That’s a crazy fun hobby! 🥰 I’m glad it brings so much joy to you.

@everyone

Thank you for all the help! I have a thesis now, and I have an abstract idea proposal this next week. I’m glad I’m choosing a historical topic instead of something else, because I felt really pressured to do something psychological or theological, and I’ve be…[Read more]

@theshadow @rae

I’m improvising with the snake, lol.

Barnes

One of the scales glanced off Barnes’ thigh. Luckily she had her skirt over her trousers – the weather was cold in Lovedream – and the scale sliced right through the top layer.

“Hm.” The officer narrowed her eyes at the beast.

Reid pulled them all back, and Tenz made a leap for it.…[Read more]

@loopylin

I haven’t read any backstory snippets for Fel. 🤨

Nah you’re okay, I love teasing too. Take one more snowball, madam. 😜

…

I know at least one person hit me with snow, so I wrote this just to cover all my debts.

Bast set the basket of cookies next to the old man’s armchair. There were surely more chores to do, but there wasn’t…

@loopylin

Ah, but what happened to Fel?

@loopylin

But I’m happy with that

And that’s exactly why some of my characters are just chill and happy. There’s nothing less deep about having an average backstory. I can think of some characters who are super shallow because the writer thought trauma equals character depth.

@hybridlore

Honestly I don’t know XD I told someone I wasn’t going to post the words I wrote because they were too depressing, and it kind of escalated from there.

@ellette-giselle

I would prove that the Lovedream children have darker pasts, but it’s not worth spoiling the whole thing unfortunately. XD My apologies. You’ll just have to take my word for it.

@ellette-giselle

I like it! A little Ender’s Game, a little something else. It’s giving dystopian. 💁‍♀️ I’m usually not sure how to react when people explain backstories since it’s out of context, but it sounds like pretty solid trauma, especially for a whole group of protagonists.

@hybridlore

Immaculate vibes. 👌

That’s pretty much how I picture Baron too. Powerful, but not the best teammate, at least for now.

@ellette-giselle

Whichever is worst, lol.

@rae
Alpha need a lot of perspective reorientation. Actually I have a close friend who once reacted to a puppy in a very similar way, haha 😝 He even used the word scrawny.
@ellette-giselle

*Sticks out my tongue at you* What is your most traumatized backstory then?

@ellette-giselle @loopylin

Okay, now it’s a challenge. Post what you wrote, and I can almost certainly top it.

Honestly, even writing down the bare facts of the backstory might be too graphic for people. It’s necessary because the end of the story is a reversal of the beginning, kind of like that flash fiction I posted a couple pages back.

I l…[Read more]

@loopylin :(((((((((((((((((

Okay maybe I’ll post trauma some time. Also you should definitely give us more Fel and Lois. More. More.

@elishavet-pidyon

Aw, I won’t throw snowballs at you then. Truce.

*Whips around* @rae +2 @mineralizedwritings +2 @hybridlore +2 @savannah_grace2009 +2 @calyhuge +2 @loopylin +4

@elishavet-pidyon

You have a very pretty writing style <3

@loopylin

Well, those almonds sure do taste good. ;]

XD Metaphors are funny when you continue them.

:(((

I caaan’t. All my Lovedream characters are severely traumatized and I’m not just talking ‘his parents died to typhoid’ or whatever.

They manage to function – even Hugo can act very normal, and honestly, good for him. *Pats him too hard on…[Read more]

@rae

Oohh okay. Well Hugo has a puppy hidden in the boys’ dorm, so a therapy dog does indeed exist in the Fantast School universe.

@theshadow

Is the snake magical or poisonous?

(Totally not just saying this to remind people they can write next)

@highscribeofaetherium

I’m a Wisconsinite. I’m immune to snow.

*Sighs dramatically, breath white* I used to be a Wisconsinite. I haven’t seen snow in over two years.
