But tall people are already appreciated. They can reach stuff in the high cabinets.

From what I can find, June 22nd is National Tall People day, but there is no Appreciate Tall People day.

What I wanna know is if there’s an Appreciate Slightly Above Average Height People day.

@stephie

Yes! These are just what I have running through my mind and never put on paper!

My dad was in the military and is now in law enforcement and one thing he always says is, “When I get shot, I’d rather have A guy carry me out then a woman try to drag me out and end up getting us both killed.” He’s a very tall, muscular guy, and I honestly…[Read more]

OH HE WOULD LOVE THAT!

(I would love that!)

That could be funny. And crazy. And possibly dangerous, so maybe we shouldn’t.

It would be so good! We should! We should!

I’d find it far more interesting to RP then a public school anyways. I like it much better, and it’s way better for Rory.

Besides, technically Rory is already g…[Read more]

Everything you said fits. There’s definitely some gothic architecture and old buildings mixed in with the newer technology

@whalekeeper

I love all of these ideas thank you!

Wait, I just realized Brea might be too old to be watch over like that. Oops. XD Well maybe the idea can still be used with another young character.

No, she’s like 9 or 11ish. She was an unplanned kid, so that’s why there’s a big age gap between her and Lois.Your idea totally works.

@mineralizedwritings

That’s amazing that she’s becoming more expressive. <3 So many older folks begin to lose that trait, as well as the ability to fully express out loud. Becoming old and forgetful can be a fear.

I applaud you writers who outline your short stories and manage to find a balance between too much and too little. It’s hard. *Applause*

Please give me a moment while I geek out over the potential of the ink magic system

– Ooh, what about robot catacombs? Like instead of the dead burial tunnels, have robot ‘burial’ catacombs underneath the city that can also function as an archive.

@loopylin

Hehe, I actually have ideas. That’s not normal.

I think it would be cool, during at least some of these mini-adventures, to focus on Lois and Fel because they start off having very different personalities and backgrounds. They kind of have to figure each other out…?

Here are some ideas:

@theducktator That’s some good advice right there

@loopylin

When in doubt, blow something up, preferably something important. XD

Didn’t want to make a new topic, so this seemed like the most fitting place for this.

I’m a bit stuck with my story rn and I just need some filler or something. So does anyone have ideas for things my characters could do/trouble they could get into? It could be as ridiculous or mundane as you want, I don’t care. Any idea is a good idea right…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

aw that’s sweet. I’ve only known one of my grandparents decently and she’s starting to forget stuff  (Just called me my sis’s name for the first time last week 😭) but she’s gotten more relatable as she declines which is not what I expected. She didn’t connect well with people when my mom was younger, but she’s become more…[Read more]

@stephie

Very good practical points. I had a very similar discussion with my dad about two hours ago. 👍

@whalekeeper

I mean for me it’s a very case-by-case thing. Like if a woman took an important mission with a bunch of men, knowing she’s the weak link, and potentially putting their lives at greater risk, then that’s wrong. Whereas if she’s the most capable in a scenario, yeah, I’m putting my trust in her and not in an inexperienced leader.

@ellette-giselle @whalekeeper @keilah-h @whoever else was talking about this

I asked the question of what my family thought about women in combat around the dinner table tonight. There were a lot of things brought up that I hadn’t even thought of. Here are some of the insights from my parents:

1. It’s not fair to the other side to have women on…

You probably still have enough company within that stance. (:
