theologically it makes sense to me to start this timeline with the big bang, but narratively....

i think i need to make the timeline more human centric...

#ghost.txt #fic: godsverse au #for a story that so far has less than ten human characters #compared to a cast of #over 100 non human characters.... #humans being around in the background is kind of important

Keeping data organized and up to date for this au is so tiring. There's just. So much.

one of the v. important things the movies missed about ron is just like, how down to fight he was at all times. like not even duel just he was always ready to physically beat the shit out of people who insulted his family or friends and WOULD if no one stopped him.

there are so many points in the books where its just casually dropped in ‘and so Harry and/or Hermione had to physically restrain Ron’ usually from Malfoy but if Harry or Hermione weren’t paying attention it became ‘and so Ron punched Malfoy in the face’. 

Like, Ron cursing Malfoy for calling Hermione Mudblood wasnt just a one off thing like every time he did that in the future when Ron was there it was like ‘ron had to be stopped from ending Malfoy’s life’ just thrown in there. Same for any other severe insults.

My absolute favorite instance of this is in the first book when they’re just watching a Quidditch game and Malfoy just starts bothering Ron and Hermione during it and is finally like ‘man its pretty funny how the Gryffindor quidditch team is recruited based on pity like y’know Potter has no parents, Weasley’s brothers have no money they should include Longbottom for having no brains” and Ron just flings himself at Malfoy and starts punching him and rolling around under the bleachers and Neville is like “uh shit i guess i better fight CRABBE AND GOYLE BOTH AT ONCE so they don’t go after him” (very underrated moment of courage from Neville he knew he had no chance but he just went for it honestly almost more impressive than confronting Voldemort in book 7)

and they’re just fighting for like twenty minutes and Hermione doesn’t even notice because she was so focused on tuning Malfoy out and watching the game and when its over she looks around like “where’d ron go” and then later its mentioned “Harry sees Ron and his face is covered in blood and he’s like “GOOD JOB WINNING THE GAME HARRY I GAVE MALFOY A BLACK EYE SO WE BOTH DID GREAT THINGS TONIGHT oh btw i have detention for a week and neville’s unconcious but they say he’ll be fine”.

Ron is ride or die and will fight u for $0 y’all

I am really conflicted about how long it should take for a god in this au to become an adult.

Especially since demigods (often children of a god and a human) are a thing in this au.

bc whatever way I go that sounds miserable for at least one parent.

Either the mortal parent has to deal with a baby that stays a baby for like a decade and they know they will never be able to live long enough to see their kid reach adulthood or the immortal parent has to deal with their kid growing up so fast it basically feels like nothing bc really to a being that is possibly 50,000 years old, or older, 18 years is going to feel like nothing.

#i dont wanna make this decision #ghost.txt #ghost whines #writing woes #i can keep putting it off for now but eventually i am going to have to figure it out #fic: godsverse au

Thinking about how my mom tried to “seduce” my dad when they were in college together by sneaking oranges into his backpack, because she grew up food insecure and feeding someone/sharing food was a big deal with her upbringing with a lot of emotional meaning–

and meanwhile my poor dad is just convinced that he’s been haunted by some citrus poltergeist because why the fuck are there always oranges in his bag he swears he did not put there???

I gotta find some way to stop being so disabled and get a job before I get this Gods & Goddesses AU written bc i want to commission /so much/ art for it so i gotta figure out a way to afford all that

#ghost.txt #lmao #definitely not bc i need money in general #just for the fic art commissions #/joking #/light hearted #fic: godsverse au #maybe if i can get it written before posting it #which is currently the goal #I'll start a patreon or something to try to afford art to go with it #but thats a long ways off still #there is so much worldbuilding/planning going into this

I need to figure out what Neil is going to be the god of.

I don't think I want it to be anything like, overtly evil or malicious but more something along the lines of something good/neutral that can be bad when taken to an extreme or something good/neutral that can be used as a tool for bad purposes.

#hmmm.... #ghost.txt #neil hargrove #fic: godsverse au #neil is also like #a pretty minor god #so his domain needs to be fairly unimportant and or narrow

Characters being compared to dogs always use terriers or pitbulls or something for their metaphors. “They grab on and they don’t let go” “They keep worrying at it until it’s dead” etc.

Anyway, I want to see collies used as metaphors. Albert Payson Terhune style. “He was like an attack dog–making slash-and-run attacks, cutting them up worse every time, never staying in range long enough to get hurt but circling back over and over.”

I am having trouble working out what Max's domains are going to be in this gods and goddesses AU

#i know what category her main one is under #and have some ideas about the specifics of that one #but she needs more than that and... #im kind of at a loss for what else to do #pretty much anything could go with her main domain... #but maybe? some sort of animal related domain might? be a little more in line with it? #maybe i should rewatch some max scenes #maybe that would help #ghost.txt #max mayfield #fic: godsverse au
