Can you tell me something you love about 'We All Lie Amongst The Thorns'. Something you're excited to write about but maybe haven't gotten to yet?
Ooooo this is a great ask!
I want to say all of it lol, but that's vague and unhelpful. I haven't really written a lot of this one to be perfectly honest, mainly plot outlines and vibes. Anyhow, I'm excited to write about the Queen's backstory, she's a super badass character (think warrior queen who has won many wars from the frontlines type of thing). I just love the vibes of the whole story and can't wait to introduce more magic into it.
Also if you like fairytale retellings and will take recommendations, Spindle's End by Robin McKinley is what got this idea rolling around in my mind. It's not a dark retelling per se, but it's a fantastic read and I highly recommend it.
Okay so @thecomfywriter Uno reversed my ask on me here, so here we go.
I desperately want to adopt Faine. He already has an adopted mother and she's great but honestly this man just has so much trauma that he needs to be readopted as an adult. That's breaking the rules of my own game though, so I can't say him. (Yes I just spent an entire paragraph talking about how I want to adopt a man who's literally 909 years older than me)
As for someone I actually want to adopt as a child, I would say the Tollemaches, but I can only adopt one and I can't separate them.
Kyro is a great choice, but he's an extremely obscure side character that might not even show up in the main book, depending on how I structure the series.
Switching books for a second, adopting the mc from Like A Movie would probably be good for him. He hasn't told me anything about his childhood, but I get the sense he wasn't loved enough.
Switching back to What's Your Story because I want to give it attention, I have so many traumatized characters that I would absolutely adopt, but a lot of them have siblings that they wouldn't want to leave behind. I would adopt Briley, since she doesn't get adopted until she's thirteen, but her adopted family is so sweet and I wouldn't want to take her from that.
I think at the moment my top option has to be Kalyani. She doesn't appear in the story for a good long while though, so you guys won't hear about her much. Sorry!
Since I mentioned Like A Movie up there I might as well briefly touch on my other wips.
The Director probably needs adopting from Appearances Are Deceiving, he didn't exactly have an easy childhood.
There are so many sad children in We All Lie Amongst The Thorns that it would be extremely unfair to choose one.
I don't think any of the MCs in Nearly Parallel Lives needs adopting. Oh scratch that actually, Bren does, definitely.
The kids in Survival Is A Team Sport have loving parents, they just get separated during the apocalypse.
I can't think of anyone that needs adopting in The Enchanted Forests at all. Arcana might, but I don't know what her childhood was like.
What would Rosalie think of the princess from tangled? Why would she think that?
Rosalie would be very confused as to why Rapunzel had never climbed out of the tower before, even just to have a look around. She would probably find her kind of ridiculous tbh, and think Mother Gothel is very strange for not letting Rapunzel learn from experience. They had very different upbringings lol
Rosalie is the main character of We All Lie Amongst The Thorns
She's a princess who was left in the woods outside of her kingdom to die because of the prophecy that if she made it to her sixteenth birthday she would be cursed and this would somehow bring about the destruction of the kingdom. She's my version of Sleeping Beauty.
She obviously doesn't die as a baby and grows up in the woods. She's a very kind girl, but she's always been taught to be wary of humans, so she distrusts them. When she discovers who she is and why she was left in the woods, that mistrust deepens to hatred.
