woohoo!
i just finished the absolute messiest worst outline ever, but it is an outline!
i guess technically this counts as a second draft outline? i outlined this chapter before, and it was more detailed and organized, I just didn't like the story. I like this story. I like this new outline better.

Just going to say this really quick so I can share my joy- my art is improving! Its damn improving! I saw sketchbooks from 3 years ago and all this time I genuinely thought I wasn't pushing myself enough, that I'd stunted somehow. But I'm getting better, so so much more better and it makes me so incredibly happy. My ability to draw forms and figures are up, especially with humanoids. Something I felt so frustrated with for so long.
I'm still training my skills, I don't think I'll ever stop, but to see growth at any point in the 11 years of drawing as been so satisfying.

When I tell you it took me days to complete this I'm not kidding. Most of that was cause I had no motivation tho.
Still, it's been a while since I've posted of my child Ahkylous, so here they are in their peak moment of rage :))

I was going to wait until I finished it to message you, but I'm so antsy!! I finally got around to rereading and finishing Cantata after starting it over a year ago (such an engaging and thoughtful work, I adore it), and ofc had to dive into the rest of Opus immediately after. I spent half of Opus white knuckled, HAD to know when sam and kaidan were finally going to let go, until it hit me like a truck that you werent going to let them have it until right before Alchera (you absolute DEVIL)
I'm always in it for the pining, its my favorite trope, and while I love the eventual admittance/happy ending, fics always lose me after the characters have their big romantic moment. But with the end of Sonata, you had me absolutely hooked!! Liara's account of the collector attack in Fugue is an absolute masterpiece. I was frozen, or on the verge of tears. Her realization that Kaidan would have sacrificed her and everyone on deck to save Sam was a lightning bolt. And watching Kaidan forced to leave Sam behind was HEARTBREAKING
All that to say I am so impressed in your ability to use your readers' knowledge of narrative events to build suspense. I haven't been able to put this story down. Can't wait to dive into ch4 later and watch Kaidan implode :')
(and If Horizon isnt addressed in Fugue, Ill be back later to beg you to write it)
What an amazing comment to get. Thank you. <3
I've often called Sonata the happiest sad story I've ever written, because the story itself is a blind source of joy until you pull your gaze back and realize where it sits in the timeline.
One of the really fascinating things about fanfic to me being able to depend on the reader already knowing what's going to happen and use it as a tool. Stories like Cantata, Sonata, and Fugue all scribble outside the canon lines, but part of what makes them work is that looming knowledge of what lurks around the next corner.
Which is why eight seconds after I contemplated whether Cantata was the kind of story you could file the serial numbers off off and publish, I decided it wasn't. Cantata depends on the reader knowing who Shepard becomes. The role he eventually plays. Without it, the foreshadowing falls flat and the story loses a lot of depth. Sonata becomes a completely different story when you realize how close it sits to Alchera. And the countdown clock on the second chapter of Fugue is like a slowly tightening noose because you know that happiness is about to come crashing down, and it's more awful because the characters have no idea.
I love, love, love that people are DYING to get to Horizon. Because you know it's coming. You know it's going to happen. It's fanfic, and you know how the canon story goes. Horizon is coming.
I can tell you this. It's going to be awful. Everything that could go wrong does go wrong. Everyone does the best they can with what they have, but everyone has different pieces, or the wrong pieces.
It's a clash of the inevitable, and no one is to blame, but that means there's nowhere to direct the anger, so it goes places it shouldn't, because it has to go somewhere.
It's awful. And I can't wait.

One of the most annoying parts of writing is knowing what you want to happen in a chapter but not knowing the best order to make those things happen in

I haven’t been able to draw much lately, but here’s a little doodle for somethin’ or other
When things aren’t feeling that great physically, I do some streaming of games on Twitch if you ever want to come hang out. (We’re still figuring out how things work so bear with us)

TPFFIB Pt 2: the characters minus Kite and the Dead King
Starting with Kite's friends, then the P.o.P Squad, then the smaller antagonist, and finally Lime & Candi
Tumblr media
The Og's (Kite's friends)
Odie: Odie can be best described as being in between a rock and hard place, for a lot of his life he was stuck being the unwilling spy for the Dragon King and was expected to be totally devoted and loyal to the Dragon King, and he was miserable for a long time, until he was chosen to represent dragons at a school that seeked to make Dragons, Griffins, Unicorns, and Sphinx's more united as a collective unit. Here he met Kite, Carlos, and Trix, and they all hit it off becoming great friends. He went from being an insecure and hesitant dragon, to being a more-confident and brave dragon.
Side note: Odie has a jack-bat-rabbit friend named Jupitar whose basically his best friend. Carlos: Carlos is probably the most innocent minded of the group, somewhat because he spent almost 95% of his childhood inside, with the other 5% being when went to parties or something like that. Regardless when he was picked to go to the integration school he was over the moon and was so excited, and rightfully so, Odie, Trix, and Kite were all kind to him and they all had fun together. Being Sphinx he also had the power to control sand, which meant he could use his powers to empress his friends and show off what he can do. He also the youngest in the group so he has an air nativity to him Trix: Trix is by far the thinker of the group, she's incredibly smart and socially strong. Also being a Unicorn she has a bit of magic up her sleeve, but she mostly just uses it for picking stuff up and blast attacks. Now, despite being otherwise great socially and academically, she is not super strong magic wise, despite white unicorns being believed to supposed to be the most magically inclined. Which doesn't apply to Trix, because of that Trix focused more on raw strength that house's and equines naturally have. Which makes comes off as the mom/leader of the group. Thanks in no part to her kindness, loyalty, and bravery. and we all know Kite, a pink griffin the only one in the group without any kind of special power. Though she is really fast, but so is every griffin.

Pongo the two-legged bat:
Tumblr media
Pongo originally came to Golden Glade after hearing about P.o.P and he saw it as a great opportunity to help people and show off his skill. So he moved and quickly was showered in admiration and acceptance from the creatures of Pactor, he also became friends with 2 other P.o.P cadets, Beat-Bop Bubble and Scratchy, Beat-Bop Bubble especially as the two of them were very supportive and loving of one another (mostly because they liked a lot of the same movies, and had a lot in common). As for Scratchy, while Pongo was somewhat scared of him, he still made a point to be nice and treat him the same as anyone else.
Tumblr media
(best drawing showing off their relationship :P)
Beat-Bop Bubble: Beat-Bop Bubble was born in Neon Night-Zone, a place in the ocean almost entirely populated by Synth-c-horses, magically inclined neon seahorse's who can channel energy and magic into power magic blasts, but they mostly either don't use it or do use it but for parties. Beat-Bop Bubble is no different, joining the military when he was old enough, but was transferred to Golden Glade because his government owed Ancient Feather a "favor" and chose the most promising cadet Beat-Bop Bubble to become part of P.o.P which he was semi-cool with until he figured that he wasn't be reassigned but rather that his people were forced to give up someone promising. While at P.o.P Beat-Bop Bubble would become great friends with Pongo and the two became almost inseparable. With them both even resigning from P.o.P later on together once learning the truth about Ancient Feathers. Leaving Kite, who was stuck with the protection of a city that lacked a government and ruler, and abandoning Scratchy who was now the only member of P.o.P left since Kite became a substitute leader and then resigning to be a detective to get closer with the people. When Beat-Bop Bubble and Pongo did go home, they were pleased as punch to find that the Jungle Pongo came from, and Neon Nigh-Zone were actually very close to each other, so they stayed close distance friends.
Scratchy: Scratchy is very scrappy, tuff, even mangy, and maybe a little feral. He's very protective of his friends and has no problem attack bad people or people who want to harm him or his friends. But no one really picks up on this because all they really see of him is a crazy killer robot, who might as well be in a zoo then on the battlefield. Pongo is nice to him though, which he dose appreciate. Later on when P.o.P is in shambles, Kite comes around to Scratchy and finally considers then recognizes Scratchy's loyalty and companionship. He still loves to thrash and tear people apart though, he even kills a giant manifestation of prejudice that was threatening to tear apart the people of Golden Glade (what a guy).
Ashes Elementa: The only other griffin Kite meets and who works for P.o.P, she is a walking mystery, the only thing Kite knows is that she's one of the 5 elemental griffins, with her being the elemental of fire, but that for some reason she's here and grumpy. While she dose hang out with the group outside of work, but she never really talks to anyone. (FUN FACT: Ashes is based off a very very old character I don't remeber the name of, who was basically an evil sun/fire griffin who wanted to roast the earth like rotisserie chicken), The only interest she has is writing songs, singing, and poetry. Which everyone learned on a night shift that they all pretended was a sleepover, when they shared interests.
Tumblr media
Finally, we have Ancient Feather herself, the myth, the wo-MAN, the legend.
Ancient Feather was the great protector of a city known as Pactor, and had protected it for many years alone. In her later years, she began to become frail and couldn’t keep up with her duties. Despite being immortal, she could still die from injuries, and her guardian magic could only keep her on the top of her game for so long. So, she decided to take new action, when the citizens of Pactor were ready to elect a new leader, Ancient Feather cancelled the election, informing the citizens that she would in fact be the leader of Pactor from that moment on, and reassured her people that she would not fall short of her people that there would no longer be a need for temporary leaders. Explaining that having watched over Pacotor and Golden Glade for as long as she has, she was the only reasonable choice, but said they could still have a council to run the small towns.
Her next course of action was to make a task force, an army of skilled fighters, medics, and guards to take her place. Soon she had created a nearly unstoppable army. Focused on one goal, to protect Pactor, and keep it strong. Just like Ancient Feather had for nearly 100 years.
But while she may have been the perfect ruler for pactor, at her core she was a controlling conniving conjurer, manipulating many, and starting wars just to gain more power. Or as she thought of it, making a better tomorrow for the people of Pactor, meanwhile the places conjured usually lost a lot of there resource to Pactor and were left to weak to rebel. Every conjured kingdom feed into Pactor and didn't get as much back as they were giving.
However, Ancient Feather would be greatly humbled by a kingdom that she greatly underestimated. The Quartet Kingdoms, a large kingdom comprised of four smaller kingdoms and territories each with one unique species each. The rulers of this kingdom, weren't about to be stepped on all over by some big ass immortal bird and her army. So they fought with everything they had, and after 9 days and nights of fighting, King Blitzen of the Unicorns, was given permission by the others to do something drastic and unforgiving: to curse Ancient Feather. He did just that, blasting Ancient feather with a spell powerful enough to strip Ancient Feather of all her guardian magic leaving her a powerless immortal, forcing her to flee, the four rulers and The Quartet Kingdom celebrated the defeat. Sealing Ancient Feathers powers to the kingdoms she conjured with them, so that her power may be used by the kingdoms to rebuild and get back on their feet.
AND THAT IS IT FOR TODAY, I'll do the villains next, and then one last post for Lime & Candi.

See he's mad at me now because I'm only half way done, SUCK IT UP SCRATCHY Jesus...
