Welp… turns out my characters are going to Italy!!!

I had a totally different plot planned for this story, but after some brainstorming, I’ve come up with a plot that is ten times better!! The only problem is… I’ve never been to Italy…. I’ve been doing some research on customs and culture, but there’s nothing like hearing firsthand experience. H…[Read more]

Fair 😂😂 I just don’t like yogurt 🤪

Also, I know braces hurt, but in the end it will be worth it!! I had braces for two years, but when I got them off,  my smile looked so much better!

Yogurt?? 😖

@whalekeeper

I could not ignore how cute those cartoons turned out!! 🥰 Love them!!

I subscribed to this topic so I keep getting notifs 🤪

But this is an interesting conversation. I think I can agree with both points you ladies are making.

Yes, men and women have roles predetermined by God. I’m not going to marry some guy who relies solely on me to protect and provide for our family. (Nothing against stay-at-home dads, but you k…[Read more]

My brother would most certainly not be smiling. He’d be saying, “What the heck are you doing?”

Lol XDXD I get that. The brother would think she’s crazy at first and he’d be scared for her, but it’s still a gesture of love.

If she was going to go with him, at all, she should go as a nurse or something and work behind battle lines…

Of course, in the best scenario. Do you see how going with him represents victory over her fear? Can you imagine the smile on her brother’s face when she insists on doing everything he has to do, right alongside him? Even if it isn’t the best thing that could have happened?

@mineralizedwritings
Oh yes, it’s totally nostalgia XD But you might like it because it has the mystery of happening underground in mines. The deeper you go, the stranger things get, and the melancholy of a lost world keeps popping up in the music or background art. It is very immersive.

@ellette-giselle

Yes, staying home and giving support would be best in a perfect world. I totally get that. But it’s all about Bonnie’s mindset, WHY is she doing this?

Bonnie hides behind all the traditional supportive things because those are the safe things, everyone expects you to do them and her brother has a hard time believing it’s…[Read more]

They are better than what I can do, at present. :]

@mineralizedwritings

Thank you! The hands are a learning curve, but much easier than realistic hands.

Yuussss I play Hollow Knight, it was my first video game. <3 I could say a lot about how awesome it is. The combat and storytelling are the best part.

Does this make sense to anyone else? :’) I hope it does.

@ellette-giselle

I think you misunderstood what I asked, but this works too 🙂

What does it hurt you to take a few steps in the opposite direction of the world?

What if we step too far into the other extreme? I believe another extreme exists. I agree, men and women are literally different, but there are so many nuances in every person. That’s k…[Read more]

Cartoon drawing practice! Did this for a couple hours. I used a bunch of different references.

@ellette-giselle

I like it! 😊 It looks familiar but I can’t remember what I’m thinking of

@koshka

Why can’t a woman fight for a man? Not out of *superiority* (snotbagishness), but out of love for a fellow bearer of the image of God (aka human)?

*Nods in agreement* But to take it further, are there other reasons for a man or woman to act outside of those norms?

Now let me go get that charger before I disappear…

*Taps the screen* You ali…[Read more]

I have a female protagonist, Barnes, and she is a huge leader and fighter. There is a huuuuuge maternal dominance in the story, and the main protagonist would not exist otherwise. Because Barnes is not misusing her power and she has good reason to be a more physically dominant being, I don’t think she is a bad person. She’s largely a victim of…[Read more]

Thanks for the thoughts!

I truly wish there was some way to objectively judge every action. It seems like everything depends on the spiritual aspect rather than the physical, but I’ve learned to find it comforting.
