For this week, we think we will focus on one of our newest WIPs to be introduced, The Rapunzel Witch!
The Work In Progress:
This story was honestly supposed to just be a tiny drabble or short story about the shenanigans of a Queen, a Knight, and the Rapunzel who would really rather just stay in the Tower. Long story short: things got way out of hand.
The story is more going to be scenes ands soft plot points, since we really want this story to be a little more soft work and fickle timelines like normal fairytale retellings.
Honestly, this is one of the few stories where we don't have a clear path forward, and we are, for all intents and purposes, just absolutely rolling random dice and hoping for the best.
The Characters:
The Queen and the Knight are the only two people who have actual names at the moment and no, we did not think this through when we first introduced them. Angelina came when we were trying to figure out a part of the story, and we just came up with Bartlebee when we created the WIP Intro Post.
A small detail about the names and characters is that every one of them will hold a "namesake" or word that is supposed to help define them. You can see this with, "the Adored Angelina," and "the Beloved Bartlebee." We don't think that we will always match the name to the namesake, but who knows!
When first writing the Rapunzel's Witch, we forgot about the tiny little fact that the Queen was married. And so apparently, there is a King roaming around the Castle, and they are not under supervision, if something catches fire, we will now blame them.
The Writing Process:
This is one of the few stories that we aren't doing massive prepping and planning for. It kind of went from a small random story idea into its own thing, so they story is a little chaotic at the moment, but we are kind of happy of this story that is unfolding as it goes!
We kind of had a little trouble with the Tumblr Post regulations - we were a dumb and did not understand some of the things - so we might actually go back and shift things around so the flow is a bit better with the story.
Writing this kind of was nice, and for the writing process, we definitely took more inspiration from Disney's Rapunzel, but also this lovely story called, The Errant Prince, that we have read about. We wants the writing vibes to be the same as these ones, though we might put in some major conflicts in there at some point too.
We have added the Content Tag List, just bc it is content for our WIPs, but there will be no other pressure in having to do this if you don’t want to, or have been tagged before! The main tags will remain open, so if anyone wants to use this as an excuse do join in, then this is your excuse! c:
Hey, guys!!! So I am in love with MaGM, WbW and STS and have been trying to come up with my own little event I can start too! I used to have one for prompt-making but that was TOO hands-on and stressful, so I’ve been wracking my brain, trying to make another... less hand-on-y one. I think I finally recently came up with exactly the right events! Introducing...
Truth-be-Told Tuesday!
As you can probably guess, it’ll take place every Tuesday. It’s a day for people to ask writers about the behind-the-scenes of their stories/novels/poetry etc etc. This can be how they came up with concepts or characters or names. This can be anything about the process of writing. It can be how they decide what to name their characters. It can be how they got into writing. Just anything that’s BEHIND THE SCENES. Not directly about their WIPs or characters, but still about them at the same time, if that makes sense.
For this post, I’m going to post this for anyone to reblog to their writing blogs or main blogs if they wish to receive an ask for the event!
Much like STS, I would like anyone that participates in TbTT to please return asks sent to them unless specifically asked not to. Reciprocation is polite, nice and it’s always fun to be asked questions!
If any of you have any questions, please feel free to message me or send me an ask. Otherwise, happy almost TbTT and I hope to hear from you guys! (:
~Hannah
PS feel free to send me an ask and if you do, I’ll return the favor with an ask for TbTT unless you say otherwise, if you don’t want to reblog the post but still want to receive an ask!
Amaranthine is the most beautiful girl alive, her face masterfully sculpted by Khozyain himself. At least that is the selling point Madame Foruj of the House of Halos has come up with. As the most expensive item in all of Kayala except the crown jewels in the Harvest Palace, she is put under the protection of Soryn--another nameless with a past just as shadowy as hers, making quick friends with him. But when Soryn disappears, suddenly leaving her on her own in a city which means to destroy her, Amaranthine discovers that the embers of magic within her are greater than she ever believed, and she’s suddenly dragged into the world of priestesses, priests, and witches. Now she must make herself formidable enough to challenge the power of Khozyain and his prophet--Soryn Nyf.
Miykal Seher despises the Major Arcana, a court which rises from the new Year of Power every couple of generations--her own being the year for the new pool of contestants. All she wants to is to stay with her father and brother and one day take over the Blood Court, but when the latest High Priestess dies, opening testing for the population of Usmary, she’s one of two girls selected to compete for the spot. Suddenly in the home of the Major Arcana, Santa Ivyak, Miykal is thrusted into a world of politics and conspiracy, the tides churning all around her. She wants to go back home, but losing means dying, and she’s had enough death for a lifetime. She’ll have to rely on old friends and dangerous strangers to survive the trials--and the voice which calls to her as she sleeps.
These two girls, split by thousands of years, must face the rise of new eras which seem to threaten all of humanity. Their stories will come colliding, and all that which is earthly and divine will know the names of the first and last High Priestesses.
Amaranthine--or Amara--was abandoned at the gates to the village of Viscally, left to die in the snow. However, after seeing her eyes, Madame Foruj took her in, and trained her to be a proper Lady of the House of Halos. Despite living in the brothel, she considers herself lucky, as the price placed upon her is much too high for everyone who has come for her. Amara is passionate and fiery, hating the state of the world and even, in a way, Khozyain for allowing the violence which people wage against one another. Ever since six Amara knew she had abilities, although she always thought they were small elemental manipulation abilities.
Miykal was born into a world of gods, the Major Arcana being some of the most powerful beings in Usmary and perhaps the world. After the death of her mother and being rejected to the role of Temperance, she has devoutly hated them, and has even gone so far as to join the Court of Blood in an act of total defiance. By working in the Blood Court, she makes most of the funds for her family, wanting nothing more than to keep her brother and father safe. To her, the legends of the First Arcana are nothing but fairy tales, the existence of magic in her world gone.

Kayala is the western nation of the continent Aniveroseá. It is home to the Court of Glory, which serves the whims of Khozyain. The divide between the wealthy and poor is deep and wide, and corruption is spread from border to border. The land here is cold, particularly in Verosi, the village where Amara lives. The Court of Glory lives in the Harvest Palace, built off centuries of wealth gained from imperialism.

Shenzhou is the eastern nation of Aniveroseá. Although war has never been initiated with Kayala, it keeps it’s borders against them strong, having seen how desperate it is to gain more and more territory. To most of the world, this country is a mystery, only allowing foreign merchants into coastline markets outside of the main walls. As such, many people are suspicious of Shenzhou, as well as the secrets of magic within. There are a number of rumors regarding the Jianjun, a notorious academy for witches.

The nation which is ruled by the Major Arcana and the Minor Courts. Since the rise of Arc, a god around whom the Major Arcana is based, a Year of Power has been selected to take on the role of his original protectors and guard the nation. It is a rich, and industrialized nation with a diverse landscape that includes plains, large bodies of water, forests, and mountain ranges.

I usually have a major fear of leather belts (thanks to them being my father's weapon of choice as a kid) but this week I wore a pretty leather belt on three days! And the texture didn't make me freak out! 😁✏
