You’re Ellis Stormwatcher, aren’t you? We were both sent here so I can ask you a few questions. I hope you don’t mind if I do that.

@liberty

I’m just doing some stuff at community college, to get basic classes out of the way. Spanish has been a little time-consuming but it’s fun!

@elishavet-pidyon @power

You two understood the assignment!! This is exactly the stuff I want.

This is a lovely smorgasbord of information. I’m taking notes. I will be back to look at this again and look all of this up. Absolutely delightful replies.

@e-m-trepke Thank you! also yeahhhh i’ve been learning just how COMPLICATED this stuff is. like the animating itself? psshhh that’s easy. the workflow-ing with drawing storyboards and setting up everything? that’s the hard part. and then imagine when you’re working with a million other animators instead of just by yourself.

@whalekeeper

This is delicious. *savors the aroma of randomness* I love this story idea already. Leaning into crazy traditions and stuff is a great idea!

…

Sorry, this will be a lot.

Thank you for the ideas! I will add them to the list. Naming pets is a little harder than I remember it being. It’s been a while since I had some of my own. All of your suggestions are spiffing little names, indeed.

I also welcome your favorite tropes. Tell me what interests you.

I’m tagging a bunch of you. Firstly, I doubt you will be offended, and secondly, I have free will. (You may ignore, of course.)

A lot of you write or read about fantastical…[Read more]

Tavar

“Neurological science?” Saying the term, even imitating Bryce’s accent when he did, didn’t help. “I don’t know the term, although it sounds like the words used in one of my books. Let’s see…”

Tavar closed his eyes, envisioning the word, changing the alphabet around until it fit. Eyes flashing open, he ran a finger over the…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Others: Wiggles & Grumps; Pumpkin & Marshmallow;

Sebster & Hugo; Moth & Merlin/Cosmo/Whatever the names of the other boys…

@koshka @loopylin

Moth

“Please, listen to me,” Moth whispered to the third arrow as he pulled it back.

He supposed he must stop imagining anything sometimes. Why did every single object and living thing siphon off Moth’s mind? It was deeply bothersome.

He had to resist getting worked up and listen to Ari’s advice. He took a deep breath a…[Read more]

I think Dark Boi will have much longer and fuzzier hair than Light Boi, because I suspect he’s a Lunkarya. We shall see.

@loopylin @koshka @elishavet-pidyon @rae @keilah-h @beth-torres @freed_and_redeemed @ellette-giselle @anyone

I got some guinea pigs yesterday. :] Does anyone have any name suggestions? They’re both boys.

@elishavet-pidyon

Like yes, I had just texted my sister saying that the character was the most romantic figure in modern literature

I love this rant about your specific relationship to this fictional character and how you perceive him in specific instances. 😂 Oh goodness

@elishavet-pidyon @loopylin

Ah, okay. That makes sense…

Bryce 

A dry laugh escaped Bryce before he could stop it. “I got a lot of things to figure out, and most of it is really boring.” 

His eyes surveyed the plethora of books around them. He had so many resources to search through, about so much stuff he did not care about.

And if he we…[Read more]

@beth-torres @loopylin

Unfortunately no, I don’t have more. I want a window box, but I don’t know how that would actually fit in my window since I live in a college dorm.

Tavar

He shrugged, a frown creasing his forehead.

Unfortunately, the pot I ordered initially was too damaged to use so I have to get another.

That is unfortunate 😵‍💫 Do you have any other plants? If I may ask lol. I grew zinnias this summer, and tomato vines. I successfully killed a succulent  😶‍🌫️I’m not great with indoor plants, apparently. 

Tavar will naturally n…

Oof I kinda dropped off the face of the earth there.

Yesss. That would be so cool to see miniature roses everywhere! Unfortunately, the pot I ordered initially was too damaged to use so I have to get another. Hopefully my little rosy will wait that long. 😅 So far my characters have largely escaped the obsession… Except that Tavar…[Read more]
