Gabriel’s response is just as funny as I thought it would be lol

I’m glad he didn’t disappoint XD.

The poor boi, he’s trying. He’s trying so hard, but he’d feel more comfortable in the middle of a knitting group than here lol.

Lucille

Lucy sometimes found herself making fists, pinching herself, breathing quickly, or screaming – without any control. Without knowing why. As if feelings blew through her body or pounded on her skull just because they could.

As she saw Mel trying not to cry, something clicked. Her parents sometimes took her aside…[Read more]

All the grown ups are so nice but also so confuzzled XD

Gabriel

He didn’t show it on his face, but Gabriel was both stumped and upset that he couldn’t figure out what was bothering Mel. Were all little girls so confusing? How can you break down and not know why? Last time Lucy seemed emotionally overwhelmed she wanted to be alone, but then she got taken away. He…[Read more]

Huntress

Mel hid her face in her hands, looking very stressed.

Sniper appeared tense, as if he thought it was his fault she were upset. He stood up and backed away as Gabriel asked Mel what was wrong, leaping up to sit on a rock and watch where he couldn’t interfere.

I sat down next to him. “I don’t think she’s…[Read more]

@loopylin nahhh you’re good lol

@loopylin

Sniper

She asked if my scales gave me powers, then trailed off tryin’ to pronounce my species’ name.

My tail flicked worriedly as I realized I’d made her start snifflin’. Gabriel tried his best to comfort her.

I kneeled down on the other side of her and curled my tail close to my legs, makin’ myself smaller and hopefully less…[Read more]

I’m gonna hop in here.

Gabriel

He didn’t know what to think of Mel, he was never around children very often before. He still couldn’t figure out Lucy most the time, what about Mel? Was she like Lucy? What would he do with two rash girls with little self-preservation skills? He hoped she wouldn’t wander off, or…[Read more]

Remington

Callum sighed as if still recovering. Poor thing. It must have been wrong to ask him so many questions. Remington, biting his own cheek in subdued guilt, patted him on the shoulder.

He turned back to Ellis. “Remington LaCreux, prince of… well, technically king of Surabond. If you look on the map, we’re that country that…[Read more]

Remington

“My current theory is that he has fainted from pure joy,” Remington explained. The stranger next to them came up and took Callum’s other arm.

Callum groaned. He seemed to regain focus, and rubbed his temples. “I… faint easily. You… overwhelmed me.”

“Ah. Maybe I overstepped just a little bit.” Remington brought his left…[Read more]

Marcel

“When I first got here, I made friends with a younger kid, the headmaster’s son. He was getting beat up by his own brothers.” Marcel’s mouth tightened at the memory. “We tried to report it but… nothing happened. I haven’t seen him in a while. Things happen in the open and the teachers do nothing about it. Punching matches in th…[Read more]

@koshka

However, he is influencing my sister.

Hehehehehhe

He is sixteen years old and already contemplating disowning his family.

We love a snarky, rebellious teenager. The energy Ari gives off is palpable, and you haven’t even written him yet.

@loopylin

It would be funny if all the characters were mostly clueless about other countries and had n…

Sniper

“But that sounds kind of cool though, putting down animals. I mean, you’re killing, er, putting them down for a good cause. Although that sounds a little tough having to see that animal and uh, you know, eliminate it. But you must be used to it, right? Sorry, this all sounds wrong-” Trevor stuttered.

Azalea cut in before he co…[Read more]

Huntress

Mell giggled at Soldier as he tried to avoid Runt.

She then turned to me. “What, um… Who are you guys?”

I wasn’t exactly sure how to tell her what we were without freaking her out. “We’re, from, uh…a a galaxy really far from here.” I finally explained, trying to make it decently easy to understand. “We w…[Read more]

@loopylin @elishavet-pidyon

Thx! I cackled more than normal. This is why they say writers fall in love with their side characters more than their main characters. 🤣

He’s like a golden retriever trying to befriend a terrified opossum hehe

Funnily enough, if Remi was an animal, I picture something like an opossum. Just in appearances. P…[Read more]

Speaking of being social

Remington

Seeing so many fresh, wide-eyed faces brought Remington more joy than he ever would have believed.

New kids were always interesting to meet. They all came from different places and cultures, and lived their lives in a way Remington couldn’t imagine. But they all had the same bright, chaotic wonder in their…[Read more]

These boys are taking initiative. I love it. XD Go explore the place and make friends and enemies! All the better to cause conflict.

@loopylin @mineralizedwritings @elishavet-pidyon @ellette-giselle

After much deliberation, for no serious reason, I feel it makes more sense for all of these characters to come from the same huge world. A world with a huge map, isolated countries, and separate magic systems/cultures. While portal fantasy is easier, I think this way gives us more…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle what I mean by that is “despite the fact that I probably will never have an IRL husband that doesn’t stop me from fictional character projection” lol
