your characters are so amazing! i love the way you use thematic elements in character design and how each individual oc has their own symbol. also the way you incorporate historical and punk aesthetics into your stories is awesome ngl. i have a lot of feelings about the birdverse, and all that bird symbolism (because bird symbolism is cool, and because it's so hard to find and so rare these days, despite its potential). also flying cities? steampunk?? airships????? wow. victorian aesthetics?? yes.
this ended up being kind of long, lol. tl;dr your characters are sick af.
Oh wow, I'm here reading this comment at like 5am and I wish I were more awake so I could respond properly. I'm humbled that you took all that time to read through my characters' profiles and my project summaries!
Oh yes, I absolutely do enjoy associating characters with timeless concepts via symbolic animals, objects and other entities--in fact I'd even say that that's the one thing that ties all my work together, and I'm glad you noticed because I don't think anyone else has pointed it out! E&S is 100% bird symbolism, maybe I'll publish the novel someday and everyone will get to see all the bird (and other thematic) metaphors it's drowning in.
And yes, steampunk is still one of my most beloved genres to this day, anything surrounding the industrial revolution and the late 1800s is so cool (as is anything to do with the Interwar period, but I have yet to write anything set then).
Once again, thank you for taking the time out of your day to write this incredibly nice comment! It reminded me that there's been a few things I've been meaning to upload, and I'll get around to it eventually!
