His only desire was to be acknowledged by that man. And he will do whatever it takes to attain it. No matter what it costs.
-The tale of a man who lost himself in darkness, never to attain what he he desired
I do not own WMMAP
Characters original id...
God I'm lazy to type this. So this will be very short
So some concept ideas
1. This is a character oriented fanfic exploring Aethernithas. I have solely followed Spoon's characterisation of Aethernithas
2. Setting is the Lovely Princess timeline, because its easier (I'm lazy to explain)
3. I wanted to draw a parallel between Aethernithas and Athanasia, in how they both craved affection from a person that would never give it
4. The last scene, its based of Athanasia's premonitive dream of what happened in her last life, by manhwa/webtoon.
5. Because I'm lazy to give solid character analysis rn. Feel free to ask about anything you found strange, confusing or out of place.
6. There is no element of romantic love mentioned here. If you feel something like that exists, then it was neither my intention nor my fault.
Still, all forms of criticism are welcome.
A few other things...
1. I wanted this to be dark, but I failed miserably at it.
2. There is a style difference between the beginning and the middle portions which I completely blame on my 2 beta readers (nah my friends) who tried to make me proofread. Obviously I got lazy and abandoned it in the middle.
3. Excuse any typos, especially punctuation. If you see something please just put a comment there
4. What was it again? Uh yeah. So if anyone noticed there is an ending note "Facade #1: Aethernithas". This is basically a part of my character oriented one-shot collection called 'Facades'. I'm not sure if I'll be doing the rest anytime soon or ever at all because I want to finish the 5-6 oneshots that I have just abandoned midway because I got bored.
Why did I abandon them? Good question. Typo, punctuation, lap, beta readers(they'll kill me cause they haven't read it properly, but I'll count on the fact that they don't have the habit of using wp much less look at my account) etcetera. Basically, it's the fault of everyone and everything except me. Jk.
I find expression really difficult personally and so I drop them in the middle to resume someday, which mostly never happens. U have most ideas in my head...just it's not easy for me to express them. Take for example one of my oldest drafts which I have not yet completed because I find it difficult to describe the setting in a way that would appeal to you - I do feel sad about it. But no use brooding right?
5. Cover -idk. Maybe someday
Anyways, leave all that...some light talk...since idk the atmosphere rn...
Before that, I want to ask you...do you feel I did Aethernithas justice as character? Did I lay his character bare to you readers?
As always. Do leave comments guys!!!
Extra: Me and My "Beta Readers"
Beta Reader 1: It was very emotional Me: How so? Beta Reader 1: You won't understand Me: .... I literally wrote that
Beta Reader 2: Wow Me: What? Beta Reader 2: You killed off a character without any hesitation Me: Uhh yeah? Beta Reader 2: And you were talking about the "Karma of making sad stories and making people cry" a few days back
Technically it broke my heart, I didn't cry...Leaving that aside I have been in an absolutely wonderful mood lately, so you can expect my upcoming works (if I do write them) to be filled with angst I get my load of karma by reading your works so I'm just helping you guys out for writing all that angst✨ Would I break your heart? Nah. I'm not that talented. I'm just taking a small, really small revenge for all the agony you guys put this poor me through. Beware my dear angst loving friends. I'm out to get you & I'll get you!!
On another note my stingy beta readers rated this work...
Beta Reader 1: 8.5 (excluding grammar, punctuation and content) Me: .... You excluded content..what did you even rate on? Beta Reader 1: On expression Me: okay...
