random idea of the day:
after the event of the novel, Makarius drags Falk into hosting a podcast where they meet every week and geek out about magic phenomenons.
it's called The Wizard, The Witch and The Wardrobe because they are recording crammed into a wardrobe for optimal sound conditions (Makarius read this online somewhere. Falk still has doubts. and back pain.)
Waschlappen stars as a special guest in most of the episodes and quickly becomes a fan favourite
after twenty episodes (and an intervention from Falk's chiropractor) they start recording outside of the wardrobe and consequentially rename the podcast to The Wizard, The Witch and The Waschlappen

okay so i've been chewing on the Falk/Makarius relationship for a while... like, in the first draft, Falk doesn't like Makarius and sees having to work with him as a punishment, which of course makes for a really fun dynamic, because Mac is super motivated and super tone deaf to Falk's disapproval of him
however, this doesn't really work anymore for the new draft, since Makarius brings himself into the investigation instead of being put there by Nadia, so Falk not wanting him there doesn't make a lot of sense anymore - if he wanted him gone, he could just kick him out.
obviously Falk is still not a fan of Mac's brash and loud and chaotic vibe, but i've been thinking that maybe he is fascinated by the fact that he is a witch and has so much magic power, so he is interested in Mac in a 'i want to study him in a lab' way? maybe he is excited to work with him because he never met a witch before and is thrilled by the new opportunity? also they are both basically magic nerds, so maybe Falk likes finally having someone to talk to who knows his curses and magical creatures without an half-hour lecture beforehand?

Okay so my extremely talented friend @ronald-to-die did this commission of the Verfluchtes Land Squad for me and... it is so good???? The sheer chaotic energy this radiates is truly unparalleled.

Work in Progress:
Rural Fantasy Adventure
Tumblr media
Feeling a bit lost, Dorothea walked down the hall to find her new department. As she had already feared before, it was located in the furthermost corner of the building. Of course.
After a nice morning stroll over the entire second floor she found the right hall at last, with a bit of help from the exceptionally friendly secretary of the anti-fraud department.
Department for Cases with Magical Involvement, an already slightly faded sign next to a big wooden door said, and below that another, Superintendent for Cases with Magical Involvement Falk S. Ebenroether/Criminal Inspector Fabian Tobel, and another one below that, Alexander Boehm.
She sighed. So this was where she had ended up after all. Welcome to the lowest rung of the career ladder.
Then she knocked at the door.
Summary
Dorothea Wagner has anything but good luck. First she gets displaced to her despised old hometown, then demoted to work for the Department for Cases with Magical Envolvement, lovingly called Department of Hocus Pocus in-house, and on top of that she gets assigned a mysterious double homicide where all things seem to unkindly remind her of her own messy family situation.
To make matters even more complicated, she has to move in with a chaotic stoner, who turns out to have magic powers, and her sullen desk person colleague frequently gets himself headfirst into dangerous situations and consequently into trouble with the no-nonsense head of department who seems to have an extra strict eye on him.
And even the case that seemed boring and easy at first gets more and more complicated the more Dorothea gets into it and with every passing day she gets deeper into a swamp of messed up family dynamics, hate, jealousy and powerful magic...
Genre
contemporary fantasy, detective drama, comedy
Setting
the rural south of Germany where the magic of old folktales is alive and part of everyday life
Themes
family | friendship | magic | guilt, atonement, retribution and forgiveness | finding oneself | love | queerness | home
Characters
Thea | Makarius | Falk | Nadia | Alexander | Charlie | Seewald

2 & 6 for the writing ask? :)
2. Tell us about what you’re most looking forward to writing – in your current project, or a future project.
There are several scenes from my big novel project I am really looking forward to! Especially some of the scenes from the big showdown I don't want to spoil here! But they are going to be so cool! And epic! I can't wait!
There's also one scene that's coming up soon in which Falk and Makarius, my two favourite characters who don't like each other that much in the beginning, get roaringly drunk at their office at night and tell each other their big emotional secrets, it's going to be such a good scene and I love Falk and Mac so much it's unreal!!
Another scene I look forward to, from a completely different universe - an ASoIaF fanfiction that takes place in an Cold War AU partly inspired by The Americans (it only gets wilder from there lol). There's a scene where the main couple - two secret agents pretending to be a married couple who are secretly in love with each other but don't dare to tell each other to not strain their professional relationship - make out to hide their suspicious behaviour from a nosy neighbour. It has so many complicated feelings, it is funny and heart-wrenching at the same time, or at least I hope it's going to be. I can't wait!!
6. What character do you have the most fun writing?
I love all five main characters from my WIP: Rural Fantasy all the same, but every scene with Makarius is just a special delight because he is so unhinged and bold and always brings in a comedic and light-hearted element, and I love to write that, but I also like that he has also a lot of depth as a character. Mac just makes me happy!
Another favourite of mine is Rona, from my fanfiction universe. I love to write her because she is just cool and writing her constantly sassing her partner is very enjoyable.

Character Introduction: Makarius "Mac"
Tumblr media
Name: Makarius Schwegelin
Age: 32
Occupation: none
Makarius, who prefers to go by "Mac", is one of the main protagonists of my WIP: Rural Fantasy.
He's a laid-back and funny guy who just kind of goes with the flow. He occasionally smokes weed for recreational purposes and likes all kinds of plants as well as medieval folk metal. Mac may seem lazy and careless at the first glance, but underneath his outward goofyness he hides a lot of insecurities.
Mac lives alone (save for his grandma) in Weiheroed, a huge old farmhouse that lies secluded in the woods next to small lake. After his parents moved to Argentina for business purposes some months ago, they left him not only the estate, but also a good chunk of money as well as his beloved car, a dark green 1998 Ford Mondeo Turnier.
Because he has enough money to cover his bills, he does not work regularly and just hangs around the house most of the times either gardening or trying out magic. Makarius' parents are both from powerful witch clans and he inherited their powers, but because he lacks discipline and training, his attempts at magic usually end in accidents that range from mildly funny (he gave his cat the ability to speak) to pretty dangerous (he set the entire garden on fire).
In the beginning of the story, he decides to rent out half of his house and takes in Thea, who is sick of living with her family.

Sorry, I kind of totally forgot about this ask... but better late than never.
I'm going to answer this for the OCs from my current story project, I hope you don't mind.
11: What was the best gift your OC ever received?
Thea's circle of friends invited her to celebrate with them at their cabin in the mountains the first year after she moved out from her family. They also bought her a cup that reads I'm the rainbow sheep of the family and has a cartoon drawing of a sheep on the other side, which Thea holds in very high esteem.
Makarius' parents passed his beloved car (a green 1998 Ford Mondeo) on to him before they left for Bolivia. It's still his favourite possession.
Falk has a pocket watch Nadia got him. It's golden and has a renaissance painting showing a forest as the dial.
Nadia owns a jewellery set made of silver and sapphires that Falk had custom made for her as a present. She never wears it anymore, but can't bring herself to give it away, because it perfectly fits her taste and she actually loves it.
Alexander has the first scarf his niece knitted herself. It's not exactly a well-knitted scarf, but she put a lot of effort into it and it's cute.
19: Your OC goes ice skating. How well do they do?
Alexander and Nadia both do pretty well; Alexander because he goes ice skating regularly, Nadia because she used to do figure skating when she was younger and you don't forget things like that.
Thea does okay after a while of warming up.
Makarius is a chaotic force to be reckoned with, he is bad at it, but that doesn't keep him from going extremely fast and he falls on his face quite a lot.
Falk refuses to don skates or go on the ice, he says he's too old and his bones are to fragile for this, but he probably just tries to preserve his dignity.
25: What is your OC’s favorite Christmas carol or winter-themed song?
I answered that already in another winter themed ask set, so I just copy&pasted the answer from there!
Thea says she doesn't have a particular favourite holiday song, but she kind of likes Jingle Bell Rock and now and then catches herself whistling it while driving home or to work.
Makarius favourite christmas song is Willkommen in der Weihnachtszeit by Saltatio Mortis, which he blasts around the house all December long and he gets on every single of Thea's nerves with it.
Nadia's favourite is The Herald Angel Swing, a jazz arrangement of a traditional carol, because she loves jazz and it was her favourite piece to play with her old jazz band.
Falk hates christmas pop music and is very vocal about it, but he likes the solemn tunes of christmas carols used in church service (although he doesn't go to church services). His favourite is Silent Night, because it was his mother's favourite carol and reminds him of his childhood.
Alexander's favourite christmas song is unfortunately (and completely unironically) Wham!'s Last Christmas, which makes the entire office hope christmas time will be over soon, because nobody apart from him can stand it. (Makarius shows him the Saltatio Mortis cover of it and they take turns playing it, while Falk and Thea are secretly plotting a double homicide.)
