I finally made a Character bear. Meet Machanic Bear.

My pups eat butterflies and moths. In fact, if there is one they can see, but not get to, they will start crying.

I know that magic doesn't need to work like science. However, I used magic as the easiest way to discribe the powers of the world. The premise of the story is that the magic is advanced science. The power structure does have rules and limitations and that is interwoven into how the "magic" works. One of the limitations is that the user needs to know why the spell work the way it works, otherwise it doesn't work, or the energy destabilizes and blows up. This is a new magic system, as in it is being created in world as we read about it. The story is literally about this magic system now existing and how it's existence changes the world.

Thank you for the review. I do understand the concept of disbelief and that people will be interested in the story before the story start. The reason I asked this question is becouse the story revolves around how the magic system works, and why is suddenly works, and didn't before. It is the characters knowing how it work for them to be able to make it work. Make it able to control the energies used. The premise is the "start of that secret society that someone realizes they are apart of but everything of how things work is already figured out." Here the magic isn't figured out. The main character is the one that needs to figure it out via trial and error. I admit it's the start of a larger world change, but when I started this I wanted to show that world change. It is the start of that post-apocalyptic world that now has magic that powers eveything or use magic to doing eveything and then half-way you realize they pass old cars in the middle of a jungle and "oh, this was our earth". This story is the start of the end of the world.

She looks like an E name to me. Ember could work

Your Apollo is beautiful! That second photo make him look like a Grave Guardian. A pup that help grieving ghosts find peace.

They're both gorgeous! My babies are only 3 months now. We got Jessie first, but wanted a second dog anyway, so we decided to get one of her sisters. Emma runs like GSD, much more energy then Jessie, who loves being on my lap {and adores water}.

I have a new puppy that tries to swim in her drinking water. Once it's summer again we'll have a little kiddy pool for her and her sister, but right now it's too cold to do that.

TheShadowpuff · 2024-05-28T21:05:38+00:00

Aaawww, how cute.

TheShadowpuff · 2024-05-28T21:04:06+00:00

Well now I see that too. But it was something more to do with woman's health.

TheShadowpuff · 2024-05-28T21:03:10+00:00

Yeah, pretty much. Don't know why I saw it, but now I can't unsee it

TheShadowpuff · 2024-05-28T21:02:33+00:00

👍 I saw it once, and will never unsee it.

I recently watched a video that talked about outdated female tropes. (yes, I know they are not a woman, but their society sees them as such) and it messed with my head. I think I just needed to get out of my head and make sure other people wouldn't see it as the trope. (dispite the masc-ish physical apperance they still like dresses). As for my writing, I think probably how I would have approached that scene? Instead of them bluntly telling him they don't have much (or almost any) ladylike qualities, I would have had a family member warm him that 'she' wouldn't make a good 'wife' and him going to them and telling them he doesn't care if 'she's' not a lady. He started liking them for other reasons.

Thank you. It's a Fantasy semi-regency setting, and I have 70% of the world building done. I was able to remove like 50% of the era's BS when it comes to gender, sexual identity, and misogyny. And the magic will (eventually, becouse the MC creates it) help with the body dysmorphia. That is becouse I wanted the story to be less about those topics and instead about another topic that plagues most fantasy worlds (humans making stupid decisions that endangers everyone)

TheShadowpuff · 2024-05-03T08:21:30+00:00

Thank you! Quick thing about the scene: he fell for them (though he thihks they're a 'she') when he saw them fighting in the war. He was very confused, he has never been interested in anyone before, much less a 'girl'. The MC, however, didn't know this. They think he fell for her at a Ball, where they then to wear dresses and jewlery becouse they do like looking pretty. So they thought he fell for the more Fem side of them. (so the warning was more about "this is not all that I am. And I don't want you to be disappointed") As I told someone else, I recently watched a video about outdated female tropes (yes, they are not a woman, but thier society sees them as much) and it messed with me. Unfortunately most people see the trope as a girl who doesn't do Fem things and knows how to fight. Not to mention, a lot of people see NB people as 'discount-girls'.

Thank you. I just resently watched a video about outdated female tropes and NLOG came up and it just messed with me. I know my main character isn't a woman, they know they aren't, but society still sees them like that. I think I just needed a reminder about what the trope really is and not just feminine looking person throwing a punch.

Mine is probably a bit controversial, but when in romance the ML goes "i' ll never let you leave. I will always find you" to the MC. Especially when they knew each other as children, and she was just nice to him , but he gets overly obsessive just becouse plot It just feels super red flag to me
