1. What are your thoughts on Jesus having siblings? I believe that Mary and Joseph were blessed with kids (three sons and daughters, if I remember correctly.) They would technically be Jesus’s half-siblings.

2. If you could visit one of the holy sights from around the world, where would you go? And why? Holy sites? The Western…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Oh goodness, this kid is so awfully oblivious. It’s a handkerchief! XD

Leo

Rummaging through several junk drawers produced a thin foam pad, two unsharpened pencils, an old knit shirt, and one hopefully unused ace wrap from a questionablely dated first aid kit.

“Let’s see what we can do for that knee.”

He knelt in front of…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Why thank you. He’s come a long way.

Leo

He slipped his handkerchief into Rory’s. The work fridge down here had a case of water bottles. Leo got one, opened it, and set it on the small table by the couch.

“I’ll get a few things tied up and we can go.”

First, to message Liko and Silvia. He set his glass tablet down on the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

You’re welcome. =D

Leo

His eyebrows rose. The church?

“Alright.” He wouldn’t question it.

“We can take an early lunch break in a few minutes. Or we can go by after work. Whichever you want.”

He’d message Liko and tell him he had to leave early. And he’d send a number over to Silvia to let her know where they’d be.

The kid…[Read more]

Leo

He took Rory’s hands in his own, forcing him to stop cutting his palms.

“Rory, you’ve been carrying a lot of things on your shoulders. What you’re telling me–that was wrong. Horribly wrong. But it’s not your fault.”

He pulled the kid into a hug like he was five year old Quincy. Rory was shaking.

Leo sighed, and began to…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Poor kids indeed.

Leo

He sucked in a breath through clenched teeth, and slowly let it out. He was not cut out to be a counselor, alright.

But he was a brother. Leo pulled a handkerchief from his pocket.

“You haven’t let yourself grieve, have you? When did this happen?”

@whalekeeper

XD

Some things never change

@whalekeeper

Bwahaha. YES.

@ellette-giselle

Leo

Fury, red hot and searing, boiled up in his throat. Leo closed his eyes, trying to choke it down.

Inexperienced, trainies, used as test pilots. No escape plan. Destress calls ignored. Fire,screams, acrid smoke. And the lost. His fists clenched.

Stay calm. Keep control for the kid. He doesn’t need your anger.

He exhaled…[Read more]

Or I’ll take something important to the character from them. (Like Toothless’s tail fin.)

You just triggered my repressed obsession for HTTYD and I’m not complaining. The Vikings are many things, but they are not ableist, and it’s so well done. 😂

@keilah-h

Yeah. I have an even split of disabilities caused during the stories and before. So many of them have to do with mobility. And then I realized, ‘oh duh, I’m just writing what I know.’ XD

@ellette-giselle

Leo

He blinked in the dim lighting. No good memories, huh. And no childhood either. He’d just have to what he could do about that.

But the kid had been training as a pilot. Had crashed, like Jake. The terror still clung to him too. Leo swallowed and put an arm around the kid’s shoulders.

He let the quiet of the basement deep…[Read more]

@theducktator

Or combine option A and option B so some characters die, some are permanently wounded, but they did it for a good trade, and so ultimately accept it as a win-win. I love inflicted-and-permanent disability, it’s such a useful trope. (Plus it adds some much-needed disability rep.)

@elishavet-pidyon

Ah, good. I was also mildly bamboozled for a minute. XD

@theducktator

It is a very big book! And I don’t think we made anything too crazy in chemistry, but there were mild chemical reactions, and I dissected a pregnant shark. Maybe that’s irregular, though. Was that in Challenge 2…? 🤔

Hehehehe the teacher will never know… &#x1f60…

@hybridlore

Yeah, it was a little weird jumping in mid-year, but I’m glad I did.

Good! It can be rough jumping from one thing to another.

That seems like a given, but I don’t think I’ve ever went through an entire history of America in order—more like isolated events and time periods.

Yeah, same, up until that point. And for me, we focused more on…[Read more]

@hybridlore

I’ve only done this year and the last half of Challenge 2

I have a classmate who started just like that.

I also enjoyed American history and Shakespeare (somewhat.)

History is fun! I like Challenge 4’s history best, but it was cool to learn about all the unfamiliar American events.

Unfortunately, I don’t think I’m close enough to you t…

@hybridlore

Also, just out of curiosity… are you going to a homeschool prom in the next three weeks or so? I know you’re closer to me than most, and it’s always fun to check.

@hybridore

Oh yes. I’m pretty happy with the length requirements because they don’t expect too much, while also allowing for some flexibility. My friend, who has a bunch of extracurricular assignments, is writing 50 pages. I would have been down for that (because my topic is complicated), but my tutor only prepared us one semester in adv…[Read more]
