Celarent

Celarent side-eyed Mateo. Dead for a long time, eh? He certainly looked it. Celarent turned back to Bird Boy. He seemed decent enough.

“This is my first day. Does everyone have wings where you’re from?” Living on the streets, Celarent didn’t know much about other countries, but he’d assumed that none of their…[Read more]

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]

@hybridlore

It’s only because we love him!

@mineralizedwritings

I get a lot of references from Pinterest, but I’ve heard theres a growing amount of ai art on it so ughhhh.

Yeah, there is. 😕 It’s pretty identifiable though, so I just avoid clicking on them and prompting the algorithm. Otherwise I love finding stuff on there.

I usually use references from shows I like.

I don’t watch shows o…[Read more]

It might help if you read over what you wrote before you post it. That way, if you’ve said angry things, you have time to think a little more about changing up your words.

@the_lost-journal

You’re not trying to cause arguments at heart, right? Take a deep breath. It’s normal to have all kinds of thoughts when you read something for the first time. Maybe you’re struggling to know what to say and what to keep to yourself.

@whalekeeper

Oops I totally missed this lol!

I get a lot of references from Pinterest, but I’ve heard theres a growing amount of ai art on it so ughhhh. There’s still good stuff on there. I usually use references from shows I like. I recently watched a Donghua called Link Click (wait I haven’t ranted to you about this yet lol, it’s such a great…[Read more]

@hybridlore
😐👌 I will do that

@godlyfantasy12

now how did I forget to tag Whaley *virtual facepalm*

Lol don’t worry, I’m still reading. 😂

@the_lost-journal

If you want to talk about emotional struggles, you are free to do that. But I think Ellette simply wanted to make a joke about how much she likes soccer, and so it makes sense for her to defend her love of the sport when you responded with negativity.

@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]

I found Deus Lamb’s email. Do y’all want me to contact him first?

Tbh, the Paralympics is the only thing I watch on television. XD

@ellette-giselle

Exactly! My brother still exercises all the time, and he’s stronger than me despite being younger. He enjoys wall climbing too. It’s really funny because he has broad shoulders and strong arms, but his feet are tiny.

@ellette-giselle

scaling rocks and hiking mountains?

Those two activities pretty much sum up my vacation each year. XD

I wish I could be more active, but my parents told me to stop jiu-jitsu for now because I need treatment first. *grumpy* Literally all I’m allowed to do is walk my dog.

@ellette-giselle

Yep, he’s in a wheelchair! He has a birth defect where his spinal cord developed weirdly and his legs are… partially paralyzed? I’m not sure what the term is.

And that is my explanation for having a couple wheelchair-bound characters in my stories, lol.

@ellette-giselle

XD I’m active. I’m at dance 3-4 times a week and I lift weights thrice a week.

@freed_and_redeemed @ellette-giselle @I’mnotsure

Hey, do either of you (and/or someone else) have resources about PTSD based on actual interviews with WWII survivors? I can do my own research ofc, but just thought I’d ask. I know both of you are writing historical fiction about it.
