#GodsOfAtalantis:
Definitely Kena! He's very nurturing to both plants & animals. Sadly his kindness toward animals in the past caused him some pain, because his family treated it as a sign of weakness. But that didn't change Kena โค๏ธ

He even gets a pet phoenix after saving her ๐Ÿงต

Two drawings by me of Kena with his pet phoenix Aiaxi.
On the left: young Kena (13yo), a bit with light brown skin, dark brown curly hair & a phoenix tattoo on his left shoulder and chest, wearing a yellow/red skirt, kneels in a green garden & holds out his hand to baby Aiaxi, a tiny little chick with fluffy dark red & grayish-purple feathers, resting on a pile of leaves.
On the right: older Kena (17yo) stands with a serious face holding up Aiaxi on his right arm. Aiaxi is full grown, about the size of a goose with a long flowing tail & outstretched wings; her feathers are golden and red like fire.

Exciting news everyone... IT'S HERE!! ๐Ÿฅณ

Took way too long, but #GodsOfAtalantis (book 1) is now available to buy as a physical book!

2 kids get chosen as the new gods. Sparks fly. Crystals go boom. If you like stuff like ATLA or FMA:B, this is for you ๐Ÿ˜โค๏ธ

#GodsOfAtalantis:

As much as readers might want to slap Mireia sometimes, she also really needs a hug. Many hugs. Especially in Books 2 & 3, my poor girl is gonna go through a lot of bad ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Kena also needs lots & lots of hugs. He has a lot of trauma he's still dealing with ๐Ÿ’”

Ahaha ohhhh yes ๐Ÿ˜‚

#GodsOfAtalantis:

I'm afraid Mireia herself sometimes inspires the urge to slap, though punching would probably be a bit much. Hopefully she's still sympathetic enough that readers can love her even when they want to slap her ๐Ÿ˜‚

But the MOST punchable...๐Ÿงต

#GodsOfAtalantis:

I love Mireia's boldness. She makes a lot of mistakes, but she's never afraid to try or to speak her mind.

I love Kena's resilience. He's a sweet boy who has been through a lot that might make others bitter & jaded, but he continues to be good despite it. โค๏ธ

Ooh many scenes! From #GodsOfAtalantis Book 1, I think I would most love to see the tournament & especially the final battle!

There's also a scene in Book 3 where Mireia leads a bunch of people to take out a villain in a spectacular fashion. I had a hard time capturing the spectacle in words!

For Jasana, I really wanted to find one of Teru from Mob Psycho 100 saying "I'm the main character of this world," but this'll work too I guess ๐Ÿ˜‚

#PretendPanel Sept 12

I would LOVE to actually record my own audiobook for #GodsOfAtalantis! I'm not a great actor or anything, but I could save money doing it myself plus I'd get the accents how I want them ๐Ÿ˜‚

Now if only I had the time & energy... sigh.

I mean personally, Icozoue cracks me up the most because she's so sarcastic & ๐Ÿ’ฏ done with everyone's shit ๐Ÿ˜‚

But I don't know if in the story the characters would agree. Icozoue probably wouldn't. ๐Ÿคฃ

Fantastic prompt today, Charlie!

#GodsOfAtalantis:
Mireia - I don't want to be the Sea Mother.
Kena - I'm not worthy of love.
Icozoue - I don't like kids.
Jasana - I know who I am.
Xa'aba - It's for the greater good.

#SongsOfSeptember 10

I like this song for Jasana from #GodsOfAtalantis. No further explanation will be provided ๐Ÿ˜‚

I think it also could fit pretty well with either Light or Mem in #Charagma, who are both MCs but antagonists to each other.

#GodsOfAtalantis:
Both Mireia & Kena would help pick up the mess.

Mireia would probably yell at them to watch where they're going, then while helping them pick up the fruit get into a whole conversation & end up making friends ๐Ÿ˜‚

Kena would be both more polite & more suspicious,

#SongsOfSeptember 9

Ah, if #GodsOfAtalantis was ever made into a movie or TV series, I would love for Christopher Tin to do the score ๐Ÿ˜

I think he could make something that fit the vibe & was more unique than just "generic fantasy."

#GodsOfAtalantis:
Younger Mireia would turn to her sister Aro or her mothers. When she gets a bit older, she'd turn to Kena or Icozoue.

Chances are Kena is in the shit with her though, so... Icozoue ๐Ÿ˜‚

Younger Kena would expect no help from anyone & try to handle it himself.๐Ÿงต

#Septopolis 8

In contrast to my #GodsOfAtalantis series, I've been extremely handwavy about the language in #Charagma world. Arx Lucis has names in English, Terra Tenebrae has Latin names, angel/demon stuff is in Hebrew, & "charagma" is Greek. Why? Vibes! ๐Ÿ˜…

BUT let's give this some real thought...

#GodsOfAtalantis:

Mireia had zero formal education until she became the Sea Mother. Her family taught her what they could at home, but none of them were educated either, so it was mostly stuff like how to fish & mend her clothes.

After becoming the Sea Mother,๐Ÿงต

#GodsOfAtalantis:

Well Kena's easy, he's reading Plato's Republic! ๐Ÿ˜

Mireia... that's harder. She's the type who has trouble focusing, so she needs something that will really keep her attention. If she could actually understand it, I bet she'd like Dungeon Crawler Carl! ๐Ÿ˜‚

We haven't done a song for #GodsOfAtalantis yet, so this one is for my silly baby gods Mireia & Kena ๐ŸŒŠโ˜€๏ธโค๏ธ

Book 1 Mireia: "I'm never gonna fall in love with him! You can't make me!"
Book 2 Mireia:
