Last Line Tag

The lovely @stardustspiral tagged me for this! Thank you so much!!

This will be taken from my book, Puppet Kingdom. :)

I frown at my own book, A Brief Overview of Commerce, and withhold a groan. There was no time to stock up on fiction before the lockdown, leaving me stuck with a tome inked in the stuffy prose of a 1,000-year-old tomb.

Althaia is, uh, not having a fun time right now.

I shall re-tag you (with no pressure!) along with @zmwrites, @akindofmagictoo, @etjwrites, and whoever else would like to do this!

☕ for any oc

Hi!! thanks for asking!

☕ Give us one (or more if you feel like it) of your OCs deep dark secrets! Why do they keep it hidden? Spill the tea!

Bay has never forgotten how they initially joined the Pirates instead of the Lost Kids. And that's all I can say

Thanks again!

"The stars in his eyes weren't reflections."

[Send me a fave line from your WIP and I’ll reply with one from mine!]

AHHHH STAR MAGIC!! I LOVE STAR MAGIC (or magic-seeming) SO SO MUCH.

Alas, mine is a lot more... painful.

Stars danced behind my eye when something hard connected with my ribs, knocking me to my side, knocking another searing bolt of pain through my body as I rolled onto my back, chest shuddering with uneven breaths.

1 for the writing prompts

Prompt: "is that my shirt?" "you mean our shirt?" - from this prompt list

for FinnPetra, obviously. uh, pretend they’re already dating.

Petra was only gone from the room a few minutes, but in that short time, Finneas had somehow made his way into her old oversized camp sweatshirt.

Oversized for her, of course. Only slightly snug on him.

"Is that my shirt?" she demanded.

"I don't know, is it?" Finneas replied, trying, and failing, to suppress a smirk as he leaned back into the bed, almost as if posing.

"Yes, it is," Petra insisted, joining him on the bed making a swipe for his sleeve. 

He quickly held his arm out of her reach. "Where did you get it?"

"Camp. I bought it from the shop the last year we—" Her voice trailed off as her memory cleared. "Oh, no. I didn't. You did. You lent it to me on that last night when we were stargazing and I was cold."

"And you never gave it back." Finneas shook his head in mock disapproval. "Is that how you thank me?"

"I'm sure I was going to," Petra defended. "But my mom came to pick us up early the next morning and I had to rush to make sure Val didn't forget anything in their cabin and I guess I forgot."

"Excuses, excuses."

"You know what?" Petra said. "Take it. It's about time you had it back."

"No, keep it," he protested, starting to pull it over his head. "You've had it for so long already, it's practically yours at this point."

Petra stopped him, placing her hand over his. "You bought it. It is your shirt."

"No," he said, intertwining his fingers into hers. A soft giggle escaped her lips as he pulled the sweatshirt's sleeve over both their hands. "It's our shirt."

👐 for any character!

Thank you for the question! :) I’ll answer this for Seolys, from Of Fury and Shadows!

👐 - can your character handle more than one set of hands on them? do they enjoy it under the right circumstances, or generally not?

- Generally not. She doesn’t like the attention, but she does crave touches. For some years she has been rather lonely and it really affected her. I think having suddenly many people around her (and that touch her) would really overwhelm her. She’s acting all tough, but on the inside she’s lonely and just really wants to have someone she can snuggle up to whenever she needs it.

H3

H3. do they like the snow?

I actually cackled when I saw that you picked this question. I feel like I have only been talking about snow in regards to my OCs in the last 2 days. XD It’s actually snowing outside rn. It hasn’t snowed this much over here in decades. I just can’t think about anything else. It’s anywhere. I literally named one of my characters “Ashling Snow” and he LIKES snow and snow-related prompts keep popping up on my dash. It’s a cool winter time.

So yes, Ashling Snow, deuteragonist of Artifice, does like the snow. XD He grew up in the country that I am calling “The Northern Union” for now, which is situated in the very north of the made-up continent where Artifice takes place. The biome up there is Taiga going into Tundra, and it’s rather cold all year round with a long, intense winter. Snow reminds Ashling of home. He does very much so love the north and the place where he grew up.

On the other hand, Zeph Guile, my tritagonist from the same WIP, hates the snow because he was raised in Hortus, the capital of the country aptly called the “Central Kingdom” because I cannot name countries. Can you guess where on the continent it is located? Hortus is very much so the industrial heart of the Central Kingdom, which some of the most advanced technology in the entire vaguely Renaissance-esque time period (got some steampunk vibes too, but most tech is related to the magic). However, environmental activism has not been invented yet, so Hortus is also dark and grimy. The snow that falls there is grey and muddy. Zeph thinks it’s disgusting. When he comes to The Northern Union for the first time in the second book, he’s actually stunned by the beauty of the snow-filled landscape. Ashling then proceeds to absolutely obliterate him in Zeph’s first ever snowball fight and Zeph can’t even be mad because he is having such a great time.
