Not-So-Secret Secret Assassin

@theducktator

Yay! I’m not the only high schooler who still trick or treats! What are you going to be? I’m going as a flapper.

Oh wow, that is such a good idea. O.O I’m going as the princess Hornet from Hollow Knight.

@the_lost-journal

I’m sorry you worried – you do not need to, I assure you! 😁 It can sometimes feel like things are slowing down for good, but usually people are just busy in real life. This forum is not one of those forums which has slowed down since it began, fortunately. Lots of people are active right no even if they aren’t posting…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal oh awesome!! I see we have a lot in common. Also, I love your species names.

I’m sure the shark-Argonites and the Arraia would probably get along quite well! I’m imagining an underwater city with both of them….lol. I don’t know how the croc-Argonites would feel about them though.

Do the Pardalis have more human faces or more…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle
Is Collins saying we should all act like Darwinist survivors tho? Just because Katniss has a traumatized survivor mentality, doesn’t mean Collins thinks it’s a good thing.
I thought the evil government was about:

Desensitization – – – – dehumanizing others (the birth of the Hunger Games) – – – – now children are traumatized and…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Gotcha

 it’s all about doing whatever you must to survive. Then we have covid, and what happens? Americans make compromises with their freedom that should never have flown all in the name of survival

Yeah totally. A text, especially something that can be sloppy around the edges (like Hunger Games), can negatively affect the cu…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

Yeah I’m not a huge fan or critic of Hunger Games. A lot of the appeal for teens is drama/gore thrill, but to just dismiss it because the protagonist has an overwhelming survivor mind defeats the point of her character. You feel me?

@rae

Oof. I feel you a bit girl. My Dad has chronic Lyme’s. My big brother had to go to Mexico when he was two to take an experimental Lyme’s treatment to save his life. Thankfully it worked for him.

That’s crazy. And what makes a chronic illness even more detrimental is how the effects trickle down to different members of the family, whether phy…[Read more]

@mineralizedwritings

XD you mean me?? I guess I can sheepishly take that title 🤗

*Stitches the title into a cap and puts it on your head*

Hey that’s not what I meant! 😂 I meant I wanted a update on how much you are enjoying gravity falls, not that you needed to update to a new show! Have you finished? Is it still really good? What’s your fav…

Girl the line art texture, I just can’t 😶🤯

@ellette-giselle

Cool discussion on 50 Shades, I’ve been exploring the 2010s romance/dystopia through video essays for some time now, and that was one of them. What a freak of nature. XD I’m disappointed with Wilson’s take on Hunger Games though, just read an article on his opinion and it was very shallow. Wilson is one of those people I have…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal ok!!

so it’s basically like a “speculative fanfiction” of world history. Basically, what if instead of the Earth being one planet, it was a galaxy, and its countries and stuff are all different planets? So instead of sea battles there are space battles and that kind of thing. All that is more worldbuilding than anything else, I…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle sure thing!!

I wouldn’t mind that. I don’t listen to podcasts much but that sounds interesting.

@freed_and_redeemed he seems sad…..

What happened?

@mineralizedwritings whoa, very cool!

Min!! 😀 Congrats on your achievement, that’s impressive!

There’s not a lot of news. Just people doing normal people things. :] A couple new roleplays are attempting to spring up, and the castle roleplay is not too changed, I believe? We definitely have new people though.

I’m still writing my main wip ATOH but I’ve been working a lot more on my…

@ellette-giselle aww that’s a shame.

The ones you got are cool though!

@ellette-giselle oh no I never said I liked what was in there. I just mean that like if it had been an ordinary horror or fantasy story, not a romance, it probably still wouldn’t have been good for Christians to read (cause of all the paranormal creatures and stuff, blah), but at least it wouldn’t be smut and probably wouldn’t have driven half a…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle you’re welcome! I’m liking the Marvel drawings. The others are great too, but y’know, I’m not as familiar with them cause they’re your original characters.

@ellette-giselle lolll the green ember one!!

oh and yes….I think “oh, there certainly aren’t THAT kind of people in the world”  and then I take one look at the internet and am like “yep, there are, and they’re worse than I imagined”

I’m glad there are nice sites like here.

@ellette-giselle ooof

worse than Twilight????

Somehow I thought that was nearly impossible to do without sacrificing all that makes a story. I mean like twilight has all that stuff, but a few of the story concepts are almost salvageable if they were in a completely different, better written story.
