#AwesomeCharacters The cast of #ChroniclesOfTheRealms has a few of them. In the MC group, Askaly, Kitana, and Mileena are... well, pansexual, really. They all end up with women as their romantic partners, but we do see or hear about their branching romantic interests.

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms

Lesbians. Always lesbians.

And while I welcome all species, I'd especially like more lesbian demons.

Both included in my (to-be-released) work, #ChroniclesOfTheRealms (and my #WorldWithoutLove series is also full of fierce lesbians) :3

#Septopolis 23. Or̉el̉īs, as well as a big part of Āradanū, has a strong tradition of theatre. Called aramuc̉is, this theatre form combines the techniques (c̉is̉aras) of music and dance (aral̉īs) and what they call “personification/embodiment” (“muranam”) aka acting, and it's 🧵

#QueerPrompts 23. Of the MCs in #ChroniclesOfTheRealms, Askaly, Mileena, and Kitana are pan.

Of the SCs... honestly, most of them are pan—the White Lotus monks (except Sonya), Alhamad, Shao Kahn, Taven and Daegon, Fujin, Baraka, Shujinko, Kano. Some, like Kira, are pansexual and panspecies 😅

#WIPSnips 23. "Tumble(d)"

Sareena kills a honest worker.

CW for gore.

#AwesomeCharacters Well, that's certainly not Ashrah. So it might be Nitara, in which case I'd feel comforted. She has good plans, and she doesn't endanger others unless she has no other option, and then she'll do her best to protect me, and I'd certainly enjoy that! 🧵

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms

How kind of Agnes Obel to release a new album that fits Edenia and its characters so well (and there's even a song for Ashrah and Datusha!) 🥰

#SongsOfSeptember 22. I haven't created instruments from scratch (my mind is very much not musical), but I've made some changes to a few existing ones. Mileena's dào chán is an example, which is a modified dan bau from Vietnam.

Most of the instruments we see are Asian* 🧵

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms

#AwesomeCharacters Eternal Flame has six official POVs: Ashrah, Sareena, Nitara, Askaly, Mileena, and Kitana (who wasn't a POV at first but then hit me in the head with her fan and told me to put her in, and the story is all the better now).

They're the main characters 🧵

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms

#SongsOfSeptember 21. Music plays a somewhat important role in #ChroniclesOfTheRealms. With its theme of unity and community, music bridges a gap between different cultures and species.

Some characters also play instruments and use music as a way to express themselves better 🧵

#SongsOfSeptember 20. I have two. This one plays during the "boss battle":

And this one at the end, when shit hits the fan (it's the song that plays in GoW 3 after each god dies, and we see the consequences for the world):

#SongsOfSeptember 19. Ashrah and Sareena's song 💜💙

"Hold on
I’ll carry you
I’ll carry you
My sister
Hold on
It’s time to find the path
Of least resistance
Hope will be
In the light corners
Of the dawn" 🎶

#WIPSnips 14. “Month”

A “cycle” in the Edenian calendar is more or less equivalent to a month, so I’m going with that as the Rose Cycle is just beginning in Ophádûn—though it’s not all roses for Mileena…

(Raphael is a big inspiration for Quan Chi... and Andrew Wincott is also my voice claim for him xD)

#ChroniclesOfTheRealms #EmissaryQuanChi

Hahahaha oh, I don't need to imagine this, those bastards have already mutinied a long time ago. I've already started some of the short stories they'll star in, such as Alhamad's, and have written some others, such as Syzoth's (1st chapter, at least) but... so much to write🧵

#WIPSnips 13. "Distract(ed)"

Not an easy enemy to beat, this one...

#Septopolis 12. Many religions in Seido fall under the umbrella term Aarālūṿism: beliefs founded on Archgoddess Aarālūṿya, who destroyed Nīcaac̉ārīs, Chaos incarnate, to bring Order to the world, sacrificing her own life for it (or did she?).

Different branches 🧵

#WIPSnips 12. "Wedge"

A legend of the #ChroniclesOfTheRealms: here is Shao Kahn in the flesh! (POV is Mileena)

#AwesomeCharacters Well... this is another award for our Extraplanar Bard, Kira Níc Ceanndubháin!

"What about our trickster, Sareena?!" I hear you shouting. Well, she gets second place. Because her humour isn't for everyone; it can hurt sometimes. Besides, while both 🧵

#Septopolis 11. While magic is common in most societies, as I mentioned before, the vanalāras are extremely strict about who’s allowed to study magic and how far they can go.

Everyday citizens (meaning the vanalāras, of course, as alorvu are considered beneath that) 🧵
