The one thing I fear, when the next campaign of Critical Role comes, is what @samriegel.bsky.social will turn into his next massive prop to drink from. It's not whatever Matt plans, or the heartbreak of romance in the future, it's that new flask that I fear #CriticalRole

Day 27 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - MC Hobbies Mahina's main hobbies are historical studies, she loves history. But beyond that, she's gotten into hunting with Kallista and magical studies with Mikael. Her newest hobby is helping Mikael create a magical creature bestiary #WritingCommunity

Day 26 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - MC Personal Thoughts Mahina suffers from a severe sense of self-doubt and loathing. Due to the nature of her perfectionist culture, where even the smallest cut is treated with disgust, her scarred eye and arms have damaged her self-esteem. #WritingCommunity

Day 25 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Book Adaptations I'd say the new Interview with the Vampire series is pretty great. I love Louis and Lestat's dynamic through out the show and Claudia's actresses nailed the role. In my opinion that is. #WritingCommunity

Day 24 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - MC Catch Phrases I don't believe Mahina has any words or phrases she says a lot, at least now. But when she introduces herself, she says the name of the island she grew up on. But that's more of a cultural thing. "Mahina Naeyra of Ka'uhane" #WritingCommunity

Day 23 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Sweet Moment Forgot to do today's post. Mahina and Kali have a sweet moment in the first chapter, where Kali helps Mahina after waking up from a traumatic nightmare. It uses a calming method a friend of mine recommended, the 54321 grounding method #WritingCommunity

Day 21 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Euphemisms Favorite: The Living Impaired - Another phrase for undead creatures like zombies and vampires Least Favorite: Being Let Go - I'm not the biggest fan of beating around the bush, another euphemism I like, just say what you mean. #WritingCommunity

Day 20 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Emotional, Moral, or Logical? Mahina tries her best to make logical decisions, as she is very much a "by the books" type of person. This doesn't mean she won't allow her emotions or morals influence her choices, but logic is her default #WritingCommunity

Day 19 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Spice? I don't mind spice in any the books I read, I even write a little bit in my books, but I don't go full on spicy when I write. So mild spice when I write, but give me that New Orleans spice when I read #WritingCommunity

Day 18 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - WIP Comp Titles I'm not 100% what a "comp title" is, but I think it's titles that are comparable to the project. I think? If that's the case, the Witcher series, Mistborn, and the Monster Hunter games are major inspirations for my current WIP. #WritingCommunity

Day 17 of #FantasyIndies February - Heartbreak I'm not sure if it'll be included in this current book, but Kallista did break the heart of a character named Maeve; who was introduced in book 1. While Kali has moved on, Maeve hasn't. #WritingCommunity

Day 16 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Last 5-Star Read Sorry for the delay on updates for this, I couldn't think of a single thing for the last two days. As for my last 5-star read? It'd have to be Mistborn: Hero of Ages. While Era 2 is great, I loved Vin and Elend's conclusion #WritingCommunity

Day 13 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Besties Mahina's best friend, at this point in the story, is Mikael Aisson; Kallista's brother. He is not only a close friend to Mahina, he is also her magical teacher and helps to give her advice for a stronger magical foundation. #WritingCommunity

Day 12 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Thoughts on Romance Mahina, up until starting her relationship with Kali, has been ace. Romance never really crossed her mind, despite being in relationships before. From her perspective, romance was just something society expected of you #WritingCommunity

Day 11 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Flirty Moments Mahina isn't very flirty, having spent most of her life ace, and her relationship with Kali is the first real romantic relationship. So she is still very awkward. Kali, however, loves to be flirty and giving her little treats 1/2 #WritingCommunity

Day 9 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Love Interests in WIP Mahina and Kallista are the main love interests in the story, to pick up where they left off in the first book. However, a former romance, from Mahina's past, is planned to appear. As well as the introduction of a new pair #WritingCommunity

Day 7 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Common Themes The most common literary theme in my books a journey of self discovery and self worth. Mahina struggles with not only her self worth, and her budding romance with a woman, but also her views being challenged the more she learns. #WritingCommunity

Day 6 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Romance Trope I don't know what it's called, but I call it "Reluctant Romance". It's where two people are in denial about their feelings for each other, but realize it after one event. Bonus points if the realization is followed with "Oh...fuck". #WritingCommunity

Day 5 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Perfect Date Depends who starts date night. If it's Kali, she would keep it indoors and have a quiet night for Mahina; since she knows Mahina is more comfortable indoors. If it's Mahina, late night camping; since she knows Kali loves nature. #WritingCommunity

Day 4 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Petnames Mahina and Kallista don't really have cutesy nicknames for each other, the nearest being Hina and Kali. However, should such a thing every come around, it would be Kallista calling Mahina by the nickname "Honey". Kallista loves honey #WritingCommunity

Day 3 of #FAntasyIndiesFebruary - Games There are a few games in the story, some that will appear in book 2, but they are pretty basic; Liar's Dice, Chess, and Cards. However, Mahina and Mikael do have a training game, where Mika calls out something and Mahina makes it with magic #WritingCommunity

Day 2 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Favorite Romance Movies/Books I'm not really into strictly romance, preferring horror and suspense, but I do enjoy a good romance plotline on occasion. Vin and Elend in the Mistborn series is my current favorite. #WritingCommunity

Day 1 of #FantasyIndiesFebruary - Intro A bit late on this. I am J.W. Ashtear, self-published fantasy writer. I love telling tells and introducing lesser known myths to a more main stream audience. I'm working on book 2 of my "Tales of Mahina Naeyra" series #WritingCommunity
