Give him something (or someone) he cares so much about that he would risk anxious situations to protect/keep/help. It could be something simple like a pet kitten or his father’s pocket watch, or something more complex like a best friend.

I already have that! Perhaps I have made some better-than-bad choices!

What is a cause he’d be wil…

I’ll rp later! I have to write a thesis abstract, and in terms of creative writing, I’m hyperfixated on a project.

It’s hilarious how the majority of fanfictions devolve into some form of mental or physical torture

You know story research just got real when you’re contemplating carrying your sister as many times up and down the street as you can, to test the strength vs weight in an escape scene

New chapters on the Part 2 doc!

Stopped at :45. That was legitimately helpful

This is going to sound goofy, but I’m going to start an idea-generation session at :05.

@ellette-giselle

I feel like they’re not going to be happy. Particularly with Aelic.

@ellette-giselle

I’m worried for Aelic…

@ellette-giselle

Ahh! I love it! I’m glad they decided to go back to the village, but… 😬
