My book is nowhere close to starting and the year's ending!
Yet here I am, to ask which zodiac ships are underrated in your opinion to try to add them in my book?
So help me out if u can
I don’t think I have ever seen a Cancer X Libra or Gemini X Taurus
I think it’s really just how the characters are and how much they click!
Lovw urname n.pfp.xd
Opting for computer science in school finally paid off! They literally teach us Java like we're gonna become software programmers or something.
So the laptop that I use ain't mine alone, like tho I use it the most, but sometimes my brother, dad and aunt use it as well. Now Wattpad story can't possibly be shown to elders and kids and I had to store all my plots, characters and chapters(which I haven't even started) somewhere for backup. A word file, ppt or pdf was too risky as anyone can peek into them.
I decided to store everything on the app where I practice Java. Using a few lines, I basically created a system where I can edit everything, and when only needed for viewing u gotta enter a numeric password twice for it to appear. And all the files have normal program names, not like anyone's gonna open that app anyways :))
Muhahaha!!! I kinda feel like an evil genius like its the best thing I've done this month!
Anyways I got most of my exam results today which were worse than expected cuz I was reading a lot of Wattpad. In my second language exam, my teacher cut whole 15 effing marks in a question in which we had to write a moral story cuz it was apparently "out of topic" cause I wrote it in a first-person POV which made it a 'happening' n not a 'story' but like that shit ain't happen to me wdym!!!!?!!
I still got better than more than half my class and my bsfs were like u know u would've slain 'em all had she considered my story cuz I am a pro at subject and a top-scorer(there's still hope for me to retain that).
There's also a guy in my class who's like my sworn brother(but not close enough to be a boy bestie) cuz he's an idiot, academic competitor and we have many things in common, who did the same question, same 'mistake' and we both got a zero for that and was like hi-five we did same shit.
Anyways, there's a story........
The exiled crown prince of a land, along with his wife and devoted brother, lived as wanderers in forests, destroying demons along the way. The demon king, who failed in winning his wife's hand earlier, abducts her. The princes win the loyalty of the forest-dwelling half-human, half-monkey king and gain his army. After crafting a long bridge over the strait, they reach the demons' isle and a battle ensues.
The prince finally kills the demon king and hands over the isle to his brother, who had become his follower and reunites with his wife. People supposedly questioned her chastity, she didn't even let the king touch her and after proving that, they finally reach their own land and build a prosperous kingdom. As for the brother, he wakes up his wife who was sleeping for the past 14yrs so that he could stay awake and protect his brother and sister-in-law and everyone lives happily!!
Woohoo!
So, how is this short, undetailed version of a story??!
Even in my country we only learn our own history like they keep on repeating the same thing(history repeats itself XD) but this isn't actually taught in schools. These stories run about in households. Almost everyone has small temples/ shrines in our own homes. Like not everyone reads the story, it is often told orally and recently through TV.
Also there's one show on Disney+ but its in Hindi (maybe has English subtitles)and idk if its available in other countries.
The weddings here are supposedly grand affairs with many pre-wedding rituals but tbf I'm as clueless as u are cause I've never stayed at a wedding for more than a few hours(the rituals mostly span 2-3 days) cuz... family issues for no reason(superstitious family actually).
FUN FACT: u know the Avatar movies(both ATLA and those 'tall-smurf' alien ones), the word Avatar is a sanskrit word meaning reincarnation and in a sense wrongly used by both franchises and is actually NOT spoken in the americanized accent it is known by!
@sweetpea_rosemary138 ohhhhhhh wtf why didn’t we learn about this in history or religion instead of whatever they taught us??? You think there are any in English? Bro your culture sounds a lot more interesting compared to mine (idk much about it) I think the only interesting thing is the weddings. I have heard they are pretty good xD
@Uranusnothere I'm not writing a story hun, This is the main plot of the Ramayan, an ancient Hindu epic written about 3000 yrs ago. This scripture survives till now and is a base for Hindu culture. Hinduism is polytheist, we believe in many gods like the Greeks, but these gods aren't mortal-fcking a**holes(mostly). It is actually a bit similar to Greek mythology, for example we also have the Big Three, who instead are the gods of creation, preservation and destruction. Instead of demigods, the heroes are the reincarnations of the gods, mostly of Vishnu the preserver. Ramayan revolves around Ram(pronounced 'raaam'), his seventh form. You can check it out if u want(there are televised adaptations in Hindi). I actually wrote this message for Dussehra, a Hindu festival based on the story(more context in the message below) to see how people would react to it. I didn't expect u to think it was really mine.
Happy Dussehra/Vijaydashmi to everyone who celebrates!!!!
For those who don't, it is an ancient Hindu festival celebrated mainly in India.
Here's how we celebrate tho:
(the bgm is in sanskrit)

Is there anyway to use emojis on a laptop?
Plus, will readers be comfortable with the idea of grouping non-binaries under biological males and females for their introduction(they're cis so their gender is different but sex is same)?
@sweetpea_rosemary138 nice! Good to see that I finally managed to learn something in computer science xD. Yeah I think that works
TY that shortcut worked!
I can basically introduce them with females/males and state that they're non-binary.
@sweetpea_rosemary138 hmmm laptop is the one with letter right? Try windows and . It used to work on my school computer so it should work on laptop. I think I am okay with that but that’s just me, maybe go with the one you like? If people dislike it that’s their problem
Hi! I'm trying to write my first zodiac book but I'm stuck at a deciding point (blame my indecisiveness).
Ev ( @uranusnothere ), since ur my only follower(tysm for that), I was hoping you could help me (plz do)
So, I would simply like to know whether:
1. Should I name my characters in my language? (it will me easier for me and my language can be promoted)
2.Should I make the readers guess the zodiac signs? (to make the story a lil interactive but this will mean the character names will start from different letters which can confuse readers)
I hope u can help me out
[[ sorry for announcing this ]]
Ooo I like the idea of guessing them! But could you try to not base off their personalities off of the stereotypes (yes, I'm sick of a stuck up Virgo, baby-ish Pisces etc.) ? Also would love to have names in your language or as you wish!
