That’s a joke.

*Snort*

His fingers brushed the next handhold. Just a little farther. He stretched, straining to reach the last inch till his gip caught on the rough circle. Good. He swung up, feeling out a higher foothold.

Sweat trickled down his back. Ari grinned at the sting of salt. Almost to the top.

Shouts below mixed with the squeak of shoes on tile. Swords…[Read more]

Remington

Callum sighed as if still recovering. Poor thing. It must have been wrong to ask him so many questions. Remington, biting his own cheek in subdued guilt, patted him on the shoulder.

He turned back to Ellis. “Remington LaCreux, prince of… well, technically king of Surabond. If you look on the map, we’re that country that…[Read more]

Remington

“My current theory is that he has fainted from pure joy,” Remington explained. The stranger next to them came up and took Callum’s other arm.

Callum groaned. He seemed to regain focus, and rubbed his temples. “I… faint easily. You… overwhelmed me.”

“Ah. Maybe I overstepped just a little bit.” Remington brought his left…[Read more]

Marcel

“When I first got here, I made friends with a younger kid, the headmaster’s son. He was getting beat up by his own brothers.” Marcel’s mouth tightened at the memory. “We tried to report it but… nothing happened. I haven’t seen him in a while. Things happen in the open and the teachers do nothing about it. Punching matches in th…[Read more]

However, he is influencing my sister.

Hehehehehhe

He is sixteen years old and already contemplating disowning his family.

We love a snarky, rebellious teenager. The energy Ari gives off is palpable, and you haven’t even written him yet.

@loopylin

It would be funny if all the characters were mostly clueless about other countries and had n…

However, he is influencing my sister. She just grabbed me by the shoulders and demanded I add a certain character because she believes it needs to happen.

And so, while I wait for the perfect moment to drop LeQroi’s next, here’s Ari, a character from the history of a WIP my sister and I have been developing…[Read more]

Thx! I cackled more than normal. This is why they say writers fall in love with their side characters more than their main characters. 🤣

He’s like a golden retriever trying to befriend a terrified opossum hehe

Funnily enough, if Remi was an animal, I picture something like an opossum. Just in appearances. P…[Read more]

Remington

Seeing so many fresh, wide-eyed faces brought Remington more joy than he ever would have believed.

New kids were always interesting to meet. They all came from different places and cultures, and lived their lives in a way Remington couldn’t imagine. But they all had the same bright, chaotic wonder in their…[Read more]

After much deliberation, for no serious reason, I feel it makes more sense for all of these characters to come from the same huge world. A world with a huge map, isolated countries, and separate magic systems/cultures. While portal fantasy is easier, I think this way gives us more…[Read more]

Being an Aryan supremacist is a million times worse than being a furry. And worse than being woke. I’m glad you didn’t put that on your paperwork

Girl nooooooo… 😭😭 You shouldn’t have said that out loud, because that means you considered it. That random government worker probably thinks you’re white supremacist now, oh my word.

I’ll write a Remington POV in a little bit. When he goes into his room, that’ll be your sign that it’s curfew.

@mineralizedwritings @loopylin

When that happens, we can just assume our group went to bed. Unless either of you want to state otherwise.

*Shoves popcorn in mouth*

Marcel

“There was at least one death,” Marcel mused. “I was there for that one. I hung the other two guys on the roof spires.”

Wren looked a little shaken.
“I’m sorry, that didn’t make any… You know what?” Marcel looked up from where he leaned against the bleachers. He shut his mouth, then opened it. “You should know this place is…[Read more]

I mean to ask what kind of handsome you are referring to! What is his face shape? Round, square, long? Does he have a long or short nose? What shape are his eyes?

If none of that matters to you, that’s fine. I shall find pictures of German youth and create from there.

Marcel

Marcel read the card, then looked back up at the young woman. “Wren Tallow. You’re asking me about the deaths, aren’t you?”

I am shivering in ridiculous amounts of delight. Why is it so exciting when someone accurately reads a character?

😂🤣 I get it. I feel the same way. The best way to make someone’s art feel seen and heard is to interpret it. Even if it’s not perfectly accurate, it means you’re actively thinking about it.

Why is it always portal fantasy

I think because it accommodates everyone. It’s the only way for all the characters to make sense and not constantly contradict each other.

I’m not trying to dictate how this works, so if we want it to be different, we can try to be more cohesive. Depends on what people want to do.

I like your conquering…

There he is! Quite thoughtful looking, indeed. Gentle. The dear fellow could be so much more brash if he wanted to, but he’s too good. That’s my impression of him.

See, that’s what I thought at first. But then I started picturing it this way, because some of the characters know nothing about any other country. And that doesn’t make sense unless they’re all isolationist.

I’m confusing myself at this point

How would you describe Wolfgang’s facial features?

Who should I draw for you?

Hmmmmm… I’ll think about it. ;]

Yeah, I know. XD

idk, I think of it as somewhere that belongs to none of their worlds. Like the wood between the worlds (see Narnia)

Yeah. I was picturing that it’s possible to go from one world to the other. Many worlds don’t know about each other. But some are very familiar with each other, to the point where countries from dif…[Read more]

There was a quiet respect in his voice that he didn’t try to hide. Marcel deserved it.

Aww. Reúven seems like such a thoughtful guy.
@loopylin
Marcel
Marcel had stopped playing to stand in the bleachers. His arm was scraped, and he was a little out of breath after playing for so long. No matter how good he felt after ex…[Read more]

I’ll probably draw Wolfgang! He is in the roleplay, after all, so that gives me more ideas to consider when drawing him.

“You really think you saw fairies or something in the garden? Are you sure it wasn’t some kids playing ghost tricks?”

Moth Prince: “Rude 🤨”

I wonder how all these boys’ worlds are supposed to connect together, because clearly they know nothing about each other.

Yeah, I get it. I saved up a few years ago, because I didn’t want to ask my parents for something so expensive

If it’s a matter of knowing what to get, I recommend an iPad, matching pencil, and Procreate. Getting Procreate is a one-time cost and this set-up has lasted me years. I’m not super serious though, so some people might…[Read more]

Okay! Single Pringle or a couple, either is fine.

It is what it is. I’m just saying, my character has witnessed some things, and this is supposed to be a chill high school AU. *Shrugs*

I believe we have reached novel length

Wren doesn’t have to do that. Just an option in a sea of options

I don’t know a lot about your characters’ appearances anyways, so it can be someone old or new

If you want, Marcel could give her the scoop on all the violence going on. He was in the basement previously and knows people with stab wounds go down there to chill. He could mention it.

Yep! Do you make digital art, or solely traditional?

But now I want to doodle personalized memes

:-p

Wait…. do you have keepers in person over there?!?!

We used a website called Magma to make digital art on shared canvases. :] Not in person. It wasn’t super intuitive for me at first because I’ve only ever used Procreate. But it was a lot of fun

I forgot about those, hehe. Okay. I lost my apple pencil yesterday, so it must be found before any art can be made. If I was to draw a character, who would you want it to be?

A character swap is a fun idea. I’m not entirely sure if I’m up to it, because I’m not disciplined and my drawings are not of a dependable quality. Sometimes they turn out good, sometimes really bad. :p

Yes, he’s a leopard gecko! XD We got him for my brother, and now he’s basically a family pet. We have owned many different pets, but the lizard is newish.
