I don't know if I necessarily see Sarai as being specifically grumpy as a baby, but could see her as being stubborn. After all, both her parents can be stubborn, when it suits them. 😅
I imagine that would make things challenging at times.
Wee stubborn, determined babies can definitely be endearing to outsiders. I can see Sarai as taking after both her parents, as being endlessly curious but also fearless. Getting into all sorts of bumps and scrapes while exploring.
Rayla stalked angrily into the room. Callum froze, his breakfast doughie-o halfway to his mouth.
“…What?” he asked, utterly lost.
She held up her fist pointedly, something small and brown in her grip. He flinched as she threw it at him, but it stopped moving three inches away from her hand, floating gently to the ground.
“Okay…” Callum took a bite of his doughie-o. “Amd?”
“And, I’ve had enough!” She put her hands on her hips “You have to let me brush you.”
Callum coughed, choking on his breakfast. “I’m sorry, what?”
“You have to let me brush your wings out.”
Callum let out a half-hearted chuckle. “Okay first of all, you don’t brush a feathered creature, you preen them, and second of all I am not letting you preen my mage wings!”
Rayla leaned back, folding her arms across her chest and shooting him with a stubborn glare.
“You will if you want to keep sharing a bed with me.”
His mouth dropped open. “Rayla, you can’t be serious.”
She tapped her foot impatiently.
“What’ll it be feather-boy; me or the wings?”
Callum leaned his head back and groaned. “You, obviously. Always you.”
Rayla gave him a self-satisfied smile. He sighed, setting down his breakfast and lifting his arms to his side.
“Manis—”
“What, are you crazy?!” She smacked him quick and hard on the shoulder, “Not inside, bird brain!”
“Ow,” Callum said, rubbing his shoulder, “You can cool it with the bird themed insults, by the way, I get the memo.”
She smirked at him mischievously, one eyebrow raised.
“What, are my insults too fowl for you?”
Callum groaned again. Rayla laughed, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the door.
A random question (or maybe not so random): How do you picture a human Rayla? I’ve always wondered about her physical appearance, since she has blonde hair, horns, and pink skin.
It's been too long since I blogged another update on Sun Fueled Rage, so I should probably do so again haha.
The chapter 14 outline is nearly complete! It's been long delayed, I actually wanted to have this done in like... June... but the scenes for this chapter are extremely hard to write due to the possible implications the events can have on future chapters. I need to really make sure I write these properly so that the story going forward isn't changed in such a way that I need to redo the whole plan, as well as just, trying to write them in a way that I find the most satisfying. And that's been taking me a bit of time and it did unfortunately evolve into a small writers block I ran into due to trying to get this to be perfect.
My standards for SFR have gotten extremely high. The story, over the course of it's run, has evolved into something much more ambitious then when it started and I really think I can (and want to) deliver something truly special for you guys with the whole story. But then that of course gets me hung up in a few places when things get difficult for a bit and can lead to stuff like that writers block I mentioned.
EITHER WAY, I'm slowly grinding through it. At this point in the outline nearly everything is done, I just need to finish two scenes, both of which are started and both of which are near completion. I just need to get through a few last difficult bits. Once that's done I'm hoping the draft will go smoother as the outline is where 90% of my creative thought process for how things will go in the chapter happens nowadays, and drafting is just a matter (usually) of putting it all together. It's done that way on purpose because once I start writing I kinda just wanna *write* haha, and the chapters that have used this method have turned out pretty awesome imo.
Anyways, that's all for now. Just wanted to check in to confirm, yes SFR is still being worked on (as always) and yes I am still making progress!

I think it would be fun if Sarai inherited Callum's temper and Rayla's impulsiveness.
I wanna see them trying to navigate that, while also acknowledging that it's difficult, and simultaneously admitting that aspects of those qualities are why they fell in love in the first place.
He always has, really. His feelings have always fluctuated between fondness and frustration for various reasons since fourteen, which—
Ha—is pretty moon-y itself, he thinks, watching his moon arrange herself just oh so alluringly across their bed, while he flips his sketchbook closed.
She beams, and the words are a knowing, gentle tease: “Wasting moonlight, Callum.”
Even connecting to the arcanum itself had been more than a little bittersweet: he and Rayla finally really, really talking about everything. He’d long since forgiven her, of course—or rather decided that there was nothing to forgive, but it’d still hurt his heart, anyway, learning the entirety of the dark parts that’d made his brave, beautiful Rayla go off on her own for all that time. She’d talked about it all for him, too, letting him in deeper than maybe ever before, struggling with words and the biggest big feelings he’d ever heard her admit to…all so he could have a hope of understanding her arcanum, at long last.
He can’t wish away the dark side, no matter how much her dark hurts her (or him). He loves her completely, because of the light and the dark. He wouldn’t wish hers away…and that’d been the breakthrough.
His is ever-present, too, always there, no matter the illusion he paints. A flip-side—not just something buried deep beneath the surface.
He’d come out the other end of their Silvergrove vacation feeling the moon phase in his bones and understanding—not just accepting—that desperation was just devotion’s flip-side.
A part of love’s ever-presence.
The first full moon since they’ve been back here at home at the Banther Lodge glows through the window, bathing her—Rayla, love itself—in a pale, bright beam…and as conflicted as he’s ever felt about the dark parts, he’s never doubted:
been rotisserating a silly goofy multi-scene alternate starscarper sandwich fic that's rayllum just...being DISASTERS instead of having a lovely beautiful smooth-sailing first time
and I just had a poor Rayla thought?
cw: for full moon fertility related headcanon stuff below 😭
you guys wanna do some moon-synced fertility/menstrual cycle math with me? you know how the moon is new in Moonless Night? If we go with the fanon idea that Moonshadow elves ovulate on the full moon...poor bby girl gets potential first time sabotaged by her baby box 😭 /ref
disclaimer that obvs if she still wanted to get up to somethin' callum would be a sweetheart about it, and maybe they still would but ehhhh if I were an eighteen year old virgin I would nawt be doin' all that
man fanfiction will really have you writing the most poetic shit about ✨the moon✨ or whatever, all in service of having your blorbos get busy a few paragraphs down
