4 types of characters I write:
1: Deeply, fiercely loyal to a few, will shape moral code around their loved ones
2: Melodramatic, catty, kind but not nice
3: Extreme competency as a cover for extreme self-loathing
4: Light's gone out of their eyes, haunting everyone as the ghost of themself

4 characters I write:
1) earnest nonbinary autistic ace reluctant protagonists👀
2) bumbling, big-hearted allies
3) the begrudgingly won-over would-be enemy
4) ethereal eldritch austere and ambiguous beings, possibly in forests (ok, usually in forests)

2 the feminine urge (to go apeshit)
3 dreamy and pathetic engenue, reliably damp, unreliably more than what they seem
4 put-upon but fundamentally sensible midwestern losers. there is a midwest in space and in fairyland. it's a state of mind

He's a ten, but he'll look you right in the eyes and tell you everything is going to be fine while using you as an alibi for a meticulously planned assassination. He probably believed it though.

Realizing a couple of my past (also incomplete) writing projects relied on following an outsider to ease the audience into all the weird with them.
But not this time, we are going from 0 to 100 with Selvarhi's biggest believer and perhaps that is a challenge.

#InternationalAsexualityDay is a time for all of us, in and out of the queer and ace/aro community to remember that queerness transcends sex. That we can envision relationships that do more than centre sex. That intimacy exists in so many diverse forms outside of compulsory sexuality.

The beginnings of rotten little haters to "it's complicated", but I didn't feel like writing the scene at the time.
...and now I gotta do it and hope it's better than my placeholding blurb.

![[Chaixos knows the rituals but performs them perfunctorily. Where is the reverence, the request, the hope/fear/uncertainty that Selvarhi will answer. There is no uncertainty. Selvarhi’s magic lives in him, sings in his veins, he carries it and wields it and breathes it without any question, any thought that one day it might not answer him.

Checking in on my overall word count and wondering how I can be at 71, 908 and also feel like I'm nowhere near to having a book.
So the new plan is to make myself write at least a few hundred words a day chronologically so this all gets stitched together.

The problem with my book isn't that I've stalled out on writing it, it's that my characters don't have playlists.
