I might be posting short stories introducing them as best as I can because writing is about as easy as me balancing myself on a thin circle. It won't make sense and it definitely won't make sense. Yes, I just wrote that twice. Yes, I am slightly sleep-deprived.
The gods have made many mistakes and their greatest was giving me a flesh suit to inhabit.
uh enjoy this self-made book cover ig
Isabela Triplett is my pen name btw
so it's about this girl named Alessia who offers to be one of the empress's galas(don't ask me what this is, I don't know shit) so her family's land doesn't get sold
and basically it turns out she can wield the power of the sun and also there's this giant crystal thingie underneath the palace and also the empress(Badr is her name, remember it well) is kinda sorta falling for her and also Alessia is kinda sorta falling for Badr too but they're both idiots about it because you gotta love that ✧P I N I N G✧
btw there's also this mysterious plague that killed like a third of the empire and now after a couple of years it's back like the Black Death but it's worse
anyway this is one of my many WIPs and I'll release this never probably I dunno
this is Alessia Bast, the main girl
I drew her myself and I suck at drawing
she's got sun powers, connections to the aforementioned weird crystal and is also maybe fucking the empress?? they're friends with benefits for like two-thirds of the story until Alessia goes oh when Badr is kidnapped by assassins from this rival empire, it's a whole thing
Alessia is something I'm calling a Hakai Guerrier, she's basically Badr's guardian so you could call this a royalty/guard story
and this is Cahaya al-Rahim, Alessia's *checks non-existent script* best friend whose family got wiped out by the plague and she left for the palace for reasons unknown
she's probs in love with the empress's sister/sibling, I'll get into that in a bit
she's got fire powers and a really cool *checks script* chain whip thing?
here's the empress herself Badr Merle
she knows a whole bunch about Alessia and her dead family(oh I didn't mention that before? oops) and their history so that's nice and definitely not a device to cause tension and angst
she's like a tired mom trying to control all her lords and keep them from going to war with each other over a fucking festival competition for Hell's sake just hug it out you babies—
and finally, here is Badr's sister/sibling Mehr who goes by she/they pronouns if you didn't notice(enby ftw)
so Cahaya is something like Mehr's guardian(also a Hakai Guerrier) to keep her safe but somehow it's now the opposite because every time the annual feast/party rolls around, Cahaya gets into an argument with one of the lords and Mehr feels like they want to throw themselves into a volcano
she's also Badr's top advisor and one of two people who can stop their at-times cold sister from full-on killing one of the lords
the other is Alessia and she can do it way better than Mehr if they're being honest
ok I'm done, have a good night/day/afternoon/morning/evening

Chapter 4 - Consummation (aka THE SMUT) is up on AO3.
Hi!!! I loved the fifth chapter of Rakul and the third chapter of Shimsiam. I'm so happy that you are writing them, and I'm always excited when I see you upload a new chapter 🥰 I was wondering what stories inspired you to start writing about demons. Can you recommend some? 👀
Hello and thank you so much for the Ask! While I can’t think of any one story that inspired my Demon original characters, in my notes from 1/31/22 just over one year ago, I reference a few movies as story and place inspirations: Maleficent, Legend (1985), and The Last Unicorn. I’d written a little over 1k of a story, inspired by the dark and romantic lyrics of the song “The Killing Moon”, about a demon Thrawn who finds a teenage girl, Elise (female Eli) in the forest, captures and seduces her, then takes her to the Black Fortress as an offering to the evil Demon King there (demon Emperor Palpatine), but in the last minute lets Elise escape from the rest of the demons and he is imprisoned. Elise helps him escape his prison cell, but she is severely injured and near death as he flies her away from the Fortress. So there are several elements of that story that DID end up becoming part of Rakul, but that specific story is one of my few truly abandoned ideas. And it was reborn into Rakul and the sequel to Rakul, which will feature demon Thrawn and demon Thrass, as well as Elise as female Eli once again (which is at least half written, but the exact ending point is undetermined at the moment). That sequel was begun on Feb. 2, 2022, and the first chapter of Rakul was begun Feb. 23, 2022 and published on AO3 2/25/22. Anyway, most of the inspiration for all of these stories was simply some dark song lyrics and a certain mood. I actually didn’t start reading a lot of romance novels until later in 2022, and I actually haven’t read any demon stories like mine before, so there isn’t any specific novel I could recommend that inspired my demons unfortunately.
Finally, there IS a very lovely romantic fanfic about demon!Thrawn and human Eli already on AO3:
Chapter 2 of Rakul is UP

I tried to put all my might and skills in drawing, so I want to show it here too. And if you have any questions, you can ask them too, I will try to answer if there is anything!
And thank you for the questions that are already in my askbox, I will answer them all, I promise!! I'm just having a little trouble finding a new job right now, but I'll try not to put them off for too long! 🙏🥹

what if i started writing about a 1980s boy meeting a trans boy in the 1880s n falling in love despite not knowing whether the 80s boy will get back to his time or not,,,, jk jk jk,,, unless
watching a lot of Hannibal recently has led me to thinking about my own tragically doomed FBI agent ocs so here’s the gang
back in 2018 i designed these characters for a short story i never finished, yesterday i found this character sheet again and decide it was time to give them a nice redraw
all dogs go to heaven (fake cover-ish thing for a comic concept)
i like doing these comparisons but i don’t like being reminded that 2019 was 5 years ago
sometimes a homoerotic friendship is worse than death
weird shit going down in the 80s ft. pretty girl who doesn’t want to be here and mean girl who is desperate for answers
it’s the doomed yaoi. the mental damage they give me is astronomical
hello tumblr here’s a redraw !
a new rendering style with some classic ocs
i don’t have a webcomic nor the mental energy/time to make one but i do have the ability to make silly 1 page comics of my ocs being dumb
redesigned some very old ocs, i don’t think i’m gonna do anything with them but they’re funky i like them
So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.) Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.
If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results:
What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)
What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)
What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)
Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory)
What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.)
Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)
Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)
Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)
What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.)
What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)
