My word: ADORE

A

Any curiosity she had for the lore behind this world and kingdom were almost immediately stamped out once she realized Google didn’t exist here, and she’d have to dig through a bunch of dusty books to get the uncondensed, long-winded propaganda-laden version of it herself.

D

Despite the layers of my gown, it was surprisingly easy to move in. I gripped the sides of the window and planted one heel on the sill.  “Your Highness?” The man called on the other side. 

O

Or worse; they'd be shape-shifting hot men with barely enough scales in their human forms to even pass as a cheap Halloween costume. She shuddered. Please don't be hot men.

R

Ruthless, powerful, conniving. Worse than a villain. Ultimately, though, no matter how hard she tried to convince everyone otherwise, she was human like the rest of us.

E

"Every time you talk, it's like you want me to beat the shit out of you."

Your word: DESIGN

Let's go with some of the cast of Grim City Chronicles, my Victorian/Edwardian historical fantasy WIP!

GRIM CITY CHRONICLES

Willem - Anxious seventeen-year-old indentured servant with severe self-esteem issues and a heart of gold, got involved with an insane sorcerer and now doesn't know what to do about the ✨consequences✨

Jesse - Sprightly little boy way too good for this world and who radiates Oliver Twist vibes in the best way

Vince - BREAKING NEWS: Angry local Victorian Era prostitute pretends he doesn't care about anyone other than himself and his cousin. But cares IMMENSELY

Peggy - Seemingly bubbly adorable girl whom everyone thinks is a historical version of a manic pixie girl but is actually much more than that. Also, she loves macabre, gothic things and has a bug collection.

Ilya - Chaotic con-man who also happens to be a musician - loves a good measure of troublemaking chaos and makes it everyone else's problem

Dasha - Hyperactive teenager obsessed with explosives and inventing new machines with clockwork. Will blow something up if too bored.

Gemma - American thief who moved to London and just wanted to have one normal day but ended up caught up in a whole conspiracy with a bunch of other young weirdos instead.

Fantasy worldbuilding: the other races consider humans deceitful and scheming to the core, and there is one example of human behavior that they name each time they warn their young: Humans poison trap their own food storages. Anyone who has been to human residences has seen it, somehow they all do it - to deter thieves, naturally, though some think it is also to avoid suspicion when poisoning a guest or visitor.

Only members of one's own household would know which meats have been rubbed with poisonous plants, and which bulbs grown in the garden will kill you. And they're all stored right next to the proper edible food! And the humans never mistakenly poison themselves this way, they are far too cunning to fall into their own traps.

If you ask a human about this, they will be baffled and insist they've never heard of this custom in their lives. While they may suppose that some other human cultures might do something so wicked, each one reassures asking visitors that their people do not do anything like that. And the truth is, they really don't. Not on purpose, at least.

It's just that humans are the only ones immune to garlic, mint, and many other plants and herbs that are poison to all the other races.
