At this early point of their lives I'd say there are a lot of traumatizing things buried in the past both for Lix and for Randall but nothing they would think of as "secret". More that they both prefer not being reminded.
There is one secret Lix has, but it is also plot relevant, so I can't tell you because SPOILERZZZ!

nostr:npub1d62z0nl8twfw37nrdr3cfrr66pq8a3nclmmkqp6prrtqgjjen85spvtshf Yeah, exactly this. I like playing with stereotypes in general, gender or otherwise, so my male characters always have at least a few traits considered classical feminine and vice-versa. I like the idea of making an MC more relatable by leaving it vague. Indeed, that is what would be my ultimate goal with Blue, but I might realize I will not be able to do that while writing. Let's see, it is all unwritten until it is.


nostr:npub1a0vscjy9v8t8gzwn5mkre8c4mqera8wqe4hzefytnys29lu9js5sjpw6h9 nostr:npub1d62z0nl8twfw37nrdr3cfrr66pq8a3nclmmkqp6prrtqgjjen85spvtshf Oooh, that's a good lead, thank you for the hint! 👍
I wonder how far I can take it without getting awkward of the reader being pulled out of the story. But it is kind of a challenge that would be interesting. The first person certainly helps with hiding the gender, although it is usually not my preferred writing voice. But then again: another interesting challenge.

nostr:npub1d62z0nl8twfw37nrdr3cfrr66pq8a3nclmmkqp6prrtqgjjen85spvtshf  ...I can still make an MC compelling without the reader being able to tell if they are man, woman or non-binary. If I can't pull it off, i think I will settle for a clearly non-binary MC since I have never written one and, as a genderagnostic myself, I think it is about time. 2/2


nostr:npub1d62z0nl8twfw37nrdr3cfrr66pq8a3nclmmkqp6prrtqgjjen85spvtshf Thank you for the feedback, which is exactly why I put it out there. I like getting feedback as long as it is constructive like yours.👍

For the genre the point is that I am still not decided, so things might change (how the MC loses the fingers, the drinks...). It is interesting to see how much you can stay vague and how much you can't.

The MC is intentionally not gendered. I am interested to see how much I can play with people not knowing the gender and if... 1/2

So, today, short before lunch, this story idea / character materialized in my brain and I had to write it down.

It is a very rough #WiP and right now a lot of things are pretty vague, but this character and, while writing, the second one are "there", so I wanted to share the idea to hear what you think about it. Tagging #PennedPossibilities and #WordWeavers because I consider you "my" people on here.

We got the same. At the crossroads of two fields and you either get them from one or the other, with no one being able to really cross train someone thoroughly because of - yeah - workload. The onboarding takes so long that management shies away from hiring again. Let alone finding someone who really fits to the team, workload, clients...

For Lix it is not being taken serious and listened to, just because she is a woman. She is good with words and if someone tries to shut her down, she makes sure that they get to know she has got a problem with that. People see her as egoistic and "difficult", but it is rooted in her belief that everybody should have a say, no matter the gender, upbringing, origin, sexual orientation. She's a raging humanist. So is Randall, BTW. (2/2)

nostr:npub1tms32tyfx5tnr9jd9u6az9j5cw3falcap3awch2j2rkxuhqzhrfqrysf6x The second one is quite a good way to show affection.😆


nostr:npub1drcfyzwlfku08h973sehg27trygtdsxxkhdg5ay9crly34slxjksr9s7v5 That's the point... it is not that I actually WANTED to make her like that she just... happens to be like that although there are parts of her that I personally don't like.


nostr:npub15wtkkf7yxmea8g4mstwjlu4hsm40luj6f65m99hqjyjh7nes8eqstl7rek It is. They both break my heart. It become better 20 years later, so, it is a really long way to a happy end...


nostr:npub1drcfyzwlfku08h973sehg27trygtdsxxkhdg5ay9crly34slxjksr9s7v5 I am aware that it is a stereotype of sorts, but I think she is complex enough a personality it won't come off as such. It isn't her general tactic, for example, and she wouldn't do it if she is otherwise abhorred by the person. She is more likely to break a nose, then. It's just that she doesn't give a damn about what she is or isn't supposed to do as a woman (it is 1937, she made her way to a highly respected war reporter against the resistance of the society she lives in).


Underneath that surface is a very guarded personality and even closer guearded heart. This heart once belonged to someone she has lost. She hasn't let anyone close since then. He was the only one who ever saw how affectionate she really can be if she truly cares about someone. 4/4

#PennedPossibilities 92


Needless to say, I liked writing him discovering this part of himself, since I consider it part of his strength.

Lix is also rather complex: she easily shows affection, but it is often just a display on the surface. She uses it for her purposes, she is quick to call people "darling", touch their arm, hug and kiss them, but it doesn't mean anything to her. She can even sleep with people just to get an information. It doesn't touch her in a deeper sense. 3/4

#PennedPossibilities 92


There is an inherent tragic in Randall's character: his love language is touch, yet, his #neurodivergence also means he is sensitive and easily overstimulated by touches. While he learns to regulate it over time and find ways to cope with unwanted touches, this isn't the case in the timeslot of this story. Even more tragic: he doesn't KNOW his love language is touch, so, as an outcome, we do see a character who is severely touch-starved without actually knowing it. 2/3

#PennedPossibilities 92


How Lix and Randall show affection is interesting to me because I had to de-age characters I have written for a long time for "Strengths". Which means I had to pay close attention to how they were 20 years ago and how their personalities developed. People are both: damaged by life, but also, they grow and learn. So, this takes more than a toot to answer. 1/?

And they will recognize other things when they are happy than when they are sad or angry. It might even surprise themselves. I just found an example, a character who had been weighed down by guilt and regret until he had been given kind of a second chance...

Indeed, that's important to me. I don't have anything against growth, indeed, I think character growth is important in an arc, but I am not a big fan of story lines where the character overcomes what is regarded as "difficult" character trait or a disability. I'd rather make how they are the key that helps solving a puzzle or tackling the main problem. I'd rather make the perception and attitude of the surrounding characters towards this behavior or disability change.


Fun fact: the artist did two versions of this and I went with the grey one because... well, at least the fur color should match the writer IRL. 😂

I think my worldview spills into my stories. No fascist would probably enjoy reading them. Probably also nobody who thinks that gender defines what you can or can't do. The vibe is agnostic, gender-agnostic, pro-LGBTIAQ+, democratic, anti-capitalist, and community focused. Which doesn't mean that there is a victory of the "good" side. Only that sometimes, somehow, a small set of characters get to have a bit of luck in an unfair universe.

Randall is #neurodivergent, has #OCD, and depressive phases.

As an outsider with several incapabilities, I can relate to not being able to do something and being outcast from society for it. That's the reason why a lot of my characters are disabled or simply can't do certain things or need to do things in a certain way that feels right to them. And I let them succeed not in spite of this or because they overcome this, but BECAUSE of them being different.

Randall doesn't believe in endings, neither happy nor sad. Everything is in flux. An ending is a new beginning, and every beginning of something inevitably means it has to end in some way.

Lix likes to dream about happy endings.The tough war reporter would never admit it to anyone, but secretly she imagines retiring from the front lines, have a nice job in an important news outlet where she can work from the desk instead of wallowing in mud, blood, and senseless death.

"First, he had just imagined a rectangle that was enhancing and shrinking in rhythm with his breathing. Now that he was able to keep the rectangle at exactly the same size with every intake and minimize it to just the same tiny dot when reaching the end of the exhaling phase, he could go on with rebuilding himself."

I did that before, it is fun, although you might get weird looks if you are texting and snapping pics while eating.😂


In "Strengths" both Lix and Randall are around 30 and apart from their mental health issues quite healthy.

Randall has an underlying fear to die of a heart attack like his father. It makes his eating habits look even more weird to the outsider. It has to be the right texture, pattern, AND healthy.

Lix has some issues with her period but she tries to hide the pain because it is difficult enough to prove herself every day in a male dominated job and during a civil war.

I feel bad to leave him for a few days for a business trip, but today we went over everything, the various cat sitters and me, and I think we thought about everything, now.

The most important thing is that my tomcat is getting better and better. Able to go to the loo himself and walking without falling over all the time.

nostr:npub156xx69fr0myur9d0f54sk4hqm5grjamrryukten4puqzrqucxuwqhkp0j5 Haha, no, sorry, although the 7th is very high on my list, too (if there is such a thing as ranking incarnations of the same person). No, it's the Twelfth. I resonated the most with him and his arc.💙💙

Unrelated, but a colleague brought me a Doctor Who card game with my favorite Doctor from her business trip to the UK and I was literally close to tears because it was one of the kindest things somebody ever did for me. Not because of spending the bucks on it, but remembering my fav and appreciating my nerdiness.😭


nostr:npub1uy920rzk3udvv2mzywjcg66n6v9eqr2m4ttqh0qs38jthep3gvuqy9k05x It is! It is nearly a miracle, the vet says at his age and given he also had to battle a cold and an underlying condition of renal insufficiency it is astounding he is already up again - and at all!


Bottomline: I appreciate you all and your kind messages gave me a lot of strength, but I just missed the spoons to be around. :11111:


Sorry I wasn't around lately and won't be for the next week or so. Life went haywire on too many fronts.
The most important: my tomcat is doing fine, he recovers well and yesterday went for a supervised stroll in the garden. Unfortunately I need to go on a business trip tomorrow, but he is well looked after by my amazing catsitters. Actually, most of my day today was strategically planning how to juggle his needs and their availability/skills, but now I can go relieved with everything planned.


Nearly forgotten what a gem "The Fire Inside" by Bob Seger is.

nostr:npub1jrtnhvk2w08ee2taskml5hzr4yenw9jnnnkxufffmmgqnn27cnvqmqy25n True. And I sense a lot of fear behind it. But the thing is that language always changed. If there is language that better fits a concept and is more respectful and inclusive, I see no reason not to use it. Perhaps people are not used to it, but I don't think it distracts too much from the topic. If it does I wouldn't have done a good job in conveying the topic, I think, and it would have stuck out in the first edition.🤷


It is hard to tell... Galahad tends to take things personally even if he rationally knows that the other person didn't have any other option than doing what they did. And he's the type who would rather ghost someone than having a heart to heart and sort things out.
OTOH, he is able to understand people on a very deep level, so he is able to forgive someone who has done really bad things.
So, I'd say it really depends on the complexity of the relationship and what happened.
