Melissa 

The smell of vomit reached Mel’s nose, and her eyes opened. She sat up and looked around.

“Eeeeewwwwwww,” she whined, her voice getting higher pitched. She scrambled to her feet. “What’d you do that for?”

The little ball of a girl on the ground mumbled something Mel couldn’t hear. She crouched and stared at the strange…[Read more]

@rae

No…no! No! If I had just reached her…if I had just stayed with her…it’s my fault…

Bro it was not your fault. She was right behind you and you were doing your best.

Lucy

“Mhnn… no, you can’t find me yet. Not ready…” Someone mumbled nearby.

Lucy threw up on the grass. She was too dizzy to open her eyes, so she turned over to face the voice and curled into a tight fetal position. She buried her face into her rumpled trousers. “Uugghh… Shhh-Shut up…”

@rae

Oh wow, that was a big crash out. I’m sorry, Gabriel. I’ve really been making life hard for you. But also it’s very cool that you managed to break through the wall.

@rae @keilah-h

Sorry for throwing a wrench into things but I suddenly felt like this was an opportune time for the labyrinth to abduct her. So uh… Don’t worry, she’ll come back, this will be a temporary diversion for drama’s sake. XD

Mellissa

Mel dreamed that she was in school. She squirmed in her orange plastic chair, the teacher droning on in the distance. That was enough of that. She stood up and walked to the back of the classroom. Up on the wall was a familiar poster with a cartoon student standing tall with a smile on his face. The poster’s words swam a…[Read more]

Lucy

Lucy needed some space, so she sat next to her family door. The letterbox was dark and the faint buzzing had stopped since she was last there. She propped her elbows on her knees, covering her face with her hands.

Her feelings were always so confusing. Her chest often held a deep, inconsolable frustration that had…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Oooo, interesting question. I’ve definitely wanted to include more “different” abilities. It’s just a bit of a balance, since I want everything to fit a character and story. I won’t add something just to rep it, without any reason in the story or character’s personality. If that makes sense? I have been wanting to write something…[Read more]

@power

I’m getting flash backs to our conversation about Nicolai Fechin’s portraits. XD
I like these portraits. This method of shading and slightly impressionistic style is working out really well.
And if course the unicorn. How can we bypass the unicorn. 🤩🦄

@ellette-giselle

Da! I have the day off today, so I’ll draw something new. I’ve actually started doing a visual journal, which I highly recommend doing, but the last page was a little too… IDK. Not personal, exactly, but I think I’ll make something new for the circle. Maybe. I played with abstract stuff, kinda sectioned the page out like a…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I don’t know who the llama is but he’s funny lol

@whalekeeper

Um so is this a invitation to rant about Flax?

XD

Flax had a disease that made him lose his feathers (This came from my phase of being obsessed with birds where I learned that birds have a limited number of feather sets in their lifetime, leading to ones who pluck their feather to become bald) So he isn’t able to fly even after…[Read more]

Also, I’m undecided on this, but Felicity might have a very minor physical disability with some long term frostbite damage from her childhood. (Ironic and very on the nose, I know)

@whalekeeper

That’s a good question. I have plenty of mentally disabled characters, but I never really thought about how many physically disabled characters I had.

I’m realizing now that I only have one, but they’re a major spoiler.

I may also have one more to if chronic illnesses count. But also spoilers, lol.

I used to have a half deaf, half…[Read more]

Dante

“I don’t want you to defeat them. I want you to realize you have free will. Why did you kill those men? Because someone else told you to, I bet. That’s not brave. That’s following orders. So the Agents are going to find you and kill you. The day you die is inevitable. Fine. So you’re free. You can’t change that fact, so do whatever the h…[Read more]

This is very random but I was talking with my brother this afternoon, and KP came up. He asked me if any of y’all have physically disabled characters and if so, what are they like?

Does anyone have a physically disabled main or side character? What is their disability and what is the character’s role in the story?

@ellette-giselle

Dante 

Dante grinned at him. “So you’re not always a coward. You’re great at standing up for yourself when your opponent is wounded, doesn’t have combat training, and is much smaller than yourself.” He carefully set down the mug on the floor and held up his hands in surrender. “I’ll stop throwing things.”

@ellette-giselle

Dante 

Still lying on the couch, Dante blinked up at him in surprise. “Huh. Nice,” he said. On the counter next to him, there was a mug full of yellow pencils. He reached for it, stretching, but felt a sudden rip in his side. He flinched and gasped in pain, but then ignored it and grabbed the mug. He fished out one of the…[Read more]

Dante

Dante nodded slowly. He paused a moment, then shifted around on the couch, looking for something. He selected a cushion, inspected it, and then tossed it at Rory’s face.
