I used to read a lot of books in middle and high school before I joined the military, but ever since I actually haven’t read an entire full book, which I hate about myself. I dunno, I think it’s because we weren’t allowed to bring anything with us, so I spent a long time without reading books, so I got used to that.

I remember I used to love all the Percy Jacksons books (still do actually). I do like YA novels in general, but to me a good YA novel is one in a million hidden gems, you need to read a million special snowflake white girl protagonist who is beautiful but doesn’t know that she’s beautiful and has an asshole love interest who smirks a lot, before you find yourself an actual good novel.

I like the PJ books for that, they are unbelievable funny, but still action-filled and plot-focused. The romance there was just the right amount and better handled than other YA books, not to mention all the fantasy elements in it.

I guess you can say I like fantasy novels, but I’m very particular with them, I don’t like over the top Dungeons & Dragons type fantasy, just a graceful amount with solid world building is enough for me to carry the story alongside the characters and plot.

Send 💬 and my muse will say what they really think about yours.

Year one: Sighing softly as he looked at the tombstone, he shook his head, there was no reason why a young woman with such a bright future ahead of her should be here in a graveyard.”Madame, I’m so sorry we couldn’t, I couldn’t do more to help you, keep you safe.” He remembered the first time he tended her wounds, watched as she took the mantle of Batgirl. “We’ll take care of Master Grayson, I promise.” 

Year Five: “I’ve kept my promise, Master Grayson is doing better. Not quite back to his old self yet, but me and Master Wayne do what we can to keep his spirits up.” Smiling a little, a bit of sad in the smile though. “I go to lunch with your father now and then, he’s doing good. He’s finally get out and about. He’s almost forgiven himself.” 

Year Ten: “Barb, I miss you, and that beautiful smile. I know not, not a day goes buy where I don’t think of you. And I just want you to know that things are finally going well, we all miss you, but it’s brought us all a bit closer I think. I hope.” Nodding his head a little. “Your dad is happy, he smiled again for the first time. I think for the first time since you’ve passed things are looking up. Just know though the’d be better if you were here, and deep down we all miss you, more than anything.” 

2. Does your character have a deep and/or dark secret? If so, what is it?

Stephen’s biggest secret right now is how much debt he truly has from the use of his magic. Let’s just say he doesn’t expect to be going to a nice place when he dies. 

8. Does your character have any enemies? If so, who and why?

Stephen does have enemies. There’s dormammu, the ruler of the dark dimension. His goal in life is to destroy worlds in an instant, and claim them for his own dimension. Then there’s Mordo, a former sorcerer turned rouge. Finally, we have Thanos...which I don’t think I have to explain why he’s Stephen’s enemy. 

13. What does it take to make your character cry?

💪 - Do you work out?

Certainly a lot more than I used to, because of Hope. Still not the biggest fan of it though. 

No, I haven’t actually. And not sure? I read all of my dc comics on dc universe or comiXology and I pay for those.

♧ Any part of their canon portrayal you dislike?
