I was tagges two times so I'm also doing it two times! This one's thanks to @gutblood

From: Corvids and Magic

"Do you want to lose your child?" She asks sharply.

"Have a care, Unspeakable," Father growls, "I do not tolerate being spoken to like that in my own House."

"Of course," she gives a shallow bow, "Forgive me, Lord Black. I meant no disrespect. I only worry for your son. Forbidding him from using his magic... I fear he might become an Obscurial if this persists."

Sensei (oc) and Orion Black's first clash. Better get used to the snippy-snappy of these two~

Tagged by @glitterandstarshine. I already used my HP fic for Nora's tag, so this one is my DC fic.

From: The Wayne Brothers

The voice suddenly sounds right above me and my eyes flutter open. I'm immediately blinded by a bright sky that looks unusually small and round. I groan, except it comes out a whine. Someone's hand cups my face. Bruce appears, blocking out most of the too-bright light. At this angle, he's haloed by both light and darkness. His eyes, impossibly blue, are wide.

I haven't written an intro post about this wip yet so if anyone's confused: this is a DC fic where an OC os reborn as Bruce Wayne's younger brother (by 7 years). This wip has been in the works for two years and is FAR from finished 😭 at this point, it has my whole soul 👻

Fanfic Intro: Corvids and Magic

↠ I didn't expect to feel kinship with Persephone upon waking up in this world. And yet here I am, walking down and into the coldest, darkest place I know of. Because I want pomegranates— because I want darkness, because I want him.

Genre: Fanfiction

Fandom: Harry Potter

Subgenre: Dark Academia (New Adult)

Warnings: Graphic depictions of violence. Heavy themes such as pedophilia and rape are adressed. A lot of fucked up shit happens, so proceed with caution.

↠ "Ignoring the politics around me is a privilege I'm fully aware of."

Synopsis:

When a woman is reborn as Corvus Uriel Black, the eldest of three brothers and Heir to the Ancient and Most Noble House of Black, she's more than determined to protect her new family. Between surviving strange conversations with a devastatingly handsome Voldemort, playing keepaway with the ongoing war, navigating wizarding court politics, and avoiding the suspicions of Aurors, Corvus, or Corvo as everyone calls him, has his hands full. Add to that; his desire to prove that Horcruxes are curable, his endless curiosity in discovering the limits of Magic, and the very real threat of him becoming an Obscurial should his control over his Magic falter... and you've got yourself a modern tragedy waiting to happen.

Features:

An openly gay poc protagonist in a Wizarding World that is not racist or homophobic. (It's still awfully muggle-phobic and hateful to anyone non-human, though.)

LGBTQ+ and POC characters. That includes canon characters, whose vague whitebread ass backgrounds I've tweaked to suit my taste (which is: More Spice, Please).

Author going batshit on worldbuilding and characterization. A few examples are:

↬ Every Founder has built a special room in Hogwarts. Canonically, we only got two: Chamber of Secrets (Slytherin) and Room of Requirement (? I hc it was Hufflepuff's).

↬ The Black Family has their ancestral seat in Greece. The Malfoys and Rosiers in France.

↬ Walburga, Cygnus and Alphard Black are half-Vietnamese through their mother Irma, who married in, which makes all of their children Vietnamese too. That means Regulus, Sirius (and Corvo) wearing Ao Dai ♥♥♥

↬ Etc...

Heavy, flowery prose. Lots of metaphors, analogies, etc.

Dark Academia vibes.

So here's the first part in series of character templates for my nano project. I'm hesitant to call it a character introduction because I will be posting those in the future. This is more like the wikipedia page of my wip. I use this to keep track of who's who and where and when and what the fuck do they do, I forgot even thought they're my own characters this is my personal wip why the hell do I not remember the name of my main character

QUESTION OF THE DAY: which oc of yours is your favorite to write, and why? tell us about the oc!!

ANSWER: anyone familiar with me knows that I tend to jump from one wip to the other, and consequently, from character to character. Short answer would be: all of them. I don't write ocs that don't interest me. There are characters I dislike and/or don't care about, but I don't count those as ocs, only as cardboard cutouts of people to enrich the setting.

Long answer: Depending on my mood, writing my ocs can be the easiest thing in the world, or a freaking nightmare. Say I'm in an emotional mood, I'll work on Asura: Academy which is military fiction/dieselpunk/dark academia. Say someone made ma angry in real life, my outlet would be House of the Sun, where my ocs tend to say shit like:

"A pretender, a foreigner and a pirate whore." Anakir spits, usually able to contain his thoughts. Wine and the Banir name tended to make him lose the little self-control he possessed. "Who comes after? Those camel-fucking Amtrak?"

And

"Quiet!" I hiss, narrowing my eyes. "Or I will wring your fucking neck, you mad cow."

But by far my favorite ocs to write are the passionate ones. The ones whose hearts burn with such fervor I can feel the heat on my fingertips writing them. I like them, the good and the bad, who speak words that could knock the readers' breaths out of their chests and whose actions leave everyone in their wake with shaky legs and stumbling for a chair to support them.

Hi, Hello, Jell-O

I'm 22, she/her, and not exactly new to the writeblr community. Sinbad Reis is my penname, but (discord) friends know me as Luce. I'm currently studying to become a middle/high school teacher, which has been a lifelong dream for me!

I write fanfiction, (urban) fantasy, science-fiction, paranormal, romance and magical realism. I've only listed the big names but I mostly love the sub-genres (dark academia, historical romance, etc)! I don't like horror or contemporary.

I like tag games, aesthetics, moodboards, story and character intros/posts, and curated playlists. My friends used to call me Memelord and Vinemaster but tbh I haven't been keeping up with the latest shitlords these last months.

I write mainly NA, although sometimes the line is blurred and I slip over to either YA or Adult. Poetry butters my croissant.

My Nanowrimo is: Braves.

I love brainstorming and worldbuilding. I have a lot of wips, some recent, some I've been working on for years. I tend to jump from one wip to another, I follow my heart mostly. It's something I also do with fandoms, social groups and what sort of media I consume. I just can't stick with one thing for very long.

Nice to meet you all! Yes, you can tag me. Yes, you can dm me about your wips. Yes, you can dm me just to chat!

I'll be posting about my wips really soon, so stick around if your curiosity was picked while reading this longass intro!
