Unfortunately no, I don’t have more. I want a window box, but I don’t know how that would actually fit in my window since I live in a college dorm.

Tavar

He shrugged, a frown creasing his forehead.

“To be honest, I do not know. If I had not just been reading about the value of food to one’s inward strength, I may have…[Read more]

Oof I kinda dropped off the face of the earth there.

Yesss. That would be so cool to see miniature roses everywhere! Unfortunately, the pot I ordered initially was too damaged to use so I have to get another. Hopefully my little rosy will wait that long. 😅 So far my characters have largely escaped the obsession… Except that Tavar…[Read more]

Great!

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!

YAY! I’ll look for you on there when it starts!

I am barely keeping up with my college classes and work as it is, so I’m afraid I won’t be joining.

Same as Koshka. I’m juggling schoolwork and writing at the same time, and although I write a decent amount most days, it’s easier for me to keep the habits I have now. Not sure if it’s worth joining an unfamiliar challenge.

That’s just me. I hop…[Read more]

Your colors are great!! Your practicing has really payed off.

Is anyone…[Read more]

I have ordered a new pit for the miniature rose my dad gave me. Now I’m researching what kind of soil I should get. Nothing is safe. Every character of mine is in danger of obtaining a plant baby. 😂

*clears throat*

Tavar

He settled back into his chair. It was across from the hungry boy, in view of potential librarians.…[Read more]

Tavar

“You are welcome. Do you have another…” His brows scrunched together as he searched for the word. “Shnack? There’s a seat in this window that’s quite hidden from the librarians.”

He held out a hand in welcome, ready to catch the boy if he stumbled.

Moth

“Violence?” Moth tilted his head. He stared at the target and squinted. “But I don’t want to hurt the hay bale. It has done nothing but grow in a field.”

He found himself scowling at the third arrow in his hand, as if it was at fault. “Everything is so eager to… It doesn’t matter. Are you saying I should imagine the bal…[Read more]

@beth-torres Thanks! He definitely has it now, although he hasn’t entirely learned how to use it/what he smells.

Now for the RP…

This RP has got me thinking… I’m playing with the idea that Tavar can smell diabetes, maybe even cancer and malaria, since his folk are supposed to have GREAT senses.

That’s a real thing. I know of at least one woman who was proven to be able to smell Parkinson’s disease on someone before diagnosis. It’s possible to smell dif…[Read more]

Moth

Moth blinked and shook his head to clear it. “I didn’t intend for that to happen, no.”

Maybe it was a one-time accident. He motioned for Ari to walk out of the shooting range, and after making sure it was safe, he strung another arrow and shot again.

This time, it transformed into a yellow poppy, and twirled in the air b…[Read more]

Sorry for the late reply; I’ve been a little mentally swamped.

Moth

Moth took a look at Ari’s hand. He put the ring on and dropped an arrow onto the bow. He studied Ari’s hand position, looking back and forth between their bows, and did his best to mimic the expert. It was probably best to be sure of what to do before he pulle…[Read more]

Noted. It’s canon now.

I like her despite herself. XD Two librarians are better than one. Besides, it’s a huge library. One would be overworked.

Oi dearie me. This is a lovely kerfuffle.

This RP has got me thinking… I’m playing with the idea that Tavar can smell diabetes, maybe even cancer and malaria, since his folk are supposed to have GREAT senses. It’s an avenue of sensory finesse that I haven’t heard included in a character… And I just like the idea of him…[Read more]

This was lovely to come into. Let’s see…

Tavar

…In such cases, the emotional loss is heightened by the lack of physical strength usually found in food. Comfort the patient…

The boys who had been wandering around the library were talking again. Tavar glanced up at them for a moment, just long enough to see what they…[Read more]

Hiiiiii!! It’s been a while, haha! How are you??

I’ve published Leon/Riker’s 1st and 2nd books within the past two years haha, and a lot of changes and things so I’ve been super busy.

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

Hmmm. He sounds dangerous. A man with a motive indeed.

Lol! Yeah, my friend interrupted my stuttering explanation of this character (an elven prince who risks his life to sneak a little girl to his dad so she can be fostered in safety… Then proceeds to spend the rest of his “immortal” life looking after her.) with the words, “So, he’s attractive?”

I stopped mid sentence, mouth open,…[Read more]

He looks terrifying!

I received an opportunity to illustrate a book. I can’t say too much yet, but if you are interested, I will let you know when it is published.

That isn’t a surprise. You’re a great illustrator. You should let us know when that happens!

I also confess…

@loopylin @beth-torres

Tavar

The thick leather of his book’s cover was creased with hundreds of years of eager hands cradling it just as Tavar did now. Where the ballads he had read yesterday had sported detailed illuminations in every possible margin, this tome left space for notes from the scribes who had copied it…[Read more]

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.

Ah! That would be fun!

I’ll see about getting an intro RP in after work this evening. If y’all want, he will be quite free to be run into (thinking that might fit the circumstances better, but who knows lol.). He will probably be reading in a corner or window. Some little nook or cranny.

@loopylin

I have homework I must do…

Goal: One discussion post before 10:40.

I have a character I would like to explore… Like Ari, he belongs to that world’s history, although he is very unconnected. He does important stuff when he’s older, but he really develops his character as a young person, long before his “story” begins. Which in turn makes that a deliciously fun time to explore. He would be…[Read more]

*Wilhelm is too distracted by watching Jasper to notice anything else suscpisious*

Lucy: *Tries harder and manages to push their hands back into a tie*

I didn’t realize I put this in the wrong forum hahaha, I meant to put it in the Chat Chat

You caught us in the middle of characters interacting. XDXD

Moth: *Inspects your post thoughtfully* “What is… Instagram?”

Sorry Sara, I’m not really on social media. :’)

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]

Ah! That would be fun!

I’ll send a link by email.

Lucy: *Pushes as hard as she can, arm shaking, slowly losing inch by inch* *The more she loses, the more her eyes blaze with excitement*

So the queen is an immortal jellyfish? Like the actual species?

Her design is more based off the pacific sea nettle, but I decided that the ability to reverse their ages for Cnidfolk is more like a gift than limited to a certain bloodline

Gabriel: *Pushing her hand back an inch* I bet you will.

Art isn’t easy, that’s for sure. For every good drawing I make, there’s an abomination.

So the queen is an immortal jellyfish? Like the actual species?

Lucy: “Yeah. But don’t be fast. You have to let me practice. I’m going to beat you when I’m grown up.”

Looks very important, perhaps aristocratic,

Interesting. They’re often considered nobility actually. The one in the drawing herself is a queen who has reversed her age so many times she has extended her lifespan beyond what should be possible even for her kind. Yes, I have worldbuilding already XD.

It would be cool to have a jellyfish merfolk puppet on strings.
