Why do you guys do this to me?!

Lol, just kidding.

@freed_and_redeemed

Beautiful! I love seeing your work. And your digital skill is much better than mine. I… Don’t do digital art yet. XD

Also, that first picture of Leon and Adelheide is so sweet. I about cried.

@ellette-giselle

Your pictures look so good! I also have a lot of questions…[Read more]

*dodges tissue attack*

*cue nervous evil author laugh*

heh

heh

all of the art I’ve drawn today has been sad

AND GIRLLLLL YOUR ART IS SO GOOD!!! 😭😭

@esther-c @whalekeeper

Haha, thanks y’all! 💜 I still do a lot of tracing often🫣 (although I’ve heard from a professional artist that she still does most of the time too, so…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

Aaahhh you’re an official artsy person 😄 (Or maybe you were all along, and I didn’t realize.) Those are so fun, I like the varied colors on the girl’s shirt!

@ellette-giselle

It’s interesting that you use solid coloring stuff like pencils, I just don’t have the patience to color in a piece. Good on you for that.

@ellette-giselle

*offers tissues*

I’m super proud of it tho😂

I have another piece I just finished😭🫢

Anyone want some Riker art?? 👀

@ellette-giselle thanks! You mean the one I just posted?

He’s intended to be one of the creatures from my latest work, which is basically “what if instead of the Earth being one planet with a whole bunch of countries, it was a galaxy with each country being a planet?” and of course since it was a sci-fi I decided to make a bunch of creatures to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle 👍👍

@ellette-giselle ohhh I see.

But obviously John treats them like his sons and has raised them to be brothers.

Makes total sense.

@ellette-giselle you’re welcome!!

ooh that’d be really cool! I’d love to see it!

@ellette-giselle maaaaannnn girl you’re good at dancing scenes!

I tried to draw two characters in this, like, embracing each other kinda pose, and they looked kinda stiff lol

@ellette-giselle the story makes a lot of sense now that you explained that point.

But how exactly did the Airman boys and their dad avoid this? (btw is “Airman” a title or their actual last name? Couldn’t exactly tell lol, so I’m assuming it’s their surname) Where are they that they aren’t being searched every month, because no doubt the…[Read more]

Marcel

Marcel watched Leo and Rory focus on their ear pieces. As they became more distracted, he sat upright. His shoulders spasmed erratically. “I can punch one more guy. No p-prob.”

@ellette-giselle

Ooooooh okay, I gotcha. 👍 No familial ties, no relationships at all. That’s much more sterile and dystopian than I thought you were going tor. But this makes much more sense.

Do they have some way of suppressing hormones, like in The Giver?

@whalekeeper @ellette-giselle @rae

Hey y’all, finals are over, and I’m still alive somehow.  *Sheepish grin*

Silvia

“Oh. Alright. I…” She tugged at her newly scarlet blouse with a grimace. A good hot shower would be great right about now. “I don’t know. Those creeps jacked our com unit. I can try using encryption, but-” her eyes widened. “Oh…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Okay, reproduction is allowed, but only through government selection.

Okay, check. Makes sense.

Yes, I do have that under control.

How does the government get rid of those desires?

Haha, this isn’t marriage at all. Marriage isn’t a promise to stay together, and it isn’t a government contract. Marriage is a holy and sacred coven…

@ellette-giselle

Okay, so you’re going for a more ambiguous setting with more brainwashing? I do love The Giver and Fahrenheit 451, I like the genre.

I feel like most of what you just said doesn’t really have much to do with the story………

…Well I said this:

 Because it doesn’t make much sense from the perspective of a government to deny heterosex…

@ellette-giselle

Okay great 😊 (If anyone is sensitive please skip reading.)

This is just a big brainstorm post, maybe it will be helpful.

Why would everyone give up as a group on heterosexuality? American culture overwhelmingly enjoys any depiction of male-female pleasure, it is an integral part of our culture. (It’s disgusting, but here we a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yes, he is blind. Don’t worry, you didn’t miss any dramatic scenes. 😉 If you read back, you can see we insinuated his blindness earlier. For instance, the conversation between Onnendel and Dwogin about the sunset.

It’s part of his backstory. We’ll explain the it more in a couple chapters. (Hint: Shadow Dread is an illness…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle THANK YOU!!

I’m excited to write them more in later books, hehe
