472. Picture This: How would any (or all) of your characters defeat Dracula? Credit: @ HeliaXyana Hm🤔 this goes into Galaxy Glyde I think the Drakk Ula'H are a cast of a nocturnal Species that has a parasitic relationship to the other Native sentient species on their Home planet F'n TeZih, the H'Mo G'Blin. Unlike the Drakk U'Hnda who are an aquatic species or the Drakk Ku'win, who are peaceful shapeshifter, the Drakk Ula'H hunt the H'Mo G'Blin, little metal based humanoids that gather in large groups, and try to lick their iron rich sweat from their body's. The only working protection, against that, is believe in the god GR'Lik. To win against them one needs to expose their week point, their tongue to the holy water of GR'Lik. The water needs to be applied directly after they liked of the Iron from an H'Mo G'Blin. It then produces a sulfur smell, a substance that melts Drakk Ula'H taste buds, thus making the attacker flee immediately. #pennedpossibilities 472 #GalaxyGlyde #writing

My "first drafts" are often bonkers and rough, I take a lot of inspirations from other stories I liked & create something that is just plainly Fan Fiction trash... Than I take this lump of "garbage" & reshape it. Maybe clay would be a better name as "garbage."😅
With time passing, the world takes shape, it's interesting to see, how it fits together, what gets deleted or moved over into other projects.
Sometimes I reuse stuff, which is kinda interesting to see how it evolves depending on the project. It's a bit like the road one has not taken or convergent evolution.
Sometimes I wonder how I moved from the idea to the end but most times all my changes are at least documented, if I don't loose all backups. I really should do another copy of them...😅
