Ah, tragic! *sniff* Otterpops were a precious part of my childhood.
Further, I thought “Alexander the Grape” the height of wit when I was little. Your sister may have been onto something.
They’re delicious on a hot day! 🙂

Cold toes are a problem. -_-
However, to quote a friend, “My feet must breathe or else… they suffocate!”
I just looked Littlest of Cells and it looks so cute and well done! I might come asking you more questions about it in a bit. 🙂

Otterpops!?
I think I liked Poncho Punch best, but it’s been a while. They don’t sell them where we live.

Well, you actually might have responded before, so I’m the one who’s late. XD sorry.
1. Yeah, same for me. Even after playing Nancy Drew games for years, I would rather not climb through an elevator shaft. Plus going to another world is would literally be a dream come true.

It’s scenes!!! And Riker and Leon!! ❤️
Aw, it’s beautiful! You definitely break these two before building them up, but I’m so excited for it!
I love the symbolic impact the violin has for Riker. And I love that last sentence in Leon’s story.
I would note for when you edit, that only making a statement once may not give the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @keilah-h @esther-c @koshka @loopy
Ok, Y’all. This topic has gone deep. XD Wow. That’s good though. We should really pull apart why we are writing what we are writing. I’m getting a fresh look at my own characters too.
There are many facets to what y’all are saying. I will say first off, that the reversal of the “da…[Read more]

Ah yes! I have not read manga, but I love seeing different characters’ points of view on the same or similar event. (One reason I like The Last Archer. The antagonist-to-friend plot looks completely different when seen through the eyes of the antagonist’s lacky. Not to mention being incredibly hilarious.)
Hmm.…[Read more]

Thanks! 🙂 It was fun to draw.
I can see how someone would feel that way. I’ve never had trouble keeping my mental images separate from movies. It must depend on the person lol.
That would be nice. XD It’s annoying to have different versions of characters competing for attention. I can usually keep them s…[Read more]

Travenor walked quickly. I scurried through the woods behind him, feeling remarkably like a squirrel trailing an elk. Sunlight streamed down through the leaves around me, creating a world of green and gold. Birds sang above us…[Read more]

Just kidding. I do understand that, and I have heard of some fantastic things they did with the adaptions, including splendid character interactions and even deviations from the books that actually made the plot more family friendly. Like cutting out the barrow…[Read more]

Gentle warriors for the win! I am now inspired to write better representations of gentleness, purpose, and grief. We need unique turns on these topics.
 I think one of the reasons their story is cut is because it’s a story that speaks to more sensitive people. Aragorn looks cool on screen to everyone, and ev…

Hey y’all! I’ve been thinking about literary voice. I know every writer has a different voice, but what about using voice as a tool to set the scene? Like an extended form of dialogue?
This crazy thought spiral took me while reading some of Shalom Aleichem’s short stories (think Fiddler on the Roof). I was amused by the tongue in cheek humor of…[Read more]

Excactly! It’s so sweet, but not sugary sweet, you know? If it’s not in there, then half her character is left out (the real Eowyn, in fact) It’s a neat turn on illustrating healing and hope that really brings a lot of light into the story. 🙂

Yes! We just listened to the chapter with him and Eowyn, and I just kept crying and laughing.

Yeah… Aragorn/Strider is one of the reasons Faramir is not my only favorite. 😉

Aw, thank you! 😁 It’s your favorite? O.O I feel like I was just handed a medal.
The photo quality kinda softened his face, but I still agree. He’s such a fun character. He’s almost as much a walking paradox as Aragorn. XD

Thank you! I’m glad you like it. 🙂 It was fun to try to draw from my head, although I ended up needing reference pictures for his eyes because he kept looking scared. XD And Faramir should not be scared.
Thank you! Yes, he is described in the book as Westernese: tall, raven-black haired, grey eyed, and noble of…[Read more]
