Sadly I haven’t been birding in a long time because it’s not safe to go alone, and uh family issues… so yeah it’s been a hot minute. We live near a super cool wildlife refuge though, it has so many birds! I’ve seen a couple great horned owls there, if you go in the winter evening it’s the best. They start courtship in winter,…

@felicity

I love your user name. It’s so cheerful! 🙂

I’m glad you like it! It (almost) shares the name of a song (Sara smile) that I like the tune of , but don’t know many words to.

My favorite day of the week is either Friday (I don’t make dinner Fridays), or Saturday (I make my weekly call to my grandparents Saturdays)

I have no idea what t…[Read more]

@acancello

I, also am a homeschooler with little-to-no drawing talent! And I like dogs, who doesn’t (rhetorical question)!?

1. My favorite book series is unquestionably Anne of Green Gables.
2. I normally like to write once or twice a week.
3. I don’t play any sports, but I like doing crafts! Especially things like origami and carving. I have…

@mineralizedwritings

Yeah, you don’t want to make other people feel like the student. I think complimenting things you like about other peoples stories too helps, it shows even though there are things about the writing you might have a lot of information about changing, there are still things in the writing that you find admirable. It can even b…

@80strish  Don’t I know you from somewhere? School, perhaps?

My favorite time period is either the 1830s or the 1890s; It’s so hard to pick!

My favorite kind of music is probably brass music, because I play a brass instrument, but I also like classical.

@freedomwriter76

I’m Homeschooled too! As for my answers:

1. Favorite ice cream flavor: Chocolate (I suppose I’m somewhat boring in that regard… though I did try coffee ice cream at one point and liked it)
2. Current WIP: It’s a Sci-Fi story (or supposed to be, I’m struggling to implement the sci-fi bit) with a kid who… does something with…

@sarahsmile

Hi Sarah! I’m TheArcaneAxiom. I love math, physics, worldbuilding, conlanging, and many other nerdy things. I love to read and write SSF stories, and exploring themes of divine, fundamental truths of reality.

Questions!!!

What intrigues you about history?

You said you like mysteries, do you enjoy writing them? If so, how do you…[Read more]

@loopylin

Thanks! The beginning seeds of it started during 2020. Again though, the cool thing about it is that it allows so much change in worlds. If I have a different world or story I want to tell, the magic system works in such a way where it can be put in seamlessly. So me and my sister also have too many story’s but we essentially just make…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Yeah! That actually sounds like a cool story I’d read. It sounds like an Alien learns about human trauma, or experiences it or something, right? That would be really cool! It could get into complex themes of what it means to be human and stuff.

I totally change my worlds constantly! My current one me and my sister are working on has…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

Yeah, I’m glad your working on that. Study would be the best option yeah. Just remember there’s always another way to explain something!

@mineralizedwritings

I get that! Sometimes it’s hard to feel how much to share, imo if somebody asks for help, you can go all out on whatever they asked for help with. I’m a little cautious, so unless it’s somebody I know, I don’t give much advice unless asked of it.

Yeah, that’s probably where I go wrong sometimes. I’ll occasionally rant at peop…[Read more]

@lightoverdarkness6

Cool! Yeah, that clears things up a lot. Sorry if I made too many assumptions, thanks for elaborating! Does 5 not seem a little old though? That’s the age most children begin school. You say that he still remembers, but comprehension of mom, dad, and sibling names would long since been well ingrained into his mind at that…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Yeah, no worries! I can respect that, I just hope that you can give it a chance eventually when you have the time, sorry if I come off rude in any way. This is simply something very unique in quality, and it’s hard to stress that properly.

@esther-c

Wait really? We aren’t supposed to critique here? I feel so bad now!

@keilah-h

Well kinda, I think that’s definitely often the case with low budget stuff. But esspecially within the past decade, and 2020’s even more so, mainstream companies like Disney are throwing money at everything, hoping for some stuff to stick, but it doesn’t often. It’s just turned into a money machine with no care for the fans and good writing.

@whalekeeper

Yes! And I’m really hoping that the new wave of Avatar stuff is actually good, us fans have been disappointed too many times with any expansions of the universe.

@keilah-h

It’s good from start to finish, but if your unsure, keep watching until you get to episode 12, the storm.

@esther-c

Yep! So you should make conlangs! That way you can have languages you like!

@keilah-h

Yeah, but ultimately, animation is not what makes a good story. You can tell a really good story from pure visuals, but in most cases, people try using good visuals to make up for bad writing. In the case of Avatar, it’s good animation, and the animation gets better each season, and the writing goes far beyond that.
