Thank you @leila-of-ravens !!!

Tarot-inspired Prompts

Nine of Cups - when was the last time your character felt on top of the world?

Not necessarily the last time, but they feel like that when they get to carry out their duties as court fool. Calling out snobs who can do nothing to defend themselves against Amaryllis’s words will always make their day without fail.

Ten of Swords - was there a time your character has ever hit “rock bottom”?

Despite all of the different hardships they've faced and some of their less than perfect coping mechanisms, not really. Amaryllis has had times where they were having a much harder time than was typical, but the behavior was in line with what they were going through. All the change they go through to break out of the unhealthy things they do happens gradually.

Four of Cups - how indecisive is your character?

Technically two lines but I love this dialogue so—

😭😭😭 thank you!!!

I love talking about her, she’s my second born 🥺 but she gets overshadowed by her siblings all the time

Thank you!! Gonna try to keep this brief

Willow: What's their most toxic trait?

Alec—Defensive, especially more so after being resurrected, she feels like she’s being questioned and can get angry quickly due to it

Jamil—Over-protective, this doesn’t show up much in general, but in certain instances (like when he finds out about everything going down in Lucio’s route) he can be very stifling with his need to protect

Camia—Bluntness, she can be very mean in how she says things, even without meaning to, but the ones that hurt the most are the ones that she means

Leon—Resentful, no one holds a grudge longer than them, but they are more likely to just stew over it for years instead of act upon it

Miriam—Stubborn, this shows up the most in the period of time where Nadia is asleep and she is helping run the palace, causing her to clash with Valerius and other members of the court

Viviane—Nosy, she’s very interested in gossip and knowing everyone’s business, and her magic allows her to sneak around and snoop as much as she wants to

Meredith—Cynical, she doesn’t trust others easily and often assumes the worst of people firsthand

Saoirse—Indifference, not so far as apathy, but they’re not generally conscious of humans outside of their immediate vicinity—though this does wear off over time and in the current timeline they are very conscious and caring of humans

Rodrigo—Volatile, it’s ridiculously easy to set him off, and the outcome is always unpredictable

Jacqui—Possessive, he can come off as non-caring, but he’s actually extremely possessive over Rodrigo and the rest of the crew, which is why he’s so careful about letting new members join

Syd—Manipulative, feel like this is self-explanatory but he doesn't see it as a toxic trait, he sees manipulation as an art form

Writer Asks! @leila-of-ravens

1. who is the hardest character for you to write?

Of my OCs the hardest character to write is Camia and Syd—Cami because she just will not give me content, like she’ll give me ideas and then shuts up for weeks, and Syd because I just hate him lol like I have plenty of things I could write for him but he pisses me off so I just Don’t

Of canon characters I find Lucio the hardest to write for? I love him don’t get me wrong, but it’s hard for me to wrap my brain around him and feel like I Get Him, you know? If I ever redo my route rewrite for him I’m gonna have to do a lot of studying beforehand

7. What fic of yours makes you the most emotional?

So many 😫 Champion and Kill Of the Night made me emotional writing them, because they’re both about the lowest points of Camia and Leon’s lives, respectively, but the one that chokes me up when I go back to reread it is The One Who Stayed and the One Who Left — that last line hurts me to this day

20. What story that you have written makes you the happiest to re-read?

So, they both involve Leon, and they are both spicy lmao but two very different kinds of spice

For Your Entertainment is just chefs kiss it’s long, it took so much energy out of me to write but god if it wasn’t worth it to write Leon’s one-night with Valerius

Of course! Thank you @leila-of-ravens

For Leila, Alec chooses — Daughters by Lissie

She feels like this song kind of encompasses Leila’s passionate but also caring personality with a bit of bluntness that Alec can relate to!

Fierce as fire and sweet as fruit / Not easily defined, not following suit / In a world that's run on pride and force / Women of the world, we have a voice

We are the daughters/ We are the damned and doomed / Give us your violence / We won't be silent / We are the shelter / We are the helpers / We are the daughters

Oh god?? 🥺 I’m so glad I love that song so much

Well shuffle decided to give me 1980s Horror Film by Wallows

The lights were off

The mood was right

She came and laid with me

I looked into her eyes

And tried to make her mine

But then she said:

"I'm really not that into guys"
