WAIT CAN I PLEASE HAVE A CHARACTER WHO IS AN APPRENTICE TO A SHIPMAKER OR TRAVELING MERCHANT SO HE PUNS AND CALLS IT AN APPRENTICESHIP
HAHAHA I LOVE IT
I WOULD LOVE TO SEA THAT IN A CHARACTERUpdate: YOU are the character
i would die within the first five minutes of the novel
not even from magic just from like falling off the side of the boat during my apprenticeship
but it'd be a glorious death
i wouldn't even be salty about it
also yes please lots of girls
too many dudes is boring.
on the subject, what's the general belief system surrounding gender, sexuality, and marriage?
I'm reading the Great Library series by Rachel Caine, and same-sex relationships are TOTALLY normalized? And I have a headcanon that's semi-canon that Glaine is ace/aro because, I quote "Glaine had shown interest in romantic partners of either gender."
But it's totally normal and I LOVE IT
so I think that will be kinda like how it is in my book. And because it's normal there's no angst over not being heterosexual
Marriage….. I'm thinking it's pretty important, so there's a lot of courting in society. Some marriages are arranged, others are just…. hey we're in love so we gonna get married
And generally, sex is reserved for after marriage, and you'll get some judgement if you participate in premarital sex, but it won't ruin you the way it does in like….. medieval Europe

you've lived on the beach your entire life and you can't even swim?
Sarah
I was gonna give you water powers too. Well, your character would have an affinity for them
SPEAKING OF
magical affinities reduce how much you have to sacrifice to learn the magic

very good move
i think it'll make the world more unique, because wayyy too many fantasies center around
heterosexual marriage
which is lame because it doesn't provide a lot of variance

okay i would honestly love this though
although take many artistic liberties with this character because my personality is kinda bland
i like the idea of magical affinities!! it makes magic seem a bit more normalized and not inherently evil
also i gtg for a few hours
im gonna go study w/ a friend
be back laterrr
hEY HEY HEY
What's shaken bacon?

Right??
Also on the hyper-courting culture
I have real liFe ExPEriENcE it's SO much fun love it
so that'll be so fun to write I'll just mock my school's dating culture
also i gtg for a few hours
im gonna go study w/ a friend
be back laterrr
okay bye Sarah ILY
hEY HEY HEY
What's shaken bacon?
Okay so
Fantasy with a great magic system (page 1…. in the old system this thread would be two pages so it's a FAST read)
set in a TROPICAL setting
Okay that's unique I like it
Any specific BrainStorming (BS) you want me to do?
UHHH
okay
so what I have so far….
My protag is male, and he's trying to revert the process of his sister becoming a Nevari.
But really that's all I have plotwise
updates thread title to kinda clickbaity so more ppl come help
Imma be here too
yay!!!
I'm gonna start working on dividing the magic into six categories (page 2 I think?)
NVM it's end of page 1
lol I just realized charms is on the list twice
I have four categories so far:
elemental
human
sympathetic/channeling
and psychic
What else could I do??
I want two more please
What about astral ?
Hmmm
I feel like that's kind of a cross between human and psychic?
Omnipotent. Lol. Just… all da power.
That's true Kat
Lol
Okay
Consider these two
Dark- which has aspects in all other families of magic, but I feel like the counsel needs to have someone specifically dedicated to this
and non-human but sentient life: so like…. animals. And then mythical creatures
That works, what about Auras?
Hmmm
Like… reading auras?
I think that would be a submagic
Not specifically reading auras more like being able to control/change them? Idk if that's the same thing lol
Hmm
I have no idea
but I think that would be really good human magic? Like with healing?
So I have all 6 of my magic families now I think
how's the brainstorming going?
