I suppose it's less writing, and more world-building and making timetables for the rest of my main characters

Bonus Lore 3: This is probably the best photo I've ever taken.
For context, the kitten (Pumpkin) was gearing up to sneeze right on the mister's face! She has also sneezed on my face.

Been seeing this do the rounds, and I figured why not?
I'll answer them all regardless of likes, etc.
If you do like, I'll share bonus lore I guess?
(this helped distract me from a horrible headache so excuse the onslaught of posts)

Now Elena Price (any pronouns), our protagonist of Dark Waters. An author who goes to the cove to get away from her ex-wife, she soon gets involved in a lot of shit.

The Juniper Wharf series has side-stories, so more queer characters!
We have Niamh Hunt (she/her), the protagonist of Containment. When her town gets overrun by monsters, she is the one to handle it, as a fire user.
Yes she is Jesse Faden coded (basically, a badass), no I don't care.

Lastly (for now), we have Morgan Bassett (they/them)!
They are Ruby's lecturer, and self-proclaimed Champion of Coffee. They end up becoming Ruby's confidant throughout the series.
They often get confused as a student due to their fashion choices.

We also have Amara Sebastian (she/her)!
Amara is based on my high-school best friend (though she isn't bi). Amara's coming out story involves tensions with her more conservative-minded family.
But when she's more comfortable with her sexuality, she's more outgoing and confident.

We now have Charleen Bates (she/her)!
She thought she wasn't interested in sex, but turns out she's repulsed by men. Who knew?
Charleen's a character that I've had in mind for a series since 2012, but not quite as developed as she is now.

First up, Ruby White (she/her)!
She's the main protagonist, and ends up with ice powers! She's openly bi, and ends up being the one to go to when other characters are discussing their sexualities.
Ruby's kinda the person I wish I was or had as a teen.

Last night, I did something that I've been wanting to do so badly since April, I just didn't have the courage to until now.
Life is short, guys.

This was so bad I almost had a sneezing fit after writing it.
I am exercising my free will here, and I will take it.

Not writer things, but I went to an event a local organisation was hosting, and cake.

Cake was 10/10!

5/6) #QueerPrompts
This is why I love having a main cast that are all queer!
I didn't go over it in the snippet but this is Ruby and Amara talking about literature (Amara is an literature student)!

1/6) Oh hi #QueerPrompts! I'm Avery! I'm writing an assortment of short stories, poetry and a longer series! I like to experiment with writing styles and formats!
As for things I'm proud of, I drew the legendary Dugga Doo as a silly emote idea, and I'm stupidly proud!

One of Ruby's lecturers is trans!
Granted I haven't gone much into the lives of the lecturers and their main roles yet, but Morgan and Ruby would bond over coffee, for sure!
Yes, Ruby did assume pronouns!
(yes this is just a rough introduction of Morgan)
