Hanging out with old people rules because after a while they trust you enough to confess to murder totally unprompted

Quotes From My Characters (Part 5);

-Harriet Mannings, from 'A Not So Holly Jolly Christmas'.

Theres a wandering immortal who has been planting flowers and trees after the fall of Humanity..700 years later the remaining survivors wake up from cryosleep to a foreign, yet breath taking earth.

You couldn’t live this lie any longer. You finally confess to your blind spouse the truth of your cursed Gorgon nature, only for them to finish sipping their tea before calmly responding. “Of course you are, I’ve always known.”

Witch House

Glass teapot with floral scented tea, with three glass teacups

Mismatched floral teacups, some half full of tea

Rain spattered windowpanes

Candles placed haphazardly around a cluttered space

Bird skulls neatly arranged by size on a dark wooden shelf

Immense books with well-thumbed pages with cracked leather covers and several silk bookmarks filling a bookshelf

Small green shoots sprouting from glass jars and bottles, budding

The scent of herbs drying as the hang from the ceiling

Tiny bottles and flasks labeled absinthe in elaborate but unsteady handwriting

Minutely detailed renderings of human anatomy plastered to one wall

Dusty and faded lace curtains tied back with a length of ribbon

A closet that presents outfits depending on your mood

The scent of wood smoke and wax

Books laying half open and scattered across the room

A worn oval rug that retains its bright colors

Crystals clustered on a desk, some rough, some polished Note: This is not meant to be dismissive of pagan culture or modern magic practitioners! Please feel free to let me know if there’s a way I can be more respectful!

You are the child of Death. Everyone always assumes that you were adopted, but you are in fact Death's biological child, although they are unwilling to tell how exactly this happened.

Happy Halloween!

Here's your modern monsters character!

Her name is Victoria 'Ick' Eyessacs.

She's a conspiracy theorist who may or may not be completely human.

She has a pet dog named Snapper and lives in the back of her bug van from her grandfather's long ago shut down exterminator company.

She found a picture of 'Johanna Ever', a cowboy's long lost love only to realize that she looked a little too similar to Johanna Everstone '2'.

The mysterious stranger who claims to be a distant relative of Evermore's founding family that, like her 'long lost cousin' was named after the original Johanna Everstone, who didn't 'survive' the witch trials.

Needless to say, she's more than a little curious especially when she finds other strange photos and paintings that look an awful lot like the new stranger's friends....

Hope you like her!

Love her! She sounds fun lol.

Happy Birthday @hannahhook7744!!

Steps to Write a Cunning Femme Fatale

1. Establish Her Persona

Define Her Allure: Craft her as enigmatic, charming, and intelligent. She should draw people in with her charisma and mystique.

Give Her Depth: Avoid clichés by giving her a unique backstory, motivations, or vulnerabilities that shape her actions.

Choose Her Strengths: Highlight skills like manipulation, resourcefulness, or combat abilities that give her an edge.

2. Shape Her Role in the Plot

Decide Her Purpose: Determine if she’s an ally, antagonist, or morally gray character, and how her actions drive the story.

Design Power Dynamics: Show how she wields control or influence over other characters, often exploiting weaknesses.

Weave Intrigue: Keep her intentions ambiguous to maintain tension and mystery.

3. Build Her Relationships

Contrast With Others: Develop relationships that show how she contrasts with or complements other characters (e.g., a vulnerable hero or a rival villain).

Show Complexity: Explore the layers in her interactions, such as her ability to mix truth with deception.

Reveal Gradually: Unfold her true nature over time, leaving both characters and the audience guessing.

4. Create a Striking Appearance

Use Symbolism: Incorporate elements of her look that reflect her personality, like bold colors, sleek outfits, or unique accessories.

Convey Confidence: Show her self-assuredness in the way she moves, speaks, and holds herself.

Highlight Ambiguity: Blend qualities that make her both alluring and dangerous (e.g., a soft smile hiding sharp intent).

5. Show Her in Action

Establish Power Plays: Showcase her intelligence and cunning through strategic actions, manipulations, or daring risks.

Create High Stakes: Put her in situations where she must outwit others or face consequences.

Balance Strength and Vulnerability: Let her excel in some areas while occasionally exposing a flaw or fear to humanize her.

6. Develop a Satisfying Arc

Choose Her Outcome: Decide if she triumphs, meets her downfall, or remains ambiguous at the story’s end.

Reflect Growth or Decline: Show how her actions shape her destiny—whether she evolves, succumbs, or holds her ground.

Tie Back to Themes: Ensure her arc aligns with the overarching themes of the story, like betrayal, love, or revenge.

Examples of Femme Fatales in Stories

1. Film Examples

Phyllis Dietrichson (Double Indemnity): Uses charm and manipulation to pull others into her schemes, embodying the classic femme fatale archetype.

Mal Cobb (Inception): A tragic yet dangerous figure, her motivations blur the lines between reality and illusion.

Nikita (La Femme Nikita): Balances vulnerability and lethal skill, creating a layered and compelling character.

2. Literature Examples

Catherine Tramell (Basic Instinct): A brilliant, enigmatic writer whose intelligence and seduction make her a master manipulator.

Milady de Winter (The Three Musketeers): A cunning and ruthless antagonist, she uses her wits and charm to outmaneuver the heroes.

Amy Dunne (Gone Girl): Subverts the idea of victimhood with her calculated and chilling actions, redefining the femme fatale for modern audiences.
