Sotl - Tumblr Posts
Y'all ever been on a character tag & theres like 6 designs for the same blorbo running around.
only reason dyed isn't an option is because I feel like that's so out of character it's not even worth listing.

Well I've decided to go ahead and do this now!

About
SOTL does not follow a traditional story structure, as it has multiple plots going on at once - though they crossover and connect
In this fictional world, there are humans and fae creatures. Fae have natural magic based on what type of fae they are. Humans typically do not have magic, but there are three ways for humans to have magic.
Human Magic #1- A Gift: a small number of humans are born with a specific power or magic type, similar to a mutation
Human Magic #2- Becoming Majicked: Just like any skill, humans can learn magic. However, it is best to start from an early age and focus on one specific craft to become proficient.
Human Magic #3- Get Cursed: Despite the negative connotation, curses have expanded to mean any power acquired through another source, usually a fae. Humans are not the only beings who can become cursed.
The primary setting is an international school of teens with one of the magic types. While not a requirement, it has a specifically designed curriculum to accommodate adolescents in controlling their powers, as this is the time in which doing so will be a struggle.
Where Am I?
SOTL is unfortunately not very far along. The plot(s) is very basically outlined with only some major plot beats, vague ideas, and specific scenes planned.
A lot of characters of a variety of importance are in the process of being planned. I add to this when inspiration strikes.
I also have many books of fairy tales, legends, etc set aside to read from to get ideas, but unfortunately I've read, like, one.
Five chapters of SOTL have been written in total, and I am actually proud of them.
