Everyone Is Just Ignoring That Valentine’s Mother Literally Threatened To Kill Him

My collection of clothing references for writing. 

so, uhm?

when are you dropping the val backstory? I AM STARVING FOR VALENTINE CONTENT

Bro don’t even bring that up 😭😭 It’s moving along much slower than I thought it would (I thought I’d be done by April 😬).

I’m also considering rewriting bits of it to speed everything up and possibly increase its reception. The first half is pre-Rome, so it’s very OC heavy and I don’t know what the response to that will be. I want the story to be good more than anything because once it’s out there, there’s no real getting to start over.

With my pace and the story I have, i haven’t even written Kieran’s death yet. The fic come out at some point. I’m hoping that I’ll have more time now that school is over, but then again, if I force myself to write it, it’ll be a chore and the story will suffer.

Just bear with me please 🫶

(I do have something smaller in the works for him as well to try and out something out. I feel bad taking so long so I want to give you a little treat. That’ll probably come out within the next week or so 🤞)

I wish she who became the sun had a movie or series so I could make edits I have so many in my head my fingers are shaking with the urge to create

Can we just talk about kieran’s handwriting for a second. I imagined him having more of a calligraphy/cursive handwriting

I love how the Kieran Valentine and specifically the Love Spell (Kieran x Spelldon) fandom has flourished in the past few years

Like I remember like 3 years ago looking on AO3 for fanfics and there were two. Only two fanfics, and one of them was in Spanish, and once I finished the English one, i went and put the Spanish one through an online translator so that I could read about kieran Valentine and his never-debuted witch crush

And now, as of December 26th, 2023, at 6 PM Eastern Standard, there are 27. More than 2 dozen. If you read one chapter of each a day, it would take you (yes I did the math) 89 days. 3 months.

Which is 1012% higher than when I started writing

That’s insane. Just in 3 years there’s been so much growth and it’s such a nice little niche

There is no way Valentine is taller than like 5”7” absolutely not

He wears the tallest shoes he can find so he has a small little collection of platform boots and heels, so when he is in public he looks taller. But he takes them off at home and walks around in slippers and he loses like 6 inches in height

Spelldon definitely had to do a double take when he first met him. At school, Val was a little taller, but one time he forgot something and Spells brought it to his house. When Kieran opened the door and his head barely reaches Spell’s ears

AAAAAA OH MY GOODNESS THIS IS AMAZING

I love this so much it’s so beautiful I love the detail on his hair and his clothes and the LIGHTING?? Chefs kiss

Okay so I know Casta is a real name ok it’s own, HOWEVER imagine it’s a nickname. She got it as a child living on Aeaea.

When she was young, her cousins, the Nereids, would laugh and welcome her into their pools when they noticed her. Her babbles would transform one into a small fish. The others would hold her close to their sides, caress her hair, and call her “Casta” after the spells she weaved

When she was older, her mother first showed her the herbs that grew in the soil. Together, they dried and crushed leaves into fine powder before tossing it into the boiling pot. Circe would hold her shoulder, not tight enough to hurt but tight enough to show she was proud. The potion would hiss in her ears, but though it all she heard her mother mutter “Casta”

But she was not “Casta.” She was not whatever “pure” thing they saw in her. She was cursed since the moment she rose from the sea foam her grandmother claimed, her grandfather’s golden touch burning her back and shoulders.

She was Cassiphone. “Brother killer.”

She hadn’t paid her name any mind until another form emerged from the earth. This one, a young boy her mother called “Spelldon.”

And when she first held this small, precious thing, delicately enough he must not have known she was there, she was glad she was “Casta”
