Eeek!

XD Let’s see what we can do with this….

@hybridlore

You should! It’s soooo good!

@linus-smallprint

Wheel of Time is on my to read list. My characters are separated into groups/by themselves at the moment, but they are going to meet up at some point in the not so distant future. I think there are two together, and the other four are alone somewhere, but two of them will meet up shortly.

How does character B’s plot impact c…

Oh! I like them. The first is very lonesome/dreamy, and the second does well painting its picture.

@esther-c

Glad you like it! 😀

@ellette-giselle

Hmmmmm.

Ok. I’m seeing a child soldier type. He’s got a past and he doesn’t care what he does because he doesn’t want to care. Yet he also feels he still has something to accomplish. He could be redeemable, or he could be an incredible thorn in the MC’s side. As for who he is… I don’t know. I think he was once connected to…[Read more]

Snack recipe for everyone. :]

Ingredients

1 cup butterscotch chips (the small kind for melting)

1/2 cup peanut butter

2 cups miniature marshmallows

1 can (3 ounce) chow mein noodles

Instructions

1. Put the peanut butter and butterscotch into a saucepan over a rustic medieval fire (this is a must); stir until melted.

2. Mix up the…[Read more]

*Actively avoiding discussion on this matter even though my perspective is very relevant to the topic because my family avoided Christmas for eight years* Who wants a hopscotch recipe??

@koshka @mineralizedwritings @elishavet-pidyon

Thank you. (: It’s based a little on a time when I periodically visited my great-grandfather.

@freed_and_redeemed

Thank you! It’s for my new WIP. (Which you probably already know. XD)

I like yours. His character is always interesting to see illustrated visually. The contrast of tender love for his children and the dark realities of his past right next to each other is incredible. ❤️ And the quites add hope. ☺️

@whalekeeper

That’s… Really bittersweet. It feels very much like it’s inside a person’s head. As the child who grew up going to nursing homes, I like it. The end makes it sweet.

@stephie

I still love role playing games, even though I don’t play them very often anymore.😂 Dollhouse, except it would catch fire, tea party, but the rubber duck’s little brothers would find a way to wreck it, new rubber ducks had to make perilous journeys to reach the other ones, a ridiculous amount of romantic drama…our toys have int…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oh very interesting! I really like it. It feels like the perspective of somebody who is forgetting their life but still loves the people around them through confusion.

@koshka

I do that to chocolate cream pies, but that goes without saying.

Do you make French silk pies? We do that, and coconut cream pies. There’s also something called hopscotch, which is a mixture of peanut butter, butterscotch, marshmallows, and uncooked chow mein noodles.

That would be… interesting.

It would be. I’d rather not risk it. XD

@koshka

Yeeeeesss 😭 I’m tasked with making them each year, and I secretly eat the masa and meat raw like cookie dough… 😬

My shower thoughts sometimes turn into poems. 😛

No name.

Ten years I’ve lost my ever-changing mind.

My words have slowed, and must be redefined.

Your name slips on my tongue, a stranger’s taste;

The dullness and the gray leave me misplaced.

A nursing home will try to…[Read more]

@grcr

Well… I’ve read books with 100+ chapters, so it wouldn’t bother me at all. The book I’m reading right now is YA fantasy with roughly 70 chapters. If your chapters are a little short, it might make sense to combine some of them so it doesn’t feel too choppy. But otherwise it’s all up to you.

@koshka

Tamales especially are definitely a holiday food here. Although that doesn’t mean we don’t eat them year round, which we do, they’re just a Christmas tradition I guess.

No waaaay. O.O That’s our tradition! We have homemade tamales for Christmas dinner every year, plus a huge smorgasbord of cheese, meats, candies, etc.

@elishavet-pidyon

It just wouldn’t be Christmas without a Fisherprice nativity.😃

@theshadow

I do. I also have friends who do not. One family I know celebrate a Christian version of Hanukkah instead, which is essentially celebrating how Jesus brought light into the world. The other doesn’t observe anything that could be confused with Winter Solstice and Yule. For me, I agree with @power . The holiday is what you make it.
