Crosshair

His eyes slowly opened to see stone walls.

Not an Imperial facility. Not his home, either.

But something tugged at his memory, like he’d been here before.

He sat up. “Feather?” he called, his scratchy voice echoing down the hallways. His wife didn’t respond.…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed @mineralizedwritings @whalekeeper Gonna have to go with your point of view here….

Think of Lord of the Rings or The Green Ember. These stories don’t have explicitly Christian themes or even mention the existence of God much, although it’s kinda implied. But they were written by authors who wished to show a deep truth–the…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle ikr? I was kinda surprised when that was the song that came up when I clicked the link but I’m not complaining haha

Banjos don’t sound exactly like that but I honestly wouldn’t mind hearing a banjo cover of that song. Let me see if I can find one.

ok I was just listening to one and it’s low quality but sounds HEAVENLY.

@linus-smallprint OOH I LOVE THAT SONG.

It’s got Spanish roots and I love that because that’s where my family came from (well, my parents are Puerto Rican and I was born in America, but still)

when we actually went to Spain earlier this year there were a couple guys playing that genre of song in an alleyway and it was so cool.

@loopylin @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings

Yeah, I mean, I personally prefer that whoever I’m talking to would make eye contact as well, or at least try to. But as long as they’re not like, staring at the floor or clearly not even looking at me, then I’m not offended or anything.

I do believe consistently making eye contact takes practice and i…[Read more]

XD painfully relatable is what I was going for! Yep, he needs his bestie.

@rae @whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed @anyone else in the discussion

Mind if I add my two cents about God in stories?

Writing God into a story is really really hard, and it’s not something I would want to mess up. It can go well, or it can go badly. A lot of you here are familiar with the wingfeather saga, which was written by a Christian, but I…[Read more]

@whalekeeper @freed_and_redeemed

I love this😭😭 so well put and so true.

That’s part of the reason why I write such deeper, even darker stories too. I think it’s something that needs to be addressed more. Cheers to you, girlie💖

Awww thank you guys 😭😭💗

@whalekeeper

Of course! By the way, I didn’t mean to sound like I disagree with anything you said. When I said you touched nerves, I meant those thoughts felt very applicable to second-hand pain I have… kind have gone through? Through empathy? Your experience is ten times more direct than mine 😅 I’m thankful to hear your perspective.

*gasps with…[Read more]

Hi I still want to do this rp, I just don’t know what’s going on with my charries rn. What’s everyone else up to? It’s still the evening of the day before the dance, right?

@loopylin lol yeah! and thanks!

haha I was thinking of writing a scene or something too when I drew him. you can totally do that too (with your own charries I’m assuming, but you can totally write stuff involving any of mine that you know)

@esther-c @whalekeeper @mineralizedwritings

Ok, the subject of eye contact annoys me so much. I’ve been told that I don’t need to worry about it and that avoiding eye contact is just part of who I am, but I still want to be as kind and respectful as I can towards people. But also it frustrates me that people judge each other based off of what the…[Read more]

@rae you’re improving so much! Those hands are really good and I love your use of alcohol markers

@keilah-h I love that pose. And it does look like he could wake up if you poked him XD

Wait, actually, you might have just given me a scene idea…

@mineralizedwritings oof 😆 that was painfully relatable. Glad he has Lesli around to help him feel better about himself lol

@theducktator Yes! Best thing about this is we only need two people. I need to pick a character still. Do you want to start?

@ellette-giselle you could if you want, I know several people have that kinda thing already but it’s fun to see everyone’s interpretations of each other’s characters. It’s why this art challenge thing is so fun.

I know most of mine are crazy fantasy creatures and you said that’s not really your thing but usually I make them human enough that you could literally just axe the tails and wings and whatever else and draw them as normal humans and it still largely makes sense.

@ellette-giselle that’s awesome! And I’m totally good with art of mine too lol
