That idea seems to work under the assumption that the basilisks would hunt and kill the remaining witches, but there are a few flaws with that. 1. It relies on the basilisk actually wanting to hunt the witches and considering that 3 out of the 4 basilisks that we’ve physically seen in the show had no probably co existing with witches I don’t think basilisks in general are murderous towards witches. 2. This assumes that the basilisks would be able to find all the remaining witches, they can smell magic sure but they live on a large corpse and there’s plenty of magic around that could help hide the witches scents. They could probably hide for a long time. And 3. It relies on none of the witches being able to take the basilisks out. I’m under the impression that there weren’t a lot of them and The Inspector was beaten by four teenagers and a griffin. Basilisks are certainly dangerous opponents for witches but if I was Belos I wouldn’t exactly rely on them being able to beat all the remainder of witch kind.
Plus basilisks are demons themselves and Belos doesn’t like demons either, he’d want them gone too.
Collector: "I gave you the draining spell! I taught you magic stronger than anybody's."
okay.
But what was the point of de-extincting the basilisks then? If Belos already had the draining spell (and evidently didn't need them for it).
Kinda makes the whole plot around Vee's existence superfluous.
Eeeep😳 Thank you.
I have posted a fan fic on AO3. I have only ever done this before now when I made a fanfic as part of a school project and decided to upload it. But this time I did it just for fun. And I have my online friend known here as witch128chick and on AO3 as norawrites to thank for it. Our conversations gave me the motivation to do this for fun so again I thank you and dedicate this fic to you😁
Wwwwwooooooooooooo
So the friend I commissioned for Alejandra and Allison? They really wanted to redraw Luna too so ya’ll are getting the full Batting Crew post fic, and a bonus character.
crazy how fanfic authors drop the most beautiful and gorgeous pieces of work ever, leaving you speechless and sobbing at three in the morning as you quietly contemplate the masterpiece you just read
and they don’t get paid for it they just do it because they’re having fun and they want to share their joy with you
like I would literally die for all of you fanfic authors out there reblog to swear your allegiance to fanfic authors
I’m really not qualified to help but I can try I guess.
First I’d ask if anything that’s supposed to go into the chapter is tied to a specific timeframe. If it doesn’t really need to happen immediately after the previous chapter and doing it later wouldn’t cause problems with the flow and timeline of the story then saving it for another chapter would probably be fine. However that is only kicking the can down the road.
So the problem of how to write it definitely needs to be addressed. I can’t and won’t ask for specific details of course but I do have a few vague questions. First have you asked anyone for help on it before? Any friends that already in the know about the story going forward and thus won’t be spoiled. I figure if you have someone like that (likely the person you were talking to in those early notes you shared) you already asked them for help and it didn’t work but I thought it best to make sure. And 2. Do you have any form of handle on what the problem is. Do you think what you’ve written is too much? Too little? Do you think there’s some bad section that’s causing it to feel off but you’re not sure what it is? Is there something missing but your not sure what it is? Or does it just feel innately off without any of the previous questions being issues? I ask these because trying to analyze and figure out what the core issue of the problem is is a great first step to fixing it and sometimes just asking a bunch of questions can be helpful.
I’m seriously skeptical of this being of any help to you but thought I’d try. Hope I’m wrong about my unhelpfulness😁
So my finger is a bit better, but like… the chapter after next for The Past Haunts us is still killing me. I try I try I try again and I just… can’t get it into a spot I’m happy with. No matter what. And it sucks cos it’s an Alejandra and Vee bonding chapter. It goes over basilisk shedding, and some more Vee history, including going a little more into their relationship with the other basilisks. But IT AIN’T WORKING! Something continues to just feel inherently wrong and not flowing right. What do I do folks? Save it for another chapter and move on? Go on hiatus until I figure it out? I just don’t know what to do here.
@memory-overload
do your ever get excited to see certain mutuals in your notes like yes i pleased the Friend
Vee: (holds a bat or knife out) I’m a brave basilisk
Jacob/Belos: (shows up)
Vee: (throws the weapon away)Ain’t a brave enough basilisk for this (hides behind Alex)
Imagine Vee awkwardly trying to convince Alex that yes her “weird appearance” is definitely a side effect of her drugs and definitely not anything else.
Defender of Mankind is an interesting epithet. Not one I think cannon Alex is going to actually hold. Interesting that’s Vee epithet is blocked out but that’s For the Future.
I wonder how an argument between Alex and Camila over Luz’s differences would even go. I don’t see Camila arguing that the differences aren’t there, so noticed something in cannon and would probably find it undeniable when Alex points it out. I’m guessing it’s just be Alex being angry about camp changing Luz like she initially feared.
Found my first notes taken for The Past Haunts Us dated August 24th. These notes were swiftly left behind and did better note taking in a private discord server. Interesting some of the things that did’t quite make it. I had to mark away some stuff that’s still technically spoilers too. Funnily enough anything marked over in red all comes from a single chapter, the King’s Tide chapter.
Turns out Cam and Alejandra were apparently meant to have a small fight over Luz’s weird behaviour after camp. Man I wish I kept that note around, that could’ve been interesting. And apparently one early idea were demons leaking through for some reason. Not so sad that didn’t remain. I personally prefer the single demon having a personal grudge on Alejandra over smaller constant threats. That and trying to figure out how to realistically keep that secret and explain how so many demons leaking through while reasonably not having Luz find a way home early.
But the biggest shame will always be Alejandra seeing Vee early and blaming it on weed, a true shame. And also huh, apparently at one point Vee was gonna constantly try prove herself brave with mixed results. Not sure I remember how that was going to pan out but hm, curious what that coulda been like. I also distinctly remember this was well before Alejandra was even considered trans too. I wonder if I can dig up any other old content…
Viney says he/she/they/whatever pronoun is used, may have a concussion to deal with.
Guess who started rewatching toh AGAIN
Thanks!
@tfeathersb You’re the only one I follow I feel fully comfortable tagging that isn’t already in this.
if you see this or are tagged in it, tag a couple of your favorite mutuals/blogs and let them know you appreciate seeing them on your dash!

……. What’s your favorite song?
Have I mentioned I’m a music nerd? Cos I’m a music nerd. I spend hours of my day analysing the personality of a piece. I have given in depth descriptions of how the personality of a fucking animal comes into music in Monster Hunter. I listen to the same song on repeat for 10 hours straight before continuing the next day. I love music! So forgive my language here but…
THE ULTRAKILL OST MAKES ME WET! THIS SHIT BANGING
