@catwing Ah, I see. The writing class I’m in starts at 8:30 my time and ends at 10:00 or 10:30, so that’s why I was on so late. And then I had to check all my Kingdom Pen notifications so I wouldn’t have 40-some this morning. XD

@catwing What’s interesting?

@that_writer_girl_99 @aislinn-mollisong I’m off for dinner now. I wrote 830 words. Bye!

@that_writer_Girl_99 @aislinn-mollisong I’m going to see how many words I can get down as well. *cracks knuckles* Here we go!

*taps mic* anyone out there? I’ll be…well, I don’t know what I’m doing. Probably just throwing words on a page. If anyone wants to join me, you’re most welcome. @ethryndal @jessi-rae @dragon-snapper

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Imma side with @Ethryndal, but I see where you’re coming from. My sister Elizabeth agrees. 😉
My beans with genuine characters is… if they’re ONLY genuine, they fall kind of flat. They need to be dynamic too, and Luke leaves things to be desired in that area, especially considering he’s the hero.
The thing about ‘useless’…[Read more]

Exactly. He isn’t an incredibly ideal character, but he is genuine, and I think that’s what sets him apart from each of the other Star Wars characters. His hardships didn’t begin until he was much older, giving him that sort of “spoiled brat” vibe. Until, of course, he discovered he has to save the world. That tends to mature a person. @ethryndal

*snorts* I can’t say I see the resemblance.

Okay but seriously. You see my point, right? About Luke? @ethryndal

@That_Writer_Girl_99 @Ethryndal is right. Let’s just say… world domination is a favorite hobby of mine.

@ethryndal *pauses sobbing uncontrollably to glare scathingly at you* What is it with y’all and patting me head? Why must everyone pat my head? I cannot be consoled!

You know, I think what the two of you miss about Luke’s character is he’s…what, eighteen in the movie? Nineteen? Speaking as an eighteen year old myself, I think I would react similarly, if I was dropped into Luke’s situation.

Ugh, why can’t you guys dislike a more useless character? Lando Calrissian? Grand Moff Tarkin? Every single one of…[Read more]

*is confused as to why marbles and similes are being discussed on an artsy thread*

@kate-flournoy An eleven book series? Excuse me while I go wallow in a pile of my own scrapped manuscripts and unwritten ideas. *disappears*

Haha @emma-flournoy now that you mention it, I think I do remember us talking about that. I was appalled to think someone could dislike Luke. To be honest, I still think it’s strange…

@Ethryndal that’s what I keep telling her.

Don’t worry @xonos-darkgrate @salome01w4g, I don’t like Leia either.

@That_Writer_Girl_99 Do you remember, when you’d just recently joined the forum, before you’d even made your introductory topic, you were on some other topic and one of the first things we talked about was Luke? I said I didn’t like him and you said he was one of your…[Read more]

@Kate-Flournoy XD

@Emma-Flournoy a gathering of marbles might actually be convenient since everyone says I seem to have lost mine…

@Kate-Flournoy O.O SUCH EPICNESS.

@Emma-Flournoy THE MARBLES GATHER.

Or was it clouds… idk. I don’t remember.

@Ethryndal Oh don’t worry, it’s very tragic. It will be terribly sorrowful and thematically amazing.
And we must never forget the existence of redemption arcs.
We’ll get to actually read it in about 102 years, since it’s in the last book of the 11 book series, so there’s plenty of time for speculation.

@Kate-Flournoy, if you start a topic…[Read more]
