Just wondering… Does anyone else do this?

While researching some stuff for school about Soviet era factories, I ran into The Picture. I’ve had this picture saved on my phone for years because the girl in it struck me in that “Story Detector” bit of my brain. I don’t know who she really was, or if I’ll even ever write her story as I hear it…[Read more]

Winifrith has come to share a lot of my own struggles just as she shares a similar background. Because of this development, she’s been in my head lately. After getting splatted by you, I mentioned doing my next defense as her. 🙂

Anyone got a name for a tough, honest, but also really sweet and cheerful mom friend character who gives really good hugs? She’s somewhere in her thirties and I’m imagining her as a redhead, but that could change. The only name I can think of is Rosie, but that doesn’t quite fit.

(Oh my gosh, I was about to use the middle finger emoji to point up 😭 I am so stupid lol! I never EVER use that emoji and I wasn’t looking so I clicked it and then quickly deleted it 😭😭😭😭)

XD I would have laughed so hard if you did. Don’t worry, I wouldn’t believe that you would intentionally do that. I’ve almost acciden…[Read more]

He took her “try to keep up” as a little insulting. There was no way that this girl was faster than he when he charmed the wind.

Lol Fel’s just being cocky. It would take a lot for her to acknowledge that she is not on the same level as all the super powered characters.

I LIVE!

Hidden words in world unknown gleamed in her blade. Winifrith tuned it and watched the reflected fire dance across the ceiling. A blade of Elisai, forged in the breath of the Lighted One. Some things were too sacred for wonder to grasp. 

She sheathed it home by her…[Read more]

I haven’t actually watched either of these seasons all the way through. I know they are considered some of the best of Ninjago, and from what I know of them, Lloyd is pushed through some very interesting character development, but I don’t like the Oni and the Garmadon resurrection. (One problem I wish Nin…

Okay I’ll move to Chat Chat 😛

So many legos… *Nods* Our first exposure to Ninjago came from an old garage sale set. It was Jay’s jet/airplane thingy and one of the Fangpyre soldiers.

@linus-smallprint

This is true. I feel that Master of the Mountain had very random focus episodes, so Cole didn’t get as much story besides leading the quest. But I loved his mother’s lore.

Hot take (actually this is more of an unknown take): Sons of Garmadon and Hunted were great seasons for Cole specifically.

Oh boy,…[Read more]

Ah, Ninjago. #GiveColeAFocusSeason

I agree with Linus that you should only have a few split groups. I personally don’t mind having groups over one large group. That would be one way to divide your characters so they each get a unique perspective in a unique plot thread.

This is a very common way to handle multiple protagonists. Series like Stormlight Archive and Redwall do this…[Read more]

@rae Nice, I like it. Always liked that historical event, it reminds me of how people in the Civil War had to fight against their own relatives. It shows how some Germans saw other human beings in the trenches, and managed to relate to them, which is a really brave thing to do in a war.

Marcel — Elderstrand (w/Group 1)

The hand motions were a little unfamiliar, but Marcel could guess from Leon’s expression that they weren’t in any immediate danger.

Marcel made the same hand motion. “We’re good.”

He was slightly dissatisfied with the answer, since Felicity and…[Read more]
