1. tho Mrs.Moon treats both Kattar and Alicia like her kids, and loves them equally, she babies Kattar a lot more than Alicia. And he's older than her!
2. Kattar's birthday is in march, but I refuse to make it March 20th.
3. His birthday is March 21st, because 'march comes in like a lion."
4. Alicia's birthday is in October, and the fact that she used to have birthday parties and Mickey Dees is inspired by how my abuela threw b-day parties for my dad
5. Mrs. Moon is unusually tall 5'7, not including the heels she usually wears, despite being a Hispanic woman
6. Melissa Xochitl is not Mexican, despite her name. She's Ashkenazi Jewish, by ethnicity, but not religion

1. like his big sister, Andrew doesn't like coffee either. But he mostly just drinks milk and juice, no tea either.
2. Jinho and Andrew are both immigrants to Mexico, and trilingual.
3. Jinho is probably my most kuudere character in any story I have written so far
4. Andrew is probably the most obliviously loving character I've written so far. but both of them stay in a fairly realistic realm, I think, because of the genre

1. Kattar has never bought Alicia any typically romantic present. Chocolate, flowers etc. Well technically he bought her jewelry, but that was specifically for her award ceremony
2. I came up with Alicia's taste in music on a whim when writing the fourth chapter and it just stuck
3. despite Alicia thinking she's been single for "so long," she's the exact same age Mrs. Moon was when she had Kattar. So conceivably if she has a kid before her birthday in October, she'll be right on schedule. But that would be impossible as it's already March 2024 in her world.
4. Kattar has never met or even seen a picture of his father.

1. While I often like basing people's names off of specific meanings, I didn't thing very hard about any of the character names in "Damsel in the Red Dress" I just gave most of them normal sounding names, and last names to fit their culture. Mrs. Moon's name seems accidentally surprisingly fitting however, because it gives the impression of something very powerful and stately, imao.

No likes yesterday, so here's a question

which of your character's dialog do you enjoy writing the most?

[Leyelle]

1 like yesterday so

1. my favorite character interactions to write in their respective stories are interactions between Kattar and Alicia in "Damsel in the Red Dress" and interactions between Jimin and Jinwoo Lee in "Hushabye Prince."

[Leyelle]

no likes yesterday so one question

1. who is your most difficult character to write for?

[Leyelle]

for every new sub drop a random sentence from your story

4 likes on Friday so:

1. I love writing Alicia and Kattar teasing and flirting with each other. It's spicy but wholesome at the same time
2. I think Kattar's looks keep shifting slightly when I visualize him, which reminds me how many different types of faces can fit a basic description lol
3. Surprisingly Kattar and Alicia are NOT the largest height gap I've ever written for a couple. I have one (currently unreleased) couple with a 13 inch height gap. And another female character with a crush on a guy approximately twice her height.
4. I set lots of my stories in Maryland just because I lived there for so long, so I have a stronger gist of it than I have with any other place but the Dominican Republic. I will probably set a novel here someday too, but I already have a short story written (and published) set here.

[Leyelle]

One like yesterday so here's our one fact

1. Kattar likes cuddling a lot more than he's willing to admit

[Leyelle]

No likes yesterday, so here's a question: if there's one thing you regret not planning out ahead of time, what would it be?

[Leyelle]

No likes yesterday, so here's a question:

If you could have advice on writing your story from one person, who would you ask?

[Leyelle]

One like today so i'll answer one of my own questions:

If I could get one person's advice on writing a story, i'd probably ask Charles Dickens' advice on how to describe characters well

[Leyelle]

I got 6 more likes by the end of the day so

1. My writing about the international mail system was based on my experiences in the Dominican Republic and my auntie's experience in ghana.
2. I don't know a lot about cars and I can't drive, so writing the first scene was difficult lol
3. I enjoy describing Kattar's facial expressions way too much
4. I wasn't really clear on what my FL looked like when I started writing the story, and she just built up over time
5. I like writing very short or very tall characters for some reason
6. My favorite Chapter titles are "White Hole" "Black Bile" and "Sanguine Thread."

8 likes (that weren't mine) yesterday

1. Half the reason Alicia wears ugly clothes is probably just because it bothers Kattar
2. Alicia actually likes being tiny, it makes her feel cute and snuggly
3. Kattar isn't as tall as you'd expect given that his mom is pretty dang tall for a woman
4. being short doesn't actually run in Alicia's family, every member of her family including her mom and grandmother were/are taller than her
5. Despite always being described as beautiful and glamorous, Mrs. Moon looks older than you might imagine (because they aren't mutually exclusive) she doesn't have wrinkles or gray hair, but you can still tell by her face that she's nearing 60.
6. Alicia's mother was only 18 when she got married and had Alicia, so she was only 35 when she died
7. Kattar doesn't know his own mother's age
8. Kattar sometimes has a hard time remembering his own age, (thank you medication.)

1. No one knows exactly how Teresa Tryon died. Alec said it was a heart attack.
2. Gallus and Friar share a volatile history, to be expanded later.
3. I have not yet figured out who Friar's "layparents" are. I had originally thought Gallus, but a white rooster coming from a red didn't make much sense.
4. Bucky calls Friar "mate", because it's gender-neutral, and also a term of "friendearment".
5. Friar doesn't like being called a hen, but he's said that he's not a rooster either. He's still trying to figure it all out...(so am i, though "he" just makes more sense to me for the story going forward.)
6. Baltzar (the shortest owl) is the leader of the other two. He is not as blind as the other two, which is why he literally leads them...
7. I am currently writing the Halakaw for an extras webpage (on ComicFury), though I may feature bits/pieces here. It has a genesis, exodus, and plays off some biblical stories, but for chickens.

got 2 new subs since last post, so here's some random sentences:
"WHO TOUCHED MY ZEN GARDEN?!"
"KA-ROOOOOOOOOOOOO!" XD

[Leyelle]

I forgot lol "Hushabye Prince" got seven likes so

1. Kimberly has another name that isn't American, but she goes by Kimberly because it's easier to fit in that way
2. Other kids used to think Kimberly was weird because she would (literally) talk with her hands even while speaking audibly
3. Mad and Hallie are both immigrants
4. Yet to be seen, but the school Kimberly works at is named McDaniel Prep after my queen Hattie McDaniel, the first black person to win an Oscar
5. I wanted to make Kimberly have performed in a remake of "For Colored Girls Only" which is a play my mother was part of when she used to act, but I don't know if it's legal to mention it by name lol. she was also a pageant girl.
6. For some reason my leads in my romances are always much older than me, but the age discrepancy between Jinwoo and Kimberly is pretty sizeable
7. It's not nearly as sizeable as it was in the original version of the series I wrote when I was 14.
