I said hello and then was immediately distracted, sorry. XD Your Minecraft ship sounds splendid.

@whalekeeper

 Since he’s supposed to get sadder and more bitter as time passes,

I grow sadder and more bitter just reading that lol. His story does have a lovely ending though, right? *squints through my ProtectionsquadTM Su…[Read more]

@loopylin

AHHH! Felicity! She is such a fun character. I like her chart.

And I have no other coherent thoughts at the moment. Ummmm…

Would she like sky-diving?

@whalekeeper

But that probably made Gabriel question his appearance more than once.

Oh yes. The hair, and the way he covers up so much made them think that, plus originally he had a more slender frame.

Now in his story as it is currently, he works with a stone mason, so he doesn’t have lithe muscle anymore.

If any of my guy charries were to be…[Read more]

@rae

In the early concepts of Gabriel’s story, the news reported that they thought the new Protector was a girl…Gabriel, upon hearing this, was positively both offended and amused.

Maybe the Protector role will be passed down to a girl someday, so I can see why people would speculate about that. But that probably made Gabriel question his app…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

What is the reason for this?

It started because the Protector isn’t under the government, and when the First Protector appeared, the government were rightfully wary of civilians trying to mess with strange monsters.

Then it continued as partly tradition and partly that when the Protector becomes the people’s hero, it’s best to keep…[Read more]

@rae

After all, the life of a Protector can be a lonely one as you aren’t supposed to let many people close.

What is the reason for this?

Gabriel: “Yes. She loves me.” *He pauses, seeming to remember something and looks away slightly as if embarrased.*

Lucy: *Supportive, curious, and disgusted at the same time* *Doesn’t know what else to say* *G…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s… cool. Yeah, very cool. SO cool. 😐

Girl, I don’t think you know what the word cool means.

Wait, wait, let me defend myself! Yes, me literally killing Baron isn’t very cool, but the realization about the Elementals that resulted from it is cool!

Btw, chest compressions save lives! Even in fiction.

*Grabs Baron, ties an eva…

@beth-torres

I think it’s interesting that Thumbelina keeps getting into unfortunate situations where she might have to marry someone she does not like. I wonder if the fairy tale is inspired by a societal problem from the time it was made up.

By the way, is your flu feeling better now? And are you doing any writing these days, or more focused…[Read more]

@power

Koshka is right, that sounds exactly like The Light Princess. *Nostalgia hits*

@rae

Cool little thing.

That’s… cool. Yeah, very cool. SO cool. 😐

Girl, I don’t think you know what the word cool means.

*Grabs Baron, ties an evacuation label around his neck, stuffs him into a train, and sends him a thousand miles away from your WIP*

@beth-torres

so that’s kind of cheating if it’s for a survival project lol.

Yeah, cheating is fine sometimes, but it’s satisfying to find other solutions when you’re building something in survival. My brothers keep telling me to cheat when I’m trying to find materials for something, but can’t find it, and I think that’s so unfun.

I started dyi…

I did another character chart last night

@power

Kinda like the prince in The Light Princess?

I’m afraid I don’t have a character like this…yet.

@power

Oooo. I’m not sure. That is an interesting character/plot idea.

A character who blocks/fills a hole/breech with themself.  Over by dead body. You will have to go through me.

Does anybody have any characters like this? 😎

“Standing in the gap”

What a beautiful and evocative metaphor!

@rae ooooh interesting lore!!

also the adhd bit makes me think of how we decided that Scout canonically has adhd lolllll

wind charmer Jeremy would certainly be something but it actually really fits him tbh

Cool little thing.

So last night I wrote a scene that has been in my head where Baron’s heart literally stops. You probably all know how it goes where you write something, then add something to it that you weren’t planning on but somehow makes so much sense?

That was this.

In the scene, just before Baron dies, his connection to the wind snaps.…[Read more]

Mellissa

“Can we go to the kitchen now? I’m hungry.” Mel pointed to the door that they had come in from, but it had now changed. It was wooden, and had sun bleached paint that was starting to peel. The bottom had an unused cat door and a few splashes of dried mud from the rain. Mel recognized it. It was the door into…[Read more]
