What is the reason for this?

It started because the Protector isn’t under the government, and when the First Protector appeared, the government were rightfully wary of civilians trying to mess with strange monsters.

Then it continued as partly tradition and partly that when the Protector becomes the people’s hero, it’s best to keep…[Read more]

@rae

After all, the life of a Protector can be a lonely one as you aren’t supposed to let many people close.

What is the reason for this?

Gabriel: “Yes. She loves me.” *He pauses, seeming to remember something and looks away slightly as if embarrased.*

Lucy: *Supportive, curious, and disgusted at the same time* *Doesn’t know what else to say* *G…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

That’s… cool. Yeah, very cool. SO cool. 😐

Girl, I don’t think you know what the word cool means.

Wait, wait, let me defend myself! Yes, me literally killing Baron isn’t very cool, but the realization about the Elementals that resulted from it is cool!

Btw, chest compressions save lives! Even in fiction.

I wonder if the fairy tale is inspired by a societal problem from the time it was made up.

Huh. I didn’t even think about that. That seems possible.

By the way, is your flu feeling better now? And are you doing any writing these days, or more focused on other things?

Yeah, thanks! I just got a cough now. I think I accidentally spread…[Read more]

I think it’s interesting that Thumbelina keeps getting into unfortunate situations where she might have to marry someone she does not like. I wonder if the fairy tale is inspired by a societal problem from the time it was made up.

*contemplates joining this even tho I’d probably RP once every millennia*

This looks really fuuUuuUUuUuUUun.

@whalekeeper

My brothers keep telling me to cheat when I’m trying to find materials for something, but can’t find it, and I think that’s so unfun.

Oh yeah no. That is no fun.

:-p I was a little inspired by Thumbelina. And Pride and Prejudice, come to think of it. The troll family is a bit like the Bennets, except they live in a cave and proba…

@power

Koshka is right, that sounds exactly like The Light Princess. *Nostalgia hits*

@rae

Cool little thing.

That’s… cool. Yeah, very cool. SO cool. 😐

Girl, I don’t think you know what the word cool means.

*Grabs Baron, ties an evacuation label around his neck, stuffs him into a train, and sends him a thousand miles away from your WIP*

@beth-torres

so that’s kind of cheating if it’s for a survival project lol.

Yeah, cheating is fine sometimes, but it’s satisfying to find other solutions when you’re building something in survival. My brothers keep telling me to cheat when I’m trying to find materials for something, but can’t find it, and I think that’s so unfun.

I started dyi…

I did another character chart last night

@rae ooooh interesting lore!!

also the adhd bit makes me think of how we decided that Scout canonically has adhd lolllll

wind charmer Jeremy would certainly be something but it actually really fits him tbh

Cool little thing.

So last night I wrote a scene that has been in my head where Baron’s heart literally stops. You probably all know how it goes where you write something, then add something to it that you weren’t planning on but somehow makes so much sense?

That was this.

In the scene, just before Baron dies, his connection to the wind snaps.…[Read more]

Mellissa

“Can we go to the kitchen now? I’m hungry.” Mel pointed to the door that they had come in from, but it had now changed. It was wooden, and had sun bleached paint that was starting to peel. The bottom had an unused cat door and a few splashes of dried mud from the rain. Mel recognized it. It was the door into…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

So it really is about passing down the knowledge from previous Protectors, not just becoming another fighter after the last one dies.

Yes. After a few decades, a Protector either becomes to old or too wounded to fight (we shall hope it’s the former for Gabriel) anymore, and that’s when they find their successor. They stay with that…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

I think I’m having dramatic mood swings today because every time someone has messaged me or posted in the past hour, I start laughing hysterically. Very different from how I was a few hours ago. XD

Ah, I see lol!

A sky ship is a cool idea. Oh oh oh, you can have a rope ladder by putting a normal ladder over a glass block. I’m not sur…

@rae

Your thoughts make sense, don’t worry.

Instead of just fighting them like a soldier would, a Protector is meant to learn every type of monster, every strategy, every venom, every poison, every antidote. They are meant to study behaviors and take notes on them.  All in hopes of not only saving lives, but finding a way to stop the monsters fo…

I already have another change to that character chart. Moth’s love interest is canonical now so I should put “single, until [insert info]”

@elishavet-pidyon

Firstly, you just made me squeak in joy and turn my normal perch into a gollum-esq crouch. XD

*Crouches and squawks* RELATaBLE

Unfortunately for him, she’s a little boy crazy and loves the whole situation a little too much. He would not mind if it weren’t that she gets on his last nerve on purpose. He has to be chivilarous, so s…
