@professoremily.bsky.social#GodsOfAtalantis:
Mireia - Results, but it depends. Break someone else's rules? Yes, she'll do that for fun. Break her own code of morality? That she's less willing to do... usually.
Kena - Honor, but he's also good at getting results.
Icozoue - Honor, mostly
Xa'aba - RESULTS!
@professoremily.bsky.socialHi #LitHodgepodge! These are mainly instrumental choices for the main scores.
#GodsOfAtalantis - Christopher Tin, best known for his work on the Civilization games ❤️
Another great choice would be Ramin Djawadi aka the Game of Thrones guy
@professoremily.bsky.socialIt's not mentioned in the story but I always draw Mireia with hoop earrings & an ankle bracelet (when I can be bothered to draw her feet lol). She is a very Jewelry Girl. She also has a simple seashell necklace that was a special gift from someone..
🧵
@professoremily.bsky.socialOk Pam I'm gonna copy you and post 2 snips 😂
The first is from #GodsOfAtalantis Book 2, close 3rd person/Mireia's POV. Second is Noah's 1st person POV from #Tenement.
When I really lock in to Mimi, I feel like I go for a strong flowy rhythm that's a little unpredictable.🧵
@professoremily.bsky.socialOh Charlie you made this question just for Mimi & Kena 😂
Mireia's plans usually don't get more complex than "Want thing, find way to get thing" 😂 Luckily she's good at improvising, though sometimes she makes choices in the moment that she later regrets...🧵
@professoremily.bsky.socialMy queen Icozoue plays the archetypal role of the Mentor for Mireia & Kena in #GodsOfAtalantis.
She's there to train them to become gods & push them in plot-directions when needed, & also offer emotional support (esp in the later books).
She's also a grouchy alcoholic with RBF 😅
@professoremily.bsky.social#GodsOfAtalantis:
Jasana desperately wanted something, & was told for her whole life she was certain to get it... only to have it stolen by someone she believed was her friend. 😭
Also she's just a teenager being heavily manipulated, so I think that earns her some sympathy.
@professoremily.bsky.socialMy goober bbs Mireia & Kena from #GodsOfAtalantis ❤️
Mimi's already good at swimming, & Kena has a few hobbies (gardening, writing, flute-playing). So what else might they be good at?
@professoremily.bsky.social#GodsOfAtalantis: Mireia, my little chaos gremlin ❤️
#Tenement: YA KNOW... I was gonna say Kazuo, but he mostly talks about doing crazy stuff. Noah actually does it 😂
#Charagma: Hmm... I may change my mind once I actually write the story, but I think probably Julius.
@professoremily.bsky.socialGood morning friendos!
The language mainly used in my #GodsOfAtalantis series is Na'aqal. It's the native language of the people of Atalantis.
I'm cheating because I've already developed this language A LOT 😅 But doing all that work was what inspired me to make this game for others!
@professoremily.bsky.socialGood morning I'm Emily 👋 I write YA/New Adult Fantasy & Dystopia. Mostly. For now. Current WIPs are the #GodsOfAtalantis trilogy (YA fantasy), #Tenement (YA dystopia), & #Charagma (NA dark fantasy).
Oscrow Wilde! 😄❤️
Ok but what if the laughter is how you get to the tears, Pam?? 🥺

@professoremily.bsky.socialKena writes a whole day where he gets to hang out with Mireia, she tells him he's cute & they make out, and nothing bad happens.
Book 1 Mireia - she runs away in a ship with Toctha, they have a bunch of heroic badass adventures & make out.
Book 3 Mireia... 🧵
@professoremily.bsky.socialThanks for hosting Niki, this was fun!
My debut novel #GodsOfAtalantis is available to buy in ebook or paperback - first of a trilogy about 2 kids chosen as the avatars of the gods on an island headed for doom: www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-gods-o...
My other WIPs include...🧵
@professoremily.bsky.socialWelcome back Charlie! 😊❤️
#GodsOfAtalantis:
Mireia isn't patient AT ALL, & if she's forced to wait she will quickly get restless & probably start looking for some way to Kool-Aid Man out of the situation.
In contrast, Kena is very patient & can keep focused on long-term goals.🧵
@professoremily.bsky.socialMireia's favorite place is any beach, but especially her favorite cove in her hometown of Habuuket. It's where she feels free & can forget about the world.
For Kena, it's his garden. Caring for the plants gives him purpose, and he finds the process peaceful & meditative.
@professoremily.bsky.socialMe, procrastinate? Neveeeerrrrr 😂
@professoremily.bsky.socialI'd say Mireia & Kena are both a complicated mix of sometimes accurate, sometimes not...
Mireia is bold, blunt, stubborn & attractive, and she knows it - not in a conceited way but an honest way. She'll be self-deprecating sometimes about her bluntness, but 🧵
@professoremily.bsky.socialFor #GodsOfAtalantis Book 2, there's a scene where several newly freed slaves come out in the streets to celebrate their emancipation, & THE SONG OF FREEDOM from Doctor Who is ~the vibe~
"You've changed the world, Sea Mother" 🥹😭❤️❤️❤️
@professoremily.bsky.socialYayyy #AwesomeCharacters happy Bi Day!
#GodsOfAtalantis:
High Priestess Xa'aba, who once had a long relationship with her fellow priestess Icozoue (💔) and is currently in some kind of relationship-ish thing with [Redacted Male Character] (🤮)
Both equally toxic. But surely not because of her!!! 😂
@professoremily.bsky.socialMireia's first impression is usually: loud, blunt, has an attitude but uses it for good (usually). She tends to be very memorable, & people either come away wanting to be her friend or feeling annoyed by her 😂
Kena's first impression is reserved, thoughtful,🧵
