During a leadership team meeting in Hell, Lord Satan actually pisses Lucifer off.

I’ll be honest, I identify so much with Virgil this moment always makes me swoon. πŸ˜…πŸ«

Sunny gets to watch Father Time work. Of course he does it in the most silly way possible

Nico has been described as a human emoji, including this specific one

Nico can’t speak, because he’s a skeleton, & his glamour doesn’t give him lungs or lips or tongue or other things needed for speech. But it sure makes great faces

He also only texts emojis

Vocab time! Tell us about some important terms we need to know to understand your magic system. Obviously, make sure you include the definitions! 😁

As usual, interpret the prompt however makes sense to you! Don't feel limited only to conlang words.

At this point I don’t plan any, but anything’s possible. I have to edit this one first 😁
February 4, 2026 at 12:46 AM
Taylor’s past & present is well-defined, but the whole point of his ending is that he could do anything & become anyone
February 4, 2026 at 12:42 AM
Ren feels like an open book, but we know little about what he’s like as a human, so there’s future (& past) stuff to learn about him after the trilogy

Blake grows with each book, so his future also might lead to things readers couldn’t guess about him. His past’s well-understood
February 4, 2026 at 12:42 AM
I feel like we have more to learn about who Lilia is (& not only because I’m still developing her). The way the book ends leads us to believe we don’t know where she’ll go from here
February 4, 2026 at 12:42 AM
I would say Sunny, Jack, Hale, and Nico are going to be well-understood by the end of their books

Evie & Ace are well-understood by the end of the trilogy, but so much more is revealed after book 1 & again after book 2

#AwesoneCharacters
Tell me more about your #AwesomeCharacters

How well do you think people will know your character by the end of their story?

Will they understand everything about them? Or is there an air of mystery around them still? Or maybe they change significantly?

β€œComplex mental gymnastics” could be the series’ title

No, see, that would be too much like he was forcing her to love him. This is just her being one of the regular population who loves him. It’s a fine line

(NVM, she’s drinking tap)
February 3, 2026 at 9:14 PM
Lol, who Ace? The guy who brainwashed the world to get a girl to like him?
February 3, 2026 at 9:12 PM
I haven’t gone into it, but basically kids just find they have certain magic. Like maybe little Lilia takes her mom’s hands and sees her dad, & it’s like, β€œoh, she’s a matchmaker.”

Witch families probably start testing out their kids if they haven’t figured it out by a certain age
February 3, 2026 at 8:48 PM
I think I’ll probably WIPSnip at some point that it’s a prophecy, since I’ve almost done so twice before
February 3, 2026 at 6:49 PM
They’re born that way, but it’s not inherited, per se (except possibly potion witches, which was a specialty that, rumor has it, was created, not naturally occurring).

Neither Lilia nor Nico have the same specialty as either of their parents
February 3, 2026 at 6:48 PM
Lilia gets a lot of pressure for reasons. To her, it seems like everyone must be receiving this pressure

At this point, Ace believes Apollo never died & but he metaphorically rose from the ashes of the teleporter accident to make himself over & become a villain.

What happened & whether Apollo died depends on who you ask & at what point of the trilogy you’re in πŸ˜‡
