@nbrights YES YES!!!!!!!!!! the way i see it is like. isabel could manipulate her spectral energy to form something impressively detailed- like this wing for example:
^ this one. she could form that through thinking about it really hard and lots of practice. it’s training and muscle memory and creating from nothing, so theres no real step-by-step or end goal or prerequisites to the physical object. because there is no physical object. and there’s almost no theory- but that’s only because isabel herself resists the theory by nature of resisting her grandpa, who is the one teaching the theory.
shes been growing up in the dojo her whole life, and started forming energy constructs around age 6. that sure is interesting! i bet that process was a lot more intuitive than learning it in your 20s! so now im wondering if- because shes been doing it for so long- spectral fist is kind of second nature to isabel. not as in shes naturally good at it- but the whole ‘doing something so often for so long that it becomes routine and you lose the thought behind it’. We see how hard she trains, and where she started, so it’s not like she’s never had to try. Shes had to try- but she’s never had to try in this way. Isabel can form the construct, but getting it to hit the target is where the challenge comes in.
So back to my point: Isabel could manipulate her spectral energy to form a construct with impressive concept and detail, but if you whacked a glob of clay down and asked her to sculpt that wing, she’d be lost. She’d struggle even if she had a picture- maybe even more. Isabels bad with limitations and precision and accuracy and processes and singular solutions!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I'm not giving you this expecting anything in return," Bella smiles gently, though it does turn nervous when she realises that he's opening it now and not when she's safely somewhere else and doesn't have to witness whatever reaction he might have. Although Leopold had accepted her back in his life easily, Bella would not have begrudged him anger at the idea that their separation had essentially been for nothing, and only caused both of them pain.
Not that she should have worried. Bella steps to him easily when he takes her hand - reaching out with her other to brush some of the tears from his face. "Ah, darling, I didn't mean to upset you," She murmurs, fingers cool on his cheeks. "I just wanted you to know I always thought of you. I'll never stop being sorry for keeping us apart for all those years, not for as long as I live." She brings their joined hands to her lips, pressing a gentle kiss to his knuckles.
"Of course, darling. I would not refuse you anything." Not anymore. Not that she needed gifts to stay by his side - he'd be hard-pressed to be rid of her now.

i just… i know jake lives for fucking you while standing up. like hooking his forearms under the bends of your knees and pressing your back against a tree, maintaining your weight while absolutely railing you into the bark.
oh 100%!! you being nervous at first and him being all smirks as he says “I got you. Think I’d drop my sweet girl?”

“Do you get off on this or something?”
That was quiet the question. Mathias had to stop what he was doing to really comprehend what he was being asked. "Watching people?" he said, wanting to clarify. Yes he sometimes stared a bit too long, and he did definitely stalk people from time to time, but it wasn't for a personal reason. Mathias did it for work.
He frowned at Isabelle, resisting (barely) the urge to roll his eyes.
"I don't get any pleasure from it, actually. It comes with the job".

"Oh, thooose look nice!", Isabelle exclaimed as she stopped at the booth, eagerly looking over all the clothes she could see. "Hmm, i wooonder... Oh! Vaaalli! I didn't expect yooou here! So these are from you? Can i try them ooon?"
Vallencia was just sorting out her receipts and ready to take a stroll along the booths herself when she heard a familiar voice. Without even looking, she already recognized who it was and smiled lightly. "Hello, Isabelle. I did not expect to see you here, either. How are you doing?"
She gestured towards the clothing displayed. "And yes, these are products from the al-Company. You may try them on. If you like something and it does not fit, we can tailor it to your liking."

monster- swarm of bats
Once met with the bats, isabelle felt her skin crawl. This wasn't an ideal date , it was the opposite. "Come on, we need to run!" they insisted, taking Mikas hand and beginning to bolt.

paranatural would be so good if the characters had intended symbolism and core beliefs and things behind them that drove a specific meaning. rather than being tools for shonen anime pseudomocking

hey, hope you’re doing well 🫶
I was just wondering about a wip that you said you had a long time ago about Avery and Grayson in college and him bringing her home to Hawthorne house. Is that still something you’re working on? If not it’s all good and keep up the good work 😊
Hi!
That is not something I’m working on. Actually, I’m considering changing it to Grayson x Lyra now that we know her name.
As much as I love Grayson x Avery, it’s clear that they’re not going to be together in the books, and I’m hopeful for Graysons love life in the future. I’m pretty sure we’re all on the right track with Lyra being it, but who knows… maybe we’re all just clowning
Thanks for your ask 😊

@writermuses - continued from your reply to this starter here!
There were multiple reasons as to why Isabel was upset at the sight she'd stumbled upon. Part of it was seeing Lance so wrapped up in another woman. She had never seen him like that before with anyone, which was saying something, as they had known each other for so long. The even larger part was that she was blaming herself for having waited too long to just take the leap. Maybe this wouldn't be happening now if she'd just given it a shot when they first understood that they'd had feelings for one another. Isa wouldn't dream of blaming him. He had every right to go out and see other people. They'd never made any promises to one another.
That didn't stop it from hurting. It certainly didn't stop the terrible ache she felt in her chest, or the nausea she was fighting as she tried rushing away. The sound of Lance calling after her triggered the tears to fall, and she considered continuing her escape, but she found herself halting. She refused to turn around to face him, but she at least stopped trying to run away. At that moment, she couldn't possibly think of what he might say to her, and she wondered briefly if she might regret it. Her feelings for him, the respect she had for him, and her years of trust in him and their friendship, are what had her stopping and waiting on him.

Rare was it that Isabelle came across such a young vampire. Rare but never impossible. She'd been around for a long while now and had seen all manner of awfulness that the world had to offer.
"You are such a young thing," Isabelle remarked, her Spanish roots long faded and in its place a strong Mississippi accent flourished from so many decades in the area. "I bet you make for an interesting hunter."

The conversation that was gonna happen sooner or later
@iincantatorum
It’s been days since she’s seen him but she’s kept him updated on her location through rather short choppy texts so he doesn’t send a search party out for her again. However, she always comes back. Always. After all, she’s not her mother.
She’s not even been home ten minutes before she catches sight of him and something she’s been chewing on for days suddenly rises to the surface.
“So do you enjoy making your children pay for your mistakes or do you actually think you’re digging yourself out of the hole you put us all in when you send me to confront my boyfriend about a bitch who abandoned her kids?”
