Eleanor for sure, she reminds me of myself! Can't wait to see more from you!
Nell was fun to write, we miss her stubborn hot-headed self already. We are working on Book 2, A Vision of Ruin, and it's in Mariela's POV. But it's been fun to explore her personality more and Nell will be back! AVOR will be out this fall...and book 3 will be next year. We also have a mini novella for Alma's story coming soon 👀

Just a little lore on the gods in the world of The Blight of Blackridge...
Tumblr media
We start where all such stories start, at the beginning. A beginning so distant there was no life to bear witness to it. Space was an infinite expanse and the world we know today was nothing more than a barren waste.
But the twins had other ideas. Dienna, Goddess of Everlasting Light, brought life to the world. Shining her warmth across all corners of it. And Ebroth, God of the Restful Night, filled it with wild things. Bringing the quiet stillness of winter to it.
Sun and Moon. Summer and Winter. Light and Dark. Together they brought balance to the world they created, for one cannot exist without the other.
Time marches on, as it tends to do, and the world flourished. Small groves became lush forests under Dienna's care. Fields grew to be great plains, tangled brush transformed into lush jungles. New species of vibrant flora multiplied and were fed by sparkling rivers of blue. The world was abundant with color.
Ebroth watched what his twin did and expanded on it. He filled her forests with wild things, encouraging growth in their shadowy depths. Filled her rivers and skies with new life. Brought rest to her fields with the cold snap of winter so they could produce abundantly in the warm months. Gave respite from her hot sun with the coolness of night. Balance, he spoke to her. If this world is to survive there needs to be harmony in all things.
And for much of the time, she agreed. This world was equally theirs and she wanted to see it prosper. But love between siblings is not always perfect and tempers flare.
Dienna watched as her fields withered in the winter and became resentful. She grew cross as her beautiful green forests became barren and covered in blankets of white snow. They were his forests too, Ebroth would argue. They need this rest just as the creatures within need your light. Balance, he reminded. But Dienna's temper flared as quickly as a match to kindling. And Ebroth's patience wore thin.
Peace came with something unexpected. The life they had made together had grown, evolved, advanced. These new creatures recognized the power of the Gods in everyday things and began worshiping them. The Twins, astonished by this new development, set their differences aside and basked in the reverence these humans gave them.
Temples were erected. Festivals were held in their honor. Gifts were left for them in the hopes of earning favor. And favor they received.
Ebroth and Dienna blessed their most devoted with their very own essence and granted them life after death so they could guide their bloodlines to do the work of the Gods. Each Twin molded their chosen how they saw fit, giving them power so they could heal their sick, care for their fields, bring about rest in the world. These High Priestesses became pillars of their communities and revered as direct connections with the Gods.
As their followings grew, so too did the Twins. They grew jealous when the other received more praise. Grew angry when those following the other destroyed the things they held dear. Grew resentful of what the other had. They claimed lands for themselves and their people, denying use to the other. Where peace between peoples once flourished, enemies began forming.
Dienna promoted abundance and her followers grew numerous. They quickly outgrew their lands and spread into the wild areas of Ebroth's people. They needed more space to grow and thrive, she would say. He had taken too much for himself. She complained that Ebroth's winter came too soon and stayed for too long. That his wild things destroyed all her people worked for.
Ebroth began to lose patience with her petulant behavior. He warned her to keep to her lands and leave his wilds alone. That her people needed what the wild places provided to survive. Balance, he reminded. But she did not heed his warnings. Her people cut down his forests to grow crops. They destroyed the homes of his creatures to build their own.
And Ebroth had had enough. He chased her people from his lands, blighting them and their fields with disease to keep their numbers small. His winters became colder, reminding her how much her people needed the meats and furs his people could offer. That balance was needed.
Dienna was furious and responded by sowing discourse with her Priestesses. She slandered her twin's name. Fed lies to her Priestesses so they would hate their Sister Priestesses of Ebroth. Her following was greater and she intended to show her twin just how mighty it was. She ordered her Priestesses to cut down their Sisters. Destroy their bloodlines so that Ebroth would be cut off from his people and his power. Believing what their Goddess told them, her followers obeyed. Massacres ensued and history would remember this Cleansing for years to come.
Ebroth was weakened. But he was not defeated. And with patience he waited, building his followers back up in the shadows while his twin believed she had won. Waiting until the right Priestess came along that would help him restore balance to the world.
And her name was Eleanor Payne.

Hey, just got into PoGo recently and found your fics! They're honestly really neat and wholesome reads and I might have binged like half of the ones you've linked. The market for x Reader works in that niche doesn't seem too bussy so I'm all the happier you decided to write despite that! My fave fic so far is probably the short one with Cliff and the artist MC. You write your characters really... human? Maybe this sounds vague but I just mean that the way they function and react seems pretty solid, you give the blank slates that are Team Go Rocket leaders some personality. Anyway, I see you haven't posted in a while but I hope you're having a good day <3
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE KIND WORDS!
I'm glad you've enjoyed my little fanfics ☺️☺️☺️
And yeah 😅 I haven't posted here in a while, but I've actually been co-authoring a dark fantasy novel with a friend. It's taken up A LOT of my time and creative energy.
But I really appreciate you taking the time to leave a message! 💛

Amazing! Can't wait to see the others!

Uploading art I worked hard on because of the loving support of friends  😤 💪 I may stream tomorrow’s drawing if I have the time, just in case anyone is interested. I wanna draw the other two leaders and their non-legendary PVP teams too.

First off... great loading symbol placement. Second off, I think Cliff took the whole "rock type trainer" thing a bit too far...

Sums it up pretty well!
Pokemon go is hilarious because sometimes you have to fight one of several very confident sexy villains to reclaim a dollar tree parking lot or one public toilet from the mafia

Becoming a Leader (7)
Part 6
“But mom, I wanna go to the mall with my friends! We’ll get dinner there!” Faye huffed, rolling her eyes at her mom who gracefully ignored it. 
Cliff glanced between his sister and mother. Faye had just hit her teenage years and, unlike Cliff, was having no trouble making friends and fitting in at school. He didn’t envy her though and was glad she didn’t have to go through as much as he had at her age. 
“I said no and that’s final. It’s a school night and your father will be home soon for dinner.” 
“Ugh! This is so unfair!” Faye stomped out of the room and up the stairs to her room, slamming her door behind her. 
“Why do we even bother with him anymore…” Cliff muttered under his breath low enough that he didn’t think his mom could hear but the glare she shot him said otherwise. 
“He is still your father.” 
“Yeah, well, he’s sucks as a dad.” 
“Cliff!” 
“What? He does. I don’t know why you’ve even put up with him for this long."
"Sweetie…it's complicated." Alyce looked down at the plate in her hand. 
"More complicated than him not working? Letting you support this family all on your own? Letting you support his… habits." 
Alyce sighed, moving past Cliff's larger frame to put the plate on the kitchen table. "Your father was there for me when…when I had you." Alyce admitted quietly. "There's a reason you've never met my parents. They weren't so understanding when I got pregnant. Your father and I had every intention of getting married, you just came along before that could happen. When they kicked me out Carlos," Alyce smiled to herself. "Your father did everything he could to ensure we had a home. I don't know where we would have gone if he didn't work day and night to make that happen." 
"Are you sure we're talking about the same man?" Cliff frowned, that sounded nothing like the father he knew. "What changed? And why not just…leave?" 
Alyce remained quiet, busying herself with more dishes. 
"I'm serious, mom." Cliff took the next dish from her so she would have to look at him. "I'm old enough to work, I can help out with-" 
"Absolutely not. You have one year left of school and you will be finishing it." Alyce gave him a stern look before softening. "Look, I couldn't just…abandon him. I didn't want you two growing up without a father. And I thought…I thought he just got a little comfortable when I got this job. And after working so hard for the years before to support us while you were a baby, he deserved it. I didn't think it would last as long as it did." 
"But things have changed, we could -" 
A car door slamming in the driveway made the two of them pause. 
"It's my decision, Cliff." 
"Yeah, but-" 
"And I won't have anymore discussion on the matter. Now go wash up, dinner will be on the table shortly." 
Cliff knew that when his mom took that tone it meant she was done talking and if he tried pushing it more it would only end in a fight. Letting out a loud sigh he grumbled a response before heading towards the bathroom to clean up. The front door opened as he passed by and he turned to scowl at his father, who glared back at him but passed by in silence. Since that altercation in the kitchen his father had been home less and less, opting instead to go out and spend Alyce's hard earned money. At least it meant he wasn't around to bully them anymore but Cliff's resentment towards him was still growing. One of these days he'd get them out of here and away from him, no matter what his mother had to say about it.
