Lu (and his siblings)don't get sick often, being molten rock inside makes it impossible to catch most physical illnesses. Though there are a few they could catch if they were around more Calorians/elementals. They do get lethargic in winter though. Magic/energy levels 1/3 #OCASK #VeilOfStarlight

Uh oh! Your original character has gotten sick! How is their immune system? Do they get sick easily, or are they very fit? How do they take care of themselves when they're ill? Do they get help? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

(Left this one in draft by accident) Lu likes talking to Sorrel, he thinks he's cute and he knows he's a decent guy based on how he treats his sister Nebula, who's trans and works closely with Sorrel. But he's cautious about labeling it more than just a 1/3 #SumLuv #VeilOfStarlight

Meet cutes don't have to be "cute"! They are a plot device 🧡 But! Let's talk about how they DO feel about each other early on! Is it fairytale love? Is it *lust* at first sight? Hate at first sight? All?? Snips here are welcome (always welcome if you want to answer anything with a snip) 🧡 #SumLuv

I liked that reading game so much I made a writing one to share around. 1 like = 1 answer. Please feel free to share this around, I made it myself and I would be happy to see it spread.

A woman could not have written Game of Thrones. I don't mean she wouldn't have been capable. I mean a woman writing about that much rape and incest wouldn't have been this globally revered as "realistic" and "dark" and would've instead been called a sexual deviant and her books fringe at best

when the ship has so much yearning i have to take a break because it feels like i’m holding my breath the whole time

If it's during the night, it's probably Lu and Sorrel. They likely went off somewhere for privacy and knocked something over. (At any age lol) I'm not worried. #AwesomeCharacters #VeilOfStarlight

I traumatize my characters for the plot. With my protagonists, it's either for the better or just because it'll make them more interesting 😬 For the antagonists it's what makes them worse. I often have protagonists and antagonists experience similar trauma to show it 1/3 #OCASK #VeilOfStarlight

What’s one question you’re tired of answering as a writer? If I have a book published. Not because someone wants to actually read it, but more so they can classify me as a “real” writer…or not #writingq #WritingCommunity

#SumLuv Okay so Mercy and Kenzō’s is terribly NSFW and not a classic one whatsoever (next posts, be mindful of CW). But on the topic of them: I think they're great! I very much like when a creator makes a terribly contrived one that somehow still lands as adorable. 🧵1/4

Stella would convincingly lie her ass off through the whole thing.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

I like Meet Cutes! It's not an obvious one from the outside, but internally both Lu and Sorrel are panicking about their attraction to each other. It doesn't help that it's during a physical exam while Lu is in the castle infirmary. I changed their initial meeting 1/3 #SumLuv #VeilOfStarlight

If Lu can get to sleep sober, he usually has normal or nice dreams. If he can't sleep and takes something to help with that, there's a 50/50 chance he'll either sleep fine or he'll have nightmares.

What does your original character dream about? Or are they more often nightmares? #OCASK #OCQOTD #OCSKY

Lu - "I'm not worth the trouble, I only hurt people I love." Sorrel - "I'm fine." Gabriel - "I did nothing wrong." These three lie to themselves more than anyone else, always a version of that. #WritingPrompt #VeilOfStarlight
