APPLE - Messy or clean?

BLUSH - Who flusters them most?

For Hélianthe? Need to get inside his head more lol. Studying him in a lab etc

From this ask game !

Also honestly that's so fair. But be warned he might weirdly enjoy being studied.

APPLE - Messy or clean?

Ooh, a weird inbetween. He loves clean and cleaning things.

He's also incredibly bad at it because he keeps forgetting to clean shit up.

So generally you'll see him just get about and cleaning a bunch of stuff at once and then he forgets to clean stuff for a month ? And it's all a mess. And then a for a few hours he gets into a cleaning frenzy and it's spotless. For about. Three days.

BLUSH - Who flusters them most?

Atropa mostly because he doesn't understand why he gets mildly flustered around her compared to literally everyone else. Like, he's a smooth talker ! He almost never gets flustered ! And yet sometimes she'll just exist and he's going to melt into a puddle and he has no idea why.

He, uh, hasn't experienced having a crush/falling in love much.

He's trying SO hard not to let her know he gets flustered, too.

#ask games #hélianthe et atropa #ok i got distracted and forgot to hit post for a bit. but yeah !! hope this helps in your studies of this dumbass weirdo vampire :D

Continuing OC kiss week with something i technically sketched out on paper yesterday, but redrew digitally this morning, aha !

Anne and Atropa, at about 24 years old, when the future looked bright.

Heads up, Seven up !

Wahoo, thanks for the tag @nettleandthorne :D

Tagging : @isabellebissonrouthier, @the-stray-storyteller, @jezifster, and open tag ! Go wild !

Let me... grab the WIP. And translate under the cut. Because it's still in french. lmfao. this SHOULD be 7 sentences if I can count some of them r just insanely long/unclear because this is not edited at all.

Et elle allait le laisser faire, parce qu'il la payait, parce qu'elle ne voulait pas lâcher ce semblant de normalité qu'elle avait arraché à la vie. Même si cela risquait de coûter celle de la duchesse, comme cela avait coûté celle de la famille des jeunes qu'elle considérait presque comme la sienne maintenant, comme il lui en coûtait à chaque fois qu'elle se laissait aller à réfléchir. Elle était couarde. Et malgré la charge de travail qu'elle s'imposait pour oublier, malgré ses doutes sur la possibilité de faire confiance au vampire, malgré ce qu'elle savait de ce que lui et Anne orchestraient, elle était incapable de se raisonner assez pour partir et le laisser se débrouiller tout seul, ou bien avouer toute la vérité à Anne, à quiconque, avant de disparaître. Elle rendait toujours visite à Hélianthe, il semblait toujours heureux de la voir même s'il sentait une nouvelle réserve dans la façon dont elle lui adressait la parole, alors même qu'elle partageait encore son lit de temps en temps. A croire que, lorsqu'elle était avec le vampire, elle était sous l'emprise d'un sort. Possibilité bien réelle qu'elle tentait constamment d'oublier.

And she was going to let him do it, because he was paying her, because she was unwilling to let go of this semblance of normalcy she'd ripped away from life. Despite the fact that it could cost the duchess', despite that it had cost the families' of the teenagers she now almost considered to be hers, despite that it was costing her any time she let herself reflect upon it. She was a coward. And despite the amount of work she forced herself to do to forget, despite her doubts about the possibility of trusting the vampire, despite what she knew of his and Anne's plans, she was incapable of reasoning herself enough to just leave and let him figure this out alone, or to tell the entire truth to Anne, to anyone, before disappearing. She still visited Hélianthe, he still seemed happy to see her even though he felt her more reserved whenever she was speaking to him, even as she still shared his bed from time to time. Almost as if, when she was near the vampire, she was under a spell. A definitely real possibility that she constantly tried to forget.

#hélianthe et atropa #heads up seven up #tag games #oof these run-on sentences. #does the translation sound wonky to you ? do not worry! it also sounds wonky in french. #anyway yeah she's not having a good time !!!!! #:D

Hi. I made a quiz about my characters. :)

#uquiz #:) #hélianthe et atropa #i took it. and it assigned me Hélianthe. I wasn't even trying to get him.

[drawnecromancy]

Working on the lore files for Hélianthe and Atropa as I let the first draft simmer on my shelf; these files are so old Vladimir and Anne don't exist there.

#wild. #hélianthe et atropa

[drawnecromancy]

Rereading your own writing is good for you. I am discovering (rediscovering ?) that Atropa is absolutely hilarious. I love her.

#hélianthe et atropa #i also find very funny that the MOMENT she could provoke the duke by saying stupid shit she did #she literally just politely said 'i'll fuck your wife' at dinner

[drawnecromancy]

Hélianthe et Atropa.

#digital art #art #my art #hm. i didn't render it all the way through i'm not sure i can call this one digital painting #this is a half painted sketch at best #hélianthe et atropa #these two are about the same size I imagine she is sitting down somewhere and he's kneeling. #also remind me to never put Hélianthe in light clothing ever again my man's made of paper HAHAHA

Find the word !

Tagged by @ceph-the-ghost-writer ! Thank you :D

Tagging : @isabellebissonrouthier, @tales-from-nocturnaliss, @queerlilchinchin, @jezifster and open tag ! If you feel like doing this game, do it !

Words I was given : Borrow, Beg, Steal, Manage.

Words I'm giving you : Spiral, Sheer, Cold, Fur.

As usual, I'll be picking around in all of my files, because I'm Like That, and I'll be adding at the end of each passage where they're from.

BORROW

"The wizard turned again to his own work, trying not to stare at the other too much.

This continued for a few days, generally for some hours in the morning, and a few in the afternoons. With permission, he borrowed some books, stating that he’d rather be able to work elsewhere as well. What the prince was doing when not in the wizard’s tower was a mystery, and Velial certainly didn’t want to know. It was almost a week after he started reading, when he was done with the books, that Maran started asking questions." – How the wizard got a lizard

BEG

"He trembled when the sword moved, held by hands he could not see, and begged when it brushed over his chest. The bloody, deformed wolven face drew closer to his, spit and icy water and blood dripping down, the blurry, blue eyes unable to give him a single clue about whether this creature could feel anything.

– Beg again, General, said a voice he had not thought he would ever hear again. Beg and maybe I will consider freeing you.

His own words, thrown back at him a thousand years later. His words that he knew had been lies back then, that he knew were lies now, but he begged anyway. The wolf’s half open mouth twitched, grinned, a nightmare of teeth and cold, and let out a laugh, garbled parody of warmth and humanity. His ears hurt, icy pressure building up, until the sword plunged into his chest, narrowly missing his heart, filling his lungs with blood." – Winter's Rage

STEAL

...surprisingly, none, in any of the WIP files I have. I'll just give you two different ones for "manage" because I have like. A LOT of instances. lmfao

MANAGE

"Anne struggled a little, coughing up some dirt to try to reply something. It tasted bad.

– Aw, you want to defend yourself ?

– What the fuck, she managed to spit out.

Her speech was completely garbled by the dust, but it seemed like Atropa understood anyway." – Meet Cute :3 (Anne/Atropa) [yes that's literally the file's name.]

"How long had it been there, waiting ? How many hours had she devoted to actually doing something useful for both of them while he was useless in his tower, failing over and over at making spells of his own that did not even manage to dampen the effects of the Emperor’s powers ? How easy was it, after replicating the strings, to figure out how the rest of the puppeteering worked, to stop possession from happening ?" – A Realization

#tag games #thank you heehoo ! #the fall of neseah #winter's rage #i REALLY should write more in winter's rage bc it's so. i love Eleanor so much #before dawn : the age of the gods #hélianthe et atropa #i don't have a specific tag for atropa and anne's backstory so im adding them to the general le prix du sang tag #uh ok tagging characters now #maran of neseah #velial telren #eleanor ridgen #the other asshole she's killing doesnt have a tag so who cares <3 #atropa meria #anne de monthaut #the mage #the emperor #(well he's mentioned.) #(but when is he not if Rekiev's involved tbh) #ahhhh this is making me really want to write i think i'm going to go write about it. after i get dressed. #lumeria de vano #(mentioned) #HOW COULD I FORGET TO TAG YOU GIRL #i love lumeria.

Nielle de Fumeterre, or as I like to call him, Hélianthe being a fucking liar.

#digital art #digital painting #art #vampire #fantasy art #oc art #my art #hélianthe et atropa #he's supposed to have brown eyes when impoersonating Nielle but shhhhhhhhh i wanted to draw him with his normal eye color #anyway i'm going to hunt him for sport anyone want to come ? #i'm putting this in the tags bc i don't like writing negative things about my art but : that process was VERY frustrating when i had to #add the colors #so i probably won't try that painting method again.... ? #i don't particularly feels like it's gaining anything from the usual way i do it #if it had been significantly faster i wouldve shrugged and said eh i'll get better at the color thing and be less frustrated with time #but rn i think it's about the same time as how i usually do it so #shrugs!

33 and 47 for the writer asks?

Hewwooooooo :) Questions are from this ask game !

33.  Have you ever killed a main character?

I almost said "define main character" but. Real answer, there's several stories where I'd planned to kill a main character but never actually got around to writing the thing, so they're not really dead now are they. (off the top of my head : Vincent in Break of Dawn, Val in break of dawn if his dying-but-not-really shtick counts ? but if this counts then it also counts for his entire life, and also for Rekiev and Thelevna, Medrel in their TES fic)

47.  Best way to procrastinate

Drawing LMFAO

I have messaged a friend with "drawing is just like writing, riiiiiight ?" so many times. One time I sent that message with this sketch page :

teehee. i love them

#hélianthe et atropa #ask games #thanks for the aaaaask :D

WIP questions tag

Tagged by @leotheponderer, thank youu :D

Rules : Answer as many (or as few) of the questions about your WIP as you can.

I'm going to answer these for (spins wheel) Le prix du sang.

1. What was the first part of your WIP that you created?

The skeleton of the first chapter... out of a weird ass dream I had one time.

2. Who are your favourite character(s) and why ?

Hélianthe because he's incredibly annoying but I am in love with him. I need to punch him in the face and hunt him for sport. I'd let him bite me. Etc.

3. What has been your biggest struggle while writing your WIP ?

Consistency, lol. Both in how often I write and how much I write. I am cursed with can't concentrate disease and while meds helped with trying to write once a week, it still. Wasn't as much as I would've liked to. That and school doesn't help at all.

Also not making characters better than they are supposed to be, because they're all supposed to be assholes, but because I liked a secondary character, I started trying to give them morals or whatever. Thanks, Anne de Monthaut, for making my life harder.

4. Are there any animals in your story ?

Horses, sometimes.

5. How do your characters get around ?

Horses, mostly. And feet.

6. What part of your WIP are you working on right now ?

None, technically ! I've finished the first draft and am taking a break as I research some things for believability. I'm not making historical fiction, so I don't NEED to be historically accurate, but I want my story to be cohesive and believable, you know ?

7. What aspects of your WIP do you think will draw people in?

Hopefully ? The inherent shenanigans of terrible people doing terrible things for the audience's pleasure. They're all assholes. It's incredibly funny.

Also maybe the fact that both of the romantic leads are bisexual or something but I don't particularly intend to make this a selling point; it's going to be there whether people are prepared or not.

Under the cut : the original 9 questions; including the few i haven't been able to answer. Also the people I'm tagging.

1. What was the first part of your WIP that you created?

2. If your story was a TV show, what would the intro song be?

3. Who are your favourite character(s) and why?

4. What other pieces of media could share a fan base with your WIP?

5. What has been your biggest struggle while writing your WIP?

6. Are there any animals in your story?

7. How do your characters get around?

8. What part of your WIP are you working on right now?

9. What aspects of your WIP do you think will draw people in?
