Thank You Kindly For The Double Tag! @estellamiraiauthor @moondust-bard @moonfeatherblue

Thank you kindly for the double tag! @estellamiraiauthor @moondust-bard @moonfeatherblue

I made it

I feel so called out. There is nothing I love more than turning the tough guys/gals into sobbing and/or bloody wrecks ψ(｀∇´)ψ

Thanks for the tag! Today I'm going with Solana Leto Bellamy, love interest of my adult magical girl series, Night Of The Blue Moon!

Are you named after anyone?

Kind of. My first name, Solana, doesn't come from anyone, but my middle name, Leto, comes from the goddess of childbirth and modesty. Maybe Phoebe will introduce me to Leto one day? I'd love to meet my namesake!

When was the last time you cried?

Yesterday at work. I was...Forced to do...Things I don't wanna talk about...Again. I'm Akai Starlight, an agency Vtuber with millions of subscribers, and I hate it. I hate working for VSweeties, and I hate all of the shit that my boss puts me through, but I can't quit until I find another job.

Do you have any kids?

No, and I don't want any. I don't like kids, and I know that some women end up permanently disabled from childbirth, so...Never happening.

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

A fair bit. It adds to my charm when I'm on camera as Kirameki Sunstone, my indie Vtuber persona. I'm hoping that Kirameki Sunstone will get me out of having to be Akai Starlight.

What is the first thing you notice about people?

Their eyes. I can instantly spot whatever someone's feeling in their eyes. I see way too much misery, boredom, and people trying to hide that they've been crying.

What is your eye color?:

Blue and gold. I have central heterochromia.

Any special talents?

I'm good at singing, playing videogames, and entertaining an audience. I have to be, though, because I'm a Vtuber, and if I wasn't good at any of those three things, I wouldn't have my job.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Both! I'm into cheesy analog horror and slasher films, but I also love rom-coms. My all-time favorite movie is But I'm A Cheerleader, partly because it helped me come to terms with the fact that I'm a lipstick lesbian.

Where were you born?

Brentwood, Essex, England. If you heard me speak, you'd know instantly that I'm an Essex girl.

Do you have any pets?

No, but my girlfriend, Ariel has a cat.

How tall are you?

About 5'11". I love being taller than my girlfriend because I love being able to sweep her off her feet <3

What was your favorite subject in school?

Is that a serious question? It is? Oh, well…I wasn’t good at anything at school. I didn’t do well in classrooms, or on sports fields. I don't understand Shakespeare, I'm bad at math, can't balance an equation to save my life, and I'm no good at any sports. I’m 25 and I’ve never had to use a thing I learned in high school in my life.

What is your dream job?

Indie Vtuber. I don’t wanna be ultra famous, I just wanna be famous enough to be Kirameki Sunstone full-time instead of working for VSweeties.

Tagging @gioiaalbanoart and @the-golden-comet!

OC Interview Tag

Ooh so excited to do this! Thank you very much for the tag @winglesswriter 💙

I will be answering for Christopher, the MC of Far Beyond The Moon.

Are you named after anyone?

[exhales] Maybe after a grandfather that I didn't get to know? My mother never talked much about our family. Maybe I'll skip this one.

When was the last time you cried?

... Can I skip this one?

Do you have any kids?

Yes! Allison just turned seven. She's just the best. [smiles]

Do you use sarcasm a lot?

When I do say something ironic or sarcastic, people tend to not understand me correctly right away... so I try not to. It's too awkward.

What is the first thing you notice about people?

Whether or not they're friendly.

What is your eye color?

Blue! Couple of baby blues.

Any special talents?

I used to play the piano. I don't know if that counts as a talent? [laughs] I do still play the guitar from time to time. And I used to sing.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings! [lying]

Where were you born?

Westfield Hospital, Massachusetts. It's the nearest hospital from my hometown Hillsburg.

Do you have any pets?

Sadly no! I would love to have a dog, but I don't have the time. I volunteer at Helping Paw – I don't think you've heard of it, it's a tiny dog shelter just outside of Hillsburg. We've got some amazing dogs there.

How tall are you?

6'1. I'm told I'd be taller if my posture wasn't this bad.

What was your favorite subject in school?

English, if I had to choose, I guess. Loved the theater club though! I was even in a high school band! [laughs]

What is your dream job?

Tough question! I'd love to have my own shelter someday. But the job I'm working right now isn't too bad, so I don't think about... dreams, I guess. Aw, man, that sounds depressing! [laughs]

.

Oh my god, that was such fun!! I've only ever answered as the author about the character, so this was very different. Let's tag a few people, but no pressure!

@mikathewriter, @verba-writing, @alinacapellabooks, @tryingtowritestuff24 + open tag for anyone who wants to do this!

Thanks for the tag @gioiaalbanoart! I’m sharing a hot-off-the-press snippet from Night Of The Blue Moon today! I literally just wrote this, but I like how it turned out, so, here we go!

 “I wasn’t able to see where he was escaping to, either. The reason for that has turned out to be that Orpheus has been escaping somewhere where my powers can’t affect him.”

Solana blinked. “What are you talking about, Phoebe? You know everyone’s future, don’t you?” she scoffed, “Where could someone possibly go where you can’t see their future?”

“Simple. The Underworld,” she responded as if explaining why the sky was blue, “I can see the futures of all living beings, but the dead have no future. Once a soul enters the Underworld, my power of foresight becomes useless, as their soul is counted as dead, even if their body is still alive.”

Tagging @bone-and-butterflies and @sunflowersforthemoon!

head's up seven up!

Local fave @cowboybrunch left an open tag and now I'm making it everyone else's problem.

This is roughly seven lines from Chapter 5 of "A Living Machine."

So you've had no opportunity the last three months to increase any of your combat Abilities. Correct. Not even at the shooting range. Doctor Horta, as I understand it, came back from the Nightfolk expedition, petitioned the Council, and is at the moment we leave engaged in his own... professional pursuits. I would have liked to have gone with him. Do you think things would be different if he was there? ... Khalid. ... no. I don't. I think this was always going to happen.

Thanks for the tag @the-golden-comet! Going with Night Of The Blue Moon again (I don't have many WIPs. I prefer to work on one thing at a time lol)

Title: Night Of The Blue Moon

Genre: Romance, magical girl

Audience: 18+ due to bloody battle scenes, on-screen deaths, and depictions of sexual assault and workplace abuse

Tags: #night of the blue moon, #notbm

Synopsis: (This is not going to be the canon synopsis, but it's what I have so far):

Some people live double-lives, but Ariel Gianapoulou lives a triple-life. By day, she's a meek, unassuming nobody who lives alone in a messy apartment and donates to the local food bank. On the internet, she's SeleneDev, the smash-hit indie game developer whose RPGs about magical girls have taken the internet by storm. The world is dying to know who she is, but no one has ever come close to finding out. By night, she's Blue Moon, a magical girl chosen by the titan Phoebe to defeat Orpheus, a supervillain who uses his powers to kill people and harvest their souls in an attempt to buy his dead son, Brooklyn, back from the Underworld. Ariel knows better than anyone that Brooklyn doesn't deserve a second chance at life; three years ago, he raped her at a party, and Orpheus covered up the incident to protect his son.

Orpheus has a long list of targets, and things get complicated when Ariel's crush, Solana, turns out to be one of the people on his list. Ariel and her partner, Red Sun, will stop at nothing to ensure that Orpheus' plan fails, and that Solana is saved. Will Ariel be able to defeat Orpheus, win Solana's heart, and keep her triple-life secret?

I think I’ll do... The Cost of a Kingdom! Under the cut!

Title: The Cost of a Kingdom

Genre: Fantasy, Romance

Audience: YA

Tags: #the cost of a kingdom

Stage of the Writing Process: planning

Synopsis:

The Kingdom of Ciryn and the Kingdom of Valenque are at war. To end the war, the King of Ciryn suggests a marriage between Princess Mireille of Ciryn Kingdom and Prince Varian of Valenque Kingdom. However, when Prince Varian visits the Kingdom of Ciryn, he attempts an assassination on the King, and is imprisoned.

When Mireille’s best friend, Keir, is imprisoned for a minor crime, she visits him to reassure him she would convince her father to free him. However, the Rebellion attacks.

When the soldier standing guard at Varian’s cell gets knocked out, he rejoices at his freedom. Navigating the narrow, stinky halls of the dungeons, he can’t believe his good luck as he stumbles into Princess Mireille.

As Prince Varian uses Princess Mireille as a bargaining chip, he escapes the kingdom with her, working his way back to his father as Mireille tries her hardest to escape.

Filled with simmering tension and mystery, Mireille and Varian un- cover a plot that would destroy the world...

As this WIP is in the planning process, I haven’t really discovered too much about the plot and haven’t developed anything as such, but I think this is enough?

Anyway, tyy for the tag, again, this was so much fun!!
