#PennedPossibilities 300 โ How does your MC or SC react to change? Do they struggle to adjust or go with the flow?
Dionysus reacts the most heavily to change, especially when he's younger. He never had much as a child and is aware that he needs the other Rascals to feel that he can take on whatever fates throw his way. If anything in the dynamic changes, he gets uneasy and scared to the point where he gets frustrated and angry until the others notice and find a way to reassure him.

The wealthy are blaming the re-emerging witch cultures for anything bad as they are a direct threat to societal hierarchy.
Most of the kingdom is getting pretty fed up with the blatant attempt at scapegoating, but there are still large groups who really want to believe it. They're tempted into such a belief by the wealth dangled in front of them like a carrot in front of a donkey.
Being unable to avoid reality from falling apart and so losing everyone and everything I love to the unfeeling void of nothingness as my consciousness lingers on for eternity alone and shapeless until the memory of my loves and life is nothing but a distant faded echo in a language I no longer comprehend. Also evil sockpuppets.
Deep down, that is her actual fear. Becoming an abstract entity with a consciousness floating around in nothing, losing everything as it slowly fades from her over aeons.

"Zarathustra came running. His frustrated and angry roar announced his arrival so clearly that it gave Elli time to ponder. She could imagine him being made of jelly or trapping him under a large glass like she would a pesky fly. Finally, she decided that he was not worth such intricate attention, and so she turned to meet him. He reached for her, and she kicked him in the groin."
Elli tries hard to imagine a song Eddy would devise to work the theremin. She gets distracted by the surreal problem as she tries a little too hard to imagine a song that never existed.
This triggers the theremin to hurl them all through time and space to find the closest thing to that song, which would likely fling her into Eddy's past.
Sucking the fun out of it. The most crucial thing is that it keeps being fun. Don't let ambition or self-discipline blind you to that, or it will murder your delight.
Preserve the enjoyment of writing. First and foremost.
This also means you should not fall for the romantic idea of being obsessive. Invest in healthy working habits for your creative endeavours.

Do you have favorite words you like to use? If so, what are they?
Herein lies the origin of the series title: "Ethereal."
I initially used it to describe the pagan deities. It became their species designation, and later, the kingdom's name as the world-building showed an entangled history between the kingdom and these gods.
Sadly, now I have incorporated it this way, I must break my heart and edit/replace my most beloved word when used in descriptions to avoid overuse.
