Literally everyone loves your concept, so you’ve got originality conquered and in the bag, girl. XD

I love it so much but it loves to frustrate me and taunt me with its vagueness. Maybe you guys could help me make it make sense?

Thanks for the debriefing! I’ve read up on these concepts before, but it’s been so long since I focused on them, that I felt you were better able to summarize these things.

Of these, I think effects is actually the least important. Access and costs can both be very important, but cost probably a bit more so.

Definitely agree with this. Any…[Read more]

Aaand I’ll reply to everyone else, but I have to go. *Poofs away*

@koshka

That type of randomness must be preserved.

I agree. You can definitely keep that vibe and just make up the rules for yourself so you stay consistent. You wouldn’t have to tell anyone the rules of the system.

It seems like your magic comes from fantastical animals. I don’t know if that’s true, but I do think that would be a great source of…[Read more]

@jonas

Thanks! I guess it just sounds worse in my head.

It seems a bit limitless to me, I guess. It can bring anything to life, including just plain drawings made with the ink (Benny, from the adventure role play, if you remember him). Is that too overpowered or vague? I could just be too hypercritical of my own writing lol

Yall keep changing your names and I get confused thinking there’s new people online when there aren’t. My tiny brain can’t handle it. I don’t even know who I’m talking to anymore. XD

I have a sort-of magic system. It has many, many problems. I love it so much but it loves to frustrate me and taunt me with its vagueness. Maybe you guys could help me make it make sense?

Basic idea: Ink is a dark liquid substance found in the earth that has the ability to give life. It brings to life the inanimate objects it…[Read more]

I could fangirl all day over Secret of the Wings

My childhood 🩷🩵💚 I was completely obsessed with fairies as a kid. Those movies formed a big part of my imagination back then.

@whalekeeper aaaa nooo I wasn’t taking about the dark evil death moodboard! I just type slow so my posts are always delayed : (

I choked on my own breathing 🤣😭

And I wasn’t even trying to make you laugh this time lol

She seems like a fun character! I love fairytale retellings. I’ve had an alice in wonderland wip brewing in the…[Read more]

I could fangirl all day over Secret of the Wings. Except that would bother people, so I choose not to. (You’re welcome, random people around me.)

@koshka

Yeah, so it’s still floating around your brain like you just discovered it. I can totally see that working as a soft magic system. Is this something you want to solidify more, or is it goig to be fantastically random? (Either is great. ;])

trash griffins

I am also interested

@koshka That sounds like a fun world though. Love the idea of trash griffins hehe

Why did no one inform me of this until today

@loopylin

Love the genderbent Smee

I choked on my own breathing 🤣😭

@godlyfantasy12

It makes me so sad they didn’t do it. I think there might be a book series out or releasing which is written about Tinker Academy. That’s all I’ve heard. I found a fun video essay about it on YouTube, but haven’t finished it. Tinkerbell was such a thing for me as…[Read more]

@koshka Im sorry what? There’s an Ella Enchanted book???

Love the genderbent Smee

@godlyfantasy12

Oh my goodness, have you ever heard of the Tinkerbell movie that never finished production? It was called Tinker Academy or something, and rumor has it, it was going to be steampunk themed. I can’t believe they didn’t make it.
