*and I’m currently feeling like my writing and storytelling is inadequate*
*nothing could be farther from the truth. you’re an amazing writer.*
*aww, thank you!*
*i think right now I’m just out of the flow, because I haven’t roleplayed for nearly a solid three months straight. On the bright side, I’m liking the two main characters I’ve introed so far, Archduchess Aurelia and Mother Misery.*
*oh and also I’m in a very musical theatre mood today, I just had my acting for musical theatre class final and I just discovered one of the catchiest songs I’ve ever listened to from a musical: we both reached for the gun, from Chicago. And the version I’ve watched has coolest choreography*
*arch, any ideas on characters should I write from? for the essay. this Psalmanazar guy is boring as heck. i need to provide a compelling alternate historical reality, but i can't go crazy on worldbuilding because this is just a short story. 500-3000 words.*

*hmmm… interesting! So originally you were going to write about Psalmanazar? I’m trying to think of interesting variations of current history… for some odd reason, my mind is currently thinking of something to do with Pompeii? But I’m not entirely sure what?*
*when it comes to historical figures, I just have a few that are constantly stuck in my head because I’ve recently been researching them a bunch. Like Mansa Musa, the richest person ever, and Queen Catherine the Great, one of the Queens of Russia.*

*well, if you were to write a Lubridium story, something i would certainly love to read is how the Queen got Assassinated. The queen is dead! Long live the Queen!*
*you can bounce ideas off of me, and I’ll try to help with finding cool stuff for you to write about.*
*well, I wanna write about a genuinely interesting character. looking for a mindset that stands out, so I have an interesting internal monologue to work with. whether it's a pathological liar like Psalmanazar or a complete alien like Mound, I need someone entertaining who doesn't read like more boring YA fanfiction.*
*but god, it's been so long since I did anything with this setting. I barely remember all the lore I had set up. my life has been so busy lmao, it's like I don't have the headspace.*

*hmm… this is a very hard question. I would say the most interesting character in Lubridium is the Pelican, but that’s not your character and I don’t think dark has revealed much about it anyways. So that’s probably not very helpful…*
