Writing Log 10

Writing Log 10

Started chapter 4 today. Only wrote about 2 to 2.5 pages, but it's finally getting closer to the parts I actually want to write, so all in all I'm pretty excited about it.

I think I'll be able to finish this one by the end of this week, if I really go for it. But we'll see. At this point, my initial goal of finishing the first draft by the time classes start is pretty much dust, so really I'm just hoping to get as far as possible, since I'll be too busy then to dedicate as much time as I want to this.

I could probably write more, but I've been neglecting my personal studies, so I think I'll try catching up on that instead. After a nice Cozy Grove break.

Character Spotlight: Prince Fenris

WIP: Crown of Blood (unofficial title)

Role: Secondary Antagonist

Full Name: Fenris Andras Belial Arcturus Adecia Age: late teens, early 20s Gender/Sex: Cis Male Family: King Silas (father), Lady Lorelei (mother), King Idris (uncle), Prince Atlas (half-brother), Prince Caelum (half-brother), Prince Hyperion (half-brother), Prince Osiris (half-brother), Prince Zephyr (half-brother), Prince Ignis (half-brother), Princess Adrasteia (half-sister) Skills: Magic, sword-fighting Bio: The seventh prince of the Adecian royal family. With his mother's dubious lineage and his own stunning lack of notable skills or accomplishments, Prince Fenris is hardly considered a contender for the throne. Despite this, he consistently remains one of the most vocal about his ambitions.

It hardly helps that he's the second youngest out of his litter of half-siblings- with an entire lineup of older, more accomplished and well-respected brothers ahead of him, gaining so much as a leftover noble title is little more than a pipe dream. It wouldn't be quite so grating if not for the fact that the top star candidates for inheritance includes his sister, Adrasteia- the only sibling younger than him.

Time is running out for Prince Fenris- for all of them. Eventually, an heir must be named. And considering their father's own blood-stained rise to the throne, it's no secret what is expected of King Silas' children to prove worthy of the crown.

OC Outfit Tag

Thanks for the tag, @mysticstarlightduck! I'll be going with Felix for this first round because I've actually given his real thought, lmao.

Rules: Post pictures of the kinds of clothes your OC wears!

Clarification: Felix is a cis boy (story starts at 14, ends in his 20s). I wanted to clarify so that no one gets confused! I normally wouldn't bother but one of my IRLs misunderstood and was disappointed lmao. I just like guys with good fashion sense. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Gently Tagging: @amaiguri, @pandoras-comment-box, @owlsandwich, @anoelleart, and anyone else who's interested!

Character Aesthetic Deep Dive Tag!

I created this tag in this post, and I want to do it again for another Scrapyard Boys OC of mine so here we go!

Rules: Make a moodboard with your character's aesthetic, a playlist that fits their vibe, "badly summarize them" (like, talk about their personality, but funnily), etc. It absolutely does not need to be super detailed!!!!!

✦ Character Aesthetic: Maxwell Cymbelline, WIP -Scrapyard Boys

♡ Moodboard ♡

♡ Playlist ♡

Not All Heroes Wear Capes - Owl City

He doesn't fight crime Or wear a cape He doesn't read minds Or levitate But every time my world needs saving He's my Superman Some folks don't believe in heroes 'Cause they haven't met my dad He loves his workshop And rock 'n roll He's got a hot rod And a heart of gold And you could say he's a man of few words But he talks a lot within And even though I'm a little taller I still look up to him

Could Have Been Me - The Struts

Don't wanna live as an untold story Rather go out in a blaze of glory I can't hear you, I don't fear you I'll live now 'cause the bad die last Dodging bullets with your broken past Well, I can't hear you, I don't fear you now Wrapped in your regret What a waste of blood and sweat Oh oh-oh I wanna taste love and pain Wanna feel pride and shame I don't wanna take my time Don't wanna waste one line I wanna live better days Never look back and say It could have been me It could have been me, yeah

Burn The House Down - AJR

Used to keep it cool Used to be a fool All about the bounce in my step Watch it on the news Whatcha gonna do? I could hit refresh and forget Used to keep it cool Should I keep it light? Stay out of the fight? No one's gonna listen to me If I write a song Preaching what is wrong Will they let me sing on TV? Should I keep it light? Is that right? Way up way up we go Been up and down that road Way up way up, oh no We gon' burn the whole house down

I Can Do It With A Broken Heart - Taylor Swift

'Cause I'm a real tough kid, I can handle my shit They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it" and I did Lights, camera, bitch smile, even when you wanna die He said he'd love me all his life But that life was too short Breaking down, I hit the floor All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting, "More" I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my marks 'Cause I can do it with a broken heart (one, two, three, four) I'm so depressed, I act like it's my birthday every day I'm so obsessed with him but he avoids me like the plague I cry a lot but I am so productive, it's an art You know you're good when you can even do it With a broken heart

Gone, Gone, Gone - Phillip Phillips

When life leaves you high and dry I'll be at your door tonight If you need help, if you need help I'll shut down the city lights I'll lie, cheat, I'll beg and bribe To make you well, to make you well When enemies are at your door I'll carry you way from war If you need help, if you need help Your hope dangling by a string I'll share in your suffering To make you well, to make you well Give me reasons to believe That you would do the same for me And I would do it for you, for you Baby, I'm not moving on I'll love you long after you're gone For you, for you You will never sleep alone I'll love you long after you're gone And long after you're gone, gone, gone

♡ Badly Summarized OC ♡

Seemingly delicate, polite teenager who loves vintage stuff but can actually pack a punch and is not afraid of a fight - in fact... she rather likes a good bit of chaos

Certified Daddy's Little Girl

That one friend that strangers think is the "Responsible One" but is actually a main Source Of Chaos in the friend group

Feral gremlin of a girl and unashamed, will watch the goriest and intense horror movies while having a girl's night with her friends and painting her nails different colors

Enabler of Bad Decisions who never thinks things through and then gets like "well, went horrifyingly out of control.... LET'S DO IT AGAIN!"

Worst driver in the history of drivers but is trying her best <3

Human embodiment of both an orange cat and a hyperactive border collie in one body

Would practically collect stray puppies and kittens like Pokémons if her current doggo wasn't jealous of every other animal in the world

Likes cereal without the milk. This has nothing to do with anything, but I think its a relevant fact of her personality lol
