PREMISE
In the enigmatic city of Ojuwele, ruled by seven governors of the Convocation, the capital jewel Miamene and its sinister twin city Glaro, stand as the contrasting pillars where power, corruption, and technology converge in shadowy abundance. Daran Adami, a young high-ranking officer with a powerful lineage as the son of a Governor, secretly works as a member of Miamene's most shadowy and notorious gang, the Black Sun who bring justice to Ojuwele.
But when a mission goes awry, Daran faces the choice to protect himself or loyalty to the gang headed by the girl he loves. But his fate takes a cruel twist when his capture leads to exile in the dreaded Outerlands, a desolate wasteland once home to an ancient tribe, now overrun by ruthless monsters. But in a desperate struggle for survival, dormant powers suddenly awake in Daran, which could hold the key to concealed truths and even his own past.
In a narrow escape, Daran finds a young woman with a mysterious past and a charismatic religious leader he finds himself unexpectedly drawn to. With nothing to lose and a united purpose, they venture out into the ruins of a lost city which could hold the key to disurpting to social order of Ojuwele for good. But lurking in the shadows is an ancient evil that closes its grip on Daran's newfound power. In a race against time, Daran and his new allies must learn to protect their people, even in a country that has long forgotten them.

I wanted to make this list because whenever I create a new story, I always scour tumblr and other people's posts for inspiration for what to include in my own posts. I always end up forgetting what I found and liked so here's everything compiled.
You don't have to include everything within this list for your own posts, this was just a general summary of everything I saw. The bolded items are things I strongly think you should include, but again it's up to you and your preference.
Below the lists, I've also included character development resources and writing advice. Hope you enjoy! Everything is beneath the cut.

SUMMARY.
the ashford brothers were at war, regardless of whether or not the eldest of the two knew of the fact. but when theodore ashford returned to london and witnessed the death of mayumi sakamoto at the hands of his own brother, it changed everything. no longer could theo stand at his brother’s side and not see the murderer that nathaniel ashford had become. theo couldn’t look at himself without thinking, without knowing that she was dead because of what he couldn’t do.
he wanted to make it right to her, but in doing so, unwillingly stepping into london’s criminal underground where he’s faced with the city’s most notorious criminals. and where most would’ve run, theo found an opportunity in their presence, because if theo wanted to take down a criminal, the best way to do so was to work alongside london’s most infamous.
CHARACTERS.
theodore theo ashford / THE MASTERMIND ─ the one who would do anything to take his brother down, not caring if all that he kept buried would be exposed or if he couldn’t see it through to the end.
elijah eli clarke? / THE HITMAN ─ the one with lies dripping from his tongue that the line between what is truth and what isn’t continues to blur. even he doesn’t know the difference anymore.
henry bohen / THE HACKER ─ the one who holds everyone’s secrets within his grasp that all would do anything they could in order to keep it hidden, but it means nothing in the end.
dorothea thea bohen / THE SEDUCTRESS ─ the one who has every man in london at their knees for merely a glance at the beauty that she was and yet the one person she wanted was just out of reach.
mayumi sakamoto / THE GHOST ─ the one who found herself in a early grave after promises of a better life had turned to poison right in front of her eyes and when she didn’t stay dead, revenge is all she desired.
autistic people! spark research, partnered with autism speaks, is trying to find a prenatal link to autism so they can practice eugenics and eradicate autism from the gene pool.
Welp. There’s no other way to say it: I was hit by a semi-truck in a hit-and-run accident. I was stopped in the middle of the highway to try and assist a disabled vehicle that was blocking one-and-a-half lanes of a three-lane highway, and while I was on the phone with 911, after verifying that the driver of the other vehicle was okay, a semi-truck crashed into my little four-door car and smashed it into the already-disabled vehicle. That semi-truck then drove off. This all happened at 3 am on Feb 25th
The cops don’t have any leads on the semi right now (March 1st) and my insurance only covers liability, so... As of right now it’s looking like I'll still need to pay off my totaled vehicle ($6k). It’s shit.
Myself, my roommate (@the-unseelie-court-officialurt-official), and my fiance (@madmonksandmaenads) were all in the vehicle at the time, and we’ve all been discharged from the hospital, but we were all injured. We’ve got so many bills piling up. Anything helps.
I’m gonna be streaming as much as I can reasonably stand in the meantime, to help drive donations. I really don’t know what else to do. If you can help financially, there’s links below- if you can’t, then reblogging this post and following/watching my twitch stream are free. Watching my stream does give me a little bit of ad revenue, too

hey yall i would deeply appreciate if you guys reblog this post! it would mean so much to me as i have finals coming up for school and getting this issue resolved somewhat would take some stress off me.
but hi i'm harriyanna hook and i am an overall entrepreneur and college student! i have my own youtube channel where i make videos about animations, kid shows, fandom, social issues, and nostalgia. on my instagram i do educational posts on both my business page and my instagram page. on my website, i have a blog, along with a shop where i sell products inspired by my favorite things.
this year youtube started to suppress my content and stopped pushing my videos out to my audience. i have gotten messages from people asking, "when are you gonna upload?" and i usually upload every other day so i know something it's right. youtube probably has me shadowbanned. usually, the traffic from my youtube channel goes to my other socials and my website, but because of this it hasn't. it's just been very frustrating has i put so much into my channel to get to the following i have all for that to no longer matter because youtube won't even push my videos out to those following me. its been more difficult for me to get work done because of how bad and painful the eczema on my hands has gotten this year (because of all the grief I've been dealing with and somethings caused by people who shall not be named). and often my hands bleed because of how much pain they're in. its become a bit more difficult for me to work with both my job and school so i would just appreciate if my views went back up so i would have that stress off my back.
here's some ways to support me!!!!
subscribe and watch my videos (with the add blocker off)! it's literally the best free way to support me.
my shop and blog! (as i am typing this it's black friday and everything is 40% off discount applied at checkout)
Ali Hazelwood just admitted in an interview that her agent or editor or whoever basically feeds her a bunch of tropes they want to see and she has her hand held through the entire process of writing a book rather than putting in the work of having a remotely original idea and writing the manuscript herself and me n every other BIPOC author trying to get published are slamming our heads into walls because white mediocrity keeps winning
