Apologies that the latest chapter of Descendants is taking so long, besides finals eating my time, the technological gods have decided they hate chapter 12 for whatever reason. Wattpad's saving system malfunctioned and lost a bunch of work (a couple times X_X), then Google Docs did the same thing, so my motivation to work on it was definitely impacted -_-'
          	The next chapter will be up soon, though! This story means too much to me to let some setbacks end it before it's done. This even gave me time to plan things out even more for upcoming chapters, and to work on some more goodies for the lore book!
          	Thank you all for your patience <3

Given that there isn’t an animus gene in the Silkwings (that we know of), their power could come from several factors, and thats what makes this really fun!
            Their egg could have been enchanted by another animus by the request of their parents (this in and of itself could be for many interesting reasons), maybe something they found gave them these powers, it could even be tied to something they wear that grants them animus abilities. Maybe they’re limited in what they cast or how they cast it, maybe they’re scared of their abilities and don’t want to use them, there’s so much you can do with that Silkwing! 
            
            And please don’t worry about Mary Sue stuff, I find that this really only applies to stories where the author really just wants to have fun in a world with their OC, and they don’t fully understand conflict, stakes, or how to build narrative tension, or they don’t understand why it’s important. There’s also the trend that in a Mary Sue story, the authors that write them tend to break canon characters just to have things their own way (having every single character they like be infatuated with Mary Sue, while the ones they don’t like are portrayed as evil and/or stupid, even if they’re not in canon). 
            
            I think the ultimate thing to keep in mind is the king that drives all stories and characters: conflict.
            What problems do they want/need to solve, what forces are opposing them, what can they do about it, who would side with their decisions, who wouldn’t? 
            Sorry for the essay, I’ve actually thinking about Mary Sue’s recently, and realized some stuff about them (as you can see lolol)

Hey if you've noticed the CandyLovely148 Discord Treasury thing got taken down, its because Arto didn't feel great about the old stuff we wrote and they requested that i take it down. I apologized for forgetting to ask them first before making the thing and i took it down. I'm glad you enjoyed the stuff in it, though! If you wanna make any fanfics expanding on anything from it, I don't really recommend it since I'm pretty sure they likely wouldn't be okay with it since its old stuff they don't really care for

Hey, did you know I made a really cool movie trilogy for this cool anime called "Midnight Horror School" (despite the name, it's actually a really cute kids Halloween series)? The first movie is called "MHS: Covered Cries and Severed Ties" and is a big character arc for both Tubee (the big punching bag of the show who finally gets his way here a la The Peanuts Movie) and Chaps (the sweetest kid ever next to Kabo). You can find the trilogy on "Midnight Horror School: Covered Cries and Severed Ties" or in a few chapters from "Hopeful Future Story Shortfics"!
          
          Here's the series along with the English fansubs for it and a found Spanish dubbed promo & episode

Hey you ever heard of this awesome Hazbin Hotel rewrite called The Bed and Breakfast for Former Baddies? It's made by this super cool channel that made a whole bunch of lore and designs for everyone and even made another really cool series called In Search of Eden! They did a lot of research to make everything work and super enjoyable (though warning: Zestial is an accurate wendigoon while Alastor is an inaccurate one for specifically symbolic rather than racist reasons)

            Ooh that's cool! I haven't seen it yet, but I like when people can take the ideas they start in HH and make em work better. 
            I actually started my own redo of Hazbin Hotel, and even worked Helluva Boss into it! Been having a lot of fun with it, and it reshapes a lot of the series, but it makes more sense, and gives more room for more stories!

@TecknoGecko Woah, awesome! Also, I made my own rewrite of HH too, two in fact!

Hey, you seen Angel Hare recently? It's been one of the best shows I've ever seen!

TecknoGecko

@CandyLovely148 
            I've been wondering about that! I saw a few clips that gave .e the idea that the character was actually helpful, as opposed to the usual run of the mill "kid mascot is actually evil"

            I've heard it's really good! I've been planning to make some time to sit down and give it a watch

@TecknoGecko Well, it actually is! There's been a lot of hype surrounding it and theorizing on whether or not Angel Gabby (the titular Angel Hare) is evil or not, but biblical angels tbf aren't considered morally good or bad, just following God. They also cause floods and earthquakes. Other than that, the series gives one of the best flips on analog horror tropes I've ever seen and if you've seen enough analog horror (especially ones with the evil kids characters) you'll see what I mean!

@jackiejones376 but little tip, don't make your titles all caps and you don't always need to add gore or horror to everything
