The Land of the Fallen Fairies

I thought it'd be silly if I share some of my scrapped ideas for your ✨inspiration pleasure ✨

(I'm going to be as vauge as possible so I have the chance to use these if I want to)

• child gets trapped in their parent's mind and the weakened god possessing the child's body has to act like everything's normal in order to get the child back without the parent noticing

• A mouse hiding in a latern as the world burns

• Every concept has a life to it, even to become more intelligent you must take a life, and, as humans are, it’s normal

To value the feeling of comfort as the one time you're allowed to feel vulnerable and afraid and taken care of, without worrying of searching it. To receive comfort, one must be in a situation that deserves comforting, and those situations are perilous ones.

Why would you crave those?

The core of their characters has remained the same since this iteration of them started (two years ago????)

Anuli - The idea of fixing yourself and overanalyzing what 'the right way to live is' (Anuli's the one character of mine where fae's grown with me the most soo... even for the core of faer character I keep changing how I describe it, because it's this messy, fluid thing??? Which is ironic considering that ANuli needs to define and categorize all faer feelings via stories.)

Kamari - to spend your entire life working towards a future where you might finally be who you want to be, only to have the work itself break you in every way imaginable.

Funnily enough, I had the arc for Anuli be self-hatred and categorizing faerself as the villain, Kamari's as obsessively wanting faer future. On paper it might work but the moment I considered switching…

"Why do you handwrite your first drafts?"

"Because I like it and it's portable and I judge my writing a lot less if it's harder to change it."

"But after handwriting it, you transcribe it all?"

"Onto google docs - unfortunately - yes."

"So it's a second draft."

"Nope, nearly word-for-word. Need to keep my typing speed as fast as possible, otherwise the step takes too much brain energy and I'll get tired."
