Oh, he is.🤣 I’ll have to remember that.

@theducktator

Sounds like a character XD

if you want to be confusing you can say  わかりません(Wakarimasen) which means ‘I don’t understand’  next time lol.

@mineralizedwritings

Our entire conversation was weird.🤣 He also randomly speaks in a British accent during co-op, so yeah. XD

@theducktator

Yw! I love language questions lol. Yeah Japanese doesn’t have the ah sound in abby, only the au sound so that probably is your name. Idk why somebody would say thanks in a language the recipient doesn’t know 😂😂

@mineralizedwritings

Thanks! That last word is supposed to be my name, I think. I’m Abby.

@theducktator

Oh that sounds cool! I’ve seen western towhees here, we get owls sometimes too.

Oh yes! I mean I don’t really speak it, but I can read basic stuff okay.

ありがとう is Arigatou, or thank you.

アビイ is Katakana, which is used for words that are foreign in Japan (Like American names). I’m assuming this is a Japanized version of the…[Read more]

My favorite bird I’ve ever seen is probably a Brown Booby. I live in the middle of Indiana, and I’m not sure how this bird got here, but he was at a state park 2 hours from my house, and my parents agreed to take a detour on our way to vacation. It was so cool!!!! And a couple days ago I saw my first Eastern Towhee, so…[Read more]

By the way, this article isn’t (or maybe it is) about psychological suffering, but since I’m pretty sure it’s point is what you’re intending in your stories, I’ll share it. It definitely changed the way I think of pain.

And it’s hilarious, so you know. Thought you’d enjoy.…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Ok, I will say that I enjoyed how it was carried off in this section. I agree with what @linus-smallprint said about that. It reminded me of The Healer by Dee Henderson. (A book about facing the grief of a broken world.) Very good.

What I say is redundant is the fact that it feels like more characters are dying than those who…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Eeellllllleeeeeeetttttttte………

Why shouldn’t you kill them? Well, because it’s getting redundant. I love your story and your characters. The setting has a unique feel of its own and the characters are compelling to say the least. However, unless you have a brand-new absolutely unseen point to make with more death, it may…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

That’s a pretty good addition to the scene! I don’t think that deviated from your story’s voice at all.

You’ll see. Then you will understand why other readers are mad at him. It wasn’t pretty.

Hehe, okay.

@ellette-giselle

Whaley asked the original question. XD

@linus-smallprint

even if it is his fault she was captured in the first place.

How did that happen exactly? Was it more of an ignorant blunder, or?

@linus-smallprint

Thank you. If you weren’t playing the advocate, would you take Ellette’s side?

I simply mean what I described. 👍 I’m not sure how it compares with the rest of your feedback discussions… I have very little context. XD

He he.

My mind reading powers are impeccable.

Thanks for the link by the way! I can’t guarantee I’ll read it…[Read more]

@theducktator

My brother is in Challenge 2, I am the frazzled senior trying to help him learn logic, debate, and Latin. 🙃

@ellette-giselle

Well, to be honest, I don’t know a lot of pree-teens who like to play dress-up and repeat whatever their sister tells them to say.

Good point. XD My siblings are a lot more willing to do stuff, but these are kids between the ages of 8 and 13. They still like to play “wolf fight” and “Indians.”

The funniest thing is, my most r…

@ellette-giselle

Sadly, my biggest two never got filmed because that was the year all my guy actors were done dressing up and repeating lines. lol.

They were too cool for school, huh? XD

@rae @theshadow

Do you guys want to try joining up with another small group?

Aw, Barnes is trying to be the comforting grandmother to everyone!

*Gasp* How dare you, she isn’t even forty yet! 😂 I get what you mean. Honestly she would be a pretty grumpy grandma. The grandma who complains about kids but gives them cookies all the…[Read more]
