Since this ask I received where I talked about Laila and Darius' love languages got me thinking about how words of affirmation is very clearly Darius' I decided to go back and pull out some receipts for example:
CLAIMS TO BE LOYAL TO THE END. BITES THE HAND ANYWAY.
GETS BITTEN. CONTINUES TO HOLD OUT A TENDER HAND (IN ITS PALM A SOFT AND LOVING HEART) NONETHELESS.

LITTLE BACKSTORY
It’s funny, because this story idea was my first attempt to do something fairytale-esque, fantasy thing as still a baby writer. It’s at least three or more years old lol. There are pretty vague stuff about them, because I never get to work them out. But I’ll try to write about everything I remember.
The whole idea came from Barns Courtney’s Glitter & Gold song and that I got into Carl Jung and the archetypes in storytelling. To sum up the story, it was about a girl, who discovers this secret Valley with seven kingdoms and in every kingdom, there is a very flawed king; based on what’s their archetype’s weakness and desire.
This one was where the king got The Jester archetype. The concept was that, the kingdoms would fully represent the king’s flaws, so this one seems like the most joyous, happy and beautiful place, but in reality, everything is swallow and fake. This kingdom is basically poor, because the king always spent all the fortune on making everything look nice, even though there was no actual value in most of it or to make pricey festivals etc. He wants to live in the moment, but because of his overdoing in this, he and his kingdom has no future basically. He doesn’t think upon things.
This place is the complete opposite of the above. Which is why it’s very fun that you chose these two, hehe. This palce’s king was The Magician. A tough, cold person, who wanted to create order from the chaos and bend the world to his will. But at least his kingdom. And he did. This palce could be the textbook description of order. There’s not a hint of creativity or mess or anything like that here. They also almost the only kingdom that has a working military or a military at all. But, this isn’t make people happy in this place as you may guessed, though. I actually played with the idea that people need to literally bottle their emotions here to stay logical and ordered. So, they might have like emotion keeper chambers with full of bottled emotions and there would be a holiday that literally just one they when people could choose one emotion they want to have back for a short while. Or when it’s their birthday. Or they need to ask permission from the king to have back some. I don’t know, it was a very vague thing. But yeah, the king here would be a hubris, cold man, with all of his emotions bottled, even though most of the folk only bottle one or two emotions that would distract them to keep the order. Something like that.

Hello Jess and happy STS! Today I'm asking a question about editing: Once you're done with a first draft, what's your editing process (timeline, software, other writer/reader feedback, etc.)?
Ahhhhh hello!!!!!! Thank you so much for the ask!!! You always ask such good questions!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So probably my number one vice in writing is that I edit as I write DESPITE MY BEST INTENTIONS NOT TO!! At best, I’ll write a few paragraphs or even pages, and then when I feel like the creativity runs out, I’ll edit it to death. I tell myself that I’m just rereading to get a “running start” on the next part to write, but I just end up obsessing over the wording or what characters should say. It slows down my writing process massively and I’m trying to break the habit.
The “good” part of that, is when I finish a draft, the editing process goes pretty quickly since I guess any super egregious mistake early on! I’ll take a break for a least a day, if not more, and then go back to the completed piece, make any revisions, and then I typically show my work to a beta reader (typically my sister lol, especially if it is a piece that she liked the idea of, or if it’s fic from a fandom she also loves). After I get notes from her, I’ll do last rounds of edits, then publish if that was my ultimate intention for the piece (most of my stuff I just keep on a private writing blog. Writing is mostly a hobby for me; I want to get better at it for my own happiness, though a fully published novel is definitely a dream!). :D
Currently I use Google Docs purely because it’s easy to access on my laptop, PC, and (if I randomly get inspo in the middle of the night), my phone. I definitely want to try something new in the future, but for now, it’s what I use even if the formatting gets really weird at times.
I wanted to gather these all in one place so I can keep track of them. I’ll be adding a link to my pinned post for easy access. Enjoy!

Thanks to @whimsyqueen, @paradisiacalshroud, and whoever else has tagged me for this game in the last few weeks. 😂 I've been wanting to do it but have been otherwise consumed.
Here we gooooo! Doing this for the Second Serpent crew.
Rules: list your OCs as “tens but” giving us a not at all comprehensive view of their characters.
Seung Kim is a ten, but she has enough baggage to weigh down at least three elephants.
Ehren Schmidt is a ten, but he always makes you decide on where to go for dinner. "I'm not picky," he says. Sheesh.
Egon Schmidt is a ten, but you'll never beat him at arm wrestling. He won't even give you a pity win. Then he'll rub it in your face.
Eckehart Schmidt is a ten, but he rants about jazz composition and wax philosophical whenever he gets drunk.
Martin Hightower is a ten, but he has everything dry-cleaned. EVERYTHING.
Dimitri Sokolov is a ten, but he always gives you the most judgemental side-eye whenever you set down a cold drink without a coaster.
Rowan Faraday is a ten, but she'll drunk call you at 3 AM on a Wednesday demanding McDonalds be brought to her immediately.
Franklin Belks is a ten, but always has at least one complaint about every movie you see together.
Lavanya Bhakti is a ten, but she talks about death, like, a lot.
Rhen is a ten, but she's a space cadet and will absolutely forget the names of all of your friends.
Antoni Nowak is a ten, but he has a very disturbing book collection.
Kainnon is a ten, but you'll have to carry every conversation you have. This boy ain't exactly, uhm, vocal.
Dick Soloman is a ten, but he's a workaholic and insists that you never, ever step foot in his basement office. (Omg run away while you still can.)
EDIT: I almost forgot to tag! No pressure to @flowerprose, @athenixrose, @dgwriteblr, @jess-p-edits, and @thethistlegirl.
