I really, unfortunately, cannot explain it but R's birth name seems so fitting for him <3 it's a pretty name
No it really is. His full name is Roland Everett Blakesley and it just. It's so perfect. He's Roland. He is! Idiot.

Im...sorry it's not original, but now that you brought all these questions up (https://www.tumblr.com/sleepyowlwrites/752120356487168000/you-lot-should-be-quizzing-me-on-my-stories-and?source=share)
Can you please answer them?
I wanted to ask you to share fun(or sad, or funny etc) facts about your stories but didn't wanna pressure you TT
Have a wonderful day regardless!! ♥️♥️♥️
The post with a working link
And the answers to the questions asked:
1. R stands for Roland. He doesn't like his name, so he started going by R, which is like, so dumb, my guy, but R is dumb, so it fits. Eventually it just sounds like his name, which, to him it is.
2. R and Mark are fighting because *inhales deeply* R has a mortifying ordeal of being known complex while simultaneously having need to be seen and acknowledged complex, and Mark got invited to the friend group by Daniel but then proceeded to kinda ignore R's existence, which is not okay! And he got all dramatic about it, and then Mark, who lowkey has a self-destructive thing going on due to his healing superpower (oh yeah he has that) so he makes it physical and R is lowkey self-destructive due to his middle child pseudo-parent arrogance thing he's got going on and he also makes it physical and then the friend group is like please stop, this is so stupid, and then they stop being physical about it for their friends but they're still being stupid and being verbally abrasive to each other until gradually they can't find any reasons to keep going with that and then they stop fighting. And then it's awkward! Yay.
3. Rune's ex-fianceè was abusive and controlling and he orchestrated her parents' deaths! Jail, jail for Max for ten thousand years or maybe just like, fall off a bridge or something. ☠️@$%!💀%!#☠️?&!#@💀#!?@ (Asterix cursing, lol)
4. The phantom thieves are after a map that leads to a famous treasure, they hope, and stealing the bride will get them closer to securing it. I invented the idea before I knew anything about one piece but now that I know things I realize the vibes are... well they're similar to the live action show, anyway.
5. Rhea does not know who her father truly is, which is an important plot point but also I feel fairly obvious from certain angles. This is the only thing in this list that I don't want to tell you. I don't even have major ambitions about summon story. I just want to keep this spoiler tucked away until I make myself write the actual plot.
And there you go, here are the answers. I guess I do remember some stuff about my stories.

you lot should be quizzing me on my stories and characters. asks more like test questions. "What does R stand for? Why are he and Mark fighting? What did Rune's ex-fiancee do to make her hate him so much? What are the phantom thieves gonna do after they steal that bridge, did you ever figure that out? Does Rhea know who her father is?"
you know. do I remember stuff about these stories I haven't been writing. do I? do I??

...it could be both, you know. maybe I edit it because I deserve to read the better edition of what I did certainly write for me.
the issue with writing for yourself is that you will get sucked into rereading your own fic over and over and pretend it’s “editing,” but really you’re just reading because it’s exactly what you want to read. because you wrote it. for you.

"not that much of your hair grows in white" yeah okay but right here it certainly does
all those lighter streaks? they're white hairs.
played with the contrast and such a bit to better highlight the difference. some of my roots started coming in white when I was 19. I got my first greys at 17 and that's when I started coloring my hair. I feel no shame about these little guys. It's not my fault they're there. I just don't wanna look at them.
anyway hi guys I am still alive, just melting in the humidity and getting even less sleep than I usually do. *slinks back into the mists*

Do you still write for youth and city stories? I miss your characters TT they felt so comforting and familiar somehow
Well I pledged to finish the city story first draft this year, so presumably i do. The issue has been that I've been dealing with bad brain times, which makes writing in general and writing original fiction specifically difficult. I think about them, tho. I've been thinking about both stories recently, hoping I can finally write something new for them.

Good God I have so many characters in Dragonmarked. These are from the main three and a half plotlines. I'll reblog with the bonus characters
