This might just be one of my favourite lines that I have ever written. "The need for cheer means that the only dry thing in here is your sparse liquor stores, and the mood has only plummeted in tune with the intoxication level."

Oh that sounds fun - I'll give it a go.

Not technically from my current work or setting. But purple is forever linked in my head to my first major OC. Young overlord aspirant Kelaris is deeply connected to that colour. Her magic is purple, her eyes goes from blue to purple as she grow more powerful. And her evil alter ego is so purple.

In Ryleth there is 'Caiphos' or the 'Fable Star', a single blood-red star sometimes appearing in the night sky, and is their world's worst omen of ill and evil. The myth goes that if it rises over a specific place, everyone below its scarlet light will go insane and slaughter everyone around them.

The weirdest thing about Selendis is the 'disjunctions', where essentially the land rearranges itself. On the smallest scale, it can be tiny things like a tree shifting places or a a mountain changing orientation, etc. this is common and happen somewhere every day, though most people never see it.

#FantasyIndiesSpooktober One of my current villains just wants to play and enjoy herself with the MC. If that involves a bit of murder to set the scene, mental torture and abuse of loved ones, and some very dark flirting and twisted manipulation, that just makes the fun all the more memorably ~ -

The strangest thing about the solar cycle in my world is that the day never varies, regardless of season. And the main way that you tell that a new year has begun is that once every 396 days, on solstice, the shines with a 'flare' where the sunshine is about three times as bright as any other day.

I need some degree of happy end in the stories I read. Not in every book but absolutely at the end of a series. I tend to favour some degree of 'earn your happy end' or the happier end of 'bitter-sweet ending'. At least as a general sense, I have liked some darker / sadder endings, but it's rare.

What character permanently altered you brain chemistry? While Raiden from Genshin is the one that is currently most on my mind, if I had to pick just one of all time, it would have to be:

(19) The Perennial sea is incredibly deep. And exist in several layers. The first layer is the Pelagial. This layer extends from the surface to over 27 kilometres deep. And is full of sea creatures from whales and sharks, mosasaurs, and deep sea horrors. And even some undersea civilizations.

We are having the largest thunderstorm I think I have ever seen right now ❤️‍🔥 It it's supper cool with constant rain, lightning, and thunder every few minutes. And it's enormous, at least by our standards. Here's a map of the storm currently and a cropped European map for comparison.

My world has six seasons: Hibernal - frigid cold and snowy Prevernal - chilly and often windy Vernal - mild weather, often rain Aestival - warm, sunshine and rain Serotinal - heat, dry warmth Autumnal - dry and mild climate It's somewhat more complex than this, but that is the easy shorthand.

Okay... okay... I just sent a query to my nr. 1 dream agent. After I just discovered that he is *also* the agent for all of my top five all-time favourite books. I do not have high hopes - I know my work is not on the level of the books he already represents. But fingers crossed.

Having recently received a WONDEFUL fanfic that followed my characters and worldbuilding accuracy to an extraordinary degree, yes, I would love more, if they also respected my setting

Last movie I saw was K-pop Demon Hunters - and the most recent series was season two of My Dress-Up Darling.

Fuck me I wrote it

In my Selendis world the main religion worships a triune goddess called Asharti. She is formally symbolized by a trinity knot / triquetra. Though that is often simplified to a ordinary triangle. Their church has nine different sects, who each have their own version of the symbol.

#MythAugust (I'm late, but really wanted to do this one) The higher cosmos in my characters' world is largely a mystery. But there is an archaic deck of tarot said to hold clues about it. The highest ranking card is called 'The World', and is followed by the five cardinal cards, as shown here:

A snippet from my acupuncture medical procedural story Needles of Life. One of the characters have a series of flashback scenes, and they were easily my favourite thing to write in this story 😁

As I was just reminded by a friend, in Danish the word for cook is 'kok', the word for castle is 'slot', and the word for dune is 'klit'. So if you were to say 'there are many cocks in the castle near the dunes'. it would sound like: There are many cocks in the slut near the clits. Your welcome.

I have actually tried this in real life, and let me tell you - it sucks! On a school trip I shared a bed with the girl I was in love with. I was terrified of accidentally touching her. So I lay completely still all night, and got barely two hours of sleep, while sweating with my heart pounding.

Holy shit - I saw Kpop Demon Hunters yesterday ❤️‍🔥 Not once, not twice, but *six* times over two days. It is so fucking good. I cried at Rumi's finale, twice. And the music was incredible. And I actually genuinely liked the romance, which is fairly rare for me.

I'm tempted to write a story with a character that is cursed to be uglier the happier and more innocent she is, and prettier the darker and more wrathful she is. Just for the whiplash of using the line - 'Then he saw her again.... and she was more stunning beautiful than anyone he had ever seen.'

Doctor stabs dying patient until she gets better - while trying to convince his friends that terrorism is bad actually.

#Daily100 - day 5 Didn't get any writing done on my main wip, but did work on a side project. "So you have already gotten rid of the painting. Did you know that was my mother's? The last one she painted before she was killed.”

Alright, #WritingCommunity, I haven't done a #writingq on Bluesky yet, so here's the first. Today's topic - ruler Tell me about who rules where you story is set. Is it ruled by a king or queen, perhaps a council of aristocrats? Tell me about them, or what interests you about them.

I have a lot, but the current main ones and their primary stories are: Perennial - 'Emberglass' and the other Kealin Valanthyr's stories Selendis - 'Princess of Dreams', 'Needles of Life' Malanta - 'Witching Hour', chose-your-own-adventure Ryleth - 'Thief of Virtues' Gaian - 'Fourth Kingdom'

Explain your @ I made the name Akernis in high school. And as you might expect from a linguistic student, there is etymological lore behind it. It consists of these parts - Aker + n + is - with the n simply serving as binding link between the two parts. And can be translated to 'of' or 'he of'.

The artifact known in the earliest extant human stories is the Crucible - also called the 'Folly' or 'Sin of Apotheosis' It's exact nature and origin varies by myth, but the stories say that you can use it to fashion a perfect artificial person with the exact appearance and traits of your choosing.

#SFFChat 18 - "what is the weather forecast in your WIP" Rain - so much rain! I have three stories currently and it is raining in all of them. Especially in Needles of Life, it is a monsoon season where it raining incessantly for the entire three months of the story.

I painted today! For the first time in something like five years. I doubt it's going to be a requiring thing, but it was fun to just draw again after so long ♥️

#JuneWorldbuilders #WritingCommunity Day 9 - Snippet - 'shoes/shirt'

#JuneWorldbuilders Day 7 - Servant of a God/Devil Not serving a god or devil directly - but Lylith, one of the three MCs from Fourth Kingdom. Her adoptive mother is an archangel and her adoptive father an archdemon. And she serves them loyally... at least when the story starts. #WritingCommunity

Fuck yes! I just finished the scene that have been bothering me all week. It's the emotional climax of the story, where the two characters who have been working towards each other the entire time finally meet. The scene didn't up like I intended, but I think it ended as fit the characters ^^

I'm Akernis and working on several projects concurrently. Needles of Life - A fantasy 'medical drama' / political thriller about acupuncture. Malanta - An evil chose-your-own-adventure story Witching Hour - A story about witches and witch-hunter knights Silver Artist - *secret project*

4 villains I've written. 1. The eviler alter ego of an aspiring evil overlord. 2. Paranoid and tyrannical god-king, who was once a good father. 3. A scorned reality-warping artist searching for their lost lover. 4. A shapeshifting puppeteer who enslaves and plays with people like dolls on strings.

Just an entirely ordinary day, with an character having entirely normal thoughts and opinions...

This drops tomorrow! I'm so damn excited. I have been waiting for this so impatiently. This is going to be so much fun!

Some shadows advanced only to dissolve into smoke when she flung out her hand and shot another blast of volts. She laughed again; lightning charged around the room, striking down any shadow that tried to rise. Finally some art for book 3 😌

Yesterday, I read/played a story where the villains were literally a bunch of evil spiders in a trenchcoat, and they were defeated with the power of *memes* And it was one of the most awesome and macabre stories I have read in months. Thanks @failbettergames.bsky.social

In no particular order. The ones I've had most fun watching. Fate Stay Night - UBW / HF Love is War Apothecary diaries Girls Und Panzer Inuyasha -

Thanks to both Kira and Jen for the tagging. Don't know that many people, so I'll skip the tagging. But the rest sounds fun ^^ 5 faves Food: Pizza 🍕 Season: Spring 🌹🌷 Drink: Water 💧 Colour: Green ❇️ Anime: Love is War ♥️🗡️

Chapter 11 - The Assistant I had fun writing this dialogue ^^

Chapter 9 - Leylines and Chakras Okay, let's get a look at the acupuncture magic system that this story revolves around.

Chapter 4 - The Healer Properly introducing our second main character, Zeare. Healer in the court of the warlord.

I freaking love shrikes ♥️

Raiden Shogun 💜

Prologue “My lord, Zeare is here.” Tisong turned around, his commanding gaze falling on her with all the intensity of the serotinal zenith sun. “How is she?” In her exhaustion, Zeare barely remembered to bow before her lord. “She’s dying, my lord.”

My current story - so far - has a prologue and 19 chapters. And I want to see if I can post a snippet from each once per day. Plot - A former acupuncture healer is forced to use his arts to save the woman beloved by the warlord who has conquered and oppressed the healer's people.
