She also drank two cups of coffee with them and…

You could see the mania in her eyes, she looked terrifying … and then she only slept an hour last night

So yes, she’s not very terrifying, as her medication is making her metaphorically burst.

QOTD: Help me figure out the genre and audience (age-wise) of Artifice, Ethereal?

It’s a very existential, chaotic, and funny story about a mismatched group of people saving the world from the MC’s crazy ex. There’s elements of romance, fantasy, mythology, and science fiction, though most of it happens in real places on earth. The ex wants to summon an ancient evil to destroy the world because she can’t have the MC back

the characters are all in their 20s and 30s, and those who aren’t either mentally act it or have existed for long enough to understand how it works to be older. It tackles themes like lack of purpose in life, the emptiness that comes with not having one, and the impact that trauma and love can have on your worldview and identity.

anyway. Ideas?

My guess is low fantasy and people in late 20s which would make it adult but idkkk

[JojoDahlia]

It sounds very Leigh Bardugo-esque. I’m thinking Ninth House. I’m thinking Juno Dawson. So adult/ “new” adult.

Based on the concept I feel like the audience would be younger-leaning 20s.

[LadyOfTheRiver]

Hmm. Thanks.

[Churro]

Yes, I second this. New Adult.

@LadyOfTheRiver

Cuz nothing was ever good about being a child for me. Nothing was handed to me… EVER.

Oh, no! That sounds horrible. I’m sorry you had to go through that experience! I relate to some part of it, and I had my fair share of wounds to work through, but definitely didn’t have it so hard… It sucks when children can’t be children.

@LadyOfTheRiver

So yeah, I def prefer adulting. I like it much better than being a kid.

@LadyOfTheRiver

So yeah, I def prefer adulting. I like it much better than being a kid.

I’m glad you’re getting that experience now! Do you feel like there’s less responsibilites now?

@LadyOfTheRiver

In fact, adulting is the closest thing to being a kid I’ll ever get so many pretty things to explore hehe

Hehe that’s cool! What do you enjoy most about it? Any new hobbies you picked up on to explore? Do you enjoy travelling?

@LadyOfTheRiver

I guess I can see that…

It’s just that I get to learn a lot about how people got where they are, and what their experiences can teach me. It’s also good to know what’s going on in the community in whatever field I’m discussing, so when I want to take a step up, I have some idea of how I can position myself and what to try.

@LadyOfTheRiver

Nice! Heheh

Thank you!

[LadyOfTheRiver]

@Novel_Worm

It sucks when children can’t be children.

Yup, sure does.

but at least now I got a killer sense of dark humour and a bunch of skills in life that take decades to learn for normal people. Heheheheh

@Novel_Worm

I’m glad you’re getting that experience now! Do you feel like there’s less responsibilites now?

Yup

I no longer have to care as much about what people think, there’s no explosions I need to tiptoe around, and there’s no way mom can make me take care of my sisters cuz I’m in a completely different country

@Novel_Worm

Hehe that’s cool! What do you enjoy most about it? Any new hobbies you picked up on to explore? Do you enjoy travelling?

OMG I LOVE HAVING MY OWN MONEY

I can get what I want without having to beg anyone for it or lie or just plain old be sad that I can’t get it because otherwise my parents will explode at me. And I love being able to just decide I want to go to the doctor to get help without my mom looming over my shoulder and telling me to shut up because she can explain my problems better than me (duh! Because I definitely trust her with my full self and I can confidently say she knows me )

oh, and I GO WHERE I WANT AND DO WHAT I WANT WITH WHOEVER O WANT BECAUSE OMG NO ONE IS GONNA YELL AT ME ABOUT NEGLECTING THEM WHEN I GET HOME

And I picked up boxing that’s something my parents would have NEVER let me do when I lived with them.

@Novel_Worm

It’s just that I get to learn a lot about how people got where they are, and what their experiences can teach me.

Yeah, that sounds cool haha

[LadyOfTheRiver]

I hate heat, and gf likes blazing sun, and I hate that she won’t get a fan for us it’s too warm here

[alenatenjo]

I think YA pretty much sums it up

[Novel_Worm]

@LadyOfTheRiver

but at least now I got a killer sense of dark humour and a bunch of skills in life that take decades to learn for normal people. Heheheheh

That’s a cool perk, definitely.

@LadyOfTheRiver

I no longer have to care as much about what people think, there’s no explosions I need to tiptoe around, and there’s no way mom can make me take care of my sisters cuz I’m in a completely different country

Ooh that sounds nice. It’s amazing to have your own space after getting out of such environments.

@LadyOfTheRiver

OMG I LOVE HAVING MY OWN MONEY

Yay! That’s so cool! Love the ability to just do what you want to. It’s horrible that you weren’t even able to tell the doctor your own problems…

@LadyOfTheRiver

oh, and I GO WHERE I WANT AND DO WHAT I WANT WITH WHOEVER O WANT BECAUSE OMG NO ONE IS GONNA YELL AT ME ABOUT NEGLECTING THEM WHEN I GET HOME

Yessss! Have you been travelling a lot? Are you a beach or forest person? Or both?

@LadyOfTheRiver

And I picked up boxing that’s something my parents would have NEVER let me do when I lived with them.

Damn, that’s cool! Sounds like a lot of fun.

Random question: Coffee or tea?

[jj_tesla]

Urban Fantasy, 19-year-olds.

Peak

@alenatenjo

I think YA pretty much sums it up

Yeah, I was thinking that, but it deals with too many existential crises to be one imo. I feel like it sits between YA and pure adult fiction.

it’s like, so deep but also the point is chaos.

[LadyOfTheRiver]

@Novel_Worm

That’s a cool perk, definitely.

Mmm yes. hehe

@Novel_Worm

Ooh that sounds nice. It’s amazing to have your own space after getting out of such environments.

Irk it’s super cool ayeeee

@Novel_Worm

It’s horrible that you weren’t even able to tell the doctor your own problems…

That wasn’t the bad part. The bad part was that o would ignore problems for YEARS because I didn’t want to tell my parents they existed cuz if I did they would interrogate like I was a prisoner of the KGB

@Novel_Worm

Yessss! Have you been travelling a lot? Are you a beach or forest person? Or both?

Yeeeeee

I mostly run around with my gf, go where she takes me. It’s SUPER FUNNN

@Novel_Worm

Random question: Coffee or tea?

Matcha so the best of both worlds

[Novel_Worm]

@LadyOfTheRiver

Irk it’s super cool ayeeee

Do you enjoy decorating it? I think that’s what I look forward to most about getting my own space everytime I move.

@LadyOfTheRiver

The bad part was that o would ignore problems for YEARS because I didn’t want to tell my parents they existed cuz if I did they would interrogate like I was a prisoner of the KGB

Noooo that sucks! Hope it’s not left any problems, and you’re able to get it checked out now.

@LadyOfTheRiver

I mostly run around with my gf, go where she takes me. It’s SUPER FUNNN

Ayyy I see you’re a passenger princess? That’s so much fun!

@LadyOfTheRiver

Matcha so the best of both worlds

ohhh haha fair. I don’t particularly enjoy matcha, but it’s a nice refresher.
