I could do something simple. I think, since the others are doing the WWII charities, I’ll ask my sister to pick one from your distopian book, if that’s alright with you. I’m missing Eastern Europe.

*gasp* I could use him as a movement drill. I’m in a middle of a method using ballet dancers. (I say “him” because the next bit was…[Read more]

It seems to be working again. Thankfully, it did not eat your post. May it not eat mine.

Wilhelm

Morbid. Not the word he would choose, but then, was it all that different from “creature of the night?” He pushed the thought away with a shrug, a real one this time.

“Well, we could… What time is it?” Wilhelm turned to look out…[Read more]

Very true! We want people to think about what we do.

You should know this place is absolute chaos. And we’re all used to pretending it isn’t.

This describes Kingdom Pen in the best of ways, and this role play in the worst of ways. 😂

@ellette-giselle

I love how y’all are interpreting my sketch of him. Your comments are perfect. Rea…[Read more]

Wren

Wren’s face hardened a little with a sense of determination.

“I will. But… why haven’t the police been involved yet? What caused the death? What happened?” She was so caught up in the new information she was getting that she was forgetting to take notes. She watched Marcel intently.

Marcel

“There was at least one death,” Marcel mused. “I was there for that one. I hung the other two guys on the roof spires.”

Wren looked a little shaken.
“I’m sorry, that didn’t make any… You know what?” Marcel looked up from where he leaned against the bleachers. He shut his mouth, then opened it. “You should know this place is…[Read more]

I mean to ask what kind of handsome you are referring to! What is his face shape? Round, square, long? Does he have a long or short nose? What shape are his eyes?

If none of that matters to you, that’s fine. I shall find pictures of German youth and create from there.

Wren

Deaths. This caught her off guard. Wren had heard about many things like the bullying problems, non-students getting arrested on campus, and the dumpster fire supposedly started by students, but there had been absolutely no information about any deaths. She nodded and swallowed, trying to look less shocked than she…[Read more]

Marcel

Marcel read the card, then looked back up at the young woman. “Wren Tallow. You’re asking me about the deaths, aren’t you?”

I was kinda envisioning it with the old use of the term “world.” So the countries may be on the same planet, but some are so far away that they’re considered different “worlds” culturally, and might not have much communication with the other worlds. I also like the idea that some aren’t accessible without magic, like fairylands.

I am shivering in ridiculous amounts of delight. Why is it so exciting when someone accurately reads a character?

😂🤣 I get it. I feel the same way. The best way to make someone’s art feel seen and heard is to interpret it. Even if it’s not perfectly accurate, it means you’re actively thinking about it.

Why is it always portal fantasy

I think because it accommodates everyone. It’s the only way for all the characters to make sense and not constantly contradict each other.

I’m not trying to dictate how this works, so if we want it to be different, we can try to be more cohesive. Depends on what people want to do.

I like your conquering…

[Read more]

Yes! Yes yes yes! I am shivering in ridiculous amounts of delight. Why is it so exciting when someone accurately reads a character? Anyway, you are spot on. 😁

Wren

She glanced around at the game, realizing that even though her mission was important to her, it was likely an inconvenience to those more focused on PE. If only they understood what was at stake. But she tried her best to be accommodating.

“Now, or whenever you have the time.” She handed him one of her cards. “But it’s only a…[Read more]

There he is! Quite thoughtful looking, indeed. Gentle. The dear fellow could be so much more brash if he wanted to, but he’s too good. That’s my impression of him.

See, that’s what I thought at first. But then I started picturing it this way, because some of the characters know nothing about any other country. And that doesn’t make sense unless they’re all isolationist.

I’m confusing myself at this point

Yeah. I was picturing that it’s possible to go from one world to the other. Many worlds don’t know about each other. But some are very familiar with each other,

oh I thought that this was an au where everyone’s fantasy worlds were just separate countries in the same world. Not sure where I got that idea. I may need to rework some character thi…[Read more]

@whalekeeper He is a thoughtful guy. And thank you for your kind words. He needs all the love.

How would you describe Wolfgang’s facial features?

Who should I draw for you?

Hmmmmm… I’ll think about it. ;]

Ok. That is a very cool concept.

@ellette-giselle

Wilhelm

Wilhelm was beyond panicking. He tipped up his cup and savored the last few sweet mouthfuls of his mead. It grounded him.

“I am waiting for you to return to your senses.” He set his cup down. “See here. I would love to go there, if I could. And maybe I would try if that…[Read more]

Yeah, I know. XD

idk, I think of it as somewhere that belongs to none of their worlds. Like the wood between the worlds (see Narnia)

Yeah. I was picturing that it’s possible to go from one world to the other. Many worlds don’t know about each other. But some are very familiar with each other, to the point where countries from dif…[Read more]

There was a quiet respect in his voice that he didn’t try to hide. Marcel deserved it.

Aww. Reúven seems like such a thoughtful guy.
@loopylin
Marcel
Marcel had stopped playing to stand in the bleachers. His arm was scraped, and he was a little out of breath after playing for so long. No matter how good he felt after ex…[Read more]

Loll. They are. Wilhelm is absolutely serious.

Wilhelm

He was quiet for a while. He traced the family arms on his dagger’s hilt. A branch, a hawk, and a star.

He would kill some day. He would probably kill many people. If he wasn’t so distracted by the other part of their conversation, he might have been offended by the charge…[Read more]

I’ll probably draw Wolfgang! He is in the roleplay, after all, so that gives me more ideas to consider when drawing him.

“You really think you saw fairies or something in the garden? Are you sure it wasn’t some kids playing ghost tricks?”

Moth Prince: “Rude 🤨”

I wonder how all these boys’ worlds are supposed to connect together, because clearly they know nothing about each other.

Wilhelm

“Mythology!” It was all he could say for a moment. He laid his head in his hands. “I should kill you for saying that, you know.”

Wolfgang made an incredulous sound. Wilhelm looked up at his friend. “I do not know what a gun is, but I doubt the spirits of fire need them. They do not need weapons. I saw them once. They…[Read more]

Lol. He’s not exactly nefarious, and he’s good at coming up with excuses. I could have made him more suspicious, but I didn’t realize how hard it would be lol. This was a lot of fun anyway. Wren is a great character!

@whalekeeper

Wren 

Wren nodded and wandered over the boy who had been pointed out.

“Excuse me, would you-” She had to stop and start again louder to be heard over the shouting and squeaking rubber balls and tennis shoes. “Excuse me, would you be willing t…[Read more]

Oh my wordles. 😂

Wilhelm

“Nein!” Wilhelm caught Wolfgang by the sleeve. “It is the realm of gods and spirits. If we tried to go, either we would be so lost on the way that we would never reach it, or we would be burned alive upon entering! Do you understand?”

His face had drained of all color, and his eyes burned in his head…[Read more]

I’m back! Sorry for vanishing.

This is doing much for my worldbuilding.

Wilhelm

“I think,” Wilhelm began slowly, trying to decipher the terms Wolfgang had used. What was an airoplane? He shrugged mentally. “We are from very far away. Hold a moment-”

He got up and went to his little desk in the corner. A few moments of…[Read more]

All wonderful suggestions! I was going to ask if Reúven could direct her to Marcel, but since he’s being volunteered…

Loopy, I guess Wren does. XD I was giving her opportunity to be nosy sometime if she wanted, but she doesn’t have to do anything with it.

Reúven

“Oh, sure!” He glanced around, mind c…[Read more]

Yeah, I get it. I saved up a few years ago, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for something so expensive

If it’s a matter of knowing what to get, I recommend an iPad, matching pencil, and Procreate. Getting Procreate is a one-time cost and this set-up has lasted me years. I’m not super serious though, so some people might…[Read more]

Okay! Single Pringle or a couple, either is fine.

“Hey, Reuven, what’s up?” A kid from math class sat down on the bleachers bench above theirs.

I just realized that Wren would have heard this whoops. I guess she just has a lot more respect for her witnesses’ privacy or something lol

It is what it is. I’m just saying, my character has witnessed some things, and this is supposed to be a chill high school AU. *Shrugs*

I believe we have reached novel length

Wren doesn’t have to do that. Just an option in a sea of options

I don’t know a lot about your characters’ appearances anyways, so it can be someone old or new

If you want, Marcel could give her the scoop on all the violence going on. He was in the basement previously and knows people with stab wounds go down there to chill. He could mention it.

Maybe. We’ll see where Reuven  directs her. It may be a bit difficult to get her into the basement. Unless you want to have the two of them to leave the basement.

Yep! Do you make digital art, or solely traditional?

But now I want to doodle personalized memes

:-p

Wait…. do you have keepers in person over there?!?!

We used a website called Magma to make digital art on shared canvases. :] Not in person. It wasn’t super intuitive for me at first because I’ve only ever used Procreate. But it was a lot of fun

I forgot about those, hehe. Okay. I lost my apple pencil yesterday, so it must be found before any art can be made. If I was to draw a character, who would you want it to be?

A character swap is a fun idea. I’m not entirely sure if I’m up to it, because I’m not disciplined and my drawings are not of a dependable quality. Sometimes they turn out good, sometimes really bad. :p
