yesterday, I posted about how I don't like certain ways paul danos riddler (aka Edward nashton) is characterized in some fanfics. So I'm gonna share some things I do like and some of the ways I write him (in my drafts because I can't write an ending L)

1) I really like it when people write Edward trying to better himself and failing. Like I co-wrote this fic for my friend (idk if she ever published it), and I wrote in that in Edward's apartment subtle signs of this. Self-help books with torn pages, those therapy CD sets. Notes of affirmation stuck to walls. All being visibly neglected or partially destroyed.

Something I find so engaging with Edwards character (from the comics and the movie) is that he tried for a very long time to fit in with day to day society, tried to be normal. Because he believed that is what would satisfy him. And yet he is miserable in his day to day life . Only ever becoming some semblance of happiness when he's formulating his plan & persona . Becoming the riddler if you will.

2) I like it when authors pair Edward with reader insert/oc that is as Cynical as Edward. Don't get me wrong, the whole beam of positivity over Ed's Metaphorical Storm Cloud is adorable, and I enjoy that too. But I'm a hater born and raised, and there's nothing that makes me love someone more than hating together. There is also a nice romantic nuance to that dynamic. Edward has given up on the city, MC has also given up on the city, and he wants to make better not just for himself now but for them. Of course, in a really twisted way, but it's the thought that counts.

3) I like when people actively write the mental gymnastics Edward takes to blame Bruce Wayne for his childhood. I don't want to just read, "I hate Bruce Wayne he ruined my life." I want to read the jelousey turn to envy, envy turn to resentment. Resentment turn to fury.

I'll probably make more of these. Also, if you have any suggestions, I sincerely would love to hear them.

#dano riddler #edward nashton #paul dano #riddler #the batman 2022 #the riddler #fancition #adding this in the tags so no one takes it / srs #ed would totally have a fantasy of being cucked by batman #i have so many wips #writing advice????

30 Days of NaNoWriMo: WIP Introduction

Working Title: A War of Hearts

Word goal: 90,000 words (The first 50,000 for Nano)

Summary:

The kingdoms of Davash and Syvahl have been at war for decades, exhausting both countries to the point of a mutual truce. To solidify this peace, the eldest children of the two kings will marry. Though, the Prince finds himself quickly falling for his betrothed's sister. His brother sets his eyes on her as well, and thus begins the war of hearts which may be more deadly than any war fought with sword and shield.

To curse an angel - the Map to Neith

... Featuring my awful handwriting. (The red dots are all small towns/villages!)

Important points of interest:

Pherahet and Pher Forest: Pherahet is the city where Naeth lives and studies, and its forest of white trees is the key to understanding the Curse destroying the world, because it was once witness to a terrible, terrible deed.

Umbra: the mountain village in which Anaichi is currently hiding and which he loves very much. He would do anything to protect it, but its people are already under surveillance for being pro-spirits, and danger awaits...

Athr: Umaen's city. Everybody low-key has a crush on him, which gives him a little bit of leeway for his illicit activities. It is also the first city that will suffer the effects of the Curse and the first to betray the Leader Lord for Umaen's cause.

Ydae: the demonic Capitol City. It's where more than half the cast lives (Yareina, Telae, Sasher...) and the seat of the government. Surrounded by a system of canals and a fortified wall, it's very difficult to attack.

Umaen and Naeth's secret house! Hidden in the middle of the woods by the border, it's the best-kept secret of the land! Nobody knows about it -except for all of all our beloved characters. And there's more! It's very conveniently located on top of the ruins of a sunken angelic city! Who knew?

“Make me a god,” she pleaded. It did not matter if she was driven by despair. “You think you're worth bending the rules for?” He rasped, tracing the contour of her color-drained – to his observation, beautiful – face with the back of his finger. "...Worthy to become a god?"

NaNoWriMo WIP RE-Intro:

Lights of Abahd

Genre: YA, fantasy, adventure

Themes: magic, violence, politics, lgbtq+, spiritualism, mythology

Goal: 50,000 words (personal challenge: 75,000)

Status: Outlining/Second Draft

Synopsis: The Arch Mage of Thar’bon is seen as the most powerful mage in the kingdom. Leading the High Council and the Order of Mages, they are tasked with the safety of every citizen in the kingdom, and keeping order between the Great Houses. Always the head of the legendary mage family, House Abahd, members of their family have a monumental reputation to support.

Grandsons of the current Arch Mage, Aranthol and Alameric, have those same high expectations on them. Upon coming of age, the dutiful Aran, and reckless Meric, are inducted into the illustrious Order of Mages. Passing their trials, they are assigned to the same squad of mages, led by elder brother, Aran.

It’s a turbulent time in Thar’bon. The Crown Prince struck down in his prime. Crime at an all time high in the capitol, and numbers are low in the Order. As their squad is tasked with investigating thefts at important magical sites throughout the kingdom, a string of gruesome attacks strikes the Great Houses of Thar’bon. The Abahd brothers must put their differences aside and come together to forge their own destinies, and save Thar’bon.

“Lights of Abahd” is a magical story of two brothers trying to find their place in a magical world where their purpose seems predestined. Join Aran and Meric as they navigate this magical world and fight to defend their people.

~~~~

Main Characters

Aranthol “Aran” Abahd of Cauthuun, 19 - Light Magic/Battle Mage

“Our family needs us, why can’t you see that, brother? They need to us to be strong, not for them, not forselves, but for the Kingdom; for our people. Everything we are is because of this family .”

As the elder brother, Aran is seen as the future of the Abahd Family. Responsible and stoic, but a fierce combatant, his natural aptitude for magic and skill in battle make him a excellent new addition for the Order of Mages, and future successor to the hereditary title of Arch Mage…but is that where his heart is?

Alameric “Meric” Abahd of Cauthuun, 18 - Eye Magic & Empath/Support Mage

“My path is my own. I will forge my own destiny, one where I put myself first, not my surname. Who do they think I am? My father? My brother? Never.”

Meric is only a year younger than his brother, and the black sheep of his family. He’s a free spirit, with a wicked mind and sharp tongue, with more skill than he shows. But being the younger, rebellious grandson of the Arch Mage isn’t good for the family image…but what does he care?

Adolphia “Doll” Seran of Vyrth, 18 - Blade/Portal Magic & Empath/Battle Mage

“We of House Seran don’t cower behind our fathers’ name or position.”

Adolphia is the over-achieving daughter of the Head of House Seran. Heir to her mother’s seat, she has worked hard to prove her worth to her mother, and the rest of the kingdom, and there is little that she will let stand in her way.

Emon, 20 - Necromancer/Rogue Mage

“Necromancy is an art, just like yours. I was born with my magic, it’s branded on me like—like your name. Without your magic, you have your Houses. Without my magic? I am nothing.”

Mysterious and aloof, Emon works as a thief and professional grave robber. His ability to summon the dead and reanimate corpses makes him a powerful mage, but it’s his wicked mind and ruthlessness that make him a sinister foe.

Sana Slumstotter, 18 - Nature Magic & Healer/Support Mage

“You choose who you are. I don’t mean shape-shifting; who you really are, where you go, the life you lead. No one else should make that decision for you.”

Sana, born a little boy to a peasant woman in a slum of Thar’bon known as Grimebay, new who she really was from a young age. With no formal last name or training, Sana uses her skills as a healer and influence over nature to be inducted into the Order.

Ilerion DeClare, 18 - Time Magic/Battle Mage

"Underestimate me again and I'll shove your words back in your highborn mouth."

Born into a mediocre house from the highlands, Ilerion is determined to make something of himself. His goal is to ascend the ranks of the order, and gain his house greater status and glory.

————————————————————-

fantasy romance wip, a project by @writingmoth

yes i still dont have a title for this

His sharp intake of breath yanks Rowan from his thoughts. The god’s mouth is full of too many sharp teeth, his now gray eyes shimmering with a cold, devouring anger that sends a shiver of fear down Rowan’s spine. The blood staining his black shirt is too dark to be red, the crimson arrow buried deep into his shoulder. Rowan’s arrow.

Thirteen years ago, the god of the forest saved Rowan's life.

The world has been wrong ever since.

The Marrow is rotting. It's been rotting for a long time, as is the rest of the world, but now the signs are intensifying, the cracks starting to show: flowers that never bloom, fruits that burst open to reveal hollow cores, cattle that are born too weak to survive to adulthood. Even the village's small houses are buckling under their own weight, the wood soft and feeble to the touch.

Some say it's his fault. He made a mistake and the fey claimed him as theirs, but the god of the forest plucked him from their fingers, giving him a second chance at life. Except his family is now destroyed, the village is dying and the god themselves is barely seen anymore, their once constant, distant presence a vacancy that echoes and aches.

Some say it's the god's fault. What the first forest is owed can't be denied, they say, not even by their lord.

They are all wrong. Rowan doesn't belong to anyone - not to the fey who claimed him, not to the god who saved him, much less to the villagers who now deem him cursed. But when animals turn up mauled and the very earth cracks open under their feet, Rowan knows he must do something to save his home.

His investigation leads to an unlikely alliance with the very god who saved his life - and couldn't care less that they did. Through them, Rowan is forced to see the Marrow, the first forest and the night that almost doomed him through new eyes; there are secrets hidden deep beneath the Marrow's bones, promises made in blood still remembered in the branches of the first forest's monstrous trees, vows that should never have been broken etched into flesh, iron and wood, bonds that even now refuse to disappear. Debts that still need to be paid.

Some things should never be allowed to fester.

details — third person limited pov (rowan's) / present tense / romance, fantasy, a touch of horror and thriller. / themes: isolation, dealing (or not) with grief, loneliness, being a monster, being human, strength in community, fear of the unknown, the importance of platonic relationships, vows, promises, secrets, self-determination, change. / target word count: 80k-100k. / adult / cw: death, violence, light body horror, memory loss, some gore. / prepping & drafting (at the same time bc i fear no god) / gray ace/aro & bi mc, nonbinary li, bi side character. / aromantic undertones because i can't be stopped / queer romance

notes — i'm attempting nano this year with fantasy romance wip, though my goal is only 20k. i'm not rushing this story but i do want to get something done / i'm kind of pantsing this so who knows what might change / i will find it a title i swear

My Nanowrimo project this year is just a rewrite of the same story I was writing last year, which is... hard to explain, kind of!

It takes place in an industrial-era, vaguely-fantasy-steampunk setting (taking very loose inspiration from 19th-20th century Central & West Asia) in the midst of widespread political change.

The protagonist is an amnesiac vampire named Ara, who is traveling across the continent by hopping trains in order to get his old journals & some lost memories back. He gets stuck at the border, where he meets an academic who offers to employ him while studying his case—but what Ara learns from the people he meets here raises more questions about his past than answers, and he has to choose between continuing his journey or staying long enough to unravel the truth. (I need to figure out a less vague way to describe this plot but there's like. a lot going on lol!)

Worldbuilding for this project has been so interesting because Ara is experiencing a lot of the world for the first time in his memory, so he has this outsider perspective on recent developments that everyone else takes for granted. Like, all the recent industrialization and urbanization and mass migration and the creation of nation-states with policed borders are all normal for the people he interacts with, but the notes he has (dating from decades earlier) depict a completely different world and he doesn't know how to navigate or make sense of any of it.

It also has me thinking a lot about how a predominately human world would impact nonhumans in a political sense. There are elves here who live in remote rural locations now suddenly contending with border police in their territories, and the reality that humans have claimed every bit of land as theirs; nomadic vampires who have never had or needed documentation in their lives suddenly unable to travel legally between the places they split their time. Fantasy racism is like, broadly very corny but it stands to reason that a world with a human majority would end up trampling on nonhuman minorities as their states scramble for power and wealth so... I'm trying to do this in a way that is actually thoughtful and not corny but we'll see!

Anyway this kind of turned into a rambling infodump but I wanna post about this project more, so I'm resisting the urge to stay silent until I have a clean and pretty intro post lol. I'm making it a vague goal to post regular updates (with excerpts maybe??) all month so hopefully y'all will learn more soon!

#nanowrimo 2021 #and also #nanowrimo 2022 #i feel like this is just a. series of run on sentences but maybe thats ok #i really need to title this thing.....#wip #writeblr #writblr #writers on tumblr #queer fantasy #writeblr community #lgbt fantasy #my writing

Main Characters | SoK: The Calling

Hello everyone, welcome to another post for @weaver-of-fantasies-and-fables and I’s wip “Shadows of Kaykoura” -it’s time to meet our four protagonists!^^

Inaid (she/her)

Inaid is a young Yemahe elf and a Lemareth (a Hunter of Shver) who’s gone solo -and she’s painfully good at her job; among the Shver people, sure enough, she is known as the Shadow elf because of her ability to summon and wield the Kaykoura’s shadows, although her inability to disperse them renders her more dangerous than a wild fire.

Stern, honest and duty-focused, she has been burning with rage for years, especially because of her brother’s (the now Hunter in Chief) cowardice -as she likes to call it- and, in fact, she hasn’t talked to him in a very long time.

She was sent to spy on Jahdi. Personal song: Boulevard of broken dreams (Green Days)

Jahdi (she/her)

In truth, nobody knows what Jahdi is -creepy, odd, and with the power of Life and Death, she’s less a normal elf than a local deity - her life is spent in isolation with a close circle of trusted friends and collaborators, yet her time is dedicated to research.

Raised by Kyragh, a parent to her in everything but blood, she is a poison to their curse, and that’s why she has left: to save them from herself and to find a cure in the process.

Although people might pray to her and call her Mihat -Life- she is lonely, bitter, yet resourceful and loyal to the point of abnegation.

Personal song: October Birds (Flower Face)

Kyragh (they/them)

Kyragh is the king of the Shver, Kohashi’s husband, Jahdi’s father and Haramihat’s greates enemy. Their title comes from their age -they are so ancient they remember (or used to remember) the time when Kaykoura still walked the earth. In truth, they used to be her pupil.

Before their mind was shattered by the curse that hangs on every Shver’s head, they were a warrior and a strategist, resolved to bring justice to their people by claiming back the knowledge the Yemahe are gatekeeping. Even better if they found a handsome Hunter on the way -ore, even more, if said elf was happy to raise Kyragh’s mother-orphaned toddler in the meanwhile.

They appear as tenacious, terrifying and capricious, and they are each one of these things, and more.

Personal song: Viva la vida (Coldplay)

Kohashi (he/him)

The blood of the Hunters runs thick in Kohashi’s vein -his family used to fight the Shver, and the title of Hunter in Chief passed to him, the best warrior between Kaykoura’s ranks. He could not, however, avoid questioning the purpose of his mission.

When Kyragh kinapped Jahdi, Kohashi was sent after them in an attempt to take her back, but instead of finding an enemy, in the King of the Shver he found a friend -a friend to spy on, but a friend nevertheless. And, even before Kaykoura did, he switched his loyalties.

Now he’s Kyragh’s consort (and their sole path to sanity) and the Shver’s only weapon against the Shadow elf, but when he’s not busy kicking her ass, he likes to cook and feed his family the spicy Lemareth cousine.

Personal song: Absolution (The pretty reckless)
