The thing is I’m able to come up with great concepts—but the execution half usually falls flat. From a concept standpoint, maybe Lovell? A vampire hunter using a thurible filled with garlic based incense to disorient them is SO fun and I need to get back on the writing grind for that story in particular. What a cool guy.

In the dramatic section, things get a little more tricky. I eat up tragedy 3 meals a day—so I’ll just go down the list of some of my favorites.

- Kelis is a BUNCH of my personal favorite tropes mixed together! The death-loop thing is for sure a contender for worst (in the sense it would SUCK to deal with) abilities/attributes I’ve given a character. There’s also the circumstances that led to his first death, and the lover he was separated from and still desperately tries to find. Kelis trying to consistently recall his face through recreating it in different art mediums, never depicting a fully “accurate” representation of him?? More of that. You’ll notice I play around with doomed lover tropes VERY often…unfortunately…

- Cea’s the other one I think I’ve seriously fucked-over. In a way, Kelis and Cea are written very similarly on purpose? It gives them something to bond over, I’d say. Cea ALSO is reanimated from death (under a different manner than Kelis, thankfully) but it’s more the weight of responsibility that causes her grievance. At least in the first half of her life. After Ageis dies—which, does happen WAYY later on as though Ageis’ lifespan is still pretty long, she isn’t immortal—Cea becomes a lot more of the “dramatic” category I’m thinking of. The idea of mourning someone for longer than they’ve been alive…YEOWCH!!! I’ll still eat it up every time.

- Milton and Adonis (who you still might be familiar with?) also make this list in the sense that it’s not really a saddening story, but HOO BOY is it thick with theatrics. Specifically from Adonis’ viewpoint and recollections of Milton, he’s a very strange fella. Still haven’t finished writing that one act by the way LMAO
