"a fatherless son with a brother of death,
a mother of night and with which comes rest,
heroes lay weapons for lack of souls to reap,
for here lies the tomb of eternal sleep.”
"At least it's saying to lay down our weapons," Leo offered optimistically. "So we're still fighting off the sleep..." he yawned—twice. "The sleep magic...which is good because I...I don't have any weapons training anyways..."
"Great," Nico supplied sarcastically. "I look forward to dying next to the worst morning person I've ever met."
"I usually save my dying in a dark, creepy temple for the third date!" Leo called without thinking, but Nico was already marching forward without a moment more of hesitation, disappearing into the darkness.
Chapter 11 of Ceaseless Eve is out now !!
twiddles my thumbs looks around
What are the common theories about the universe? (Fate, free will, what’s out there? Gods?)
How much does this society know about its world? (how much is explored versus not, are they fully aware of their history or are there things they haven’t discovered yet? What’s beyond their scope?)
What sort of religions or communities exist?
What foods do they eat, what wouldn’t be as normalized?
What traditions do they have? Festivals, celebrations, holidays, etc.
How does the average person spend a Sunday?
Is there a skill that’s expected for people to know? (ex. where I live most people know how to ride a bike) Is there something that would be odd in this society to know?
Do people drive or do they transit or do they walk? How do people get around?
How do people communicate with each other? (Phones, letters, birds, etc.)
What’s something that makes your setting unique or fit specifically for your story?
Good luck!
excuse me? EXCUSE ME? why would noah and hozier do this to me? THEY SOUND SO GOOD TOGETHER hold on i need 7-10 business days to process
Some ship dynamics:
• *six months into cuddling and calling each other "babe"* wait... Are we in love???
• an incarnation of evil and an incarnation of the person meant to slay them fall in love before either of them learns of the fate that awaits them
• a person stuck in a timeloop and their partner who unbeknownst to them is also stuck in the timeloop and had to watch them die thousands of times
• "we used to date the same person but honestly I like you way better than I ever liked them"
• "I need to do this alone" "not if I can help it"
• big & grumpy one becomes affectionate and needy when in love and the small sunshine one LOVES to indulge them
• graveyard keeper x necromancer (bonus points if they're bitter exes)
• vampire eager to learn about the current state of the world after long slumber x divorced librarian in their 40s
• old gods who treat planets and their inhabitants as pawns on a board, about to settle a millenia-old argument (bonus points if the argument turns out to be about something really stupid)
• "I want to study you" "get in my guts then" "what" "what"
