So, I just finished reading Maze of the Beast and made a rather interesting observation.
This is the first book of the series where Dain features prominently. The decription of him from Lief’s perspective, and his growing respect for his strength and bravery all signal to Lief’s admiration of the other boy. Prior to this, Lief shows basically no romantic interest in Jasmine (he obviously cares for her a great deal, but I wouldn’t describe his feelings at this point as romantic). And a funny thing happens here. When Lief notices Dain admiring Jasmine for her skills and manner, he feels jealous. An odd thing, that, because you would think that if he was interested in Jasmine, he would be jealous in Jasmine showed interest in Dain, not the other way around, and she shows no such emotions. It’s hard to be jealous of someone feeling for another person, when those feelings don’t exist. Not to mention Lief has show little indication of similar feelings for Jasmine. So who, then is Lief jealous of? Is it possible that our dear boy is in fact rather hurt that Dain is showing an interest in his best friend, rather than himself? It’s something to think on, at least.
Basically, I’m saying that Lief had a crush on Dain well before he ever had one on Jasmine. Because seriously, someone try and provide me with a heterosexual explanation for what happens in that book, really.
I could not find a 30 day challenge I liked, so I made one. You can just use the bolded word, or get inspiration from the following ideas. Descriptions, drabbles, dialogue, drawings. No rules, do what feels most comfortable for you. I haven't numbered these, you can do that yourself, in the order you want to.
First meeting. A new friend, sibling, business partner? First impression of someone? Or perhaps someone else's first impression of your OC?
Memories. Good or bad, one or many. One almost forgotten or maybe one they want to make?
Inventory. Special items, a random collection, only the necessities? Or maybe an item they lost?
Fighting. Skills or magic? A general description or perhaps a favourite spell? A special style or move? A situation where it was used?
Anger. What makes your OC angry? Do they fight or is it silent anger?
Formal wear or event. Anything from acquiring formal wear to wearing it to the event itself.
Romance. Is it something they want? What is romance? Small moments or a full blown fairy tale?
Friendship. An old friend or one you just met? What does friendship mean to your OC?
Sickness. A small flu or a chronic illness? How does your OC deal with being sick? Or when someone else is?
Hurt. Emotional or physical.
Travel. A journey they will always remember? One they want to take? Or perhaps somewhere in the middle?
Shoes. Yes, shoes. Anything to do with shoes. Or the lack of.
Sleeping. How do they sleep? Dreams they remember? Have they slept somewhere unusual?
Darkness. Dark night, mood, mind, location, fear. Take your pick.
First light. An early morning. Why are they awake? Lounging on a bed or already on the move?
Above-average. Does your OC excel in something? Do they have special features? How about in the opinion of others?
Water. Rain, river, lake, a bucket of water? Get soaked.
Air. Flying, high spaces, wind, breathing.
Symbols. Does your OC have symbolic features? Do they like symbols? Or maybe they are the symbol.
Fire. Stories around a campfire. Cozy fireplace. Accidents. Or maybe a fiery nature?
Earth. Getting your hands dirty. Life and death. Or maybe just lying on a grassy hill.
Jewelry. Do they have heirlooms? Buying jewelry as a gift? Wearing them?
Hobbies. Physical or mental? Creative, entertaining, useful?
Sensitive. Do they have subjects they avoid. Are they ticklish? Or maybe sensitive to the feelings of others?
Happiness. What makes your OC laugh? A situation they felt happy in?
Keepsakes. Items that have special meaning? A gift? Something they found?
Soft. Clothing, touch, mood, texture.
Embarrassment. Does your OC get embarrassed easily? Maybe they are the cause? Do they like to embarrass others?
Intimate. What things do they consider intimate? Are they willing to share those? With whom?
Imagination. Use it.
That's it. 30 things, 30 days. I will do it too, after I get back home from my trip. Feel free to use on any fandom~
