I understand. What are you guys studying in college?

@keilah-h

Totally understandable. I’m planning to join CWW next year too, so I’ll look forward to you being on there too!

Is anyone…[Read more]

That’s so cool!
Is there any way I could see an animation of yours…? 🥺

What software are you using? Blendr?

It’s funny how you mentioned animation, because a few weeks ago I decided to start learning 2D animation (I’m using OpenToonz).

but also it’s hard! It’s much different from story writing. I have to keep in mind meter and rhyme like poetry, but also think of melodies and chords! Sometimes it feels like my brain dies a little when I’m working on it, and other times it comes really easily.

What have you been working on/up to?

🙂

Oh he is undeniably dangerous/terrifying. Definitely a creep and tends to be one step ahead.

Sorry for the ridiculously delayed response

Lucille

Lucy picked up the first book that interested her. It had a sketch of a man in a black mask. Batman. The name was strange and kind of silly, but she could ignore that.

In the first panel, he was a strong, dark figure, hunched over in a panel drenched with inked rain.…[Read more]

Who knows. They might get stuck in here for decades, join up with other people, and develop a unique nomadic society.

Although, what do the guys look like of this species? Do they also look like they’ve got dresses? or are they more like some other related species?

I decided the men of Cnidfolk especially are even more rare than the women mainly to avoid this question a little better. I do have a drawing I did for a thing on Unvale that i don’t like s…[Read more]

I’m interested to see him now. Who is he? What connection does he have to our characters? Why is he so evil?

Meet Sergei Mikhaylov, Soviet Officer (haven’t decided if he’s Stasi or KGB (I think they were operating then??) yet) and former Soviet Soldier during WW2. I’m not completely sure about his background yet but I know he a…[Read more]

Still figuring that out fully, but I think the main problem is he’s been in my spotlight too long.

@whalekeeper

Yes it is. It’s a concept idea currently.

Gabriel: Maybe you’re superhuman.

Hello! Good to hear from you! Thank you! I will let you know when I finish draft three!

Keep practicing with your animation! I’ll have to check out your channel again to see how you have progressed.

@theducktator

Glad to hear from you again as well. I hope college goes well for you. What are you trying to get into?

idk who to tag @rae @whalekeeper @keilah-h

(Also, feel free to use this topic to post your own art challenges)

Annnnddddd I disappeared again😂🤪

I am doing well. Tired, working a ton, squeezing writing in where and when I can. I’m bouncing between projects, with writing my Fantasy Series… (that I don’t quite know how to describe without spoilers atm bc a lot of things have changed since I’ve last…[Read more]

Yes, he is Ramen. XD We like a crazy kid who thinks he’s top dog.

@keilah-h

:-p

Hehehe tbh I honestly just left it as taco at one point because I was so done with autocorrect XDXD

AH Keilah. I refreshed before attempting to rp and your post jumpscared me for some reason

I’ve been busy recently with my full-time job and other things. God has been good. I received an opportunity to illustrate a…[Read more]

Hehe yes, everyone needs a NeeDoh.

fidgets are fun, I have a whole bin’s worth of them

Ah yes me too XD

Yes! It’s a fidget toy. I’ve been getting a collection of fidget things over the past few years. XD

Indeed… hehehe.

@rae

Lu: *Leads him to a table and props up her right arm* “You’re not allowed to cheat. You have to use proper technique, okay?”

Very pretty!

@keilah-h

If anything out of the three Soldier is actually the one that would think putting someone in a dress would be funny. Sniper would stab you if you got close with anything of the type lol, he’d honestly rather wear rags (if you remember he got yelled at by Spy for precisely that)

I can see that lol.

Sniper w…[Read more]

I want to animate with it eventually! I probably won’t get to that for a bit though.

I haven’t done any rigging yet. The links worked and the dragons are very cool!

blender as in the program?

Yessz.

I’m currently working on a character model, and I’m almost done with the body. I just have to finish the feet. I’ve made a couple other things but that’s the main project I’ve been doing.

Mel

“You can borrow some of mine if you want!” Mel pushed a pile of comic books across the floor towards Lucy. She looked happily around at all her new friends. Then she giggled. “Mom and Dad are gonna be so surprised when they come home and see you guys.”

@loopylin @keilah-h @whaley

Gabriel

Gabriel dearly wished to be able to read well. The pictures looked beautiful to him, and he wanted to know what they said. But he couldn’t admit to the young girls that he couldn’t read. He was supposed to be their…[Read more]

Lucille

Lucy stared at everything. Mel’s home didn’t look anything like hers, but most of the objects had some familiarity to them. They looked almost normal but made with weird shapes, colors, or with parts Lucy didn’t recognize. The television didn’t even look like a television – it was just a black square. State-of-the…[Read more]

Mel

Mel giggled. “You guys are all eating them wrong.”

She handed Lucy a cheese stick, and then Soldier three more. Then she held her own cheese stick up in the air like a baton.

“Tour time! Come on.”

She began wandering around the kitchen and living room, pointing out various things she considered importa…[Read more]

Aww. That’s slightly similar to Lu’s pet nickname, which somehow hasn’t appeared in the rp yet. I’d give you a free drawing if you could guess it, but I doubt you could. XD

Huh. Interesting. *Stuffs it away inside my head*

I do wonder what it would be like if Noelle was one of the children in the rp. But I’m pretty sure Gabriel h…

[Read more]

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel took the offered cheese stick, trying to open the packaging. It felt so weird to his fingers, smooth and cold without texture or the same crinkle as paper. He eventually ripped it open, but hated the texture of the cheese. It felt a bit slimy to him, but he didn’t want to offend Mel, so took a…[Read more]

Lol, yeah

Mel

The kitchen was small, with vinyl flooring and fake marble countertops. It was connected to the living room by a large doorway. In the living room was a couch, an armchair, a bookshelf, and a tv. Toys and comic books were scattered around on the carpet. Some were forced into the living room as the group crowded…[Read more]

Did that leave you with more questions or answer some?

That answers enough questions. Although I guess I have one more. Is all this worldbuilding and character stuff new? I’m curious to know how the novella is coming along, what with this recent disclosing of information.

@loopylin @keilah-h

Yeah, it’s cool how many different ways the…[Read more]

Lucille

Lucy started, looking from Mel to the door. It had changed without the rest of them noticing. The stains of mud on the door made it look as if it belonged outside, pulled from a backyard or a porch.

Food sounded good. Lucy’s heart felt tired, in a good way, but that meant her body was tired too. She was a l…[Read more]

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]

LOL hearing the slang in Lucy’s world from her is cute.

😛 Many of the people living around Lucy are young men who work in the factories or the fields, and she sometimes talks with them when they’re in the soup kitchens. I still haven’t decided how different the Outer Fields teenage culture is from the more populated city areas…[Read more]

LOLLL Soldier is something special.

@whalekeeper

Why can’t Gabriel leave the island? Are there crazy storms that make it impossible to sail away? Or is it the demon monsters that get in the way?

The island is in a state of isolationism that started 200 years ago because of the rise of the monsters. So yeah, the monsters are the r…[Read more]

(Perhaps that is a weird thing to congratulate someone for. No matter.)

It makes sense, I don’t mind it! Just don’t say that to someone who’s scared of aging XD.

Thank you!

So she might know places beyond the island? Gabriel would surely ask her about that, even if she doesn’t know about them.

Oh yes, she knows quite a bit about t…[Read more]

(i wrote this when I was angry about someone calling me an AI for the THIRD FLIPPING TIME on the internet so that’s why she’s screaming internally lol)

Lol, so that explains why Huntress was angry.

Azalea

Huntress sat down on the stones and gave a death stare towards the man. “Now what? You gonna send us all into a pit of doom too?”…[Read more]

Oh yeah, that’s the normalest thing for your characters. Not weird in the slightest.

Her name is Lillian, she’s a race of merfolk.

Gabriel has had so many girls have secret crushes on him, and bro has just been oblivious to all of them. It’s genuinely crazy. The only reason he even noticed with Lillian is because she…[Read more]

@loopylin @keilah-h (funny thing, I keep typing your KP tag on Unvale and then confusing myself when your username doesn’t pop up XD.)

Gabriel

“I’m supposed to name it?” He questioned, peering at it in his free hand. For a second he had thought they were an earring until Lucy gave an explanation. “I never name…[Read more]

who’s room should we do next?

Mel

“I’ll call him Paul… Junior.”  Mel fumbled around with the pin for a moment, trying to put it on without letting go of Gabriel’s hand. Eventually she gave up and put it in her pocket.

The fact that Soldier has kids is what sends me.

Lucille

“Its name is Gryllus rubens,” Lucy explained. “Or Gryllus texensis. But… that’s just what I was trying to make. If you think it looks like a… another species, you can, er… call it anything you want.”

Lucille

As the adults checked on sleepy Mel, Lucy had an idea. She wandered over to her desk – a small, ash-colored piece of furniture with all of her papers and her typewriter stacked on the side. It was much neater in comparison with the mess underneath it.

A part of her wanted to sit down and do her homework; do…[Read more]

Also Lucy and Mel, if you two keep this up, Gabriel’s going to go full dad.

Poor guy isn’t going to want to leave the labyrinth. Or help Lucy magically grow up again. Or… idk, he just won’t like it if he can’t keep an eye on these girls.

Gabriel

Gabriel gently squeezed Mel’s hand, casting Huntress a quick look as if he was horrified she would deny a child’s hand like that. He smiled at Lucy, before looking down at Mel. “Did you sleep well? Don’t fall asleep on your feet, okay?”

I know, it’s short. Also Lucy and Mel, if you two keep this up,…[Read more]

It is so fun having a child character to confuse the adults with hehe

(also, sorry if I interrupted the moment y’all were having)

Mel looked up at Huntress, frowned confusedly, and then immediately walked over to Gabriel and held his hand.
She intended to hold somebody’s hand. That way, she wouldn’t get left…[Read more]
