Yes, staying home and giving support would be best in a perfect world. I totally get that. But it’s all about Bonnie’s mindset, WHY is she doing this?

Bonnie hides behind all the traditional supportive things because those are the safe things, everyone expects you to do them and her brother has a hard time believing it’s…[Read more]

yw!

@whalekeeper

Ig it’s kinda nostalgic for you. I only play minecraft rn but I want to branch out someday.

@ellette-giselle

They are better than what I can do, at present. :]

@ellette-giselle

Wow, her hand on the bow is perfect.

@ellette-giselle

I think you misunderstood what I asked, but this works too 🙂

What does it hurt you to take a few steps in the opposite direction of the world?

What if we step too far into the other extreme? I believe another extreme exists. I agree, men and women are literally different, but there are so many nuances in every person. That’s k…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

after one of my friends started crying over the rough draft and melting the words on the paper I had pretty high hopes for this scene. 😉

Hee hee. I know that feeling.

so, do you think he’s going to die, or do you believe he’ll get out of this?

At this point I could see it going either way. It seems your main thing for Aaron is tru…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I like it! 😊 It looks familiar but I can’t remember what I’m thinking of

@koshka

Why can’t a woman fight for a man? Not out of *superiority* (snotbagishness), but out of love for a fellow bearer of the image of God (aka human)?

*Nods in agreement* But to take it further, are there other reasons for a man or woman to act outside of those norms?

Now let me go get that charger before I disappear…

*Taps the screen* You ali…[Read more]

Totally following y’all over here from the Castle…

So, ai didn’t read through everything above spoken (because my phone is rapidly loosing it’s life, and I’d have to go get my charger to revive it…) but here’s a few thoughts:

@ellette-giselle @theshadow @loopylin

Thanks for the thoughts!

I truly wish there was some way to objectively judge every action. It seems like everything depends on the spiritual aspect rather than the physical, but I’ve learned to find it comforting.

@ellette-giselle

I starting drawing him digitally, but something about the pen saturation ruined it :'( I was sad. I’m going to traditionally draw him soon.

I’ve worked on the planks though. ;P

@ellette-giselle

Do you really want me to answer that question?

Well, if I had a physical copy of the story, I would know. But I suppose this could spoil weather or not Aaron survives. I know this is a trilogy, but book two could pick up with Sabina or someone else.

My Dearest, Dearest, Darling Sabina,

Tomorrow I am going to die.

I thought for a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Wow, that was an excellent response. It really has me evaluating some female characters I have. The points you make with C.S Lewis were great!!

@ellette-giselle

I like writing guys best too. lol.

Yes, a group of misfit dudes is so good. It’s like, the comfort food of fiction. 🥹

I’m moving a discussion I started into this thread. It’s kind of related.

@ellette-giselle @keilah-h

Basically, how far are you willing to disregard gender norms in stories, specifically tropes? For an extreme example, switching a “damsel in distress” for a “man in distress.”

@ellette-giselle

Oh okay, I’ll take it to another thread. Lemme figure it out.

@keilah-h @ellette-giselle

I think “damsel in distress” can very easily be messed up because it automatically takes away the damsel’s agency in the situation, usually speaking. But I would love to see situations where it isn’t so biased towards the damsel’s savior – like maybe the damsel holds the emotional weight of the story in her hands, to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle Not likely with me, usually. If I don’t like something, I’m quite vocal about it.

You should see me yelling at the screen while playing Minecraft or something and my creatures aren’t going where I want them.

@ellette-giselle lolllll

I mean, if I don’t have anything to say, that means it must be good, right????

@ellette-giselle yeah it’s so much more reasonable when you have context and the proper meaning of the word is used (I’m sure you know all about the newspeak dilemma where people, especially important people, use one word when they really mean something else, in order to control or to convince others to do something they normally wouldn’t). I…[Read more]
