like and no context on how to get to them so I'm just slapping words on paper and expecting not to hate them next time I read them.

Update is slow so have this thing of a scene on chapter 10, finally managed to finish it but realizing I made so many mistakes on 9 and some things from 1 and 4 feel so redundant now.

For everyone invested in the writing side:

Hear me, broken mother, Your child swaddled in blood-stained robes, Hear me, she who was most beloved and she who never bowed, My hands broken and scarred, Saintly mother of justice, I ask for your guidance, For your sorrowful voice to sow hope upon my ears, I ask for your temperance, To survive incoming toil, I ask to walk your steps, So I never turn myself to apathy, I ask for your strength, As I fend off the boot that ravaged the fruits of my labor. I, who is closest to a beast of burden, I, born lower than dirt, I, who asks for your aid, To bring your harpoon down into all who deemed me so, Stones may rain above the heads of greed and conquest, Through your wrathful blessing I may know rest, Hear my words, my plea, Mother Aluhsya, That I may sing your name as your children rise in rebellion.

I wrote this on chapter 11 though not sure if I want to translate everything to my poorly made Elven lenguage, tbh I feel the way it is written is hard to follow since I just shoved it between regular paragraphs. I think to this day the only fully good chapter I've made is 7 but not hating this one. I am questioning however if I want to rewrite all of 5, while I am attached to the idea of making it the POV of one of the character's mother it's starting to feel somewhat disconected from everything.

Still gotta figure out where to shade the file with the 9 chapters cause yeah most people wouldn't click on some strange link to some random pdf

[omiraro]

idk if I'm skipping the weekend update. sick and brain is a bunch of sludge atm

[omiraro]

Busy all month but managed to make a little something of Mez and her daughter for pride

[omiraro]

I'm gonna be honest rough week for progress, have been busy with work and pet stuff, some old stuff are in here that I hopefully haven't shown before so:

Portraits of the characters Vora and Lue

Old sketches of Keden and Nerith

Quick background I made myself as reference for when I'm writing scenes on it

Older pieces made to explore the clothing of Elven women

A rough map of each region

Extra portraits done to practice on two other characters.

As for the writing progress: chapter 10 is on the works, kind of advanced but I feel the tone isn't fitting well with the events of 4 and 7 so rewritting a good chunk of it, chapter 11 is done though there's that.

[omiraro]

Like man I have things to criticize about these games and lore too but. Chill the fuck down I don't think it's normal you're throwing a tantrum just because someone has dyed hair on an mmo

[omiraro]

Commission done for @lambasi the paint was fun to make, glad you liked the bg too

[omiraro]

WEEKLY ART UPDATE (extra lore's for free in Ko-Fi):

Portrayal of the birth of the God Palen, pulled from a caldera by his brother, Meru.

Visuals of a house in the city of Haleth and the inside of a Tide Singer's ship.

A dream by several members of various royal families depicting the same figure.

A young girl under the hand of the Voysaran Empire sits in front of the aftermath of her mission.

The murder of Prince Elzhenir of Doshkaye.

Concepts for different outfits on a few characters.

The Goddesses, Yewa and The Ashiarrah, Tide Mother and Mother of Scribes of the Guilded Shoreline.

ONTO THE WRITING UPDATE:

Everything from a small prologue to chapter 9 has been written, some I'm more confident than others tbh. I have also put that on a pdf and probably butchered the format, 154 pages in total so far which tells me I should shorten this cause idk if this is even a quarter of the whole thing. And tbh idk where to share that thing but there is this as proof.
