I know. It’s awful. XD

@whalekeeper

Some of these were more “research inspired by books” than research for books.

• Dead bodies can bleed at the mouth and nose if moved after the blood pools.
• Although black was a much sought after color of fabric in the middle ages, we don’t have many examples that survived to today, as the dyes used to make a solid black were…

Oooooo, so are MC 2 and the villain related perhaps???

Love Alden’s boots. XD

Very intrigued indeed…

@ellette-giselle

Sure!

*Chokes on tea*

@ellette-giselle

Let’s see if I can describe what’s in my head without a picture.

You’ve seen the sketch I did of Silvia’s suit, correct? Well, his has the same basic design and structure (without the skirt of course). Each piece seals on the inside with the next peice, so there’s no openings, slits, or such. The material is a type of layered…[Read more]

@godlyfantasy12

AHHH YES Zlati and Vulka are dears. XD

Honestly, I’ve been reworking their story recently (the plot just got another layer of intrigue that I didn’t see coming [Zlati’s plot has been rearranged and he may or may not have ended up in the middle of an assassination attempt on accident…) and I’ve been wanting to rant about it, but…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

XD that’s hilarious.

It’s a cool picture. And yeah, I get it. If I got a pic that had Leoron’s actual armor I’d freak out, even if the background was a pink balloon arch.

@whalekeeper

I’d have to look again, but while studying for an essay a year ago, I did find some documentation/studies on children displaced by the Blitz, if that would be helpful.

It’s the reason Viktor now spends part of his child nonverbal, and reenacts a lot of stuff in his play for about a year. (Throws his sister’s doll into the kitchen…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ahh, that makes sense.

Also, really appreciate the interesting hem on his hood, and I didn’t know they used spandex fabrics in the empire. Lol. These are things I notice. XD

(And why a short clip of The Chosen I saw drove me absolutely batty. I may have to limit my history hobbies for my own sanity. *Sigh*)

XD

Not that breathing holes would be strictly needed, but considering he wears it near constantly, and appears to be a very active individual, I’d expect them.

Anyway….

@ellette-giselle

Interested in which new guy? The prince or Marius.

 

Again, which kid? The prince, or Marius?

Um, both? Seriously, the possibilities I’m the next few chapters are very concerning to my author mind.

And with what those two kids have been through?! Already? And you haven’t even had much time to beat them up either, no offense.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oooooo, dark and secretive taken quite literally I see. Very interested in this new character guy. Not surprised the poor kid got hurt.

Where’s this face claim? O.O

And sure! I’m always up to listening through people’s playlists (and maybe borrowing music from time to time).

Although…if I ever get to learn Saber fencing…*sighs*

@ellette-giselle

I wish I was athletic? XD

I like the slight burn that comes from steady running, but side pain tends to come first. I like to bike and hike, but (as some already mentioned) I’m in school and working a desk job. Which means most of the steady exercise I get is daily five-ten minute power walks crossing campus between classes.

As…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Soccer is fun. I always understood kickball more, but I have a friend who was a goalie for years. It’s very much a thing in Hispanic culture, so we see a lot of it.

I’m personally not super sporty. I live in college football country, but it’s possibly my least favorite sport. I like badminton though, and pingpong, and kinda…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Retro/historical anything is pretty splendid. XD

My most recent book research went like this:

Bionic lungs

Underwater smoke bombs

Infrared contact lenses

Memory blocking drugs

I obviously was reviewing a spy school idea. Before that it was a stereotypes about Londoners and Scottish slang phrases. Although, I think the most…[Read more]

I would not probably join another form of social media. It’s one thing if it’s a closed forum, which would be fantastic, and which I wouldn’t mind paying a small fee to help support. (Small, as in up to $50 a year.) I don’t know much about other media, except that I don’t love it.

@whalekeeper

I also don’t want to leave unless we’re banished. If you think contacting Sir. DeGraaf will help, then I would say, try it. Even if it’s just for advice on facing down bugs. Do you know if he knows the current KP moderators?
