there are other ways to die than for a heart to stop beatingSPOILERS 8D
Sort of ;D But not really since you all don't have access to my writing. But this is something I like to keep a little more to myself ;3
There's nothing quite like messing with your characters though... but this is something I'll definitely be fixing with Zeke. A little self-sacrifice to save Dekker from the same fate... It's already getting tedious to write with because it skews not only Zeke's personality a little since he's missing a chunk of himself, but also Dekker and the way he moves around/reacts to him. We'll see how long it takes for it to be sorted as it drives me up the wall haha.
This could also be symbolic of his purposeful memory wiping/occasional flashes of PTSD, take your pick if my vagueness isn't good enough ;D
Still not really in the mindset for drawing, but I've been wanting to illustrate something for this since I wrote it, but couldn't work out what to do. Then when this came to me earlier, had to whack it out quickly. Still dark etc, but a contrast for the almost-black pictures I do for Dekker, which works nicely for Zeke, since he's naturally a bright personality.
Zeke Songweaver is my dude C:

I want. To hug him. Poor guy ;^;
Soo, I'm curious. When you mean writing, do you mean like a STORY or just random snippets for giggles?
I'm really digging the monochrome, though! Real cool! The drawing really captures that sadness.

When I say writing I mean three stories ;D Well, they're a sort of attempt at a trilogy, and I'm writing another one at the mo that carries on after the first three. They're long and rambling, little more than an indulgence, but they do have a vague plot with a beginning, middle and end xD It was originally just me messing around with Zeke, Dekker, Nazir and Eldris since they've got compatible skills, but it wound up having some kind of direction that eventually required a resolution.
I'm all about monochrome xD I'm not really a fan of using colours, if only because I suck at understanding >.>

I NEED MOAR INFORMATION. NOW 
What do world and story building

Well once upon a time there were four morons (the first one is literally called Four Morons because I was messing around/couldn't think of a title xD) who meet on the gallows, and when you join them they accidentally help open a bridge to the lowest level of hell and then have to fix the mess they made 8D It started out entirely plotless and pointless then developed a sort of plot which then required some kind of resolution xD It's about 10% making progress and 5% Eldris being a dork and 85% Dekker and Zeke bickering. It would genuinely suck as a published series because it's just me doing what I want with them xD It's basically a short story that's dragged out excessively long because they make progress then I punctuate it with fanservice haha.
I suck royally at world building because I lose track of things half the time D: I have a map of their realm that they're running around like madmen, but it's the most generic and boring world >.> I used to despise writing fantasy, like magic would make me physically uncomfortable to write >.> So I'm still getting into it. Stories I can do, but my plans are hopeless and I deviate off them as and when I realise I've got something better to work with. They literally look like this:
"Zee confused.
El reminds him he yelled at Dek and chased him off.
Not sure who’s behind it, but dislike.
To Dek who’s been approached by guards saying they have reason to believe he’s planning on poisoning.
What no.
Can search?
No…. because that would implicate him.
Tries to jump as grabbed, but bumps into another guard in an alley and is arrested with magic restricting something.
Dragged off to jail."
The friend I RP Alex with enjoys reading them. They're usually a lot vaguer xD

Ohmygod. I CAN'T. WHAT?! THIS IS GREAT.
GUUUURL, I totally feel you with world-building. It's hard and I have to do it for my frickin story. As for magic? ON THE SAME BOAT.
My world will have as little magic as I can POSSIBLY ALLOW. Weapons and potions are cooler. Magic? Nothanks. I wish you luck, because I'm not even gonna try going far with it. >.>
I'm surprised you weren't okay with fantasy writing. Then again, I came bumped into you as you were drawing up your DnD characters. I just decided to cling to low fantasy because it's as "real world" as can get, so I'M GOOD WITH THAT.
My world-building problem is that I wanna combine too many things into one coherent story era. I'm... having a lot of trouble with that. Especially letting go of old world ideas. Plus, the amount of research waiting for me is enormous. Hate everything right now.
Art is hard. Life is hard. I should just go cry in a hole.

I've never been a huge fantasy fan >.> I only started playing DnD a couple of years ago and it, beyond a few books when I was younger, was really the first high fantasy I came into contact with. Because the characters come from such a setting, writing with them means it needs magic too, especially as their magic is part of their personality and is so integral to who they are. Or is indulgence, as what written!Dekker can do is far more than he'd ever be able to do even if he hit the highest level in game ;D
Before these guys, I wrote with Grayson and Isaac, and wrote a total of.... twelve? Eleven? Something like that stories with them, all of which are 130k words + >.> I'm part the way into one but got distracted by Dekker/Zeke and they took over writing-wise. There was nooo magic there and it was just set in slightly futuristic Las Vegas/occasionally places outside of it. Thaaat I could do easily. Kind of sci-fi, crime, action etc. That flowed well.
I like the idea of combining real world with fantasy because it makes it more relatable? Easier to write? At the mo, the one I'm writing is sort of going to touch on that a little, but not overly obviously. I like the idea of technology having been around once upon a time, so I'm going with the idea that magic wiped it out and now no one knows what technology was - so basically Zeke and Dekker's world was like ours thousands of years ago, but now it's that typical high fantasy medieval style and they haven't got a clue when they've had their one exposure to broken streetlights/a block of flats xD It's hard to explain, but works well enough in writing ;D
I hope that hole is big enough for two, because I wouldn't want you crying alone D:
