just realised i forgot to update this thread so here's a bunch of stuff

The Djinns:

—A group of semi-demonic creatures that have the ability to “drink” the magic out of creatures

—they can also possess people and some even grant wishes

—some millennia ago, there was a schism between Djinns who used their power for the good of the world [the Light Djinns] and those who used their power only for themselves [Dark Djinns]

—The Dark Djinns were exiled to the Pit/Underworld

—They’re led by King Eravin [uh-RAV-in] and Queen Alamore [ah-luh-MOR-ay]

—Oganesson goes to the Dark Djinns because he needs a magic-sucking ally

—He hires Gijinna [gih-JIN-nuh], Djinn princess, third in line to the Djinn throne

—She’s a formidable warrior who has long-standing beef with Delphi

—which is exactly why Oganesson wants as of her, so Gijinna will focus on Delphi instead of him

—he’s taking a calculated risk here, because he’s a powerful god and some Djinns have self-control issues when it comes to powerful creatures

—Gijinna is one of those

—She drank the magic from a minor goddess about a millennia ago [Delphi tried to save the goddess but failed, and swore she would annihilate Gijinna] and her parents have kept her on a short leash since then

—Gijinna’s polite to Oganesson whole her parents are around, but once she gets to the CD compound she has an almost adversarial attitude towards him

—she’s testing him, trying to make him snap so she’ll have grounds to take his magic

—what she doesn’t know is that she’ll get two gods worth of magic because Xenon’s still in there somewhere

—ultimately that would kill her but it would also kill Oganesson and Xenon

—“clayidi” keeps autocorrecting into “Clay idiot” and no autocorrect stop

—whenever I hear electric swing music I think of Bex

—Bex as a flapper

—GGaD 1920s America au!

—like Lackadaisy but with GGaD characters

—the assassins are all smugglers and Hester runs a speakeasy

—the gods are all tycoons? or really influential businesspeople

—ig that makes the corrupted gods corrupt businessmen?

—367 words of plot outline=44949 words of GGaD fic

—so does that mean 10376 words total in plot outline = 1269717.39 words of GGaD fic?

—oh no

—that’s too many words

—there must be some mistake

—what have I done

—ig this means my chapters are too long

— Delphi - magic = normal eyes

—I was rereading everything I’ve posted on this thread and saw “redtailed hawk” as “redacted hawk” and dyslexia??? or am I just really tired

Some fairytale au stuff

—Xenon’s top three generals were his wife Melody, Saiyegh, and [human] Enten

—his personal guards were the rest of the Noble Guard [Anty, Kinsix, and Rannix, led by Enten] and other imperial soldiers would be the freedom fighters

—When Micah was captured by evil witch Hester, Xenon sent out an army to find him, led by Melody Jakarta

—Melody and half of her company were killed in a trap evil witch Hester set, which evil witch Hester is happy to make Micah watch

—Xenon, devastated by the loss of his wife and his only child, closed his kingdom to all outsiders and went into mourning

—he also passed laws banning witches in his kingdom and set off anti-witch hysteria

—Around the time Micah starts bodyguarding for Damian, Xenon starts to open things back up

—he’s thought about what happened for a good decade and realises he made a rash decision with the bans and the lockdown

—he issues a formal apology to all witches and reopens his kingdom

—also passes decrees on hate crimes to protect witches from public backlash

—he’s coming out of mourning and looking for alliances with other kingdoms,

—he also knows that he can’t be king forever and he’ll need a new heir eventually, but he’s still grieving too much to form any new relationships

—he ends up in MJ’s kingdom looking for an alliance [he has a grand vision of a group of kingdoms coming together to mutually support each other in the event of disaster or war] and that’s where he finds Micah

—MJ forces Damian to be there [and sober] to receive him [“it’s one of your duties as a prince”], and Micah is there because it’s his job to follow Damian around

—Prince/ss Calidi is also there, meaning huntsman Clay is most likely nearby

—Xenon comes to request an alliance and he’ll stay in MJ’s kingdom for a few days

—after his first appearance, Damian bugs Micah about him

—“he looks a lot like you” “you’ve said that about seventeen gazillion times, prince.”

—Micah knows that’s his dad and tries to avoid him and all questions about him

—But one fateful day....

—it’s o-Dark-thirty and both Xenon and Micah are up

—Xenon’s coming back from the courtyard [he says night air helps him clear his head] and Micah’s headed to Damian’s room to stand guard/sleep in a chair outside his door

—they’re both lost in their heads and they turn a corner at the same time and run into each other

— Micah’s like “yikes!” so he drops to a kneel and keeps his head bowed, apologising

—Xenon’s reply is “no, no, it’s alright, stand, please”

—Micah does, reluctantly, trying to keep his face hidden in the shadows, but Xenon still recognises him

—“By all the gods, is that you, Micah?”

—Micah’s two choices are to deny or admit it, and he doesn’t think denial will work so he says, “,,,,yeah?”

—Xenon crushes him in a hug and breaks down

—and to both of their surprise, Micah’s getting emotional too

—he’s getting a flood of memories of his old life before evil witch Hester kidnapped him and he’s missing his mom a lot now

—Xenon’s elated and he peppers Micah with a bunch of questions

—Micah’s like “Uh well I’m kinda on duty right now, maybe later?”

—Xenon lets him go after extracting a promise to explain everything the next day

————//////////————-

—Micah while with Oganesson has been missing Damian a lot

—he’s wanted to try and sneak away but he knows Oganesson would find him and use Damian against him

—when he does finally see Damian again and figures out Damian hasn’t forgotten about him/still loves him, he’ll burst into tears

—he’s gonna have trouble talking about everything that’s happened

—so Damian might show him the memory projector globe Chan got him for Christmas, so the people who want/need to know what happened can see without Micah having to talk

—would the globe get hot when used a lot? or with high intensity emotion? if so after a few minutes Micah has to take his hands away because it’s too hot to touch
