-Captain Shadow from 'Welcome To Nowhere'.
Stuck on your WIP? Unsure of how a scene should go? Feel as though your story is lacking substance? Enduring with the frustrations of writer’s block?
Why not try throwing in a plot twist?
A messenger brings bad news
Something important is stolen
Someone vanishes without a trace
An important item is damaged
Protagonist recognizes a face in the crowd
Someone seems to intentionally fail
Protagonist finds an item thought lost
A charitable act has a harmful result
A cruel act has a beneficial outcome
Someone unexpectedly returns the favour
A raging storm moves across town
A gift makes a character the target of a murderer
A fallen enemy makes one last attack
Only one character in danger can be saved
An enemy saves the life of Protagonist’s friend
A will from a long-lost relative appears
A secret rival seeks to replace Protagonist
A thief makes Protagonist their next target
An obscure law suddenly becomes important
Strangers mistake Protagonist for a fugitive
A tool breaks when needed most
I am an inspiring artist.
You can call me Slime.
I like art but am not the greatest artist.
I will always welcome fanart and questions.
This is not my only account. This is just the account I used for my original content.
I don't own anything but the concept and the characters. Anything live action is not mine.

I'd love to hear more about your Modern Monsters story.
Specifically about Johanna and her relationships with her friends and boyfriend.
Johanna's relationships with her friends and boyfriend (and, by extension, her family) have always been seen as a bit odd.
Meaning the brunette has always been extremely loyal to her friends and her partners and even her family unless given an extremely good reason not to (i.e betrayal, a large difference in views, etc).
Her death (?) as a child at her mother and village’s hands affected her greatly—making it difficult for her to be around her family, even if she would still do anything for the Everstone family's descendants.
She's had brief interactions with her family members before the events of the story but she hasn't communicated with these modern descendants of hers (except for the oldest of the family) yet. And when she does, it's awkward because it's still painful for her.
It doesn't help that the town of Evermore hasn't forgotten her. Hasn't forgotten the history her mother rewrote. Like the not so little detail where her mother changed her age at death from 12 to 19 to make her look better (spoiler alert: it didn't work with most people).
Being in Evermore and being around her family is painful. Hence why Johanna never really stuck around with for long in the last 397 years.
(She was born in 1616 and Evermore, Massachusetts was founded in 1620. She died and was revived in 1628).
In those 397, she made a lot of friends and dated a good amount of people: all of whom Johanna cared about deeply.
The first of her friends that Johanna met was Lucius Ryder, an incubus—who she met while trying to summon a demon. She was cursed during the incantation out of frustration and poof! There he was.
When he realized what had happened he laughed at her and refused to take her soul. Lucius stuck around as Johanna tried to summon one who would take her soul. That led to Morana Crimson (a demon), Desdemona Grimm (no one knows what the fuck she is), and Octavius Taranto (some kind of shapeshifter) showing up.
All of whom refused her soul.
Much to her frustration.
The four of them ended up sticking around in her life.
It's because of them she was able to save Halmar Starkden when she was sixteen after finding him after what his witch hunter did to him when he released someone they thought was a witch. They helped her nurse him back to health to the best of their ability.
Long before they found out he was a wizard.
Johanna has an uncanny ability of being at the right place at the wrong time and the wrong place at the wrong time. It's because of that ability that Johanna met all of her friends and saved them/got saved by them.
She was there with a magic ring when Douglas Graves struggled with being a skeleton. To explain what happened to him and to help him get readjusted into society.
Johanna was there when Fin Finley, a merman, was dying of dehydration. There when Mako Akula seemed shady but turned out to just be a 'monster' like the rest of them. There when Clover Boggs, a fairy, injured her wings and couldn't escape hunters. There when Samantha Bellweed, a tree nymph, was struggling with pollution. There for their friends when Victoria 'Ick' Eyessacs confronted all of them on not being human and she was there to answer Ick’s questions.
She was there when Ick turned out not to be human and she was there to help Silas Pan, a satyr, get used to the human world.
Johanna was there for the people who would become her friends and they were there for her.
Her friends were there for Johanna through every betrayal, every death, every tragic event, etc.
The lot of them are there to help discover the secrets of their pasts, the mysteries of the present, and being around one around is very beneficial to all of them because each of them? They are othered.
They are from different times, different places, and are living in a world that isn't full their own through choice and have been doing so for decades.
Does that make sense? I hope that answers your question.
I'm revamping the story so I can't mention every character. But I can definitely tell you more if you want.
Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

“So mermaids and sirens are two different species?” “Just so. My people, what you call mermaids or merfolk, share a common ancestor to you humans, making us distant cousins. What you call sirens, however, are fish that evolved to look and sound like humans to attract their favorite prey.”
Just an inspiring author posting summaries, concepts, and plot galore!
