I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have reawakened the trauma. *Pats your head apologetically* We’ve all been through it before.

Boundaries will help. Writing is like a relationship. You can’t let it take over your life, Koshka. I believe in you.

🤣😝

@elishavet-pidyon

A perfectly understandable complication. After all, now you have to make every aspect of your world just as complicated as that porridge recipe. It’s only natural.

@koshka

*Watches you scream* *Joins you by screaming into my stuffed unicorn*

The best decision I ever made for Project Lovedream was to limit the world-building to one city due to an extreme history of isolationism, plus the science fiction boundaries implemented because of it. It makes my job a whole lot easier.

Have you drawn maps for your…[Read more]

That actually reminds me of a conversation I saw on CWW before the community closed. It was about relatability and likability. A lot of people seemed to think relatability makes a character likable. I’m not sure if I agree with everything they said, but it was still interesting to read.

@jonas

Yeah, that makes total sense. He is only relatable for some people. It’s impossible to relate to every character, but you can still like them. And I’m glad Sanderson gave him several things to work through, specifically in WoR. :-]

@koshka

One of the first things I pin down are what I consider the building blocks of a culture; Cold or warm; Individualist or collectivist; Rich or poor; Military or civilian; Old or young. Then I find the cultural ideals for beauty, character, morality, nobility, justice.

This stuff is all so fuuuuuun, and all so eeendleeeeeeesssss. And just…[Read more]

@stephie

The textbook format has been appreciated by several writers. According to a survey performed by a certain Stepheroni and Cheese, two out of two young writing enthusiasts used this world-building tool regularly.

Mm, I credit you with accurate scientific knowledge. Take my friendship.

@theducktator

My brother says Kaladin is a sorrowful sack of mope. HE IS NOT.😭Please people, back me up on this! I need allies!

I agree that he is a sorrowful sack of mope, but it does not bother me at all. XD I actually kind of understand Kaladin. It’s a little silly to say, especially because I’m not an ex-general ex-slaved tur…[Read more]

@keilah-h

Especially Sniper’s and Demo’s, which I’ll show later if you want.

I’m intrigued

Also, I respect your bravery to post old drawings. I tried to do that once…and I backed out before pushing the “submit” button

@keilah-h

Great! Perfect!

I’ll see what I can do.

I often draw in the evenings while hanging out with my big brother, and all I can think about rn is what he’s gonna say when he sees what I’m drawing, and now I’m gonna explain myself lol

@theducktator

Mine too (though I think Oathbringer has the coolest climax ever)

@theducktator

It’s not that I don’t like Kaladin, it’s just that sometimes he annoys me.

Ah, ok. That’s actually a good idea, I only read the rest of the series last year but I forgot a lot of stuff already lol.

Which book is your favorite?

@theducktator

Eh, I kinda might agree with your brother 🫣 not completely, but I think he has a point. While I think Kaladin does have some good development at some points in the series, a lot of the time I feel he’s just a bit too extreme.

Sorry.

Have you read Wind and Truth  yet? (if you have no spoilers cuz I’m only on day five)

@keilah-h

and a weird amount of bread

Why do I have a suspicious feeling that Soldier is involved?

Let me guess, he’s teleporting bread to create bread monsters?

Lol, that was one of the best moments ever.

I’m dead rn for what I want to draw so I’ll give it a shot drawing the scene. No promises that you’ll like it, I’m bad at wings, and at…[Read more]

@koshka
Yes, that is me. 100%

@raxforge @jonas @loopylin

Baron (Brutus)—Ben Gunn, Flare, Ellis, trying to find Fel and Brea (I think I got that right)

Brutus hesitated in following the others. The soldiers were terrified of these creatures. He held his scarf up over his nose and mouth. His eyes followed the disappearing forms of his companions. He could use his wind to…[Read more]

Could you give me some more description on these teens?
