Me looking at Elizabeth: why does my mind keep conjuring of Child!MC begging her for upsies I—
Your MC would get a head pat for your troubles 😂
Elizabeth has never been a upsies kind of woman — barring with her own children; though that was more to keep them safe than anything else — but if the MC started crying, or was fairly persistent, she may humor you. Unless the crying became a thing that constantly happened when she refused; then you’d simply get a lesson that not everything will always go your way and you get either complain about it or do something that’ll make what you want happen.
my mc would LOVEEEEEE to record a dramatic reading of christians fucked up and evil email to send back to him. hes so fucking funny hes my favorite sibling i fear
All of the responses to the emails will be up to all of you how you’d like to respond — if your MC does to begin with — as I realized, while working on said scene, that there were numerous ways the emails could go and I didn’t want to deprive you all of that. Text messages are a bit easier; so I’m excited to get to those little moments in the later chapters. Especially if I decide to implement the sibling group chat.
I’m glad you like Christian! He’s a doll that tries his best; even though he’s aware his best sometimes isn’t good enough.
In the new update will we still get some family content too?
You absolutely will! On the plane ride specifically, the very first series of scenes in the upcoming update, you'll get a variety of chances to talk about your family (or to them directly). One of said options will be a few emails that you can decide to check that I had a lot of fun writing; especially as it'll give you a full overlook at the siblings' personalities compared to each other.
Christian's email, for instance, is titled: WHY YOU SUCK -- A Comprehensive Analysis (NOT a Pun)
Dear Most Annoying Sibling,
Congratulations! You have once again outdone yourself in the grand tradition of being a nuisance. I am writing to formally lodge a complaint; Cienna has already taken the official 'intimidating older sibling' role, and I feel my efforts in this regard are unappreciated. Especially since I do not have a glare that could make Antarctica seem like a nice location for a summer vacation.
First of all, why did you let Blake "borrow" my leather jacket? You're aware that the half-incubus you call a best friend has absolutely no control when it comes to his appetite, right? He returned it smelling like garlic. GARLIC! Do you know how hard it is to get that smell out? DO YOU? It lingers. It haunts me. I swear I can still smell it on my pillow, in my socks, and in my dreams. I have tried everything. Febreze? Laughable. Vinegar? Now it just smells like pickled garlic. Sunshine? Now I have a warmed garlic stench following me everywhere. I'm like a walking breadstick and not in a fun way.
People are staring. Not in the way I typically enjoy either. A guy at the café this morning sniffed the air, like some sort of bloodhound, and whispered, "Do you smell that?" like I was some kind of culinary cryptid.
Secondly, and this is the most egregious offense, I know you stole the last blood bag from the private stash in the lounge. That was mine. I licked it. It had my name on it. I hope it tasted like guilt.
Please fix your life choices immediately.
With begrudging affection,
Christian
P.S. I hope you have a nice time at Aurelian Academy and that everyone treats you well. Even if you are a bloody thief.
Compared to Cienna's email simply titled: Checking In.
Me seeing Scarlet get all the love from the fans while I'm chilling waiting for C and Blake: Let's go, lesbians! LET'S GO, LESBIANS!
Blake has some fun moments that I'm excited for you all to see -- I'll include some beneath the cut -- and Cy -- as I think that's who you mean by C -- has a few moments that I think will be enjoyable, even if they're not present for a super long time.

Koda: Not really. If someone asked about it he’d definitely get a glow about him and start gushing about you, but it’s not something he’d go out of his way to talk about/showcase to random people.
Scarlett: She isn’t truly the type to flaunt things in that manner— at least not overtly. It’s not something she’d hide, but it’s also not something she’d draw attention to. Though, I can see her absentmindedly stroking the side of neck when she’s deep in thought which might turn peoples gaze to it. Now if she was feeling possessive? That may be a different story.
Cyrus/Cyra: No. They love and adore you, but it’s not in their nature to show off things like that. Not when the mark is so intimate to them and holds such deep value to them. They also have a sense of decorum to maintain due to being the Heir of House Aurelia.
Quinn: Their wolf would absolutely be pushing for them to show it off— to show that they had a mate and that they chose amazingly (if they do say so themself). But, Quinn being Quinn, would be fairly laidback about it. Although you’d see them wearing more open collared shirts.
Caden: Yes and no. They wouldn’t hide the mark, as they could never be ashamed of it, but they also wouldn’t wish to answer potential questions about it— even if they do like talking about their love for you. So it’d be something that’s showcased when they’re in an environment they’re comfortable with but hidden when it’s one they’re not.
Sloane: They don’t truly care. (They care about the mark but not really about what people think about it.) To them people can take their opinions and shove it… If their mark is on display then it’s on display. They’re proud of having you as their mate, something their wolf wholeheartedly agrees with, but they’re also fine with keeping that connection to themself too.
Blake: Do you know Blake? I wouldn’t be surprised if they got one of those shirts with a bright red arrow pointing towards where the mark is with the text “Second Half of a Bonded Pair, DNI” with a cheeky grin on their face the entire time. They’d hate having to cover it up, which is why it’s sort of fortunate that they typically don’t wear layers.
Reginald/Regina: I think they’d obliviously show it off. It’d be something that they’d bring attention to without realizing and immediately beam when it’s brought up— as they adore talking about the bond they share with you (not getting into too much detail).
Realized as I was working that I’ve been keeping you all waiting when it comes to the official art for Scarlett; something I’ll release upon the update — it’ll kick my ass into gear because it’s another thing I really want to do for you all — and I shared one sneak peek before so I’ll do another one.
All credit for this beautiful piece of art goes to @/mooreaux.
Cy will typically avoid eating spaghetti — or other things shaped like it — when around other people due to the similarity to worms; Cy isn’t about to deal with bird jokes while they’re trying to enjoy their pasta. Especially if they’re hungry.
Cy once gave their younger brother a black eye — accidentally flinging their hand back — and they were so distraught about it they kept trying to get Helios to return the favor; something he wouldn’t do as it wasn’t necessary. Partially because of their healing capabilities and because it had been an accident. Due to Helios not doing so Cy decided to ground themself. And I do mean ground themself; as they refused to shift and fly for three months.
They let their youngest siblings — Apollo and Artemis — braid their hair as it’s something that soothes the twins; even during sessions of the Etheric Court as Cy would rather take care of their younger siblings than appear like a monarch that they aren’t yet.
When Cy is doing menial tasks it’ll be a common occurrence for you to hear them whistling softly while doing so; not even aware that some birds, if they’re near a window, would have appeared to check them out.
They never typically introduce themselves with their last name — unless the circumstances call for it; like events at Aurelian Academy — because they don’t want to deal with the potential possibility that said person they’re talking to will change; act differently due to them being the Heir to the Eclipse Throne.
if this is spoilers, ignore, but who's the strongest in your universe? where does the family fall on the chart (mainly Elizabeth)? what about Balerion?
is there an original vampire? where did supernaturals come from?
honestly, I love every character, but Elizabeth in particular is so fascinating to me. also, i apologize for so many questions, I'm bursting atm🫠🤭
When it comes to the family Elizabeth is absolutely the strongest, which is due to a number of factors, but her overall age is a big one. I can’t truly go into who is the strongest as a whole — as one of the strongest will be revealed later on to the MC — but the Divine and the Fallen are fairly powerful individuals that I wouldn’t want to get on the bad side of.
There are a lot of theories on where the first supernatural species came from; some are a bit easier to pinpoint as they simply came from different realms and settled on Earth. While others — like vampires — are said to have been blessed (or cursed depending on who you ask) with their affliction; with some even thinking that vampirism, as it is today, evolved to what it is now. The only vampires who would really be able to tell you what happened are the ancients and they’re typically tight lipped about a lot.
As for Balerion? Dragons in general are powerful due to their fire alone. Magic is also imbued into their very blood which is why ingredients from true dragons are so rare to see being sold — given that the majority of dragons have gone back to their own realm — and why said ingredients are so astronomically expensive. The kind that Balerion is, is the largest of the draconic species but not many dragon hunters would try to fight him due to his size and attitude in general.
There’s no need to apologize at all! I loved answering all of your questions and I hope I was able to give you what you were looking for. ❤️
Do mate marks have to be announced in advanced when it comes to certain families (Scarlett's and Cy's) or is it strictly something between them and MC?
I thought I'd ask because given Cy's royal status it would maybe have to come up so that the wedding can then be planned shortly after.
And Scarlett's family is the oldest Vampire family in existence, so I don't know if that would be something that would make her have to bring it up before it happens, even though she's not first-born.
Although something tells me A) She'd do it AFTER she received MC's mate mark and B) If anyone asked if it happened yet she'd tell them to (politely of course) to bugger off.
I hope you don't mind these mate mark questions. I did have a look through the already answered ones, but this seems so specific in nature I don't think it's been brought up before.
There’s official announcements to the wider supernatural community, yes. Like a royal engagement announcement pretty much. Though — when it comes to actual family members — it typically depends on the family in general; with House Aurelia, for instance, Cy wouldn’t really need to announce it as the MC simply being allowed to be around them and in deep relationship with them sort of showcases that the members of the royal family would accept the bond regardless. Alaric would probably want Scarlett to tell him just so he can have “the talk” with the MC again… As Alaric would have definitely already had a version of said talk with you. So it wouldn’t be for prosperity’s sake… Alaric and Scarlett just share the same sense of humor even though they’d both scoff at the comparison.
When it comes to weddings and things those can typically be planned at a slower pace, but the families would typically have been told — or at least aware — at that point to begin planning.
And you’re exactly correct on Scarlett; she’d walk in to a scheduled dinner with her father and stare him dead in the eye as she sat down. Not even trying to hide it. Now if it hadn’t happened yet and people kept asking? She’d definitely tell people to stop trying to rush something that didn’t need to be rushed; especially if it was making you uncomfortable.
I don’t mind the mating mark questions in the slightest! I’m well aware that a lot of questions can be raised due to said piece of world-building for Midnight Sun. And I’m always happy to try my best to answer any questions you all have regardless! ❤️

It is! I’ve just been busy — not a good excuse but the only explanation I have, I’m afraid — since October as my parents have been having issues with the state taking out a bunch of money from their paychecks due to an error; something that was only compounded by the fact that the people hired to help sort everything out had been stringing them along for two years.
Trust me I’ve put way too much time and energy into the plane scene alone for chapter one to not release it for you all; I’d honestly probably cry if all of that went to waste. ❤️
When you ran to the staff at ChoiceofMods it was fucking hysterical, crying about this so called harassment lmfao 🤣🤣. I loved it, but where did it get you? How many tears did you shed? I wish I could've seen it.
I think you sent this to the wrong person and I also think there’s a lot of context that I’m missing on this one…
Regardless I feel horrible for anyone that’s been harassed and I hope whoever this comment was meant for has gotten the situation sorted out, and that they haven’t received more messages like this. ❤️
The demo has been officially moved over; again thank you to the people who have been sending me messages to let me know! I truly appreciate it a great deal. ❤️
are you planning to move midnight sun anywhere else with the dashingdon shutdown?
I am! I’ll be moving it to the CoG demos website when I get back from work today; or when I have a moment with my laptop sometime during the day. I’ll be making a post when I do so as I don’t want all of you to worry about that in the slightest.
Dear author, unfortunately dashingdon is going to be discontinued thus month. So it may be wise to move it to COG.
Thank you so much for letting me know — I’ll move it over as soon as I’m able; I just haven’t really been able to do anything as of late (since October as you all know) as I’ve been working around sixty hours a week to help support my parents; state tax issues have been an absolute nightmare and the people they hired to help them look into said tax issues ripped them off for two years. So it became a big mess.
I’ve made an account on COG and I’ll make a post when I republish it on there.

If the vampire mating mark is the most vivid ...what do the others look like? Do the Phoenixs burn? And what about our phantom friends?
The mating mark looks the same for every species — as it’s a literal bite that supernaturals give one another. Of course, there are species that don’t have mouths so they do things a bit differently, but the concept, barring those unique circumstances, is the same for everyone.
A main uniqueness when it comes to the mating bond as a whole is that getting there can differ from species to species; although they all center around the inner beast that makes supernaturals different from humans.
(I’m aware that I might be confusing so I’ll add an example.) Wolf Shifters, or simply werewolves, as you’ve undoubtedly seen, have to choose their prospective mate based upon both their human and lupine sides agreement; if one doesn’t feel the potential connection then it could never work. Dragon Shifters, on the other hand, are more intrinsically connected to their shifted form so it’s typically an immediate thing… However, due to the inherent nature of dragons — being slightly possessive — multiple dragon shifters can feel that connection to a single person — hence the trials to prove themselves worthy of said bond. (Although they can still be rejected by their prospective partner as winning doesn’t guarantee anything… It just showcases the commitment and strength said individual possessed.)
hi. tjis is SOOO important 2 me but have u ever heard of those couples where like one has tattoos and the other colors them in with makeup or markers like a coloring book and its just cute and fun and my question is can i pleaseeeee color in sloanes lily sleeve if i ask really niceys 🙏🙏🙏
Probably not. Only due to the fact that Sloane’s tattoo has deep personal meaning to them and if they wanted it to be colored then they would have gotten a colored tattoo; if Sloane ever gets another black-and-white tattoo (which they probably will) then the MC is more than welcome to color it in if they wish.
