☾ SUMMARY ☽

Born without power in a land that covets nothing else, Shio Moravek has been outcasted and ostracized since the moment she was declared to be an illuni. "Moonless". One who can not manipulate the threads of reality to her will. Her position as the grand general's daughter provided her with protection, protection that vanishes in one night of bloodshed that will shake the foundation of her world to its hollow core— again.

i really do love those military jackets with embroidery that resembles a gilded ribcage they serve sooooooo much thanatological cunt it's unreal. the memento mori of it all. the bastardised martyrdom. the self-fulfilling prophecy of dressing yourself in silver and gold evoking the final, fragile shield between the most vital, vulnerable parts of you and annihilation, just to go to a place where the objective is to hack it to pieces as cruelly and efficiently as possible until you resemble nothing more than ground meat trodden into the dust you came from. fuck the military for real and forever but they went harder with horrifically ironic self-deceiving propaganda than anyone ever has or will. give it up for the old lie everyone!

Some small details for a character learning sword fighting for the first time:

- sore wrists

- blisters on hands

- every movement opens you up to be hit

- they will hit the tops of their arm and own sides with the sword while learning

- there is a primal sixth sense when you know you’re being toyed with

And, for your typically nonviolent characters.

You don’t aim for the swords. You aim for the person holding the sword.

It sounds so obvious but needs to be accepted. Actively. When holding a sword you have to understand you’re attacking another person. Even to block you have to aim your blocks at the other person or they won’t be strong enough to actually protect yourself.

I've chosen just a few characters I love and I'm splitting them into male characters, female characters and then I'll be posting a 'groups' collection at some point too.

“Wanna see something neat?” Sascha asked and before Nell could answer, he took a small dagger from a sheath in his vest and stabbed it into his left calf with a sudden, sharp cry. Nell half fell off the barrel she perched on. Shock gave way to panic as she whipped her head around, looking for something to quell the bleeding. “Hells– why?! Why would you–?!” Sascha pulled the knife free, the steel making a strange dull thunking sound against his leg as he did so. Nell stared at his pant leg– a pant leg absent of blood. With a grin, he reached down and rolled up the fabric to show the lacquered wood beneath. “No way,” Nell said, breathless, her heart rapid in her chest, “No way do you have a fuckin’ peg leg.” Sascha roared with laughter, half teetering off his own perch as his men joined in. They cackled like wild dogs, tears fresh in the seams of Sascha’s eyes even as he tried to catch his breath. “Stars above, you should have seen yourself!” Nell flushed, angry and embarrassed and deeply, utterly amused all at the same time. Damn this man. Damn this infuriatingly handsome, stupid, ridiculous man. Sascha dropped his pant leg and Nell shook her head, striding up close again. “Oh no, no. Show me. I wanna see this thing! You do this for all the girls who join your crew?” “Only the special ones,” Sascha mused, happy to roll up his pants to show Nell the entire device. It was a simple prosthetic that fit to his knee and fastened around his thigh to hold the wooden leg in place. He even tugged off his boot to show her the round, toeless foot at the end. It was worn and had more than a few knicks in it. “I got a fancy dancin’ leg for nights on the town, naturally. This is just one of my workin’ legs,” Sascha said, a grin plastered on his face.

Sascha is delightful and I am so happy he has joined the plot.

Progress Journal - 3/21/25

66k / 125k words

God I went to this seminar once for writing several years ago and one of the guest writers said some banger things.

  1. For every day you spend out of your 'world' it takes three to get back into the groove of writing in it.
  2. Farmers never apologize when they have to cancel plans to harvest their crops. Your words are ripe, you must harvest them.

The first one is self-explanatory. The second was said in the context of feeling guilty for being busy when you are "just writing". There is nothing "just" about it. Having that moment where you want to write and CAN write you should TAKE it.

63k/125k words editted

I have a few new ideas rattling around in my brain. I did just finish outlining the last bit of epyllion tonight too because whenever I play with other projects I inevitably go back to my main wip.

Im both excited for and kinda scared for when I need to start planning book 2. I have a pretty solid idea of what is going to happen, just need to lock down a few plot specifics.

Anyway if you wanna hear about my two other ideas I am rambling under the cut.
