Hey! Love your writing, how do you get inspiration specially for your world building? If you're comfortable sharing ofc!

Hi!! Thank you so much! <3

Umm that's actually really hard to answer, I think. I kind of just- get hit by inspiration? I mean, I'd say at least 60% of Midnight's world building was created at the same time I was hit with the idea, and the other 40% has developed as a result of me exploring the parts of the story that I originally hadn't intended to. I have inspiration, think of how I want certain things to be, and then I ask myself; "why is this so? What is the reason for this?" etc etc. Literally the entire Fae pantheon thing has been expanded with this; "Why do the Elves wear their hair long? What about Elves who cannot grow/are uncomfortable with long hair? The Changed Children?" etc etc etc, just asking myself questions and connecting it all together into a cohesive world.

In general though, I get inspiration randomly. It can be as simple as "wow I would love to see the blorbos in this kind of world." I can't even remember which AU it was, but I remember messaging Belle like "oh my god I have an idea" and they responded ten minutes later and I'm just like "alright so I already have the ENTIRE story mapped out in my head-" so uh yeah? I don't really know.

SO I GUESS. A simple answer would be, the initial idea hits me and the world building gets expanded by me asking myself questions.

Also fun fact, do you know what "I want to see my blorbos in this situation" spawned Midnight? LITERALLY just the thought; "Huh, what if... Scar... dying... Mumbo doesn't know... and Grian is the one who finds out..." LITERALLY that one scene from Midnight Misunderstandings? Where Grian and Scar have that heart to heart, where Scar confesses he's half human and it's killing him? Midnight was spawned because that scene wrote itself out in my head. I wrote Midnight because of that scene, that REALLY EARLY SCENE. It was among the first scenes I had solidly planned for this AU, and everything else has snowballed from there.
