I try to be authentic to the character while I'm writing the story, when I go back for the re-read I tend to remove the swears that seem like excess. I feel much more comfy writing my characters as they appear in my mind, rather than putting them in a box. Though I do make them wash their mouth...

Hmm, understood, could you still use my idea (The Djinn secretly being the 'evil' sort) though with that? Not saying you have to, but it's something that might work. If not we can throw darts at a dartboard until we find something that sticks.

Update: Presents opened, it was all three metroid prime 4 amiibo. Now granted, I could have bought them myself with christmas money. But it makes them special if they come from someone else. We don't really do birthdays at our house anymore so Christmas is kinda the only time I could ask for that.

I agree, though that's a thing that could easily become it's own sub plot. Animal 'care' is essential regardless. I do have Griffins and Pegusi in my story (and lesser dragons, like the size of toothless, nobody messes with the proper 'big boy' dragons that could chomp a building in one bite.)...

If Griffins are anything like horses, they would likely like room to roam even if it's something similar to a pasture, and since unlike horses they can fly. I'd assume a more 'humane' caretaker of them would want them to be happy. Better than their caretakers constantly getting their arms chewed...

I'd argue a dragon would be harder to keep fed appropriately than a Gryphon would depending on their size. Do you have any idea how big of an aviary you'd need to contain a Gryphon to keep them in a good mood and feel 'free' though? Zoos already have gigantic ones for regular old Hawks. I...

My mom is being a silly and asking me if I wanted to open my present now. I know what it is (Cause I picked it out) but I want to be patient and wait for when everyone else opens their present. I'm not 5 years old anymore mom lol

Yeah, about 90% of my characters swear as little as I do (and even then I mean like, the occasional shit, hell (like 'hell if I know') or damn) for the other 10% that present themselves as potty mouths I sit them down and say 'look, I love you but we needa talk' and somehow when I start to write...

From what material I've seen on the Djinn, they tend to be a bit more mischievous 'be careful what you wish for' kind of Genie, not particularly 'evil' but certainly not as Compassionate as Genies. Like they grant the wish, but only to make a point about you didn't really need that wish granted...

I try to let my characters swear a little bit, when it seems to make sense, but you'll rarely find a chapter in my stories with more than ten instances swears, most of the time you won't find more than five; and even then most of the time it's the occasional 'shit' or 'damn' nothing like, foul...

Hear me out, the ultimate bad guy for everything is the Djinn. Genies/Djinn have multiple depictions, and one that goes underused is the Djinn who is actually evil and just manipulating folks. You specifically use the word Djinn too, which is commonly used to depict the more 'evil' genies...

Because of how cautious my parents are about the content I consume, I have to be extremely cautious of when and how I allow my characters swear. Which can be hard, even though I realize my characters aren't 'me' my parents are the 'what you write is a representation of your views' type and like...

In Fire Emblem Gryphons are pretty much treated the same as Pegasi (yes 'si' as in there are many of them, though not as common as the average horse) Though the Gryphon's require notably better riding skills than the much more docile (and even domesticated) Pegasi. They're no where near as rowdy...

there's quite a lot of 'tech' in this world from simple stuff like microwaves (that most people don't understand how to use) to vending machines etc, there's proper fantasy tech too. One item is a thermos that has a sigil on it that allows it to refill itself with whatever drink was first poured...

That's kind of what I was tryina say, I do a lot of world building myself, but like I don't waste a ton of time building an excess of the world that I'll never use. Readers won't need to know why the cheese trade routes are so risky and only certain mages know how to make it. They just need to...
