#A Stolen Story

[author-a-holmes]

Okay give me the rundown on Stella because I think I'll love her

*vibrates with excitement*

Okay, okay, okay, Stella is my baby, so I'm afraid, since you asked about her, I might end up drowning you in details.

Accidentally.

Stella is my main character for Stolen. She starts off the book as, what's known in world, as a Jack-Thief. This is a freelancer thief, unaffiliated with a guild, who dabbles in all types of thievery.

(Stolen Spoilers beneath the cut...)

Through plot events, she finds herself alone and in a strange city, and is approached by someone who wants her to steal some documents. They claim the documents belong to them, and that they're just reclaiming property that's already been stolen from them. Stella doesn't quite believe them and refuses the job.

She then finds this same person has broken into her room later that night, and realises this wasn't something she actually had a choice in.

The whole starting inspiration for Stella was I wondered what would happen, how things would play out, if an amature thief successfully stole plans from a guild master, in the very heart of their own guild, and then tried to sell those same plans back to him.

And that's what Stella does. She steals the papers, because she doesn't have a choice, and then tries to trade them back to the guild master she took them from in exchange for help escaping the city.

What my poor baby doesn't know is she's just stepped into the middle of a turf war between two guilds, and escaping the city isn't in any way, shape or form, a possibility. The group she's just betrayed has a network across the land, so there's nowhere for her to run.

The guildmaster offers her protection instead, and she takes it, and that's really the foundation of the plot.

Stella's wonderful to write though, she's truly so much fun, because there's so much dichotomy to her character.

She was raised in a very particular manner that gives her an unusual outlook on the world. Some things she's very worldly about, she's not shocked by sexual advances, or open flirting, or lying, or betraying people... and other things she's been kept very sheltered from. Like genuine caring relationships. Support and positive encouragement. Trust based relationships. Murder and violence.

And while it doesn't come up in the first book, until the very, very, end, and Stella herself doesn't become aware of it until Book Two, there's a very specific reason why she was raised in the way she was.

My other MC for Stolen, Reilly Mosswolf, will spend a great deal of time undoing the damage that's been done by her isolation, and when Stella finally realises how she was manipulated, it may or may not break her, just a tiny bit *evil smile*

And have some gorgeous art I had commissioned of Stella and Reilly, just because you asked about her, and I can't stop sharing this piece. It's gorgeous, and it was done by @knuttydraws

Not to sound like a boomer on main, because I love my phone- I do. But I really miss the day when I could hang out in public without having to hear everyone else's phones. I don't care if there are babies crying (because babies cry sometimes) or if other people are having conversations (because that's what people come to cafes and such to do) but hearing tinny little phone sounds blasting out loud out of their speakers drives me insane. I'm only in my 30's, why are you making me complain about how things were "back in my day" like I'm 80? Public phone noise is prematurely aging me. Send help.

#Complaining #Like an old lady #I'm not I swear #But also- Back in my day #*shakes fist at sky* #It's giving “Old man screams at cloud” #I am the old man #Only Im not a man Im a woman and instead of screaming at clouds im slowly having my sanity stolen by people watching videos on their phones #out loud in public spaces #Can we normalize not doing this? #Use headphones or something #Please- I beg of you #technology #cafe #coffee shop #writing #im just trying to write a fun little story i don't care whats happening on your phone #keep it to yourself

i love how Oak has a little of all his family members in him.

Etiquette and pragmatism from Oriana

Murder mode similar to Madoc's bloodthirst

Definitely Jude's anger

Vain, Charming, Flirtatious like Cardan

Playful like Vivi, Coy like Taryn

With a pinch of lovetalk from Liriope

And ofc, the Greenbriar bloodline from Dain

"It would be safer if I hated him. Since I cannot, perhaps it is good that he now hates me."

You get someone to read The Folk Of The Air trilogy. They start The Cruel Prince. They get shocked that the prince is like, actually really cruel.

It's a canon event. You can't change it. They must go through the true tfota experience

Taryn: I truly believe that water can solve all your problems.

Vivi: Weight loss? Drink water. 

Cardan: Clear skin? Drink water. 

Jude: Want to get rid of someone? Drown them.

What I liked about HOW THE KING OF ELFHAME LEARNED TO HATE STORIES Was how it revealed that one of the things Cardan observed about Jude, was her presence. Her footprint made him contemplate how she could carelessly make the world acknowledge her existence by just existing. And compare it with his own invisibility. How he has to be loud and outrageous to be seen and she can just Walk. It is more complicated than that of course but

I loved that.

please elaborate on the though about stealing a dog post

okay hear me out. and this is for small rural towns specifically. you know when you see that someone has a dog tied out in their yard (unfenced yard) (cute dog) (alone) and it's like a little puppy. and or. clearly a dog that is not meant to be a Yard Dog. like it's a pretty dog of a breed that's like, this is some long-haired fluffy breed of Something that is so not a keep-outside kind of dog. or just a really sweet dog that clearly needs more attention. you know. you know. and do you know when you're like. I could just take that dog....... my city now...... this could just be my dog now...............

#I DIDN'T TAKE THE DOG I'VE NEVER STOLEN A DOG but I don't have. a strong enough moral compass to be completely opposed to it #there's this PUPPY that had me going ohhhh fuck if they leave this dog outside during the night it's over for me #it's like fluffy and softsoft and it looks like some type of small-built herding breed like a border collie or an australian shepherd #and it was so sweet and was saying hi to hugo and getting all up in his face. just a very pretty and sweet puppy #the end of the story is that actually I didn't see the dog later so the puppy in question does get brought inside at least sometimes #which means that my demons have been quieted and I'm not gonna steal a dog #sergle answers #but what is that emotion bc I feel this emotion Frequently #of like I'm gonna steal your fuckin pet. if it doesn't get brought inside is2g
