Sharing a #WIPSnips from Caer y Môn, my third story in #Raven+Bear.
🎺
I'm so excited for people to meet Sir Myrddin, who is one of my favourite side characters. He's grandmaster of the order of Branwen & trained Sir Corbyn as a squire, which adds a wholesome layer to him and Ata being so similar.

Sir Myrddin, the grandmaster of the Order of Branwen.
🏰
I won't spoil too much because he appears in Caer y Môn. However, this lovely grandpa definitely enjoys birdwatching.

I often use inverted magical realism in #Raven+Bear to emphasise certain things and he is one such recipient.

This #WIPSnips is a loose interpretation, but it is Sir Corbyn looking to the past. Plus it talks about stars! :3
🌃
In #Raven+Bear I use inverse magic realism to emphasise the importance of some people/events/actions. Here, Sir Corbyn imagines asking his late father for parenting advice.

In preparation for Caer y Môn, I need to warn y'all about the spectre of tragedy which looms over Welsh literature.
⚰️
Welsh tales are melancholic, "Branwen ferch LLŷr" is a good example.
⛈️
Caer y Môn delves into the sombre past of Sir Corbyn, so you might need tissues. Sorry.

If I finish editing part 2 of Caer y Môn today, I'll jump back to writing The Lake Hopper. I had some ideas after chatting to my friends about stuff they'd enjoy seeing in the story.🥰

This is a snippet from the final draft of Caer y Môn. Enjoy!🌳

What is Sir Corbyn buying for Ata?🤔

It's something he'll use to teach her. Perhaps a sword, or an instrument, maybe a book? What a mystery!🔍

Thankfully this story is on youtube for y'all to listen to, just check out the link in my bio. I promise its so cute!🥰

My #Raven+Bear stories follow the same two characters, so it's about what secrets they keep from each other.

I don't think they'd do it often. Sir Corbyn is cagey about his past trauma but that's because Ata's very young.

If you want to know more, use the link in my bio.🥺

A staple of #Raven+Bear is a device I call mundane romanticism. Magic realism treats magical experiences as realistic. Inversely, this treats realistic ones as magical.

Sir Corbyn only imagines a conversation with his father. I intentionally mislead you with terms like "conjured".

The editing of Caer y Môn begins.

Synopsis: The pair arrive at their order's home where Sir Corbyn seeks advice from his former mentor; meanwhile, Princess Ata receives a letter from her adoptive mother.

This story rounds off the first branch of #Raven+Bear so get hype!

When writing #Raven+Bear I enjoy using this device. Queen Ifon doesn't literally turn people into animals, but my phrasing contradicts that. Its an inverted use of magic realism where reality becomes marvellous, rather than magic being made mundane.

How fortunate, the last thing I wrote is so fitting for this #WIPSnips. I really enjoy writing for #Raven+Bear because I get to include cute + cosy scenes like this all the time.✒️😊

If you like this pair, I have a link to their stories in my pinned post.🥰🎙️

Pandora: "Imaginary technique, hollow-point trick shot."
Description: Pandora raises her implement Pandemonium & fires a bead of flame into the distance. Then beckons it back with two fingers so that bead curves toward their enemies, carving through them.

All gone.⚰️

So I maybe started a new #WIP

Gonna go back to doing #Raven+Bear tomorrow though, I just started another story for it. We're going to visit "a mushroom village with anti-fungal problems" that was the prompt I was given by someone so yeah, should be fun and silly!

Decided to throw down the premise of a story I've had in mind for a while.

Let me know what y'all think.

Uploading the video now. Is it cheap of me to dedicate the story to my niece for her birthday? A little. In my defence this is the only thing which I (specifically) can do for her. So I'm gonna!

In a choice between a radioactive rainforest full of monsters or England. Wales should choose the rainforest. >:p

This November I'll be starting a new story for my #Raven+Bear collection. This will have Sir Corbyn and Ata on a quest to the kingdom of Clwyd, where a bizarre monster is causing trouble. It should be fun!

Go check out the others if you haven't already!

Just recorded a scene from Proof Heraldic which has me curious. How are your stories political?

#Raven+Bear draws from Welsh history. However, in this story Corbyn and Ata walk through Tryweryn Valley.

I encourage everyone to research the phrase "Cofiwch Dryweryn".

🌿Share your oc and a plant you associate with them🌾

Sir Corbyn matches harebells because they're considered cursed.

Princess Ata is resilient, kind and fierce so holly suits her very well!

If this bad art of them intrigues you, please check out their stories!

Working on a vid for the #Raven+Bear collection, titled Proof Heraldic. It follows Sir Corbyn's pursuit of a false knight and Ata's lessons about Cambria's history.

There's a teaser on my channel for those interested. 🥰
