Some art from the National Gallery when I went there recently. Sigh, my camera is not good, but it is one of my favorites.

@loopylin

Should Blackjack be an Australian shepherd?

Good scenes, though. Joseph was a tiny bit preachy when he had his character shift arc, but it worked since that’s been his struggle since the beginning.

I can’t wait to see what happens next. 🥺

@ellette-giselle

Ellette!!!!! 🥺🥺

What are you going to do to them??

@ellette-giselle @keilah-h

That reminds me of a really cool, sweet mom at church (one of my favorite people) who approached me with a YA fantasy book. A friend of hers, whom I didn’t know, had written it and wanted some feedback from teenage girls.

I and my friend read it, and we coincidentally had one favorite character that stood out. She was…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle lolllll

tbh I’ve never made characters completely based off people I know. I’ll let them make self inserts and put them in my stories, but it’s always them in charge of who it’s gonna be.

@smiley

Hey that sounds way more developed than when you originally had the idea! I remember when you started getting hyped up for it. I like the structure, even though I haven’t read Lunar Chronicles, so you could have pretended it was your idea and I would have never noticed. XD

This one’s my fav

@grcr

Yes I can relate to the thankfulness of God’s mercy (no chance I deserve it)

It’s mostly in the brainstorming phase

@jonas

Ooh cool

@mineralizedwritings

Yeah I think for me I had to take a complete step back in a way to show God I’m willing and because of that I think He was able to open my eyes to the in-person peopl…[Read more]

@hybridlore I think so.

Though we haven’t had any new people for a while… I wonder if Kathleen has stopped like checking people in. 🤷‍♀️ It used to be, like, every weekend or two we’d get a handful of new folks.

@keilah-h

Weird. I can’t even remember how they let me know I joined… probably an email. It’s worth checking.

@theshadow yep! I have a channel! It’s called The Slate Dragon. There’s nothing really worthwhile on there yet, just me testing stuff out.

I use Blender for animating. It was easier to learn than I thought, but it is pretty tedious (It took me over 3 hours to make a 15-second clip).

@theshadow let me know what he thinks!

@hybridlore @whalekeeper My brother wants to join, but so far they haven’t let him in or sent him an email or anything. (That second one might be because he never checks his emails though, lol)

@smiley ooh interesting idea!

you and @freed_and_redeemed are making me feel better about the fact that I use the exact same characters for like 5 different fanfic plots lol

@whalekeeper

I have mental health stuff, but I wouldn’t attribute all of it to oldest kid responsibilities. For me it’s a factor among other factors, not the cause.

Same. I think my OCD actually contributes a lot to me being bossier as an oldest child, because I like to have things a certain way.

@theducktator

Same. That, (and my obsession wit…

@theducktator

I think my parents have just given up trying to make me go to bed. I was up past 2 am reading the other day.😅 How many little siblings do you have? I have 5.

Yep, mine gave up too. 😂 I have five younger siblings, three boys, two girls.

@smiley @hybridlore @idk?

Like I see everywhere that being the oldest sister is like a ton of work…

Barnes

Barnes nodded in thanks to Percival, and wrung her hands a little, twisting her skirt in a rare moment of nerves. “That would be… good. Thanks, Percival.”

No one else seemed to be greatly hurt. Emeline had returned, and Hugo was unscathed. The two brothers were interacting out of earshot. As the young fighters regro…[Read more]
