— IRONBLOOD character introductions

Basil "Baz" Vaughan

The son of a human man and a mysterious fae woman, Baz is halfblooded, with just enough iron in his veins to keep him solidly in the human world. Estranged from his father, he makes his living as a sex worker, until his attendance at a party end with him being kidnapped to the Seelie Court.

Mellare Torvirn

Neither the eldest nor youngest of the King's daughters, Mellare both wants the power that comes with the crown and freedom. When she leave the Court to play as Fae Bride for a time, she meets Baz, and when her father sends a retinue to bring her home, she insists in taking Baz with her.

Rhisvel Ianmaer

The ambassador to the Unseelie Court, Rhisvel is an important, almost untouchable person. After all, the peace between Courts is delicate. When he meets the newest halfblood in court, Baz, Rhisvel is instantly captivated by him. But as the princess's pet, Baz is untouchable himself.

💗 WIP Wednesday 💗

Here's an excerpt of my FFXVI fic with the Bastards surviving the events of the Nysa Defile. This is from chapter 2 that I'm currently translating into English.

Fortunately, their trail is uneventful, with no Ironblood in sight. However, Tiamat notices something following them and could even sometimes hear soft footsteps. It has been observing them for a moment. Tiamat gestures to get Aevis's attention. Cidolfus and his henchman seem unbothered. Has the strategist really not noticed anything? Strange… unless it was planned. Showing any signs of hostility towards the creature might alert Cidolfus, though, and would likely get misinterpreted. "We're being followed… by some creature," says Tiamat while trying to gauge the man's reaction. "Oh, I was wondering where he went. No need to worry, he's a friend." Cidolfus cocks his head to the side, then shouts: "You can come out, boy." As soon as the words are out, a shadow manifests from higher ground. A silvermane wolf lands right in the middle of the group. Tiamat and Aevis take out their swords by reflex. Biast almost drops Wyvern from his grip. The four legged beast growls and looks ready to pounce on anything that might move wrong. "Heavens! At ease," scolds Cidolfus. "I said he's a friend!" Tiamat stares at the wolf for a moment, hesitant as to its intention, but then finally puts back his sword at his hip. Aevis does the same. The creature adopts a more relaxed position as well, then turns its head towards Biast who was readjusting his grip on Wyvern. The wolf walks to him. "G-guys……" Biast's voice goes up an octave as his eyes grow wider. "It's not going to eat me, right?" "He's not a man eating wolf, well, not that I've seen anyway…" shrugs Cidolfus. "That means f*ck all !!!" Biast looks positively panicked. The beast growls with a threat, making the soldier freeze on the spot. It waits a few seconds before relaxing again, then circles around him. It sniffs his legs, then Wyvern's. Then, all of a sudden, the wolf starts whimpering and wagging its tail like a dog. It circles around Biast anew. "What does it want!?" whines Biast. "Good question." Cidolfus grows silent while seemingly reflecting on the situation. "Let's… hum…" starts the man before facing away, half coughing. " Let's resume our walk, shall we?" That wasn't a chuckle just now, was it? Biast is left dumbfounded. He turns to his sergeant with a pleading look. Tiamat tries to come closer to them, but the wolf shows its teeth right away. The two stare at each other, then Tiamat backs away with his hands raised as a sign of peace. The creature calms down. "Sorry, but you'll have to get accustomed to it," says Tiamat before pushing onwards. Best to keep his distance to avoid upsetting the wolf further. Aevis whispers an apology. Not even a few seconds later, Tiamat hears a distressed "Go fetch!", then gets hit by something. He turns around abruptly. "Biast…" Tiamat glares at the soldier when he notices a branch on the ground. Did he throw a f-ing stick at him!? Biast's eyes widen at the realization. "I panicked, okay!? Had to try something!" tries to apologize the soldier. The sergeant sighs loudly. Getting mad over whatever this is would be a waste of time, and so he starts walking again. "Waiiit!" pleads Biast, but this just makes Tiamat walk faster. "Come back! I'm sorry!"

[xiaofiaan]

The land of Faerie was vast.  Islands upon islands of different biomes and terrains.  I... wasn’t expecting anything like it.  Each court had it’s own pros, each had it’s own cons.  The Winter Court was set in complete cold and snow for Spirit’s sake!  It wasn’t like anything I’ve ever seen before...

Mountains held together by vines, towns inside and around cliff sides, training ground bustling with faeries of all different species.  Each town was different than the last.  Some had homes made of clay, others were as tiny as the palm of your hand and made of flowers, and some were simple huts near the sea.    I could go on and on.  The people were as different as the cities too.  Some had wings, other’s had cloaks of scales.  Each faerie seemed to belong to the environment itself.  Of course, there were different ones, like me, but there was never too many.

I visited each Court, but even then there was so much.  People talked of a lost Court, a lost place not accessible even here in another realm.  There was also talk of an old abandoned island.  The Ghost’s Descent, they called it.  Never had the balls to go see what was up there. 

I do wonder though.

- Deirn, a traveler who accidentally wound up in Faerie.

hi.

this took me three hours.

i’m going to pass away now <3

Character Interview Tag

Rules: Pick a character from your WIP, and have them answer these 15 questions, then tag 15 people!

Tagged by @namelessscribe. Thank you for the tag, this was really fun!

This interview is off-record, conducted by her little sister, because that’s the only way I could get Ironblood to talk. I changed some questions for wording and applicability, because why not? Check out other’s versions to see the usual format!

#: Question Naddie asks (original question)

1: What is your full name?

Cealia Phoebe Iron, codenamed Ironblood.

2: What does your full name mean?

I was named after the woman who introduced Mom to Dad—that’s Cealia. It’s a different spelling of Celia and means ‘blind.’ I think Phoebe means ‘sunshine.’ Dad chose it, so it’s probably something cool. Oh, and Ironblood—I pull metal from my blood. I don’t know what the metal is, so I just used my last name.

Looks like Phoebe means ‘bright, pure.’ Where’d you get ‘sunshine?’

Uh, places.

3: What are your other names/nicknames

Oh, if you’d let me see the script I would have saved Ironblood! Well, you call me Leah.

What does your secret boyfriend call you?

I don’t have a secret boyfriend.

You’re turning reeeeeed!

Naddie! I thought this was supposed to be a professional level interview.

4: What’s your gender?

Female.

5: Is it possible that your secret boyfriend is instead your secret girlfriend? (What’s your sexuality?)

Like I said, I do not have a secret date. But I’ll assume you’re asking what my sexuality is, and that’s villians. Kidding kidding, I’m straight.

Hahaha, you can’t hide from me! I know you have a thing for villians. Why?

Well uh. Hmm. Heroes are way too realistic. Villians tend to have bigger ideas, and are willing to sacrifice anything to achieve those. Heroes mostly just see cleaning up the world as their job. Also they wear black.

6: Where are you from?

I was born in the capital—grandpa Iron’s house, to be specific. Raised in this very city. The Skyfoam area.

7: How old are you?

Twenty-three. Or is it twenty-two?

You’re twenty-four.

Whoops.

8: What’s your power? (What is your magic form/what species are you?)

Taking metal from my blood. Like this! No one can actually tell what this is, though it can look like Damascus steel. I can also pull all metal in through my skin.

9: What’s your hero outfit? (What does your human form look like?)

I didn’t really modify the uniform like other heroes. There are pins I keep in my uniform though, and some I keep next to my skin so I can soak them up in case of emergencies. Nothing except your embroidery.

10: What’s your aesthetic?

You mean everyday wear?

That, and like, how you decorate your room.

Ah, well! I like clean, modern lines and a monotone color scheme. Most of my jewelry is silver. I prefer to keep by hair in a bun, and usually have on a casual black or white shirt with gray or black pants. You’ve embroidered most of my stuff with faux-silver thread. The only bit of color in my life is a big pink spot where you are!

11: Who’s your best friend?

You!

Cheater!

Come on, who else would it be?

Uh, your secret boyfriend?

You mean my nonexistent boyfriend?

12: Would you ever get a piercing/ tattoo?

I have my ears pierced, if that counts. But no, not in my line of work. New tattoos can be sensitive, piercings can be yanked.

13: When are you happiest?

When you wake me up with breakfast! It’s so cute, we talk while we eat, and then I get to be lazy for like, a whole hour. Heaven.

14: What’s your biggest secret? Besides your secret boyfriend.

That’s . . . that’s tough. But since it’s you, I’ll spill. The whole way the government runs our office is, uh, a little sketchy. It’s not corruption. It just seems incompetent, and cheep. I have to wonder if they really know what they’re doing, giving us power and few paychecks, and almost no overseers. But don’t mention that to anyone else, okay?

15: What was your first impression of me?

That’s actually my earliest memory. You were so cute! Mom told me I’d been jealous of you before then, but after I saw you I was just as obsessed as our parents! You’re still adorable.

Cealia!

What? You are!

Anyway! What was your first impression of Truthteller?

Well, I don’t remember what my first impression was. I was probably too focused on the fight description to care much about who was doing it. I probably thought he was a good fighter. But the first thing I remember thinking about him specifically was that—that was the way. That’s how I was going to provide for you and Mom.

Awww, your eyes went soft! Celebrity crush?

Naddie!

And here’s the part where I tag people. Only if you want to, please! And if someone just trolling my blog wants to do it, act as though I’ve tagged you!

@rrrawrf-writes, @rktho-writes, @writingonjupiter. I’d tag more but I don’t know who wants to talk about their characters and who doesn’t!

hi

after 73 years i have finally decided to upload something that is wip related <3 intro is right here

EDIT: I WAS MISSING TWO SLIDES AND I DIDN'T REALIZE IT MY BAD GUYS

ironbloods taglist:

[snowinks]

spear, penknife, and shotgun? :00

I'll do this for ironbloods yippee:)

spear: what is at the heart of the story?

love between siblings and family and just how far one is willing to go if the other is in danger... also the idea of fate too:)

penknife: which of your characters is best at keeping secrets?

this seems like a very obvious answer but eden and xiǎo hé but in very different ways. eden has lived longer and has the ability to lie. however xiǎo hé has gone through so much that he knows what to say and what not to say. where eden keeps an air of mystery and purposeful secrets for fun of the game, xiǎo hé keeps secrets because he doesn't know who to trust

shotgun: if characters die in the story, who has the most dramatic death?

god i can't answer this without spoilers HAHSHANRNW but realistically other than major spoilers it's most definitely quincy. girly goes out screaming in the most gruesome way and deserves every little bit of it

#THANK YOU you reminded me that i forgot to answer these WBFJSJFJNS #<33 #wip: ironbloods #asks

Last line

Rules: Post the last nine lines, written or drawn, of any WIP or content. Fanfic, meta, sketch.

Thank you @riinoaheartilly for the tag! 💖

I've finally started translating in English my FFXVI fanfic for the Bastards live AU I posted recently in French on AO3.

Scenda, if you see this, thank you for reading my fic. I'm translating it for you 💖

"You have got to be kidding!" shouts Aevis on the other side. "The old trails are gone. It'll be hell finding our way out. "It's that bad? I mean, so long as it slows down the Ironblood…"  Biast finally gets out of passageway and heaves a sigh of relief. "Are you two done yapping?" Tiamat had started crossing. "Focus on finding the Dominant." Biast looks around and understands what Aevis meant. The landscape was in a sad state, worse than earlier. The group was most likely approaching the epicenter of the battle, which was a good thing. The only issue though, there was no clear path ahead with all the giant icicles and rock projectiles littering the place. The ground was fractured at numerous places, and Biast could hear the ice cracking menacingly under the desert's scorching sun. It would only get more dangerous as they go. And all those corpses, Dhalmekian and Ironblood alike, that were either splattered, crushed or pierced… The bloody mess was terrifying.

💖 WIP Wednesday 💖

What do you mean it's thursday already? It's WIP Wednesday today too. I decided it. The week said ok, well sort of... xD

Anywho, another excerpt I quite like from my translation of chapter 2 of my Bastards live AU fic.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen. We've yet had the opportunity to chat." The three men stare at Cidolfus in silence. "While we don't have much left to walk, we'll soon step into a region that's… well-" "The Deadlands?" interrupts Tiamat. "We know." But the attempt at cutting short their conversation fails, as the strategist seems determined to still engage with them… "Perfect. In this case, you won't mind me calling for setting up camp. I can't, in good conscience, have you venture into the Deadlands by nighttime, not after the day you've gone through. On that thought, how are you faring? Any injuries?" And he seems determined to "help" them… "Thank you for your concern, but we're good," retorts Tiamat. "You've battled against the Ironblood and a Dominant. That's no small feat. I'll leave some ointments here. Take whatever you need." Cidolfus holds their gazes for a few seconds, waiting for a comment or a question. Aevis stealthily nods. A smile readily comes back to the strategist's face, then the man withdraws. Only when the strategist looks occupied does Aevis finally pick up one of the vials and examine its content and its label. He checks everything, then hands over one to Biast. "For your good cheek. Now that I think about it, you really were lucky you scrapped this side instead of the other." "Ah…" Biast lightly touches his brand and laughs nervously. "So, what's this you're giving me?" "Looks to be a disinfectant, or so it says on the label, and the smell." "And you'll be using these?" questions Tiamat, annoyed. "He did say we could take whatever we need," calmy responds Aevis. "I hope you're not trusting his words," seethes Tiamat. "Because these gestures are never free of charge? I am aware…" But then something lights up in Aevis's eyes. "What if he was different?" "Like the rumors suggest? Do I need to remind you how they twist reality." Disappointment seeps through Tiamat's features. "I thought you were more logical…" "I am being logical here," cuts Aevis. "If he wanted us dead, we would be, and you know it. But have you seen the way he treats the Dominant? His companion? Wyvern, even? Have you caught as much as a whiff of bloodlust from him up to now? Sure, he could be an expert at manipulation, but…" Aevis sighs. "I don't know… Just this once…" Tiamat holds Aevis's shoulder as a sign of understanding. "Sooo… Can I use the thing or not?" asks Biast after a moment, the vial still in hand. Silence. The soldier stares at the both of them, visibly waiting for an answer. Aevis turns to Tiamat, eyebrows raising. The sergeant shakes his head in defeat. Goddess'… "Do what you want," growls Tiamat, "but don't come complaining if your face gets swollen." Tiamat stands up and walks away from the two men before he can blurt out a comment he would regret. That Cidolfus had quite the charisma. This was getting dangerous. The more time they will spend around him, the more time he will have to mendle in their thoughts. It was time to put a stop to this charade before it's too late.

7,9 and 22 hehe💕💕

7. what books have shaped the way you think about writing the most? why?

GUH like 0(-( six of crows (how i write building tension, heists, etc), the illuminae files (DEF plot twists and sci-fi), gtn (imagery) were certain books or series that helped shape my own writing :0

on earth we're briefly gorgeous, TGCF, the water dancer, and several of my friends' wips (revolution retribution (@stormharbors), godsong and quark (@goose-books), the originals (@inkbloomer)) have all made me think a bit differently about my writing and how to shape it!!

9. what are you best and worst at when writing?

oh man 0(-(

I'm best at writing character dynamics i think<3 or scenery! as for worst... man probably dialogue. i always feel like I struggle most when it comes to dialogue 💔

22. how much of your own self/experiences do you believe pours into your projects? if this differs per project, which projects have the most and least of you?

Ironbloods: a lot, i think. I've had this wip for *years* — 3-4 as for a similar and solid plot, but far more when it came to the characters. I've had kiraan since i was maybe 7, and a lot of my experiences have bled into him and it's so weird seeing Myself being written on a page

Keyless Hearts: definitely a bit too. this project is super personal to me in the sense of a lot of my own issues are presented in the wip itself, but also the hope of healing from it too.

Firefly: this wip is a bit more recent and still very much in development, but there are a few characters I've attached to and shared a little bit of myself there

[ID: a photo of two hands reaching towards light with edited text. it reads: navigation — snowinks. end ID]

been meaning to remake my nav post for ages now 😭 so here it is! I'm jack/gwen; I'm a trans, disabled author; i go by any pronouns, really, and here are my wips:

[ID: an edited photo of a dark forest. there's a person on top of a horse in the center, next to a campfire that is barely visible. the title, "ironbloods" is edited onto the photo in all caps. end ID]

IRONBLOODS | drafting

Two siblings—one: a boy who doesn't know who or what he is, and the other: a girl in love with the very thing that brings her danger. Both, hybrids of humans and faeries, and both, considered dangerous by faeries and people alike, for the powers they possess and the thoughts they believe.

So, when his sister is stolen away from the world they've always called home, Kiraan needs to figure out just who he is, what he wants, and if he's as dangerous as everyone believes him to be.

[ID: an edited photo of a sky just before sunset. the tops of rooftops are shown, and there are several blimps in the air next to the sun. the title, "keyless hearts" is edited onto it. end ID]

KEYLESS HEARTS | re-outlining

Oraen and the Underkeep—two very different cities ruled under the same people. Rich and the poor, the remembered and the forgotten. An unsteady peace with bitter anger rising to its ranks in the form of venom and despair.

And when Niko—a man with one too many secrets trying to survive in the wrong place—starts experimenting with what science and magic can really do, that thread finally snaps apart.

War is only the beginning, and it's not just one of guns and knives.

[ID: a photo of a cityscape overrun by nature. edited onto it is the title: "firefly — a mourning sun". end ID]

FIREFLY | outlining, drafting

There's something wrong in the town of Wormwood, and that—that's a cliche sentence in and of itself, isn't it?

It's true, though.

A lab hidden deep in the forest; children disappearing in the meer hours of the morning to late evening; monsters that were once people staggering about, fungus sprouting like it belongs there and always hidden—

A girl without any memories or heartbeat, dirt and blood covering her skin, surrounded by people she's never met.

And that's not where it begins, but that's where the story starts.

#jack.txt #*mine #navigation #wip intros #whoop hi guys

[snowinks]

1, 3, and 20, please!

ROMANNN hey:) tyyysm

1. give short descriptions of all your current WIPs.

Ironbloods: after my sister gets taken to the faewild, i go on a hunt to find her. except, i also manage to find a lost king and a soldier—and sort of fall in love with them. AITA for wanting to stay here instead of going home after?

Firefly: my best friend went missing and in our attempt to rescue them, we found a walking dead girl and some ancient gods—advice?

Keyless Hearts: my not-really-son (26M) has been tinkering with magic while the guy in the city below (??M) has attached himself to him. how do I tell him that said guy is actually someone he's known since childhood?

3. what makes you love writing?

when everything you've dreamed of comes together!! it takes a while, of course, but when ideas stitch and scenes become written... it's satisfying:3 and just... creating characters too and seeing them evolve yk? i love i love

20. where do you begin a WIP? ex: a mood, a scene, a certain character dynamic, etc. does this differ per project?

usually it's characters!! I'm a character creator first and foremost tbh but once the character is created, it's a world, then scenes, then dynamics. however it does differ a little bit per project — by mood mostly!! that ties into world:)
