Before you go “mY aRt sTyLe iS dIfFrEnT tHoUgH” you can moderate it and play around with your style to get it to fit.

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 🤞)

Valentines real accent is definitely a MESS

He’s been everywhere a million times, and every time, the language is different. He definitely merges them and his real accent picked up traces of nearly everywhere he’s been. He uses the southern one often (even when he doesn’t need to) just because it’s easier for everyone else

The real one comes out when he’s tired, or cranky (which is quite often), or when he’s talking too fast, or not paying enough attention to it to fix it

Spelldon loves it. He loves the stories it tells of places he was never allowed to go. Of eras and cities and empires he missed out on

KV origin story may or may not come out later than expected 😊(😫). I may need to rewrite the first part to shorten it and get rid of a lot of OCs. The thing holding me back is that it would cut a lot of You Know Who scenes early in the story, and maybe some of Kieran’s motives (but I could still find a place for those)

How would you guys feel about original characters in the story? A lot of the characters are “original” in the way that they are elaborated versions of canon characters, but these ones would be full blown Original Characters™

If it helps contextualize things, Kieran would be the only MH character, the rest of them are mine. Once we get to Rome, most of them are real characters

Please help 😭

YES YES YESSS VALENTINE WOULD DEFINITELY USE HIS MAGIC TO TRY AND IMPRESS SPELLDON AND GIVE HIM GIFTS I NEED THEM TO LIVE HAPPILY EVER AFTER

My least favorite part of having a small social media platform isnt even the number of likes I get it’s just that nobody leaves comments 😭 like please talk to me

obsessed w the fact that jackson’s parents are both monsters and yet he calls himself a normie and everyone is for some reason shocked when holt shows up

I see her like that too. Especially since Val didn’t get any of his magic back from her love, I don’t know if she loves him or if she’s just “obligated” to deal with him since she’s his mom

kinda realising that i hc val's mother to be a bit neglectful and disinterested in val. what do you all hc his mother to be like?

EXACTLY THEY MATCH. THEIR COLORS MATCH BECAUSE THEIR SOULS MSTCH

They’re so sweet and good and soulmates 😭

My least favorite part of having a small social media platform isnt even the number of likes I get it’s just that nobody leaves comments 😭 like please talk to me

Seeing people struggle to spell and pronounce Valentine’s first name is the funniest thing to me because it’s the reality for literally every Irish name ever

Project 2025 ain't gonna roll out all at once. So what we're gonna wanna do is make passing each individual part of it as difficult as possible, so there's less to undo once we finally get this country back on the rails.
