So hello there, so I decided that I wanted to share early on working God to a Mountain; well it is a little strange given I am so used to working with fanfics, so working on something original is new as usual- so I prep the summary of the chapter which I want to achieve which we will introduce to Jael and the world of Murukan where she stayed in Grandma Feng's flat. (It is at the undercut)
As for today, I will share with you Lance's moodboard which I made quickly
Lance I would say is the indifferent king, I borrowed inspiration from Shima from Skip and Loafer with the causal coolness of Itsumoi from Yubisaki to Renren (Though I will flesh him more), he is obsessed with music and writing, a total opposite to another character which I will introduce soon.
So I will try for this month is to try to do up Jael's character and the world where she lived.
Jael is glad that she can actually take her time to actually do not need to press the alarm, hurriedly brush her teeth, dressed in a decent blouse and jeans- rush out of the rented flat- only grabbing breakfast at the nearby convenience store, but instead she can still have that oversized army t-shirt and secondhand runner’s shorts clung to her body, languidly brushing her teeth- and coming out from the cocoon of her rented room, unto the living room which Perlah, the maid slash caretaker fed Grandma Feng with cooked oatmeal and egg. “Morning Ah ma, Morning Perlah….” Jael spoke dryly, Grandma Feng smiled at her quietly watching Jael taking a piece of bread and a half-filled jar of peanut butter, and shaking an instant pack of a chocolate malt drink- “Mero” pouring it into one of the chipped mugs- depicting a landscape of roaring mountains. She quietly took the recently boiled water and poured it unto the cup, which the steam become like the long flowing clouds that stretched through the highest peaks.
(This part is a special annotation, as it homage to my por por (My maternal grandmother) I used to stay at her flat after middle and hight school where she would make me Oatmeal with a runny egg and sugar as the snack- I tried to bring her world into my world)
A very Special Announcement: What's a God to a Mountain
You may know me here, if you found me as that writer who wrote Midokirin, (Shameless plugin: I want you is still updating) long time ago perhaps like 6 years back or so I actually wrote Icaracus Universe, which I am unfortunately I went burnt out due to the Pandemic bullshit in 2020, hence I shelved it because of personal reasons- and since then I have been on fanfic writing.
I have been thinking about this for a long time to get back to do original works that excite me (Excluding me dabbling on children's books). This idea came from the fuzzy feeling when you read a Shojou Manga- like Kamisama Kiss and Skip and Loafer but with a well-rounded female protagonist coming in the form of a former mountain goddess-Jael, who accidentally heard a prayer from her co-worker Lance during a terrible shift, which he grew curious about her presence, which is a nice change.
What's a God to a Mountain is my journey as a writer itself as Jael's background came from faint memories of my Tai Por (My Great grandmother from my mom's side) and an article on my local history migration of folk goddesses into new lands and of course a sweet friends to lovers relationship.
I hope I can make it as a YA novel that is both relatable and magical to all.
Anyway the hashtag would be this : 🧋⛰️ 🛍️ or God to Mountain if you want to follow. I will try my best to post the Moodboards if I could and my WIPS
