“Because this place is dangerous, and no place for a child. You should be at home, eating cookies or something by a fire. Children should be protected above others, because they’re the future, and the most vulnerable. That’s why.”

They rounded a corner of the maze, opening up into a circular area, about thirty feet in…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Lol, yes.

Gabriel Mai

The foggy labyrinth stretched on before them. Gabriel’s hearing had returned, and now be could hear footsteps somewhere along one of the many passages. They were too far away for Gabriel to be able to distinguish man from beast. He kept his hand on the hilt of his knife, eyes scanning the walls of the maze.…[Read more]

“Lucy! You should have used the key to go home!” Gabriel dug his fingertips into his hair, before sighing, composing himself, and putting his mask back on. “Let’s go.”

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel looked down at her. “You really shouldn’t breath in mysterious mists that are down low like that. Many poisonous mists are heavier than air.” She appeared fine, so Gabriel decided not to freak out. “What is it you want me to look at?”

Whaleyyyy, what kind of question is thissss 😭

Jk jkkkk, I’m just not sure off the top of my head how to answer this 😂😂

I feel like most of my WIPs start off with a tiny little snowflake of a plot until I snowball it into a full-fledged plot/story idea. But from that little bit of a plot bunny, I always start with the characters before I touch t…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

oh yeah, I guessed it was secular, and I like some secular tragedies. I tend to like the Christian one’s better. XD

I’ll have to check it out sometime!

@rae

Not to beat a dead drawing (lololololol, totally just made that up on accident because I typed the wrong words. XD) But I was looking at the two pictures and I know why I like the sketch so much better as Baron (or Barron? No….. it’s one “r”…. I think) anyhow. The colored in version is more correct to real life with the hair and wind…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

Interesting…… I may have to check it out!

XD oh boy, you like a good old tragic story?

Are you kidding??!?!? If I’m not crying at the end of the book, (and several times in the middle) I feel sold short.

Okay, lol, there are plenty of books I’ve loved that aren’t tragic, but yes, I love tragedy. I have a thing for it.…[Read more]

@loopylin

Aw thanks! I felt like sarcasm so that’s what we’ve got. XD

Rory

“No, I don’t. What are they?” He glanced around. He was perfectly fine carrying this fellow for another six hours or so. What was bothering him was the fact that he wasn’t sure where to go, and he also had a feeling that it was going to draw attention.

@whalekeeper

Oh, she’s so precious.

Gabriel Mai

Bittersweetness filled Gabriel. He could see the conflict in her movements, and while he wished her to stay, he also knew that she needed to go home. She didn’t belong in this cursed place.

“Lucy, I don’t matter. Fairness is a luxury, I am a peasant. But you…you need to go home. If that door…[Read more]

Gabriel Mai

“I…can survive in this maze better than you, and you’re just a kid. You need to go home.” He almost pulled his mask back up, to hide the sorrow in his eyes, but stopped himself, forcing his hand back down to his side.

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

He handed her the key. “Go. You need to get home.”

Idk what else to rp, sorry.

@whalekeeper

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel watched her desperation, momentarily hoping that the doorway really did lead to her world, but he doubted it.

“If…if the doorway really does lead back to our worlds, then you should…go back.” It hurt to say it. He knew he’d never see her again after she went home. A tiny part of him hoped his suspicion that…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

Sorry for replying so late for being active, i was reflecting on your post in the Prayer thread and forgot we were rping.

Gabriel Mai

“Hm? No, the imp said the only way back were the crystal orbs, this is probably just a tease, an image to make me more desperate to get home. Come, let’s see if they have an image of your home too.”…[Read more]

@whalekeeper

oOoOoooOh I like this idea (much better than my randomness lol)

Gabriel Mai

Gabriel ran his fingers over the wood of the doors. Perfectly smooth, not a splinter. He tried a handle, finding it locked like the one Lucy had tried. If he had to, he wondered if he would be able to break one of these doors down. Was it hollow or solid?…[Read more]

Girl, Ellette writes some of the most tragic characters. She and Freedom make it their business to make KP cry, I swear.

Also, thank you. The hair took me forever.

@ellette-giselle

Thanks!. I may go back and put in some parts of the original design, but I said I would let this…[Read more]

Rory

“Who said you couldn’t? And steal a what?!” 

@mineralizedwritings

Idk If I’d recommend it here it’s pretty tragic.

Ooo! *is immediately interested. XD*

@rae

Wow. That is the best drawing I think I’ve ever seen you do. The coloring is perfect! The shading… the tones… it really looks 3D!! Wow! Great job! (Personally, I like the hair direction and expression of the sketched Bar…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings @ellette-giselle

So, first, Min, thank you so much for the advice! It was genuinely the most helpful advice I got (I posted on reddit and Unvale and I didn’t get anything).

Second,

AH! Don’t touch it! Okay….. maybe a little, but leave the eyes and expression and hair. It’s perfect!!!

The expression is still there, but it ha…[Read more]
