Highly recommend the anime movie Legend of Hei. Starts off a little slow but the relationship which the movie revolves around is very satisfying. Best watched with friends who appreciate both action scenes and fuzzy feelings :]

@rae

I would approach any character as an androgynous person first, and build up a semblance of personality before developing them with gender in mind. Because otherwise you might fall into your default female tropes.

It’s like what Esther said, thinking of them as a character rather than a girl/guy.

Literally, with one protagonist of mine, I…[Read more]

Ah ok! Wow, I can’t believe it’s been that long already!

@mineralizedwritings

Looks like yours is Sept. 21, 2022! You’re only one month off from me!!

@grcr

Thank you, and congrats too! 🥳

@mineralizedwritings

I go to my page, topics, and scroll down to my first ever post which was on the Start Here forum. ;]

@whalekeeper

woah that means mine must be 2 years too! Where do you see it?

@hybridlore

You’re right – personality is soo a part of interpreting mental process. Even if it only covers the surface.

@grcr

That’s crazy! I just checked, and my KP birthday is August 10th… 2 years 🙃

@ellette-giselle

But Turin and Edwin died.

I’m just telling the story.

lol.

I knooow, I’m sorry for questioning the fabric of the story 😂😅 But I think we can all agree that these stories come from our minds, and sometimes we need to adjust our inventions. I’m not saying you have to change their deaths, I’m pointing out how I as the reader feel a…[Read more]

Oh, and does he look cocky? You mention his being prideful, is it obvious by looking at him? I love drawing character with a slight smirk but I want to make sure that is in line with his character if I do lol

@ellette-giselle

oh ok this sounds cool!

I think I’ll draw him as a prince, could you describe his hair and features a little more? I mean I can use creative liberties, but like how long is his hair?

Also, would you describe him as being a little bit rough around the edges prince or really trim and neat?

For instance, Aragorn is a king that…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I do feel uncertain about killing off Edwin and Turin. I understand Edwin, but both guys? It feels like half the cast has died and there isn’t much left in terms of motivation for the reader.

Reading the earlier chapters, I expected Aaron and Turin to develop a friendship which would become a staple of the book until at least…[Read more]

@linus-smallprint

I definitely have difficulty writing guys. They seem like a completely different species and I struggle to get in their heads. Probably because my brothers and their friends are so weird.😂

These are guys I can remember at the moment. (Sorry if any people didn’t want to be tagged)

@calyhuge @thearcaneaxiom @folith-feolin @otherworldlyhistorian

Ellette would love some feedback on the scene above, It is about a male character in grief, and it’s mostly troubleshooting at this point.

Definitely an important topic. I think other people will benefit from this topic more than me because my approach to emotions is  mixed (if we’re talking male vs female mindsets) whenever I feel insecure in a given situation. Linus mentioned on another topic that he views emotions as problems to solve, and that resounds with me. I am still more…[Read more]

Like I don’t just feel the emotions by themselves, I deal with them analytically.

@ellette-giselle

I know about maybe ten guys on here, and one of them knows me irl. So don’t worry, it isn’t just Linus and Jonas 😂

@ellette-giselle @linus-smallprint

*Comes back to an interesting conversation*

Okay, I actually have input for this.

Linus:

I hear when girls are upset, you want to just simply talk about it and how you feel. When I rant about my problems, I am not looking for someone to sympathize with me (even if I think I am). I am looking for a solution.…
