whole hog: henry sinclair

Time for the man, the myth, the legend...

Henry is the protag of my novel, read it here

✨- How did you come up with the OC’s name?

There's nothing behind this name at all. It sounded both bougie and old timey American, which I was going for due to him originally being from New England.

🌼 - How old are they? (Or approximate age range)

Henry starts off Dream Quest at 14, and turns 15 at some point during the story. Like Cherise and Neville, he will continue to age as the stories go on and be in his 20s in the final arc

🌺- Do they have any love interest(s)?

Henry's primary love interest is Ayane, the dream spirit/tulpa of a popular fictional character he brought home from the Dreamlands. However they aren't going to get together just yet; he'll date a couple other girls before they come to terms with their feelings.

🍕 - What is their favorite food?

Chicken parmesan for dinner, baklava and black coffee for dessert

💼 - What do they do for a living?

Henry is a student at the current age. His family is too affluent for him to have to work for a living. The trajectory of his life is such that he will likely either join the magic council of San Francisco or be shipped off to Greece to apprentice under his "grandfather," really his immortal ancestor Lelantos. However, most likely, he will not do any of that.

🎹 - Do they have any hobbies?

Henry loves to read heavy tomes, usually fantasy novels if they aren't arcane grimoires.

🎯 -What do they do best?

Henry's greatest talent as a practitioner is to alter the shape and properties of earthen materials. He can make stone and metal soft and spongy on contact or shape it with his hands, which he is quite good at.

🥊 -What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?

Henry loves to sing, and will probably lean more into music as an escape after returning him. He is starting to learn that he hates being told what do do and will soon enter his rebellious phase.

❤️ - What is one of your OC’s best memories?

We explore it in the dream quest novel! He remembers going to the beach as a toddler with his mother. This is one of his last memories of her before she died.

✂️ - What is one of your OC’s worst memories?

Probably what came right after the last one, being told that she had died. I have not fleshed out the details of that incident however.

🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

Like Neville, he underwent a latinization lmao. He was originally a pasty white boy and is now mixed white/afro-latino. I think of this era as the "punished Henry" design since he has grown his hair out long and lost his arm, which were both absent originally.

🍀 - What originally inspired the OC?

the deep lore is that he was based on a big name fan's homestuck fankid. I don't remember either of their names. Just know that someone else made up a black haired child with a big blue coat who was interested in the occult.

🌂 - What genre do they belong in?

Seeing as he was raised among magic with it as his birthright, and is in the process of becoming even more magical, he could only ever be a fantasy character. He would probably do well in one of those political fantasies about warring houses though, mind you.

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

Henry is cis and bisexual. I know I said he mostly dates girls back there, but he will show interest in at least a couple boys at one point.

🙌 - How many sibling does your OC have?

Henry has no siblings. He does however have a younger cousin, Ruby, with whom he has been raised, and they see each other as siblings.

🍎 - What is the OC’s relationship w/their parents like?

Henry really wishes they were still alive. He instead is being raised by his aunt. She is a cold woman and difficult to please, but can be loving now and then. He is starting to distrust her, however.

🧠 - What do you like most about the OC?

He just has a certain je ne sais quo...

✏️ - How often do you draw/write about the OC?

There was a period where I didn't talk about him at all because I was unsatisfied with his original introduction and wanted to write a new one. Then when that was done I never shut up about him.

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

If Henry dies he will simply hatch out of the corpse like a cicada.

💀 - Does your OC have any phobias?

Surprisingly no.

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

For nemeses he has his evil genderbent doppelganger from the mirror dimension, Leila. I suppose they could also be construed as rivals due to being in the same age range and having similar abilities. literal foils and such. He is also going to come to hate his grandfather.

🎓 - How long have you had the OC?

November of 2013. I remember because it was a NaNo project.

🍥 - What age were you when you created the OC?

21...

Do you have any stand out published romances you’ve read? I’m in a reading slump and I always have a hard time finding a book for the same reasons you just mentioned

Do we count @stargazingfangirl18 published Necessary Arrangements? 😅

Because when it comes to romances, just simple usual modern romances alone, I think I have nothing.

I like the Masters of The Shadowlands series by Cherise Sinclair in terms of bdsm romance. It's quite good when it comes to variety of submissives and Doms (in terms of looks, stories, experiences) and quite good in depicting bdsm itself.

I love fantasy romance Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh. Arrogant powerful archangels, sexy vampires, badass hunters. What I like about these series is that there's actual relationship and character development through the following books? Like the main archangel is an entitled prick, but the heroine actually calls him out on it many times and he changes his actions. They both put work into the relationship and into themselves. The same goes for other characters (everyone gets their own book in the series) - there's development and growth, not just the heroines settling for who the men are.

I quite liked Scandalous Games by Simran (not perfect, but didn't put me off), but I will admit that I am more interested in book two - Hateful Games in the Arranged Game series, which is to be released in May.

It's hard for an educated woman to turn her head off. That's part of the joy of being a submissive. None of the decisions are yours. When you can't refuse anything and can't even move, those voices in your head go silent. All you can do, and all you are permitted to do, is feel.

Mi piacciono i FORSE ahah E per la seconda domanda, sì, sono sempre io :) Allora, sì, la tipa scrive femdom e l'ultimo uscito è con un sick sub. E no, non ho letto nulla di lei anche se le trame m'intrigano. Ecco perché chiedevo: la tua lista mi sta aiutando molto a trovare letture interessanti e quindi mi sono detta "chissà se Alex conosce questa autrice". Grazie mille per le risposte e, buona scrittura <3

Direi che dopo un anno quella lista può avere un sequel, perché ho aggiunto altri titoli in wishlist e ne ho letti un paio! Giacché c'ero, ne ho approfittato anche per indicare quelli della vecchia lista che ho letto nel frattempo, se vuoi andare a recuperartela ;)

Letti e piaciuti

Curio The Complete Series di Cara McKenna, che non è propriamente Femdom, ma la protagonista va da un gigolò per avere le sue prime esperienze s3ssuali e nelle novelle successive esplorano vari aspetti del loro rapporto e c'è una parte più Femdom, comprensiva di p3gging. Ho scritto una lunga recensione, se vuoi più dettagli!

Pleasure and Purpose di Megan Hart, che è un fantasy erotico composto da tre racconti: il primo è decisamente Maledom/femsub, ma il secondo già è più sfumato come dinamica (il protagonista maschile domina a mo' di principino viziato che è) e il terzo è puramente Femdom. Storie davvero meravigliose, il worldbuilding mi è piaciuto molto!

The Gargoyle's Captive di Katee Robert, fantasy romance in cui nonostante l'asta in cui la protagonista femminile viene "acquistata" dal protagonista maschile, c'è una bella dinamica enemies-to-lovers e Femdom (per quanto solo a letto).

Saving Suzy di Stefanie Simpson, questo è più romance erotico e devo dire che la parte romance non mi ha coinvolta molto, ma il Femdom è abbastanza vario e con praticità che non si vedono spesso.

If She Says Yes di Tasha L. Harrison, è anche age gap in cui è lei quella più grande (la madre del migliore amico di lui!) e c'è un percorso molto bello di riscoperta di sé dopo la morte del marito e soprattutto in una posizione più dominante.

Bonus: non è Femdom (se non nella novella extra), ma Release di Suzanne Clay è stata una lettura meravigliosa che consiglio vivamente!

Abbandonati

I'll Do Anything di Daisy Jane, è un bully romance con Femdom... almeno così promette. Mi aspettavo una bella storia di vendetta che si trasforma in amore, ma alla fine c'è molto angst per il 40% e quando inizia il Femdom è così concentrato su di lui (c'è una c0ck cage, ci speravo!) e poco su di lei. L'ho messo in pausa due settimane e quando l'ho ripreso ho detto "nope" così forte che l'ho abbandonato. Ho altri libri della stessa autrice già acquistati in sconto e quindi li leggerò, nella speranza che siano migliori.

Ancora da leggere

Unbound di Cara McKenna

Love and Pretence di Stefanie Simpson

The Only One di Daisy Jane

Cohen's Control di Daisy Jane

Soul of a Witch di Harley LaRoux (mi dà vibes fortissime Femdom, ma non ricordo se l'autorə ha confermato)

Surrendering to Scylla di Wren K. Morris (monster romance, lei è il mostro! E mi pare proprio sia Femdom)

In wishlist

Bound to Me di Katie Ashley

Servicing the Target di Cherise Sinclair

Femdom Tales di Lola Bowie (3 racconti)

Crossing the Line di Megan Hart

Wanna Be Yours/Voglio essere tuo di Megan Hart

Vanilla di Megan Hart (la protagonista è una Femdom, ma non ho capito bene se poi "coinvolge" il protagonista maschile)

Beg For It di Megan Hart

Sanctuary di Rebekah Weatherspoon

The Devil's Doorbell di AA.VV. (raccolta di racconti erotici tra cui ce ne sono forse un paio con del Femdom, dalle recensioni che ho letto)

Stray di Daisy Jane

Crystals and Contracts di A.A. Fairview (è esplicitato che il protagonista maschile è sub, almeno)

Bind Me di Esme Taylor

Prelude to Hope di Stefanie Simpson

Mutual Beginnings di Stefanie Simpson

Neon Hearts di Stefanie Simpson

Lay Me Down in Ivy di Stefanie Simpson

Maneater di Emily Antoinette

Power Play di Charlotte Stein (mi sembra di aver capito sia Femdom, da confermare)

Direi che ti ho dato parecchio da spulciare :D

(Lato scrittura posso dirti: con il fill non sto andando avanti al momento, ma sto lavorando alla revisione di una novella MMF k1nky che voglio pubblicare quest'anno 😬 Poi, la fine del fest è lontana, vediamo come vanno le cose...)
