And there's the activity book that was a lot of fun. #readingcommunity.

Now I have the full collection. One of my absolute favorite series that I am so excited to reread and tab! #readingcommunity.

And another free bookmark! #readingcommunity.

Book 2 came! #readingcommunity.

#AntagonistApril My main antagonist is one of the most powerful people in the world, because of ✨history✨! Still, they need subjects to rule over.

For this question, it’s a pretty mixed bag. Some of his minions are extremely loyal to him, worshiping him like a God. But many other others are simply kept loyal due to fear or opportunity. Oswal is only loyal as long as the money keeps coming. While Hadien is loyal out of fear of punishment.

#AprilWorldbuilders One more about the Harnok, the race of bull people from my #TTRPG world. They had a history of being huge dicks, running an empire and enslaving other races. Today, even scattered as they are, they have a very strict sense of morality in order not to let that happen again.

#FantasyIndiesApril Ask me about my WIP? What would you like to know about my next book, the book about Rose? Or any of my books, for that matter. I'm not picky. @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @fantasyindies.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

Thiiftbooks also sent a free bookmark. #readingcommunity.

I also cannot wait for book 2 to arrive. This is one of my absolute favorite series. The only series I have read as many times as I've read Harry Potter and Seekers (and you know how much I love those books) and I haven't been able to read them in so long. 😍 #readingcommunity.

I also got books 1,2, and 4 of Monster High Ghoulfriends series in the mail today. Book 3 is supposed to come Thursday. Yay! #readingcommunity.

#AprilWorldbuillders Sphinx religion is focused on Greater sphinx being divine beings. Because of this many of their symbols are attributes of the Greater sphinx. common symbols would be wings and the shape of their flat oval faces used in designs. They also have an eye motif for psychic power.

#FantasyIndiesApril 20 I'm not sure there are any specific words I do this with all the time, but when I'm editing I'll notice "oh, I dropped a cluster bomb of that word across this little area" semi-regularly and go fix it. #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

#QueerPrompts April 20: Lesbian/queer women in your story Gale is this chill, laid back biker chick who never really gets upset about anything. Tien is her opposite, always getting annoyed and upset, but still just as caring as Gale, who naturally she falls for.

#fantasyindiesapril Day 20 Overused word Apparently, I love the word scything. I'm not sure why that one manages to sneak into every other book I write at least once, lol.

#AntagonistApril day 20. WIP 1: There’s a lot of genuine loyalty. The Monster King and Queen are fighting for philisophical reasons after all, and so they aren’t interested in followers who’s presence goes against that philosophy. It does happen that some get too comfy with the money (it can be-

Ingrave has many loyal servants and allies (although with politicking on both sides). Meanwhile, De Roche and Blackthorne's rake coterie are a bunch of garbage men ready to backstab their friends at the drop of a hat! De Roche keeps his minions in line by awe, but, well… (🧵1/2) #AntagonistApril

#AprilWorldbuilders 20 The anchor is a common symbol associated w/ the Vesikoi. They’re also famous for wearing flowing garments, especially in their homeland, Wextal. The garments are meant to invoke imagery of the sunbell, a beautiful, multicolored fish w/ veil-like fins.

Day 20 of #FantasyIndiesApril Right now, the word I use most in my Oracle of Delphi series WIP is snactuary. Er, I mean sanctuary. 🤣 #WritingCommunity

#AprilWorldbuilders The Domovye don't do anything differently than what the other species do, though I want to mention their telepathy. As I mentioned before, mated pairs are telepathically bonded and can speak even across planes. In theory, this means a deceased one could speak to a living one.

#FantasyIndiesApril Nicknames A day late I know. Chana calls Rose 'Princess'. Rose hates that. @chesneyinfalt.bsky.social @fantasyindies.bsky.social @lvrussell.bsky.social

#AprilWorldbuilders 18 Dryads are like lobsters. They can die, but usually it's murder or a horrid accident, not the passage of time. The lobster analogy is weird... Essentially, if their plant dies, they can regrow themselves if their seed stone is till good. I've not thought about it yet.

#AprilWorldbuilders 17 Humans are actually quite small, whereas dryads are global, although they don't really know that. It's a wonder I've only made a dryad a protagonist in my current WIP, Flowers and Entomology. Some dryads mix well with humans. There's trade. A few even join humans as... 1/2

#AntagonistApril 18 Missed this yesterday. Most of my antagonists are sorcerers and sorcerers can sometimes be lucky enough to bond to arcanafauna. One of my villains is a necromancer on top of that. DeLussier has an army of undead and a sky horn beetle to help him with conjuration... 1/3

#AprilWorldbuilders 19 Whispers is a professor of entomology. Joy is a professor of arcanazoology and probably Whispers' colleague. Sylvia is a mechanic with an interest in land vehicles made by humans. Dahlia (not the god) is a warden, guarding over her species while humans are being fucky.

Day 18 of #FantasyIndiesApril Another unedited snippet from Book 8 of my Oracle of Delphi series WIP. This is from the Pythian Games of the year 50 BCE. #WritingCommunity

#fantasyindiesapril Day 19 Nicknames Current WIP nicknames are all shortened versions of full names. Dani for Daniela. Zander for Alexander. Sera for Serafina. I seem to like long names with short nicknames this time around.

#AntagonistApril 19 Most of my antagonists are on the level that they don't have to get dirty. The paladin commanders (not always villains, but definately not sharing my MC's interests) will get hands on, even though they have men. DeLussier is always hands on, but do not... 1/2

#FantasyIndiesApril 19 Vayris is the primary giver of nicknames. Janine is the main recipient of this; he exclusively calls her Sparky. He refers to Caelum as Little Sage at times & dubs Thyrssa as Shieldbreaker. Also, everyone calls Velouris "Vee". #writing #amwriting #writingcommunity #writesky

The Countess Battoria keeps monsters in the catacombs of the castle.

#AntagonistApril 20 My antagonists are mostly held together by a web of threats and fear. Istaria's people approve of her goals and want the war she brings, but if they thought they could, many would take her place. She has a few loyal followers, like V'arret, but most are merely convenient.🧵

#AprilWorldbuilders day 20: 1. Death Knights don’t really have their own symbol. But Demtre is associated with arachnids (her family symbol was a scorpion and she personally has a thing for the brown recluse spider). So Death Knights often march under a Scorpion banner by their connection to her.
