opening the sw wip folder for the first time in months...man how i love this one

[coline7373]

hello coline!!! always excited to hear about your wip and to offer motivation! hope work eases up soon <3

ok i am very intrigued by butterfly kiss. that just sounds so sweet. also i am laughing, and i would love to know what about bb cody + '17 is going to upset me sdfghsdgfadfgsgf i will never ever in my life be upset by bb cody no matter the context

My friend 💕💖💕💖💕💖💕

That butterfly kiss looks ugly but it's in the work so I will finish it!!! *soldier salute*

(These WIPs all look ugly, which is why I have left them to languish. No matter how much time I spent on them, I can't make them look how I want to T_T)

The bb!Cody+ Alpha is the one I started for you and then... never finished because the coloring just wouldn't yield.

I feel double guilt about this one, so you get a double answer 😅

Happy STS! I'm in the mood to hear about antagonists today! Why do they do what they do? What would it take for them to be on the protagonist's side (and if it's nothing, why?)?

Yay antagonists!

Let's go with Katarina because the others ;) aren't very developed

She does what she does because she's greedy, as simple as that. She wants the kingdom to bow at her feet, and she knows she can, so that's what she wants.

She wouldn't join Rose for nothing. Why would she just let it go? That'd leave her with no purpose. There's no reason to just throw her projects in the trash and just play the part of just another plain queen when she could be THE queen and rise Araxacy to heights never seen (cough cough even if at the expense of a few citizens). However, she would really like to have Rose on her side. She is smart and has charisma, and most of all, Katarina knows she can be terribly calculistic too, even if she doesn't want to admit it

Happy STS! If you had to make your WIP a musical, what would you title the songs? What kind of music would be there?

OH this one's good

I'll do for the Snow White wip, because it's the most fleshed out:

1 arc (the set up) - I think there'd be first a solo song of June, after Rose (mc, the snow white) convinces her father to marry again for the sake of the kingdom, and then scene cuts and we get June being kicked out of home. Then as he is wandering alone at town we get a very miserable song. But since the first song has to stabilish either setting or characters, we can mix it up with a duet with Rose back at the castle! Like in that one Barbie and the Popstar song where they sing "her life i wanna have". The song would highlight their similarities instead of their differences, and they'd sing about how hard their life is now etc etc character stabilishment. Then as June walks through the town and decides to work at the Viscountess's manor and start a new chapter on his life, the songs shift to a more hopeful and determined tone and and ends stabilishing both their goals.

The second song (still on first arc) could be already on the ball! (Quick recap: The viscountess June starts working for is the noblelady who will later become the Evil Queen. June gets transferred to the royal palace to continue serving her and he and Rose meet. This is the ball to choose the new queen, like in Cinderella) Perhaps a villain song by Katarina (viscountess/to-be evil queen) stabilishing her own wants and talking about the castle and its riches that will soon belong to her. No, no, actually: could be a song of the people and the guests talking about the kingdom to stabilish setting better than the starting song did, and then we get a few lines from Katarina just to let it clear she's the villain. She gets the final words on the song and stabilishes her wants, to tell how this whole kingdom we showed in the song is gonna be hers.

Third song, end of the arc, could be after Rose finds out about Katarina's plans and tries to convince June (who sees his lady as a parental figure who took him in after being abandoned by his own parents) to turn against her and work with her. Have you heard Rewrite The Stars? Similar structure, but completely different positionings and subjects lol

In the fourth song we get the villain music. It starts with Katarina finding out they know her true intentions and planning her next move. It has a more triumphant tone stabilishing her character where the second song couldn't reach with her few lines, focusing more on her traits and what she and the people around her think of her. It has some threatening elements, and it gets a few moments before June and Rose notice she is onto them and decide to run away. While they flee, the song reaches its ending note, with Katarina promising she will get Rose back, for her ruling to be final. This one can also adress about in the start or the middle that Katarina feels betrayed by June but ends up throwing those feelings away and translating them into determination to reach her final objective.

2 arc (fleeing and regrouping) - This one would start with a small timeskip of a month at best. We have the kingdom of Tibaí, seven hills away from Snow White's homecountry, with the corsary pirate Iraê. There has been a small string of small crimes in the area and her lord tells Iraê to go after the thieves (aka Rose and June trying to get by). She whines a bit, but goes after them and that's where the song starts: She goes through the city and talks a little about herself, not focusing much on the setting because we don't stay a lot of time here, but just enough so we don't feel strange on this novel scenario. This one song stabilishes her character, dreams and faults. We also get a few shots of her being flirty with local ladies, to stabilish her character as a freebie soul. Song ends before she finds Rose and June, when perhaps her lord calls her out, annoyed, that she is not taking anything seriously and it all ends abrubtly. The tone of the scene shifts to frustration, and then she manages to find Rose and June, her 'thieves'

(long story short, she gets their story out of them and decides to help them, because she wants a change of scenario in her life) The next song would probably be them getting out of this country as well, and getting into the next after they form a plan of action. Maybe it's divided in two parts, the first one being June and Rose being sad about their situation and then we get a music-less scene or two, and Iraê pulls the music back to cheer them up and we set a new objective

(actually there's a blank part in here on my current outline where probably Katarina sends in mercenaries to get Rose back, like the Hunter from the og fairy tale, and maybe Iraê deceives him with her Aweome Pirate skills. Maybe a song goes in the middle, not sure, and then the hunter goes back to the queen, defeated, and she gets perhaps one line relating to a past song ughhh idk actually)

3 arc (the prince) - They visit a queen nearby and present their situation, wanting to make an allyship to take down the Katarina. The queen says she'll help, but first she needs to know if they're trustworthy and asks them to find her son Cauã, the heir, who's disappeared. The trio takes the mission and goes after him, only to later find out he had actually ran away, and when he finds them we get a song stabilishing how he feels trapped in the castle, and we can drag a few themes back from the first stabilishing songs to tie him in the story better. It's very theatrical and stabilishes Cauã, and then in the middle someone from the trio (perhaps June) intervenes and turns the solo into a duet and convinces Cauã to go back

queen helps them, etcetera etcetera, fends a boat for them to go back to their kingdom and promises to make her word weight. Cauã asks to go along, to well, "prove they're serious about the allyship" (he just wants to travel) and we shift the scene back to the Kingdom, where one of Katarina's servants misses June and sings about that, but also shows us the trust she has in Katarina (she doesn't know), to tell the audience Katarina is not just an evil and vile monster, she is also a charismatic person who takes care of the one she has under her thumb and below all of that, is also an empathetic person. Still villainesque, but in this song, through the perspective of the servant we gotta show the audience all of her empathetic traits. (dont worry, Katarina actually appears more in the next couple of arcs because after a few problems with pirates we're back at the Kingdom and have Court Beef kind of conflicts)

The first half of the story ends in here so im gonna stop for now (maybe i continue later XD) before it gets even longer.

The songs names, to finish up, would probably go like: "New starts" (june + rose first song) "Down for the dawn" (ball song and where we stabilish Kat as the villain), "Come with me" (rose tries to convince june to join her), "Sunrise at Von Waldeck" (katarina's villain song and rose and june run away--von waldeck is her last name and the name of her former territory and manor), "Filthy thieves/In the honor of three oranges" (the corsary's song going after them/i can't decide a title but the three oranges would be the stolen goods), "Stars at dusk" (iraê cheers them up into a plan of action/i really can't pick a name for this one but i rlly want to keep this dawn theme going on and stars are hope soo), "Pitch gold heart" (the runaway prince's song that later turns into a duet with June), "Milady's late tea" (the servant song about Katarina and June in the end)

@leviabeat XD since you're technically in the snow white taglist even though i abandoned this wip for centuries

[cepheusgalaxy]

Oh yea also on another wip, Iraê serves the Lotus House (shes a corsary) so officially she's called Iraê Lotus. Her own surname is another but like. If shes answering in court or she'd be called Lotus

[cepheusgalaxy]

Ok inspired by @aromanticsky bc thats a cool af idea

Oc two truths and a lie. Which is the lie?

June was kicked out from home

He is a servant

He is not very fond of people in general

A while ago, somebody sent me an ask asking who my ocs where. I wanted to make a proper introdution, so on each link is a post with a certain cast of ocs. They are separated for wip, and there is a little bit of context on the top of each one.

1. Ein

11. (chosen one story--coming out eventually)

Wipless ones:

12. Petrichor oc - he was born of a redrawing i did of an old piece. In the original drawing, the character was a girl but I decided to make him trans just like me. He has long pink hair and is a witch on a modern witch academy. That's all his lore. Main traits: Cocky, playful, confident.
