Mooooost of the time. Except when they’re in the desert. 😁 Or if they get freeze-dried and packaged. (That got dark…)

They don’t have blood, but if cut the wound will spill light that in turn heals it.
That’s some cool concept imagery. 😎
So there are “laws unbreakable” like the cost of reason and the concept of ransom blood which are deep in the fabric of the world.
How does the concept of ransom blood work? What are some of the other unbre…[Read more]

Literally everyone loves your concept, so you’ve got originality conquered and in the bag, girl. XD
I love it so much but it loves to frustrate me and taunt me with its vagueness. Maybe you guys could help me make it make sense?

Thanks for the debriefing! I’ve read up on these concepts before, but it’s been so long since I focused on them, that I felt you were better able to summarize these things.
Of these, I think effects is actually the least important. Access and costs can both be very important, but cost probably a bit more so.
Definitely agree with this. Any…[Read more]

That type of randomness must be preserved.
I agree. You can definitely keep that vibe and just make up the rules for yourself so you stay consistent. You wouldn’t have to tell anyone the rules of the system.
It seems like your magic comes from fantastical animals. I don’t know if that’s true, but I do think that would be a great source of…[Read more]

I could fangirl all day over Secret of the Wings. Except that would bother people, so I choose not to. (You’re welcome, random people around me.)

Yeah, so it’s still floating around your brain like you just discovered it. I can totally see that working as a soft magic system. Is this something you want to solidify more, or is it goig to be fantastically random? (Either is great. ;])

Love the genderbent Smee
I choked on my own breathing 🤣😭
It makes me so sad they didn’t do it. I think there might be a book series out or releasing which is written about Tinker Academy. That’s all I’ve heard. I found a fun video essay about it on YouTube, but haven’t finished it. Tinkerbell was such a thing for me as…[Read more]

Oh my goodness, have you ever heard of the Tinkerbell movie that never finished production? It was called Tinker Academy or something, and rumor has it, it was going to be steampunk themed. I can’t believe they didn’t make it.

Ooohh funsies! Tinkerbell is such a favorite of mine, and I like the boots you gave her on the moodboard. It looks very accurate to her character if you took the story in a more serious fantasy direction.
Oh, I just noticed the crocodile. Hehehehehe.

Magic systems are such a struggle sometimes. Sometimes it’s something as simple as the elemental power of fire, and sometimes it is something as complicated as the periodic table of elements. They are so fun, and yet so hard to get right. XD

Yeah girl. Look at me. *Presses face into the screen* That’s a full 50,000 words. That’s no simple feat. 🥰 And you actually have words on the page which can be edited and made into something even better! It’s not like you’re working with an empty document here, this is a seriously already finished first draft.

I was reminded of something one of yall had said about maybe working on another WIP since maybe I’m just burnt out a bit on this one right now?
You should do that!! You’re not giving up on November or Paxton or anyone, you’re just giving them time to rest and develop in your subconscious. I often switch between projects when I feel burnt out. It g…[Read more]
